What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the outdoor atmosphere, calling it “the perfect hangout spot” and “a great place to unwind.” Guests love the brick oven pizza, with favorites like the pepperoni and margherita getting frequent mentions. Many highlight the drink specials and “friendly, upbeat staff.” It's often described as family-friendly by day and lively by night, especially when the live music kicks in.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that weekends can get crowded and noisy, especially during live events—so it’s not ideal if you’re looking for a quiet meal. Seating is mostly outdoors, so it’s weather-dependent, and parking can be a bit tight during big nights.

For concert-goers who want great pizza, cold drinks, and a festive outdoor vibe close to the action, Backyard on Broadway hits all the right notes.
