My in-laws love this place. I am lactose intolerant. I find this is a hard place to find options for myself. I can get soup or pasta, and when questioning a mild gluten allergy, really all I can get is soup. The soup is decent. Service is great, typically it's college students and they're very friendly. As for the atmosphere, sometimes it can get overwhelming. As someone who has struggled with multiple types of anxiety, it can be panic-inducing. People are packed in pretty close, and there's typically a lot of people there. It's difficult to move chairs, so if you're trying to get out of your chair that can be a real trick. And there's a lot of corners that you don't know who's coming around, and it's not uncommon to run into somebody or have them run into you. It can also get quite loud in there, especially when someone is being sung a birthday song. That said, it's a very friendly and excited and happy atmosphere. For many people in the area, this is a traditional place to go for birthdays or for reminiscent memories of their college days. It used to be called heaps, and a lot of their promotions are no longer in existence that people remember. For example, the heaps promotion where you could try many different kinds of pizza was discontinued during COVID. I personally try to avoid Brick Oven. I don't find the food to be that high quality, the amount of cheese they put on the foods and other dairy products in their foods make me very physically uncomfortable when I eat them, and most foods there tend to be relatively greasy, or high carb, low protein, the opposite of what I'm shooting for, diet-wise. The foods are definitely cooked on-site. But it's not really for me. The nostalgia element is not there for me because I didn't enjoy college as much, and the prices don't make it a college student-friendly location.

I understand that gluten free pizza is tricky but I’d expect more from a $20 price tag. The burnt ends are normal for pizza but with cauliflower crust, it turns into a cracker.

We should have left when they brought out the bread. The bread honestly tasted like gluten free bread. The balsamic was cheap and the oil was CLEAR. I don't know if it was soybean oil or maybe avocado oil, but it was NOT olive oil. My wife's bowl of minestrone was almost bereft of any ingredients. Hardly any pasta, mostly broth. No beans. Weird. My "lasagna?" noodles cheese, hamburger and canned sauce. NO seasoning. NO garlic, onion, oregano, basil, parsley, etc. Not even salt or pepper. And they covered the plate in sauce!! I was dumfounded after the first bite, so I passed it to my wife. So bland I couldn't finish. When the waiter came to check on the food, I told him it was terrible and, pointing to my plate, I said "that's not lasagna." My wife's Caesar salad had decently seasoned chicken and the veg was fresh. So there was that. And while I actually like tomatoes in my salad, large slices of beefsteak tomatoes doesn't scream Italian. The italian dressing was canned. One step up from cafeteria salad. They didn't charge me for the lasagna. So there is that. But you know the bad Mexican restaurants that rely on cheese for flavor? This reminded me of that only worse. I wasn't expecting Cucina Toscana. Now that is a restaurant! I expected more of a family style Americanized Italian restaurant. But good. It wasn't. Nothing tasted unhealthy. It's just not a restaurant. There is nothing Dolce about this place. Steer clear. I almost never send food back or write reviews. But these people shouldn't be running a restaurant. How it got 4.3 or how it got awards I just don't know.

This used to be my favorite pizza place, but then I developed a gluten intolerance. In my opinion, gluten free pizza isn’t very good. The crust is extremely thin and doesn’t seem to have any flavor. I’m very sad, but I won’t be able to eat here anymore. I would recommend it if you are not gluten-free. But if you are, don’t waste your $$ here. In my opinion, it’s also too expensive for the gluten-free pizza for the amount of pizza that you get. Because it’s so thin it’s not very filling.

We always stop here when we come to Provo. The owners are great and remember us because we order so many gluten-free pizzas.
