Want a friendly, local, family-owned neighborhood Italian place? That is what Brother's Encore provides.
The pizza is good NY/NJ pizza that is hard to find in Virginia. The pasta dishes are hearty and delicious. The salads are straight forward but fresh and generous.
The atmosphere is homey with regulars greeted by name.
Brothers Encore has been one of our favorite places for over 20 years. We love the Chicken A la Encore and so many other dishes! Their pizza is a staple of our family Fridays!! Wonderful people that own it and staff it; they’re also generous in the community!

First time visiting this restaurant, and I have to say that that quality of the pizza is really good and cheesy. I’ll consider coming back again.
I recommend this venue for family dining.
The Food is Excellent. Their Pizza is the closest thing to NYC Pizza I’ve eaten since moving to Montclair! The service is amazing & the staff is friendly. My only issue is they don’t sell bottled water! That doesn’t stop me from buying their, I just bring my own bottle of water
Our server was very kind and attentive. The food was delicious and it came out pretty fast. I got the spicy clam in garlic oil pasta which was quite flavorful.
Great food. I have grown up from eating here. Eating inside is a treat. I love the atmosphere and the workers are always nice. When I get delivery Alex B does a great job. Always on time and always have a positive attitude. We love seeing alex deliver the pizza to the family. We love the work you all do. Will recommend and order again :)
Thank you so much being a wonderful host tonight for our high school students homecoming dinner!!
As always, the staff took great care of us and the food was delicious.
See you all soon!
Staff is always sweet and do their best to make sure you have everything you need. The food is always wonderful.
Came here for the first time with my family on a Friday night and it quickly got busy! Clearly a local hot spot. Our waitress was so kind and attentive. She gave my daughter some coins to throw into the adorable wishing fountain in the middle of the restaurant, which made her night. We had 2 appetizers which were just, okay. But the star of the night was our pizza cooked to perfection! We look forward to going back and enjoying more family dinners here. 😊
This is one of our go-tos for pizza night. It's good pizza, love that the menu has a lot of variety for the non-pizza fan in our house. We've eaten in and done take out many times and have never had an issue. Would recommend for a good local feel. Staff is nice, helpful, and they have always been accommodating.
Craving pizza and the chance to be in a restaurant. Havent been to Brothers in probably 10 years, having lived further North for the last decade. I remembered the fountain being an ambient surprise in the unassuming neighborhood strip mall locale.
I was delighted by the better than average 🍕. The flavor blend certainly must come from fresh ingredients and a skillful touch. The only things I'd change would be the wetness of some toppings, as the center of the pie had a soggy bottom, but the wonderfully cooked crust. (which so many places undercook) and topping flavors more than compensated for.
As I am want to do, I noted that the bathroom doesn't have a hook or shelf for coats or purses. Personal preference that is more than often a bonus if it does materialize in establishment.
Overall a neighborhood gem that I am happy has made it through several life cycles of other restaurants and food spots in the shopping end cap of Montclair neighborhood.
The food at this restaurant is
amazing period. All of the sauces are so good! Speaking as a guy who grew up in a an 3 generation Italian family, it's like being back in my Grandma's kitchen, eating of the hook homemade Italian dishes. All the food is great, but the garlic knots are incredible. OMG!
You won't be disappointed.
Had some pizza....Wow! And it was actually really good. You have to check this out...doesn't compare to the franchise cheap ones lol.
Great atmosphere and food. Staff was courteous, welcoming, and engaging. Superb business practice and ethics. Willing to help out and give back to the local community. Would eat here again.
