Brick Oven Bistro in the Press
Open for just three short weeks, The Brick Oven Bistro has already proved to be a popular new dining destination.
Partners Dante Pozzi and Michael Hockersmith, said word of mouth advertising is a key ingredient for their success. “We focus on quality and everything is made fresh every day,” said Pozzi. “Nothing is premade.” Their versatile menu offers American, French, and Italian bistro cuisine plus the signature brick oven pizzas. Fueled with a combination of wood and gas, the stones in the oven retain a consistent heat level. According to Hockersmith, this centuries old traditional baking method pulls moisture out of the pizza, leaving a crisp and chewy crust.
Seeing an opportunity here in Seven Lakes to open their own restaurant, culinary arts degree grads Pozzi and Hockersmith relocated from Delaware and have spent a year completely renovating their new bistro with a cozy Tuscan feel.
Popular lunch items include brick oven pizzas, paninis – an Italian pressed sandwich, fish and chips, and prime burgers.
Lunch is served Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 am to 2:30 pm.
Prices are generally $10 and under. The dinner menu includes cedar plank sal mon, chicken cordon bleu, and duck breast. Dinner is served Tuesday to Thursday, 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and Friday and Saturday, 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Dinner prices are generally $14 to $20.
“We are all about quality,” said Pozzi. “It’s about consistency and quality ser vice. Everything is a la carte, it’s not a buffet. Quality service may take time but it’s worth the wait.”
Pozzi and his wife Melissa live in Seven Lakes North with their son, Aidan. Hockersmith lives in Foxfire. The Brick Oven Bistro is located in the Seven Lakes Business Village, next to Phoenix Fashion. The restaurant seats forty and reservations are not necessary. Take out is available. They can be reached at 910 - 673 - 1519.
