    Pizza!!!
    Ana F.

    Really loved the cheesiness of this pizza and overall enjoyed our pizza pie although the sausage was too intense. I felt like the fennel seeds overpowered all other ingredients. Even the pineapple itself. I would come back to eat here again and try their other foods and cookies. Their cookies looked soft and very tempting!

    Got the 6" BBQ chicken pizza. It was good with a decent amount of chicken. It was a little small for having a $13 price tag. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped by on a week night, so there was plenty of tables open.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bar was the only place that was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Heard it gets packed and loud on a Saturday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff were nice and pizza was ready in less than 10 minutes.

    I loved the texture of these pizzas. They're thin crust on hand-rolled dough and cooked in a wood-fire (?) oven. My son devoured his pizza. I savored and loved every bite of my mushroom pizza - had I not been full, I'd have ordered the veggie (touted as their most popular pizza). Instead, I had the chopped Italian salad with basalmic dressing. You can see that it is generously served. The flavors were well-balanced and super tasty. This place is a keeper and I wound come back and try their calzones. It took about 15 mins for us to get our order because they are made to order - a good thing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is chill and appears to be managed by a group of nice guys who are responsive and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got our order "for here" and sat in their seating area which was very quaint. We faced a display of plants that are grown with "grow lights."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd come back if in the area again.

    Arrived in downtown riverside area late and craving for pizza. Looked up yelp and found this place which is closing late at 11pm. Ordered a pepperoni pizza, size and taste okay, but a bit salty.

    $20 peproni pizza 12"

    I really wanted to enjoy this spot since it's located in the Food Lab, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the price point. The Service Even with three employees behind the counter, the service was quite slow. It took over 15 minutes just to have my order processed. After ordering, it was another 15-20 minute wait for the pizza to be prepared. For a quick-service environment, the pace felt a bit off. The Food I ordered a simple 12" pepperoni pizza ($20). I usually have high expectations for oven-baked pizzas, but this one missed the mark. * Quality: The pizza was incredibly greasy--easily the greasiest I've had all year. * Value: At $20 for a 12", the quality just didn't justify the cost.

    At home Mushroom Brie slice and Ron Swanson slice! Delicious!
    Greg L.

    First time at Bricks and Birch and thought of taking it home for that perfect late Saturday night snack! For sure ended up being exactly that. Although before taking it home I had to sneak a piece of the crust before taking it home and all I can say is YES!!! It is fire wood baked deliciousness!! Couldn't decide veggies or meat so the best of both! The Mushroom Brie and the Ron Swanson and Lee me tell you both were absolutely amazing the crust was crispy and chewy and soft the ingredients fresh and savory. Have to go back and see what's next!

    The pizzas here are my favorite. The service is excellent. There is a kid that works here, his name is William I believe. He's always so helpful. Great recommendations from him. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always feel welcomed here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Gluten free bbq chicken pizza with vegan cheese
    Alex A.

    The owner wants to edit the post and say I'm lying but the pictures are clear that the pizza was undercooked. The cheese is raw. Based on all her comments on reviews she makes excuses and has no accountability for the low quality food her restaurant puts out. Yelp doesn't lie. There's a reason your rating has plummeted.

    Orlando Z.

    Very good service! The food was good and looked AMAZING! The spicy buffalo pizza looked very scrumptious and appetizing. Sadly our order was made wrong, BUT they made up for it and gave very excellent customer service. We are amazed and will definetly come again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's hard to find tables, especially with the Mission Inn festival, but it's not their fault, very comfortable area and environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Been to the food lab many times and have wanted to always try Bricks and Birch, but there has always been a line. Finally tried it and almost wish I didn't. Ordered a large pepperoni pizza($20) which is really more like a Medium(6 slices), and man it was really soggy. The grease was just puddling on the top. Was very salty, that one slice is already making my stomach hurt as I write this. Should really be one star but we'll give them 2 for the location and service; inside the location because * *What's up with the business owner? Responds to comments very sarcastically. Not a good look for the business, instead of properly addressing the issues, that many people seem to have.

    If you don't take orders after 10:00 p.m., then you're only open till 10:00 p.m.... don't say you're open till 11:00 p.m.

We ordered the sausage and peppers, the classic Margherita, and the green goddess salad. So tasty! Every bite was so flavorful. We would def go back just for the salad and the sausage/pepper pizza but we're looking forward to try other items on the menu!

    We're not usually the type to leave negative reviews, but after our experience yesterday, we felt…read moreit was important to share. We first visited on Valentine's Day in February and had an excellent experience. The pizzas were delicious, we were seated without a reservation, and we left excited to come back. Yesterday, we decided to bring a few friends with us because we had spoken so highly of the restaurant. We arrived a little after 1:00 p.m. on a Sunday, and the restaurant was fairly empty with only a handful of tables occupied. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was friendly throughout the meal. Each couple ordered pizzas along with appetizers and drinks. We ordered the Italian salad but were accidentally brought the Green Goddess instead. It was a harmless mistake, and since we had enjoyed that salad during our previous visit, we happily kept it. Our friends received their pizzas, and we assumed ours would follow shortly. Thirty minutes passed, and by then our friends were nearly finished eating. Meanwhile, we noticed several tables that had arrived after us receiving their food before we did. We asked our waitress to check on our order. She went back to the kitchen and returned, explaining that our pizza had apparently been forgotten and was only then being made. She assured us it would take no more than 10 minutes. Fifteen more minutes passed, and our pizza still hadn't arrived. Since we had a clear view of the kitchen, it didn't appear there was any urgency to get our order out. At that point, after waiting nearly an hour since placing our order, we had to cancel it because we had other plans and couldn't stay any longer. Our waitress apologized and removed the pizza from our bill, but that was the only resolution offered. While we appreciated her kindness, we left the restaurant disappointed and still hungry. Mistakes happen, and forgetting an order is understandable from time to time. What was most disappointing was how the situation was handled. After waiting an hour for a forgotten order, we had hoped for a more meaningful effort to make things right beyond simply removing the item we never received. It's unfortunate because we genuinely loved this restaurant after our first visit and were excited to introduce it to our friends. Thankfully, our friends enjoyed their meals, but this experience left us hesitant to return. Great pizza is important, but great service and how a restaurant responds when things go wrong are what keep customers coming back.

Ambiance is not the best, as the interior of the restaurant can feel dated--the art does not help--and the booths that comprise the bulk of the seating is private (which I love) but always dirty. Despite the service and ambiance leaving something to be desired, the lunch is great option in the downtown area. I do no recommend the breakfast--the potatoes lack flavor and many items are better made at home, imo. My go-to lunch options Grilled Smokey without onions- a fancy grilled cheese w tomato Tomato soup pairs very well with the grilled cheese Grill Smokey with bacon- solid but sometimes I don't want bacon/meat Tuna melt- so good and I tend to not like celery Black bean soup- solid Upgrade to the pesto pasta salad OR the loaded potato salad Don't recommend the pastrami sandwich-the meat was lowkey gross Baked good/desserts Princess Cake- I'm royalty and this cake hits the right notes and spots Sticky buns- get it Cinnamon bun- get it Cookies (molasses)- yummy and good texture Bagels- great quality bagels to add to a meal Baked breads (when in stock)- love fresh bread and recommend the sourdough

Employees have been friendly each time and they bring out food to you on the patio. Unfortunately the location is increasingly a problem at least while sitting outside. Lots of homeless people around some on drugs and some unstable. Last time I was there a homeless man threw an orange at someone who was eating next to me for no reason at all. It's not the first time something happens that feels unsafe and although there's not much the restaurant can do about it it does affect the ambience

    This is a solid, upscale coffee shop in Downtown Riverside. I've been to their other locations as…read morewell, but mostly visit Bakehouse and Downtown. As far as options go, I think there's a decent selection of more unique syrups for coffees. They do change it up throughout the year. The drinks here are definitely more of a premium price point, but I think they're generally good. On this particular trip, I wanted to try their new syrup flavor (it was some form of orange zest, or something similar?), but noticed my latte had no real flavor in it after a few sips. Upon looking at the receipt, the person who took my order just gave me a regular cafe latte and didn't add the syrup I requested. The coffee was fine, but I would have liked trying something new. I have gotten several of their food options before, and I think that some of them are well-priced for the portion and some can be more on the expensive side. I think the avocado toast was pretty robust and was a good value. The steak and eggs are somewhat hit or miss, and I have had it multiple times. The cut of the meat can be chewy at times, and then also more lean and tender other times. Sometimes it comes with large pieces of chewy fat, which isn't quite to my taste. The sandwich options generally are a good value. I do kind of wish they switched up their menu a bit more often, since this current menu is rather basic and they have had more interesting food options before. Overall, a decent choice for a more premium coffee, tea, and food for the Downtown/UCR area of Riverside. Service is okay, and I have had somewhat mixed experiences with that. The employees generally seem pleasant and they're nice, but I have gotten incorrect orders at least a couple of times. During this particular visit, in which the photos are from, I had to ask two different people to get extra napkins. Our actual server was the first to acknowledge, then possibly forgot and didn't come back.
