The Works Brick Oven Restaurant

My review was 9 years old and i think things have changed quite since then! The pizza and food are far better now and the service has been great, always good to have gatherings at this local spot that's been a staple for years. The go to pizza place in Loveland and i love the ambiance and history of this place including the rail car!

I'll start with the good: this place is super cool-situated right in downtown Loveland. The building is a converted firehouse with a train car with additional seating. Our server was sweet and brought out our drinks quickly. We are not from the area, and literally chose this place based on the fact they had reviews mentioning the availability of gluten free options.So here's why the review is not glowing: We told our server we were gluten free, ordered spinach artichoke dip and a buffalo chicken pizza on gluten free crust. The menu specifically mentioned the choice of breaded or grilled chicken (clearly we opted for grilled). The spin dip came out with the mentioned tortilla chips-which were fried flour tortillas, which we couldn't eat. We were offered celery as a replacement and declined, so she brought a cup so we could take the dip to go. Not ideal-but maybe we should have clarified if they were actual corn tortilla chips-she actually had to check with the kitchen when we asked because she had no idea if they were flour or corn. Then our pizza came out and we started eating. About a piece in, I notice the chicken was breaded. When we asked our server about this, she said "let me get the manager". The general manager came over and was somewhat apologetic, but instead of saying that she was sorry, she kept saying how the buffalo chicken comes with breaded chicken. Ok cool, but your menu states it comes with the option of grilled which is what we wanted. She offered to get us something else but after 2 gluten dishes were presented to us and we were the ones that had to discover they were gluten, we had no confidence in the knowledge of the staff on allergens. I told her we wanted to pay for our drinks and leave. She comped the food and drinks and we left. So maybe their food is good, but it's not good for people with food allergies. I would suggest additional allergen protocol training.

Glad I had a coupon for food, though. It was middle-of-the-road especially for prices. I'd not have been happy if I paid full price (probably 2 stars).As for ambiance, it was open, clean, and unique inside. The patio seating looked great. Unfortunately, we got swarmed by bees at the table we selected.Service--well, when outside we had the bee attack ramping up and our server was inside at her other tables. (My friend and I only ones seated on patio.) When we decided we didn't want to be stung, we went inside, found a server, and were seated indoors. When I mentioned the bees, the new server expressed being aware. I mentioned that would've been nice to know before we were seated outside. (She was different than girl that seated us originally.)Overall, 3 stars is generous for the overall experience.

Came here for lunch with my work team on a weekday and really enjoyed the food and the service.My coworkers all got calzones, which come with a side and marinara dipping sauce. They were very happy with them.I got a side garden salad and a small pizza and really enjoyed both of them.The only downside is that this was a very pricey lunch. My side salad and small, personal pizza was over $18! That is an expensive lunch out. If it was less, we would come here much more often.

The Works Brick Oven Restaurant is a fun, little place for pizza in an old railroad station. We recently went on a early weekday evening and they weren't crowded at all.Service was pretty good and they had an interesting selection of pizzas. Our table split the taco pizza and the mashed potato pizza, which were pretty good but the pizza fries were the hit of the night! Pizza toppings on top of french fries was surprisingly good.

This location is perfect, we ate dinner then took a nice walk around downtown Loveland. The building is an old firehouse which is so cool. They even have a train where you can sometimes eat inside it. Since the weather was nice we had dinner outside. Food and service were great!

With only a 3.5 rating on Yelp, I went here not expecting much and was still a little disappointed. Our server did a great job, but the food was just underwhelming. Our table split the pizza fries, a potato pizza, and a taco pizza. I didn't really enjoy any of the dishes but the rest of the table liked the fries.I do have to say that the building was cute and it was fun to check it out while in Loveland.

service was great and we were sat right away on a friday at 1! parking was a little hard but that is always the case. we started with the appetizer sampler and it was pretty good. it was pretty large which was nice and the mozz sticks were the tables favorite. everything was fried. overall 8/10. we also all got drinks and i got the blueberry mojito that was not super good. tasted like blueberry water. probably would give 4/10. for lunch i got the works pizza with bacon instead of pepperoni and a side of ranch. it was pretty tasty and very filling! would get again and the ranch was so yummy i could drink. our friends got the chicken bianca and would rank it 7/10. my husband got the bbq chicken pizza and said he probably wouldn't get again and the ratios were off. too much bbq not enough chicken. 6/10.

Food is delicious. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is really relaxed.

Went for burger week and tried the cheeseburger pizza after a bike ride on the trail. Great spot for sitting outside. All was excellent!
