Well, we're old, and we've been coming to Brick Oven (or Heaps, as it was once called) for almost 60 years, and I have to say, something is changing. Historically we've always had great food here, and we haven't been for a few months, but we were here just the other night with family for a graduation party, and almost everyone on our party commented the same way - "it isn't what it used to be". I don't know if it's changed ownership, or what has happened, but the quality of the food has gone downhill. I had the all-you-can-eat soup, salad, pasta bar. I always love their chicken noodle soup, but this time it was watery and not creamy like it's always been, and the flavor was entirely different. The salad bar was good, but their traditional green ranch dressing is no more, and all they use now is cheap, white, runny ranch dressing. The pasta bar was fair, but the selection of the sauces, I felt, was poor, and the marinara sauce that I settled on for my only trip thru was very watery. My wife ordered a small pizza, and it wasn't great. Very dry, hardly any sauce. Our server was great, no problem there, and the atmosphere is still good here, but their food quality is declining, and THAT'S what we come here for. Feels like they're cheaping out here. Pick it up, Brick Oven! read more

This is one of those pales that has grown out of tradition and do somethings really well while other things are kind of mediocre. But everyone goes here or brings out-of-towners because it's someplace they went to as kids or BYU students. The pasta bar is very good with great sauce or gravy (if your from back east) options. Every cause I tried was great. Good Italian sausages and meatballs too. People rave about the freshly made garlic bread but I found it rather ordinary and more or less like we make at home, maybe we make better garlic bread at home than most people? But I was not impressed after all the hype. Great house-made root beer. Great Salad bar. Here is where opinions and tastes really matter, everyone told us how great the pizza was, we ordered three to go after our meal to take home. I was disappointed in all of them. Yeah, they are better than grocery store pizza but with the level of praise these good I was expecting something like Mellow Mushroom or high heat wood fired pizza. I found the dough too thick and ready and lacking in any buttery or crispy edges. The toppings were not special, canned or generic brands of meats you get at any grocery store deli counter. Maybe in the past it was once fresher and les from cans. The sauce was surprisingly lacking, if you are the kind of person who likes pizza that's really just bread with some cheese on it this will be your speed, one of my daughters doesn't like pizza sauce of any kind and she likes this pizza. For mee ti was way too thinly applied and with the really heavy cheese they use I felt like I was easting over priced cheese bread. The cheese itself was not the traditional mozzarella, it was some kind of blend that had a Gouda or goat cheese taste, some may love that but for me it was a turn off, maybe because I wasn't expecting it. The decor is fun and interesting and service was really good but over all for the price I was disappointed. Stick to the salad bar and pasta and you'll be very happy. read more

Went here to carb up for our half-marathon tomorrow. We were blessed with the most amazing server Ben who is a star server ( literally, he has a star as one of the best servers) He made our experience so easy going and chill, not rushed one bit! He gave a wonderful recommendation for the garlic chicken pizza!! So we split the feast for two which included 2 pasta bars, 2 unlimited salad bars and a pizza. We got our pizza half Napoli and half garlic chicken. The pizza was brick oven fresh and hot! The cheese was very commercial ready stringy! Yum yum yum not greasy at all. Plenty of topping on each slice of pizza, took us to church!! Woo!! The salad bar was well stocked, clean and fresh, no old lettuce. We actually met a wonderful older couple sitting next to us who were doing the half marathon tomorrow too, so it was very friendly, and ben needs another star or a raise!! Will most definitely be back! The building is so rustic I felt like I was in Italy, I just needed to know Italian! read more

This is a fun place to get pizza when in Provo. I have many friends in the Provo area, and every one of them without fail recommends that I eat at brick oven. I have to let them know that I've eaten at there several times and it is indeed a good place. read more

I'm not one to leave reviews but I genuinely don't know how my pizza got so messed up last night for my to go order. I ordered a hawaiian pizza. tell me, what kind of hawaiian pizza has meatballs, mushrooms, artichokes, and olives on it? I'm allergic to mushrooms so I couldn't even eat it. I had to throw it out. It also did not smell great either. I was very disappointed with it because I've eaten here before and had no problems. read more

Brick Oven Provo - Pizza Near Me - Provo, Utah

I think you really get what you pay for here at Brick Oven. I think the prices are extremely low and reasonable for the type of food that is offered. It's more of a quantity over quality type of place. I dined here during a random Tuesday night and the place had a good amount of patrons. My table and I shared a Meats-A-Pizza, which comes with pepperoni, salami, ham, bacon, and sausage. Despite having a lot of toppings it surprisingly lacked flavor. In fact, most of what I tried from Brick Oven lacked flavor. We also had the add on of unlimited access to soup, salad, and pasta bar. The salad bar had extensive options to choose from and the pasta bar was a fun concept. You get to choose the shape of pasta and protein, but the noodles could not have been more overcooked. I tried the pesto cream and tomato sauce, both were devoid of flavor. The meatballs were also extremely spongy. The clam chowder soup actually had good flavor, but was covered in a film of oil, which was off-putting. The garlic bread was pretty good too, but yeah mostly everything else was okay. Our waiter was very attentive and nice and the space is decorated with random Italian and pizza themed knicks knacks. Overall, glad I tried it, as I've heard it's a Provo stable, but it's not a place I will be looking to dine again anytime soon. read more

First visit, this will be a new family regular! Great pizza, ambiance and service was great! Not to mention the salad bar! A+

Used to love this place but it feels like a few things have changed over the years. All the employees are super friendly which hasn't changed but the salad bar had several vegetables/toppings that were wilted/didn't seem fresh. And the pizza was alright, the crust was a bit over cooked and hard. I did appreciate the amount of basil and the balsamic drizzled over the pizza was a nice touch. The appetizer of the artichoke dip was creamy but I needed more artichoke flavor. It tasted mainly of cheese which was good but missed the namesake flavor. read more

Brick oven has always been fun! My husband and I tried the spinach artichoke dip and it was fantastic. It comes with slices of garlic bread instead of chips and that was so much better! They have great root beer. My husband got the Buffalo chicken pizza which he enjoyed. I did the pasta bar which is all you can eat. It's great. The line for it can be long though. read more

4 stars for their root beer. I consumed enough for the next year. And the place is full of cozy nostalgia in every corner. The staff was nice and helpful. The idea of a salad bar and pasta bar are great, but don't live up to the expectation. The rest of the menu is underwhelming to me. Mom liked her chicken alfredo, but everything was just alright and I am not a fan of their pizza crust. read more

Stopped in here on a trip today, for the first time ever, and it blew me away! So much delicious fresh food, friendly people, great ambience and awesome prices! I ordered the 8" pizza and salad bar combo, with a homemade root beer. Salad bar had an abundance of fresh ingredients. So many choices, all fully stocked.TBH I was stuffed after the salad bar, but the pizza was so delicious I polished the whole thing off. Yummy flaky crust. The vibe is so homey and welcoming, it made things even better. The wait staff was super friendly, too. Couldn't have been better! I wish this place was in my hometown! read more

Super disappointing. Food was average, she me was even not good. Server wouldn't allow us to order from the kids menu for my daughter in law that doesn't have a big appetite. That's just poor customer service. I ordered the buffet, but they were out of so much. Advertised chicken pasta, but they said they ran out of chicken 2 hours earlier. It was only 6:00pm. However my daughter ordered a chicken salad and they had chicken for that. Then we asked for cookies for the dessert bar. The customer before me got some. ... they were out - except that you could order cookies from the dessert menu. Server was abrupt and we felt rushed. Wouldn't eat here again. read more

The staff were all very nice and patient with our crazy crew. The food was pretty good. I really do love the Market Side all you can eat salad, pasta and soup bar. The only down side is that every time I go here, I get super bloated after I leave. I don't know what it is. They must have some kind of additive in the soup or pasta sauce or something that doesn't agree with me. But I still come back because it's good. read more

We love coming to Brick Oven. In my opinion they make the best margarita pizza--I am always comparing other margarita pizzas to theirs and I am yet to find one I like as well as this one (and I've been searching for 9 years). The house made root beer is also a fun addition, but mostly all I have to say is about the margarita pizza. I hope you try it and I hope you love it! read more

Brick Oven Provo - 8" cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Provo, Utah

This is a basic staple in the community. I say basic because it's just that, very so so. Nothing that can't be ordered elsewhere for the same price and better quality. For some reason Provo residents and BYU alumni would die for this place. I don't get it. read more

Such a cool location and atmosphere. The pizza just isn't good though. They do have great either and dessert though.

Our waiter, JD, was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and honest with his recommendations, which made our visit really enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised by the Pineapple BBQ pizza; I don't usually go for pineapple on pizza, but JD's suggestion was spot on, and it ended up being a highlight of the meal. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, but the overall quality of the food didn't quite stand out. While I wouldn't go out of my way to return, I'd happily join if friends invited me. A good experience overall, just not a top choice for me personally. read more

The Brick Oven in Provo was the perfect place for our group of six to eat after a great day at BYU Women's Conference on campus. The staff were friendly and attentive. They offered us separate checks which is always greatly appreciated when dining with friends. I ordered the special, an 8" pizza with a trip to the salad bar. The salad bar was stocked with all the things I love on my salad. It was neat, orderly and well stocked. The pizza was excellent! read more

Born and raised in Utah and Brick Oven is always my number one recommendation!!! My family's been coming here since they opened in the 50s and it's always hosted our birthday parties, bridal showers, etc.. The service here is the best service you will ever receive. The employees are the sweetest college students that are so on top of everything! They make the experience a great one! It gets super busy on weekends and whenever there's a BYU game but if you plan it right you can beat the crazy rush. The salad bar is ALWAYS clean and filled with amazing quality food. Their house made buttermilk ranch is my favorite! I drench my salad and pizza in it! The Garlic Chicken pizza(featured in my photos) is my order and it is SCRUMPTIOUS!! If you go you always have to get a root beer as it is homemade and without a doubt the best root beer you'll ever have. I could go on and on about this place and I can never recommend it enough! read more

We decided to visit Brick Oven at the last minute and got lucky when the wait was only about 35 minutes on a Friday night We ordered two kids pizza, chicken fettuccine alfredo, and the pasta bar. They messed up one of the pizzas, but they brought us the mess up and were already working on remaking it when they brought out our food (wrong ingredients). The pasta bar had some more unique sauces which was fun for my s/o to go around and try the different flavors. The Alfredo was so good and so was the garlic bread! I saved half of it so I could have a second meal. The pasta came with the salad bar which had a good amount of ingredients mixed from people dropping them into other containers. All the dishes were pretty close together and you had to reach over some to get the ones from the middle making spills inevitable. My concern was for people with allergies if they were to not see something mixed it could be dangerous. It either needs to be monitored closer or move the foods further apart. Our server was excellent he checked in frequently despite how busy the restaurant was and our toddler forgot a toy and they held it in the front for us to come back. Kids get a free lollipop with their meal and they were pretty large and our kids really enjoyed them. When we went back for the forgotten toy we got some lollipops for ourselves and they were great! read more

The food is alright snd secrets are kind. But not very effective. Admittedly we were a large group of 27, but there were many ordering errors and some people who didn't get their orders. We've done this in c the past without much better service. The staff tried to compensate and made statements to compensate for items that ran out and then forgot and didn't follow through on their promises. It seems like the three service didn't communicate with one another and there was gaps in the way they were overlapping with their service. read more

Update to my prior review: the manager called me back the next day and offered a refund. I really appreciate them taking the time to make it right!

Brick Oven Provo - Their famous house-made Brick Oven root beer. So delicious and refreshing! - Pizza Near Me - Provo, Utah

My wife and I dropped by here around Valentines Day and we had a great experience! We both had a salad bar trip, and the bar itself had plenty of options. Shortly after they brought around some garlic bread for free, and that bread was perfectly cooked and flavored. I ordered the create your own calzone and my wife got the French dip sandwich. I was surprised at how good and well made the calzone was. It was absolutely stuffed on the inside and the Alfredo dipping sauce I had with it was rich and creamy. My wife was surprised at how good the sandwich was at this pizza restaurant! Our waitress was very kind and attentive and she did a great job. I would highly recommend taking a trip here! read more

This place is straight nostalgia. We would always go to Brick Oven after our dance recitals, so it has been super fun to bring my girls here. The salad bar is well kept and stocked, which I appreciate. There are also "sweet" options at the salad bar, which includes chocolate mousse pudding and bits of cookie. The soups are lovely - my favorite is the broccoli cheese. The pasta bar is my favorite, but I can usually only go through once before I'm full so I never get the buffet. Their homemade root beer is a must. If you get it in a float or Brown Cow - even better! Their cookies are thin, but they are soft and yummy. Kids get a free sucker with a kids meal so that's a mega win! read more

We had a party of 20 of us and we were able to have one of their private rooms; it was awesome! Mike was our server and he was constantly refilling our fresh root beers and drinks! The pizza was delicious; my favorite was the Chicken Alfredo pizza! We did their "Heaps Sampler Meal" ($15.99 per person) and it includes 10 different kinds of pizza to choose from, their soup and salad bar, garlic bread, dessert pizzas, treats and their fresh root beer! We were a loud and rowdy group; we had 7 adults and 13 kids so it was a good thing that we had a private room. The servers were all polite and helpful and didn't seem bothered by the loud kids; which as a Mom I appreciate not getting snobby stares from servers when my 2 year old is acting like a 2 year old. Thank you! Overall: Great food, great service and it was the perfect place to hold a family gathering to celebrate 3 birthdays! read more

Well traveling on business I like to explore some of the non-chain options on the number of types of foods.

Overall great atmosphere a lot of families in there enjoying the pizza as well. And the great bonus is they had a huge salad bar many options which I can honestly say I did not try as it was focusing on the less healthy option of pizza!

Family ate here before the men's volleyball game a couple weeks ago. Great location, been here for many years. After some of the reviews I read, I was a little nervous because I haven't been here for years. Luckily we all enjoyed our meals. Everyone loved the pizza I particularly enjoyed the salad bar. Wish I didn't have to drive all the way from Salt Lake or I'd eat here more often. read more

Loved it all! Spacious seating, excellent service, delicious food. The Brick Oven has been around for a while now and it is a staple of BYU Provo, located right by campus within walking distance. We had a delicious meal, they were able to split our pizzas so we had the option to choose from a variety of flavors. We ordered two pizzas, half "Western Steak" and "Buffalo Chicken" and the other half "Margarita" and "Hawaiian". So many different combinations but yet they all hit a home run! The Western Steak had steak with BBQ sauce, bell peppers, breaded onion straws with bleu cheese crumbles and bacon--the onion rings definitely made it. The others flavors. I'm sure you've heard of before, and if you haven't... you need to get out more, I tell ya. Clean restaurant, perfectly cooked food, great service. I will most definitely be coming back :) TIPS & TRICKS: * If you do what we did and split the pizzas, try to make similar ones stay together, it's considerate and thoughtful to the chefs. Plus you don't need them messing with you nor your food. read more

You really can't live in Provo and not eat at Brick Oven from time to time. It's fun to do a review on a restaurant that I've been eating it since I was a child. My go to for most of my teenage years was the market room buffet. Growing up in a large family it was pretty much the only way to guarantee that everyone will be full. These days, we love a Hawaiian pizza, sausage pizza or any one of their great pizza combinations. It's still one of our favorite places to go to celebrate a birthday or to have a root beer. read more
