The Brick Oven

Just went for the first time ¼/​16. All I have to say is I wish I would of found this place sooner. It is the best Food ever. Their hand tossed Pizza was excellent. The best falafel balls. He nailed them like old school when I was growing up. I would Highly recommend you try.
Thanks for great service and Fresh homemade food.

Good variety here. Love their house salad dressing, really makes a difference on an otherwise plain salad. Gyros and pizza are good too.

This place has 5 star pizza with 3 star service and atmosphere. We ordered our pizza immediately to feed our toddler and ordered wings about 5 minutes later. The wings came out 25 minutes AFTER we were done eating the pizza. Our server said the kitchen forgot to drop them. We ordered a piece of cheesecake and the waitress said to us «He forgot to buy one». It could be a cute little place but the décor is kind of lacking, borderline cheesy. The pizza is absolutely delicious, the wings were ok. If we were to go back it probably be for pizza only and take-​out. Overall it was just «eh».

I ate there twice this week. First time I went with my mother-​in-​law and it was during the week at about 6pm. There was only one table there when we arrived. Our food took a very long time to come out and the service was slow. The place in general was «meh» but the pizza was delicious so tonight I went back with my husband. Again, the service was super slow. They forgot to drop his wings and our server brought them out 25 minutes after we were done eating our pizza. I ordered a piece of cheesecake and the sever said «He didn’t buy another one so we don’t have any». I personally love their St. Louis Style pizza but that’s all I’ve had there. The atmosphere and service is definitely stale and lacking. Both experiences I felt like the servers didn’t really want to be there. It was dead on a Friday night. I probably wouldn’t dine-​in again. I gave it two chances.

«Meh» just about says it all. I took my kids for lunch, planning on ordering the lunch buffet, but it was not all that impressive, or at least not as vegetarian friendly as I would expect from a place serving pizza and Mediterranean fare. Nary a cheese pizza on the buffet table, which I probably would’ve found odd even if I were an omnivore. So we ordered off the menu, which didn’t have quite as many Mediterranean offerings as pizza/​pasta selections. The baba ghanouj was decent and we enjoyed our NY style pizza, but I doubt we’ll return any time soon and don’t think you’re missing out if you haven’t tried The Brick Oven yet.

I drove by the little strip mall where they are located and really didn’t pay much attention to the fact that they are there. There is a sign that advertises their buffet, but I didn’t really see where they are located because they are at the end of the little strip mall. They advertise themselves as Italian and Greek, so kinda Mediterranean, and their menu reflects that, too.
So one day when I was in the neighborhood (I drive a lot for the work that I do), I thought I would stop by for lunch and check them out. I ordered the house salad with the creamy Italian type house dressing that they make there. I was very nice and I liked it considerably.
The next time that I was back in their neighborhood, on that side of the state, I decided to stop in and eat there to eat again. This time, I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and a small house salad. The small house salad was a much scaled down version of the larger house salad that I had before, but I liked it just as much as the larger salad that I had. The grilled chicken sandwich came open with the lettuce, pickle and tomato on the side. The grilled chicken looked just a little too dark and grilled too long; however, after I started eating it, that over
grilled appearance didn’t matter because it wasn’t dry and it tasted really good; I liked that.
When I’m in the area and on that side of the state again, I’m stopping there to eat again.

Came in for lunch, service was good. Menu selection is good if you love it Italian. Manicotti looks amazing. I order New York style pizza and it was good. St. Louis style pizza is better than imos. Pizza was good nothing super special. I would definitely visit again

Blech. Trust me. It’s nauseatingly bad. And the fact they call it NY Style is hilarious. They do have a nice patio, …if you like sitting next to trash and empty propane tanks. Apologies to the owner, but you can do better.

One of the best New York style pizzas in the O’Fallon area. Although the competition is pretty weak, this place pleasantly surprised me.

We ordered the STL style pizz with pepperoni and it was fantastic. It was ooey gooey cheesy bliss. The service was great too

Well this turned out to be a bit disappointing. It started well, but the entrees failed me. The wife and I both ordered Mediterranean, rather than pizza, so you’ll have to look at my rating based on this. As we were heading to our booth, we passed a table with a NY style cheese pizza that did look delicious.
We started with the sample platter appetizer, and it was awesome — hot and fresh from the kitchen, with all the items delicious: falafel, kibbeh, fresh hummus, pita bread.
Unfortunately, the entrees that followed were weak. My wife’s Greek salad with gyro meat was room temperature or warmer, resulting in wilty, soggy lettuce and cucumbers that looked like pickle slices. The gyro meat appeared to be three pre-​formed slabs of meat, rather than pieces sliced from a spit. They also were about the temperature of the salad. It’s like it had all been sitting in the kitchen while the rest of the meal was prepared — which it probably was. The meat can be either hot or cold, the but salad itself needs to be chilled, not gross.
My beef shawarma sandwich was okay, but it just seemed like a gyro sandwich with slightly different tasting meat — which I guess it what it is. However, other shawarma’s I’ve had were more distinctive, especially when using a thinner pita bread that is cooked panini-​style.
I do have to acknowledge their very good baklava, though. Plus, they give you two decent size squares for a low price — much better than some other places that gouge you on it.

Good food each time I have ordered. Great sized portions and the toasted ravioli app is great!

We tried the St. Louis Style pizza with Green peppers, Black olives and Sausage. I liked the cheese and crust, combo of Provel and Motz, but didn’t care for the sausage. All in all pretty bland and boring. We did really like the T-​Ravs and sauce that came with. I will try them again, maybe next time, try the NY Style or maybe even go for the Chicago. I am interested to taste their Mediterranean options. Glad they deliver to our house also :)

I had the Philly cheese steak and Greek salad. The salad was very good. The cheese steak looked nothing like the picture. Very little meat and virtually no green peppers or onions. Not sure if I will give this place another try.

Probably not returning to this place. Very disappointed with the food. I order a chicken kabob w/​rice, plain and simple dish as displayed on the menu which is the top photo… Only to find out it was false advertising because the menu showed a totally different picture than what actually came out to our table… Bottom photo (ate a little before taking this photo)…To top it off, the rice tasted like fruit loops and everything tasted pre cooked! 2 hours later stomach still aches. Just awful! I added a photo. Take a look for yourself!

Very, very close to authentic NY pizza — I lived there for 20+ years and am a self described pizza snob! Always on the lookout for great pizza in STL that is provel-​free. They nailed it. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Tried this place for the first time. They were good. It’s a little place but it has a good atmosphere. Our waitress was a little busy though. She was new I think but she did well. Will go back and try their pizza.

Went Friday night around 6, tiny place nobody was there when we got there. Soon place was fairly full. Cute décor. We ordered the kibbeh, eggplant parmesean, and a New York style chicken Alfredo pizza. Service was fairly quick, not terribly efficient but ok. The kibbeh was decent but not great and not real warm, it did appear to be house made. I asked for lemon and it taste more like I am familiar with, a little to much of something for my taste maybe oregano? The eggplant parmesan was really good, my favorite dish of the night. The pizza was decent but not what I would say New York style, I like the thinner chewier crust, this was a little on the bready side. Nice fresh pretty broccoli and chicken on the pizza, good flavor. I would go back probably just for the eggplant parmesan!

The name is a lie. They DO NOT have a brick oven to cook the pizza. The cashier acknowledged this and said many customers are disappointed when they realize it. Do not go here!

Ordered some Greek food for delivery, that was great by itself. Then we realized the pizza rolls were all gone, insert catastrophe here! Called brick oven back to add a small cheese pizza and the driver slash owner was delivering our food. 10 minutes later he showed up with our pizza and refused to let us pay, and the pizza was as good as the Greek food! This will be our go to for pizza and Greek, kids and grown ups will all be happy. Thanks for the great service!
