Brio's Pizzeria - Phoenicia

A bit of a confusing setup when you go in, but you figure it out pretty quickly. We went for the mushroom pizza, which was surprisingly excellent. The shrooms were sauteed first, which makes all the difference. Service was a bit slow as they were understaffed, something that's unfortunately common in food service these days.

I agree with the last reviewer. The setup is slightly confusing when you first walk in. Plus the woman at the counter could be a little friendlier and not act like you're an inconvenience. Especially when the place wasn't that busy. Overall the food was great and will still return. We all have bad days I guess.

Amazing pizza cooked fresh in a wood fired pizza oven! One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten and I have had many pizzas from all over Italy. Really friendly staff and good beers. Wish I lived 3600 miles closer

I used to love this place but it’s really gone downhill in recent years. So disappointing because it used to be my favorite place to get food after a long day of hiking in the Catskills. The prices have about doubled over the years which would be fine and understandable considering the current economy if the quality of the food didn’t dramatically decline. I ordered the open face steak sandwich multiple times over the last two years and it was always delicious and beautiful and an ample portion. I got it yesterday and it was half the size that it used to be, a lower quality steak, completely unappetizing looking, and completely lacking in seasoning on the steak, and there was way too much garlic and not enough Parmesan on the fries. Even the fries seem to be different than they used to be. They used to be just plain but perfectly done crunchy curly fries with garlic Parmesan seasoning now they put some kind of red seasoning blend on the fries themselves in addition to the garlic Parmesan on top which as I mentioned was way too much garlic. I’m sorry I didn’t take a photo yesterday because I probably have photos from previous years to compare so you could see the difference but I forgot to get a picture. I’m sure I’ll go again and try the brio fish sandwich which used to be my favorite before the open steak and see if that’s any good anymore but I definitely won’t be buying the open steak sandwich again at $22. So sad.

I love the sesame crust pizza here. Its insanely good. Been coming here for 6+ years and it’s always consistent. Haven’t tried anything else off the menu so I can’t speak to that but it’s a great spot if you can snag a table outside. It can get very very busy but the staff does a great job to taking care of everyone.
