    Dates appetizer. Great flavor
    Emily M.

    Slightly disappointed in our visit. We've been before and had a good experience. This time was not so great. The food and cocktail menus are good! The appetizers sounded great. They arrived to the table disappointing. The flavors were there, but the quality of the food prep was rough. The bar tender informed us that they had changed the menu steak item (just cut replacement) and that they were out of certain cocktail items to make some of the drinks. That was a little surprising given it was a Thursday and just the start of a busy weekend for them. I'm not sure I'll go back for dinner, but would be content to go to happy hour again.

    We recently moved to RVA and to celebrate becoming permanent residents why not head out for a meal on the town. We landed on coming to Brickfire and this spot did not disappoint. We tried a few things off the menu: the roasted cauliflower (perfectly seasoned), crispy calamari (to die for), and a pizza that was damn good. But the real star of the night? The Brickfire Old Fashioned, hands down one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Great atmosphere too. Brickfire gave us a warm, tasty welcome to RVA, and we'll definitely be back.

    Great pizza, and good beer selection. The crust is fantastic! Beautiful restaurant. We were here and it just wasn't busy on a Monday. Food and drinks came out super fast!

    Came in on a weeknight and they had a small, 3-piece band lightly playing to fill the atmosphere with gentle, entertaining sounds. Their menu is interesting, but I have to say I was disappointed to not find vegetarian options for their pizzas. There might have been one, but for a truly artistic place in such a liberal, artsy area, they should have had more options. Service was mixed - Our main server was forgetful and spacey... We would ask for things and he'd acknowledge and walk away only to come back a few minutes later and ask what we asked him for. Come on... Do better, management! As for the food - The pizzas really needed a slightly higher temperature and about 30 seconds more. The meatballs were cold inside and the sauce was luke warm. The Calabrian cauliflower was also on the cool side - very odd considering we saw char marks on them. Hmm... The flavor of the pizzas was nice though, but it would have been so much better if it was a little more charred and crusty. Overall - This was on my 'hit list' for visiting the downtown Richmond area, that's why I brought colleagues here for dinner, unfortunately it didn't deliver - far from it.

    Brickfire Signature Burrata Pizza

    Visiting from out of town, I stopped by Brickfire to satisfy a craving for authentic Neapolitan pizza, and it did not disappoint! I started with the arugula salad and calamari. The salad was fresh and crisp, but the calamari was just okay. Out of the pizza options, I chose the Brickfire Signature Burrata Pizza, which was nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere had a relaxing, comforting vibe that made the whole experience that much better. I can't wait to return to Richmond to try more of their pizzas.

    Hanger steak
    Pat C.

    Been here multiple times. Ambience is casual. They have a bar and tables. Service is very good. Their pizzas are great. Sausage and rapini has been my one of my favorites. Recently tried their hanger steak and chicken milanese and both were delicious! Tiramisu is also good. Really a lot of reasons why I keep on coming back.

    Meatball pizza
    Andrea A.

    I want everyone to know about Brickfire and how amazing it is. The food is great. Service Is always good and the environment is always friendly. Tonight we had great service at the bar and even better food! We got the meatball pizza - my favorite and the hanger steak. The pizza was super flavorful and the crust was perfect! The addition of the pepper on the pizza adds just the right amount of spice without it being overpowering. The steak was also really good - flavorful and tender. Super tender and I might say... perfect. Highly recommend!

    I think this restaurant has great potential!! I can tell that they are still figuring things out, but their vibe/food is fantastic. We got there right at 5pm on a Saturday and we were one of 2 tables filled, but as the clock approached 5:30/6pm, it really filled up! Every table in our section was filled and every guest seemed happy. Favorite of the 2 pizzas was by far the prosciutto and arugula pizza! Absolutely delicious, and they are generous with their toppings. The calamari was delicious, and it was a generous portion. Their calamari dish is mixed with fried jalapeños & peppers to make the plate seem fuller, but even so there was so much calamari we didn't finish it! Only "con" on anything was that our pizza's did taste slightly underdone. The crust was fantastic on the bottom, but as we bit into our slices we noticed it was still semi-doughy. It didn't take away from the flavors! This was food for 2 of us (we could've gotten one pizza), and we had two slices total left over. Total with tip was around $75!

    The pizza was great. Crust was amazing and good amount of char The place was really understaffed. I realize a Monday night might be unpredictable, but everything took entirely too long. Beware this is a major homeless area of Richmond, so walking around is a little sketchy. Waiter was attentive, but referring to me as "boss" was a bit off-putting. Hate to give only 3 stars, but service...

    Whats Good Yelp Nation, This place came through in the clutch to save my lunch date with my wife. After being turned away by another pizza place I will not name. We were welcomed in at Brickfire. The ambiance is great, a mix between corporate and upscale casual. There were a couple of businesses groups having lunch while we were there. The food was great, the pizza needed just a little more char on the crust. If you leave our pizza in just one more minute it would have been perfect. The flavor was great, the ingredients had all the tell-tell signs of being super fresh. I love a high moisture mozzarella cheese that really melts and becomes almost like a creamy sauce. The service was great and fast. The only thing they need is great non-alcoholic drink selection, common sides, and better dessert options. I highly recommend this restaurant! Thanks,

    Flower power cocktail
    Toni A.

    Brickfire was close to the performance center, so we decided to bring the group here after watching a show. They accommodated us very well, we did call in a reservation prior. The service was a little slow, it took awhile to get our alcoholic beverages. I got the flower power cocktail which I really enjoyed. Sweet, floral, and fizzy. Very fresh feeling. I wish they put a little flower on top like in the picture. My husband and I shared the mushroom pizza. I didn't taste much mushroom. They put arugula on top of everything, and I felt that was very over powering. Not a good move. Minimal flavor on the pizza, I wish the dough was more charred. Although I did really enjoy the burrata, the flavor was nice with the vinaigrette and cheese. The calamari was also tasty with side of lemon. Overall, ambiance was nice and modern, service was average, and the food felt overpriced for what was served.

    Prosciutto and Arugula pizza - could of stayed in oven longer
    Janet L.

    These are the times I wish I could give in between ratings lol! We actually wanted to go to Dinamo but we didn't get there timely enough to get a spot without reservations. Been wanting to try this spot. It was actually delicious. The pasta was definitely a five, I would come back here just to eat the pasta. Pizza was good too, but we all wished it was cooked a little longer. Funny because the menu warns that they can't control the char so pretty much apologizing if the pizza is slightly burnt, we had the opposite problem (granted we had leftovers, and they were great in the air fryer lol). The drinks were also super tasty! Calamari was okay... we thought they maybe double fried it for too long but the aioli was tasty. We will be back for sure, but I think I would order the homemade pasta, seriously it's delicious!

    Lemon drop
    Che C.

    While in town for cheer competition a group of 16 of us made reservations at Brickfire. They were super accommodating and allowed us to make reservations a few hours before we arrived. The place was well lit, clean and cozy. Our server gave us menus, answered all questions and gave us time to make a decision. I ordered a lemon drop and cheese pizza. The drink good but would have been great if I went with a different type of tequila. The pizza was freshly made and super delicious. It was so good I ate the whole thing. Overall good experience and I definitely recommend.

    Old Fashioned made with love.

Although the servers are great people. They are often understaffed. The first time I went here was with my child hood tennis coach upon coming back to Richmond.

I went in for the pho and bánh mì, and both delivered. The pho broth was the star--deep, rich flavor without being overly salty, and you can tell it wasn't rushed. The pork bánh mì had everything you want: a crusty roll, tender seasoned pork, crisp pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs that brought it all together. What really surprised me was how well they pull off the combination of neighborhood sports bar and authentic Vietnamese restaurant. It's casual, welcoming, and feels like one of those places locals are going to keep recommending to friends. If you're anywhere near Midlothian, put this on your list. The pho alone is worth the trip, and the bánh mì seals the deal.

Bartender was probably the busiest staff member, and he ran his bar efficiently, and with a smile. Overall the place just had a good, friendly vibe. If I have a critique, and I do, it's that the ranch served with the wings is pretty bad. I'm a bit of a ranch snob, and I didn't dip after the first wing. The brussel sprouts, however, were fantastic. Crispy without being burnt. Not too much Parmesan or balsamic glaze. The location isn't in my usual area, but I'll likely be back for a game, a beer from the absurd selection, but maybe I'll go blue cheese with my wings next time around...
