    What a delight to have something like this open in Midtown! Easily the best pizza in Santa Fe, with a focused but exciting menu of appetizers, salads, pizzas, cocktails, and wine/beer. The atmosphere is at once sophisticated enough for a date while also being family friendly. We couldn't be happier with our experience. Service was friendly and attentive. Thank you for a wonderful evening! We're very excited to return!

    Gosar with most of the sauce and toppings in the very center with too much crust

    I love wood fired oven pizza and Tender Fire does gourmet sourdough pies that are personal sized at 12" each. They are currently operating in the parking lot of El Rey Court so the pizza oven is outdoors and everything is made to order. For 2 pizzas and a shrub, it was $47 including tax and tip. Bring a hat and wear some sunscreen because we waited about 10 minutes in line and another 20-25 minutes for our order to be ready. There's some shady and grassy areas, but this a pet friendly hotel so be careful where you sit. I tried a pineapple shrub to drink which is made of vinegar and sugar. It reminded me of kombucha because of the funkiness from all the vinegar. Not my favorite, but that's just my preference and it was worth a try. For food, we went with the Gosar which had Italian sausage and red onion. The toppings were mostly in the center of the pizza so the dough in the center was a bit underdone. The flavor was still pretty good but I wish that the toppings were more evenly distributed. My favorite pizza was the Date which had pepperoni, mozzarella and dates. This one was cooked perfectly but with less toppings.

    The owner of Tender Fire has only the very best intentions and everything starts with intention. Thoughtful staff, fresh, fresh ingredients, nice/fun atmoshere. It's amazing to us how many folks can't make a pizza right! We have a parlor nearby but will drive across town for Tender Fire. Thank you for all your efforts, infinite blessings for the coming New Year! We miss you already. PBH, former Head Pro/GM of Pebble Beach MCH, former Host/Floor Mgr. for Clint Eastwood

    Favorite pizza in Santa Fe! True sourdough & a great menu! I love the Nettle & classic Margarita. :) You can get takeout or you can enjoy the evening social distance style under the sunset & string lights!

    I love everything about Tender Fire... the best pizza I've ever had, HANDS DOWN, and the only pizza I've ever had that didn't make me feel guilty afterwards! All the ingredients are fresh from the farm and chemical free, and the dough is fermented sourdough which is great for the gut! The setting is lovely beneath the trees at El Rey Court and the staff are sweet and adorable. Thank you Tender Fire for being such a positive addition to the community

    We had the Gosar and Marquarita pizzas and were blown away by the taste of the sausage (spicy and some not so spicy).

    This establishment is one of five in network AADVANTAGE dining restaurants so we decided to give it…read morea try. Located in the Plaza off of San Francisco St., we didn't realize there was it's own parking lot that is shared with others around the corner (we parked at a public structure for 5 bucks 2 blocks away). This is an order at the counter establishment of which I do not care for, especially if it's pricey (which it was). We started off with the house salad for 7.50/ea and totally not worth it (just some lettuce tomatoes and dressing with a piece of bread). 2 of us had pizzas 1 a calzone and another pasta. Pizzas were ok, but a good size for one big appetite or to share otherwise. The calzone was HUGE but my friend did not care for it (vegetarian) as she said it had too much goat cheese and lacked flavor. My friend's pasta was just average. With a bottle of cab and 2 soft drinks, the price came to a pricey 120 bucks before tip (the servers do deliver your food and drinks to the table). Would I come back here? Probably not. I have had others word of mouth that also did not care for it.

    We arrived and the line was almost out the door but then realized that they have a really unique…read moreand efficient system. You order and pay and then you get seated! Love it! The restaurant is roomy and lively. It's right across the street from the Hilton, where we stayed! My colleague ordered pizza to go on the first night, walked over and returned back to hotel room! I should have done that too! Our party of 6 came from Hawaii and just trusted the process...we ordered several wood oven pizzas (sorry I didn't pay attention to what my friends ordered ) I had the Tartufo - omggg it was to die for!!! the food is amazing and affordable! We would come back again and again if we could!! The employees were friendly and helpful! We were leaving the next morning so some of us took the leftovers and ate it at our stopover!! We will definitely come back if we have another conference there!!

    Made our first and last visit to Oshia's tonight…read more... My nephew was in town visiting so we decided to order pizza. (I voted for Il Vicinino, but my husband had heard Oshia's was good.) We ordered a Margherita pizza, wings & a Greek Garden Salad. When I arrived to pick up the order the pizza was done and sitting on the counter in a box. I waited about five minutes for the wings to come out of the oven, and then a few more for the salad to be assembled. Got home (maybe 3 minutes away) & realized the pizza was cold so I put it in the oven for 20 minutes. When I put the pizza on the table my husband & nephew pointed out that there was no basil on it & just a skimpy smattering of mozzarella. (The menu says it has basil.) So. I called Oshia's & told them the pizza was cold & missing the basil. While the guy on the phone was nice enough I think maybe he was a little too stoned to say anything but, "Uhhhh. Sorry." (I'm all about weed, but really?) I kind of expected him to offer another pizza made correctly. Silly me. So we sprinkled dried basil on it & laughed about what a lame place Oshia's is. The wings? Average. The salad? Good. The place was better when Pete owned it. We won't be back. Next time we order pizza? Il Vicino. We learned our lesson.
