Me and some family members are visiting from out of town and randomly decided to eat here, as it was near our Airbnb. Everything on the menu is made fresh AND comes in generous portions. My brother & I shared the meatballs which came w/slices of the best focaccia bread I’ve ever had in my life! Highly recommend this place.

Stunningly delicious Italian fare in a warm, tastefully-rustic space that radiates the intimacy of the best meals together. Prior to our meal at Brick< the best pasta dish I ever enjoyed was frutti di mare in Manarola. Tonight, that dish was edged out by Chef Pratt's take on Orecchiette, full of all the rich complexity of the best ingredients prepared intentionally for the culinary symphony they played together. Our son thinks there is only one food group (pizza) and is very picky about his pies. After our meal, he informed us it was the best pizza he'd ever had ("Top 5?" "Top 1"). The other dishes were fantastic as well. The squash blossoms were perfection, and the meatballs a delight. Everyone on the line was focused on consistently executing this excellence. The front-of-house staff was just the right amount of attentive and ensured our needs were met without hesitation. Can't wait until our next visit to California for another special meal at Brick.

The food and service here are amazing! I went to Italy this year and the food was just as good if not better at Brick. The fact that it’s a locally owned business too- with locally sourced organic ingredients- is a plus . My favorite is the brick meatballs with the gluten free penne. I could seriously have them everyday

Friendly staff and good service considering the busy friday night. Bricks Pepperoni Pizza was really good and the meatballs were amazing. The Margherita pizza was a little overpowered by burned taste from the bottom. Totally would go back especially with a group of 6-10.

As locals, we have supported this business since it opened. Originally it was one of our favorites. Through the pandemic, we ordered regularly and always recommended this place. We knew servers by name and they literally knew our orders the minute we sat down. Saturday 2/11/23 we planned a night out for Valentine’s and booked reservations weeks ago with a request for our usual High Top Table – when we arrived it was busy as usual for a Saturday night. We were told the reservation (which I am pretty sure was ours) at the high top was unavailable we could wait for the next open table even though we had reservations for weeks. Then we get seated and we are told “no pizza” – wait it’s a pizza place! Did they call or tell anyone who had reservations that they had no pizza? NO! It was so chaotic and unorganized and literally they did not care. We had made no other plans for dinner for our Saturday but the rudeness, the chaos, and the disregard for customer care – well sadly we walked away and probably will not return. 🙁 Truly sad to write this negative review. We have supported this place for so long but it has turned a corner where the $$ is all that matters and the customers suffer for it.

The best wood fired Pizza in San Clemente. Open for take out and dine in if you call and make a reservation for the outdoor patio during COVID-19 which is awesome Super stoked! The Margarita Pizza is my personal favorite, highly recommend you try it. The wood oven bakes the pizza crust perfectly

Nice little high energy place to grab some bites, could get busy during peak hours so reservation is highly recommended. Fusion kind of food, servers are very friendly. This area does not get crowded even at peak times but parking could be a challenge sometimes. Overall, highly recommended.
