Enjoyed the service and restaurant overall. Had the fried Zucchini Flower appetizer and shared a Caesar salad. Salad was great...too much breading on the zucchini flowers. Pizza was good. Enjoyed that. My wife got the tortellini and it was pretty good. Lemonchello cake was good. read more

This place is so cute and so comfortable. This is a real old school mom and Pop style Italian American restaurant, it gets crowded and quickly so reservations are recommended for weekends. We had appetizers and pizza. Also worth noting it's a BYOB, they do not serve alcohol. So, we know that for next time, but we had iced tea this time. The pizza is fantastic, the one we had was with sausage and broccoli and hot cherry peppers, very nice and a crunchy thin crust. Fried calamari excellent as well. We will definitely return, the service was great and they really make you feel at home. It's so old school and cute, it's just a comfortable place that you could go to all the time. read more

Brick Oven Restaurant - Calamari marinara (off-menu request) - Pizza Near Me - Brick Township, New Jersey

Was this worth it for $30? I think so everything very good the rigatoni instead of the penne good touch the pizza made exactly how you would want it. The tiramisu has a good coffee taste with the espresso. The only downside is that this doesn't come with a side salad for as much as it cost, but it is a good decent size. It's definitely well worth it, but a salad would've been nice but for that, I give it a 4.8 out 5 read more

Better then ever! Renovated outside, tablecloths inside, food outstanding! Still "flavortown" to us. Waitstaff are the best. And, don't forget, they take reservations too! read more

Great pizza and service. Food is fresh, great sauce and any entree will satisfy. Love the eggplant parm!

Waited a while to return here under new management and couldn't have been more disappointed. We were a party of 8.and know one was spared the ineptitude. Let's start with apps that we waited forever for the Calamari was cold and the mussels had that off fishy taste. The entrees had their own issues. We'll start with the Grouper special two of us had, they were cold and the sauce was so salty my wife couldn't eat it. The pork chop Giambotta was supposed to have sausage in it none present in either (2) dish also Luke warm. Veal Saltimboca dry and over cooked same with chicken Alfredo. On to the most egregious offense my friend didn't receive her Chicken parm until almost everyone was finished eating (20 minutes) also all entrees came with a side half of which 4 arrived with the chicken Parm. I have to say they pulled off spaghetti and meatball woo woo. On top of it all no apology from management whatsoever. Move on to your next choice of restaurants...... read more

Ok people here we go. So we have been hearing about this place called Brick Oven pizza BYOB with 1and that their chicken parm is better than Spano's in Point Pleasant. So we have to try, I'm a Spano's fan. We pull up to a small parking lot on the point of a road and the outside looks like a basic pizza shop nothing exciting or inviting. We walk in and are immediately hit with the brick oven pizza aroma and I loved it. The hostess was super nice and sat us immediately on a Sunday at 5:30 pm. Our waitress Dominique came to our table and she was very nice and professional announcing the specials which sounded wonderful. Andrea ordered the grouper over pasta for $30. I ordered the chicken parm over pasta for $27. While waiting they gave us fresh warm bread with oil and Parmesan cheese. Very fresh and good. Wow food came with a ticket time of approximately 10 minutes and the portions are way above average. Now remember everyone has different tastes. The chicken was done perfect and very fresh. How ever I'm not a fan of their sauce because they make it with pepper so it has a slightly bitter taste. The grouper again very fresh but the menu should say it fried. I don't feel a $30 grouper should be fried. But again it was good. For dessert we had the limoncello cake $7 and the pistachio cake $8. Both were fresh and delicious. Total cash bill was $76 and credit card bill was $79. All in a very nice small place with big portions and good food. I will come back and try something without the sauce. As of now Spano's chicken parm is still the winner for me. read more

Simple yet cozy place. Staff is very friendly and upbeat. Food was delicious. We often get pizza here( best in Brick) but decided to go sit and have dinner. Loved the calamari and both had different pasta with bolognese sauce. Wonderful! Marissa, our waitress was attentive and fun. read more

100% the best buffalo chicken pie in NJ. The blend of mozzarella and Gorgonzola with the green onions is unmatched. The traditional plain pie is also lights out 5/5 would recommend. read more

Casual Italian spot with the expected dinners, very reasonable prices for NYC. Excellent Pizza! Not a brightly lit pizza place and not a darker romantic spot-just perfect for a casual family dinner. I'll go back again! read more

this is one of those places that you don't really expect to be very good. it is a very small restaurant with very limited parking (beware!). they were, unfortunately, very understaffed when i went. it took a very long time to get seated and an even longer amount of time to order. what saved them was their food! and the customer service once the business died down a little bit. the (what i presume) owner or manager came over and was very kind. he apologized for the situation and gave me a little something extra for the trouble. their garlic bread is absolutely delicious and i highly recommend. i tried their chicken parm one night and it wasn't the best that i've had but it was very good. what i do recommend is their brick oven pizza. it was very yummy and had a good crunch to it. also this is a BYOD restaurant so keep that in mind when you go! read more

I was wondering what is happening with Brick Oven Pizza as it's been closed for over two weeks now. I miss my BLT Pizza

I had the drunken clams over pasta, which was terrific a great cozy place to enjoy dinner with friends Service always good

BEST pizza in town! I have lived here my entire life and have tried every pizza place in existence, and we always find ourselves going back to Brick Oven. It's on the thinner side and has a great brick oven taste to it. I've only tried their pizza so I can't speak to anything else. And the owner is so nice! He knows me by name now from going there so much, and I feel bad because I don't know his name lol but definitely a great place! read more

Normally, this is our "go to" place for pizza and especially their broccoli Rabe. The pizza quality and flavor is in a gradual decline. We ordered at 8:40 were given a 9:20 pickup time but picked up a cold pizza with very few dabs of sauce spotted on it and a small tin of steamed broccoli Rabe, no garlic, no flavorings...just 4 stems steamed. I believe their take out has too much volume to maintain their usual quality anymore. Sad. It used to be reliably delicious. read more

Best pizza in town. Blows everything else in brick out of the water. Hands down favorite pizza in 08723

The first time we went the food was excellent. Year later we went back and I can make a better sauce they did that night. I would recommend the pizza. Stay away from the eggplant. read more

The pizza is excellent, and so is the entrees. You will not be disappointed in anything on the menu. I have only done takeout, but the restaurant is always packed which tells you how good it is. It is a BYOB establishment and the service is always very good. read more

You can't go wrong at one of Brick's best Italian and BYO restaurants, Brick Oven on Mantoloking Road. The menu is not extensive but there is good enough representation across the food groups to make every critic happy. The bread and olive oil dipping sauce is a great start. Caesar and Mantoloking Salads are fantastic. Try the Calamari with the Spicy Cherry Pepper Sauce (not too spicy), you can thank me later. Every entree we have we love: Pork Chops Giambotta, Faroe Island Salmon, Tuna, Chicken Parm, all top notch. Service and management attention to details are also above and beyond and appreciated. We love having Brick Oven right in our backyard, like I said you cannot go wrong! read more

The food is always amazing! Our last meal there was Drunken Clams and Mussels Marinara appetizers, Lazy Days Grouper and Pasta Puttanesca entrees with a side of broccoli, followed by Limoncello Cake. We've also had the crab cakes and the gourmet pizzas, which are also worth ordering. There hasn't been a bad dish, ever...even the veggies are fantastic! read more

So glad I finally tried this place after reading many of the fantastic reviews..I got their "Trenton wood fired pizza" ..it's delicious there is nothing about it that I would change. Thin crust just the right amount of sauce and mozzarella cheese, cooked perfectly While I waited for my pizza I was checking out some of the dishes they were bringing out.. everything looked delicious read more

One of my favs. Pizza is delish and their Nonna's Meatballs and Baratta Ravioli are my favs. My boyfriend loves the Scallops St. Jack and their calamari is delicious. read more

Would NOT recommend and would never be back. First there were things floating in our water for the table which was a major turn off especially that we realized after we started drinking it. We all happened to order the chicken parm, and though it was edible it wasn't anything to get excited for. Big cutlet, very little sauce and one square piece of mozzarella that didn't even cover the chicken. Service was decent and we did order pizza which was pretty good as well. Obviously this is just my personal review but we were unhappy with our visit and wouldn't return even for a free meal. I would suggest more sauce and also investing in some higher end mozzarella. read more

Good and service are always great. GOOD food!! Chicken parm delish, pizza is equally good. Brick oven pizza selection always great! And if you come when they have the eggplant tower appetizer...get it with red sauce. Soooo good read more

The expense doesn't meet the taste nor quality. Ordered extra crispy buffalo wings, got soggy breaded wings Prices are too high for what they're selling, never going back. For the young lady who took my order is the only reason I give this place any stars read more

I highly recommend brick oven restaurant!! The pizza is amazing and the food is out of this world. It's also a byob if your into that

My parents eat here all the time and for good reason. The pizza is super tasty and the entrees are big in flavor and portions! We absolutely love it. BYOB too! The Pork Milanese is exactly how it should be - pounded thin, tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. It's accompanied with a delicious Basil dressing. Chicken Parmesan is consistently great. The seafood specials are always awesome. Eat here :-) read more

Ho hum and what you get is overpriced as well as under delivered. A glorified pizza joint that is trying to be something better than it really is but can't seem to accomplish it. We should have stuck to a pizza and ordered cokes instead of bringing a nice wine and ordering pasta. BTW - Their music has got to go ... read more
