Brewport in Bridgeport Draws Mixed Reviews for Pizza and Atmosphere
Bridgeport, CT – Brewport, a local brewery and pizzeria in Bridgeport, Connecticut, is generating a range of opinions from patrons, according to recent reviews. While consistently praised for its craft beer selection and overall ambiance as a gathering spot, opinions diverge on the quality of its New Haven-style pizza and the attentiveness of its staff.
Several reviewers highlighted Brewport as a “great spot” and a place they repeatedly return to. One patron specifically lauded the pizza as “excellent,” and “definitely one of the top pizza in the area.” Another reviewer emphatically stated that the pizza is “one of the best in all CT,” and praised the beer selection, calling it “always a great choice.”
However, not all experiences were uniformly positive. One reviewer noted the aesthetic of the establishment as “fantastic – clean, modern, and well thought out,” but found the atmosphere to be lacking. They described a disconnect between the visually appealing space and the energy of the staff, stating it “just lacks that welcoming personality to pull everything together.”
The pizza itself also received mixed feedback. While acknowledged as “decent and definitely edible,” one reviewer, unfamiliar with New Haven-style pizza, found the cut of the pizza unusual. They also pointed out the price point, noting that a pie costs “nearly $30,” while acknowledging the generous portion size. Another reviewer found the sauce to be “pretty lacking in flavor,” suggesting that the pizza could be “excellent had they just been more flavorful.” They suggested adding garlic as a potential improvement.
Beyond pizza and beer, Brewport appears to be a popular destination for those attending events at nearby venues. One reviewer specifically mentioned it as a “nice spot in Bridgeport to grab a bite before you catch a show or a hockey game,” noting that it gets “VERY busy” during events at the amphitheater or arena. They also highlighted the availability of Athletic, a non-alcoholic beer option, as a “nice plus.”
The establishment’s industrial vibe and simple menu of pizzas, salads, and drinks were also mentioned positively. One reviewer described the pizzas as having a “thin, crispy crust with just the right amount of char.” Service was generally described as friendly and attentive, with one server proactively informing customers about the size of the antipasto platter.
Despite some criticisms regarding the pizza sauce and staff energy, the overall consensus suggests Brewport remains a popular destination in Bridgeport. One reviewer summed up their experience by stating they would “absolutely” return, “just probably after dinner next time.”
Brewport is located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and offers a variety of craft beers and New Haven-style pizza. The brewery also provides a small parking lot for patrons who prefer not to park at the arena.
