Brick & Stones — Restaurant in Worcester

Alright, let’s be clear—there is zero excuse to eat at a giant pizza chain ever again. You know the drill: those sad pies that taste like somebody scraped yesterday’s antipasto off the buffet, dumped it on flavorless dough, and shoved it in a conveyor belt oven. Domino’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut—yeah, I’m looking at you. That’s not pizza, that’s edible depression.

Now, this place on Grafton Street? In a STRIP MALL, no less? It doesn’t just beat the chains, it takes their lunch money and throws their sneakers on the power line. The thin-crust pizza is perfection—wood-fired, crispy, and topped with ingredients that taste like they came straight out of someone’s backyard garden, not a Sysco truck.

And the steak and cheese egg rolls? Don’t even play. These are mini steak bombs—fried golden brown, oozing flavor, and begging to be dunked in nacho cheese. After one bite, you’ll swear you heard angels sing—or maybe that was just your arteries clapping.

But here’s the kicker—you’re not just here for food. Nope. They’ve got a full bar. And not just “we poured you a rum and Coke, now beat it” bar. I’m talking specialty cocktails dripping with personality. Drinks that make you want to take a picture before you even sip them. Drinks that say, “Yeah, I could have gone to Chili’s for a $5 margarita, but I chose happiness instead.” Pair one with your pizza or those glorious egg rolls and suddenly you’re living your best life in a strip mall.

So here’s the deal: forget chain pizza forever. Gas up, get over there, and order like you mean it. You’ll leave stuffed, a little buzzed, and totally smug knowing you just leveled up in the food game.

If you still hit a chain after this, you’re the kind of person who microwaves fish in the office. Don’t...

I ordered their steak frites with a margarita for dinner. Paying for top shelf tequila there was no evidence there was even tequila in the drink. It essentially tasted like Kool-Aid. Our server was very nice and attentive. When I received my steak after a number of bites, I realized that it was raw. It was ordered medium rare, and it was raw. The waitress noticed before I said anything that it was not cooked enough and removed my plate. I was under the impression that they would be removing it from the bill. The waitress went and spoke with the assistant manager who came over and argued that it's cooked to a temperature not how it looks and it's my problem that I ordered it medium rare.. I explained that it was raw and she stuck to the fact that they cooked to a temperature and it doesn't matter what it looks like. I explained that I can't risk getting sick from raw food. She begrudgingly removed half the cost. In the end I paid for a watered down drink and french fries totaling $50. The waitress was fantastic and very apologetic. The general manager was argumentative and unhelpful and not taking into consideration my concerns. I never post reviews.. This...

We’ve eaten here before and have never been disappointed, our most recent visit we noticed the change in furnishings from the last time we were here. The couch type seating and chairs are a really nice touch. We were welcomed by Sierra and Kendra, it’s apparent if one is busy the other is right there to help. Reminds you of higher end restaurants, where service is never overlooked. My dins and I each ordered pizzas, my favorite is sausage, peppers and onions, I love when the sausage is in chunks and not sliced, Brick and Stones uses chunks. My sons ordered their own styles, I’ll say this; the cheese, crust and ingredients were of the best. Sierra and Kendra were always attentive to us but never over bearing, we engaged in conversation with them when they weren’t busy, they’re very personable and friendly. Overall, a great meal at a great price, drinks included. All I can say is; don’t change a thing. We will make it a point to...
