Fireside Pizza Cafe

Pizza is Always excellent & beer is ice cold, but draft prices are getting pricey. $ 6.00 now for a draft.

We called in to place an order for pickup on a Thursday evening. I ordered a small Toscana pizza and an order of garlic knots. I was a little shocked when they told me our order would be ready for pickup in 45 minutes, I’d expect that from a delivery but maybe they were busy when we called. Anyways, the small pizza is perfect sharing size (in my opinion) 3 slices each. The flavor and toppings were pretty good but I wasn’t crazy about the crust. The garlic knots were ok, we felt like they were missing something or maybe a tad too much garlic but I’m not sure. Overall, it was a decent dinner and I’ll prob give them another try in the future and update my review.

Amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere! Had the garlic knots, honey buffalo wings, and built our own pizza. Pizza is New York style & the wings aren’t fried!!! Was recommended by a coworker and I’m so glad took her word for it. Our waitress had great insight to the menu and didn’t rush us. Everyone we met were very friendly and chatty. Definitely going back!

We take the family here all the time. The food is great. Pizza is good (we’re from NY so our quest for good pizza has a high bar). I like the fireside wings with honey. I like that they don’t have generic beer on tap so you have something different. My kids love coming here. The wait staff is always friendly. My daughter (3 yrs) calls it «chicken wings and football» because we go there on football Sunday’s to watch the game. The only negative is lack of seating which they are working on expanding. Hard to get a seat Friday and Saturday night as it’s usually packed. Afterwards go to cool side next door for gelato.

We have been coming here since it opened. We love the pizza and have thoroughly enjoyed other items. Now here come la the but. Very unorganized and now that they are expanding and becoming more popular they really need someone to manage the front. The last several times we were there people were waiting for tables had to ask who to give their name to, others walked in and sat down as soon as someone got up, 2 people riding up and sitting at an outside table when family of 4 waiting, long wait for service once seated and long wait for take out. If they want to expand need to spend the money for a real front house manager not a waitress or owner that is taking care of a million other things

Delicious pizza. The wings and hummus are excellent as well

The pizza is amazing! My favorite pizza in florida. Service is pretty good. It is a pretty small place and does get crowded inside.

It was great!!! I would recommend this place very highly food was great and the service was good and we all had a great time

One of a kind place in the heart of downtown Palm Harbor. They make a great Greek salad and they have awesome wings. We then got a pizza. Love all of the toppings choices. Our waitress was superb! Being in the restaurant industry, I know how it is when you get seated 5 times at once. Did very well. I wish I remembered her name so I could recommend her!

Very limited seating indoors (maybe seats 20?). Sat outdoors on the patio which was lovely on a fall night (but could be painful in summer).
Ordered salads to start — Greek and House. Greek was delicious, would not recommend the House as these are definitely single serving salads with ‘share’ prices ($ 5 for House, $ 8 for Greek). Margherita pizza was delicious, crust was crispy yet light and fluffy with a lot of fresh basil. We ordered a small pizza to split and wished we had ordered a large as we were both still hungry after small salads and splitting a 10 inch pizza. Overall, pricey for portion sizes but good quality so worth it.
Server was friendly and efficient!

Anyone who gives this place less than 5 stars, smokes crack. We come here often and I believe it’s the best pizza I’ve had. Don’t expect quick service or even to find a table on a cool Fall evening, but well worth the wait. It’s a very popular place.
Wings are good, salads are fresh, and again the pizza is awesome.

Definitely try the «fireside wings «
These wings are done in the pizza oven like the pizzas, with onions and a tasty spicy rub. To die for…

It’s a good pie, a lot better than most in the area. The crust is thin and the sauce was nicely seasoned. It’s a cute place and they’re very friendly. We had a standard cheese pie, my dinner date is such a boring eater… I will return and update soon.

It’s cute, quaint, and serves edible foods. Knowing the versatility and deliciousness of fire licked meats n veggies we headed on over after sampling a gyro nearby. The entire meal I couldn’t stop thinking about Hula Girl, and the Tarpon nearby. The fire wasn’t at all utilized in my eggplant dish. Just a cheesy saucy comfort food I would imagine kids with a really restrictive palate would just love. (Not me) The wings were great, although we learned later that we ordered wrong, and should have gone with the dry-​rub, which is more complimentary to wings prepared this way. The pizza was good. I have pizza, eggplant and wings just as good as these near my home, so I don’t think I’ll be back, but my oh my the gyro at Hula Girl Oyster Bar! Oh yeah, the service was good.

After splitting a delicious gyro over at Hula Girl, La Chica and I strolled over to Fireside to see what all the hype was about. Small place, Friday night and kinda busy. No problem because we’re just eating to eat at this point.
Eventually, we ordered the following items.
CARNE small pizza — Very good. Nice brock oven flavor. They use semolina instead of flour on the bottom of their pizza, but it’s not a liberal dose and does not affect the integrity of the pizza.
It’s not NY pizza. It’s not Chicago pizza. It’s not Detroit pizza. It’s not St. Louis style pizza. It’s just pizza, for the casual consumer.
EGGPLANT appetizer — Just okay. Unless you’re a vegetarian on a mission, I wouldn’t really suggest ordering this item. No wood-​fired taste at all. Just a bunch of really chewy cheese, good red sauce and average eggplant.
WINGS — Excellent. Great fire-​roasted flavor. Served with roasted onions. We had the honey garlic flavor, but were advised after that the most popular and tastiest was the dry-​rubbed wings. Probably would have been helpful intel prior to ordering, not after.
Service was not bad and the place looked pretty orderly and clean. Only thing I saw that was of concern were some folded pizza boxes sitting on the floor. I sure hope they’re not putting pizzas in boxes that have been on the ground. That is a huge health code violation.
All-​in-​all, I will go 3 stars. The pizza was pretty good, but I wouldn’t make a special trip to Palm Harbor for it. If I was already there, and craving pizza, then I would probably return.

Great place for a take out pizza. Serivice is a little on the slow side and usually they are understaffed which makes for unhappy servers. The pizza however is well worth the wait, have never been disappointed with the quality and taste of the pizza. Always consistant which is very nice as there are no unpleasant surprises. Lots of pizzeria’s around so it’s safe to say that is one is on my top 5 pizza places.

Still love this place. Sauce is good maybe put a little too much on their pizza. But delicious.

The cheese pizza is beyond amazing !! The Magherita pizza is delicious. Not crazy about the honey garlic parm wings.
Eating outside at sunset is fly heaven. I’m not of fan of having pets in the place where I’m eating but if upu are then you’ll be happy. The waitress also said she gets attacked by sand fleas a lot.
The staff was friendly and again the pizza, was delicious

Good, but was not blown away. Ordered a large Supremo, tasty, but definitely will not be making it on my list for top pizza In Florida. $ 21.95, and not worth the price tag for me. It didn’t make me want to over indulge in a last, but unnecessary piece like I usually do when I’m eating something extra delicious. Ordered a Greek Salad that was $ 7.95. Looks big in the pic, but it’s small. Everything is spread out on the plate and it had very little lettuce. For 7.95?, they’re nuts. I was expecting a salad a bit bigger than that. It was about the size of a side salad u get along with an entrée meal. I tried it, it’s not bad. That’s all.

Fireside is hands down one of my favorite local spots. Living only a couple miles away, I’ve dined here often. My sister got me hooked, who knows all the staff and they all greet us like family when we walk in. It’s not a huge restaurant, but I love the cozy feel.
For an app, I ALWAYS get the wings. You won’t have wings like Fireside’s anywhere else. With lots of sauce and the perfectly sautéed onions, they’re a must and you won’t have leftovers. I also order a side Caesar salad which can be split between two people (my sis and I do this). That also has it’s own unique flavor. Garlic knots are big and garlicky!
The pizza is AMAZE. I think I’ve had just about every single one including a gluten free pie. The Carne is my top favorite. When it comes out, I can barely wait for it to cool before diving in like Tony Soprano at a Sunday dinner. Never had a sandwich, but I recently brought my cousin to check it out here and he fell in love with the chicken parm sub more than his pregnant fiancée. It was «that good.»
Everything about Fireside is great — the staff, pizza, appetizers, wide selection of beers, atmosphere, and location too. Cent’ anni! (To 100 years! In Italian)
