scratch brick oven

this is the only place i buy pizza from in jc. i love the fresh ingredients (the apples are a surprise) and baked goods. wish bread was still available, but will keep coming for the pizza. we haven't gone anywhere else since trying.

heaven in a cardboard box! best pizza i've had in jc.

scratch is awesome.. just circle trust. this place has great vibes, and i have traded records for pizza. all of their ingredients are super fresh, every thing here is delicious.

this place has a great vibe. we drove past it at first, not realizing it would be in a house. i got excited just walking up to it. we tried the "limited trust" pizza, and it was fantastic. from the do-it-yourself music (all vinyl), the honor system drinks, the staff, and of course the pizza! i highly recommend it!

fun people - good food. even if you don't like pizza, a visit here is worth your time. and if you do like pizza, scratch's is very good. take some time to stop by and enjoy food and ambience unlike any of the zillion chain restaurants in johnson city. eat local!

best pizza in the tri-cites hands down! trust me and gets the trust pizza!

maybe the pizza is delicious, but don't trust any thing from the walk-in cooler. steer clear.. they don't date any of their products or rotate them. former employee of two years.

adult pizza. what a wonderful place. they have a record player and you get to choose the album to play for the dining room. quirky decor makes for interesting browsing while you're waiting for your pizza.

you can order three ways, trust, limited trust and build your own. one of the friendly cooks took time to explain to us the order process. with trust you take what you get. they decide what goes on your pizza based on what they think you will like. limited trusted you pick some ingredients you have to have and eliminate to toppings you don't want. they decided to add toppings they think will make it the best pizza. you build is just what it sounds like.

we picked our topping that included andouille sausage, smoked chicken and grannie smith apples. the crust was not too thick and the sauce was good. the pizza is served in a box and cut into squares. a good pie that was worth the calories.

the kitchen is open and in view of the dinning room. the wood fired oven is outside the house so even on a the hot day we visited you could feel the heat. the dinning room is oddly shaped with nooks and crannies and a little crowded. the staff is friendly and helpful. parking is tight behind the building so find a spot on the street. if it's a nice day outside there are several uncovered picnic tables outside. boyb and enjoy the pizza.

best pizza in the tri. by far the best and freshest pizza i have ever had. be prepared to wait. bring your own beer or drink and relax. the atmosphere is a little scetchy, but the pizza is out of this world. try the trust or limited trust pizza. you wont be disappointed.

scratchin' your head!. stopped in to this spot on the urbanspoon review.
very bizzare and interesting concept. be prepared to park on the street and walk a few feet. don't even try to park behind the shop, pretty dicey proposition.

the menu: one size pie, any and all toppings, one price!

the concept was quickly explained by the dread locked, rasta styled and friendly staff. a order of their pesto bread sticks were excellent with a fantastic homemade marinara dipping sauce. ice cold soda's in bottles or byob.
the order sheet has a option for a "trust" or "limited trust" option where you let the pie maker choose the toppings! a little too much trust for my liking, but the locals we talked to said it always seems to work out.

the dining room is a bit choppy and the rasta music (an old lp player in the main dining room) in our corner was blaring. a quick word with the staff and they toned it down.
overall, very good pie!
i am glad we got there before the saturday night push. because of the wood oven, the pies were stacked on hold in the "outdoor, screened in patio" waiting for a turn in the oven. it could be quite a wait.

wow!!!. just tried this place for lunch today after hearing how good it was. i was a little skeptical, but placed an order for a "trust" pie, and wow is all i can say! this place is amazing, best pizza i have ever had, and that is the truth! cant wait till supper to finish my lunch!!

i cannot stress how amazing this stuff is!. so, i'd heard that scratch had the best pizza in jc. i'm not really that into pizza though. then i tried their pizza and... this stuff is amazing. i have dreams about it. this is what pizza is supposed to be like. yum!

can't wait to go back. scratch brick oven specializes in pizza and artisan bread. i'm not usually so excited about pizza, but this stuff is amazingly good. fresh ingredients, quality dough, and great variety of toppings. i also love the ambience. it's quirky and low-key. i love that they offer interesting alternatives to your average menu- i had orangina with the pizza and chess pie for dessert. you can pick out records to play while you're eating, and the restaurant is byob as well- the even have a fridge to store your drinks.

wow!! check it out asap!. i must say that i was totally surprised by the quality of the pizza at the brick oven. this was probably the freshest and most interesting ingredients that i have ever had on a pizza. this place has an unbelievable list of ingredients that will leave you wanting to try more the next time. i really enjoy their "green curry" based pizza. it is probably the best pizza i have ever partaken in. the atmosphere is extremely laid back and you can byob which can save money if you like to indulge in adult beverages. the brick oven which is located in the back of the structure is what makes everything better. i cannot believe i have not tried this restaurant until now. the scratch brick oven has made it into my top 5 restaurants in the tri-cities area. if you want a fun laid back experience with great fresh pizza look no further that the scratch brick oven! try it and you won't regret it! oh yeah the price is extremely reasonable as well.

awesome pizza!. stopped by sunday afternoon for our first time. wasn't sure what to expect at first, but one of the girls working there explained how ordering worked, etc. the atmosphere was amazing; you just don't see places like this every day. the pizza was great and the ingredients fresh! we'll definitely be back again!
