Brick and Dough

“Writing this as a vendor who came to set up balloons for a surprise party at Brick & Dough. For starters Mike the owner is incredible, he was extremely communicative and even sent my photos of the space beforehand so i can get a clear idea for set up. Upon arrival he even helped me bring in supplies and was super accommodating. Clearly this is the set standard for his employees as well because the whole staff from the hostesses to the event staff to the bus boys were just lovely. I didn’t stay for the event but before leaving I ordered 2 pies to go and I’m literally mid bite writing this review because of how spectacular this pizza is! I can only imagine how good this party is eating tonight. Will definitely be returning for a date night or girls night out soon!”

“We love Neapolitan-style pizza so we thought we’d try this popular spot in Montclair. The Garlic Knot is a “must get”, served hot. The meatballs were delicious with the sauce worthy of sopping with any available dough. We liked the Arugula Salad, and our pizza selections were delicious. Definitely try it if you’re in the mood.”

“This place is insanely good. Brick and Dough has mastered the difficult art of a perfect restaurant — incredible food, attentive service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to hang out all night. My husband and I are huge foodies with high standards, and this is some of the best pizza we have ever had. Their smashburger is so good that we no longer order smashburgers anywhere else. The garlic knots, cheesy bread, poutine, cheesesteaks, and every other menu item we’ve tried are phenomenal. The manager, Mike, is wonderful and goes above and beyond expectations. I can’t remember ever writing a review for a restaurant, but felt compelled given how outstanding our experience continues to be each time we visit. A true gem in Montclair!”

“We recently visited Brick & Dough in Montclair on Sunday afternoon and were seated quickly. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they were very helpful in explaining the menu since it was our first time visiting. We really enjoyed the food. We ordered Mike’s Pizza, which had a nice chili kick, and the crunchy Brussels sprouts were especially delicious. Overall, we were very happy with both the taste and the service. The restrooms were clean, and the overall experience was great. I imagine there may be a wait in the evening. Parking is paid street parking and can be a little difficult to find. We will definitely be visiting again.”

“I cannot speak more highly of this place. It wins on all levels: food, service, and atmosphere. The pizza is probably the best I’ve ever had. My family and I are huge pizza snobs, always looking for the greatest pizza around town. We’ve tried so many places but nothing compares to Brick & Dough. The dough is so delicious- it is almost chewy yet still charred but doesn’t scrape your mouth like other crusts that are more burnt (which I hate). The sauce, the sauce. OMG. What is in that sauce?? I tell them every time we go there (which is every Friday), to please bottle up your marinara and sell it. I mean it’s the most amazing thing you’ll ever taste. Period. We always get a plain pie and white pie, and always try out their seasonal pies which are insane! For starters the cheese bread sticks with that YUMMM-marinara sauce is so so good. The arancini is packed with flavor. So delish. Honestly I think everything we try there has been a hit. Now about the staff, where do I begin? These guys are all a group of highly trained professionals! Every single person my family and I have interacted with at Brick & Dough is super pleasant and kind. There is one individual in particular that I want to shout out here. His name is Mike, the manager at B&D. This guy is the definition of what a true leader should be in any company, restaurant, or organization. He is the kindest, most professional person we have ever met. The way he manages this restaurant and his staff, and then finding time to greet me and my family and share laughs…I cannot tell you how much joy it brings us (especially to our 2 year old daughter). Every week she cannot wait until Friday comes around because she knows it’s Brick & Dough time. And as soon as we walk in the first thing she says is “where’s Mike?”!! He is not your average manager….he is a rockstar leader. I hope Brick & Dough leadership reads this and recognizes this individual. And Mike if you are reading this, thank you. Thank you for all that you do. And see you again, next Friday ;-)”
