| - I love this Brixx! Although the food is no different from their other locations, this East Blvd spot is so much more cozy and inviting! Patio seating is perfect on a warm night. Extra patio kudos for the space being dog friendly! And I've never had any problems with the service, ever.
The pizzas are slightly overpriced... but after 10pm pizzas and appetizers are BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE! (make sure you mention this to your server!) Brixx also has BOGO coupons everywhere! Citipass book, back of the Yellow Pages book, newpaper inserts, etc.
Menu is very vegetarian friendly! You can even get vegan cheese and whole wheat crust if you so desire. Both types of crusts are thin, wood-fired, and crispy; which makes them super light. Don't let the size of the pie fool you... if you're hungry, one person can take out an entire pizza! (or even if you're just in love with how perfect and delicious it is, in my case).
Appetizers: Spinach and Artichoke Dip is outta control good. It's even got a little zip to it. I substitute the crostinti for pita bread. The Bruschetta is good, although not my favorite in town. "Wood Fired Pita Chips and Three Dips" is really, really yummy. This is basically 3 different types of hummus (traditional, roasted red pepper, and black bean). Mmmm.
Salads: The first salad I tried here was the Brixx Salad, and it's so perfect I've never even bothered with anything else. Mixed greens, pistachios, goat cheese, croutons, balsamic vinegerette, and a hunk of house-mouse rosemary focaccia. Heads up, you can order a half-size for half-price!
Pizzas: The best part. I'd first like to mention that Brixx is so awesome that you can get these little pizzas half-and-half if you can't decide on what style you want, or want to split it with someone else.
My go-to is the Quattro Formaggio (mozzarella, parmesan, gouda and goat cheeses with sun-dried tomatoes) and then I add feta for good measure. Does that make it Cinco Formaggio?
Pear & Gorgonzola: !!!!! sliced pear, mozzarella, gorgonzola and caramelized onions topped with toasted walnuts!!!!!!
Greek: roma tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onions, and feta cheese topped with fresh basil and balsamic glaze drizzle.
Decent beer on tap selection here!
Open late (1am) when almost everything else in Charlotte is closed!
