"I used to live in Charlottesville when Brick Oven first opened, so I have dined here before. My husband and I decided to celebrate his birthday at the restaurant while in town for a football game, as we were looking for a casual atmosphere and somewhere close to our hotel to avoid traffic. The interior is simple yet inviting, and they have a new salad bar that looked appealing, although we didn't try it. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered a variety of dishes including pizza, calzones, a pasta dish, and buffalo mac and cheese. Everything was delicious except for the buffalo mac and cheese, which lacked flavor and did not taste like buffalo at all. My husband's opinion was shared by the rest of us. When the owner asked about our meal, we mentioned our disappointment. He was understanding and gracious, offering us another entree at no extra charge. Although my husband declined, he did accept a cannoli from the owner. Despite the issue with the buffalo mac and cheese, the pizzas, calzones, and pasta dish were all tasty. The pizza was especially a hit with me. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and plan on returning to Brick Oven in the future."
