    Bruschetta with Garlic and Fresh Mozzarella

    The food was absolutely amazing! I have a dairy allergy and the wait staff provided excellent service when caring for my allergy. I had a vegan margherita pizza. My husband had a buffalo chicken, it was tasty but a bit spicy. My daughter had a cheese pizza. It was all excellent!

    Italian Stallion Personal Pizza

    My boyfriend and I were in town to go to Cedar Point and we were really craving pizza. Whenever we travel we like to try someplace new to us. Brick Oven Bistro didn't open until 4pm and we were craving lunch/dinner around 230 so we killed time until they opened. So worth it!!!! I ordered the Italian stallion personal pizza and my boyfriend got a build your own calzone. DELICIOUS. I will be thinking about that pizza every day until I go back! The size was perfect for me to have a midnight snack at the hotel later on. Service was friendly. We can't wait to go back!

    Buffalo Chicken

    We had a really lovely time at the brick oven bistro for dinner tonight! We came around 6:30 and it wasn't too busy so we were able to be seated right away. Our server, Dwayne, was so fun and made our meal even better by his quick quit And personable nature. I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza without onions or banana peppers and my nephew ordered the Italian stallion. My pizza was so delicious! I love the three cheeses that they use for all of their pizzas, *cue the cheese stretching reel*. It was the perfect balance of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing, I was originally concerned that the ranch dressing would be too overpowering, but it was phenomenal. I wish there would've been a little bit more chicken, but overall the pizza was great! My nephew also really loved his Italian stallion And we ended up finishing both of our pizzas! We left stuffed!!

    Whilst traveling to Sandusky I was able to discover this location. I discovered online that they had vegan cheese options. When traveling often it is hard to find vegan options last minute at night. The staff were very friendly and accommodating the chef noted that they use a soy based butter for many of their pizzas and he asked if I would like it. I have to say that there was ample parking around the establishment with handicap accessible parking immediately out front. I really enjoyed the vegan calzone however the size for the personal was extremely small and I expected something slightly larger. Overall I'll definitely check out this location again however I wish they offered plant-based/vegan meat to place in some of their dishes.

    We were visiting from the Kansas City area, where we have amazing dining options. We had not been overly impressed with the food we had found in the Sandusky area in the four days that we had been there and chose this place on our last day there based on reviews. The Brick Oven Bistro did not disappoint! They don't use the word in any of their marketing or menu, but the pizzas here can absolutely be described as "artisanal"! The dough is freshly made not frozen, the ingredients are fresh, it was simply amazing pizza! We also got a calzone and it was every bit as good and fresh as the pizza. Because everything is made fresh, it takes a little extra time, but it is well worth the wait! If you're in the Sandusky area, I can't recommend this place enough. The interior is clean, but not overly impressive. The food on the other hand...fantastic!

    The food was delicious, the waitress was attentive and friendly. We waited entirely way too long for dinner. It took over an hour to get our food.

    We picked this place due to some of the amazing reviews we read and it still exceeded our expectations. This restaurant is only a few minutes down the road from Cedar Point and has plenty of parking. We got there at about 6:30, were seated right away, and had our waiter at the table less than a minute later. They have an extensive beer and wine menu but since we were driving home after, we stuck to water. With 2 adults and 2 teens, we ordered 2 large pizzas to split. The kids had a large cheese and my husband and I had the meatball. So delicious. The sauce was really good and the basil on our pizza was a nice touch. Our server, Durond, was attentive, friendly, and a great conversationalist, despite being a Cleveland Browns fan (Go Steelers!) I'd recommend checking this place out. Whether you are local or just visiting, it has a nice ambiance, delicious food, and friendly people.

    Margherita Pizza
    Loretta N.

    Dinner tonight at The Brick Oven Bistro was awesome! It was our first visit and everything was excellent. We had a great server, Olivia! She was super friendly and very attentive. We had the zucchini fries, the personal size margherita pizza and I had the Pinot Grigio. We really enjoyed everything! I would definitely recommend!

    Eggplant pizza and the best stuffed mushrooms in the greater United States.  (Only half of a pizza because I was hungry - sorry!)
    Amy C.

    This is the best pizza i have ever had in my life. Eggplant pizza? Who would have thought? Delightful! The crust alone is the best anywhere. Smores calzone? Oh my goodness. Just a little piece of dough heaven right there. The service was perfection. Everyone was so nice. The first time I have ever been thanked for visiting a restaurant by everyone in the place. Kansas needs pizza like this! If you are ever in Sandusky Ohio, please put this gem of a restaurant at the top of your list. You will be really glad that you did.

    Brick oven pizza, chicken bacon ranch

    Service was very slow for it not being very busy. Food was delicious. Family friendly place.

    Shrimp Curry Pizza
    Courtney C.

    I visited Brick Oven Bistro on my own a few weeks ago and the staff and other patrons were very friendly and helpful. My server answered all of my questions and shared her favorite appetizers and pizzas since it my first time eating there. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms which were good but a little under seasoned and the Curry Shrimp pizza which was the weekly special and it was delicious! I'll definitely visit Brick Oven Bistro the next time I'm in Sandusky and I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

    Gluten free Pear Gorgonzolla
    Rebecca M.

    I give this place 4 stars for their service. When I called in the order the person taking it was insightful and knowledgeable with my gluten free request and pleasant. It was a busy night for them so my pizza was done in 30 min. I ordered the pear gorgonzola pizza on gluten free with no walnuts and arugula. I found it was over powered with onion so the next time I would order non or light onion. Other than that it was tasty. One size for gluten free and total was $16

A couple of us requested our house salad to only have romaine as the spring mix used can be bitter, also no shaved carrot and no canned red pepper. We requested cucumber and cherry tomatoes instead. Simple request right? Salads each had 1 slice of cucumber, cut in half, 2 cherry tomatoes, cut in half. Here is the kicker...we were each charged $2.00 extra for the cucumber and cherry tomatoes while another person at the table got the same thing, but instead had the regular house salad, which wasn't eatable' due to the overload of salad dressing!! We dined a few times at Ciao Bella last year and had a great experience...being charged the extra $2.00...don't think we will return.

It came to the table with no mint, and I was told it's a mojito mix that they use. It was disgusting. Garlic bread 4/10 Frozen Texas toast, but no garlic. Just tastes like plain toasted bread. Italian Trio 9/10 - House made Meatballs 8/10 pretty good. Lot of sausage in the mixture. - Tomato Bruschetta 9/10 good, except the raw garlic was weird. Roasted would be better. - Sausage & Peppers 10/10 good. Mild. Juicy. Stuffed shells 9/10 The shells were cooked good. Strong sausage flavor, but good. Didn't taste much cheese, and the spinach was good but the flavor of it doesn't come through a ton. The vodka sauce with them was really good, and tons of mozzarella on top. Steak Mediterranean 8/10 Medium rare beef tenderloin tips. Cooked perfect. Sauce was really good. Noodles were cooked good. Again, tons of raw garlic, it definitely needed to be sautéed or roasted (that would make it a 10/10). I liked that they put the noodles and the steak on separate plates. Spaghetti & Meatballs 9/10 Noodles cooked good. Sauce was good. For kids- I don't recommend adding the chopped parsley garnish. Chicken Parmesan 9/10 Really good! Chicken breading was crispy and cooked really good.

We have been coming here for about 5 years now on our yearly vacation for a music festival and to celebrate our birthdays. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very clean. We get the same meals every time. Chicken Parm and chicken Marsala. His chicken parm was amazing! My Marsala, I hate to say was so very dry. It took forever to chew it. Filled up to-go box, they definitely give big portions! I just heated some up for lunch, and found a hair in the chicken, which didn't belong to either of us. Very disappointing. When making the reservation, I mentioned about our birthdays. In years before they would come and sing. But not this year. Which is okay, not like we paid for that. The main reason it gets 3 stars is for sure our server Maddie (Madison). She was awesome! So attentive and on the spot. Someone give her a raise!!!! Needless to say, we will be back again next year and hopefully will have the experience that we are used to.

Going back to the time when I was born (in Ireland, but this story began in another part of Europe) In the 1950's outside of Athens, Greece when a family traveled from there to the United States in search of a better life.
