RedBrick Pizza Tustin California

Always looking for the next great pizza, I decided to try Red Brick Pizza at The District in Tustin. I looked over their menu online and was immediately impressed with the number of options that they had. At Red Brick, you can not only choose your toppings, but you can choose your sauce and crust as well. Red Brick Pizza boasts that they bake your pizza in a 1000 degree oven so that your pizza only takes 3 minutes to bake.
After looking over their menu, I decided to get a large Pepperoni Suprema ($18.00) and a Medium Pizza with Chipotle sauce, Canadian Bacon and Jalapenos ($15.00). I ordered my pizza online using LiveOnTheGo.Com (Use code “GRIFFINEATS” to get $5 off your first order-Many other restaurants to choose from). I asked them to have the pizza ready at 7:00 PM. I drove down to the District and had quite a difficult time finding parking. I finally found a spot and walked over to Red Brick. I walked in at 7:00 PM on the dot. The pizza wasn’t ready, so I stood around for about 10 minutes until it was.
I took the pizza home and opened my large Pepperoni Suprema. I was shocked to see that this “Suprema” hardly had any pepperoni on it at all. The pizza was also pretty small. This did not look like an $18.00 pizza. I grabbed a slice and took a bite. My tongue was immediately attacked by oregano. I am a HUGE fan of oregano, and I even sprinkle it on my pizza sometimes. This tasted like the cook had accidentally spilled an entire gallon of it on to my pizza though. The taste of the oregano was so strong, I couldn’t even taste the pepperoni or the cheese. The crust was also a little dry. I was annoyed that I had paid so much for this pizza. I have had $5 large pizzas that were much better than this.
The second pizza was to be shared by “I” and “V”. They opened their pizza box and found a tiny pizza inside. This “medium” pizza would barely pass for a small at any other restaurant. The pizza was about the size of an individual pizza that you would expect to get at a casual dining restaurant. Both of the girls liked the pizza, but said that the Chipotle sauce was not spicy at all. They also didn’t think the pizza was worth anywhere near the $15 we had paid for it.
Overall, we were all very disappointed with this pizza place. We paid $35.56 for these two pizzas. We would have been much better of going to Pizza Hut, Pacino’s, Ameci or many other pizza places, and we would have spent a lot less. I would not recommend Red Brick Pizza to anyone. The only way I would even consider trying it again, would be if they cut their prices in half…or maybe even by 75%…
In the district, Costco is a better value, with take and bake you can add any exotic toppings you want and have money left over for beer.
eek… well, I used to work at Red Brick Pizza and I can tell you that's not what the pizza is supposed to look like
I agree with you on the sizes, they are a little small. But for example: the Pepperoni Supreme should have a total of 18 pepperonis on it (8 around the edge, 6 following that, and 4 in the middle). It seems like you just found a wrong location because I worked there for over a year and I still like the pizza. Try the salad too. The Chinese Chicken is great!

Yesterday I went to this location to get 2 pizzas to go. The kid who took the order was unprofessional to begin with, and they kept laughing & finally burnt one side of one of the pizzas. Until I confronted they were just gonna give me the burnt one. The new one they made me was strangely tasteless while the other one became completely cold. This place is a joke. GM or Chrysler are not the only ones with quality problems… Too many morons out there got their mouths no different from their anus.
