High Risk

Across the available record, Brewer's Pizza has 12 inspections on file, the first dated 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Apr 20, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around four violations lately and about 15 violations before that.

Across the inspection history, “floor/wall/ceiling/vent soiled/has accumulation of debris” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded four times.

Compared to other Orange Park restaurants (averaging 73), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
