EXCITING REVIEW BELOW!!!................................................... This review is about the wonderful staff. The delicious food. And an A-hole incident. I have worked in and run many restaurants over a 30 + year stretch, so I know how things work. I have been to this location 7-8 times and have always had the best, friendliest service. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure customers get what they want. They are always smiling and ask how we are doing. The food is excellent. You can order a custom pizza, or order one of their pizzas and add what you want for the same price! They also have great salads that you can customize to your liking. They have the usual sodas and teas AND Great bottled beer!! All ingredients are fresh. What more can you ask for from a nice, fast food-ish restaurant? This next part is long, but very important............................................... Sat, the 24th, my GF and I arrived about 8:50 to see if we could still eat in the restaurant. The girl was very welcoming and apologized that they might be cleaning around us once they closed. Since we got there VERY close to closing, I was more than happy with her reply. As we stood on line, a man at the front (who will be referred to as 'A-hole' from now on. my word, NOT the staffs) spent at least 10 minutes asking every kind of question about the toppings. I felt that if you go into a place 10 min before they are closing, a person could be a bit considerate. The girl rang up his food and as A-hole signed for it, he said the ingredients for the pizza were wrong. The girl apologized, but said it was what he ordered. She apologized again and said they would make him another. The first pizza got put to the side. A-hole ordered another pie using a VERY condescending attitude. "Maybe if you listened." " Seems like you could get an order right." "You know taking orders means listening." A-hole sat down and the rest of us ordered. I apologized (as we ordered) in a loud voice for him being an A-hole. My GF and I sat down. The guy got called for his pizza, got it and started eating. After 10-15 minutes, A-hole gets up, goes to the counter and tells the girl the pizza is made incorrectly. She apologized, but said it was what he had ordered. A-hole started making a stink and belittling her and the rest of the staff. He was telling the girl that apparently she could not hear. She replied that she did not take his order. A-hole argued the point for 5 (!) minutes, then realized he was wrong and said it was another girl (so apparently, he did not even recognize a person he had spent 5 + minutes talking to 15 minutes ago!). A-hole started telling the girl he was not satisfied with his 'customer experience', that he would not be back, that he demanded to get the pie for free (the girl explained that he had eaten half the pie before he said anything). And I believe that during the whole 'encounter' she had given him the first pie after he asked for it. A-hole kept ranting and b!tching, so the girl offered to call her manager, but A-hole refused. She insisted and called, but the manager did not answer. The girl gave the him the managers number and he stomped off, sat down and kept eating his pizza (!). Throughout the incident, the staff was obliging, apologetic and trying to make things right for A-hole. I had had enough of A-hole, so I went to the counter and asked for some paper, telling the girl that I wanted to give her my number and get the managers name so she could contact me about Mr. A-hole. I went and sat back down. After 2-3 minutes, A-hole gets up and asks if I wanna give him my number also. I said I didn't have anything to say to him. That I would talk with the manager about the incident. A-hole came over and stood right in front of me, saying it was none of my business and blah-blah. I told him he was an ass and that he had better get away from me. He pouted some and left after telling the staff he would refute the bill with his credit card company. After we had finished eating, I went an apologized to the staff again. They were very gracious about the whole thing. GF and I left and on the way to our car, there was A-hole at Starbucks patio, eating his pizza!! It takes a lot to serve people every day, People in the food industry are not lower than anyone else and they are not animals. Please take a moment to give some respect to the people around you that are doing their best to help you. One last thing.... Mr hippie, prissy, d!ck, 'holier-than-thou', A-hole. If you see this, and I bet you will, Feel VERY free to contact me and we can do breakfast, lunch or dinner :) PLEASE! read more

Great little place in Park Central. made to order personal pizzas and salads, all for $7.95. Salads are huge, pizzas are made quickly in wood fired oven. We were there on a quiet Labor Day, but on a workday it would be awesome for a quick lunch. Food was great - loved the steak and blue salad. I have to try one of their specialized pizzas next time - pesto chicken or Hawaiian barbecue. Oh, you have to try the Pookie - a warm chocolate chip cookie in a little pie pan with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for only $3.00. read more

Live across the street. Love the pizza and ability to customize. People were so nice. Meatball, pesto, tomato sauce, and pepperoni.

Huge line during lunch time. I went in and got a salad, as the woman was putting my salad together it seemed as though she had used the same gloves that she had just handled meat with. That should have been my warning...but I was hungry and on a time crunch. The next day I spend the morning with my head in the toilet bowl. Clearly food poisoning. Don't go here if you value your time and body. read more

Love! I'm enjoying this trend of Chipotle-like places popping up. The main thing about Fired Pie is that the crust is GOOD. I am picky about pizza crust, and theirs is exactly what I look for: thin and slightly crispy with decent bite. With a great foundation, you can make a pizza to your specifications, and it's such a great deal! I love trying combinations involving pesto sauce, chicken, and whatever veggies I fancy that day. Only complaint is they are only open until 4pm on Sundays, boo. read more

My partner and I loved going here for our quick pizza fix. Last night, that changed. Long story short, my pizza was served to me on a dirty pizza pan. Yes, it was lined with a paper liner. I didn't notice the how dirty the pan was until I finished eating and threw away the napkins and such. The pan was sticky, looked as if it was rancid yellowed oil all over it. It was disgusting. My partner's pizza pan, on the other hand, was pristine and clean and look brand new. I won't even mention the big gal's dismissive and aloof attitude. Oops. Just did. Anyway, we won't be going back there again. UPDATE: July 5, 2016 So to add insult to injury, the owner himself shoots me off an email in response to my review (see above). Basically he gives me an apology. He even offered to send a 'card' worth one free pizza pie or salad. Great! So I replied back with my mailing address and acceptance of his apology and free pizza/salad. Well, it's been almost a month now. Still waiting on that 'card' for a free pizza/salad. But wait. Don't bother. I've discovered a much better pizza joint. There's no need for me to ever go back to Fired Pie again. And I won't. My original review still stands. You're FIRED Fired Pie. Buh-bye. read more

Individual pizza at your desire. I love the crust, is thin and crispy. I don't like thick fatty crust. This pizza brought me memories of good times while I worked close by over a year ago. Their quality hasn't gone down and is open on weekends longer hours. read more

This fast-casual counter serve restaurant achieves the optimal intersection of value, quality, portion size, and convenience. The ingredients are fresh, and they are generous with both pizza and salad toppings. The price is very fair, and they don't even charge extra for premium ingredients like at many other chains. There is also always plenty of access to parking, even when they are busy at lunch time. read more

I came into fired pie tonight and had my sister in law who is from out of town with me. I was raving about how the pizzas are super consistent and no matter what nor how many they make at a time the crust is always the same. I myself am a restaurant manager so I know what it takes to make sure the guest are treated like home. So I ordered two pies and a salad and I never really order salad but my wife wanted to try one so we did, upon eating my pizza and digging into the salad we were almost done with the salad and we hit a metal screw. Well like I said I work in the industry and I went back to the counter and spoke to the young lady who took my orders and she was very apologetic and offered a new item I declined and went back to eat the rest of the pie. Well I had also ordered a pookie ( my goodness) and as I returned to the counter to ask for it she did a gesture that was very nice and very professional. I will forever comeback to this establishment and the young lady and crew fixed a situation with me and my family. Thank you . read more

Lunch is awesome and very fast. You get your pizza usually within 5-10 minutes. The range of choice for the toppings is pretty good. The only problem is the noise levels during lunch time. If you are looking for a quiet place this one is not for you. A lot of people come for lunch and it gets noisy but I like it. read more

A co-worker told my wife about the new pizza place at Park Central and I knew we had to go. We went in at 6 PM and were the only customers, although a few people trickled in after us. Park Central is vacant after 5PM, so that wasn't surprising. There was another Italian place here years ago, but I can't recall the name offhand. The first thing that catches your eye is the pizza oven, with a raging fire inside. The pizza is about 12" in diameter, just right for one hungry person. The ingredients are all in front of you, much like the counter at Subway, and they build your pizza as you watch (or salad, which my wife had). You can create your own pizza from a variety of sauces and cheeses, and an assortment of meats and veggies, or, order off their menu. I ordered off the menu and had the meaty Italian. Sauce, cheese, toppings, and a minute or two later it's in the oven. My wife ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad, but began customizing as it was assembled, "no, leave off the onions and peppers. Can I have balsamic instead of the southwest dressing?" We sat down and they brought my pizza out a few minutes later. It was piping hot, with just the right amount of char on the bottom of the very thin crust. The sauce, cheese, and toppings were all great and worked well together. I finished it quickly! My wife enjoyed her salad, but wasn't very hungry after a big lunch, so she took most of it home and is going to have it for lunch today. They are not yet serving beer and wine, which was the only disappointment on our visit, but they told us the City permits are taking longer than expected. I'll be back for vino. Pino's on Thomas is within slingshot distance of Fired Pie. They've been serving great pizza for a long time, so it takes balls to open another pizza place this close to Pino's. They can definitely give Pino's a run for its money! Salads and pizzas are both priced at $7.75. read more

The pizza wasn't anything to write home about. Flavor was good just the amount of toppings on the pizza was anemic. (Literally had 1 fragment of Canadian Bacon per slice) Crust was comparable to a Totino's pizza you can get in the freezer section at any grocery store. Won't be back. read more

I was looking forward to trying this place. I had read a lot of the reviews and was hoping that the negative ones were not true. Wrong. The pizza was very good the employees were something else. No hi or welcome just poor attitudes. The girl at there register had to be told three times that I was eating in. If you really hate what you are doing go find something that makes you happy. Don't push your BS on to the customers read more

I dig that you can build your own pizza and make it how you want it. The people behind the counter are nice and it's a cool place to have some lunch, they do have the option for pineapple to be put on your pizza so I don't know if they can be trusted. read more

I love going to this Fired Pie. Staff is also so quick and very friendly. The manager is always so kind and caring for the service they provide. I love coming here! read more

This was our first experience at Fired Pie. The pizza was fabulous with a super thin crust and the salad was generous. $22 for lunch downtown is a deal... Great place to go before a ball game. Eat here and take the light rail to the game. read more

the Freshly made pizza is one of the best in the central corridor ! all the fresh toppings prepared daily , and the Salads made to order are the best ! but what's even better than the Fresh Pizza and Salads ? THE STAFF ! This staff run by one of the most caring professional Managers HEATHER is absolutely the best ! I've been in this place at once if not twice a week, and it never fails that one or All will call me out and welcome me as if I were just there ! Heather Anthony and Alma are some of the best customer service members across the board ! the food is Great and the staff is even Better ! Thank You ALL and please keep up the great work and Life is a Pizza ! ciao ciao ! ric Lopez read more

GREAT PLACE! It's like a subway for pizza! Came here to eat even though we were having drinks at Cafe Tranquilo where the food is not worth the price, sadly. Anyway, great food great prices. And they have wine and beer. read more

First timer. Came in at 11:30. Line was to the door. First impression was clean. Atmosphere equals happy people. Ordered a pizza. I must say wow. For a thin crust pizza, this was outstanding. I've been looking for a great pizza place. This one is up there. If there were one of these close to my house, I would eat here weekly. This is a must visit type of restaurant. Highly recommded. Nice job folks. Keep it up and build one in queen creek please. read more

I go here a few times a month and the food and service always teeters somewhere between 3-4 stars. It's better to avoid this place during the lunch rush cause it gets crazy but a late lunch or dinner here is nice and relaxed. The pizza is good and topping are actually pretty decent quality considering the concept of unlimited topping. It's one of my preferred fast casual establishments. They could get bigger cups though. read more

Went with a friend who lives in CenPho. It's more or less a Chipotle version of a pizzeria. You choose your ingredients and they make your pizza from them. Very nice concept and hard to go wrong when you can see and choose what you want. The service is good and the pizza crust as well. We took an Italian salad as an entree and it was apparently a one person portion but easily fed two. I would have honestly never had gone had she not heard about it and hopefully when it's a little more lively and more recognized it can get a bit more street cred and busier (I'm one who favors a good lively restaurant atmosphere as long as you can talk to each other. read more

What you've heard is true!! Amazing salads and pizzas. The staff seems so happy to work there and be hands on. They take great pride in the food themselves :). Loved that I could build my own pizza with dozens of topping choices, including the meats and cheeses ! This is the place for me! I love different types of salami, chicken and sausages...there's no "typical" only offered here! Delicious :) read more

Thought we would check this out, when we walked in our ears were assaulted by music that was not the best for a dining experience, not sure what they are going for, but they missed out on our business read more

A little bit of a hidden location, but a good spot for some pizza. Good menu with lots of options. We went in the afternoon and it was not very busy, but I'm sure they get a good lunch pop with all the businesses in the area. read more

Best $7.75 pizza around!!! All the cheese & topings you want! In a great central PHX location, easy to get to on the light rail as well. Give them a try, you won't be dissapointed! Lunch wth iced tea, less than $11!! read more

Ordered Steak and Blue salad--definitely not impressed and don't recommend. Tasteless with ground up steak bits, barely recognizable as meat. read more

just finished ordering and the staff was so rude to me. They were upset that I touched the glass and the "pizza topper applied" was obviously upset that he makes 7.75 per hour but he is definitely not a case for raising the minimum wage. I have a food allergy and they were so so so rude about it. Beware of bad customer service. read more

Excellent food, very accommodating, great family place. Barbecue pizza is the best I have ever had. The sweet balsamic salad dressing was to die for. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Second time coming here this week-delicious! I love the topping selection, how QUICK they cook your pizzas (I have a short lunch break), and how everything is a set price regardless of how many toppings you pile on. Yum! read more

I have come here before and have had really awesome experiences. However this time was different employees seem to care about entertaining themselves and taking care of the customer. I also requested extra sauce and was denied in the past they have always been more than happy to accommodate my request. It wasn't a good experience however my experiences were good so I'll try this place again however not anytime soon. read more

This place had really good reviews so I decided to give it a try. However, upon entering the restaurant, I was disappointed to see that it was set up like a Subway for pizza. I thought it would have been more of a sit down restaurant. However, it was still decent, but I do think that the photos make the pizza look better than it actually was. Plus, the sauce was too salty and chunky for the weak thin crust. Not a good weight ratio, but it's okay. Still good for the low cost. read more

Ever had one of those things that you haven't had in a long, long time & you think, I sure hope this is as good as I remember it being. Well, thank you, Fired Pie - you came through once again. An amazing salad with fresh, flavorful ingredients (I love that I can create my own vegetarian salad - from the variety of greens and cheeses to toppings like cranberries and walnuts), exceptional quality and value, and fast, friendly service. read more

I'm sorry but I can't support a restaurant where you have a food prep line and they don't change their gloves after every order. Sticking your hands in sausage, mushrooms and cheese then making my salad is not something I agree with. The food is good but from the way it is prepared I will never it here again. read more

I've been here a few times and love the prices! I've only ever done the create your own, and I've never been disappointed. So tasty! Their salads are tasty too. I always go with family, so we share a salad and pizza and it's plenty of food. It's quick too, which we like because we have a 6 year old who doesn't sit still for extended periods of time. It's never been super busy either and they have great customer service. Very welcoming and patient :) It's quickly become a go to stop for my family. read more

I love this concept of a quick, make your own pizza. We stopped in for lunch one day and really enjoyed our pizzas. The restaurant was nice - inside and out - and the staff was super friendly too. This place gets packed at lunch, so beware about what time you arrive. read more

This is a great spot where they have a menu with predesigned pizzas but also give you the option to build your own pizza and they can turn it around quick. read more

Love love love this place! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the pizza is horrible reheated. That being said I ordered pepperoni, olives, sausage in mushrooms with of course the garlic olive oil spread on the bottom. Delicious!!!! Can't wait to go back to Phoenix to stop by again. read more

First time here. Really nice prices. Got all the toppings I wanted for just one price. The salad was really good. Will be going back soon. read more

This place is awesome. You can add your own ingredients to your pizza, and they look it right in front of you. We split a buffalo chicken salad, which was an awesomely huge salad and a Hawaiian BBQ pizza. The crust was thin, crispy and cooked to perfection. I wish Tucson had one, because going up to Phoenix to visit Fried Pie is going to get expensive! read more

Amazing! I've never been disappointed here. I usually stick with their simple tomato basil pizza but have ventured out a few times. The ingredients are super fresh and the end result is to die for. It's also very reasonably priced. One of my favorite places for lunch! read more
