Had a pepperoni calzone from here recently (they deliver to Warren!) and LOVED it. Really good cheese and tastes similar to Nellos in Warren. Would definitely recommend.

Thin crust style pizza with excellent quality toppings, but the crust just isn't quite right for this New Yorker's taste buds. Still, it's one of the best take-out options in the East Bay suburbs.
This place is primarily geared for take-out. There are a couple of tables and self-service paper plates and a fridge with bottled soda to eat in.
We've found the sauce and toppings to be excellent. The sauce hits the right balance of a little tangy and not too sweet. The cheese is real, high quality, and generously slathered on. It pulls in long, gooey strings just like the best pizza cheese should. The peppers are truly roasted, and the mushrooms fresh. On sauce and toppings we'd give it 4.5 stars.
Where the pizza didn't appeal to our palates was the crust. We're New Yorkers, so we're very picky about crust. Brickyards looks right, thin (but not cracker thin) crust, slightly charred, nice bubbles on top. But to us it tastes like bread and not pizza dough crust.
It's kind of the opposite of Federal Hill Pizza in Warren. We think they're crust is perfect, but find the sauce to be virtually non-existent and tastes like a bit of watery ketchup, and other toppings to taste supermarket bought.
Still, we think Brickyard is one of the best take-out pizza options in the relative pizza desert of the East Bay (lots of places but none that are memorable to our tongues). -

There were things I liked and didn't like about this place, hence the 3 stars.
When we first arrived we were the only people in the restaurant, but the two guys working didn't greet us or acknowledge we were there (I get it, I've worked in service and know it's a hard job). However, even after we'd waited at the counter a few minutes, and they'd both seen us, no one said hi to us or asked us what we wanted to order. Eventually both of them came to the counter where we were standing after the phones rang to take take out orders, all before they talked to us. They don't serve pizza by the slice, which was a bit disappointing. We ordered a small prosciutto and fig pizza which ended up to be $16.
The experience was partially salvaged by the taste of the pizza, which was really delicious. The pizza itself was done very well, the crust was crispy, the flavors were executed great! It wasn't too greasy either. I'm not a huge fan of Gorgonzola, but I should have looked at the menu description more carefully and that isn't their fault. Overall the pizza tasted awesome but I do believe it was overpriced for what we got, and we didn't have an option to offset the cost by getting only a slice or two. There are other places with gourmet toppings that do pizza well in RI that do sell by the slice and don't carry quite as hefty a price tag. Due to the service I don't know if I'd be back again, and I'd be much more likely to come back if they sold individual slices! -

As someone who grew up in RI (a long time ago :-) on Casserta's and Art's pizza and now lives in Brooklyn, NY, I can honestly say that Brickyard Pizza can hold it's own at the varsity level!
Last night I devoured several slices of their pepperoni and their sausage and onion pizza!
Now because I will be judging them on the Grimaldi's, Frank Pepe and Raminto's level, I am going to be extra critical which is a testament to the quality of their product.
The crusts were thin and flavorful but when my brother took some slices and put them on a pizza stone at 400* for 4 minutes, they became a bit crispier and even more flavorful. I thought the tomato sauce was a bit bland but the pepperoni and sausage while not quite as spicy as those at the aforementioned Godfathers of the trade, were of top quality. The cheese was full of flavor and applied generously.
Finally I was impressed by the friendliness of the three people who were on duty when we stopped by last night to pick up our order.
Thank you Brickyard. I hope to have some more slices the next time I am in RI! -

Okay. I have no idea why I haven't tried this place yet. I'm sooo sick of having no good delivery pizza or being same old, same old.
I love thin pizza. And next time I'll know to add extra sauce when I get extra cheese, but w that being said, this pizza was sooo unexpectedly good.
Their online ordering is basically flawless. Idk what else to say about the ease of use.
The Asian chili sauce on the wings was amazing. They just didn't make them well done like I asked. However. That's okay because I have leftovers ready for my toaster oven.
There's nothing else to say other than...I have a new go-to place. And I'm happy
