I don't know why The Brick Pizzeria gets a poor 3.6 rating because my husband and family of 7 think it's the BEST of the BEST pizza around...better than our pizza places in Florida (where we live half the year), better than any of the big name brand stores, and their garlic knots are absolutely out of this world delicious!! I will agree that their personnel change often and their service isn't always what I'd call great,. but I've never been when it wasn't bustling busy and it's hard to keep employees in a small town business. WE are happy as a large family to cut them some slack to enjoy their great food and unlimited drinks (tea/coke). Give them a try - I'm sure you'll keep going back. When we come up from Florida, THE BRICK is on our minds and how soon can we eat there....I hate that they are closed any day of the week!! (Closed Sunday & Monday) BE SURE TO ORDER THE GARLIC KNOTS no matter what you order...my DIL loves their ANTI-PASTA SALAD. I GIVE THEM A 5 PLUS, PLUS, PLUS, but had to settle with "5", the highest number rating is allowed. read more

The pizza, in my opinion, is nothing to rave about. The ingredients taste like they are lower quality. A regular size pizza is expensive. The sandwiches are expensive and look like they are just "slopped" together. I really don't understand the raves this place gets. read more

Pizza and garlic knots are delicious. Homemade ranch dressing on the salad. Service was great. Waitress was really attentive. Plenty of seating and a brisk to go business. They were great about husbands food allergies too. read more

Food is great and the service is awesome. Garlic knots are great and you can just about make a meal out of them. Pizza is the best around.

This is a hidden gem, located in Columbus, NC. A small place but they have plenty of seating. This was the 2nd time going here. The last time there brought my Mom and she loved the pizza. So we ordered a Pizza and I just had to try the French onion soup. The soup was very good, lots of cheese! The pizza was just as remembered. The crust was cooked perfect! Light yet crispy crunch to it. We got sausage and peppers on it, got a bigger one to take home the rest to freeze. Definitely a consistent restaurant. The waiter we had the last time too. He was on top of everything. I heard the garlic knots are very good, will have to try them. The table behind us got them. I did try the antipasto the last time and we shared it. Very good. We will be back for sure. Stop and get a pizza you will like it! read more

Food was good, wings were nice and crisp. We did carry out and didn't have to wait a long time.

Pizza was delicious. Even though it was packed the service was excellent. Will definitely return next time I'm in town

I've heard great things about this pizza and being that it was busy, I figured it had to be good. The food was terrible! The garlic knots had little to no garlic but they had cheese. The pizza was so bad, my very hungry, non picky husband only had one slice. I don't care if it's made in a brick oven, it had an unpleasant sauce and a heavy cheese. The inside was run down and had uncomfortable seating. The only positive was that the owners were working very hard to keep things going. read more

The food is delicious! I try to go least 1-2 times a month.. You be sure to try the Pizza Knots-Delicious!

Awesome pizza! I think the Brick is under new ownership. We have been going here for many years and I think the pizza has gotten better. I have eaten a lot of pizza in my 77 years and the pizza here may be the best ever. Beware, the place is so good it will be packed, especially on weekends. read more

We went overboard, we got the Greek salad, garlic knots, pepperoni pizza! Everything was great ! Jamie was a great waitress! Very sweet, great smile, very personable and great service! read more

Yummy food for us to pick up on the way from SC midlands to NC mountains. Pizza and calzones are exceptional!

My friends have been raving about this place for years and decided to make the drive to try it out. This restaurant is set in an old mountain town and from the surrounding area, I wasn't expecting much but have never been so wrong in my life. From the time we sat down until we left, the server and staff were phenomenal. The restaurant itself had some interesting decor from fire fighters memorabilia to clown painting which made the atmosphere really neat being able to see something different on each wall. AND our friends were right, this pizza was worth every bit of the hour drive to enjoy. The toppings were fresh and delicious, the mozzarella just melted in your mouth followed by the crisp hot crust. My favorite over all was their garlic knots. Legitimately pizza dough rolled with mozzarella and brushed with garlic butter made these hands down best in the area. Compliment them with the house made ranch and blue cheese, these were great! Highly recommend this place to all pizza lovers, we will be heading back in a few days to do this all over again! read more

The pizza is amazing! When I go visit my grandparents I allways make a plan to eat at this place. The Brick Pizzeria and Cafe is my dad's favorite place to go. My waiter was good and I think waiting for tue check is part of the experience. I would really encourage to come here if you live or visit near here. I would travel 45 minutes to just eat the pizza. read more

The Brick has always been our favorite pizzeria. The pizza has always been delicious but the staff is inadequate. I called to place an order and was asked to hold. The phone was laid down and I could hear another line ringing and orders being taken. I even heard someone come to the counter and order. Each customer was given a pickup time of 30 and 35 minutes. After approximately 15 minutes, the phone was picked back up and I was asked for my order and was given a 45 minute pickup. I cancelled my order and asked for the manager only to be told there wasn't one there. I asked for a call back when the manager came in. Jamie, the manager, returned my call and apologized but that doesn't mean that much when your eating PBJ for dinner when everyone was wanting pizza read more

We called in an order when we were driving up the interstate to pick up on our way to the mountains for the weekend. The pizza was amazing - our kids are picky cheese pizza eaters and even they approved! Highly recommend the Margherita for the adults. read more

Pizza was very good. Good crust and abundant toppings. The buffalo burgers were delicious. Very busy serving a lot of first responders. Ambiance was good for a little cafe. read more

Food is always delicious! This is my go to for wings and pizza. The garlic knots are a staple for our bread. read more

The service was really wonderful! The young man that waited our table had good information and suggestions. The garlic knots...dude...they were to die for. So much cheesy garlicky goodness. And a really good portion too! The pizza was fresh, loved how fresh the ingredients were. My only suggestion was that I thought the crust/dough could have used a little more flavor. It was missing some salt for my taste. But it was so good and cooked to perfection. I will dream about those garlic knots though. read more

Great little Pizza place. The Calzone was one of the best I have ever had. The people were awesome.

My wife and I tried this place tonight for the first time. We wanted to find an alternative to Side Street pizza for Friday pizza night. We were a little concerned about the reviews that spoke of poor service. Well, tonight Bryce single-handedly laid those concerns to rest. He was personable, accurate, and timely even though he was running his butt off. Now to the food. I agree the garlic knots could contain more garlic. As they are now, they are more accurately called cheese knots. The fact that fresh garlic isn't on the list of pizza toppings should have been a clue. The sauce on the pizza obviously isn't canned and is not sweet. Very good. The standard crust was a little thick for my taste but my wife who loves bread more than I do thought it was perfect. Toppings were fresh and the cheese amount was perfect. The decor is pretty kitschy (everything from the flag of the pope to fire helmets and clown pictures) but hey, it's a pizza shop, not Delmonico's. Being a retired fire chief I appreciated the fire stuff. In the end, we've found our new Friday night pizza place. They are hardworking folks who put out a very good product. read more

Great local pizza joint and the rest of the food is just as good. What every small town needs

The pizza is great. There isn't enough wait staff and because of that they were not attentive enough. We waited 15 minutes before anyone came to our table to acknowledge that we were there or take drink orders. And this was during the week. read more

My husband and I regularly visit this place, no complaints, however today was a whole different story. Upon going in and taking a seat we waited for 15 minutes for someone to approach us to take a drink order, but instead we were talked down upon by the most unprofessional waitress in the facility asking if we knew how to read. I don't believe we will ever return to such an unprofessional environment. Very disappointed and let down! read more

Used to LOVE the Brick Pizzeria and rave about their pizza. However do not love their new hours. I've now tried to order a pizza on two different occasions and could not get an answer on their phone. Decided to go by this evening and learned they changed their hours, they now close at 8pm. 8pm on a Friday night, we weren't the only people they turned away. Sad for one of our favorite local pizza joints. read more

The food is hit and miss. It sometimes is excellent but often not! The service is typically indifferent, due to poor management. For example: they close at 9 but rudely kicked customers out at 8:15, claiming their kitchen closes at 8. Ambiance is comfortable. Could be a decent restaurant with better customer service and professional management. read more

Great food but the service is horrible No communication from cashier It looks like it had great owners but they not there A bunch of no English specking people working there The lemonade drank was water The food was incorrect Sad .....place looks like it had good times read more

So good and very reasonably priced! Hand tossed or thin, fresh ingredients. Nice salad! Definitely would eat here again!

Good food, good service and a good price. The garlic knots are great. Try the Italian sun.

The first review I read was about the couple who drives up from Spartanburg just for their calzones alone.. Kiddos to you & the Brick "House". You totally exceeded my expectations & I will be back to your intimate casa! Bungalow establishment for another calzone soon! read more

Excellent pizza! Super friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend. I drive up from Gville SC at least once a month to get their white pizza with fresh mushrooms. Noms. Garlic knots are great too read more

The owner was very inviting and kind. They were short staffed and let us know as soon as we walked in. They didn't want us to be disappointed if they took longer than expected. We were very surprised to be in and out in under an hour. The food was really good and the service was top notch. I 100% recommend this establishment if you're looking for yummy pizza and great service! Try the garlic knots! read more

Great garlic knots! Pizza is good too, but I'll take an order of the knots and call it a meal

Pizza and wings are good. Service is ok I would give them a 7/10 on that. Order accuracy is 8/10. I would just recommend checking your order before leaving if you had a pickup/call in order. Parking is on the Main Street and very limited during the day. read more

Great food. Very courteous staff. All wore masks had every other booth blocked off and great experience all around. Highly recommend read more

This restaurant serves the best pizza in the county. We've been going here for more than a decade. There have been changes in ownership over that time. They have had turnover of wait staff. However, they pizzas have been of consistent quality. I recommend this restaurant. read more
