Okay, so I’ve been craving some good pizza lately, and I heard about this place called Brick Pizza in Bristol. I decided to check it out and, oh boy, it was an adventure!
The Hunt Begins
First, I had to find the place. I looked it up, got the address, and hopped in my car. Bristol can be a bit tricky to navigate, with all its one-way streets and roundabouts.
Arrival and First Impressions
I finally found Brick Pizza, and parking was, shall we say, interesting. After circling the block a few times, I lucked into a spot. I walked in, and the place was buzzing. It had this cozy, rustic vibe – exposed brick walls (naturally!), wooden tables, and the smell of baking pizza was just heavenly. I grabbed a menu, it wasn’t huge, but everything sounded amazing.
Ordering and Waiting
I ended up going for a classic Margherita – sometimes, the simplest is the best, right? Plus, it’s a good way to judge a pizza place. I also ordered a side of their garlic knots, because, why not? I paid at the counter, and found a table.
The wait wasn’t too long, maybe 15-20 minutes. Enough time to people-watch and soak up the atmosphere. The place was pretty packed, a mix of families, couples, and groups of friends. It definitely felt like a neighborhood favorite.
The Pizza Arrives!
Then, the moment of truth. The pizza arrived, and it looked beautiful. A perfectly charred crust, bright red sauce, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves.
I took my first bite, and…wow. The crust was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, with that slight sourdough tang. The sauce was vibrant and flavorful, not too sweet, not too acidic. The cheese was gooey and delicious, and the basil added a nice fresh note. It was, honestly, one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time.
The garlic knots were fantastic, too. Warm, soft, and drenched in garlicky, buttery goodness. I might have overdone it a bit, but I regret nothing.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, Brick Pizza in Bristol? Definitely a winner. It’s a great spot for a casual meal, with delicious food and a lively atmosphere. The only downside is the parking situation, but hey, good pizza is worth a little hassle, right? If you’re in Bristol and craving some seriously good pizza, you should give it a try.
