We love this pizza place. Some amazing choices. We always eat the Buffalo chicken pizza. Great service, the staff is very friendly. The best wood fire pizza place in Montclair.
Some of the best pizza in the area! I've tried a bunch of pizzerias and Brick+Dough is one that I come back to often.They also have some of the best tasting garlic knots I've had in a long time.Highly recommend!
My chum and I staggered in here for lunch this past Saturday on one of the uglier, rainy days in recent memory. Attending estate sales can really whip up the appetite, as can frantically searching for a parking spot on Walnut Street when it's pouring and you don't have an umbrella. Anyway.The restaurant itself is very cavernous, which is not a term I use too often to describe business interiors. I feel like most of the time restaurants try to shove as many tables into their space as they possibly can, but this is almost the exact opposite situation. Definitely not a bad thing; it just took a little getting used to. From my vantage point it looked like they had another larger room off to the side for dining patrons so good for them in having the square acreage and just letting it be. As an aside, the hipster music was abundant - we recognized the falsetto voice from Justin Vernon of Bon Iver immediately. If you're not into that type of indie/folk rock, you've been warned.I ordered a margherita pie, and my chum got the pepperoni (along with a gynormous Caesar salad). We also swapped slices as a gesture of good will. I liked mine better, but her pepperonis were very tasty - they had a nice crisp, almost burnt/smoked quality to them that I liked. We were both solid fans but I thought the crust was a little too dominant; it almost went up to the halfway point of the slice. I had a very similar problem recently at Ava's in Kenilworth. It's good crust/dough to be sure, but I think the toppings should go further down toward the end of the slice. It was also a little overdone - this type of Neapolitan goodness should be on the crispier side on the edges in my opinion, but there were several bites that were completely charred (my chum agreed, and it was her only complaint). That being said, the cheese and sauce were very, very good. All the more reason to spread the love around the entire pie.The service was pretty good. I don't recall impatiently waiting for anything, and we never ran out of water. The only mild issue I had was that the menu price for the margherita was $17 (and the waitress announced that price before giving me my portion of the bill) and I was charged $18. Not a huge deal and I didn't mention it at the time, but that was either an error on her part, or an unmentioned upcharge for credit card usage. Just keep it in mind and look at your bill carefully. At $17 or $18, I think that's pretty on par for the area. You're basically paying an extra few dollars to eat in Montclair, which has always been the case.I'd definitely come back. There are other equivalent options in the area for the same type of pizza but I really liked the atmosphere and spaciousness of this place. I'm neutral on Bon Iver.
One of the best pizza in NJ. Pie is not too big, you can try few flavors by ordering multiple pies. Mushroom pizza that I ordered by mistake was unexpectedly good, it doesn’t have tomato sauce, is a white pizza. But the cheese were light and really yummy. NY style was also good. I don’t usually eat crust, but here I ate it because it’s so good.
I’d been wanting to try this place for a while, and boy am I glad I did. My girlfriend & I ordered the vodka pie & the eggplant pie (all pies are 12” personal sized). Service was super fast, the manager even brought out some homemade garlic knots to try before the pizzas came out! Quality of the pizza was top notch. The dough was airy & light, the toppings were not too overpowering, and the undercarriage was cooked to perfection. Will most definitely be coming back to enjoy some of their other pizza concoctions.
Great experience! The food was amazing!-can’t wait to go again! The Caesar salad was so fresh, the pizza was delicious, and the ice cream was a bonus! I went with a friend who has a gluten allergy and we ordered a gluten free pie- it was so good! I don’t know how they do it but it didn’t even taste gluten free! And to top it off the decor is so cool!
I used to enjoy the pizzas, but they seem different lately. My favorites were the eggplant parm and crispy pepperoni. But I've noticed over the past two or three months that there's hardly any sauce on them. It's mostly cheese and toppings, which is unfortunate because their sauce is delicious. The small amount of sauce that's actually there is so minimal that I can't taste it and it changes the overall taste of the pizza.
This place is great. Posting pictures of the pizzas Ive gotten over the last few years. Its always spot on. Great addition to the area. Very excited to do indoor dining now that they’ve opened it up. Otherwise its always a good time to grab a pizza and walk across to the street to Montclair Brewing Co. I’ve recommended Brick and Dough to friends in the area and they all agree the pizza is awesome and worth coming back for.The owner is the nicest guy. Theres some reviews calling him rude. I have no idea what they are talking about. After many positive experiences with him its safe to give him and the rest of his staff the benefit of the doubt and assume those people are the problem.
Scouting for the Pizza Hunters App, this place was highly recommended. The Pizza was outstanding especially the crust. The sauce was good, needed more, cheese was good needed more. In comparing to other Neopolitan Pizza across the state, felt it could have used more ingredients based upon the price point of the Pizza. The Crust for sure is the superstar at Brick and Dough. Amazing that the owner has only been a Pizziolo for 3 years. Looking for great things from this Pizzeria. Note: Parking can be a challenge when visiting. Great Job..
NOT KID FRIENDLY! Wanted to make sure if anyone thought that they could bring their kids here to have pizza that this place is NOT kid friendly and they make it clear to you when you are there. We were the only people dining and told us to make sure we kept the kids down incase someone else came in to eat...Besides the fact that what my husband ordered was WELL done. We will not be going back here as I wouldn't be going out on a date night with my husband to eat only pizza.
