The Madrone - Brick Fire Pizza and Taphouse

Disappointed in our evening Sunday 10/ 27. Frequented this restaurant in the past & always was good...service & food, this time though no regular staff, slow service (waited 15 min for beer refill @ bar), pretty empty of customers, employee more involved cleaning & stocking than serving customers or engaging customers. Friendliness lacking. Sorry to see this change

I loved everything we ate! Jalapeno poppers have a homemade cream cheese that has a nice kick. Homemade nacho cheese sauce for our totchos. The wood fire gives everything a nice smokey flavor. Wings were a nice meaty size and we picked hot sauce of the day which a nice thick habanero. We took pizzas to go and he suggested not cutting the pizza there so when we get home and put in the oven it will warm up perfectly and it did! We ate the pizzas like 6 hours later. Not greasy, nice flavors, thin crust with a nice crunch. We got the 'All Meat' and 'I Like Eureka' I personally don't like goat cheese so he subbed parmesan. A lot of local beers to try. They have some TVs and it was a Sunday so football was on. We'll definitely be back to try some more pizzas! Since it is in a wood fire oven and I'm guessing that's how everything is cooked it may take longer to get your food especially if it's busy so keep that in mind. Worth the wait.

Food was fine, kinda over priced. The drink selection was surprisingly low. Service was slow for how little people were inside. Probably won't come here again as there is better pizza in old town and better places for drinks

I hate to do this to a local business but, we have got to do a little better in the food department in Humboldt.
That was the greasiest pizza I have ever encountered…the kind of grease you only see on a totally overcooked pizza.
It took 5 napkins to “blot” it and I still couldn’t stomach it. Three bites was all I ate after waiting 45 minutes for my dinner.
The waitress was weirdly stingy with the napkins, allowing me just two at a time…pretty frustrating for a super greasy pizza joint.
When she saw what I was doing, she totally ignored our table and just brought us the bill, but continued to be nice to the tables around us - so awkward.
When I didn’t want a box to take my uneaten pizza home, she had a whole shtick about why the pizza was swimming in grease. I could tell this wasn’t her first complaint about this.
$20+ for an 11” personal pizza…bummer experience. I really wanted to like this place.

Fantastic. We got meatball sub, smoked pork nachos and a pizza. All three were great. Really cool atmosphere and service was great.

Veg Pizza was not good. Seemed a bit raw to be honest. Very slow service.

This was probably the worst pizza I’ve had in a few years. Too much salt, but the grease was everywhere and they burnt the hell out of the pie as well. We had 6 people and we’re unanimous in that the food here was gross.

Amazing food! Very nice staff.

Vegetarian options: There are a lot of options for vegetarians, a little more difficult if you're vegan.

Great wood fired pizza, plus many other options on the menu. Lot of good beers from many different breweries, many of which I’ve never heard of. Owners are great people. Super friendly. Great chill place to enjoy some pizza and brews!

The prosciutto wrapped jalapeño poppers, and marinara meatball sub are phenomenal, not to mention the awesome happy hour prices on pints!
