Enjoyed a nice pizza, salad, and pasta last night at Fireside. Staff was friendly and the food really good. It may be a little out of the way if you are coming from Tahoe or Truckee, but it's worth the drive. read more

Decided to finally check this place out. Went on a weeknight and it wasn't that busy. Service was very friendly and on point after getting quickly seated. Beverages were brought and refilled right away. Full bar with several local beers on tap. If you can't decide on a beer right away, they will bring you a sample! We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was cheesy and satisfying. I prefer thicker slice baguette vs crunchy thinly sliced for the dip but to each their own; I'm sure I could've asked for a different bread but it was all good! Oh, there was a gluten free option for the dip. The pear walnut salad is by far the best dish! I should've got the larger because the husband and son helped themselves and it disappeared quickly. The pizza was your average but they had several vegan and vegetarian options. The crust and sauce was tasty but the sliced portobello need some olive oil or sautéed before putting the pizza in the oven; poor things were dried out and took away from pizza. Meat toppings were the typical but the cheese saved the pizza. Atmosphere was family friendly with different types of seating for small to large groups. Appreciated a lot of TVs to watch the playoffs and the staff made sure the games were on. I can imagine this place gets busy, loud and crowded so maybe not the best for handicapped or neuro divergent patrons. read more

I've tried their other location (Base Camp Pizza), and was looking forward to trying one. Came by on a Thursday night and the place was hopping, but didn't have to wait for a table. We got a nice booth, views of the kitchen window and the TV was tuned to March Madness. Lovely atmosphere/decor, and friendly staff. Based on reviews we ordered a medium spicy Thai chicken pizza and a large pear walnut salad, plus a free garlic bread appetizer with check-in. Whole lotta food for two (ended up taking half the pizza home and bits of the salad and bread). We both loved the flavors, and said we'd buy it again. Wasn't too spicy for those who might worry, and tasted great eaten the next day. Out the door for $41 with tip, no drinks. read more

Highly recommended spot in The Village! The pizza is amazing and well worth the wait if it's a busy night. I sat at the bar and witnessed how hard these individuals work to get your order out! Friendly and inviting atmosphere so don't hesitate to drop in. Our waiter Tam was awesome! He went above and beyond to make sure our experience at Fireside was positive. Do not let the wait steer you away, it's worth it! Shout out to the cooks and thanks again, Tam! read more

We had to leave this place. We were given a 20 minute wait time that turned into 60 minutes. In addition, when we clearly were the next couple up and confirmed with the hostess, a new host came (some cocky loud guy) and and said we were second. I spoke up, nothing was done. We walked out and went somewhere else; Terrible customer service. read more

The pizza was phenomenal. The sauce was house-made and the ingredients were fresh, the only bummer was I didn't buy another two to go.

Exhausted and hungry after a long day carving up the slopes? Pizza and beer it is! The Fireside Pizza Company is a short walk from the base of the funitel in The Village at Squaw Creek. My friends and I were starving around 4pm and scored a booth to scarf down pizza and beer/cider before heading back to our place. We chose the Classic Margherita, but I've also had the Mediterranean and Four Cheese pizzas. All delicious, satisfying choices! I love the thin crust and there are also gluten free options. The atmosphere is lively, filled with families and groups of parents letting go on their weekend away from the kids. It's casual and perfect for lunch, dinner, or an afternoon snack. I'd recommend getting here early for dinner though as the restaurant fills up fast! read more

Delicious pizza place located in the heart of Squaw Valley Village. Lots of booth seating. Decor is very "Rustic Tahoe" - lots of moose, bears, sleds. Pizza menu is excellent- from basic pepperoni to Thai style pizza. We tasted the BBQ Chicken and Pepperoni and loved every second of it. Medium size is 12", perfect for sharing. Thin crust style is also delicious. Beer and wine only. Lagunitas rotating beer on draft. Yum. read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I was in Squaw Valley under duress. I was an a company off site - horrors. To complicate matters, I am completely non-athletic, hate snow, hate the bulky equipment associated with snow play. I work with a bunch of rabid A-types who like to spend their free time swimming across SF Bay, completing triathlons, participating in kayak rodeos, or doing an 100 mile bike ride, or death defying mountain bike rides. Come to think of it, skiing and boarding at Squaw this weekend under the shitty conditions was probably a big yawner for them. OK, now that I've gotten that out of the way, let's get down to the food. Fireside Pizza was so good - nothing about what I would expect from a ski town since the food can generally be kind of sketchy. The apps were kind of lame - buffalo wings (WTF- WHO ORDERED THEM?) and some bruschetta topped with diced tomatoes and mozzarella. Note to Fireside - please take them off the menu until summer and we have some good tomatoes again. The salads were fab - pear, Gorgonzola and arugula, Caesar, Cobb - all very yummy. And then came the pizza....drum roll please.....very tasty thin crusts loaded with wonderful toppings - we had a pear and Gorgonzola pizza. A veggie pizza loaded with porcini mushrooms, onions, roasted peppers - just so tasty. Then we had a meat pizza - I'm not a big meat gal, but I heard once again it was a good one. We accompanied our pizzas with several pitches of Fat Tire and Sierra Nevada, which went just perfectly. And of course those super-athletes I work with needed dessert, which was vanilla ice cream melted over just baked chocolate cookies and brownies. The next day they all went skiing and boarding, and I had a nice massage. mmmm...... read more

Waaay better than CPK. Vance is a great waiter, he took care of our party of 10 with excellent service. So friendly and kind. All the food was nicely done. A great place to stop in. read more

Came here 2 nights ago after a freezing my butt off at Squaw Valley. My group and I were at our hotel, debating where to eat. Our criteria: Hot food, moderately priced, and tasty. The verdict: yes, yes and yes. It was a pain to drive back to the slopes after unwinding at our hotel, but we were hungry enough to do it. The place was packed, and even so, it only took us 15-20 minutes to get seated. They had a football game on a few tv's, so it kept us entertained enough. We had a party of 6, and ordered 2 large pizzas. The great thing about this place is that they let us have 1/2 and 1/2 on each pizza. We ended up getting Hawaiian, Mediterranean, BBQ Chicken & the Fireside special pizza. Everything had plentiful toppings, and I was very excited they didn't skimp on the pineapple on the Hawaiian. The Fireside was filled with 1/2 veggies (onions, mushrooms) and 1/2 meat (pepperoni & sausage). Very tasty. I was disappointed with the bbq chicken as it had way too much bbq sauce on it and was waaay too salty. I didn't try the Mediterranean. I'm picky with my foods having an even distribution of toppings (i.e., all the toppings aren't piled in the middle while the edges near the crust have nothing on it). They do an alright job of this here. Often the toppings were clustered in areas so some slices had more toppings while others lacked toppings. I did have a slice which had minimal toppings. Large pizza slices here are huge. They have the same amt of slices as a medium, they're just bigger. I ate 2.5 slices and was stuffed. They're also relatively thin crust which is a plus in my book. BTW, this place is great for coming just after hitting the slopes. There is ample room to sit, and lots of coat hangers to hang your gear. It's also kid friendly (none at our table), but they had little board games for kids so they don't run amuck in the place. Nothing worse than crazy whiny kids to ruin your dinner. But this place had it covered. read more

I was facilitating a leadership training retreat in Squaw Valley and decided to visit Fireside. The pizza is excellent. Ordered extra basil on the side. And blue cheese crumbles. Incredible! The service was great too. read more

Fireside Pizza - Amazing Pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

Was in the area for the weekend and came here for lunch. It was pretty busy and seating was limited on the inside since it was so cold! My friend and I were seated after about 5 minutes and had our orders taken. Let me make it clear before you read any further that the customer diversity was a flat zero until my friend (hispanic) and I walked in here. (You'll see why I mention this later) They had a decent sized menu so it took a little bit! My friend ordered the Fireside Pizza and I ordered the Thai Curry Chicken. The wait wasn't too long but there were a lot of people so it was understandable that they were trying as hard as possible. Eventually our food made it out and I was very satisfied with my selection. It totally tasted like thai curry you would get at a thai restaurant, on a pizza. HOW AWESOME IS THAT. My friend wasn't blown away by her pizza at all. She found it rather bland and we didn't have cheese and pepper at our table like all the other ones so when the waitress finally did get them for us, we were almost done. So, while I understand it was busy, I felt that the waiters/waitresses were more attentive to the other customers than us. We had to ask for the sauce/peppers multiple times before she finally got back to us. Idk I had a lot of service like this when I was up in tahoe so you become very attuned to picking stuff up, especially when you come from a very diverse region like the bay area. Food was good, service could have been better. read more

Fireside Pizza - Thai Curry Pizza - pretty good, could definitely have been spicier though. - Pizza Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

Good pizza in a beautiful place, can it get any better? I think so. My family and I went to Squaw Valley for a day trip to relax. There were many good places to choose from, but we chose pizza to eat! It was pretty crowded inside and out and very loud, lots of chitter chatter. We wanted to sit outside so we could have some room but they informed us the sun was about to go down and it was going to get extremely cold. Glad they told us because even inside was cold once the sun went down. Pizza was pretty pricey! A personal pizza, 4 slices ran $13 plus the extra $2 for the gluten free crust. My family ordered the Thai curry pizza, the meat lovers and the pear pizza.....they loved them. I ordered a personal gluten free pizza, with specific instructions only to put goat cheese on it, because I do not eat cows dairy. WELLLLLLL.......I was the first one to get my pizza, got it about 10 minutes before the rest of the food came out. I was not happy about that because I wanted to eat with everyone else. So I waited, pizza got a little cold...I started to eat a slice and realized there was the cheese blend plus the goat cheese. I had to send it back. The server said it would be just a few minutes, but it turned into almost a 30 minute wait. The manager was kind enough to take the pizza off the bill. But when I finally got my pizza, everyone else was done and I ate alone. Not the best service experience, but the pizza was decent and the manager was kind. I would go back again only because I was satisfied with my second pizza. A plus was getting a free basket of garlic bread with a coupon I got when I checked in on yelp! read more

Fireside Pizza - Gluten free pizza with goat cheese! - Pizza Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

The pizza is absolutely outstanding! We recommend the fireside with a glass of drought root beer. Also good is the garlic bread. There can be a bit if a wait but it's totally worth it! They have lots of gluten free options, but we didn't personally have any of them. The brownie avalanche and chocolate chip cookie desserts weren't that good, but the pizza is. read more

The entire package here is fantastic: food & services! Tim, the general manager is an awesome guy with an outstanding knowledge of the restaurant business. He runs a great crew with Matt and Alexa. The menu is not very big but diverse. I have tried all the dishes here and they are all delicious, specially the pastas and the very thin-crust pizzas! Way to go Fireside!! read more

We really enjoyed 2 fresh salads, garlic bread & soup on a beautiful patio. Device was fast & friendly & food came quickly. All that but we never felt rushed. We will be back. read more

Fireside Pizza Company is the perfect location to chill after a fun day out in Squaw Valley. We came here for dinner after Oktoberfest, our party had 12 people and it only took 5 minutes to organize our seating outside (our request as we had a dog). Fireside uses text messaging to update you on the wait time for a table which is pretty convenient; you can do something elsewhere while waiting and arrive back at Fireside in time to be seated. Perfect for longer wait times when it's really busy. The food was excellent and staff polite and friendly. Tim the manager was great! Loved the ambiance and fire crackling near our table. One of the most important factors is that it's also great value for money. We all had a really fun evening! I know where I'll be spending my winters post-snowboarding! read more

the service here is pretty good once you get a waiter to start taking orders down. the pizza seemed a little doughie, but it was realllly good. the cheese i love! the apple frangipane tart was so wonderful i don't know how i went to squaw before and never had it. it wasn't a bit sweet, and had all the mention components that complemented each other! the lemonade was awesome, served in a huge jam jar, i even asked for 3 slices of oranges, and the waiter added it in! hooray for lemonade with a hint of oranges. read more

Came with a large and hungry group after a morning of skiing. Food was good! Soft drinks and water are served in HUGE mason jars with minimal ice, which I really appreciated because I was parched. For appetizers, we got both the cheesy garlic bread and the garlic "chips" (don't know why they call it that; it's basically a small white pizza with lots of garlic that's cut into little bite sized pieces and served with a side of ranch) for the table, and I had a small pear and gorgonzola salad - all were tasty! We shared 3 large pizzas for the group: the Fireside, the Pear and Gorgonzola, and the Fire Roasted Medley. All were well-constructed (didn't fall apart when you picked up a piece) and thin crust. I had some of the Fire Roasted Medley with lunch and a piece of the Fireside as leftovers the next day. Both were yummy! read more

The most amazing gluten free pizza. Ray .... thank you for having a GF protocol. I know it is safe to eat at any of your restaurants. AND you have Omission beer. So I feel like a normal person having pizza and beer. It means a lot. A big thanks to our amazing waiter Brandon. And a shout out to Nikki. Ray is lucky to have you both on his team. Cheers. read more

Delicious margherita pizza and what a brownie!! Cozy vibes with scenic views. Surely a gem

After visiting a number of other more expensive and less awe-inspiring restaurants up on the Squaw Valley main area, eating here was a refreshingly good experience. First off, the prices aren't sky high, although you do pay an obvious premium for being at a ski resort. That's a given whenever you're eating somewhere of the beaten path, and although $11 - $13 for a personal pizza made me a bit worried, when the portions arrived I reevaluated that thought. I ordered a personal pizza which came with four meats on it: sausage, bacon, canadian bacon, and pepperoni. Plenty of meat was stacked on there along with enough cheese to compliment it. Very well done and presented, and just enough for a hungry personal portion. The beverages are served in large mason jars, a touch which I think not only is perfect for the atmosphere, but excellent in practicality. I wish all restaurants had equally huge soda and iced tea tumblers. Fewer refills means less work for the servers and less time spent thirsty. I generally go through so much iced tea and soda that it's not unusual for a server to comment on it, but this time only one refill was necessary. Impressive. Service wasn't good or bad, just what is sufficient. No complaints whatsoever. Summing it up: pretty good atmosphere, gigantic beverages and portions, fast service and no frills. Probably the best restaurant experience I've had so far up here. read more

OH MAN OH MAN! this place is great! perfect after a nice session of snowboarding at squaw valley! ambiance is nice and cozy. service comes with a smile and who doesn't like oven roasted pizza?? after being here twice, I'd say my favorite pizzas were the Classic Margherita and the Fire Roasted Medley! AND if you check in, you get free garlic bread!! I'm always eating here when I come back to snowboard(: read more

Love love love coming here especially with your amazing worker Melina always so sweet and very attentive. We come all the time from reno and we never leave disappointed thank you!!!! read more

The food is really good. We got the Mediterranean. They packed on the condiments which made the food worth the money. The service is terrible. I understand that we came 30 minutes before closing. They tried to ignore us while we stood at the hostess stand. One of our friends went to ask a server if we can still be seated. They sat us and then rushed us the entire time. The server asked how I meal was and one of my friends said "it was good. The food is amazing" and the server just walked away. He came and placed our check down while we were finishing up. Then he came back 2 minutes later and asked if we were done with the check. When we closed out, he didn't even thank us. We were out by 9:10. And there were still tables filled with people eating. I would not go back. Even for the food. read more

Great pizza, with a nice, zesty sauce and a thin crust that's actually soft, not tough. I'm not sure if it's the altitude they bake at, or just good ingredients, but the crust is both thin and soft inside like bread. Not tough or chewy. The tomato sauce has a nice blend of oregano and basil, enhanced by the cheese blend of mozzarella and fontina, among others. The pizza margarita has a thinner red sauce, and lots of fresh tomatoes and basil. Even the iced tea was good, not from some powder like McDonald's. Service was prompt and courteous, too. Great for our family of four. read more

Came here before the McConkey premiere, and OH MY ORGASMIC! We had the special pizza - portobella mushrooms, carmelized onions, goat cheese, and a four-cheese blend, it was absolutely to die for! My boyfriend and I demolished the entire pizza. There is something about the combination of flavors that puts you on another plane of existence for as long as your bite lasts. Food aside, how could you dislike a pizza restaurant, on a ski mountain, that serves PBR in cans? The service was excellent, our waitress was super duper nice & really chill, she let us move tables mid-meal so we could enjoy the sun. I can't wait to come back next time I'm at Squaw! read more

Fireside has good food - I come here everytime I go with my family to Squaw. Its usually packed and we've waited an hour for our seat before. This past weekend, because of the lack of real snow, we didn't have to wait at all. In fact the place was completely dead and we had more interaction with the staff. Our waitress was awesome, she dealt well with our crazy requests and loud group and she always had a smile on her face. So I'll start with I LOVE the salads. I usually don't like salads much, but the pear and garganzola salad and the greek salad (with olives) are both pretty amazing. The lettuce is dressed well, but not overly dressed. We ordered garlic bread and artichoke dip, which I could have done without. But the garlic bread was free because of the Yelp deal. (Yes, make sure to check-in). The artichoke dip just lacked in flavor. The combo pizza is good, salty and satisfying. I do with the crust of their pizza was just a bit on the crispier side, but that didn't stop me from eating it. Their pear and garganzola pizza is a nice end to a meal with a little bit of a sweet flavor. I wish they would go lighter on the arugula, but too much arugula hits me the wrong way while other people love it. And finally, the brownie sundae. What can I say, you can't really go wrong with one of those. All in all, a wonderful way to end a good day on the mountain. read more

I've been here several times since my last review in 2011... and it's always a fave! Great pizza & beer (and ya gotta love the Yelp! check-in treat: Cheesy Garlic Bread - mmm!). Once again, I had the Fireside Special Pizza (sausage, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions) - still baked to perfection. LOVE the sauce! GREAT crust! Sweet sausage & onions... with zippy pepperoni = awesome combo! Beer selection this week was fabulous, too. They had Black Bute Porter on Draft! Most excellent! Service is fun, music is enjoyable. Not the best pizza I've ever had in the world... but pretty darn close. And it's by far one of the best (if not THE best) places for Pizza near Squaw Valley! Great value for the area & good food to boot! read more

Ordered pickup from here and it was just what the doctor ordered. The pizza was ready in the timeframe they said and it was cooked perfectly. Definitely will come back! read more

Excellent pizza quality (for California). Great, super-friendly service from every one who works in there. Pretty good beer and desert list. Very nice vibe, w/ TVs for sports. TERRIBLE pricing!! Hence the loss of one star. Then again, everything is super pricy in the Squaw Village. This is probably the best food option there. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the pizza and pasta was here. I'm rarely ever impressed with most pizza/pasta places anymore, so this was a nice change. Ordered the Hawaiian Hula pizza and the Grilled Chicken with Roasted Garlic pasta (Grilled chicken, red onions, tomatoes and broccoli in a creamy butter and garlic sauce). Other than the pasta being a little too 'al dente,' everything tasted great. The pasta was well-coated (not too much, not too little) with sauce and the pizza crust was perfectly cooked. $10.95 was a little pricey for a personal-size pizza, but it was way better than the personal pizzas I've gotten anywhere else. Bigger too. Will definitely come here again next time I go to Squaw. read more

I do really like Fireside, but I think it's mostly because the options in the Village are relatively few. If you're in the mood for a pie, however, Fireside won't disappoint. You can get yourself a regular old cheese or pepperoni pizza, or for those who like a "fancy" Squaw pizza I recommend the Pear and Gorgonzola. Spaghetti bolognese hit the spot on my last visit too. I personally prefer to eat at other places in the Village, but the food here is generally very good. They don't have many T.V.'s for those who come to watch sports. Staff is friendly and attentive. read more

We were in Tahoe for New Years... so I make this review knowing it was their busiest time of year. We ordered 5 pizzas for our group and picked up 45 minutes later. The Service was good, food was ready on time. If in Squaw Valley, it is probably your best bet as there are not many places to choose from. Not out of this world, but they have good choices, gluten free options, some really good appetizers, and clean facilities. read more

Delicious pizza right in Squaw! They are pricey and the portions are kind of small (a medium is personal pizza, while a small is almost too small), but the pizza is delicious! I have had their four cheese pizza with caramelized onions and their garlic white sauce instead of red sauce twice and it is so good. Really fresh and flavorful! Quick takeout service too. read more

Had lunch here twice in two days. They messed up our order both times but we're laid back so no big deal. They still went above and beyond, giving us free dessert as well as the extra pizza. Super attentive staff, starting with the manager (Eagles fan), the hostess, waitstaff, down to bussers, thus the 5 stars. Will definitely come here again next time we're up here. read more
