Wood fire pizzas are the name of the game at this local chain, but hearty salads, pastas and desserts are also hugely popular.

nice!. The tomatoes are fresh, the calamari is fried to perfection. The wait time is super long, but totally worth the wait. I order for pick up after waiting over one hour!!

Don't try to eat here alone!!!!. Went in around 11:30 and ordered and sat at a booth. About five minutes late this douche who must have fancied himself a manager asked me if I was dining alone. I said I was, so he asked me to move to a smaller table since they got busy at lunch time. There were about 20 empty tables and booths at this time. Unfortunately I didn't tell him to get me a refund so I could leave, but instead moved to a two seater table and ate my lunch. By the time I left at 11:45 there were three new tables. Two booths had filled with two people each, the exact number my new table held also. So basically this douche pissed off a customer and lost any future business for nothing. Way to go. Hope you get Manager of the Year!

We're sorry. We try really hard to make everyone happy, sometimes that means anticipating the needs of our lunch rush; which is usually a packed house and it sounds like we missed the mark this time. Can we offer you a free smothered cookie to lure you back and make up for it?

Pizzas, salads and soups. My real rating would hover around a 3.7.

I like this place, it's clean bright, cheery and a perfect place for a lunch break downtown. Parking can be a bit of a pain at times, but the quick service here makes up for it.

I always order the same this here the BBQ Salad hold the chicken and cheese which they serve with a piece of fresh baked focaccia that's pretty darn good. The Tuscan bean soup here is tasty too. I also hear that the pizza's are very good.

It's a solid place, nothing out of this world, but when you work downtown, you're very grateful for places like these. The service is fast and friendly and the food always tastes fresh.

hit or miss. Hit or miss.

We occasionally order from Pitfire and it's off and on. Tonight we ordered a pizza and added extra ingredients.

There were four olives to spots with cheese and basically we received bread with red sauce on it... for 11 bucks.

Pasta is great, then arrives cold. Sometimes the order is full, other times it's 1/2 the size.

There needs to be some SERIOUS management and food policy changes. This is literally the umpteenth time they have given us a totally deranged order from what we could get from Pizza Hut. Next time, order Pizza Hut or Rocket Pizza. 100 times better.

Good lunch spot w/ co-workers or for a large group. My co-workers and I would go to Pitfire at least once a week. It's quick...you order at the counter and then seat yourself. My favorite lunch dishes are:

-Tuna Panini

-BBQ Chicken Salad...no longer on the menu =(

They also have a stamp card (I believe you buy 10 items and then get 1 free) & also have a KCRW discount.

For Italian lovers. I'm all about Italian and Japanese food. I'd be perfectly fine with going to Pitfire Pizza one day and sushi restaurant the next. The pasta and pizza are unbelievable. Check it out!

Great, Fresh Italian Food. Went to this restaurant for lunch, with a colleague. I had the turkey meatballs with their special tomato sauce and my colleague had a sausage pizza. We both loved our dishes. It has a very cool decor and they offer daily freshly made Sangria. Huge selection of beers and wines. The staff shared with me there is a happy hour during Monday - Friday. Our firm may check it out after our busy season.

more like Shitfire..... I'll start off by saying the food here is very unpredictable and usually bad. Living upstairs I've had many of the same dishes and pizzas over and over. Sometimes the pizza is OK, sometimes burned and nasty with little ingredients. One time the Dixie Chicken was too saucy, another time there was no sauce. The steak panini comes raw on occasion and has the texture lions must get when they eat zebras. And the worst thing is you order from a register after waiting in line all to find out there is no seats available if its busy, just like at a fast food joint. With what this place charges you should at least be seated and have a wait staff with menus at the table. Instead you stand in line and wait on others to figure out what they want to eat from the paper to-go menus. Then they give you a bacteria coated number to put on your table, only for someone to bring you the wrong food. Im not even gonna get into how poor the delivery is...Oh yea and if you aren't walking distance, remember to bring $10 dollars for the only parking available. The patio is Nasty and not maintained and is also the site of the incident that makes me hope they take this low quality business out of my building forever.

I was on the patio with a friend having a pitcher of overpriced beer when I witnessed an old homeless man assault a couple eating at the table next to us. He threw an object at the man, then whipped the man's girlfriend in the face with the bamboo like shoots he ripped out of the planters bordering the patio. This bum was obviously out of his mind but very aggressive and not provoked at all. The man attempted to stop the bum by grabbing his hand, and the bum immediately fell to the ground as if he was seriously hurt. It was an obvious scam but the bum layed there screaming that he was hurt and people then started paying attention inside and out. The so called owner came out after being told there was an incident and started screaming at the man as if he assaulted the bum and was in the wrong. This argument went on for a few minutes. I couldn't believe this owner who didnt even see the incident was yelling and accusing this poor couple who were actually the victims, so I spoke up and said excuse me I saw the whole thing, and the owner says "shut your mouth I didn't ask for your input", I said "who do you think you are talking to me like this Im just trying to tell you what happened actually witnessed it", then he gets in my face as if he was gonna fight me and says he's the owner and then told all of us to leave and don't come back. We were all so outraged that we eagerly waited for the cops to show up to make a report. Of course they were just as worthless at getting anything done..I've never seen such an unjust thing happen in my life, and Im ashamed it happened in my building.

Delivery is a PAIN. Great food, although the ingredients on the menu look yummier than what is actually on the plate. Overall the pizza is ok, and service is only slightly better. I've had the food delivered four times and each time there was a problem. They've forgotten an item, or the pizza is cold. For the most part, ordering over the phone with a credit card is a nightmare. It's so noisy in there and they can't hear your order or credit card. I've had to repeat myself many times. If you're gonna have lunch, go there rather than ordering... the food is better and you won't have to yell on the phone (that includes ordering online, as the system is not fool-proof).
