Spaghetti and meatballs weren’t exceptional, but adequate. Consider the following when ordering: This is thin-crust pizza and you can eat a lot of it. Overall value is moderate at best: a small cheese pizza, which one semi-burly adult with any sort of stomach could easily polish off, runs $9.45 toppings are $1.25. Low on sauce, with just the right amount of cheese, everything above the crust was tasty and picture-perfect. On a second visit, a sausage-and-sauerkraut pizza was better. The toppings are hit or miss - on one visit, a custom pizza came topped with a few mealy Roma slices, tasteless mushrooms and onions, and average pepperoni. As a whole, the pizza lacks the complex layers and creative flavors of local stalwarts like its thin-crust competitor, Red’s Savoy, and Pizza Luce - maybe, however, that’s the point. When it comes to pizza, the Fireside focus seems to be above the crust, which is a glorified Saltine: white-flour, crisp, and ultra-thin. Served with a bowl of warm red sauce, it was hearty and well-executed. There’s also a patio.Ĭheese bread is a stand-out dish in keeping with the place’s style: A half-order for $3.95 contained three slices of crisp Italian bread loaded with melted pizza cheese. The atmosphere has a homey, dark-wood-booth vibe including two floor-to-ceiling plastic trees and - yes - a fireplace. In business for 50 years, Fireside Pizza looks the part of a small-town eatery and gathering place it’s lined with local sports memorabilia and photos of little league teams the joint has sponsored. If the Richfield water tower is the north anchor of the 66th and Penn corridor, Fireside Pizza is the south.
