Urban fire is serving the best pizza in the area, hands down. Their pies start with a light and airy, but still substantial crust with just the right amount of wood flavor from the oven. From there you can get a pie of their design or create your own from a long list of toppings that includes the traditional (caramelized onions), innovative (hot honey), and luxurious (pancetta). They also offer the best rice balls I've ever had - Grandma, if you can hear me up there, please forgive me for saying that, but it's true!
The ownership, who is local to the area, has created a homey but sophisticated atmosphere that is family friendly. They even have a full changing table and waste bag dispenser in the restroom. The restaurants walls are full of old family pictures. And to top it off, it's BYOB and there's lot parking.
Give Urban fire a try and you won't want to eat any other pizza again.
Urban Fire is an amazing little place with big taste. Their "build your own" pizza's are fresh and delicious. The Tortufo was my favorite!! Anthony is a sweetheart and couldn't have been nicer!! The zeppoles dipped in Nutella was a great way to finish the night! Thanks for a great dinner!!!
I attended a tasting event here and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The food was terrific. I'd go back just for the hot honey! It was great on all the pizza flavors we tried but it was especially good on the blanco slice. And the zeppoles with Nutella were the best I've ever had!
This place has a very simple, industrial look. You order at the counter and Pizza is made on order. The style is typically Neapolitan. Thin crust, high temperature oven. Excellent Marinara (no cheese) and margherita.
Great local spot. Owner was super excited about his business and pleasing his customers. The pizza was great, too.
Personal sized wood fired pizzas. Delicious, lots of toppings white or red pies.
Incredible pizza. Proper oven makes all the difference. Really enjoyed the variety of toppings.
Neat place! First time there and the owner told us about the menu. Everyone is so nice. And the prosciutto is amazing!
This pizza restaurant had a delicious crust, and might have been the first time that I'd ever eaten more than 3 slices if pizza. However, I gave this restaurant 4 stars because of the drink options. They had machine where you could pick your own drink(they must've had 100 options) which I thought was really cool. Unfortunately, almost all if the drinks were unavailable, and instead of trying a new drink I had water. I would definitely recommend this place, as long as they refill the machine.
The place has a great ambiance, the owner Anthony is super friendly, and the entire staff is very attentive and friendly as well. A perfect example of how a business should be run. We tried a few things, but the pizza is obviously why we came here. By far the best pizza in the area. I've been to so many pizza restaurants...local, NYC, Brooklyn, Italy, Balkans..this pizza is definitely top 3. I would recommend trying a pizza with prosciutto, olives and mushrooms.
EXCELLENT WOOD OVEN PIZZA!!! Thin, crispy and fresh toppings all come together to bring that wood oven flavor out. Service is fast and staff are friendly and hard working. The location is very clean and has a rustic modern feel to it. And it’s a family owned restaurant, which is always a plus. Sit down or take it to go, it’s all good!
~Side note, I’ve been in the pizza business all my life, so I know a good pizzeria when I see one. You won’t be disappointed here. Feels good to find excellent pizza away from home.
I like Urban Fire but I'm not ecstatic about it. You really have to like this style (Neapolitan) of pizza too love Urban Fire. I will say I love the service, and the restaurant itself is always a great experience. The decor has a nice industrial and reclaimed wood look. So if you're looking for a more authentic Italian pizza, Urban Fire is a great place to go. As for me, I will continue to visit when I'm in just the right mood.
