The most generous comment I can make about this pizza is that it almost met my expectations. I've eaten at Brick and Ivy a couple of times before, but I’ve always opted for sandwiches. I would recommend getting anything else besides the pizza at this restaurant. For the purposes of this review, I won't deduct points for it being cut into squares—partially because I've given up hope of ever getting a properly cut pizza, and partially because I don’t want to give a pizza a 0.
The first thing to consider when eating pizza is the taste and balance of the three main components: crust, cheese, and sauce. These are all integral, because without them, it’s not a pizza. The crust of "The Cubbie" would be lucky to have as much flavor as a Lunchables party pizza crust. If you had told me it was cardboard, I might have believed you.
Finding something positive to say about the sauce or cheese/toppings is nearly impossible. Since I must say something, I’ll say, “Well, they were there.”
To reiterate, I’ve eaten multiple other meals at Brick and Ivy, which I would rate as average Midwestern bar food, but this pizza struck out.
