    Several frozen cocktails available
    Peyton W.

    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.

    Great pizza, the frozen pina colada is amazing omg!! The servers are friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Pizza with extra cheese & pep

    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!

    Margherita Pie Base
    Sadie W.

    Yum!! Nice casual place to grab pizza/beer/wine and sit outside. You order drinks at the bar and bring them with you to your table, then order food online and someone brings it out to you. We both got a glass of Cab which was fine, I'm sure beer is more up their alley. The Margherita pizza was good, but the Chai Spice Zeppole was by far my favorite part of the meal! It's basically just little dough bites coated in chai/sugar topping with a delicious lemon dipping sauce. Would highly recommend!

She is friendly and attentive, she was back by the table many times. There is a lively vibe here with great music playing. It can get loud, but you can still have a conversation. High ceilings, old building, and cool mural and decor don the inside. After we made our drink orders, we were deciding on salad or appetizers. The portions here are very large. I actually skipped a salad this time so I could enjoy more of the Grandma pizza! We added pancetta and mushrooms and it was so delicious. Crust was thick and crunchy and the flavor is top notch. The two of us shared the large pie, and we still took some to go. The menu changes, and we saw some new desserts on the menu. If you can leave room to try, they were highly recommended by Kellie. Definitely thinking of enjoying a pasta special next time too. This is the best pizza in the area. Take it from a born and bred Long Island girl who relocated to NC. There are the greats here, you just have to look. Benny's is definitely a great. 5 stars

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.
