I Like going to this restaurant because it has a different way of making pizzas, I like the stove that they use. It's old-fashioned. The place is set up to be very comfortable with a wood setting with wood floors. read more

I flew in from Texas to see my daughter at a competition at the University of Cincinnati. I found Fireside on Yelp from the great reviews, so gave it a try. Sat at the bar with my daughter. Had a chance to get to know Kevin. He was absolutely outstanding and found he was funnier than listening to a Joe Rogan podcast. Great pizza / service and would highly recommend Fireside Pizza. read more

This is a great pizzeria in an old fire hall in Cincinnati. We stopped in after a day of looking at museums. When I walked in the smell of wood smoked pizza hit my nose and I was hooked. I ordered a margarita pizza and my SO asked for a Greek pizza. Here's what's what: The margarita: Rich delicious sauce, good grade of mozzarella and flavored with basil. Oh, the crust is made with the correct flour and perfect! YES PLEASE! The Greek: feta, provolone spinach and red onion on that same great crust. YES PLEASE again! If this place was close to where I live everybody that works here would know my name. Great pizza, fast service, nice beer selection- what's not to like? read more

Great pizza and atmosphere. The employees really make you feel that they value your business. Super friendly and pleasant conversation.

Highly underrated pizza joint in Walnut Hills that is one of my favorites in the city. The pizzas are on the smaller side but I really like how they were thin and crispy. I ordered it to-go and the pizza was very hot and seemed fresh. I definitely want to go back and order a pizza inside the restaurant next time. read more

Not like your usual pizza. Had a personal touch. Cooks are creative. Delicious I would return again just for that read more

Most amazing pizza and Caesar salad. It's in an old firehouse with oven from Italy. We come here every time we go to Cinci. Great local joint. read more

Really good pizza, got great service for carry out. Best bet is to call instead of ordering online, you'll get your order faster. Have never eaten inside, but it's a cozy interior. Always enjoy the food here, much better than the chain pizza joints! read more

This is everything you want in a local pizza joint. While visiting Cincinatti, my friends brought me here as it's one of their favorite pizza places. And I can see why. The ingredients are fresh and all form a symphony of flavor, one that's balanced and not overwhelming (or underwhelming!). For four people we ordered a large half Russel Crowe (seasonal pizza with Brussels sprouts) and half Eli BBQ (pretty sure that's what it's called, I'm not from here please forgive me), breadsticks, and a Cesar salad to share. Flavors were on point and I love all the small touches like letting us order half/half, the hot oil, and all the extra sauce/topping options once you get your pizza. The bbq is on the sweeter side just in case you were wondering, and the Brussels sprouts worked surprisingly well on pizza. The breadsticks come out looking like a mini pizza, thin crust with cheese, not that thicc breadsticks you might be thinking. It was delicious and basically served like a side pizza haha. And the Caesar was great, comes with anchovies which apparently is the authentic way, and now that I've had it I can't go back! Also I love the toolbox with all the utensils and common toppings. Why don't more places do this??? Give me more than I need so I don't need to come and ask. +1 star just for that lol. If I lived in the area this would be my pizza place hands down. Delicious food, good prices, and thoughtful service. And if you're wondering, they have multiple picnic tables outside for seating, although it can get sunny. Pizza party! read more

Fireside Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Hands down one of my favorite pizza joints! Simple menu, quality ingredients, and very fair prices for a gourmet pizza. Now that my new job puts me right down the road from Fireside it'll be a frequently visited spot. For $8 I can get a 9in pepperoni pizza and have not only a great meal but a few slices for leftovers. The pizzas are made in a huge stone fire oven and produces a beautiful crisp on each pie edge. When the team and I ordered out we did a Margherita, White Pie, meat lovers and Greek pizza. The white pie was our winner and absolutely amazing with the white sauce, parmesan, mozzarella, and rosemary. I did a yelp event here last year in partnership with Brink brewery. We met the owner Sam who was really a stand up guy! Him and the staff offered great customer service and were accommodating. I look forward to when Covid is done so we can come back to dinning in. Overall, I really enjoy going to this restaurant and highly recommend it. read more

Needed a Lenten Friday lunch after touring Univ of Cincinnati with our son. Popped into Fireside based on the stellar Yelp reviews. WOW....super kind service, reasonable pricing, order came in a flash AND it was absolutely delish! They have a cool bar setup inside as well. Only wish I could pack them in my suitcase to come back to NJ with me!! read more

The food is delicious! I ordered a calzone, it was so soft almost with a buttery taste, but not actually (if that makes sense). Very flavorful and fulfilling. Very friendly staff, and a great environment. Very spacious and nice music. Old school to be exact, I think I heard Run DMC playing. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and we were not rushed to order or to leave. Staff made small talk with us and the few others that were there. read more

LOVED the neighborhood vibe here!! One of the best Greek salads I've had, and paired with a pepperoni calzone , it was amazing! The wait for food was a little long (over half an hour) but apologies were made and it was all good. Worth the wait and we were just enjoying the evening with no time constraints. In a cute neighborhood and we would definitely return! read more

Pizza is tasty. Drinks leave a little to be desired, depending on who the bartender is when you go. I generally order a whiskey sour but it's pretty basic. I'd stick with traditional, easy to make drinks, as to not be disappointed. The pizza is some of the best fire oven pizza in Cincinnati, in my opinion. I've gone here on multiple occasions but my favorite time to go is around happy hour when it's warm enough to sit outside at the picnic tables. It's a super chill, low key spot. Also, to be clear, make sure if you're ordering cheese pizza, you order the right one because if you get mozzarella it's more of an Italian style situation with lots of sauce. Happy pizza eating!! read more

Very good wood fired pizza, Also has a nice happy hour. Great location inside of an old fire house in walnut hills

Inside seating is limited, but chill. Employees are friendly, patient, and accommodating. Food tastes great and fresh. Definitely recommend. read more

Fireside is a casual pizza joint housed inside of a former firehouse garage. The walls are decorated with art from local artists. You go to the bar to order and that usually means that there isn't much service to speak of; however, there were multiple people who checked on us to make sure our meal was great and that we didn't need anything. The meatballs are tender and juicy and the bread they're served with is buttery and a perfect mix of soft & crunchy. I had the small chef salad sans tomatoes and egg and the lettuce was crisp and fresh, the cheese freshly grated, and the ranch dressing was so good. They cook their pizzas in a giant brick oven at the back and the flavor is proof-perfect crust with high quality toppings. The angry sauce is a spicy marinara is a perfect complement to the cheese pizza, but I would avoid it if you're sharing a pizza with a child because it does have quite a kick. I'm so glad I found this gem of an eatery!! read more

My first time visiting Fireside Pizza (05-19-2025) after work to order a takeout my order was a Calzone with pepperoni, ham, mushrooms and cheese. My Calzone was excellent better than the one I'm use to ordering from Mio's in Clifton the Calzone was cook all the way to the edge not raw. read more

What can I say of the Best Pizza in Town that I haven't said previously. The pizza here is just on another level, Amazing! The cheesy bread it's a problem cause you may eat it all by yourself in a sitting. The atmosphere is great and the staff are very kind and friendly. This time I went with the Pep but with extra pep and obviously it didn't disappoint in any way, the cheesy bread is a must as always and my wife's Margherita was just perfect. If you haven't tried it I don't know what you are waiting for... You'll thank me later. read more

Excellent pizza nice vibe and servers - highly recommend! Did I hit 85 characters???!!!

Disappointing! I placed a pick up order at 11am for pick up at 4:30pm. We arrived at 4:25pm to pick up and they advised us that it would still be another 10min. This is so frustrating. Was finally ready at 4:52pm Edited: changed my review from 1 star to 4 stars because they did reach out and apologize. Appreciate the effort. read more

The pizza here is good. Very similar in my opinion to Dewey's. I got the meat pizza and enjoyed and loved their homemade ranch. I did feel that some of the sides of dressings didn't need to be an extra charge if I'm already buying a pizza. I also could not find any grated Parmesan cheese anywhere in the restaurant. Weird? It may have been an up charge to add to the pizza but I'm not quite sure. Overall, easily a delicious pizza option close to campus (which has a lame pizza scene!) so this will have to become a staple. read more

The Eli's bbq pizza is one of my favorites in cincy hands down (prefer it with bbq sauce on the side tho)

Yummy thin fire roasted pizza. Caesar and greek salads very good. You order at the bar and they hand you glasses for the fountain machine. Weird that you eat on paper plates and use a roll of paper towels. At the end of your meal you throw out your trash and stack up the silverware and glasses. Food was great but weird for service. read more

Such a cool concept in downtown Walnut Hills! An old firehouse turned into a pizza bar. It was quiet for a Thursday afternoon lunch, but the service was fantastic. Bartender took the time to describe the menu & gave good recommendations. Outdoor picnic tables out front make for easy outdoor seating. Pizza is made fresh in a wood burning oven, so it has a nice crisp taste to it. They have a decent selection of beers, wines & cocktails to choose from too. Make sure and stop in and check out Fireside Pizza next time you're in Walnut Hills! read more

We were on an adventure and found Fireside Pizza! Amazing New York style pizza. We can't wait to try Chicago style. The Parm Fries were delicious!

Located in the old Walnut Hills firehouse with artwork on walls depicting the history. Small cozy place with the kitchen and bar interconnected. The wood fired oven is visible . Pizzas are small or large and dough is made on site. A variety of specialty pizzas are available or you can create your own. Check for the specialty pizza which was a spicy alligator when we went. They have salads and calzones but we wanted the pizza and it did not disappoint. Paper towels and silverware and menus are at the table. You order at the bar and get your own soft drinks. There is street parking and a lot across the street. Staff were friendly and it was a family friendly atmosphere and we plan to bring our grandsons there for lunch. read more
