It's no surprise to me that Spitfire announced this week they are closing. What had started out as a great pizza place when they opened slowly went downhill. Yet I wanted to experience their take on Detroit pizza one last time before they lock the doors for good. Yesterday, I called to order a Detroiter pizza, my go-to pie since they opened, for takeout. The woman who answered the phone asked to put me on hold for a "short wait." Ten minutes later I was still on hold and hung up. Today, I decided to try again. I called at around the same time, 4:30 p.m., which normally has not been a busy time there before the dinner rush starts. This time, I was told to call back. What? So I went online and ordered there for pickup. I got an email back immediately, saying my order had been submitted but that it wasn't confirmed until I got a second email with my pickup time. More than an hour later, I'm still waiting for that second email. What a horrible operation they've become. Their pizza was excellent in the beginning and I didn't mind driving across town to a convenient location near the airport to pick up one of their pizzas. But as their quality slipped, I found myself going there less and less. Today's failure will be the last time I try before they close forever. All I have is the memories from better days. read more

Spitfire Pizza - Email note telling me to wait for a second email that never came. - Pizza Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Old style booths mixed with modern tables, a bunch of beer signs and a couple TVs. Only one customer when we got there, and one guy working. Plenty of beers on tap. We ordered the large Sausage Roasted Garlic pizza. What a great pie, from the crust to the toppings. I can't think of a place I have been to for quite some time that was better. One small item, the plate were cold, so we just used them for crumb catching. Hot pizza on cold plates isn't ideal. We'll be back for sure. read more

We stopped by for dinner on a Saturday. Very quaint local place. A ways from downtown with plenty of parking. Nice quiet atmosphere- mix of young, old, and families eating. Neat small bar up front. We got a small Detroit pizza and it was great. Nice selection of beer, which was also fabulous. Good friendly service. Nice welcoming place that we would go back to again. read more

Spitfire Pizza - Detroit pepperoni- great crust and beer! - Pizza Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Was in the mood for pizza and this spot was close to my hotel. Pulled up and thought they might be closed as it looked empty despite being 5:15pm on a Saturday. Went inside and no customers inside! Received a friendly greeting when I walked inside and ordered the Korean BBQ PIZZA - Detroit style. As the only customer I thought the food would be ready soon. The pizza took 25 minutes but finally came. Deep dish pizza was loaded with toppings. BBQ pork, jalapeños, peppers, and pineapple with a unique sauce. The combo of sweet/spicy worked and I enjoyed the pizza. Inside needs an update but was clean. read more

I have been looking for a pizza place to try since moving to Boise and I finally decided on Spitfire. I planned on just trying the Detroit-style pizza, but after looking at pictures and reviews, I decided on giving the calzone a go too. I picked them up and the boxes were hot, and they smelled amazing in the car, but when I finally got home and got the first bite - both were really disappointing. The calzone had a lot of crust and it wasn't crunchy at all. The bottom was super soggy. I know perhaps the steam could cause that from the ride home, so I did pop it in the oven to reheat a bit, unfortunately no improvement. Honestly, I suppose I would have even accepted a soggy crust if the inside was full of goodness, but there was such a small amount of ricotta cheese, I actually had to look for it. The meatball tasted old and the pepperoni didn't taste like a quality pepperoni but maybe Hormel brand. Despite being disappointed by the calzone, I decided to try the Detroit-style with a clean slate. Unfortunately, it was also very underwhelming. The outer edges didn't have that crispy, salty cheesy crust that great Detroit pizza has, and the inside of the pizza dough was nearly raw. Again, the toppings were definitely not of high quality. I thought for sure it would match Jet's (a franchise Detroit-style pizza place in the midwest), but Jet's put this place to shame. Not a good start to the Boise pizza scene. read more

Delicious every time we go in. It seems that I'm on the Vista-side-of-town a couple of times a year. One of our go-to's is Spitfire. The Good - the food Cheesy bread sticks. Wow, these are delicious. Olive oil, garlic goodness, just the right amount of cheese make these a great appetizer. If you're not too hungry, an order is a meal. Two of us snacked on these this week and weren't sure we even needed to orde pizza... but we did. The beer selection is always good in my estimation. It's not a huge selection, but they have a nice variety. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The Meh - Inside is nice enough. It's clean, functional and organized. Good use of the space and TVs around for sports likely make the Spitfire a good local's place. The Bad - nothing to report here. read more

It was good, quality, pizza better than most pizza restaurants out there. The employees were very friendly and helpful. It looks like a great place to watch your favorite game. I would definitely go back. Thanks Spitfire Pizza for a great experience. read more

Spitfire Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Spitfire Craft Pizza & Pints in Boise specializes in Detroit style pizza, which is a rectangular pan pizza with a thick, crisp, chewy crust. It is traditionally topped to the edges with mozzarella and/or Wisconsin brick cheese, which caramelizes against the high-sided heavyweight rectangular pan. Spitfire Craft Pizza & Pints opened in August 2018. I visited Spitfire Pizza for the first time on 6/2/23. I ordered The Detroiter ($18) - Smoked pepperoni under cheese, natural casing pepperoni on top. This is the small size. There's also a larger size available for $28. This was my first time trying the pizza, I was doing take-out, and didn't plan to eat the pizza in one sitting, so I asked that they only put the pizza sauce on top (as is traditional with Detroit style pizza) of two of the pizza squares. They sent me home with extra sauce. Spitfire is new favorite pizza!!! The crust is exceptional. The combination of the carmelized cheese, nice chew, and buttery flavor is unbeatable. The pizza sauce was nice and savory, and the pepperoni was high quality. The pizza was perfectly cooked, as evidenced by the pepperoni cups. Spitfire also offers hand tossed or thin crust pizza. They offer hand tossed Gluten - Free pizza. They have five Vegan pizza options on the menu. They offer 16 PNW craft beers, which are constantly changing. Spitfire has a nice neighborhood feel. They have a lot of regulars. But whether you're a regular customer or not, you're going to be treated very well. The service was excellent! Highly Recommended!!! read more

The food and service were great. I would recommend the strawberry salad. The deep dish pizza was tasty. I would highly recommend checking it out. The exterior could use some updating, but it doesn't reflect how good the food is. read more

Kept driving by and decided to take sis here for lunch.. OMGOODNESS where have you been all my life?? Cute little spot, friendly guy making pizzas and serving great beer.

Spitfire Pizza - Detroit Sausage Roasted Garlic Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Spitfire has great pizza! If you order at the restaurant, be prepared to drink a beer or two, as it takes a little while for the deep dish to cook. The pizza is always delicious. Staff is friendly. My only suggestion would be to pull the weeds out front, put up a couple signs to let customers know that they are open. Inside could use a good cleaning. I do recommend this place and will continue to be a customer. read more

No major issues here. The food was good, with a large variety of options. Bar area with more than enough beer selections (all craft) and a couple TVs. Staff was friendly and responsive. Convenient to the airport / hotels as well. Would return if ever back in the area. read more

Not sure how problem occurred but I'm pretty sure I ordered a vegan pepperoni pie and when I got home with our pizzas it was a standard pizza which was of course no use to me and which had cost me like 20 bucks. One star is for their response when I called which was basically "too bad so sad for you." Very poor customer service--it's basically Customer Service 101 to offer to replace the order. read more

Very friendly and personable service, great craft beer selection. Pizza available in both square "Detroit" style as well as regular circular style pizza. Enjoyed a supreme Detroit style pizza and it was very fluffy with a crisp bottom and a garden salad with a sweet but slightly spicy vinaigrette. Ambiance is low key sports bar: there are sports on Tv, booths, a bar and bar top seating. Plenty of parking read more

I can't believe i haven't been here sooner! I'm vegan and gluten free and have deprived of pizza my whole life. The pizza i ordered made me believe in pizza nirvana. Also found out my son is lactose intolerant so the vegan pepperoni was a huge hit! I will be returning many times read more

Very disappointed with this place. Went there with family and friends. Ordered several pizzas, one was for my son (half cheese and half mushroom). They brought out our food but had forgotten my son's order apparently. By the time they brought his pizza we were done eating. Then they served him this garbage. Half his pizza had burnt cheese while the other half was about halfway cooked. They must have forgotten to add mushrooms and added it later. It was disgusting and inedible. We took it back to the counter and they gave us some halfassed apology but no refund for the pizza. I will never eat here again. read more

Great pizza, long wait...This one is tough. The pizza was really good. Looks like they were short staffed and the owner was doing what they could. Building wasn't super clean. No fountain drinks, cans only and beer on tap. Kinda felt like a work in progress with potential. Prices were decent and the owner comped some drinks because of the long wait. read more

Excellent pizza! Tasty crust and generous toppings. We've tried almost every pie and have not been disappointed.

We visited this restaurant in mid afternoon before catching a flight. We chose it due to proximity to airport. Yelp reviews seemed to be good but not so for Google. In a nutshell, great food but welcoming atmosphere was less than desirable. Only one employee (I'm assuming the owner) with no personality. He did, however, get our food made, and delivered to our table in a timely manner. Only three other patrons in the restaurant at the time. I would've given four stars, if there was a sign that said, " Please seat yourself and order at the register or bar." You will not get a "Hello, thank you, your welcome, what can I get you. Can I get you another drink? Thanks for coming." But the food will be tasty! read more

Spitfire has a unique offering, and their pizzas are good. Sadly, my return after multiple good experiences has ended with them burning a bridge: Both the Detroit-style and thin crust pizzas were undercooked. Truly a shame. This was a 5-star restaurant in my book, but I can no longer trust them to prepare edible food. read more

Friendly staff explained to us their pizzas. We had an Ultimate Supreme. The crust was soft and lightly crispy on the bottom on the sides. The topping were fresh, the cheese tasty. The large fed three adults with 2 pieces leftover. This was our first time having Detroit style pizza and won't be our last. The draft craft beer selection was impressive! It is very casual. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. It was quiet on a Sunday night. If you're looking for pizza in Boise, give this restaurant a try! read more

Good pizzia, far better than average beer selection..., The atmosphere is somewhat like a repurposed burger joint. Nothing to write home about. Good for a quick meal, I had no major complaints, but also nothing memorable that would cause me to go back. read more

Spitfire Pizza - The Detroiter Pizza where is the sauce?? Literally was none. - Pizza Near Me - Boise, Idaho

The Detroiter pizza is absolutely outstanding. It's one of Boise's best kept secrets and it's honestly tragic how few people know about it. More people need to go here and experience it. The staff are always friendly and the ambience is pretty basic. But seriously just go and get the Detroiter (I always add pineapple, btw, so do that too if you're into it), and then write a review here so I can see if you love it too. read more

Rich has terrible customer service. Been there twice both times they just forget food. Woman working the counter was amazing, but the owner is just terrible. Pizza was ok but can't support lousy leadership read more

We ordered delivery from here. Everything was made as ordered, and delivered in a timely fashion, but ultimately I wasn't overly wowed. It's not to say that the pizza is bad, because it definitely wasn't, it's just that there are better pizza places available in the surrounding area. I think the biggest pizza option was 14 inches, which seemed a bit small compared to other places. read more

The Detroit Pizza was so good. The order came out fast and hot and tasted amazing. Customer service was excellent. Well worth the stop.

Service was very slow. 20 minutes to get a Meatball appetizer and 25 minutes to get a salad. Both there fair at best.

The best Detroit style pizza I've ever had and one of my favorite pizza joints in Boise. The crust is so buttery and delicious and the pizza sauce is tart and full of flavor. read more

Don't be afraid of the square pizzas. Detroit style has been the red headed step child of pizza for too long! This is not the school cafeteria BS some of us still twitch about. This is quality ingredients on an amazing crust layered in a special way to pay homage to its Sicilian cousin, yet stand out on its own. Two words... Yum O Come in and enjoy some grub, a pint, and some reggae vibes in this small but nostalgic pizzeria. Seriously, the brew selection is on point. What goes better with pizza than beer? The red booths and wood paneling are not as tacky as you are picturing right now. Throw in a weird stained glass hanging lamp over each table then things might get weird, but that's not the case here. Friendly staff, clean restrooms... What else could you possibly need this week? Come stick it to the man and upport a local business that deserves it. read more

OMG this pizza blows your mind. The crispiest edges and bottom crust, while somehow maintaining the pillowiest, chewy interior. Toppings are phenomenal and sauce comes on the side (not on base of pizza) and it is the perfect combo of savory and rich. So good--don't miss it! read more

wooooof. Walked in and no one told us if we should sit or wait and the new server and owner just stared at us before saying "grab a menu", awkward start. AC was out and no one told us so we sat there sweating the entire meal. I asked for a cesar salad and got a side house salad and when asked to fix was told I would be up charged. One meatball sandwich came out 15 minutes before the other so we couldn't even eat at the same time and it was crumbled meatballs with what tasted like canned tomato sauce and hardly any cheese on them. No peppers on the side or pickle or any garnish. was like eating a school lunch. New server did nothing wrong, ownership who was present the whole time and sitting at end of bar is not dong well with this place. we will never go back. read more
