Buyer Beware - the positive ratings are not current. After reading other reviews I see that B&B was sold, which explains the drastic degradation of both the food & service under a new owner. Another reviewer was overcharged and can’t get B&B to make it right, which jibes with my experiences of him arguing over the posted prices & cash discount.
Updated review (October 2023): I’m unfortunately changing my review from 5 stars to 1. After really enjoying B&B 1-2 times per month for about 18 months, our last 3 visits have been terrible. After the first bad visit around Aug/Sep I figured it was a fluke because I’d never had a bad experience ordering food from there. But after 2 more bad visits, I’ve sadly realized this is the new normal. Not only has the food quality completely tanked and orders are suddenly made wrong, but the new guy that’s been there all 3 of the latest times has actually argued with me about what I’d ordered and also tried to reject the coupons and bundle deals from their website that I’ve been using the whole time!
I paid more for extra cheese each of the 3 latest visits, but all 3 had less cheese than the non-extra pizzas and had several inches along the crust that were devoid of toppings other than a meager layer of sauce. My latest visits also included orders of cinnastix, which we’ve enjoyed in the past (usually brushed with butter, liberally sprinkled with cinnamon, and a packet of icing to drizzle on later), but both of these latest cinnastix orders were literally just dry strips of bread.
To add insult to injury, the argumentative worker was clearly sick the other day when I visited for the last time ever. He was coughing & sniffling before handling our food. Just gross.
Original review (early 2022): For a year or so we’ve been searching all over the Dayton area - without success - to replace our all-time favorite pizza, Spinoza’s, which didn’t survive the pandemic/lockdown fallout. Brew & Brews is very similar in taste – with some familiar toppings like Ohio Enzo pepperoni and similarly flavorful pizza sauce. Considering it’s super convenient to drive-thru for pickup and there are more menu & drink options at B&Bs, we might like this even better than our old fave. If you’re a pizza snob, don’t let the drive-thru experience keep you away because the food is next level. We’ve tried it twice now and will definitely be returning for many future...
Read moreSo sad to write this because my husband and I love this place, or we used to. We placed an order for delivery about 1-2 weeks ago because we needed dinner for the family AND cigs and we felt too lazy to run out and get them. In comes the glorious concept of Slices, Brew and Brew where they offer to deliver anything they carry, along with food orders. We ordered an XL Pepperoni and our cigs, and about an hour later it's delivered. I tipped the driver $7 in cash, told him to have a great evening and gathered the family for our pizza. One problem... it turned out to be a PINEAPPLE pizza. Not a single soul in my household would eat this, just because of our preferences. It was a bit disappointing but oh well, it's Brew and Brew and we love them, right? Let's just rectify it! So I called and a gentleman offered to have it replaced. He put me on hold. Another gentleman gets on the phone and asks if there is any way we would just accept a credit for a future order because they were really busy. Sure, I said! I was polite and patient and understanding and even confirmed, "So, I can get a free XL Pepperoni?" I wanted to confirm that since I wasn't sure how much of a credit they meant. Anyway, he agreed and everything was fine. Flash forward to tonight and while I am at work, my husband called and wanted to order the pizza and some salads. He was told there was no record of a credit. They looked under his name and mine and nothing. They told him that they couldn't verify that they had messed up our order and there was nothing he could do. My husband got upset and said, "I can't believe you're not going to f'ing fix this!" And then he hung up. Now, I know he cursed. I know he was upset and I know he hung up. BUT... he didn't curse AT the gentleman, he was understandably angry. A man calls my husband back saying that he is a manager and my husband shouldn't speak that way and to F OFF! Literally... told to F off and then hung up on my husband!!! I am shocked and hugely disappointed but tomorrow I will be contacting the BBB because this is outrageous! One of the all-time WORST experiences! Sorry, B&B but we ordered from you frequently because my husband is a huge fan of NY style pizza, but...
Read moreHaving never seen an actual drive-through liquor store I would say I was my very first. And then to learn, they actually sold New York style pizza, well, that was just an added bonus. when you drive through, you will be amazed at the selection of both alcoholic, and non-alcoholic drinks that are available. We are not from the Cincinnati area, so we saw many brands we had never seen before. The woman who waited on us was extremely helpful and we were on our way quickly. But in my opinion, the real treat is the pizza. I’m an East Coast pizza kind of guy… Specifically New York style. I’ve worked in pizzerias I’ve owned pizzerias… I would consider myself a bit of a pizza snob… And I would say this was as close to a true New York style pizza as I found in a long time. It was fantastic. Truly better than any one of the chain pizzas, such as Dominoes, Papa John’s, Little Caesars… I would consider this a hidden gem. I called my pizza order in, it was ready in 20 minutes, I arrived, picked up my beer, got my pizza, and I was out of there in five minutes flat. I would have that pizza any day of the week. Absolute...
