“Taste great and local !!!“

“This is my favorite place I've eaten since moving here, our waiter was friendly and the food came out quick and hot. The appetizer we got, the razer back rolls were drool worthy. The apple pie desert was also good. I recommend eating here.“

“I’ve tried several pizzas at American Pie and they’re exactly what you’d expect from a solid thin-crust pizzeria. My personal pizza favorites might not be yours — but the salads? Absolute must-try. The Deluxe salad is my go-to every visit. Mini, small, or large, they’re always fresh, loaded, and delicious. Honestly, the mini is so good it can be a full dinner on its own.“

“I have been eating and getting to go from this location since I was a teenager, never once have I had anything that was even close to okay.. Because it's fantastic!!! I love all their pizzas I have ever had, my favorites are the pepperoni and the chicken bacon ranch!!! I am texturally picky about any quality of the chicken anywhere- they pass that test with flying colors! Their quesadillas are so scrumptious, the original and the chicken bacon ranch ones!! Seriously- don't forget about their ranch, it's honestly the perfect consistency, and the taste is unmatched!! I highly recommend Brick Oven!“

“I was recently in town visiting and, as always, ordered from one of my favorite spots—three large Salad Supremes. Unfortunately, one of the salads was missing meat. By the time I returned to my hotel room and realized it, the restaurant had already closed. I took a time-stamped photo and video as proof and returned the next day.

I spoke with a manager named Tre’ and explained the situation, even showing him the video and photo. While he did offer a replacement salad, I explained that I was heading back out of town and a replacement wouldn’t work—I simply wanted a refund for the one incorrect salad.

Tre’ was dismissive, unfriendly, and defensive. He claimed there was nothing he could do since the order was placed online and on the previous day. I found that completely unacceptable. I wasn’t asking for a full refund (which totaled nearly $50), just a refund for the one item that was wrong. Despite having the receipt and evidence, he offered no solution other than telling me to contact corporate.

Thankfully, Ashley at the corporate office resolved the issue in under five minutes—professional, understanding, and efficient.

The only reason I’m giving this a 4-star review is because I’ve never had issues in the past, and Ashley provided great service. If this review were based solely on my experience with Tre’, it would have been 1 star.

Thank you, Ashley, for turning the situation around!“

“Ive been dining here for lunch almost every day of the week for the last 8 months. My food is always good and the service is always AMAZING. Cher and Danya are by far the sweetest servers I've ever had! They go above and beyond to accommodate me (even if I order something wonky) they make it happen. Chad the GM always greets me with a table touch and always with a smile. I am able to work while I dine and the atmosphere is just happy! I love my US Pizza crew and could not ask for a better place to spend my lunch break! Thank you for all you do! It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!“
