Jailhouse Pizza: Reviews & Ratings

I'm here to rant about a few things. First and foremost; this place is amazing! The food and service were top tier. The waitresses were so aware of everything going on between drink refills and coming out to check on people and their orders. The food was delicious! I cannot wait to eat here again but i definitely will not be dining in for 2 reasons. 1. People and their kids. Kids were running around tables as people were eating and the mother was taking pictures. Not disciplining her kids. I'm usually not one to judge parents but this was very annoying. Her kids just running around the entire restaurant, running into the wait staff and everything. 2. Entitled men. There was about a 30-45 minute wait due to a big order. But this rude gentleman decided he needed to eat now and not wait. So he came in and started to yell at the staff saying let me talk to the manager. They did allow him to sit and eat before everyone else waiting outside. I think that was very rude and he could wait like everyone else. Just because he knows someone that works there? This is why i took away 1 star. For this entitled a**hole.

Customer service 5/5, ambience 5/5, but I think the best part was the crust and dough. I normally don't like heavy pizzas but this place didn't disappoint. I also never like Hawaiian pizza but they didn't overwhelm the pizza with pineapple matter of fact it complimented the assorted meats on the pie. Overall all three pizzas our group ordered were amazing and I'll for sure make a stop on my next trip to Ft Knox. If you see a spot full of locals on a week night you already know you found a gem.

I've wanted to go here ever since I moved to Louisville. But from my house to here is about 1.5 hours. Well, I had an errand to do that put me about 45 mins away and I was able to talk my wife into going. Well, to me, it was worth it. Cool place that is definitely in an old jailhouse. Makes for cool decor, and you can get seated in a cell. When we went everyone was seated on the other side of the building far from the jail. Oh well, maybe next time. The table for: cheese fries, pickle chips, kids cheese pizza, a giant salad, wings, and the Stromboli. The cheese fries and pickle chips were both pretty good, and it seemed as though everyone orders them. The wings were good. Not spicy, and they looked wimpy, but the flavor was nice. Salad was a good size and came with plenty of goodies within. Daughter ate her pizza without complaint and I enjoyed the Stromboli. Good dough, nice sauce. Waitress seemed attentive and quickly catered to our requests. Other waitresses seemed to do the same. I'd gladly go back and try one of their jailhouse themed pizzas. It was just a cool place with a little grunge to it.

Jailhouse pizza the verdict is in! Tour the jail while your pizza is cooking. Authentic jail cells with real history. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the Ohio river. The pizza came out hot and delicious! Generous toppings. There were six of us so we thought me might need two large pizzas. We ordered an eighteen inch deluxe and a 14 inch prisoners last request. We had to get two boxes to take home the leftovers. They were very filling. If you go before the end of the year be sure to drive through the park below the restaurant, the animated holiday displays are amazing and beautiful. Each display was provided by a local business or family.

This place. Oh man. We have eaten here as a large family unit thee times...twice pre-covid and now once post. SO STINKIN' GREAT! Their crust?! My Texan babies took a bite of crust (JUST the crust!) and said "mmmmm, it's almost like kolache dough!" (If you know, you know; if you don't, do yourself a favor and learn!). Their "Electric Chair!!!" is insane: "WARNING EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!" Is on the menu. No I didn't, but two of our party did (again!!!) and they loved when they ATE it... y'know what I'm saying? They didn't love it later. ...then again OOPS! they did it again! Look...if you are anywhere near Brandenberg, KY...and no I won't ask why you're in Brandberg but I am pretty curious...do everyone a favor and have a Jailhouse Pizza experience. Oh! AND you could eat in a jail cell if that's your jammy jam.
