First things first I love the decor and love that you can see the pizza oven. We sat right by the oven to check it out up close. Staff friendly and attentive.
We started off with the mac & cheese bites that were so tasty! The pizza on the top is KOREAN BBQ (kogi bbq sauce, mozzarella blend, braised short rib, sweet drop peppers, scallions, arugula) and the pizza I ordered was THE REAL BROOKSY (garlic oil, mozzarella blend, lemon basil shrimp, roasted tomato, oregano, parsley). Everything was cooked to perfection oh my goodness! It did not disappoint. I was nervous about the lemon basil but that enhanced the flavors! So good!
Overall, this place is nice with both indoor & outdoor seating. Highly recommend if you are looking for enjoyable brick oven pizza in downtown Andover! I will be back!

Went tonight with my wife. Started with meatball app and Korean BBQ pizza. Meatballs we’re great, they had wipped ricotta. Also had chicken wings which were massive and tasty. They could have been cooked a bit more. Also tried the Brooksy and margarita pizzas. Both extraordinary. The dough is a bit chewy and crunchy at the same time. It makes a great pizza. Service from the beginning was great. Friendly staff as soon as you walk in. Well be back for the pepperoni and white sausage. RECOMMEND.

I’m leaving 4 stars but it’s really was a 3.5 on quality of food but there could be factors that affected this. One of the pizzas was clearly over baked on the side of burnt. The other two were decent although I found the crust closer to chewy rather than soft. We only ordered mushroom and they really need to work on quantity given the higher then normal price tag. We had take out not dine in but the atmosphere looked welcoming with a great vibe. The staff were friendly and I’m sure the service is good. I think this is probably a good place or at least could easily be. Respectfully I believe they could easily move from ok(good) to great if: 1. They work on their quality control. 2 reconsider their prices as they are at least 15-20% too high for pizza. I definitely wouldn’t do take out again, seriously I’m not a fan of the local chain pizza in town but I would have enjoyed their pizza more at half the price. If you are looking for a tavern small town feel for dine in, give them a try. if the pizza is overcooked send it back as I believe the owner would value your opinion.

The nachos were superb – layers of cheese on a tall pile of chips. We got the brisket on top as well, although the meat was more like a pot roast – still yummy. The garlic parmesan boneless wings were also really good. Our party loved the pizzas!! We got one gluten-free and they said it was the best gf pizza they’ve ever had. We’ll be back!

First time here. Don’t recommend. They were out of boneless chicken. The chicken wings were barely sauced and burnt. The pizza had no taste except for the meat. The prices are ridiculous for the food they serve. 16$ for a 10inch pizza and 15$ for 8 wings. It’s no wonder they serve wine and beer, so you can’t taste the food. The server came to do drinks get the order and serve the order but never came back to refill drinks. Mind you it’s not busy and still waited to have the orders taken.

This is our second time here and we’ll be back for many more visits. The pizzas are absolutely delicious and creative. The Korean BBQ pizza and truffle mushroom were both so good – I’d post a picture but there’s nothing left. The prices are fair for the quality and size of the pizza and the wine list is surprisingly good and fairly priced too.
These are flatbread pizzas in a wood fired oven. There’s going to be burnt spots in the dough. For the people complaining about the type of cheese on some of the pizzas, all of the ingredients are written in the description.
Give this place a shot. Have an open mind to try something unique. Support a local guy instead of a major chain. Be happy, eat pizza

Easily one of the BEST PIZZA places I’ve been to! Their Brooksy’s special pizza is so good that i can still feel it in my mouth as I’m writing the review! It is made with garlic oil, mozzarella blend, lemon basil shrimp, roasted tomato, oregano, and parsley. Never in my life did i imagine shrimp on pizza would taste this good! Loved the atmosphere and service as well. And oh, their golden ale draft beer was smooth and refreshing. Would def visit again!

I’m in agreement with another review. Food Star Rating is a 3.5 – Here is the breakdown. The restaurant itself is cute & cozy it’s narrow, so it appears small and might feel a little tight when it gets busy. The parking is okay. It’s on Main Street, but there’s a parking lot across the street. The menu is small but straightforward. We started with a Cesar salad and ordered the mushroom, cheese, pepperoni, and Korean BBQ. The Korean BBQ was strange – did not enjoy it, and the cheese they use doesn’t have the melty stringy texture I look forward to in a pizza. Our service was pleasant. My only complaint is that we did feel a bit rushed. We were a party of 7, and their restaurant is small and bank on a fast turn around but it’s not very nice especially where prices are in the higher side.

Good stuff!
The atmosphere was great. I got the Korean BBQ, my son got the plain cheese. Both pizzas were great. They were cooked great- exactly what you’d expect from a brick oven.
We’ll be back.

The former location of Bertucci’s in downtown Andover which we used to frequent, this was our first time here as Brooksy’s. We arrived around 3:30 p on a Saturday and there were a few diners. Our server was a lovely young lady and we started with the nachos which arrived very quickly. We also ordered a medium burger and a small margarita pizza with spinach. The nachos were crispy and toppings were generous. The only critique would be the chips at the bottom didn’t a lot of the toppings. The burger was perfectly cooked but has a strong char, a little stronger than we prefer but the curly fries that come with the burger were excellent. Not your regular thin curly fries, crispy and “meaty”. The pizza was piping hot with ample toppings and the crust was thin but held the toppings very well. We would have preferred a little more time to enjoy the nachos before the burger and pizza arrived. Service was attentive and friendly. We’ll be back to try some of their other menu items. Definitely get the fries!!
