Fireside Pizza

Passing by and found this great spot for pizza. Building is from 1867 and the developer turn the old fire station into a pizzeria. Very good pizza, bottom has a good char from the oven. Pizza sauce taste like their own recipe/homemade, and it has plenty of sauce and cheese on the pie. Sauce might have too much water in it because ingredients slide off pretty easy once you pick up a slice, other than that no complaints.There is a bar and a couple of TV that you can enjoy your food and the game at the same time. Excellent place to bring friends and family

Nobody's ever going to mistake Cincinnati for Naples or New Haven when it comes to pizza, but things have improved here by leaps and bounds on the pizza front since we moved here in 2007.Fireside among those of in the vanguard of better Cincinnati pizza. Starting as a food truck, it was also among the vanguard in the gentrification of Walnut Hills--whether you view that as a good or bad thing (and it's a complicated subject)--starting in this brick-and-mortar (literally, both inside and outside) location in 2014. Fireside is located in an ancient rehabbed firehouse, and it's charming inside. But the pizza is what you're here for, and it's good. The crust is excellent, especially by Cincinnati standards--nice char and chew. Sauces have some zip to them.There's beer and wine available, but regrettably for us, no iced tea. Planting roots in a low-income neighborhood does allow for lower rents for the proprietor and lower prices for customers. At least at the beginning. But that's still what you more or less get at Fireside even a decade down the road, because Fireside still has some of the fairest prices in town. A 9-inch "personal" pizza is still only 9 or 10 bucks, which is more than fair in 2024. Some of the price-cutting is achieved through the counter-ordering system and drink-self service, as well as the rolls of paper towels on the table.

Fireside remains one of the most consistently great pizza places in cincy. I've never had a bad pizza from there. The seasonal offerings are typically fantastic. This time we tried the peach pizza (Peachy Keen) and I loved it. Great fontina cheese. The sausage and Jalapeño pizza was also awesome. The meatballs were fantastic with really good bread and ricotta. The service is always friendly and speedy. Love the vibes of the place. Will continue to recommend.

This place is so quaint. I love the twinkling lights hanging from the ceiling of this real, old fire station. I loved the cider, even though they didn't have the key lime cider that I initially ordered. I had the vegan pizza and it was very tasty. Everyone at my table was pleased with their pizzas!

Super cool little pizza joint with about 10 tables inside and a small outdoor seating area. Fireside features a wood fire oven as well as beer, wine, and spirits. Upon arriving you place your order at the counter and get a "number" (it's an old VHS sleeve which I think is cool and some of you may not even know what that is) and your food is brought to your table. Personally I am not a fan of this especially with how small the place is. Also, if you want to have another drink it's back in line you go. The pizza is absolutely incredible. The dough was perfectly fired with a nice crispy undercarriage that held the toppings flawlessly. I went with the current special they had which consisted of lamb, curry, onions, potato, and cilantroI absolutely loved the pizza and would strongly recommend checking this place out. Personally I would stay clear of the cocktails and stick with beer and while.

At this point I know they are tired of seeing me haha I LOVE THIS PLACE - the people, the pizza and the beer! As a plant-based (vegan) individua, it's hard to come across a good pizza, let alone a GREAT one... but that's exactly what their vegan pizza and house made vegan ricotta cheese is!we not going to blow up the spot though so IYKYK about what else they offer

Really good pizza, got great service for carry out. Best bet is to call instead of ordering online, you'll get your order faster. Have never eaten inside, but it's a cozy interior. Always enjoy the food here, much better than the chain pizza joints!

Great pizza. We found this place searching on Yelp and we weren't disappointed. Great selection of beer!

My favorite pizza in Cincinnati. Reasonable price and friendly service. Can take a while when crowded but worth the wait.

If I could give a rating of -10 still wouldn't be low enough. This is quite possibly the worst pizza we've ever had.
