Went with my son for his last day of Summer Vacation before starting his senior year at Roger Bacon. The Pizza was hot and delicious. Service was outstanding. The entire place is clean and definitely inviting. Check out the Chicago style root beer when you go. Definitely a new favorite place. read more

Fireside is a gem in the up and coming neighborhood of Walnut Hills. They knew it was cool before we did. Situated in an old firehouse. But on to the good, the pizza, it's so good! A perfectly woodfired pie, they have a seasonal option which are always great. (They have a hanky panky seasonal) Full bar, with a craft bsee selection and spirits. You go to the bar to order, then wait for them to bring out deliciousness. read more

The atmosphere at Fireside is the coolest, most chill atmosphere ever. It's exactly what I like in a restaurant. You place your order, get super quick and friendly service, then chill on your own for the rest of the time. I personally love places with no waiter service. There are old arcade games, good music playing and the building itself is really cool. This is definitely a great addition to East Walnut Hills. read more

Fireside is ALWAYS my go-to pizza night. The staff is always great and super friendly. They typically have a nice bottle/draft beer selection. All the pizza is delicious but we typically get a small pesto + sausage and a small seasonal pizza. I've never had a seasonal pizza I didn't like but there is one that I wait all year for ... THE HANKY PANKY PIZZA! It's literally heaven on a pizza. It's topped with the perfect meaty/cheesy/onion mix and an oil sauce. If you're lucky, it's still on! read more

Awesome pizza, awesome atmosphere, awesome employees! I love everything about this place! First of all, they're located inside an old firehouse a la Ghostbusters. You can seat yourself and check out the menu, then order at the counter when you're ready. They offer a variety of microbrews so grab one to enjoy with your pizza. The pizza is so tasty and you can probably finish a 9-inch pie by yourself. Parking isn't bad either, they have a lot nearby. read more

Hipster vibe. Low key. Delicious Pizza. Full Bar. Great value for your money. You order everything at the bar and they brink it to you. Want more drinks? Back to the bar. The pizza is stone fire grilled, so it's thin with some char on the crust. Just the way we like it. We tried the pesto and the garlic sauces. Both were flavorful and a great base for your toppings. Was a little surprised that chicken wasn't a meat option but we stuck to some traditional toppings this time. Wine and Beer selection was good and competitively prized. read more

I love Fireside! It's one of my favorite pizza places in Cincy. Simple, no fuss and not overrated at all. The venue is fun, with plentiful seating that's open to the outdoors. Perfect for good weather :). I shared the large seasonal pizza with a couple friends: pineapple, bacon and this delicious jalapeno salsa. Yumm! read more

Ordered thru uber eats was delivered fast but the order wasn't right. Ordered the redlegger without peppers and it had tons. I checked on line order and we did say NO PEPPERS. The pizza was just ok. Wasn't overly impressed with it. read more

Pretty good pizza, my brother thought it was delicious! I love wood fire pizza and my favorite place is Pomodoris Pizzeria in Montgomery. This is a good alternative with nice customer service and cool atmosphere. I got the white pizza which was pretty good. There is a cheese on it I don't care for but I'm sure others would love it. I give this place a solid 4 for atmosphere, food, and customer service. Give it a try! read more

Service was great-- love that you can just grab a box at the end. Just a small, dumb thing but a nice touch. The pizza was super salty, I'm sorry to say. I got the meat one and couldn't drink enough water after. read more

We left before even ordering because it was so ridiculously cold. The staff didn't seem friendly at all. Never been there before and no one ever came over to us. So we sat ourselves and still no one ever came over. Too cold to stay there and we like to stay cold typically. I dont know if we will ever return. read more

Great diamond in the rough! Not the best area, but the food and service was great! Highly recommend this place!

Stopped by this place with my roommates on a Sunday night to try something different. Definitely a good choice. The restaurant is located in what looks like an old firehouse. It was nice out so they opened the entire front of the building which was cool. My only qualm was the prices, which were a little high and didn't match the Yelp or in-store menus. I got the Greek pizza, which I would definitely recommend. read more

I've had Fireside several time and I have just never been satisfied. The plain pepperoni is honestly the best of the 5-6 I've tried. The other ones, the flavors aren't quite right for pizza... and I like everything on pizza! The sizes are much smaller than what I expected as well. Overall just very OK. Nothing to write home about. read more

Excellent pizza! Convenient parking in lot across the street. We enjoyed the fast, friendly service on a weekday afternoon. My husband and I split a Caesar salad to start, then I had the white pizza and he tried the pesto. Both were excellent. Loved the crust and my only criticism is I thought mine was almost too cheesy! Super-good though- would definitely stop in again. read more

I had very high expectations based on their website, pictures etc. We went for a friends birthday and I was a bit surprised when I realized there is limited service. You have to order at the bar and they bring it out to you, something that honestly would have deterred me from going had I known. The menu online shows they have a Caprice salad, which is what I wanted, only to realize this does not exist there. Their menu board also states they carry a seasonal salad which they did not have. The menu also states they have seafood, oysters, mussels I could go on, needless to say...they also do not have this. I will say the seasonal pizza they currently carry is good, and their crust is also great...I agree w/ a previous reviewer that the rosemary on their white pizza doesn't quite fit but the cheese was amazing. The red sauce on the Margherita was good but it didn't have much mozzarella on it which left more to be desired on my part. Now, to ambiance. It was a bit too bright for my taste and there was live music, which usually I appreciate but it was extremely loud considering there were about 6 people in the place and it made it difficult for our party of 4 to even conversate. I would be willing to try this again, just maybe carry out next time. read more

Really good pizza but I got and delivered and I ordered a regular Coke and a Diet Coke and they put it in plastic cups and didn't mark which was which, which kind of sucks. read more

Previously beloved but a 30 minute wait with no food nor apology and a confrontational waitress crosses this off my list. Tables around us that arrived later received their pies first and when my husband inquired as to why the waitress blew up, obviously lying that our order was just queued up and not forgotten. She then really got nasty when we declined to wait a further 5 minutes and actually yelled and threw up her hands. Ridiculous. read more

For some reason, I came here thinking this was a new location, but upon further discussion with our (very helpful) waitress, I found out they've actually be here for 2+ years. I never really pass through this side of McMillan, so it was easy to be overlooked for so long, but I'm glad I finally discovered it! Fireside a super casual pizza joint situated inside an old fire station (hence the name?) which was super cool and rustic. It was a beautiful night, so they had the garage door open too. They have about six pizzas to choose from plus a seasonal za, and they also have several local/craft brews on tap. The larger pizzas are suitable for sharing, while the smalls are the perfect personal size. Neither my friend nor I had been before, so we did as any newbie would do and asked for our waitress' recommendation. She quickly named her favorites, and told us we could do half and half on each of our personal pizzas (so, we could share with each other and each get to try four zas - genius!) We decided on one Margarita/White Pie and one Redlegger/Pesto Plus with mushroom and Italian sausage. Pesto pizzas get me every time, so I have to say the pesto plus was my fave, but I'm also a sucker for ALL THE CHEESE so the White Pie was a clear standout as well. read more

The first time I ordered a pizza from Fireside was on New Years Eve from Myrtle's. I got the White Pie and they were really prompt delivering the pizza to Myrtles. At that moment I thought I died and went to heaven. I love white sauce pizza and this just hit the spot. The right amount of cheese and still enough bread. The second time my ordered came from Myrtles again but this time I had to go get it myself because they didn't have any delivery drivers. I ordered the same pizza but this time the pizza was dry. I know saying that a pizza was dry probably doesn't make much sense but that's all I could think about. I think the dough wasn't fresh this time or maybe it waited too long for me to come and get it even though I arrived at the exact time they told me it would be ready. Not sure what happened here. But, I did like their little set up on McMillan and would like to visit the actual resturant and check it out. read more

Eclectic decor and a great pie, convenient to UC. Had the Meats pizza and a salad. Nice chew on the crust, and quality cheese. Will be back when in town. read more

We tried this place for a last minute meal on a Saturday. I was afraid of a wait but there was plenty of seating. The atmosphere is really cool- old brick firehouse with a big door that I assume will open in the summer. It's very bright, which was odd, but they ended up dimming the lights later. If sitting at a table, order food and drinks at the bar and they will bring it out to you. So with the food- Two salads to pick from, we got a Caesar, which was plenty for two. For the pizza- there's either a 9" or 14". We got a 14" and had leftovers. For toppings, there isn't an extensive list which was a little disappointing, but we got sausage (real sausage, not balls of disgustingness), pepperoni, and mushroom. I thought about extra cheese but I'm glad I didn't because there was plenty. The crust was thicker than I had expected, but still really good. Nice crunch on the bottom. The pizza itself was awesome! The only thing I will criticize was that the bottom was clearly done before the top, leaving the top lukewarm and not melty enough for me. We had Pabts on tap, $2/pint :) They also have a small but good section of different crafts to try. All in all, a good place and we will be back!! read more

Their crust was as good as anything I've ever tasted. Wood-fired, excellent red sauce. quality ingredients. Great beer (Ommegang and several others) on tap. This place is a winner for fans of great food and drink. read more

The pizza was good and the prices reasonable. The ordering system, however, needs some work. My friend and I each ordered a customized pizza. They both came out with a missing ingredient, even though it was correct on the receipt. While I was checking the receipt for the missing ingredients, I discovered we had been charged for 2 martinis even though we only ordered one. Both issues were corrected quickly and apologetically, but three errors on one bill??? read more

Stopped in with my family for a late dinner. Staff was very friendly and the ordering process was relatively easy. The music selection is excellent, and we loved the Ms Pac Man and Galaga arcade machine. It has a casual and welcoming atmosphere. The wait wasn't too long for our pizzas. The small pizzas were thin and crispy, but the large pizza crust was more chewy. Our meats pizza was very salty, and my son finished a large glass of water with his one slice. The margherita pizza was somewhat on the tart side - though the tomato sauce was excellent, the fresh tomato slices made it more acidic than we would have liked. We had the pesto pizza and vegi pizza as well, and while adequate, nothing really stood out with the toppings. It's a good place for a quick bite, but nothing truly stood out aside from the staff and ambience. read more

Pizza arrived cold with barely any cheese on it or topping - a simple cheese & pepperoni pizza is hard to screw up but Fireside managed to. Bypass this place if you are looking for a decent pizza. read more

Cool atmosphere in an old firehouse! The pizza was good, the crust was nicely done. Beer selection was ok, just limited choices.

Have eaten at this place many times and still amazes me every time. The pizza is amazing and the building is just as amazing. It's in an old firehouse and looks very cool. Best part is that they are now on Uber eats! read more

I've tried their pizza when they have the oven truck at Findlay market but this was my first time at the sit down location. Based on my experience with the truck, I was looking forward to this. We were the only ones on an early Thursday afternoon. Because of that, we had amazing service and super fast pizza. We ordered a pesto pizza with cokes. What I really love about fireside is their generosity. The generosity of their ingredients. I don't have a scientific measure but I'm pretty sure that Fireside uses the most mozzarella per crust thickness in all of the pizza joints. What this means is that you get ultra stretchy mozzarella on their pizza when it comes out of the oven where you get an endless number of strings of mozzarella as you remove your slice from the mothership. This results in an ultra fatty taste of pizza. Combine that with an ultra crispy and tasty crust and you have a pretty damn good pizza. All for $20. You can't beat that. Come to Fireside for a fundamentally great pizza. The staff is super nice. The location is in an old firehouse and they have an arcade version of Galaga. This place is straight out of the 80s and that's fantastic!! There is street parking or a parking lot across the street read more

Great place, fantastic pizza, and just great service! I love coming here with friends, there's always a great option for all of us. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.... read more

I'm a picky as shit when it comes to pizza but this place killed it! Lots of beer/wine super friendly staff, I really like the burnt crust from the fire oven. I will definitely return. read more

Dined here on Saturday night with my husband. When we walked in we noticed how small the place was and how crowded it was. We felt a little weird just looking around trying to snag the next empty seat. A group that was waiting for a table thought it was a good idea to stand up right next to our table while we were eating, so we got to look at their backsides while we ate our salad. Ceasar salad was big enough for my husband and I to share and we also shared a small pesto pizza. I think next time we will probably just do carry-out, the place is a bit too small and very loud, but the food was really good. read more

After reading reviews I had expectations of great pizza in a fun atmosphere with a good brew or two. The pizza was decent. Not the best but enjoyable. The beer was limited to four tap choices, but decent ones. The big negative here is the ordering process. You walk up to the bar area and hope that either the line is short or you get acknowledged by staff. There is not a good, efficient flow happening there. The food came up fast () but when I returned to the bar to replenish my beer, a regular had to get the attention of the bar keep so I could order (). After I ordered she proceeded to clean the bar up after the last patrons before pouring my beer (). What makes and breaks an establishment for me is kind, attentive service. They failed on that tonight. There's lots of places to get good pizza in town and a plethora of brew pubs. Very doubtful I'll spend any more money here. read more

Went to Fireside Pizza this past Saturday eve with friends. Had a great time. Food was yummy, service was efficient. It was an energetic atmosphere. My only recommendation is to add some sound proofing. Being in a garage, well seems like you are in a garage... noting to absorb some of the other diner's energetic conversations. A fun place though and great to see in this area that has been blighted for so many years. Glad to see Walnut Hills coming back! read more

Great pizza! Lively, casual atmosphere! Great service and prices! My go-to for eat in pizza.

Tried this place while in the area. Very good pizza. Had the pep and sausage. Very fresh and great taste. Not like the chain style places. You can taste the pride in the pie. I am a pizza hound and this place stands out. read more

We went here tonight on a whim. We went with a wide array of eaters-- some vegetarians, some meat eaters, and some who simply love craft beer--when we left, everyone was thoroughly satisfied with everything they had consumed. The food was incredible; the beer selection had everything from a variety of Sours to beers brewed and served locally in Germany. The bartender was awesome, and she painstakingly went over all the beer options with us, even as we inundated her with questions. To set the entire night off, we were surprised when a giant group of comedians came in to practice their weekly skits. It made the night that much more fun. The staff at Fireside welcomed them with open arms, and it made the night one we wouldn't forget. Highly recommend this place. Ohh, and watch carefully for it if you visit. Apparently a lack of signage in the front makes the appeal that much more significant, and it is easy to miss ;) read more

The ambience is one for the books. Every detail was well executed, from the record cover system and refills are easy to access. Food was delicious although it did take awhile, it was well worth the wait. The pepperoni was the best, wild recommend. read more

Incredible service, very cool space, and simply the best pizza in Cincinnati. I both regularly schedule lunch meetings here: there's fast service, it's not too loud, and each person can get their own pizza if they want. I also visit frequently with my family: easy to please with pizza. They have a good beer selection (lots of locals + the best national craft selection), a limited full bar, soda on the gun (including Ale8one ginger ale!), and even milk for the little guys. Fireside is a fantastic addition to the Walnut Hills neighborhood. read more

Fireside pizza is by far one of the best pizza places in cincinnati/nky area. They have the most wonderful this crispy crust finished to a perfect crunch with just the right amount of sweetness. They also offer a good variety of beers and even some special ones on tap. When I go here I get the Margarita pizza and am never disappointed. I highly recommend fireside! read more
