Downtown Brickoven Pizza in Portsmouth

Nice outdoor area, very small food menu, drink menu large and Amanda was pleasant.

Great place for drinks, and the pizza is legit. Definitely a worthwhile Portsmouth destination.

Avg to fair meal for the price. How can you serve seafood, yet not have tartar sauce or sour cream? Waitress had zero personality.

We attempted to have a drink at this place because the ambiance seemed nice. It was 5:30 on a Thursday and we were told that we were not aloud to have a seat without ordering food. I was with my handicapped mother in law. We were offered to stand in the corner after ordering at the bar. There were a minimum of 15 open tables on the patio at this time. I took these photos at peak time of 7pm to show how many seats were still available!We went down the street to the brewery where our service was welcomed and actually ended up ordering some food anyway. As I understand the concept of this policy there are other ways to prevent these issues without the business denying money from customers.

Had the Peruvian Chicken Sandwich, decent size. At least a 6oz to 7oz piece of chicken, wood grilled.

Our waiter was awesome, atmosphere was great. I wouldn't really consider this place (small child) family friendly, mainly being more upscale. The food was incredible more pricy than our normal spend but a great spot to enjoy here and there!

Good food and service. Highly recommend.

Great environment and service. The food was fairly good, but not quite as described in the menu. Given the price I would expect the served dish to more or less match what is on the menu.

Very average , wings were luke warm after waiting an hour for the food. Waiter was average at best cdnt even keel the beers organized and the capacity was maybe 50% it's like really people how bad wd u be if the place was full....wnt be in a hurry to go back.any time soon

Fantastic drinks ,food and atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Friendly staff. Food was good. I had the BBQ Chicken tenders (they were just a little chewy) but the yummy sauce made up for it. Small but decent menu. Second time there and will return. Love the backyard seating vibe.

The pizza at this classic joint has very tasty choices and offers a large amount of draft beers. The only issue I had with this place is that I had a piece plastic in my beer, that was definitely a cooking hazard. Luckily I noticed it in time after my second sip. But overall the service and the food was great!

Awesome place! Food was fantastic! Service was great! We had the 3rd floor event room which was plenty big, great setting and views. We got a little bit of everything from the menu and all of it was delicious. Highly recommend this place for anytime or anything you want. Great job guys, please keep up the good work. Next time I visit NH this is the first place I’m coming back to. Thank you, from Texas.

Can't rate the food aside from the calamari, but these were delicious and I tend to get calamari at different restaurants for personal rating. Went here for a bachelor party and as busy as it was we were greeted relatively quickly. The environment was enjoyable as there was an outside patio with live music. The entrance fee was affordable and I did not mind paying.Selection of beers was nice as one would expect for the area to meet the demand of other competitors. The downstairs was a nice surprise. The group grabbed pizza afterwards and we didn't leave any left! They also have an upstairs night club that was part of the entrance fee which was a plus.

All of the servers are a fantastic and friendly. The food is great and if you get the frequent diner card, the place cannot be beat. Love it!

A nice spot for dinner. Good food, excellent drink, and a decently sized menu making for a great selection. The burgers are large and their drinks don't disappoint. Definitely a spot I'd return to.

Stopped by at this restaurant late Sunday night, mostly known for their beer sampler and lots of fun, good place to hang out in the weekends; food was great, service was good, nice atmosphere overall . Plenty of stairs and side rooms for more privacy in case you don't want to sit by the bar or you can go downstairs to have a nice fresh pizza. The beer mini factory is a great attraction and can see it through the windows while inside. Enjoy!

The atmosphere and the staff are great, overall I had a good experience. The pizza however wasn't that good. I got their version of a supreme pizza, so it can easily be compared with other establishments. There was very little cheese, and the peppers and onions were cut so big that their flavor was dominating. The crust was thin and crispy, which was nice. I was disappointed that for being a wood fired pizza, it tasted like it came out of a regular oven. It didn't have any smoky tones or that presence of high heat locking in the flavors. I'll give it another chance, but not interested in paying a premium price for pizza that tastes like take out.

I had many issues here.Mussels: we ordered them gluten free and they came gluten full. They were not fresh and tasted like sea water. Some were crunchy and cold.The fry things on top were very spicy and soggy.Chicken fingers: we ordered chicken fingers and fries. We got chicken fingers and carrots. The chicken was mediocre.Calamari: it was mostly peppers and the calamari itself wasn’t very good.Burger: it was just ok and the mashed potatoes were not good.Mac and cheese: it had no cheese flavor at all. The crumbs on top tasted weird and the pasta had an odd and unexpected flavor. 10/10 would not come again

Wow! Really good food and drinks as well as atmosphere. There are 3 levels to the restaurant. Lower floor (where we went) is the pizza pub. Brick oven pizzas and drafts. We got spinach and artichoke dip and Buff-A-Que wings. Both were soooo good. Then we got a gas light pizza and my wife built her own calzone. Pizza was one of the best I’ve had. We debated between this and Flatbreads but we’re happy with our choice here. Second floor is chicken,steak, and seafood and third is a night club. Would definitely recommend you checking it out. Very cool atmosphere and such good food.

Probably the worst experience I've ever had with a server. Carley came to our table and immediately told us she wanted us to leave at a certain time. She proceeded to stare us down when we didn't leave after our first drink and continued to come to our table when we kept telling her we didn't need anything else. I can't recall one moment where she was friendly. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry and was extremely disappointed by the service. It was our first time to Portsmouth and I'm only leaving a few stars because my margarita and the live music was good.

Really cool spot in Portsmouth. Came in for some drinks and some lunch. Sat at the bar, which was great because you could feel the heat from the Woodfired grill, as it was snowing outside. Service was good, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy. Really enjoyed this place.Pro Tip: cheap Guinness deals when it is snowing outside.

Not worth it. My girlfriend and I came in to the grill section on Friday night, and our entire time we heard the employees loudly complaining about customers. We got the haddock sandwich and lobster roll. The haddock sandwich was decent, but the lobster roll did not taste fresh at all. Our drinks were expensive for what we got.I do not recommend this place. Try somewhere else in market square.

Great food with a casual environment. They happily catered for our party of 10. Being British, the fish & chips were pretty exceptional.

Fantastic Garden Salad! Nice portion for the money! $12.00 as of 06-08-20 But unfortunately no croutons in salad as the menu shows.

This place is absolutely legendary. The pizza was the best I have ever had, the staff was polite and gave off positive vibes. If you come to Portsmouth I highly recommend Portsmouth Gas Light Co and you won’t regret it!

Excellent lobster roll and back patio seating👍

Carly was so friendly, even recommending places for desert and letting us know we had to have a reservation. Top notch service with food to match.

Nice place with a great beer variety. Also great is the menu. You can have from freshly made pizza to seafood.We tried seafood, mostly fried calamari and mussels and were delicious and fresh. Reasonably priced.

Great food! It's actually two restaurants. A fancier dinner place upstairs and a more casual pizza place downstairs. We went to the pizza place and loved it.

Times are tough in the restaurant business and this place fills the gap. Fantastic staff with live music is always a winning combo. Do not hesitate.

Great spot for dinner in Portsmouth! Awesome lobster roll and Pizza in the more laid-back dining room in the basement. Full service dining upstairs is great if you're looking for something a bit more upscale.

We stopped in for drinks and snacks. Drinks were nice, but was surprised by the horseradish in the shortribs poutine (a special). I am sure it was good if you like horseradish, but it was a strong flavor to not mention in the description. My partner enjoyed them though.
