The Brick Oven Bistro is a local, family-owned restaurant specializing in making fresh brick oven pizzas, calzones, sandwiches, wings, appetizers, soups, salads, desserts and more. The service was fabulous, second to none. ( my apologies to our pretty and talented server with the Japanese name that I can't remember) she definitely went over and above to make everything special even when my 91 year old friend under tipped her. In this casual ambiance setting by the fireside Rick had the delicious roast beef sandwich, I had a calzone and my friend had a personal pizza. All were exceptional. They also have an amazing, locally sourced gluten-free pizza crust--and other GF options available. read more

My boyfriend and I were in town to go to Cedar Point and we were really craving pizza. Whenever we travel we like to try someplace new to us. Brick Oven Bistro didn't open until 4pm and we were craving lunch/dinner around 230 so we killed time until they opened. So worth it!!!! I ordered the Italian stallion personal pizza and my boyfriend got a build your own calzone. DELICIOUS. I will be thinking about that pizza every day until I go back! The size was perfect for me to have a midnight snack at the hotel later on. Service was friendly. We can't wait to go back! read more

We had a really lovely time at the brick oven bistro for dinner tonight! We came around 6:30 and it wasn't too busy so we were able to be seated right away. Our server, Dwayne, was so fun and made our meal even better by his quick quit And personable nature. I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza without onions or banana peppers and my nephew ordered the Italian stallion. My pizza was so delicious! I love the three cheeses that they use for all of their pizzas, *cue the cheese stretching reel*. It was the perfect balance of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing, I was originally concerned that the ranch dressing would be too overpowering, but it was phenomenal. I wish there would've been a little bit more chicken, but overall the pizza was great! My nephew also really loved his Italian stallion And we ended up finishing both of our pizzas! We left stuffed!! read more

Whilst traveling to Sandusky I was able to discover this location. I discovered online that they had vegan cheese options. When traveling often it is hard to find vegan options last minute at night. The staff were very friendly and accommodating the chef noted that they use a soy based butter for many of their pizzas and he asked if I would like it. I have to say that there was ample parking around the establishment with handicap accessible parking immediately out front. I really enjoyed the vegan calzone however the size for the personal was extremely small and I expected something slightly larger. Overall I'll definitely check out this location again however I wish they offered plant-based/vegan meat to place in some of their dishes. read more

We were visiting from the Kansas City area, where we have amazing dining options. We had not been overly impressed with the food we had found in the Sandusky area in the four days that we had been there and chose this place on our last day there based on reviews. The Brick Oven Bistro did not disappoint! They don't use the word in any of their marketing or menu, but the pizzas here can absolutely be described as "artisanal"! The dough is freshly made not frozen, the ingredients are fresh, it was simply amazing pizza! We also got a calzone and it was every bit as good and fresh as the pizza. Because everything is made fresh, it takes a little extra time, but it is well worth the wait! If you're in the Sandusky area, I can't recommend this place enough. The interior is clean, but not overly impressive. The food on the other hand...fantastic! read more

We picked this place due to some of the amazing reviews we read and it still exceeded our expectations. This restaurant is only a few minutes down the road from Cedar Point and has plenty of parking. We got there at about 6:30, were seated right away, and had our waiter at the table less than a minute later. They have an extensive beer and wine menu but since we were driving home after, we stuck to water. With 2 adults and 2 teens, we ordered 2 large pizzas to split. The kids had a large cheese and my husband and I had the meatball. So delicious. The sauce was really good and the basil on our pizza was a nice touch. Our server, Durond, was attentive, friendly, and a great conversationalist, despite being a Cleveland Browns fan (Go Steelers!) I'd recommend checking this place out. Whether you are local or just visiting, it has a nice ambiance, delicious food, and friendly people. read more

We're travelers exploring America with our kids. We came to Sandusky Ohio to visit a friend. She gave us recommendations to come here, she said this was the best pizza place & she was right !! The crust of the pizza is amazing and they have stuff I'd never put on a pizza but it works ! We got The Loaded Baked Potato & also the Italian Beef one. Thankfully I ordered a large pizza, everyone ate my loaded potato one. Sheesh lol The service was nice. She kept filling up our drink order and would tell us when our pizzas will be ready. We also ordered appetizers, stuffed mushrooms, which were okay but also got mozzarella sticks, we loved. Great cheese pull. In fact we loved it sooo much that for my son's birthday he wanted here and on the way, Yelp said they're closed on Tuesday. We were so sad because we ended up somewhere not as good. Oh Danny Boy, the pipes. We were leaving the next day for West Virginia. Some of the best dough we've had in 21 states. read more

Pizza place inside of an old Howard Johnson's. They did a nice job maintaining it. Service was friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure what wine I wanted and I was able to sample two in cut schnapps glasses. We started with the bruschetta that was mostly cheese bread. Barely any basil. My husband and I split the he Caesar and my son had the side Caesar salad. We asked for both with dressing on the side. Both arrived dressed and with more on the side. That is a first. The pizza was ok. My husband and I shared the Greek. We changed out the sauce and which wasn't a problem. My son got the make your own with basil's and garlic. Again very little basil. Overall, good family establishment with friendly service and ok pizza. read more

Food was delicious! My kids loved seeing the chef tossing the pizza. The service was great. We loved it. Thank you!

The pizza is always the best! Our server Christa was very attentive and amazing. The vibes were it.

I visited Brick Oven Bistro on my own a few weeks ago and the staff and other patrons were very friendly and helpful. My server answered all of my questions and shared her favorite appetizers and pizzas since it my first time eating there. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms which were good but a little under seasoned and the Curry Shrimp pizza which was the weekly special and it was delicious! I'll definitely visit Brick Oven Bistro the next time I'm in Sandusky and I look forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

I give this place 4 stars for their service. When I called in the order the person taking it was insightful and knowledgeable with my gluten free request and pleasant. It was a busy night for them so my pizza was done in 30 min. I ordered the pear gorgonzola pizza on gluten free with no walnuts and arugula. I found it was over powered with onion so the next time I would order non or light onion. Other than that it was tasty. One size for gluten free and total was $16 read more

We stopped here for dinner after a day at Cedar Point Shores. It was delicious! My husband and I chose a pizza with eggplant as a main topping. Kiddo got a calzone and had no complaints!

Not sure how this place is a 4.6. Service was horrible. Had to stop server 4 different times to either order or get a drink. Some of us ordered pasta and the salads came after the pasta only after reminding our server. The cauliflower pizza was not good. Lastly, could not get check paid because our server was too busy on the phone taking takeout orders. read more

After a long flight from OKC to Cleveland, pizza sounded quite delicious so Brick Oven Bistro was the winner. I liked how many options there were on the menu and of course the brick oven part. No other way of cooking a pizza is like a brick oven. Their personal size pizzas are quite large but we were both so hungry we finished them. I definitely could have used more Gorgonzola on my pizza but was still good. read more

What a find! We had originally planned to go to a different restaurant that evening, but when that one was unexpectedly closed, Yelp came through for us with suggesting Brick Oven Bistro. The place is fairly unassuming at the exterior as well as inside, but don't let that fool you. Our Misto salad, Italian stallion calzone, and Italian beef calzone were all fantastic. You can order the calzones in a smaller, entree for one person size, and that worked well for us. My boyfriend finished his and I took a quarter of mine home. Long list of beers on tap and canned, with a good variety of hops, sours, ciders, etc. We really liked our raspberry fruited sour. Service was on point as well. I knew immediately that I was going to need more marinara sauce when they brought the entree, which was brought promptly. At the end of the meal our waitress asked me if I wanted to take some extra home in my to go box, which was appreciated and very nice. read more

Service was good but the waitress was too much over the top. Anyway, pear Gorgonzola Pizza. I've ordered this pizza several times and it has been delicious. This last time, there weren't any walnuts on it and where was the gorgonzola cheese (if there was some, I couldn't see it or taste it)? It's iffy to me whether or not I give them another shot. Seems they have cut down their expense by taking away the walnuts and cheese. If that's the case, I won't be back. Disappointed. read more

First, it's a cute place and the prices are fair. My pizza was amazing (pear and Gorgonzola), but my husband's was meh. I recommend ordering off of their selections, and not going rogue, like my hubby. Great beer selection! The cannolis were delicious, too. The one star lost is because we waited 30 minutes to order, and our waitress, who was very apologetic, accidentally got my crust order wrong. However, she came over and apologized a lot, as did the owner. I will say, while they didn't keep the up charge on my bill, I was a bit surprised they didn't give me a discount on my pizza with the long wait to order and the mistake. With that being said, it was still a delicious meal with nice staff. I will definitely recommend this place to others. The crust, while not gluten free, was heavenly. read more

First time here. Sat at the bar and did some laptop work then ordered the small house salad a personal pizza with fresh basil mushrooms and ground sausage. Everything was very good. ***** to Alex the bartender. Friendly but professional. He loves the food here and it shows ***** For the small house salad with Betty's dressing. (I guess Betty's is a local thing. They make theirs in house here and it was great) ***. I'm kind of knit-picking here. The pizza was very good but the toppings were a little dried out especially the mushrooms. They oil the crust which makes it very crispy but it was a bit over oiled for me. Overall. I'll be back. Solid place good food great service and affordable. read more

My family and I came here for dinner while in town for the local half Ironman triathlon that brings over a thousand people (maybe more) each year. Even though it was crowded, we were seated right away, and our food was fantastic! We each got a different calzone, and they were all delicious and baked very well in their very legit pizza oven. We'll be back next year! read more

This is the best pizza i have ever had in my life. Eggplant pizza? Who would have thought? Delightful! The crust alone is the best anywhere. Smores calzone? Oh my goodness. Just a little piece of dough heaven right there. The service was perfection. Everyone was so nice. The first time I have ever been thanked for visiting a restaurant by everyone in the place.

Meh. I'm surprised at the high ratings really. The service was amazing. The restaurant clean. Service was fast. The pizza was really thin crust. I guess I'm just used to New Haven and New York style pizza. I guess it's good for the area. It thought 20$ was really expensive for what was really more like a small/medium pizza. I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Went there tonight with my two boys. We were offered a table that was given to someone else. We waited and passed up by another bigger family who came in after us. Then we were sat in the bar area. Waited over an hour for food and got to hear all about a male worker's love life with cussing and female anatomy. It was very disappointing as had we been sat in a different area where there was less chatter about town gossip and people getting service. The bartender tried to be sweet but honestly I wish we pick chik fila. It would have been cheaper, gotten food faster, and saved the kids from an adult situation they didn't need to hear. read more

I'm always up for pizza. Especially if it's Brick Oven style. I found this on Yelp and asked my Mr if he can stopped by and order for carry out since I am not comfortable dining out yet (COVID-19). He walked in and staff was ready to help and make suggestions. But I already know what I wanted. I got the the Margherita Pizza and my Mr got the Inferno Pizza (jalapeño, banana peppers, spicy red sauce, ham and drizzled with sriracha. You can order a small or medium size at a reasonable price. I got the small for only 11.00 and my Mr was 12.00. When he came home, my mouth was watering! The pizza was everything I thought it would be. Seasoned well, cheese was tasty and crust was thin and crispy. Perfect for pizza night. Glad I found this place and highly recommend it! read more
