EXCELLENT!! Went Christmas shopping with my husband & this was an wonderful surprise for him & me!! The place was very busy & apparently they were short. Our host/ waiter was working the front alone. He let us know up front it was just him. It might take some time for us to receive our service but he would take care of us & he did!! The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! IT WAS WORTH waiting patiently for!! Will definitely go there again when visiting the area!!

Fries is $1.5, I’m shocked, and it was so good!
Garlic bread and salad came with my order of pesto chicken pasta. The salad was fresh with the thousand island dressing. The chicken was a little dry but the creamy pesto sauce and pasta both were really good!
My friend ordered TUI TONGA pizza and it’s really good, the dough especially.
Will be back!

Don’t let the strip mall facade fool you, this is one of the best made from scratch, brick oven pizza’s I have ever had. Also, they have great dinner plates such as chicken fettuccine, which is what my wife ordered (no photo) and they’re able to make nearly any dinner plate into a kids portion, which allows for great selection for your child. We were provided excellent service and I would highly recommend The Brick Oven to anyone visiting the Charlottesville area.

Extremely understaffed. We saw 1 person, Jerry, greeting, taking orders, tending tables, answering phones, and cleaning up. The restaurant was full. Poor guy was stressed and sweating. He kept a pleasant manner and stayed attentive as much as he could. We appreciated his hard work. Eventually, 1 other person came out to clean off tables, but only 2 tables.
Our table had fries, lemon piccata, margherita pizza, Brick Oven pizza, and veggie calzone. Everything was delicious, except the margherita. It was not traditional and had way too much oregano. Couldn’t taste anything else. The dough was amazing, light and cooked just right in the brick oven. They used sliced sausage on their specialty, which tastes so much better than crumbled. The pasta was tender and sauce seasoned just right, not too sour. The fries were cooked perfectly and had a delicious season salt. We were offered a free dessert due to an error in our order. Our table split the zeppoli. It’s similar to a funnel cake. Amazing! Fried to perfection and drizzled in chocolate syrup and powdered sugar. Perfect ending to our lunch.
I recommend as long as you have the time. We were there for 2 hours. It was a Saturday on a holiday weekend, though. Would love to return when we are in town, but maybe pick a slower day of the week.

Haven’t visited in years, but felt like pizza and pasta so we stopped in. We had a lovely meal. The service was outstanding. Our server made suggestions, our food came out promptly, and our glasses were always full. My husband ordered the Brick Oven pizza and I ordered the lasagna. We split each and enjoyed both. The lasagna came with a side salad or soup and garlic bread. We definitely plan on returning in the near future.

I was the only guest when I arrived and I was greeted immediately. Got my choice of seats and the waiter was friendly. Ordered The Dad which was basically a pepperoni pizza with some extra cheeses. Pizza arrived very quickly and it was delicious. I almost forgot to take a picture. Place was filling up as I was leaving. Great pizza and the best I have had in Charlottesville. I will dine here again.

Some of the best pizza I’ve had in a hot minute. Service was fabulous and friendly. You are missing out if you haven’t had a slice. A friend went back the very next day.

Where to begin… i loved everything about this place. The service was IMPECCABLE. Jerry was so wonderful and very accommodating, and he made it a point to emphasize that. Hubby and I had half a Julia’s choice with half margarita. Two different sauce bases. And they were ok with that. And guys, we had a gluten free crust and it didn’t charge extra!! I’ve never experienced that before. And it was tasty. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back again.

My pizza was beautiful and tasted amazing; I was also happy for the gluten free crust option for my friend! I was especially impressed with the friendly service and the personal greeting from Dino, the owner. Quality place – thanks Brick Oven!!
