our story

it only takes a spark

Sparks flew while Founding Partner Eric Horsley was skiing in Colorado in the ’90s. Heading back to Charlotte, Eric shared his idea with his other Partners, Jeff Van Dyke and Barbara Morgan. Together, they conceived of a restaurant that applied fine dining techniques and quality to casual, everyday food. Love of incredible pizza with an ice cold craft beer is universal, so the goal was to keep it low-key and fun while adding a unique style.

But, how do you stand apart from the competition big and small? Simple: just add fire.

Our brick ovens enhance the natural flavors of our fresh ingredients, giving our pizza an amazing wood fired taste. We also bake focaccia bread daily for our to complement our pastas and starters.

We embrace how inventive you can be with pizza, appealing to a range of palates and dietary differences. We offer plenty of vegan, plant-based and gluten-free options. We think everyone deserves to enjoy delicious pizza with those they love most.

Finally, by offering local, regional and national craft drafts and microbrews along with a curated wine selection, Brixx gives you a fresh alternative to your basic pizza and beer.

The first Brixx Wood Fired Pizza + Craft Bar opened in 1998 in the historic Dilworth neighborhood of Charlotte, NC, and we’ve never turned back. We have 20 locations across the Southeast, and franchise opportunities for more.

the best ingredients

We source only high-quality, fresh ingredients to craft our wood fired fare. Each morning, our kitchen team arrives bright and early to make fresh dough, scratch made hummus, our famous Spinach & Artichoke Dip, housemade dressings and more.

When it comes to cheese, we use the finest we can get—made in Wisconsin with milk from farms that have received 5-Star Certifications from the Milk & Dairy Beef Quality Assurance Program™, the highest level of quality that can be achieved. Seriously, who wants to eat pizza from a place that doesn’t respect the power of cheese?
