Firecracker Pizza & Beer

I feel like this place is a little hidden treasure that should get more attention. Stopped in after a movie and had to make the difficult choice of which beer to select. The have 66 taps(if I remember correctly) and well, pizza. Most of the "named" pizzas have a few ingredients on it that may sound gross or just completely new but trust the process! I had the Rocky mountain thigh pizza and it was soooo good! Especially with the added benefit of the "fire bar" which is basically just a buffet of hot sauces you can elect to use. Also, take a trip to the restroom! I don't think I've ever been so amused by a bathroom. It's just a sight to see. I can't explain it. Just do it. Or don't if you're super uptight, you'll probably hate it lol

Went in for lunch on a Monday. Nearly no one in here which is surprising considering the selection of beer and the high quality of food. I’m not from the area, so perhaps the location isn’t conducive to a busy lunch hour. My only grip was the young couple that brought their noisy toddler, but I certainly don’t hold that against the establishment.

A recent addition to the Grove, Firecracker Pizza offers a distinctive menu with some unusual pizza toppings and pairings (such as roasted potatoes, Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut, crushed wasabi peas). They make their own meats, and they have a little bar of hot sauces (hence the name). The service was very good, pizza was tasty, prices are reasonable, and it had a cool ambiance. Fits perfectly into the Grove!

This best thing about this place, after the service, is the beer. The selection is well-curated and varied. If you like beer, you will find something you love. The pizza is good. I enjoyed mine a lot, but the my wife did not. She had some kind of Indian-inspired eggplant pizza, and that is simply not necessary. It's perfectly okay to have a veggie pizza, or even a veggie sausage pizza. Our first trip was right after they opened, and we stopped in yesterday for a beer and it was great, so we are definitely giving them another chance for food. Hope to revise this to five stars soon!

We came here for lunch because the Atomic Ciwboy was closed for kitchen maintenance and I'm very happy we did. There is a lunch special for $10 that includes a slice of pizza and a choice of salad. (Unfortunately, the slice of pizza is whatever is available at the time. The salad was made fresh and was delicious with crisp lettuce, fresh cheese and flavorful bacon. The pizza is thin and crispy and the toppings are generous and as fresh as the salad. The beer selection was extensive and along with cocktails had very interesting names. Being lunch on a workday, I personally wasn't able to sample any alcoholic beverages. Waitstaff is friendly and helpful, but not over the top about it. The entrance is very odd with two steps to get in. The music seemed current and upbeat with enough volume you could listen, or talk with your dining companions. Highly recommend and I will be back!
