    Pesto chicken
    Tiffany M.

    Wanted the pesto chicken and noticed it was no longer on the menu, but they were still able to make it and it totally met expectations. Also one of the best Caesar salads I've had

    Diet Coke and small cheese pizza
    Nancy T.

    Had grandkids and wanted something fast and what they all like. We found a parking place and a nice large booth inside. Everyone was nice and friendly and the place was clean. Prices very reasonable including drinks. I got a taste of Melvin Heyz Mexican Lager, very good so I got a nice large glass. Kids had water and Diet Coke. The youngest ordered a cheese pizza. The rest of us (4) got a large Zoe's Pepperoni and Margherita. Not much left which is a good sign. They also had a full bar.

    Only $10 each during happy hour! BONELESS GARLIC GINGER WINGS LRG BOLOGNESE LRG MAC + CHEESE
    Esther C.

    Parking will be crazy before an event so plan accordingly! It was fairly easy to park and empty on Sunday night my last visit. Their happy hour is every day from 2:30-5:30 & such a good deal! $10 select salads, pizzas, pastas & wings. Beers were $6. My toddler loves the bolognese (over the Mac - I was surprised). The Honey Bear pizza is the parents' favorite and the ginger wings were delicious. We'll probably skip the Mac next time (ours was bland) and try something else. If you have an Amex Plat card, this is a great place to use your quarterly $100 Resy credit! The interior is large and clean and customer service has always been great - I don't mind paying the extra "fee;" you can always request for them to take it off. Also, they have an outdoor dining area that is pup-friendly so we love bringing our dog when the weather is warmer. Note: they'll ask if you want marinara, ranch, etc. for dipping - just know there's a charge for it.

    LITTLE GEM CAESAR
    Kayla S.

    This place was good! When you walk in, you order at the counter, and there are plenty of tables available. The staff keeps the dining area clean, and the tables are wiped down quickly. The food came out fast, starting with the Caesar salad. Just a heads up, it has a very strong anchovy flavor that felt a bit overpowering. The cheesy knots were amazing. They were warm, soft, and paired perfectly with the marinara sauce. My favorite item was definitely the Honey Bear pizza. The combination of sausage, spicy chili, and honey was delicious, and the thin crust had great flavor and texture. I would honestly come back just for that pizza. The only downside was the drinks. Unless you are getting a beer, I would not recommend them because the specialty drinks had a very lime heavy flavor. Overall, this is a solid spot, especially for that Honey Bear pizza.

    The Pizza was lite and flavorful. They do have a happy hour. Lunch specials The service was short handed. Had to track someone down every time I had a question or needed something.

    This is my second time at this location. Pitfire Pizza has a unique selection of pies that you won't find anywhere else! The first time I sat in the restaurant and enjoyed the ambience. The staff working that night were very helpful, knowledgeable and kind. I believe Ms. Breaux helped at the register with wonderful recommendations that night. The chef that creates the masterpieces came out from the kitchen to describe in more detail about the pizzas. I really appreciate their great Customer Service. The restaurant is very clean and tidy. The seating areas are large. Perfect for a big groups of people to enjoy their pizza pies together.

    Everyone needs livable wages!

    Stopped by for the first time after the movies tonight and it did not disappoint! We walked in, sat at the bar and ordered right away. The place was huge and clean and not very crowded for a Thursday night. Service was great from the start, we were greeted and given menus and drinks as we waited. They have the good crushed ice here too!! We didn't see the 3% happy and healthy surcharge until after my husband had paid but honestly I think more companies should do this to provide a livable wage for their staff. The people complaining about it can go spend their money elsewhere if it bothers them so much, this place has such good vibes inside that I'm sure they don't want you here complaining either. Alright now the food: We ordered the little gem Caesar salad and it was absolutely delicious! I love the way it was layered so that every bite had flavor and no leaf was dry. I do wish it had actual oiled anchovies on it though. That would have been killer if it did. Chicken meatballs - they were very tasty but do add a little bit of red pepper flakes! It gave them a wow factor! Epic bbq pizza- they added fresh red onion and cilantro on top and let me just say it was so fragrant!! The moment it hit your tongue it had an epic feel for sure! The food came out so fast, granted it wasn't busy when we came but I would definitely come back to try the rest of their menu! The pizza was so damn good!

    HONEY BEAR
    Brian H.

    Found this spot on Yelp. Glad I did. Got a honey bear pizza. It's excellent. Quality taste and ingredients. Pizza is a bit spicy. I like it. The crust is really good too. Paid $21 all in for a lunch special. Pizza, soup, and drink. Well worth it. Really neat atmosphere and ambiance. Great decor and music. Service is really good too. I will definitely be coming back here.

    Delicious pizza place! We grabbed a menu, sat down, & when we were ready to order we went up to the counter. I love their pizza, it's not oily at all and it has a thin crust. Their pizzas are also so big, once slice could've easily been two. We got a side of ranch and hot honey too & the honey was a game changer! It was the perfect sweetness to our savory pizza. I'll definitely be back!

    HONEY BEAR
    Matthew D.

    If you're looking for the perfect weekday lunch win, the $19 Honey Bear pizza combo at Pitfire is tough to beat. The pizza itself is unreal -- sweet, salty, a little spicy, and insanely flavorful. The crust has that perfect crisp-chewy combo without getting soggy, and the drizzle of hot honey takes every bite to another level. The side salad was way better than your typical "lunch special" afterthought -- super fresh, bright, and well-dressed instead of drenched. And the soda + cookie add-on was clutch. Having a drink and a warm cookie at the end made the whole thing feel like a complete meal instead of just grabbing a slice and calling it a day. Overall, great value, super high quality, and honestly one of my favorite quick lunch moves lately. Highly recommend trying the Honey Bear if you haven't already!

    I decided to come here for a late dinner after hearing reviews from friends about their pasta. Im a huge lover of spaggetti and will never turn down a good pasta when I hear about it. I ordered the bolognese pasta with chesse knotts and man o man did it not dissapoint This was some of the best spaggetti ive had in a very long time, the sauce was perfect racio of sace to meat, it has some a home taste that i woulda made it and myself at home. The chesse knotts were crispy yet soft Im not too sure if they use the pizza dough for the knotts but man did i love the dough. Being a pastry chef and having first hand knowledge on dough I love when I find a place out hat has a fantastic dough. this place is great for large groups the open end booth tables can fit huge numbers. the staff was great and super helpful. im Definitely coming back but next time we trying some pizza

    SAUSAGE PARTY
    Jonathan L.

    Super chill quality pizza place! You order at the bar then sit down. We got the sausage party and it was very good. The crust was very airy and yummy. Definitely a good pizza place in the area if you want sit down instead of takeout.

    I'm surprised I haven't written a review here yet! My husband and I are becoming quite the regulars…read morehere so this is definitely past due! This is one of our go-to date spot that our friends introduced to us to. From my understanding this is Italian owned business with not only great quality food but also a wonderful assortment of rich olive oil, balsamic vinegar, jam, wine, packaged noodles you can buy straight from Italy. The service is always friendly but they can get very busy. Highly recommend a reservation. They've been so busy before they wouldn't even do take out orders. Ambiance is quaint. I love the beautiful Italian chandeliers they have. I've had a hard time with the chairs if I have a thick coat or a clutch hand back hard to put on the seat My husband orders the carbonara everytime which is our favorite item on the menu. Very authentic to us. I've tried many different pastas and just tried the lasagna last night which is not super heavy if your hesitant on feeling too full, was a great portion amount and wasn't super greasy either. Other items I've tried are the but my favorites are the fettuccine Alfredo (not on the menu), the short rib ravioli - super tasty!, and this mozerella crusted Pattie's in balsamic and creamy tomato sauce (seasonal or not on the menu sometime) that we love! I wanted to love the seafood risotto but I've had better. I used to order paccheri alla boscaiola which a popular item but I have to be in the mood for all the red onions which can be overpowering if there's a lot. We have tried some Of the apps which are always super fresh but we tend to order insalata calabrese which has a bit of everything Italian salad and great for sharing. The free bread is a plus too. Highly recommend coming for date night, family night, or even a small special occasion. Thanks for the great food and service!

It's been a…read morewhile since I came back from the first time I came here, and I don't know if I'll be coming back. I placed a DoorDash order for ASAP pickup of a 16" pizza. Placed the order at 4:35 pm with an ETA of 15-20 minutes. The app said it should be ready before 5 pm. Keep in mind, I intentionally placed the order early so that my 2 year old would have food at her normal dinner time. When I entered the restaurant, there were a few customers who didn't know what's going on. Neither did I. There wasn't anyone at the cashier's area. I had to flag the lady down to ask about my order. This was around 4:50 ish, so I don't mind waiting 10 minutes for my pizza. However, at 5, they didn't even start making my pizza, let alone put it in the oven. It's not until 5:21 pm that the pizza finally made its way out of the oven. It was disappointingly slow. Good news, though, I was able to write this review while I waited for my pizza and I finally got out of there by 5:23 pm. Also, one more thing to note, it felt like they were definitely short staffed and the person who was taking the orders at the front was also the person who was making the pizza. However, I noticed that she didn't use any gloves when making the pizza after transitioning from taking orders nor did I see her wash her hands. Just for that reason alone I don't know if I'd be coming back or would I recommend this place.
