Found them at the farmers market in Urbana. They use all fresh ingredients and make your order super fast! I had the Margherita pizza and it was delicious. But beware, the person after me tried to order the same thing but they were out of spinach; you have to get there early because they sell fast! read more

Dragon Fire Pizza - Margherita pizza - Food Trucks Near Me

I was really intrigued by the idea of a pizza truck that makes oven fired pizzas, so I finally hunted this truck down to try. The lady who took my order was extremely friendly and inviting. In no time, my Margherita pizza was out. The pizza was beautiful. It had a little less cheese than I'm used to; however, it didn't need more. The sauce and the crust were the true stars of this pizza. The bites with cheese were a nice complement, however, I still would have given it a five star review if it had no cheese at all. The pizza is very flavorful without being greasy. They really mastered the pizza truck! I felt like I had ordered a pizza off of a fancy Italian restaurant. read more

My favorite food truck in CU. I haven't had a bad pizza yet. They come to Downtown Champaign on occasion and the line gets long quickly--and for good reason! They are able to quickly make their delicious pizzas and they're consistently tasty. I have tried the Red Dragon a couple of times; great for those who only want mild spice from pepperoni and onion. My husband took the Dragon Fire pizza challenge--it is spicy to the max. I have also gotten a custom veggie pizza with spinach, peppers, and onion, and was very pleased. Even though the crust is thin, it holds up well with multiple toppings. I like folding the slices in half, NYC style, to get all the good stuff in one bite. Courteous, fast, professional, and tasty pizza to go for $10? Yes, please. read more

Dragon Fire Pizza - Veggie pizza: spinach, peppers, and onion. - Food Trucks Near Me

ERMAGERD PIZZA. Yeah, so now that I said that.... This was a random last minute early lunch choice and dang... just....dang. So first of all the owner is super friendly with his customers. This dude obviously has a sense of humor and likes his job. I got a Gold Dragon and it was amazing. I went to Italy and I feel like a crust snob. It needs to be crunchy and chewy at the same time for me to really love it. Dragon Fire Pizza nailed it. (Yeah for you!) The pizza size is just enough to look like you can't eat it all, but then somehow you magically can. Boom! It's just gone. So needless to say, I ate the whole thing myself. It was hot, it was fresh, it was flavorful and it was pizza. Do I really need to say more? Like the owner said "What American doesn't like pizza" Just go. And don't plan to share. read more

I went to the Tuesday night farmer's market downtown Champaign and saw the Dragon Fire Pizza food truck. I heard about it and have seen my friends eat some of their pizza. So I decided to give it a try. They have seven specialty pizzas that already have toppings picked out. There is also the option of creating your own pizza. I ordered the Margherita pizza and a Red Dragon pizza. While I was waiting for the pizzas to come out of the oven, I asked the workers about how they make the pizzas and what was unique about them. They make the pizzas "neopoliton" style which refers to the way Italians make their pizza. The dough is hand-tossed and the pizza is baked in a ceramic oven. The workers were really friendly and helpful in choosing a pizza that I would like. We took the pizza home, which was about 15 minutes away. The pizza was still warm, but not as warm as it would have been when coming out of the oven. In my experience, I would take my pizza and eat it as soon as it was ready. Dragon Fire pizzas are not like regular American pizza's because the crust isn't seasoned and there isn't an overload of cheese. It is an acquired taste that I would recommend delving into. read more

It was ok. I think maybe I had super high expectations... I'll definitely try it again. Lots of other people clearly love it and the staff was friendly. I had a classic dragon/margherita pizza. That's a go-to pizza for me, so I've had lots of others to compare it to. I know some people do red sauce like these guys did, but I prefer the olive oil/no sauce version. (That's how I had it in Italy, so to me that's how I always want it.) I just thought this kinda lacked flavor. There wasn't nearly enough basil for my tastes either. read more

Dragon Fire Pizza - Classic dragon. Aka margherita pizza. - Food Trucks Near Me

Find this truck and order 2 pies. One for now and one for later. Best pizza in Champaign or Savoy. You're eating a fresh hot crispy pizza within 5 minutes of ordering. I took 2 to go as kind of a take and bake. He even left it little light so when I reheated it later, per his directions, it came out great. read more

One of my favorite food trucks in town. Pizza is fast and delicious. Great ingredients and friendly service. I always hit them up at Tryptich and the Farmers Market, but always use their locator during the week! You never know when they'll be nearby. I always go for the Dragon Fire with Ghost Pepper, because I love that next day burn. read more

Neapolitan style pizza!!! Just find them!! It's amazing! Ghost pepper pizza is my favorite!!! read more

I tried their pizza last fall at an event at Prairie Gardens. Delicious! Lots of interesting pizzas to choose from and they made it quickly. Since they are a food truck I don't have the opportunity to catch them often, but definitely worth a try. read more

I've had the pleasure of having almost everything on the Dragon Fire menu, and I have to say I'm very impressed. I like spicy food and I was pleased with their self-named "Dragon Fire". Spicy isn't the only thing they do though. The Red Dragon is probably my second favorite. I'm not a vegetarian, but I was impressed with the large number of vegetarian pizza choices they have. And for the non-vegetarians out there, with most of them you don't even know you're eating something without meat. Probably the best aspect of their pizzas is the dough. It's very chewy, but not undercooked. It kind of reminded me of a warm flat-bread (like the kind you would use for a gyro) but thinner and warm. It folds easily so it's not droopy. Probably the best advice I can give would be for you to bookmark the "Finder" page on their website. They keep a current calendar and Twitter feed on there so you'll always know where they are. read more

This is darn good pizza. Super fast and super friendly! I have been to the Dragon Fire Pizza food truck a few times since they love to park between work and my bank and I have never been disappointed. The prices are reasonable and the selection is fun! I cant stay away from a place that lets me try ghost peppers in a different way. I have shared this pizza with my family and we can always find something that everyone will like. The pizza are a generous size for lunch and I usually opt to share them, but all the boys in my family could easily (and happily) eat the whole thing. I usually pick one up on my lunch break after I go to the bank because they cook so quickly I always have plenty of lunch time left to enjoy it! read more

90 seconds to get a delicious wood fire style pizza!! If you see this food truck in town, definitely worth a try. It pairs excellent with wine or beer ;) read more

I love this food truck. In my books, this is the best pizza in Champaign. They are super friendly and always helpful. Their pizza comes out fast (90 seconds if there's no line) and within 5 minutes if there is a line (after you place your order). They have the standard toppings -- pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, etc.... as well as some different pizzas such as dragon fire (green chile sauce, jalepenos, hot sausage and to make it spicier -- ghost peppers) and once in a while, a SMORES pizza -- marshmallows, m&ms, chocolate sauce.... so good. And they even have a secret menu -- ie. brisket BBQ!!!! The crust is soft, chewy AND foldable!! They have an awesome char on the bottom and the cheese is to die for. Everything is spot on!!! No complaints!!! They were even nice enough to drive out to our house and cater my 5yr old's birthday party --- they were a hit with everybody!!!! I love this place. Follow them on twitter or FB to figure out where they're going to set up for the day!!! read more

Dragon Fire Pizza - Jalapeno, red onion and pepperoni! - Food Trucks Near Me

Dragon Fire is awesome! The dragon fire with the ghost pepper cheese is my favorite, with the bronze dragon being a close second. Their specialty pizzas are all really good, but with the speed of their cooking and the wood-fired oven you will get a little bit of a burnt taste. In my opinion, their regular pizzas (plain sausage, pepperoni, cheese, etc) are just average. The service is really great. Dave and his staff are always super friendly. Like I stated previously, I love all of the specialty pizzas I've tried from them but their regular pizzas are a little too burnt-tasting for my liking. read more

Going with 4 stars despite the fact the pizza seems a bit bland for a company that calls itself DRAGON FIRE PIZZA! They were at the farmers market today so decided to support the locals trying hard to bring fresh local products to CU. They were out of pepperoni so went with the homemade smoked Italian sausage and green/red peppers from the original menu. Kinda bland...could not taste any fennel or red pepper flakes or anything at all for that matter in the sausage. Added jalapeno peppers for some zing but got about a tablespoon of chopped fresh peppers for $1.50 extra which I could not taste. If you want to consistently taste jalapenos use PICKLED JALAPENOS...the fresh ones vary dramatically from scorching hot to nothing...I got nothing this time. But I think the real problem is that they simply dont use enough salt in the dough or sauce. I know I know...salt is evil, but without proper seasoning you have just plain bland food, especially when using fresh vegis which dont come seasoned! I thought I would fix the problem back at the Hyatt Hotel by adding salt pepper and hot sauce but even then its to late...seasoning must be throughout, you just cant put it on top. Still give Dragon Fire 4 stars because they are obviously trying very hard and everything is truely fresh but I dont think 5 minutes from ordering to presenting is enough time to crisp the crust and heat the ingredients through. Slices were limp and just barely hot...how bout 7 minutes...I can spare another 2 minutes for a really great crispy crust and flavorful pizza. Is it worth $11 including the added peppers? - ABSOLUTELY. Give them a try...hope they take some of this to heart. Bravo guys! read more

If you'd told me a year ago that I'd see a portable brick oven tooling around Champaign-Urbana, selling pizza that they bake with fire in just a few minutes, I'd have said you were crazy. But that's exactly what Dragon Fire Pizza is. And their pizza is amazing. I'd never heard of Neapolitan-style pizza--I'm usually a deep-dish fan myself--but this pizza is seriously fantastic. Really, really tasty, with lots of flavor options, and a crunchy-chewy-slightly-toasty crust that's something special. Plus, the people are really friendly and you can tell they earnestly want you to have the best experience possible. I've visited their truck a number of times, and I always come away happy. Also, they're big on supporting the community--and great with kids! We invited them to my son's cub scout troop and they very handily taught a bunch of rowdy kids how to stretch their own pizza dough and make their own pizzas. It was unforgettable--the kids AND the parents enjoyed it a lot. When you see them out and about--and they're hard to miss!--do yourself a favor and check 'em out! read more

Did you know that on Thursdays Dragon Fire Pizza Truck is at Triptych? Now you know that. Did you know that on Thursdays, Triptych runs one of their beers through a Randall? (do you know what a randall is?) (a randall is a device, sold by Dogfish Head, that infuses things into beer. Kind of like a reverse water filter, instead of taking impurities out, it puts other things in). Now you know that too. I believe this week, triptych will be doing the Red-5 with ginger/lemon tea. This would go great with a pizza. Next week, they are looking to do Sprung with Pineapple (which would go great with a Hawaiian pizza, don't you think?) Try the green snot pizza, I hear it's amazing! read more

The pizza is good, but only sometimes. Depending on who makes your pizza, sometimes they can overcook and burn the pizza! Crispy carcinogenic bits taste good only in small doses. read more

A little over rated in my opinion. Over priced for the size and quality. Practically a pizza served on a naan(Indian flat bread). For the same price I feel I could have gotten more food at a chain pizza joint. read more

The pizza is OK. I had a margherita - it's unbearably salty. Like, tears in your eyes salty. Mozzarella behaves strangely and it's loaded with some kind of oil I can't identify. Anyway, it's a pretty decent pizza for the price (Around $8). Edit: Spoke with the owner, and have since had much, much better pizzas :) I'll keep an eye on this place and keep going - I think I just got them on an off day! read more

Easily one of my favorite food trucks here in town! I have had both the Bronze Dragon (sausage, mushroom, peppers with tomato sauce) and the Dragon Fire (sausage, peppers, onions, jalapeños with spicy green sauce), and both are excellent. I tried one of their weekly specials (BBQ chicken pizza) last week and I did not care for it as much (and it was much more expensive). They offer it on cardboard rounds if you are eating immediately, or in a box if you are taking it to go. They also offer a ghost pepper cheese add-on to the Dragon Fire that I have not been brave enough to try yet, but I've heard that is good as well. Very friendly staff, and it's freshly made pizza brick-oven pizza in just a few minutes. read more

Very good pizza. Their green dragon sauce is delicious. Spicy, but not overwhelming. They also had the option of ghost pepper cheese to turn up the heat a bit. It sounds scary, but was very good (and not too spicy). I'm also fascinated that they managed to install a wood-fired brick oven on a food truck. Such a neat idea, and they executed it well. With pizza, you worry about how long it will take to get an order out, but they can pump out pizzas quickly. We used them for a kids party, and they were able to turn out 50+ pizzas in under an hour. It was incredible. We'd use them again in a heartbeat for a party. They were very accommodating. It was nice to have the guests get whatever they wanted without worrying about appeasing everyone with my topping choices. The ingredients are quite good too. The Neapolitan style dough is thin and crispy and delicious. You may want to ask them to leave it in the oven a bit longer if you want it crispier. read more

So after my previous review, I have had pizza from here many times and they were cooked beautifully each time. Hope, the consistency in quality remains like this forever. And also, please never ever stop making green sauce. I love it so much. read more

Their dragon fire pizza is AWESOME. Just the right amount of spice and packed with flavor. I was fortunate enough to buy some while chopping down our Christmas tree at Pheasant Ridge and it made the experience that much better. Best wood fired pizza in the area. read more

Tried it tonight at Triptych, and was not disappointed. My wife and I had been wanting to try Dragon Fire for a while, and it was glorious. The service was friendly, and it only took about 5 minutes for our pizza to be ready. We had the "Bronze" and I noticed the sausage, and all ingredients for that matter, were fresh. Try this place if you ever have the chance. You could probably eat an entire pizza by yourself, but we opted to share one. Next time I'll probably get my own. Good stuff. read more

Excellent pizza. Really great addition to the champaign urbana food scene. Great spot to eat at lunch with short wait times and high quality ingredients. After eating here again, I still think it is great. I'd definitely recommend ordering your pizza with fresh mozzarella as one of the ingredients. read more

Best pizza I've ever had. The crust is perfectly cooked. A little pricey, but totally worth it.

We stopped by when we noticed the new food truck at the Boneyard Creek Celebration in Urbana. It looked really attractive with the brick oven and everything. We came up to read the menu and I found the woman at the register to be a pushy sales person. When we finally decided on a pizza and were getting ready to pay, she interjects a comment about how we should leave a tip for the baker. How rude to insist that we tip? Doesn't the baker make a full wage? He's no waitress after all. We probably would have tipped anyway but it felt strange to be pressured like that. Also, I'm almost positive that they're grossly abusing the term "local" because it's trendy. The peppers were all listed as locally grown...then it occurred to me, it's April in central illinois, what kind of crazy magician is able to grow bell peppers right now?? News Flash: no perversion of the english language could allow for California, Mexico, or Florida to be considered local to central illinois! I would have even accepted "regional" but local? No way. In the end, the pizza was okay, just okay. read more

Quick and delicious! I've had Dragon Fire Pizza a few times and they are always very friendly. I was surprised how quickly I could receive a delicious oven fired pizza. read more

Tried them for the first time today at the Urbana food truck rally. Had the margherita pizza and even though it wasn't the best I've had, it was still pretty decent. I think the brick oven just adds to the charm. The wait time was pretty nominal as well. Won't go for the same thing again though. Might try something else next time. read more

Dave, you're the best. The Margherita pizza was top-notch. Thanks for participating in the Uncork Urbana Event!

Family reunion at our house in August 2017. Dragon Pizza came to our residence to serve 50 people of all ages. What a hit!! Family members were pleased to get a personal pizza with their OWN choices and the reunion hosts didn't have to spend hours in the hot sun grilling hamburgers and brats. It was a win-win! My husband lived in Naples, Italy and I lived in Sicily, so we appreciate the wood roasted pizzas that we remember from our past. Great pizza! Love them and wish they had a permanent location in addition to truck. Owner and staff also hard working, service oriented people. Our family will talk about this reunion for years and the individual pizzas! Thank you. read more

Best woodfire pizza in CU so far!!! Excellent service and always piping hot, made to eat.

If you think this is good pizza, you need to get out more. I tried two kinds: the bronze dragon and the breakfast pizza. I honestly couldn't tell you which was supposed to be which. Maybe it was because the line was long, but the crust was underdone and too doughy, and the sausage, which was on both pizzas, was still pink. I'm not from the Midwest and I have yet to find pizza that even comes close to what I'm used to in PA/NJ/NY. read more

Awesome I absolutely loved the yummy pizza you got to love this place it has all your wildest dreams

Not sure why people like it so much. It's okay pizza, at a high price. Actually, that's unfair, since I've only tried them at two festivals, so maybe their rates were higher due to that. I'll update my review next time I try them out. But the festival was expensive for 2 small pieces. Wasn't worth it. read more
