When I find yourself living in a place other than where I grew up, I think I’m always subconsciously keeping an eye out for some of my favorite items from home. Especially, when it comes to food. This is a prime example of success!

Sold! Diana was in flatbread heaven! It’s always nice to find some comfort away from home.
I actually came across Fireside Pies on a girls night last year. Super delicious and more recently they have been opening up more locations throughout the metroplex. Handy, considering one recently opened up not too far from me. So the other evening, I said to myself, “Let’s have some pizza!” So I ordered to go and it was just as good as being in the restuarant.
I went with the “Triple ‘Roni”.
Basic, simple, can’t go wrong.
“Pepperoni, Fresh Mozzerella, Hand-Torn Basil and Truffle Oil”
The “Pie” was fresh, light and oh so good. Now, we should talk about the basil because it was indeed my favorite part. Now, the basil came on the side in a little container, since I got it to go. To be honest, I kind of just threw it on so I could take a picture (I was starving! It’s hard driving home and smelling the goodness!). When I went to actually eat each slice, I tore them into some smaller pieces. The basil brings a kind of sweet kick to your slice. If you go out or make homemade pizza’s, experiement and try it for yourself. I loved it.
If you are into trying new things, be sure to check out their menu as it has many variables. Appetizers, salads, desserts, they even have soda floats!
If you are a little more daring then myself, you can try out something new:
Molten Meatballs with Roasted Red Onions and Roasted Red Peppers.
Homemade Spicy Sausage, Roasted Garlic-Herb, Whipped Ricotta & Chopped Tomatoes.
or you can try
Peta Pie – Mont Chevre Goat Cheese, Balsamic Mustard Portobellas, Arugula, Roasted Red peppers, Roasted Pinon Nuts & Charred Tomato Vinaigrette
The pies are a little pricy so plan on spending between $12-$15 for a pie. It’s a nice way to treat yourself is how I see it. Parking – it’s quite a popular spot so be patient with parking spots and possibly waiting on a table. Keep in mind – if it’s busy, it must be pretty good right?!
