"I don't normally write reviews unless I've had either a really really good experience, or a really really bad one... Luckily here it was the former.I understand Brixx Wood Fired Pizza is a franchise and that my experience here doesn't dictate what everyone else will experience at any other Brixx but I can say if you come to the Brixx in Southern Pines, you will have a wonderful experience To start with, this is family owned- The owners Wayne and Iris or *Iraelva* (her full name as seen on my receipt) are some of the most amazing, genuine, and kind people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. It was a very familial experience over all Even though Wayne and Iris owned the restaurant, Iris was also our server and Wayne made sure our cups were always refilled. Even though there were other servers around... Which my family and I appreciated very muchWayne was very friendly and funny, gave us a discount simply because it was our first time in the area, and entertained my wife and kids with some magic tricks (dinner and a show) meanwhile Iris (his wife) was the most sweet, and caring server we've ever had (and that is saying a lot) and even taught my kids a little Spanish! To top it all off, their extremely talented daughter Rachel (who is a concert level singer, guitar player, and pianist) happened to be in town from college and was playing a show at the restaurant that night. What an experience!The restaurant was very clean and spacious, very modern, big TV's everywhere, and even had an outdoor option. Wayne even dimmed the lights for us, to give a more romantic upscale feel, AND handed us a remote so we had our own personal TV at our leisure.The rest of the staff were also very friendly, mostly younger people, very diverse from all different ethnic backgrounds, which was nice to see, especially in a smaller southern town.The food is the only thing that might be similar at other Brixx restaurants, I imagine. The Pizza was hand made, (you could see the whole process if you wanted to, which can be very cool if you've never seen something like that before, especially for the kids) the young men who were making the pizza were very talented, they could do tricks with, and throw the dough, like you'd see in a movieOver all the people here made the experience a 10/10The food was also very good, but the people are the reason my family and I will be coming back. If you want some good service and quality interactions with good people, come to Brixx in Southern Pines.. and ask for Iris, you won't regret it"
