I've only had the pizza here and have ordered it twice now. The pizza is just okay. For anywhere outside of the immediate NYC metro area, it'd be pretty good pizza. But since we're talking about Hoboken where there seem to be pizza places on every other block, you better be pretty darn good if you want to stay in business. Especially with the location they chose, they've got Napoli's just a couple of doors down and Johnny Pepperoni's a couple of blocks away.
Let's start with the good. They delivered our pizza on Super Bowl Sunday within 30 minutes of ordering. Maybe this is because they're new but it's still pretty amazing that they were able to do this.
We got a margherita and a sausage+garlic. They were both pretty good but the crust was just too chewy and not crispy enough. I thought having the nice crispy crust was why you have a brick oven!
We ordered again a week later and the crust was the same, so the soft, chewy crust was not a fluke.
Crisp up your crust and maybe I'll reconsider but until then, I'm sticking with Napoli's. Or you could try reopening your business to fill a restaurant need that isn't completely saturated in Hoboken… 😉
One random night we had a pizza from here and really enjoyed it.
Decor: Our order was carry-out so I only had a very quick glimpse of the inside but it looks pretty nice with a cool "pizza parlor" feel to it.
Bathroom: Didn't stay long enough to necessitate a bathroom run.
Staff: Very brief interaction as I paid for my pizza, but both guys were cool. Also, they made the pizza VERY fast!
Food: The pizza is good and is on par with how Hoboken seems to do pizza (thin, pie sliced, semi-sparse toppings, not a lot of cheese at all). That is to say that it certainly is NOT New York-style pizza but is enjoyable in it's own right.
Value: Again, on par with the other places around.
Next time we are looking for a pizza we will return here. They don't really separate themselves from the rest of the pack with the food but the service definitely does (that is to say that we tried it b/c of a HORRIBLE experience at Napoi's the time before, and they have now won our business in the future).
We went to The Brick for a double date with a couple that was newly engaged. We ordered the Margharita Pizza (yum), Crispy Calamari, Caprese Bruschetta, and Shrooms (stuffed mushrooms) for the four of us to share.
The pizza was thin and the crust was crunchy, just how I like it. The ingredients tasted fresh and everything that came out of The Brick's kitchen to our table that night was delicious.
To top it off, our server was phenomenal. I wish I could remember his name so I could give him a shout out here but he made our double date experience a lot of fun. We enjoyed his service and attentiveness to our table.
Oh and this place is BYOB (like a lot of places in Hoboken).
Pizza-only review.
The Brick is a newly-renovated pizzeria at the former location of Molfetta. What was once pretty much a slice joint, is now a nicer, sit down BYOB pizzeria, nicely furnished with about ten tables and a pleasant decor all around. The construction is a major improvement.
I had a margarita pizza, which I thought was decent. They are getting a good char at the bottom of the pie, yet the crust/dough was a bit flat in taste. The fresh mozzerella and tomato sauce were good, but still, the sauce needs something, maybe roasted garlic or more oregano. Good but could be better.
The staff I encountered were pleasant and courteous. I wish them well in this competitive market. In addition to pizza, they have a variety of entrees and sandwiches available.
The brick isn't horrible. It is a lot better than Molfetta that was their before, which was terrible. I don't know if it's the same owners or not but the quality has gone way up.
It is basically a Napoli's type lay out. I imagine it's tough with Napoli's next door, which is why I am surprised they kept the pizza theme being one door down. I can't comment on anything but pizza from here however.
I usually swing by sometimes for lunch when the stroller mafia has taken over Napolis. They have similar deals, 2 regular slices and a soda for $5 and 2 specialty slices and a soda for $7 (plus tax on both).
Their regular slice is pretty decent, nothing amazing but pretty good average plain slice. No complaints there, they are usually a good size too. Bigger than Napolis give you when you get a regular slice. Their buffalo slice however is outstanding! This is really the winner here, if they are out of that is usually when I switch to regular slices. Really though, try their buffalo slice it is really good and very, very hearty. You will be full!
Overall not bad, and A-OK with me.
I am on my third day of dying with food poisoning and the last thing I ate was a chicken parm dinner from this place. Half way into eating the meal I felt my stomach kind of turning but it wasn't until the next morning that my first vomit session occurred. The chicken parm looked good and tasted decent, so I would of had no way of knowing.
I'm not sure if this was just a freak occurrence on Bricks part but every since Tuesday AM I have been violently sick and have not had any relief since. Ended up going to urgent care and the doctor agreed that my symptoms aligned with food poisoning. Safe to say I will never come back here again. As for the rest of you, the choice is yours. Being this sick is not fun, choose wisely.
This was by far the WORST Eggplant Parm I have ever had. I hate Olive Garden, but even I would choose this over The Brick.
First of all – BREAD THE EGGPLANT! nobody wants slimy, greasy, mushy eggplant on their sandwich.
Second of all – BREAD THE EGGPLANT!
Last…. if you want to serve guacamole on your menu, perhaps you should have opened a Mexican restaurant because they sure don't know a thing about Italian food.
I noticed the reviews are hot and cold for this place. Literally. It was my first time ordering and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now. The delivery situation needs major improvement. Seamless pegs them for 45 minutes max and it took over an hour. If the food was not GOOD then I definitely would have called back and complained. We had the rice ball, mushroom app, and prosciutto pizza that were all cooked well and full of flavor. I will give them another chance – probably in person vs. delivery.
