You ever walk in a place and immediately feel the service is off but you try and be optimistic and give it a chance? My reservation was for standard seating and I was sat at a high top near the bar. Service started out bad and slow. The manager saw me sitting a while waiting and didn't acknowledge me at all. But my friend was late so that was fine. The waitress then finally came and gave me water. I then asked for a mimosa before she rushed off. Once she came back, I tried to start placing an order but she rushed off while I was mid sentence. Once my friend was there I then asked the manager to move us to the standard seating I reserved and I expressed that it was to receive better service, she asked if my service was bad and to avoid confrontation or conflict I didn't go into details. I also acknowledged it could be rough managing the bar and the high top tables. Once reseated I shared with her my brief experience and she said "I hope it gets better for you." Our new waitress was very pleasant and made the experience worthy of a 3 Star rating. If it wasn't for her, I'd give them a 2 star. EVERYTHING WAS SERVED SLOW AND COLD, EVERYTHING. Not yelling, just emphasizing LOL. The breakfast food was very cold. Not fresh at all, even the eggs had a weird taste. The grits were the only thing I could enjoy. Burnt sausage and bacon etc. So I ordered salad, pizza, and meatball. The taste was fine, but still very cold. Overall a horrible experience. Getting a reservation and parking was easy. The drinks were great, well priced and amazing, so kudos to the bartender for that, she just isn't a good waitress. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed this place, as busy as it was. Thankfully I made reservations. There's parking nearby which helps although if you're lucky you can get street parking very close by. The setting is comfortable for family and friends, and a really cool date. I've had a hard time finding a solid pizza and this place has great pizza and very fair prices; I was shocked. I went with the Pig Newton, my wife the red Sicilian, and son the Barcelona. All were delicious and had great crusts (I'm not a crust person). Also had to try the bacon fat fries as well and glad I did. read more

We got pizza to go today. My girlfriend has been wanting to try this place for a while. The black sheep is a Margherita style pizza with lamb sausage which was a unique touch. Overall the pizza was quite good. My girlfriend got the Margherita style pizza and she said it was fantastic. She personally said it was better than Stracci's but I would disagree. Would go again however. read more

Fire Works Pizza - 10" Margherita TG 10" Black Sheep TG - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This place surprised me. It was better than I expected. Atmosphere - It was clean and had an outdoor sitting area as well. We opted to stay indoors. Customer service - On point. Our server was friendly and attentive. Food - This is what got me! I wasn't expecting to go to a pizza place and get grilled artichokes or truffle fries. They even had a frozen mule. The mule is one of my favorite cocktails. I also love frozen margaritas so, being able to get a frozen mule seemed to be the best of both worlds! I would definitely come here again and return with friends. Great spot for hanging out. read more

Great recommendation from my co-worker who knows all the happening places in Arlington. Well the DMV to be honest. In fact, she should be a Yelper! I'll have to tell her that! Was looking for a low key happy hour spot with outdoor seating. This choice was perfect - checked all the boxes! Happy hour specials until 7! Plenty of street parking! Fair prices! Superb service by Marie - thank you!! For my drinks, I did the Knob Creek Old Fashioned and the Orange Blossom. My friend did the red sangria, which she loved! For food, I did the margherita flatbread - tasty! My friend tried the mozzarella bites. We both had a great time! I would definitely come back here! read more

This happy hour is 10/10! It is currently from 4-7, which is honestly when all happy hours should be. There is a great variety of food and drink specials. The portions are generous. All around great value! The happy hour pizza is presented as flat bread, but it is basically any of their signature pie toppings served on a smaller hand-held pizza in the shape of a flatbread. It is plenty big and the toppings are generous. Don't sleep on the margarita pizza, the garlicky sauce is amazing! The fried zucchini could come with something a little more exciting than thousand island dressing, but again the portion was great and the value is awesome. I will definitely be coming back for another happy hour this summer! read more

Fire Works Pizza - The fireworks pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Because I had never tired this restaurant I tried the sampler, I will say the wings are the best part. I tried the Thai sweet chili and it was the best thing that I tried. Their sliders are pretty good. The cheese bites and garlic knots were okay but the wings made up for it. We also ordered kids spaghetti, pizza, and the lamb meatballs. The lamb meatballs are pretty big, not your average sized and they were pretty flavorful. The spaghetti was just okay. I probably wouldn't try it again. The pizza was pretty good, flavorful and fresh ingredients. I would recommend trying their happy hour specials and tasting the wings ! read more

Amazing happy hour even on Saturday throughout the restaurant! $6 flatbreads, very yummy and an amazing deal! They'll make any signature pizza a flatbread! Fried zucchini was also good, and my bourbon cocktail (Pama smash) for $8 was fantastic. Gluten free crust also available. Very fast service with our group of 10. I will definitely plan to return. read more

Food was less than par. Avo toast was Avo bread. Not toasted. Told server I didn't like hard boiled egg, so I asked for a fried egg or over easy. She brought me a hard boiled egg fried in a batter?? I asked for the egg and explained again and it was brought when we asked for the check. Took almost 10 min to get syrup. I barely ate any of my food, server asked if I wanted a to-go box. I said no, the food wasn't very good. She said ok, walked away and brought over the CC machine. The machine auto prompted to 20%. Bad bad bad. read more

Being a New Yorker, my pizza standards are pretty high, and yes, I can be obnoxious about it (Shrug). I typically judge a pie on 3 things: 1) the crust - can't be too thick, should have a nice char and can't be pillowy; 2) the sauce - shouldn't be too sweet and should taste of tomatoes; and 3) the toppings- should compliment each other and not overload the pie. In all of these categories, I think fireworks pizza mostly delivered. We tried the Fire "Works" and Sweet Heat pies. The flavors on both were great. The crust could've been slightly thicker, but it wasn't a deal breaker. We also tried the tangy, hot and sweet (THS) fried wings, and they're fantastic. We capped the meal with their beet and goat cheese salad. The service was great. Can't wait to go back and dine in next time. read more

They have put the wrong thing in my order multiple times. I've ordered certain beverages and they put the wrong things in the order.

Good pizza and they even have gluten free options, all good tasting. I enjoy pizza and salad on my date nights,

Pretty large restaurant seating area. Casual ambiance for happy hours. Loved the 6$ flatbreads and menu option for drinks! I got the margherita flatbread and it was actually really good. Nothing that is mind-blowing and super unique. Others around me said the same for their food. I think happy hour and brunch would be best for your money and time here. The service was swift and prompt. read more

Solid option for a food spot in the Clarendon area. I have to give it three stars because the food just doesn't compare to the restaurants give four stars to, but I have nothing bad to say about Fire Works Pizza. The bar area has a bunch of TVs and seating, so this is a great spot if you're looking for a place to watch sports games. We got there around 5PM on a Saturday and there wasn't a lot of people, but by the time we left it was packed. So either get there early to stake out a good spot or make a reservation. While it is a pizza place, I like that the menu is expansive and has a variety of dishes other than pizza. I'm a sucker for shoestring fries and these Bacon Fat fries were great. If they had some type of aioli to go with it, it would be out of this world! For my main meal, I went with the smoked chicken penne. It tasted good and I appreciated the nice thick chunks of bacon. The portion size is pretty good so it'll also keep you full. I also had the beignet bites which Since they are bite-sized they're not as fluffy on the inside as a regular beignet. It still tasted nice and was a great way to finish the meal. I wasn't a huge fan of the strawberry dipping sauce but it did the job. The portion size again was a lot, which was great. It came with 15-20 pieces. You definitely get a bang for you buck at Fire works, so overall I enjoyed it. read more

Wow. Been coming here on and off for years. I've always approeciated the wood fired pizza with a great crust, and there greta beer list. Went in for a drink with a colleague, stayed for a solo dinner. My greek Salad was great. But ... The classic style pizza was oversauced. So much sauce that the cheese and sauce couldn't blend. SO much sauce that the whole pizza cooled down way too fast. IT WASN"T GOOD. So I made a very quiet approach to the manager (I had to ask the hostess to find her because she was dressed the same as all employees.) While she offered me a new pizza, she did so with a ship load of attitude. Sorry won't be back, the current management blew an opportunity to turn a loss into a win. read more

Fire Works Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I've eaten here a few times and the food is fantastic. I love the pizzas so much I always end up eating more than I probably should. The kitchen is open pretty late here, so it makes it a good spot for a late night meal or a pizza and drinks. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate that there are so many pizza and food options for me, since sometimes cheese or build your own pizzas are my only option. The Bianco pizza came loaded with fresh vegetables such as onions, spinach, and red peppers. Honestly, there were way more toppings on the pizza than I expected, so I really loved that! The pizzas come in two sizes, 10 inches which is a personal pizza, or 14, which is like a medium / large. I usually get the bigger size and take home left overs, or split it with my boyfriend. If the two of us split something, we can usually eat the whole pizza if we are really hungry because they are very good and not too large! read more

Came here with a group of girls because even though it was raining the outdoor patio is fully covered! Our server was amazing and very patient with our group. She came often to make sure we had everything we needed. We ordered drinks and the fire works sampler -- everything was good! Loved the jalapeño poppers. We ordered half black sheep and half fire works. Black sheep...wow. I'm still dreaming about it! The lamb, feta, and balsamic mix was delicious!!! We also got a Greek salad with chicken, it was good but the chicken was wayy too peppery for my liking. Overall really nice spot. Will probably come back for more pizza! read more

The table was half wiped and it was oily. Bathrooms were not cleaned for a while and 2 of the stalls didn't have toilet paper. One of the sink had throw up. Paper towels are overflowing in the trash can. All the pizzas were overly cheesy!!! Spinach dip was cheesy and not much spinach in them. The chicken wing was very saucy as well. Nothing other than green tea in the hot tea selection. Service was not great! Server barely checked in on us. No napkins. No straws until we are asked and had to wait for a while. Do not recommend and wouldn't come back. read more

My usual go to is Pepperoni pineapple for my pizzas, but decided to go for the Sweet Heat off the menu. Loved that the large pepperoni slices that covered every inch of the pizza. Jalapeños were fresh and got nicely roasted in the oven. It wasn't too sweet, just a hint of the honey. Ordered Uber Eats for the first time from here. The middle portion of the crust was a little soggy, but the outer portion was crispy. Overall, great pizza for delivery. read more

Crazy good! It's easy to have an attitude about any restaurant! This place was recommended by my son for Father's Day! Perfect day for outside seating! They have high tops and picnic tables! We appreciate the traditional seating! The food hit a range from good to fantastic! It also depends on how busy the kitchen was on quality! We had two wait staff who were very attentive! We went bottomless brunch ! It certainly a lot of choices ! We went the gambit of small plates ! The winners were : the lamb meatballs and shrimp kabobs! The Cinnamon Bun hit from great to good! The first round was fresh and hot . The next round was cold and hard . It's great with dunking in coffee! The egg Benedict was good not great! A little over cooked with a little scrambles of sausage over a commercial type biscuit! Great salad ! Yogurt yum! The chicken was my most desired and most disappointing! Commercial biscuit was hard and the chicken breast was overcooked! The flavor was on point! Parking is a challenge if your not used to the area! We parked near PNC about two blocks. Pink Grapefruit Mimosas not on the menu but great! The OJ was not sweat and I liked it! Only a $1 if you get bottomless! The breakfast burrito or whatever it was , was good according to my son and wife! It came with a curious salsa and it looked very homemade! They ambiance and the staff made it an amazing Father's Day! Good job son ! examen des cols bleus: read more

Great pizza in Arlington! I was on the hunt for a Hawaiian pizza, and knew that I had to order the Virginia Luau from here because they had it proudly on the menu (air high five for embracing the Hawaiian!). It definitely hit the spot, with a great balance of sweet pineapples and salty ham. The hubby got the Sweet Heat, which had pepperoni and chorizo with jalapenos and honey. It had quite a good heat to it. If you are ordering delivery during Covid-19, I recommend you call the restaurant directly as they take phone deliveries (and the proceeds go directly to the restaurant). Delivery was efficient and fast. Would definitely order from here again! read more

Fire Works Pizza (FWP) was a pleasant and unexpected find!!! Aimlessly looking for something to eat and drink and happened to stumble upon FWP. I had every intention of getting pizza because after all it is a pizzeria but as you can imagine they do have other options which is exactly what I found myself getting. For the pizza lover in you, they have tons of options to chose from and yes you can make your own as well. They offer two options for sizes, a 10 and a 12 inch. The 10 in is enough for one person and the 12 is if you want to share or possible want some to take home. I decided on the Mussels with the Chorizo, white wine and cream sauce and lets just say I am not at all disappointed that I did not get pizza. The mussels came out in a cast iron pot with the lid on it so when the waiter took the lid off, all the seat came bellowing out and the aroma of the dish filled the air!! Every shell had a mussel in it, the fries were still crispy and delicious as they were resting on top of the mussels. The cream sauce was indeed amazing with the chorizo being shredded which made it easy to dip and scoop into with the crosstini bread that was served with it. I feel like I can taste it al over again as I write this lol. My friend had the Smoked Chicken Penne which consisted of smoked chicken, peas, spinach, bacon in a parm garlic cream sauce and it was good. The sauce was creamy, chicken had a nice seasoning to it and the portion size was generous and enough to share. Their Blackberry Sangria is legit too!! Very refreshing and it's one of those sangria's you can drink over and over again because it tastes so good but you know you have to watch your step when you get up, you know just because. Service was good but hit a rough patch at one point because the waiter disappeared for a bit but thankfully the other waiters where on super coverage duty and filled in and picked up the pieces along the way. Totally appreciated! The interior is welcoming. The bar has plenty of seating and they have an outdoor patio that is lit at night, which I am sure is adorbs when the weather is warmer. Needless to say I would come back and actually have pizza since there were a few that caught my eye. read more

Generic suburb and pizzeria. Was poorly heated when we went in winter. Beer selection was great and food was as expected. Fast service.

I love this place but what a #### is this????? First: I ordered by their website it take me through Toast delivering by doordash and I wait more than 2 hours!!! I called doordash, Toast they didn't helped me at all and finally I could talk with manager of Fireworks he solved my problem wich is just canceling my order as my request! 2nd: Their manager was pretty nice. So I ordered again exact same order , I expected my order will come fresh of course! but I RECEIVED MY FIRST ORDER WHICH IS I ORDERED 3 hours ago!!!! look at this spilled all over and freezing fries!!! even that delivery person apologized for this ALL I WANTED JUST A FRESH Cocktails even i ordered 2 times !!!! It's my very first review and I've never been disappointed like this!! read more

This is literally one of my favorite places in Arlington. A few reasons why: 1. A really great Happy Hour. Every night, 3-7 PM, good prices on drinks and food. 2. Excellent service: I have gotten nothing but amazing service every time I come here. The bartenders and managers here are excellent, and they know customer service. It feels homey in a way that not every bar in Arlington does, and I appreciate this greatly. 3. The food is great too: the pizzas are great, that grilled cheese with bacon is great, and they have these mozzarella cheese balls that are also great. 4. The beer selection: Court House luckily has 2 bars with excellent beer selection, and Fire Works in particular has an amazing panoply of local, regional (the only place I've seen in the DMV to this point that's a bar that has a regular selection from The Veil in Richmond), and national brews. The selection here is excellent whether you want something light, harder, seltzer, or whatever. All in all a great place to be. The only thing I haven't done yet here is brunch, but I should do that at some point. read more

Came here on a week night for a friend's birthday dinner. We were a pretty large party and our server handled everything so well. I didn't get a lot of pics but the wings were so yummy. We got Sweet Thai chili, lemon pepper and garlic parm. The mozzarella bites were good too. My friend and I got a large pizza with half Sweet Heat (pepperoni, chorizo, jalapeños, honey drizzle) and half the Fire Works (Italian sausage, pepperoni, onions, green peppers, mushrooms). It was delicious! I tried a slice of the Tarfuto (white sauce with mushrooms and truffle salt) and that was really good too. You can also pick your own pizza toppings. I would definitely come back here. read more

Fireworks Pizza [FP]. [3 stars]. "Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing Do you know that there's still a chance for you? 'Cause there's a spark in you!" - Firework (Katie Perry) The obvious choice for a song I'm sure!! But I digress... I chose that song for the "paper-thin" and "buried deep" innuendos of pizza crust... I have been to FP on a few occasions because the BF loves pizza and he used to frequent this pizza parlor when he lived in Arlington. Truth is, I'm not a huge pizza fan except for Chicago deep dish (yes yes Yoda, you know I'm that stubborn mule who can't get over this fact!!) and that is a one slice and done for a month pizza craving!! I will try to keep this review as positive as I can because there are definitely positive aspects to FP!! First off, they have a FOOD FOR FIDO MENU!!! For those who turn their noses up or despise dogs, sorry but Arlington VA is probably the most dog-friendly community I have ever been to!! Love the options of proteins and desserts for our woofers and they are so affordable!! NOTE: Even though I am a dog lover, I agree and abide by FP's rules. DOGS ONLY ALLOWED ON THE OUTDOOR PATIO. On our last visit, I really enjoyed the flavors of the Marisco and the Siciliana White pizza. The garlic and olive oil permeated the otherwise texturally unsatisfying crust. I would highly recommend the Siciliana if you adore seafood and the Marisco if you enjoy Mediterranean cuisine. Both were delicious! So why such a dismal 3 star review? Because, for me, the pizza crust makes the difference. Yes, it also goes to say that each "type" of pizza has their own pros and cons. FP, from what I experienced, is more of a thin crust pizza. For me, if I am going to enjoy thin crust, it has to be SLIGHTLY CHARRED... NOT BURNT, with a crisp yet pleasant chew to it. The best way I can explain what I would expect in a thin crust is starting my bite with a saltine cracker and ending with bite of mochi. Not sure if that makes any sense to anyone but me... Ho Hum. Anyhow, I know we will be back because FP is the quintessential college pizza parlor with WICKED CHEAP GRINDZ and surprisingly fresh toppings... read more

After waiting for the pizza we ordered for nearly an hour after it was due for delivery. We called and learned the pizza had been ready, but there was no driver to deliver. A call would have been nice, with the option to pick up. But no. I canceled the order and sadly resorted to the box of crackers in our hotel room. Still waiting for the disputed charge to be resolved for over $30. Very disappointed. read more

Full disclosure: I haven't eaten in the restaurant, so I can't speak to service, atmosphere, etc. However, the fact that I am munching on a slice of cold pizza that I got *delivered* two days ago and it is absolute HEAVEN speaks to the quality of the food. We got garlic knots, and two "personal" pies. You certainly get enough with the 10" to stretch that to 2-3 meals. The garlic knots were good, but I prefer them doughier and slathered with garlicky butter. The pizza on the other hand. The. Pizza. My boyfriend had the meat lovers style Quattro Carni pizza with meatballs and such. He says it was really good. I had the Tartufo mushroom Brie pizza and it was just ridiculous. Really rich, so take that into consideration, but what a unique and delicious pie. I think it's even better cold, tbh, but maybe I'm just hungry. Can't wait to come try this place in person! read more
