Brooklyn Heights Pizzeria — Restaurant in Austin

First I want to say that the food here is good not outstanding but decent. My review mostly stems from a bad experience I had tonight. I usually come with friends for happy hour that, until recently, was 3-7 all days of the week. Happy hour specials are half price wings and apps as well as drink specials. We had no clue they had changed it to M-F only and we all follow them on social media so nothing was mentioned there either. We started to order and I order my usual margarita and typically when it's happy hour, regardless of where I am, I confirm with my waiter to make sure they give me the happy hour price. And he looks at us strange and told us only M-F. We were all shocked as we started coming to this place nearly 10 years ago and come quite often. Then on the drink menu they had a header with red tape over it and I thought oh well they just taped over that portion because now those are the everyday prices. Wrong. The waiter said he was new so he sent the manager over and the manager just gave a long, I'm talking 3 minute sob story about the price of food went up so on and so forth. This visit was disappointing to say the least. Needless to say we won't come here nearly as often as we did. I was expecting the manager to at least give us one drink at the happy hour price. I don't want it free but we just drove a substantial amount of time and my friends even got a babysitter just to come here to relax and have a couple drinks. And our only options are to leave, pay double or to just get other things that aren't as expensive. I ended up getting no drinks and just a slice of pizza. My friends ended up with just a few overpriced wings and a slice of pizza and no drinks. Afterall, we came here for happy hour, we had driven 30 minutes to come here. I intended to come here for a couple of margaritas and a few wings but I'm not paying $7 for 5 wings with no sides. To comment on their food, the wings and apps that I've had in the past were good on par with Wingstop, nothing outstanding. The pizza wasn't great as the crust was soggy and it was super greasy, however, it was a huge slice for $6. Long story short, it's only worth it for happy hour which is now only M-F 3-7. If you have any kind of issue during your visit don't expect stellar customer service and definitely don't expect them to make an offer to...

It’s a cold Saturday just got off I thought A little food a little Football. TEXAS / TCU. I thought Coffee to warm up a Slice and Salad watch a game, good plan right. Ordered Coffee to warm up was told no cream available no problem. I guess they were out of sugar and spoons too in truth it would not of helped. I’m serviced a cup that might have been older than me or at least it tasted that way. My salad ( house ) arrived ok. And the silver ware too ... sometime later ... after I asked for it. Pizza little later not bad as happy hour food goes. The sweet tea I asked for to replace the: (and I only call it this for lack of a science diploma that properly identify it) “COFFEE” Came sometime after that. Ok so I have established the service while not purposely bad lacked a large amount of GIVE A DAMN. Maybe I should say I was sitting at the bar. You might think, just leave !!! Well the game was on and that was the main draw. Texas won a predictable game and now I have asked to see the TCU game. Bartender was quick to abide. Was watching it settling in thinking might want to order a cocktail can’t screw up alcohol. The game switches to Washington. That’s right Washington. At UCLA NO DOUBT. Who in TEXAS cares. Now my calm was shattered. I had enough. I found my Bartender and protested she was quick to apologize and said I’ll change it right back. Then went to the table behind me to take an order. Walked around the bar passed the controls to serve drinks and was talking to another patron. I bolted for the door and won’t be going back. Obviously I’m to old and to TEXAN for a place called...

*UPDATE

Had the bruschetta again recently. I stopped ordering it a while back because it had too much garlic. Well, I tried it again and it was so strong that I could have killed all the bacteria not just in my body but in everyone else's around me. Whew! Great as an antibiotic and to rid yourself of devils, vampires, and werewolves but not great if you plan on talking with anyone. Go easy BHs, push back a bit on the garlic in the bruschetta.

ORIGINAL REVIEW (edited):

Great Happy Hour prices on beer and cocktails. Most appetizers are half price. Wings are great. Typical New York style pizza and fried apps. I recommend asking them to make your pizza crispy unless you like the folded taco pizza slice thing. The huge pretzels are also half price now. They are hot and delicious.

Food prices are pretty high like many restaurants these days but the portions are large.

Bartenders are excellent.

It gets pretty busy and hectic on certain nights but that's to...
