    First time checking out the Wilmington location. Had previously visited the one in Raleigh. Located downtown Wilmington, just a short walk from Hidden Grounds (iykyk). Such a fun atmosphere with lots of carousel horses hanging from the ceiling. Plenty of indoor sating with an expansive outdoor patio. Dog friendly outside, plenty of shade, extra large umbrellas, adk chairs if you want some sun, water cooler and walk up garage bar. Heaters for the colder months. Tried a cold IPA which was a collab with another brewery. Blueberry mule was a vibrant purple. Both tasty! Will be back for drinks and lunch during football season with the pups. Friendly, helpful staff!

    This place has it all, incredible food, great energy, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Every dish is packed with flavor, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the menu. Whether you're grabbing dinner with friends or celebrating something special, the vibe is always upbeat and enjoyable. It's easily one of those restaurants you end up recommending to everyone you know.

    Several frozen cocktails available

    I'm so sad that our Ponysaurus in Raleigh isn't like this place. It's a really cool spot! The exterior is a house so it's got a unique vibe to begin with. The interior is fun and reminds me of a moody old diner - think Nighthawks. The beer selection is great and they also have some great frozen cocktail selections too. I'm a huge sucker for frozen cocktails, especially when it's hot out, so I was very pleased. My friend and I ordered several piña coladas, delicious and refreshing! I was also super impressed with their outdoor seating area. There was lots of shade and a great selection of spots to sit at. The landscaping they had in that area was also nice and really added to the ambiance. It's a really great spot to check out on a nice day! Also all the staff we encountered were super nice and very attentive. All around great experience. I'll definitely be back again!

    My friends and I went here not long after they opened on a Saturday. It was surprisingly empty. There's plenty of seating outside and downstairs, plus an upstairs area when it's open. You can order from a QR code at the table, and they just started offering in person service, which we prefer. The waitress was nice and good about checking in. My Italian sandwich was good, a little messy. Curly fries were honestly the best part! I ordered a beer flight. To be honest, I've always found Ponysaurus' beer a little average. Unfortunately, my friend found a hair in burger when it came. Yuck! They took it away and offered to remake it (she declined given the amount of other food we had), but I'd have thought a manager would've comped an appetizer.

    There are so many breweries to choose from in the area but the name alone pulled me in Luckily, the beers were fantastic! In a world were the selection at many breweries, in my opinion, has run to too many hazy IPA's, Ponysaurus has an amazing selection. I got the flight of four and honestly couldn't pick a favorite.

    Ponysaurus Brewing is a Pizzeria and Beer Garden located in downtown Wilmington. It's a great spot offering 24 taps featuring their craft beers, a full bar, and a diverse menu that includes pizzas, sandwiches, burgers, and brunch options on weekends. The venue is pet-friendly, has outdoor seating in the front and back of the venue. The outdoor seating in the back is very spacious and has a beautiful outdoor fireplace. We visited just as they were finishing up the holiday decorating, it was super fun and festive. I will say the set up is a little funky in that the bar and food are completely separate as far as paying. You order your drinks, pay for them or keep an open tab and then have to use the QR code to view the menu / pay for your food. They have a $5 flatbread special on Thursdays which is a great deal! I got the blistered tomato and pesto flatbread, it was super flavorful and enough to leave you full. They have additional locations in Raleigh and Durham that I can't wait to check out!

    Monday night review do not heed! They have trivia, wasn't feeling it. Wanted to drink and chat. Plenty to drink nobody to chat. Looks like it is a good spot though. 1) Nice beer garden and dog friendly. 2) Big ass bar with lots of room. 3) I got a $12/4 beer taster and all were 4/5 stars.

    I really like this place and struggled between 4 and 5 stars. Here is the breakdown for this place. Drinks - 5 Stars Known for their beers on tap. Also have a full bar with cocktails and even about a half dozen frozen adult slushies. Very large bar area with plenty of seating. You have to order drinks at the bar, even if you are seated elsewhere. Food - 4 1/2 Stars Pizzas are the primary item showcased on the menu. Several specialty pizzas on the menu. Build your own as well. We did order a pizza and it was pretty damn good. All pizzas are 14" and to they appear to me to be Neapolitan style. Other food items to select from as well, including wings, sandwiches, salads, and bar type snacks. Ambiance & Location - 4 Stars Location is in downtown, just a block and a half from Front Street. Parking is street or deck, no private parking. Large outdoor area in the front. Seating inside has a large bar area and booths. First level and upstairs seating available. Very nicely decorated. Kid friendly, to a degree. They have signs posted to keep your kids under control. Dog friendly outside. Boomer Alert I say this with all due respect, but I would not recommend this place to my boomer mother. She would flip out. Why? - All drinks must be ordered at the bar, including non-alchohic drinks. Water is the only exception. - There are no menus. You scan the QR code at the bar stool or the booth to not only see the food menu, but to also order the food. You pay for the food in advance using the app. Someone then brings the food out when it is ready. I don't have an issue with this. To me ordering and paying in the app is very efficient. - You are expected to bus your own table. They even have specific bins to place glassware, plates and utensils. My only minor issue with Ponysaurus is having to go to the bar for a Coke. I get having to go to the bar for beer, but why not have a fountain station for Cokes and tea? Just my 2 cents.

    Folks, I left a review previously for this place. I really need to reiterate this sentiment. I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Great beer (and other beverages), great food, amazing vibe. Streamlined happy service! Post pandemic era, stay well-fed, well-treated AND clean with #QRCode #Untappd #pizzalover

    Brewery in downtown Wilmington. Super cute location go to the bar to order your drinks and there's a QR code to scan for food, food is delivered right to your table. It's Easy!! Food was delicious! Liked our beer flight, they have a choose 4 or 5 option. Waitstaff and everyone we came across was super friendly and helpful. My only complaint was the white pizza's crust was kinda of soggy. I'm not sure if it's because the liquid in the ricotta or what just wanted to give you feedback! Great business model & I'll be back!

    What a cool vibe. Go to the bar and order for drinks or sir at a table and scan and your food will be out. Look at the pics and come and see Nick in human form or your friendly dinosaur outfit. Make it work people!

    It was a quiet, rainy, and chill Sunday. The pizza was good the knots were hot, and the beer was cold. I'd recommend the "Don't Be Mean."

    The bars stools are backless and not suitable for big bottom girls, lol. If they have gotten a handle on the lighting in the booths downstairs, the food and atmosphere are great. I'm not sure what the lighting is like upstairs. Sitting outdoors with…

They also have a location near UNC Wilmington, but visited this strip mall location on Market Street since it was closer to us and reviews seemed comparable. There are several tables inside for dining in, but it's mainly a take out/delivery type of place as the set up is very utilitarian and functional without much atmosphere. That being said, the service at the counter when ordering and also when receiving food at the table was kind and friendly. We went with an order of garlic cheese bread and a large 18 inch cheese pizza. I have no basis of comparison with regards to quality or price compared to other places in the Wilmington area, but $24 for a simple pizza without toppings seemed a bit expensive. Both items were decent, but wouldn't compete with the quality of pizza ingredients I'm used to in the NJ/NY/PA area. The pizza was cooked well with a great undercarriage, albeit a bit oily, but the cheese, sauce, and crust didn't compare to the great pizza I'm spoiled with back home. That said, nothing was particularly bad, so grading on a regional curve, I'd rate Brooklyn Pizza Company a 3.5/5, which I'm happy to round up since all the employees were friendly, and it was a decent dinner overall.

Pretty awesome selection of pizzas and Italian dishes, as well as other munchies you don't see at many other pizza joints that I've seen, such as the various stuffed rolls. Love that they have Sicilian pizza, my favorite! And you can get pizza by the slice which is always good in a pinch! Affordable prices, good portions, and reasonable wait times... as in, not at all any longer than necessary for your food to be made fresh and ready for you to enjoy in a timely manner! With my order this evening, I did try to place it online but for some reason the final send through button wouldn't not let me push it to complete my order. Not at all a big deal to me, as I could call if I wanted but also I was only a couple of miles away so I just went in. I only mentioned this to the guy working the counter in case they needed to know if there was a problem with their website. I sat behind the window where you can watch them make pizza. All the staff looked happy like they enjoyed their jobs and each other which was sweet. My order was ready promptly (Eggplant Parm) and for whatever reason, they decided to throw me in some cannolis as a treat! My meal hit the spot, and the cannolis are delicious! I just want to say thank you for the extra treat, it wasn't necessary or expected but it was very kind and much enjoyed! Thank you BPC for always being a solid place to enjoy a meal. The owners should be proud of their staff for always holding it down in all of the ways of kind, enjoyable, and efficient. Much love!
