Brick 3 Pizza

A perfect place to grab a slice before or after a show at at Turner Hall. Fast service, friendly staff, and a variety of delicious pizzas.

Average pizza. Crust is a bit dry. Not really NY style, but relatively thin pizza. Ordered from here twice.

Very nice homeless man happened to be in the vicinity of this store, the gentleman was obviously in need but he never asked me for anything. I wanted to purchase a slice of pizza and a side and was told that I wasn’t allowed to buy it for the homeless man! I was a paying customer, this man did not ask me to do anything for him but he was hungry yet this restaurant was willing to turn business away to refuse dinner to a homeless person. Messed up! I will never EVER go here again. Support your local community!

We have ordered Brick many times when looking for some pizza to carry out. While we have eaten here as well, we prefer to order from here and carry out on Fridaynights when we want to chill at home. We used the coupon online as well. We like that we can order many slices of different flavors to accommodate all parties, or on rare occasions when we all agree, we will order one type of pizza. Great choices and good pizza!

Solid pizza, great garlic knots, space is clean but can get loud and very busy.

Small shop, big taste. If you enjoy having a choice of yummy unconventional pizza toppings, visit Brick 3. It’s limited on seating during the busy hours but it’s open late and who doesn’t love pizza? They also have some pretty awesome garlic bread and cheese bread sticks that are great with additional red sauce for dipping.
If you don’t want pizza, and why come here otherwise, they also have salads and hearty sandwiches. Everything looks good AND tastes good.
If you are worried about price, don’t be. Everything on the menu is very reasonable for a downtown establishment. Even on the inexpensive side. A full menu with pricing is listed on their website along with the various types of pizzas and the pizza of the month.
Brick also offers delivery!

If you are looking for legitimate New York style slices this is your place! The crust is perfect, a tiny bit sweet and super flavorful. They have so many original options to choose from it was hard to choose. I couldn’t resist the loaded Macaroni and cheese slice. It was great! I added their tasty Red sauce, because that’s the way I like it. I also got the meat lovers and it was Amazing! I’ll be back to try some more…

Grabbed a cheese slice and it was perfection. It is hard to find a place that does not serve up greasy cardboard lately but they do not do that at all. The cheese was warm and salty. Add the perfect crust that was lightly floured and you have a perfect slice. Highly recommend.

Went there twice last night. Once for supper and then back at 2 am when we were done partying. It was amazing. Super thin crust and the toppings are soooo fresh and good. Handmade pizza dough in-​house, hot and ready right when you walk in. They have 10 – 15 kinds of bottled beer as well. Definitely will go there again when we come back to Milwaukee.

If you’re hungry for a quick slice of good pizza, this is a great place to go in Milwaukee. The restaurant is not very big — a couple of booths and counter seating — however it is clean and they are super efficient. The pizza is thin crust, already prepared and you just pick the one you want and they heat it up in the mega pizza ovens in just a few minutes. A good selection of soda and beer is available. I’m a big fan of the BBQ Chicken and find it hard to order anything else… but I would if I were you… along with a BBQ Chicken slice.

I dont dislike brick 3 pizza. I’ve just had better.
It has a great location on old world 3^rd street. I was hungry one night I was staying at the Aloft hotel and wondered into Brick 3 after midnight or 1am. There were a few people in the establishment with me.
Right away you can see that it is a pretty nice place. The wood flooring is excellent and the colors are inviting. The stainless steel décor runs throughout. They have the showcase so you can see some of the deserts that they sell.
Now what i dont like is that they have the pizza sitting out… I could care less if it is under a warming lamp, they take your slice and throw it in the over which is in full view so it can be warm for you to eat.
I understand this is New York Pizza. I have had New York Pizza in New York. I dont like it in Milwaukee or in New York. Part of the reason its made this way is that New Yorkers have little time to sit and wait for a pie to be cooked. This is not New York by the way and we Milwaukeans have time!
I always order cheese. The cheese pizza was a standard cheese pizza. Nothing more and nothing less. The crust was a little dry and gritty for my taste. Kinda like the pizza i had at transfer… just not that bad.
The prices on the other pieces are really steep. I looked at the menu and saw a 25 dollar pizza before extra toppings and Wi sales tax? Would I stop in again? I doubt it.

I was in Milwaukee on vacation an wanted a quick bite. Im from New York so im used to good pizza. First of all, the block that this place is on is beautiful. Great, authentic german food and bars everywhere with a lot of character. This place is fairly modern and has a good amount of seating.
I had the baked potato slice. Delicious! The crust is thin and there’s so much good cheese. This slice has cheddar, mozzarella with slices of scallion, this potato and bacon bits. Good sized slice.
Also tried the regular slice. Its a little different than New York Pizza. Better cheese quality that was a little chewy but great taste. Not a lot of oregano in the sauce. I liked it.
Great find. VERY impressed with it because im not in New York :) A fantastic 4 stars because its above average.
Place says also they do sandwiches and salads. :)

The pizza was great! Found it on Unilocal and tried it. Worth the drive into downtown. Heading to a baseball game now

The cops go here a lot so it must be good, right?
The sausage and pepperoni pizza is my favorite. The slices of sausage are divine and perfectly spiced. I’ve also enjoyed the mostaccioli & meatball pizza. Pizza by the slice is always nice. I once strapped their large pizza on the back rack of my bike. Wide load for sure! I got some strange looks.

Get an XL pizza, it’s HUGE!!! I just love having obnoxiously large food/​servings and Brick 3 does not disappoint. I was barley able to get the pizza box into the backseat of my car!
The pizzas I have tried have all been fantastic!!! I’ve had the Caprese, Lasagna, and Chicken Parmigiana pizzas as well as the garlic bread and fried ravioli. Not only does Brick 3 have amazing pizzas, which are super fresh and incredibly delicious, the fried ravioli is the best! I have always ordered take-​out and my order is always correct and super hot.
I highly recommend Brick 3, especially if you are entertaining guests. I look forward to visiting again!

I went to Brick 3 regularly for a slice until I discovered Ian’s Pizza nearby. Brick 3’s slices are fine, but I’m not a fan of the crust. It’s pretty bland. Cardboard, really. There’s usually a decent variety of fun flavors such as BLT. BBQ Chicken and Mac ‘n Cheese. I’ve tried quite a few and overall, they’re good, just not that great.
The staff I’ve encountered there has usually been ok, but disinterested in being there. Considering there’s a pizza slice joint mere blocks away with great pizza and super friendly staff, you’ll know where to find me.

The music students from MATC like to come here, it’s cheap, fast and pretty tasty. They have many slices ready to go, ranging from the standard combinations to some pretty odd ones. They keep the pizzas out a bit past when they shouldn’t be sold any more, but that’s okay, you can look at them and see what’s fresh and what isn’t. Also, they will make one fresh for you pretty quickly, so I think this a good choice for lunch, walking distance from MATC and the north end of downtown.

Descriptive phrase: subpar NY-​style pizza.
Brick 3 somehow made me disappointed in a pizza experience, which seems impossible. I ordered takeout which was supposed to take 30 minutes. Luckily I came early because it took me almost that much time to find a parking spot. I understand that Old World 3^rd St is a popular location, but if you’re a takeout pizza place you should have some 5-​minute parking or something right outside (or in back, which had plenty of space). My options were $ 15 next door, $ 5 down the street, or parking on the other side of the river. I chose the river.
The inside looks like they turned a Jimmy Johns into a pizza place. No particular reason to stay and eat, but it wasn’t uninviting. The pizzas they had for by-​the-​slice looked like they’d been sitting there for quite some time.
My order, a 20-​inch half Barbecue Chicken Bacon and half Baked Potato, was ready when I walked in. Into a box it went, and the employee drizzled some BBQ sauce on top of half of it. $ 27 (and a long, cold walk back to my car) later and I was on my way.
This was giant pizza, with giant slices, but small on taste. Nowhere near enough sauce on either type of slice. Dry and a bit chewy, though you could fold it like NY style should be. Just not very good, especially considering both types were their «specialty» styles they advertise online, not my own concoction. And it was so thin that halfway through my first slice the entire pizza was cold.
If you’re willing to drop that kind of cash on a pizza, go to Transfer where it’s quality. If you want interesting, fast, and tasty slices, head to Ian’s. Brick 3 isn’t worth your time.
PS: All of their cookies come straight out of a Pick’N’Save box. They had them stacked in a bag on the counter when I came in.

First, let me just apologize. I think I’m going to hurt the feelings of some of my fellow Unilocalers. I came in here expecting a «NY» slice of pizza. You do know that NY stands for New York, right?
Now, I’m not going to sit here and preach about the NYC. I’ve never lived there, but my cousin does live in Williamsburg (she moved there before it was cool) and I’ve visited about a handful of times in the past fifteen years and pizza was on the menu almost every other day in the weeks I’ve spent in NYC. I’ve had everything from the local chains in Manhattan to the smaller shops in BK and this really isn’t the type of pizza I’m accustomed to eating there.
I came in and got a slice of BBQ Chicken (since it won some kind of award, at least they said it did) and a slice of Pepperoni. It’s not that it wasn’t good, it just wasn’t that great and it definitely wasn’t «A New York slice». One main difference is the pliability of the slice. With a NY slice, I can usually fold it in a U-​shape and eat it folded in half without the cheese sides touching each other. I tried this with both slices, and they might as well call this «LA style pizza» because the crust on both cracked like the San Andreas fault. It was tough and dry, and not dry in a good and crispy kind of way.
The toppings were good, I was hoping for a little more stretch in the cheese though. The meat was very delicious, the chicken was tender and juicy instead of rubbery and dry like on other chicken pizzas.
A note to pizza shops, coffee shops and other places with tip jars, I always tip when I see one, but I’ll tip more if there is a funny or clever sign attached. This place has one of the best tip jars I’ve seen (see picture).
We also had some cheese bread, which was decent, and my buddy had some garlic knots that he really enjoyed.
All in all, good but not great pizza.

Decent pizza slice shop. Taken for what it is, A OK.
We had scrapped our plans for dinner and opted to grab something close to our hotel and watch the Hawks. While my picky eating little lady couldn’t have been more disappointed with her pizza, I was just fine with the few slices that I got.
Brick 3 reminds me of Ray’s, Famous Original Ray’s, or just about any by the slice pizzeria on the corners of Any Street and That Boulevard, NYC. If you don’t know that drill, here we go… many pies are already made and waiting when you arrive. Consider your options and choose a few slices that will be reheated in the oven, which oddly is not made of Bricks. I loved that you could grab an actual slice and not that square cut bullshit. Also was pleased to see the cheese, pepper and garlic salt shakers all over to jazz up your pizza.
I got the Caprese, bacon and bbq chicken and sausage and pepperoni. The chicken one was my favorite, Caprese place and pep and sausage show.
Couldn’t hold a candle to the pies we had at Wolf Peach the night before. Simple, average pizza that would just go great with some bar hopping in the neighborhood.
