We ordered a pepperoni pizza to-go from here because a friend recommended it. It was amazingly tasty! Definitely my favorite pizza that I've had in a long time! Highly recommended...I'll eat here again soon and I live about 30 minutes away from Hershey!

After learning that all the fancier restaurants on Chocolate Ave had three-hour waits despite it being an arctic-cold night in the middle of the winter, my family ended up at Brickers. They were fairly busy too, but, the pizza smelled great and we found a table. The casual atmosphere worked for us--my kids happily played pinball while we waited for... More

We have eaten pizza from Brickers before and it was good but this time it was not good. It took 2 1/2 hours to have pizza delivered and it tasted like paper. Website displayed a $16 price but deliveryman said it was $31. I don't think we will patronize them again.

I travel through Hershey on a regular basis for business. I try to stop at Brickers as often as possible. The pizza is great. The tables chairs and floor could use a makeover. However, if you are looking to bring a 12 year old soccer team of boys into a safe place...this is it. nothing to break, no big deal... More

We have been here before and was so looking forward to eating there again on 12/30/12. We went there to get dinner before heading back to hotel for the Redskins game....HAIL! They were closed! We were so disappointed. They do have good pizza so will have to wait until our next visit to Hershey.

The old world pizza is SOOOO good. The sauce is sweet and made with provolone cheese. The crust is light and tasty. The decor is old and needs help (but it is a pizza joint I suppose!).

Sit on the bar side...it's more fun! Grab a pitcher of beer and enjoy! Chuck is the owner on site, make sure you tell him you are new and say hello!

Nice small family run pizza joint with all the fixins......pizza,stromboli's etc....... To me, the crust IS the pizza and this place has a thin crispy crust that will compare to most any... Food was good, price was fair.... We will definetly put bricker on our place to grab a bite in hershey list.

This place has amazing portions, delicious food and great people. The stromboli ordere by a friend was a small that was larger enough to serve 6 additional people. Owner is very people oriented. Friend with said their pizza was better than Papa Johns pizza. Great atmosphere needs some updating but food is great

Pizza slices were huge and it was think crust, which we like. Bit greasy, but some people do enjoy that. Had a huge salad that we shared. Offered beer, which hubby gladly drank.
