Brick Oven Pizza

I don’t get how half of these employees even got hired to begin with. You can’t tell who’s a manager. Me and my family decided to eat here for dinner we had a party of 8 and got seated on a table that should have been meant for 4 but after waiting 20 mins for a table we were just happy to be seated. The waitress took so long to come to our table to greet us we already knew what we wanted so we asked to just order. We waited for over 30 mins for our basket of bread and chicken wings tables all around us that got seated after us got their food before we did! Our pizza took an additional 20 mins after our children were falling asleep at the table! The waitress did not come by once to apologize for the wait or even give an explanation. Another table got
Our bread and we watched them take the bread back from them after putting it on their table and give it to us! How disgusting! It’s so sad because we love eating here! Their owner should really look on Unilocal and look at people’s reviews and make changes before they lose a restaurant!

We, and I mean all of us love this place! The pizza is awesome, the drinks are killer! Go during happy hour or for the buffet. Also great place to watch football… very noisy and entertaining. Not a place to go for a quite dinner!
They give the kids dough to play with whilst you wait. Kinda gross… but fun!
If your going to catch a movie across the street… let em know and they will do their best to get you when you need to go!
Plus.One of the managers went to ASU… got to support the Sun Devil Ohana… go Devils!

we had the teriyaki wings, garden salad, Margherita pizza. It was very good. Service was excellent. Crust was devine.

Cyndy’s Bottom Line: The pizza is better than the service.
I’ve been wanting to try this location since the original location on Kauai was so yummy. We stopped in for a late lunch and the place was not really full as I would suspect even for a late lunch.
We sat ourselves and waited for someone to acknowledge us. It took a bit of time for a waiter to stop by and provide some water and yes we would like a menu since our telepathic mind can not read it.
We ordered our pizza with three yummy toppings of pepperoni, Italian sausage and bacon on top of a whole wheat crust and brushed with garlic butter. Doesn’t that sound yummy? Great to see a whole wheat crust as a option and the garlic butter is the best too.
We sat patiently and watched the TV and chatted. Wondering if it the pizza was being transported from Kauai.
Water service was great I must have drank my daily quota of water. Very cold and delicious Kapolei water. After the 4^th or 5^th cup of water our pizza arrived. It was worth the wait because it was so delicious! Enjoyed the whole wheat crust which was crisp and flavorful with the garlic butter. The toppings were great too and evenly distributed on the pizza.
We were happy with our pizza but could not finish it all so we needed a box. We had to track down our waiter for a box then the check.
You know that the service in a restaurant is not up to par when you have to find your waiter and ask for everything.
But the water service was excellent!

TL;DR Loud and expensive but tasty.
We were craving pizza and had just got our Hula Boba drinks on a Sunday night so we walked over here.
Location: Easy to find, easy to park. A sports bar atmosphere. Very loud even at half full.
Service: Friendly and fast.
Food/​Price: $ 17 for a small pizza. ~$ 33 for a large. Ouch. Makes me wish we went for our usual $ 7 large at Little Ceasar’s in Kmart. It was tasty though. We got the super meaty specialty.
For the price, if I was going out with friends, I’d probably rather go to CPK.

Of all the years that Brick Oven Pizza has been around in Kapolei I have only visited the establishment twice. The first visit was with my brother (whose currently homeless) and my most recent visit was with J2.
First visit happened back in 2013. That day my brother had to do some errands in Kapolei and we decided to have lunch at Brick Oven Pizza. We were greeted right away. I noticed that the short female employee who helped us also worked at a different establishment in Waianae. My brother and I ordered the steam clams plus the sauteed mushrooms as our appetizers. We also ordered a small olive pizza to share.
Recent visit was on a Friday night in 2015 that I had met up with J2 for dinner. J2 was already seated at a table and waiting for me. I had ordered a bowl of clam chowder, sauteed mushrooms, and a oyster shot. I also shared half of a Brick Oven Pizza with J2. For dessert I had ordered an ice cream sundae with chocolate syrup on top.
Each visit the employees were friendly and they checked up on us frequently. The short female employee from 2013 was even working the night of my recent visit to the establishment… of course someone else ended up being my waiter for the night.
The establishment has both inside and outside dining. There are some flat screen televisions around the restaurant for the patrons to enjoy the fights or games. The ladies restroom was pretty clean as well.
If I am ever in the Kapolei area and hungry for pizza at least now I know on where to go. It helps that this establishment is within walking distance to the Kapolei Transit Center.

This place is very fun and friendly if your looking for a good place to sit and eat some delicious pizza! A couple days ago Me and my best friend went here about an hour and a half before closing and it was pretty busy. Service is kinda slow every time I’ve gone but they always have something good on at least one of the tvs, so the wait isn’t that bad. Never knew they had a buffet though, not really a bad idea but just not enough space, I felt too crowded. Fave pizza place bc everything is so full of flavour.

Pizza is good.
Service is very poor.
It took over 10 minutes to be acknowledged by the waiter.
By then I already knew my order, but I had to go along with the «usual» «can I start you off with any drinks?» as if I was in a fine dining restaurant… lol
ok, I ordered a beer and waited another 5 minutes to get my order in.
from ordering my food to the time it was on my table was approx 15 – 20 minutes. not that bad.
but the waiter was so slow, i actually mean that he moved slow. and was very poor at multitasking. i waited for over 5 – 10 minutes just to get a refill on my cup of water.
I don’t think I’ll be back to this location… at least for dine-​in service.
I’ll stick with the Kaneohe location. Much better table service at that location.

Usually the food is good. Today must have been an off day. The wings were over cooked and sauceless and the registers broke down. I couldn’t pay by cash or card. Maybe next time will be better.
Came back again… So much better. The chicken wings are back on point.

Visited here last Thursday and ordered the Shrimp pizza bread. I uncovered the bread when I got to class but the wax paper stuck to the pizza and ripped off all the cheese. I went back in to today to tell them about the situation and they comped me a free one. I love when a business takes responsibility for a mistake. I wasn’t upset at all just wanted the problem fixed. Way to go Brick Oven!

2^nd time coming to this place and if you don’t like a loud atmosphere and looking for something quieter this is not the place to be. Other than that we really enjoy the food and the staff is friendly.
The first time coming here we were surprised by the «sports bar» feeling w/​the tvs and the customers cheering on their favorite football teams. But it didn’t bother us. There is even patio seating as well.

Okay so I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile now. #1 because I love pizza and #2 alot of. people said good things about it and they had buffet so why not right?
We live a tad bit away from where it’s at maybe 15 – 20 min. Drive but one night we decided since it was a buffet night and we wanted to try we decided to drive out there.
As I walked in I kind of get the chill back, sports bar kinda vibe. We arrived around 730 ish and the buffet was still open. Score! The restaurant was a little slower another Score! There were about 5 tables occupied.
As we got sat we were right near the buffet which is super close proximity where people were eating. In fact my head was right near the warmers that had pasta and breadsticks from what I noticed at a glance.
My other half who was wanting to try the buffet natural walks over to it and scans it and was kinda disappointed, everything appeared to be cold except the items that were in warmers like the winga, spy beans, pasta and bread. The pizzas were all kinda cold looking and was not under any heat lamp. We scratched the buffet idea and decided to order fresh from the menu.
The restaurant for being a little slower had all of one server it seemed and looked as if she was a little frazzled. We finally ordered… 7 piece hot wings (dry, sauce on the side) Caesar salad and a medium super supreme (which is like a specialty if theres) the wings were mediocre, I thought pizza Hut was better. The salad had anchovies which I love on Caesar salad and was good. As for the pizza it was so ono! The toppings were all so flavorful and the crust was like no other, nice and airy with a slight crunch. We ordered regular white crust but they also have wheat which I have to try if we ever go again. The reason I’m giving them a 2 is because even though the pizza was really tasty and good and satisfied that appetite for pizza was the mistake they made. So while we are waiting for our pizza I noticed the table whom git sat 5 minutes after us was already eating there pizzas, we got our wings and salad but pizza had not come out yet. Once the server realized she finally came over to apologize for the wait. I replied «I was wondering why they got there pizza before us» she answered «I know I’m so sorry, the guy made a mistake on your pizza, he made a large by mistake instead of your medium» as soon as I heard that I already got a irritated vibe. First of all I work in the service industry and if I was her j would’ve given the customer the pizza, regardless of it being bigger. Firstly you made the error on size, not on toppings, not on crust choice on size. Give the customer the pizza and apologize and just say hey were giving you large since it was an error on our part
eliminate from us having to wait. So she made us wait that 5 – 10 minutes to make the correct size. So stupid. And that’s why they get a 2.

Went for a quick bite, I had to be in and out in a half an hour. I let my server know this before we ate, she did not disappoint.
We ordered, she brought waters quickly. She even brought some play pizza dough for my bfs son to play with… and not eat. I thought that was a cute new way to entertain children instead of an activity paper that they normally get.
We order the Super pizza on wheat bread with a garlic butter rub on the crust. It came out in a timely matter, streaming hot! Crust is everything to pizza. And this crust was crunchy and chewy just how I like it. Thin under the pizza toppings, and the right thickness on the crust.
I would definitely recommend you try this place of you haven’t already.

It’s a brick houuss… OVEN!
Besides the chain restaurants like Pizza Hut and Little Caesars, Brick Oven pizza is the closest pizza joint for us Westside dwellers.
Located near the Kapolei transit center in a small center is where you will find this joint. This is my go to spot for first dates being that there usually isn’t a wait, the noise level is perfect, not too loud and not so quiet as to hear crickets. Servers are friendly, décor is dark colors, I’m guessing in remnants of a brick oven look/​feel, though they have license plates on the wall as well.hmm.
I love pizza but who doesn’t, right?! I do enjoy their pizza a lot. Having the option to have pesto sauce over marinara is a plus. Tomato based products tend to give me acid reflux if I partake a bit late in the evening. sorry, tmi.
I’ve tried the wheat crust, it was actually good, but it just felt too healthy for this pizza addict. The pesto sauce is great and also the garlic butter on the crust is okay, more garlic would make a huge difference, in amping up the taste. The garlic clams is really good! Perfectly seasoned and cooked well. I also really liked the extra hot, hot wings, taste was lip smacking good. The fried calamari doesn’t stand out, pretty much the taste that you get when ordering calamari at other restaurants.
Last night was my first time ordering a bottle of red wine to accompany my dinner. Ordered the Stella Chianti, it is a pizza joint so this wine was okay. Since I had eaten earlier we decided to order a small pesto pizza with portugese sausage, bacon, spinach and cheese. Boy was I surprised when the pizza came out and it was slightly larger than a pizza hut personal pan pizza! I expected more for the price!
Overall, taste is good, servers are friendly constantly filling up my water, though each time I had visited here at least 2 – 3 water refills tasted as though it came from a water hose. Yes, I know how water hose water tastes, I was an 80’s kid *wink*. The one disappointment on this visit was as we stood on the side to wait for a hostess, she ignored us and helped the people behind us, who she had known, first. She then came back and apologized saying she didn’t know we were waiting.hmmm. There’s a first time for everything no stars subtracted for that.

Since we didn’t get our Flat Bread Pizza yesterday… guess where I went to eat pizza today??? Das right gangies… BRICK OVEN PIZZA! Yay!
I guess we couldn’t get that pizza off of our minds, so I met my friend in Kapolei today to eat some pizza.
Brick Oven Pizza originally started out in Kauai (Kalaheo), since then, they have opened another store in Kauai (Wailua), and then branched out to Oahu — (Kapolei & Kaneohe).
The first time I ever had Brick Oven Pizza was on Kauai (Kalaheo), and I thought the pizza was pretty good!
Today, as I try another Brick Oven location, I must say the pizza is pretty consistent…
We ordered the– Brick Ovens Super Pizza
The Brick Ovens Super Pizza is — A delectable combination of homemade sauce, cheese, salami, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, Italian sausage, lean beef, Portuguese sausage, smoked ham, green onions & bell peppers.
What can I say about the pizza?
First of all… love the crust! I love thin crusted pizza, and I love the way they make the edge of the pizza thick & doughy.
When you order the Brick Oven Super Pizza, they do load the pizza with a lot of crap, so when you pick it up… since the crust is not thick, or strong enough to hold up the toppings… there’s tendencies that the pizza will go limp on you, but no worries, a professional pizza eater like me… no problemo! I eat ‘em all with no problems at all!
It was a bit crowded today for lunch, but service was pretty good & attentive. Our waitress refilled our drinks right away, and kept coming by to check on us. The pizza came out quickly & was piping hot! Noms!
Too bad this location is so far from my house, otherwise I’d come here more often. Check ‘em out gang! Good pizza here!

I can’t speak to the whole restaurant experience since we just ordered a medium pizza for takeout. We arrived right when they opened at 11am on a Monday and it took about 15 minutes for the pizza to be made. I can’t remember the name of the pizza but it had all the toppings on it.
The taste was good but everything kept coming off each slice which made it very difficult to eat!

It’s really nice here. Beyond the glass doors are deep dark brown tables with black chairs & some metal too. Picture glass form the walls. There is an outdoor dining area.
Beyond the door –
Bar to the left; little further left is a staging area that serves as a check out counter; restrooms are far left. Wait — was that just a women’s restroom?! Think so.
Right of the door is the check-​in desk that’s never really used; straight ahead & right is the seating area.
Within 3 visits, I’ve tried 2 items:
1) Alfredo (add 85¢ each: mushrooms, zucchini, & spinach) + salad lunch special (2x)
2) Margherita pizza w/​extra cheese
TASTE: In general, I really like the taste of their food. It’s really good.
QUANTITY: Quantity is a problem however. It feels like they just put enough to add it to the dish but it’s a don’t-get-used-to-it kind of not-​enough :(
Review of 1) ALFREDO w/​3 ADD ONs + SALAD LUNCH SPECIAL: They have a great deal in their salad & alfredo. Nice salad albeit a bit fluffy (seems like it’s made to seem like it’s a lot but is not all that much if you were to press it all down lol). What I like about it is that it’s a lot more than just romaine. They also add in a variety of other gourmet-​type lettuces in good combination that do not make the salad taste bitter overall. Bit of curl of carrot on top & large chunks of tomatoes are nice. I’m more of a balsamic & olive oil person so I just (try to) sprinkle it on generously.
The alfredo is large & very tasty; however, also seemed a bit watery not at all ooey or gooey thick (I prefer this). Noodles were a bit softer than I’d like & could really stand to be more al dente. Small french bread are yummy though I wished were a lot larger. Note: Can not order this as take out. You MUST eat it there. Ho boy :(Eat there & total comes to $ 18 ($ 15 + tip)
Review of 2) MEDIUM-​sized MARGHERITA PIZZA W/​EXTRA CHEESE: Taste is good! Comes with tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese, & fresh fluffy basil evenly placed on top. Was unpleasantly surprised to find very sparsely spaced & hand-​placed fresh whole basil leaves on top not chopped. When I asked for more basil leaves, they put a bit more but still wasn’t enough to cover the pizza so I asked for more & they gave me a small rectangular paper bowl of it. This might seem like a lot but really was not many leaves much per slice of pizza in actuality. If you like basil (supposed to be part of my order, right?), you may have to ask for more 3 times not just 2 like I did :(
Extra cheese I swear I ordered didn’t seem to be very extra. At center, height of the pie was perhaps a lot less than ¼″ so if I hadn’t ordered extra cheese it would have been half or less than 1/​16″? I did ask about the amount of cheese that’s «extra» but was told that’s it. I was left a bit confused whether there really was any extra cheese.
Tomatoes were chopped up seemed to be hidden somewhere inside the cheese. You could definitely see spots of tomato pieces here & there but were more like semblances of them there spread reallly thinnn all over the pizza. I showed the server a photo of same pizza w/​tomato slices & he replied that the tomato slicer was probably broken that day that’s why they were in slices bc they don’t do that (slices). Admitted that I’d prefer tomato slices & he said he would let them know.
Topped w/​garlic?! None seen but think I tasted it/​them!
By now I’m having such confused feelings. It tastes great but then there’s all these buts that for the most part go unanswered & unresolved. I am a kind of happy pizza diner but sort of not really.
Next, bread around the perimeter is nice & thick; center pie area is so thin that it’s more than a bit difficult to cut. I usually use a fork+knife to cut pizza haha but today found it extremely more efficient to just pick it up w/​my fingers. Then when I picked up a slice, all were so thin I had to use my fork to hold up the center part of the pizza in order to eat it. I’m even more confused. Is pizza supposed to be this flimsy way?! I have eaten my fair share of pizzas in my life and have never experienced such a flopsy thing! Aiyah.
Eat this there & it’s $ 28+ (24 + tip)
WATER SERVICE & SERVICE IN GENERAL:
It seemed like wait staff were hardly in the dining area or they’d pass you by on the way to doing something nearby you & never look up to see how you were doing. If you need attention, call out from afar to let them know you need something: Help. S-​O-​S!!!
WATER — My water cup could have been filled 4 – 5 more times in addition to the 3 times while I ate. Hey, the cups contained lotsa ice so the H2O is actually pretty brief.
OLIVE OIL & BALSAMIC VINEGAR — Waaay difficult to get anything out of these containers! Use arm momentum!
3 STARS = The taste is delicious. Considering these prices, I just wanted to enjoy a good meal & not have to deal w/​quantity & ingredient technicalities or hunt for service all meal long. Sad Panda face :(

I love pizza. Been craving it for weeks now, and finally made it out to Kapolei to have some Brick Oven Pizza. We were seated right away during lunch time on a Saturday. What I liked was that they didn’t try to put everyone in a corner of the restaurant, but instead spread us out so we aren’t packed in a corner like sardines!
Wait staff was quick. Not much interaction other than them taking my order and refilling my water.
Menu is extensive. I suggest you take your time going through all they have to offer before you make your decision. So tempting to want to try everything though! You can make your own pie or order one of their specialty pies. They’ve got salads, appetizers, combos, drinks, wings, etc. Everything you’d expect in a pizza joint.
I opted for the small sized margherita pizza with pepperoni, which is roughly 8 small slices. Tons of garlic in there! The crust was very crispy. We asked for marinara sauce on the side just to dip the crust in. YUMMY!
Also ordered the hot wings. Wasn’t too impressed with the wings. They were a bit dry and not very generous with the sauce. I’ve had better.
They’ve got alcohol. Happy hour. TVs in every corner for your entertainment. Good place to stop by with some friends. Wouldn’t go out of my way, though.
Enjoy.

I went here for the first time last month. We went in the early afternoon, so it wasn’t crowded at all. I feel that the restaurant is home-​y, yet modern. There were license plates from various states that lined the wall nearest us. Sitting at our table, reading our menus, we noticed that there was a live FLY trapped in our cheese shaker. (the only reason why I knocked off a star.)
We ordered a small pizza with a side basket of their bread. I think it took about 20 minutes or so for us to get our order. When we started eating, we were not disappointed. The cheese was gooey and our pizza toppings were delicious. (We got three toppings.) Although the pizza was fairly thin, it was still yummy! The bread –listed under sandwiches on the menu – was also amazing! For the 3 of us, including a nice tip, it was about $ 30 or so. I left happy and full! I recommend this place :)

Had a late lunch here, didn’t know what to expect since there were some bad Unilocal reviews, but mostly good ones. Luckily, we had a great meal here. We didn’t want to eat or spend too much, so got 2 small pizzas, a pepperoni (about $ 12.50) and a meat lovers one (about $ 17.50).
After about 15 minutes our pies arrived, hot and fresh out of the oven. The crust was nice and crispy, brushed lightly with garlic butter. The pizzas were topped with gooey cheese, and both were really good. Each pie had 8 small slices, so 2 were like a slice of a large pizza. The waitress was friendly and efficient, refiling our waters and sodas without us even having to ask.
We will eat here again if we are in the area. It’s not cheap, but definitely way better than the Hut or P Johns!
