We were struggling to use the menu QR code and someone came out to help us before we even had to ask. Once we were situated we ordered some beers (a good selection obviously), the Buffalo chicken pinsa, a build your own (basically meat lovers) and a s'mores pinsa, everything came out quickly and was amazing, no pizza will ever compare to a Buffalo chicken PINSA, I love how thin and light the crust was, usually I regret gluten and dairy in the same sitting but this was way more digestible and totally worth it! Overall, we were well taken care of, the service was fast, the patio was spacious and chill, and we will definitely be coming back for more!

When our favorite non-fancy Italian restaurant (Italian Bistro in Porters Neck) opened another…read morelocation in Hampstead (Surf City area), we didn't have high expectations. We've been patrons at the Porters Neck location for about 19 years, and love their basic Italian dishes, salads, pizza, and always friendly service. Well, I just have to say that if you like NY/NJ/CT-style thin crust pizza, you won't find better pie south of the Mason-Dixon Line than you will at their new location. And if you haven't had a slice of their Greek-style pizza, you are missing out on something really special. Not sure what else is on the Hampstead location's menu, but am looking forward to finding out. (Tip: I always order the Greek pie with extra tomato sauce and ask them to make it a little crispy...Perfecto!)

We visited Wildfire Pizza on Jun 21, 2026 for a takeout order. Although it was a 4-minute walking…read moredistance from where we were staying, we drove there anyway. The pizzas come only in 12" sizes. We ordered a plain cheese pizza, a margherita pizza and a spinach feta bread. We were told that the pizzas would be ready in 20 minutes; it was packed to go in 15. The spinach feta bread was ordered later and took almost as long as the pizzas to be ready. I realized why after I saw it. It looked like a pizza pie: round, same 12" size but cut into many smaller pieces - the pizzas were cut into 8 slices each. The margherita pizza is plain cheese pizza with tomatoes and sprinkles of crushed vegetables. The taste left much to be desired. The important thing is that it fed us. The feta bread is plain cheese pizza with way too much cheese, and the spinach not evenly spread across the pie. Why even called it "bread" when it was made like pizza? There was plenty left for tomorrow's dinner, meaning that we liked it enough to not throw them away. The staff are college-aged young except for one guy who appeared to be in his 70s. There are a limited number of tables for dine-in, but the limited space don't make it dine-in friendly. While Wildfire Pizza is one place we will not be returning to.

Really great pizza, fun atmosphere, tons of great beer choices, friendly and most importantly;…read moreknowledgeable staff! They offer wine too. Stopped in the other night on our way through the state and so glad we did! A gentleman (whom I believe was the owner), recommended the hand tossed pizza as they make the dough from scratch. Soooo good! It's wood fired so it's gonna get a little char on the bottom which makes it even more delicious! The gentleman we spoke with was also very knowledgeable about the beer offerings and helped guide us. They have a great little play area out front so they're very family friendly. I wish they had a place like this where I live. Can't recommend enough!

I appreciated the thorough review from the first to review Yelper! So I'll get right to it. The parking had initially scared me until I arrived yesterday. There was a nice gentleman directing cars/trucks to spots or to overflow lots. Super helpful! The main bar is smack dab in the middle with Wilmywood on the one side and the stage and bottle shop on the other side. The building is like an old airplane hangar which is super cool. To get a beer or wine, be patient. It's a bustling bar and they'll get to you! I'm not a big beer drinker but I tried 2 on my friend's suggestion. We used the QR code to order from the food truck. We got the hand tossed because the kids would like it better. I wish I had brought some wipes or something because the napkins weren't enough to put your slice of pizza on and then wipe your hands or face. Good, flavorful pizza and they were quick!! Looking forward to going back!

It was clean, loud, good loud filled with conversation and laughter. Unfortunately, my pasta was extremely overcooked. It was so soft that I couldn't even pick it up with a fork without it falling apart. The photo shown shows just how shredded the pasta was when I picked it up. The sauce itself was delicious, which made it even more disappointing because the pasta was basically mush. I brought it to their attention, and they apologized, but then told me the kitchen was closed. I believe they stop serving at 9:00 p.m., and it was only 9:03 p.m. when I mentioned the issue. Whether the kitchen was technically closed or not, fixing the dish would have only required boiling a small portion of pasta and adding some of the sauce that I assumed was already prepared. I mean it was literally 3mins past 9pm there's no way they cleaned the kitchen and packed up that quick. There were still multiple tables here. Instead, I was told there was nothing they could do, though they would remove the item from the bill. While I appreciate not being charged, I don't think that was the most appropriate solution because it essentially meant I didn't get to eat a main course. My husband still had his meal, so at that point it didn't seem worth leaving or trying to find food elsewhere after already spending around $70 on dinner (the pasta not included). If it had been much later in the evening, or I wanted to add something to my bill, I would have understood, but being only a few minutes past closing made the response feel disappointing. The flavors were excellent, and up until that point the experience had been very good. I really wanted that pasta too haha. The sauce was so good. I hope they handle situations like this differently in the future.
