Carlucci's Brick Oven Trattoria & Pizzeria

Tatiana was absolutely amazing. Such a wonderful server with such high knowledge of wines. So considering of our newborn baby and has made our dinner at this place truly wonderful experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic! The food at Carlucci's is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked! Every item we ordered was delicious! The service was warm and attentive, and the family atmosphere has that classic, welcoming Italian vibe. A must-visit if you're in Pompano Beach!

Great spot for some of the best Italian food you could ever want. The Mrs had black seafood linguini & said, " it's the best I had, better than a restaurant in waikiki". That says it all folks. You should come, period. Paula was our server, she was great!!!

Very quaint place with authentic food and great service. Anything under 5 stars just feels disrespectful. Below, I have Lasagna and bread. The portion is much larger in person. I also had a fantastic gnocchi, but the photo did not save. Perhaps when I come back to Florida, I can post a proper photo.

Great family run Italian restaurant The Gorgonzola apple chicken salad was very good The presentation showed they really care about what they put out. The pizza was very good very nice sauce with quality cheese. I prefer a crisper firmer undercarriage but that's not to say that this isn't good pizza it was very good We will definitely return. I have to cut this short as my wife is having a sneezing attack but she is getting a lot of God bless yous.

Beautiful seaside location, with a nice peaceful ambiance. I visited yesterday to order a meal to go. The young man working the register was super friendly so I was glad that I gave the opportunity beyond the young lady hostess, who was a bit dismissive, not wanting me to sit in one of the 7 open areas outside, while I decided on what I wanted. I felt rushed and picked Bucatini alla Norma, and I don’t even like eggplant! I thought after ordering okay I can pick it out but it was kinda the feature of the dish. The pasta was so big that the sauce was nearly non-existent. If I hadn’t felt rushed I’d have asked if the dish featured angel hair, as I don’t even like larger sized pasta. The girl in the front definitely tainted my experience of what is likely excellent cuisine!

This place kicks ass! It's not huge, but has seating inside and outside. The waitress was extremely friendly. There were 4 of us eating and everyone was extremely happy, we all ordered different meals. The appetizers were also excellent. Meat balls and bruschetta were awesome. See pics of the meals, everything was excellent.

I was eating at a nearby restaurant and I saw food from Carlucci’s coming out and it just looked mouthwatering. I just had to go back and get some for myself. It was a great idea. Great tasting pizza. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

If you are looking for Italian near the beach, Carlucci's is your place! It's casual with large portion sizes and some very friendly servers. We showed up, starving, just about 40 minutes before they were ready to close. But they welcomed us just like it had been much earlier in the day and for that I was thankful as my friend needed some food in his stomach! We ordered the chicken parmesan with pasta and the spaghetti Bolognese. All entrees come with garlic rolls that lived up to their name. I also had a small salad that was good. Portion sizes were huge and I had a couple more meals from the pasta and the chicken. If you drive, there is street parking out in front, or if you park in the back like we did, they will validate your parking. All in all they did a nice job. I'd like to come back and see how they do with pizza and this seems like just the kind of place you'd sit outside with pizza and a beer watching the beachgoers stroll by.

Stopped in for a late dinner of beer and pizza! Restaurant was quiet when we walked in but picked up within 10 minutes or so. The server was polite and friendly and quickly brought us our beer after ordering. We ordered the large ricotta meatball pizza. Delicious!

Came here on a whim after a long day, and we just wanted a pizza for dinner. I'm glad we did. It's so near the beach in a small building housing a few small shops. We were welcomed in and seated. The place smelled great. We ordered a medium pizza and some drinks. The pizza came out and was great, with nice thin and crisp crust, tasty sauce and generous toppings. I'm adding it to my list of places to go in. Pompano Beach!

Coming off the beach with the family we were looking for some place to eat. We were driving by and decided to give it a shot and we are all very happy that we did. My wife had the eggplant parm hero and my daughter had a chicken cutlet with mozzarella and broccolirab a d I shared a pizza with my youngest. Oh and we got the garlic knots to start. The table was very silent while we were eating because our mouths were full The service is a 10++++ from the professional and hospitality side and aware and on top of everyone's needs!

Stopped by on a whim for pasta and had a bowl of spaghetti alla vodka, as options were limited without beef or pork. The portion was huge. The sun-dried tomatoes in the pasta were really good! We also had a calzone that was good but could use a bit more crisp. They also brought out garlic knots that were tasty. We sat outside following rain so it was tough to gauge ambiance, but seemed authentic and family oriented. Lots of folks were ordering pizza.

Always come here while in Pompano... The service and the food has been fantastic all 5 times I've come. Pizza is fantastic and the seafood pastas I've tried have all been incredible. Best garlic rolls. Always too stuffed to try dessert but it looks just as good

Stopped by this place that is literally yards from the beach and found it empty on a Tuesday early afternoon, but within an hour, it filled up inside and the sidewalk seating. They have beer on tap, bottles and mixed drinks. The pizza dough is too thing for me and dosent hold the all the toppings a day the sauce is a bit salty or the meat. This seems like a nice local place that serves pasta, pizza, salad and the rest of the supporting dishes.

Found this place randomly on yelp and thought hey let's go try it. The food was mid. The location was in a good spot close to the beach walking distance to the pier. The owners and the server who helped us was super nice. But we ordered a pizza that had so much sauce and cheese i could only take two bites of it. Also our pasta had pasta that was more a mush. Also the meat quality was very chewy. Would i come back. Probably not but hey food is food

I love the pizza! They do delivery through uber eats. The salads are great too! The price is reasonable.

Carlucci's has been here for 10 years and the flavors taste like it too.. a little outdated and sloppy the pizza was falling apart the pasta noodles disintegrated in my mouth - over boiled, the chicken parm sandwich was the best thing there and even that was still a 3/10 stars. Unfortunate cuz the employees are cool but then again I'm just a walking review and this was my opinion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The server greeted us with a warm welcome and was very attentive. We had the calamari with a delicious red sauce. We also had the chicken parm and the meatballs. The meatballs melt in your mouth. Incredible experience. Would recommend.

Food was delicious and the staff is so friendly. I would recommend stopping by if in town.

I loved this pizza!! I was so surprised to get good pizza in FL coming from NJ. I had the meatball, peppers, onions and ricotta pizza. It was delicious!! Perfect crust, good sauce and good amount of toppings. I am mad I forgot to use the Yelp check in discount but it's okay. They are open pretty late so it was a nice late night pizza on the beach. The prices are average. I would definitely come back. I wish they offered selling slices like they do in NJ, but good thing I was with other people. I would definitely come back!!

Great food, great service! Great people! Amazing views of the ocean next door. Our food was fantastic! I can't wait to come back

Carlucci's pizza just save me money. Took me to NY one bite at the time. Will come back soon.

Great beach side restaurant. Friendly staff and good food. Prices are very reasonable and good size portions too. I will be back.

Came into town planning to host a small party for family and ran into several problems which landed us in a different rental. Carlucci's was able to fill our surprise next-day catering order. I continued to run into problems when the bank declined my out-of-town charge. Luckily the service with Carlucci's was exceptional and everything was handled and we had our food for the surprise party delivered and tasty. The staff absolutely saved the trip for us!

Good pizza. Good service. We had a traditional pepperoni pie and it was very good. I def recommend if you are in the pompano beach area.

Food and service were fantastic! Good portions for the price, very good taste and quality, had the Greek salad and the lasagna/ outstanding. Waitress/ staff was polite, knowledgeable and caring.

Enjoyed having a great dinner outdoors. The service was great and the food was even better

Penne ala vodka tastes like marinara. Very disappointing. Ordered regular chicken parm for kids to split. It was not enough. Ordered two more kids meals and they were as big as the adult size. Waitress did not offer any advice while ordering and we said it was for the kids. Disappointing for sure.

On vacation in Pompano Beach and picked up a Veggie Bomb pizza to-go. Pizza was outstanding! Veggies were char grilled which added to the flavor of the pie. Crust was unbelievable, stayed crisp which is not always the case with a veggie pizza and also had a great chew to it. Would highly recommend Carlucci's if you want a great pizza.

Ate here with the family and had a wonderful time! The staff was super welcoming and friendly. Pizza was exactly how I like it. Perfect location to eat close to the beach and the pier. 10/10 would recommend and will be returning!

Absolutely loved Carlucci's! An amazing experience! Food quality and service was second to none. Looking forward to trying everything on the whole menu. Best Sicilian I've had in Florida - coming from a Sicilian.

Very good Italian Resturant just a short 1 mile walk from my Residence Inn hotel going south. Instead of North. Avoided ruby's by the sea Italian since having bad quality food and terrible service there. This place Carlucci's is so much more professional and better quality of service..and food! DeAnna my server did an outstanding job and was friendly and attentive. Look forward to coming back again during my weeks stay in Pompano Beach!

Had a great pizza here with my wife on our last night. Jonny, our server was very personable and we enjoyed getting to know about his life. We had been in Italy earlier this year and the pizza here was just as good as some of the best that we had in Tuscany. You definitely want to stop in. If you are in the area, you will not be disappointed!

The calamari was cooked perfectly. The cheese and crust of the pizza were authentic and delicious. The service was friendly and helpful. The meal was served promptly.

If your looking for some real authentic Sicilian food in Florida, I recommend Carlucci's. Husband and I were on a trip to Florida, we were out in Pompano Beach and hungry. Looked at a few reviews and this restaurant had some real good ones. Upon walking in, we were greeted and seated fairly quick. Restaurant had a nice and friendly atmosphere. My husband and I wanted to order appetizers and our lovely server suggested the Rice Balls, she told us they were a popular Sicilian appetizer. Since we never had them, we took her suggestion and found them amazingly good. She suggested the meatballs and they were served with fresh ricotta, I'm not a fan either one, however, the meatballs had a lot of flavor and together with the fresh ricotta, very delicious. Everything was amazing!! We shared a pizza and the Penne Alla Gorgonzola, everything was good!! The garlic rolls were fresh made too. Our server was delightful, she told me they were family owned. We definitely plan to come back when we're in Florida again.

Came here recently this week New pizza with vodka sauce and hot honey it was out of this world!!! Atmosphere was incredible, Out of this world customer service. Amazing pizza packed full of flavor. Huge Variety of food staff will make you welcomed can't wait to come back and try more!

Pizza dough made fresh in their open kitchen! Food is great and the location on the beach is so fun!

I was down in pompano Beach for a vacation, and I was relatively hungry after a day of lounging on the beach. Then I stumble apon Carlucci's. The place didn't look too busy and I can never turn down a good pie so I decided to give it a try. Before I get into my food review, I will say the service is spot on, and the restaurant is super clean, reminds me of a pizzeria back home in Dallas. I decided to get the spicy vodka sauce pizza as they said it was a newer menu item, The vodka sauce is actually pretty good I've never had one on a pizza and it works very well. I even love the drizzle of hot honey on top. Of course when I got my pizza it was piping hot which is a great sign, I definitely had to let it cool down for a minute. The cheese pull was off the chain. If I ever come back to pompano Beach I will definitely come back to carlucci's.

A pleasant place to dine near the beach. Friendly and professional service. We went for the pizza. Delicious toppings, great flavors, thin crust but it was undercooked. Crust was soft, not crispy. Had to send it back to be cooked properly. Ask for it well done or extra crispy. Saturday night so it was busy but was hoping for some good pizza. Hmmm. House salad was delicious with fresh ingredients and we added extra blue cheese crumbles. House vinaigrette is thick and could have used more. We enjoyed Peroni on tap and a glass of wine.

Friendly staff and traditional Italian offerings. Garlic bread was fluffy and full of flavor. I liked that they had individual sized pizzas. The cannolis were off-the-hook.

The kale mixed salad is absolutely DDDDELISHHHHH!!!!! A must try. For those needed more protein I would add a second grilled chicken to it since only one grilled chicken won't be enough. It's so DELISH that I actually had it 3x this week making today my 4th time having it! Lol... In prep season so I can't have the pizza (yet) but I've had it before and definitely the best pizza to have in the local area. Another plus is the fact that you are steps away from the beach so why not right. We had a killer workout, had a DELISH salad and now we sit and people watch on the beach. Very clean and the staff are super nice. A must try to locals!!! Forgot my phone in my gym bag so could not take pics of my awesome salad. Next time. I'm sure I'll be here a few times this week again. Lol.

Rude waitress We were regular customers but won't be back and will not recommend Heavy set older women is terrible

We had lunch here near the beach. It's a casual place inside. Parking is in a metered spot out front. They had quite a few lunch specials from which to select -- all reasonably priced. We decided to order two of them and share. We got their two pizza slices and a soda and their half sub with salad combo. We had half of each. There may have been a slight language problem. We asked for the onions on the side for the salad -- and there were none. We asked for the pizza to be well done, but it wasn't. The two slices of cheese pizza were large. The crust was a bit crunchy. It would have been even better a bit more cooked, but still decent. The salad was fresh. I especially liked the large green olives added in to the usual mix. For our half sandwich, we got the meatball parmigiana sub. The bread was good;there was sufficient melted cheese on top. The meatball wasn't my favorite. I think I would have preferred the chicken one. All in all, if you're looking for a quick casual lunch near the beach in Pompano at under $10, you'll find a lot of options here.

I am 100% shocked by any review that is less than 5 stars. I grew up in Queens, NYC, and have visited Italy. I have had multiple pizza slices in my lifetime. This pizza had a phenomenal crust, a tangy sauce and the cheese is melted perfectly. Look no further, as this is as good as it gets in Pompano, FL. You will not be disappointed.

Overrall experience was delicious. We sat inside, it was pretty loud but TV wise. Service was good and food was good. My aunt and uncle came back day after for pizza and they were very pleased how delicious it was. If anybody knows the pasta de pear is a delicacy so if you aren't opposed to a little sweetness and white sauce I highly recommend!

This is the best food I have ever had. I made a yelp account just to review this place. It has the best environment and the workers are so friendly, I would probably move to florida just to come to this restaurant again!!

We had a hankering for Italian and had seen this place the night before when we dined nearby. We grabbed an outside table. Our server seemed inexperienced and not very attentive. I ordered the meatball sub - they didn't have ciabatta bread so got it on focaccia. It was pretty good but needed more sauce which I asked for and got. I had a side salad which came out with the sandwich instead of before. The bigger issue is that my wife ordered their meat lovers pizza and it did not come out of the kitchen until 15 mins after I got my sandwich. We inquired on what was going on but the waitress had no explanation. The pizza itself was fine but nothing special. Look elsewhere for Italian in Pompano Beach...

Wow this place really surprised me. Sometimes you hit these beach places and they are garbage.... But this place was excellent. Eggplant rolatini excellent Wife and friend had shrimp pasta and they loved it.... I had chicken parm and it was excellente..... had to try the tiramisu.... It was perfection. Definitely recommend.

We ordered take out after a fun day at the beach. 2 medium pizzas a margarita and a prosciutto arugula one. We also ordered a meatball Stromboli. It was delicious. Glad we live so close can't wait to get more yummies from here

Ordered the Eggplant Carlucci and I think my expectations were a little too high. It is essentially eggplant with tomato and spinach topped with mozzarella cheese. It came with a sode of pasta and rolls. Definitely a plus that this meal is share able. Ordered this to go and my friend and I were able to share it. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the service was friendly. The location is also great as it is right next to the beach. Based on the reviews ill be back but will likely try the pizza.

Rating out of 10: 2.5 The pizza here is nothing to write home about. 3-4 dollars for a single cheese slice... I've had better dollar slices than here I would not recommend to a friend and the service isn't great. The employees were rude

The Margerhita here is one of the freshest and best in the area. It's a staple for me to go to when here and I'm here quite a bit. Don't miss a stop here.

On the door, it says "closes at 10 pm" on any day except Saturdays. We tried to walk in at 9:30 pm and a waitress came and just flipped the closed sign in our faces and then laughed from inside the restaurant. Iv eread other reviews saying they are far more professional then other restaurants in the area but this type of attitude towards your restaurant makes you seem like you dont like business or work. Half an hour before you close is too much. Hopefully you guys in the restaurant read this and know who you are. Congratulations on 1 star and loss of customers on a busy holiday night.

Horrible hostess, nasty and incompetent. Server was good and is just okay. Inside is cramped and outside is noisy and dirty.

the services wasn't good. the food was insipid, and when we inform the waiter, I believe was the chef who came out the kitchen and star yelling to us saying to leave the place if we didn't like the place. this is not the way to treat customer.

Took 35 to 40 minutes for our medium pizza margherita to come out. That really disappointed me, food is ok.
