We just stopped in for a couple of beers while waiting for a movie time. The service was good and friendly, and it reminded me a lot the Brixx in Chapel Hill. The food in Chapel Hill was awesome, and the pizzas and salads here looked great too.

Brixx is a good place to eat at Alamance Crossing. The pizzas are good, but my teen says the pasta is "disgusting." Her description not mine, although I wouldn't disagree, having had to switch my pizza for her pasta dish. The beer selection is better than most places in Alamance. If you are shopping or seeing a movie this is not a bad place to eat. It is MUCH better and inexpensive than the big faux-talian chain down the street.

This is a great location for a friend and I to meet up-I'm coming from Durham and she is coming from Greensboro. She had suggested pizza and it's hard for me to turn down pizza! I have only had brixx take out on one occasion so eating in was a new experience for the both of us. It was much smaller than I was expecting. Our server was attentive and when asked questions about drinks, actively sought out the answer and even provided samples of some beer, which was greatly appreciated. My friend and I ordered the rosemary chicken and mushroom pizza and I must say it had good flavor! This would not have been my first pick on the menu, but was surprised by it! After two drinks a piece and a pizza we got out of there for a reasonable price. Thanks for a good experience!

Not pleased 1. No root beer sold out and it was on a Tuesday night ??? Only other drink available was coke products and lemonade ..and you boast for having so many beers ..what a totally disappointed moment ...I don't drink alcohol 2. Pizza is made on a crust similar to a pita ..not a pizza crust at all and very soggy 3. Severed lukewarm 4. Kids eat free night and grandson was never asked what he would like to eat... 5. Samore pizza was fairly good if you simply took off the toppings ...because the pita crust was not even warm 6. 3 10inch pizzas , a order of pasta , and salads with drinks 70 bucks not worth it at all

I returned a single star upon a re-visit last month. I was pleased to see Jamie return as bartender and the food quality was slightly improved. I still have reservations about coming back as a regular until it finds new ownership with someone that is more passionate about allowing Brixx to thrive as a pizza PUB, rather than just another cookie-cutter franchised restaurant. This area (and world for that matter) have an over-abundance of corporate, top-down, run-of-the-mill eateries. What we need more of are restaurateurs that thumb their noses at corporate dictators and focus on the customer experience. If I wanted a dry, sterile pizza experience; I'd go and order one online to drink beer with at home. What I desire from a place like Brixx is a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that I not only look forward to eating at but also to take friends from out of town. As it stands right now, Brixx is only hitting about 30% of what I'd like out of it.
I was disappointed. I was approached by "managers" from Brixx in the Harris Teeter parking lot on South Church St. in Burlington. They talked me into paying $20 for a coupon book ( buy one, get one free pizzas). One night, I thought I'd use my coupon for take out. I called the number on the coupon book and it was disconnected. I drove over to Brixx. When they realized that I was not eating in the restaurant, no one would help me. I finally got the bartender to take my order. I ordered 2 pizzas to go. I was not impressed by the food or the service. Definitely lost money on that deal. That's my bad .. who buys coupon books in grocery store parking lots ???

Brixx is a decent pizza joint with a far too limited selection of pies. The pizzas are quite good (I particularly enjoy the chicken rosemary) and the beer selection is vast. But the pizza selection seems to be a very limited take it or leave it scenario. The staff is friendly and the restaurant isn't too loud. It's not the best joint around, but I do wish I could give them an extra half star. They're above average, but not a first choice for me.

Love Brixx but the service was really slow tonight. A table that was seated 10 minutes after us finished their meal and left before we got our pizza and sandwiches.

Brixx is a wonderful pizzeria located in the heart of Alamance Crossing, and conveniently near the theater. Every time I walk into Brixx, the decor jumps out at me. It is such a cozy and welcoming environment, with large glass windows that are great for people watching. Brixx boasts one of the most spectacular beer selections in the area. They stock all of the local favorites and an impressive number of delicious imports. Now, on to the pizza... In my personal opinion, Brixx has some of the most unique pizza creations! I am always stuck, trying to decide which pizza to order. Now, as great as their pizza selections are, the rest of the menu seems a little lackluster to me. The sandwiches and wraps are decent, but ordinary.... And the desert menu is a bit of a disappointment. But hey, this is primarily a pizzeria! So, don't let my few groups and complaints deter you.. It sure has never deterred me from eating here! As a little quick tip, I wouldn't spend money on the desserts @ Brixx, especially when there is a cold stone creamery well within walking distance :)

Pizza is good has that brick oven taste. Waiters and waitress always friendly, well at least during lunch hours.Though last time I was there about 3 months ago they said they weren't doing the lunch specials anymore so I'm disappointed!

Yet another in the 'specialty pizzas' line of restaurants that has come to Burlington. This one at Alamance Crossing (in the old Shane's Rib Shack location) certainly smells good from the outside, kind of like a fireplace. Inside however the vibe is totally different. College aged staff was friendly enough, but very inexperienced. My 9-year old and I were seated and ordered a sprite and a tea. When the drinks came out they were placed on... beer coasters. ("Daddy, what is Guinness?" ) While we were looking over our menu's, a group of three came in, sat down, looked over the menus, looked at each other, then got up and left. No clue why, maybe it wasn't their cup of tea either. The kids' pizza were simple enough, cheese, peperoni or any other single topping. The adult menu however, very different. Pizzas: Spicy Shrimp, Margherita, Buffalo Chicken, etc...all 10" They also have specialty sandwiches, I may give that a try for lunch sometime, but just with a 10" pizza, a kids personal pizza and two drinks we couldn't get out of there for less than $20. Just too pricey for pizza for me. meh. I guess I just don't get it.

Typically, I LOVE Brixx, but I was not impressed by this location's restaurant in Alamance Crossing. Our server was ok, not friendly, just to the point. He was more interested in chatting up a friend who sat at the bar. We were in ear-shoot and overheard his whole conversation about boozing up the night before, blah, blah...while our drinks sat empty. All I wanted was another Red Oak. We always start with the Brixx salad split onto two plates. Just ask, they're happy to do it. Recently, they switched from pine nuts to pistachios. Not a fan of the switch, but oh well. Pizza choices are excellent. I've tried the greek, pear & gorgonzola, bbq chicken, chicken florentine, and rustica. It's fun to go with someone who is willing to share, so you can try a couple...it's always so hard to choose. The rest of the menu is slack. My husband tried a sandwich once, ick, we were not impressed. Stick with salad, pizza, and beer.

Nothing about this pizza is good. Bland sauce, flavorless cheese, mediocre toppings on a so what? wood burned crust. You will find better pizza at the grocery. Worst of all, one of our pizzas smelled like cigarette smoke. Really.

Friendly place! The bartenders here are cool folks. 22 beers on draft- almost all small craft brews like Dogfish Head and Red Oak. Got my pizza really quick and it was delicious. My drink never got empty before I was offered another one. A great pizza bar in the area.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Their pizza was so on point and the salad we ordered was enough to feed two people without either person feeling cheated. My fiancée and I were extremely impressed at the quality of the food and beverages we ordered, as well as the service! 5/5 would definitely come again!
