first off this place is amazing. the vibe the food and most of the people. but there is always one person who ruins it for everyone. there is one particular person Andrew who is not very nice. he literally talks badly about the other managers and the people who is not in his group. he brags about getting raises to everyone. but the way he talks about the other managers is so inappropriate especially to the customer. but other than this person this place is great. from Amy and Kat behind the bar two amazing bartenders. to all the waitresses Nikia Jenn Shayna Miranda you couldn't ask for better servers or a better place to go go there and enjoy read more

I stopped into this place because it was close to the hotel and it had good yelp previews. It was absolutely slammed and I placed my order and received my pizza within 15 minutes. They have their takeout service down to a science. This is one of those pizza places where it would be best to go with a large group of people order several different styles of pizzas and kind of do a tasting? However, I went solo and thoroughly enjoyed my Mamma Mia. Great pizza, cool bar and very old school pizza joint vibes inside. read more

Brick & Basil Wood Fired Pizza - Mamma Mia - Food Trucks Near Me - Yantic, Connecticut

I'm always looking for great pizza in unexpected places in CT. Earlier this year, I noticed Mama Mia on a monthly Yelp List identifying the Most Popular Restaurants in Connecticut. That's how I first learned about @brickandbasil in Yantic. I visited several months ago, but forgot to post my review. There was a bit of a hiccup when I visited. I drove about 40 minutes to get there, and when I arrived, I learned that they were closed for their first ever private Baby Shower party. I was crushed. But this story has a rated PG Happy Ending. I called the restaurant and spoke to Amy. I explained that I had driven a ways and asked if they could make me a pizza to go. They didn't take long to tell me that they would make me the first pizza of the day before the shower got into Full Swing. I was grateful for their hospitality, and terrific wood-fired pizza. I was inside briefly. They have plenty of seating and a bar that with decor suggesting a love of music. I ordered the Mama Mia and ate a couple slices outside. It had sliced meatball, roasted red pepper, mozzarella and ricotta on a good chewy Wood Fired Crust. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The red sauce had bright flavor. The ricotta was creamy and fluffy. Brick and Basil is well respected in pizza circles, and I can see why. It started as a food truck. But a food truck that starts with the word Brick, was bound to have a Brick and Mortar. And we're lucky they do. 5 Stars read more

I haven't come to the new location so I wanted to give it a try. Very spacious interior, which they needed because they were very busy. The service was friendly and we didn't feel forgotten. I got a Philly cheesesteak rangoon and a white knight pizza. Pizzas come in one size, about a medium. I thought everything was cooked properly, and the flavor combination of the cheese, bacon, and honey was well balanced. Probably the only down side was the bathrooms might remind you of a dive bar, pretty disappointing for a new building. I can 100% recommend visiting. read more

I stopped here for lunch today. I worn around the corner. It was my first time here and I thought the interior was nice. All the hand painted artwork gives you plenty to look at while waiting. I ordered their love salad with chicken added. It was awesome. And huge. I will definitely be back and definitely want to hang out in their bar. Looks great! read more

I almost don't want to write a review for here because then other people will know about this hidden gem. But alas, it is too delish not to share. Came here with the besties because the one has been raving about the Thai pizza for forever and we needed this in our lives according to her. She was correct. But I'm getting ahead of myself. We kicked off with some drink specials, I had a Cherry Garcia martini because duh....have you ever heard of a Cherry Garcia martini? I haven't, so I needed it. Absolutely delish, perfect with the cherry on the bottom. Us girls split some Philly cheesesteak wontons, they were annihilated in about 2 mins. We then split the Thai pizza, mashed potato pizza, fig pizza, and took the spicy one to go. Can confirm Thai pizza reigns supreme of all pizza options now and I'll be comparing all future pies to this one, thank you. Amazing. If I could give 30 stars I would. Such out of the box flavors, my heart was happy. read more

First time here, had seen it on instagram and decided to head down 395 and try it out. When we walked we were pleasantly surprised seeing the "dead" theme. My lady and I are fans of the dead and Phish so it was cool seeing all the posters. We were told there was a 25 minute wait and we only waited about 8 minutes. We ordered the Fresco and the Potato Bliss. The pizzas were phenomenal, the potato bliss pizza was disappointing because it wasn't the size of the table. I could've eaten 3 of those . The fresco was covered in sweet delicious sauce and tasty mozz. We will definitely be back to try out all the other pizzas. read more

They are very overpriced for one size Pizza, with burned crust and bottom. The Pizza is only 10" and they charge for the typical price of a large. They also do not live up to their hype. Idk why they located theirselves across from the BEST Pizza place in the state, (Illiano's Grill) but they do not stand a chance or hold a candle to the flame, so to speak, with the "wood Fired" Pizza that goes past the usual char of a typical wood Fired Pizza and crosses the line to burnt to a crisp. They also take twice as long as Illiano's to deliver, on the same street. I was packing and readying myself for a move when I got brave to try Brick & Basil Wood Fired Pizza. I also asked ahead of time if they use Oregano in their Red Sauce and I was told, No we just use Basil. When I received my order, there was Oregano stuck to the Cheese. I have a mild allergy to Oregano. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my grandson. He got the turkeynator sandwich with that called risotto risotto. I got the meat balls with fries. I also got a glass of wine. Waitress was very friendly, also the man who seats you. It's a clean place. Both our meals were very tasty and filling. If you're in the area give it a try. read more

It was good, just not amazing. We like New Haven style pizza better. However, the service was very good and the flavors for the specialty pizzas were spot on. We tried the Thai one & the fig and pig. read more

Today we visited again because it was late and there were not a lot of places open and we had a good experienced yesterday. The food was good, the only thing was the band. We didn't expect the band to be there and they were kind of loud, I mean, they are a live band, which is normal. If you want a quiet dinner, make sure you check to see if the band is going to be playing. The food is great. read more

Ive been here many times. The Service and atmosphere is always good. The wait time is hit or miss. It is a spot that has a few dishes I absolutely love, like the turkinator and Mikes hot honey butter bread, and some that were a miss. It is local so stopping by for a to-go order is nothing new. Today I tried a spinach gorganzola salad and added shrimp. Which was a $7 add-on making the whole salad $22.00 and I was very surprised to find only 4 shrimp. I understand everything is expensive but 4 shrimp just kind of seems like stretch. Anywho I do always think this place is good place to stop by if you've never been. However I would stick to the woodfire basics thise never seem to let me down! read more

Great pizza and they have the Hughies Love Salad!! Good beer selection. Service is good, once you get a table. Beware... they can get very busy in the evenings, especially Fri, Sat & Sun. With the wait if you have the time. read more

Solid brick oven pizza right off of 395. They offer a wide range on the menu but the star is their brick oven pizza. We did takeout here and overall experience was pleasant. They do Toast so payment was easy. Mowie Wowie Pizza was very tasty with the mixture of pineapple and bacon. And yes, pineapple on pizza does belong. Lol. Many pizza places don't offer any other dinner entrees other than salad but Brick and Basil does. We've tried the Turkey Tips entree and that was also a winner. Loved how the turkey tips were marinaded in honey bourbon. Turkey was incredibly moist. Truly enjoyed it. They also offer your usual coke beverages--but also the local Hosmer sodas which is a CT hidden gem. Overall staff was very pleasant during my short visit. Restaurant was easy to find and plenty of parking. Cheers. read more

The best wood fired pizza I ever had! I brought it to my son, and he loved it too! He said it's the best pizza he's ever had!

Great pizza and possibly the best pizza in Eastern Ct. Our group had one pepperoni, one clam and one sausage. All pizzas were fantastic!

Amazing, great food and people are friendly! Clean and fun environment. Stop by and have a slice!

Recently we made our second trip here...it was not like our first impression. The hostess was snippy with us when it was not the least bit crowded or busy on a Sunday. Building your own pizza was not the same as a pre-set one. The toppings were uber skimpy on portions of build your own toppings but a steep price for each. read more

Wife and I were starving after spending the day in the nearby hospital. We found Brick and Basil by chance on our way home. So glad we did. The Food and Service was excellent. We had the sandwiches and side salad which were very tasty. Atmosphere had a nice happy friendly vibe. We were lets-say overall impressed with the experience. We live about 35 miles away but will definitely go back for more of their delicious food. Did I mention the portions were large and the salads were plentiful with all of the fixings. Nice experience. Thank you to the friendly staff for all of their work. To the owner let me just say keep on doing what you are doing. Bob R from Marlborough CT read more

I originally stepped in to this place about a year ago. And was blown away by the quality and flavor of their food. I ordered the bolognese and Philly Rangoons. My husband ordered steak frites. Everything was super flavorful and cooked to perfection. Down to the gravy that was served with the steak. A huge difference from our recent visit. The Rangoons were bland. Clearly, they changed the recipe. The bolognese was also bland. I'm not sure what has happened over the past year, but there clearly has been a huge change. Either the staff is new or they're cutting corners on recipes and diminishing the quality. Very disappointing! read more

We brought our family there because of the rating.We had three different pizza's and of them were fantastic!

Great place. We go there often. GREAT pizza. Quinoa bowl is very good. Meatballs are great. Salmon is good.

Top tier. I highly recommend this place. Food is amazing staff is very professional but also laid back. Drinks are great. read more

Prepare yourself to wait. This place was packed at 6pm on a Saturday night. It was 20-30 minutes wait for 2 people. We had 2 appetizers-meatballs and mussels. Both excellent. My husband had the pearly gates pizza- he said good. I had a perfect burger with salad instead of fries. Best food I've had out in probably a year. Really great. Service was also very good.

Another great Friday night of food, fun people and music. If you want a little spice to start off, the fresh Basiltown spicy margarita is an epic choice. The selection of local and craft beers has something for all palettes, not just IPA lovers. The pizza is amazing brick oven flavors. The margherita was delicious and the meatballs are clearly homemade with nicely shaved fresh Parmesan. Not in the mood for pizza? The Turkinator with caramelized onions and cranberries is the way to go. Service at the bar and at the tables has been great every time we've been here, no matter how busy they get. read more

Stopped by during a road trip in my travel trailer. Parking was plentiful and easy to navigate my trailer through. The staff was friendly and my order was carried out quickly. I ordered a "Clam I Am" pie and a craft soda. The pie was loaded with clams and fired to a perfect cracker crust; it was fantastic. I sat in the shade at a picnic table out back.

Well went Brick & Basil the other night for pizza and a salad instead of going home cooking. The pizza was good but and I mean but the salad Hueys famous love salad was the worse salad I've ever eaten or tried to eat. I don't know if they were just having an off day or just wanted to get rid of old tomatoes and lettuce, covering it with way too much dressing and bread crumbs a total fail. Harsh but totally honest critique. read more
