They had better days. We have visited several other times, and we always enjoyed the service, ambiance and the pizza is decent considering the premium prize. In this visit however, the service was crappy. First, we were instructed we needed to order before settling in the patio, and so we did. We waited by the entry way, came back to the register and ordered. After ordering, cashier asked if we're eating in the patio... seriously, she couldn't be anymore disconnected. She had just instructed us moments ago. Well, sat down and got our order, and turns out she didn't enter the calamari.... Just a terrible experience all the way around. read more

Walked around downtown Napa to check out the lighted art festival. Wanted a slice of pizza for a snack and ended up having a late lunch/early dinner at Live Fire Pizza located inside the Public Market. We were able to grab 2 seats at the bar. We ordered a mushroom pizza and a pear salad. For drinks, Hubby had a fieldwork beer and I had an iced tea. Our order came out in a timely fashion. The pie totaled 6 slices all together - Fresh ingredients, mouthwatering, straight out of the oven. The salad was light, delicate, not overly drizzled with a cider apple mustard dressing and balsamic vinegar. Thinly sliced pears and candied pecans gave it that slightly sweet taste. The combination of our 2 orders paired nicely. The guys managing the bar were courteous, hospitable, and attentive. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable meal in a very active market. It's my kind of spot and I'd gladly visit again! read more

Live Fire Pizza - Mushroom pizza! So so good! - Pizza Near Me - Napa, California

Went for Locals' Night Food - 4/5. Pizza had a thin crust with decent chew on the dough. Sauce was mellow and the cheese had a good pull on it. It was a bit past baked and more burnt on some sides than I would have liked, but not detrimentally so. Service - 4/5. Prompt service. Value - 4/5. Their locals' night special offers a margarita pizza and draft beer for $17, which is a good deal. The pizza itself was just OK and I can't imagine being happy paying full price for it.

Good for pizza in a pinch. Sat outside since it was a beautiful spring day. Service was prompt, our orders were delivered to our table surprisingly fast! We got the little gem salad and pepperoni and peppers pizza, both tasty, my only complaint would be that the peppers were more raw than roasted (as listed). read more

Very good and awesome staff. The kids loved this place. Lots of outdoor seating, drinks, pizza and ice cream. There's just something about fresh ingredients and stone fire pizza that makes it taste much better than most other pizza spots. The pizza was 7.8 (one bite, everyone knows the rules). I would recommend this place as it's kid friendly and great atmosphere. It's very hard to get 5 stars but this place was extremely close. read more

After a full day of wine tasting, my memory of every detail might be a little hazy, but let's be real--everything tastes better after a few bottles of wine, and this pizza spot was no exception. The wood-fired pizza hit all the right notes. The crust was crispy but soft in the middle, and the combination of pepperoni and prosciutto was divine (or maybe that was the wine talking). The slight char on the crust added a depth of flavor that had me grabbing slice after slice. The calamari? Top-notch. Crispy without being too oily, and the dipping sauces, one with a little heat and the other creamy, were perfect. Maybe it was my post-wine-tasting mood, but I could've eaten a second plate without hesitation. The watermelon lemonade was exactly what I needed to refresh the palate--light, not too sweet, and a great complement to all the richness on the table. The lively market atmosphere made the experience even better, and watching the pizzas being made in the wood-fired oven was a nice touch. The service was quick despite the midday crowd. Prices? Well, let's just say it's Napa, so it comes with the territory, but at least the quality justifies it. Would I come back stone-cold sober? Maybe. But I'd recommend pairing this spot with a wine tour for the full, blissfully delicious experience. read more

Very authentic Italian style pizza's. They have a decent amount of options, but be careful if you get the calamari pizza as there isn't that much in the way of calamari. Still, the overall quality of this place is top notch and really enjoyed the pizza we had. When the crust tastes as fresh as this place you know it's good. If you like pizza, give this place a shot. read more

Ordered the four meat pizza here, totaled to almost $40. The pizza tasted very delicious, lots of cured meats to enjoy & it was very filling even without any tomato sauce. It was a thin crust pizza, but I enjoyed the texture of the bread along with the delicious cheese pull. I know it's Napa and that everything is expensive, but I couldn't help but be put off by the high price. read more

The Margarita pizza was amazing! The crust was burnt and inedible though. The mozzarella tasted different but really good. Basil was wilted. Tomorrow sauce was perfect. read more

This review is overdue but better late than never! My hubby, mini me and I came here to eat. We never tried this place out so we took a chance. We ordered a Magherita pizza, calamari, brussel sprouts and meatballs to share. We got our order and bought outside to patio to enjoy. The food was all so delicious and good to us. The brussel sprouts had some kick but still was good. We enjoyed everything and even had some food leftover to bring home. Definitely would come back and try more items on the menu. The service was prompt and courteous and the area was a great area to people watch and just enjoy the air and views outside. read more

We went on New Year's Day, not sure if they were short handed that day but 90% of the pies they were dishing out were burnt. Eating burnt food is toxic and I was surprised to see them serving the burnt pies to the customers. We left out the burnt pieces and tried to eat the rest. The cheese was just a gooey mess and refused to come apart. And it tasted chewy and uncooked. read more

The pizza oven is for real and they do a great job. I'm vegetarian and I love the mushroom and their Brussels sprouts/ cauliflower appetizer and the salads. Beer on tap and good wine- what's not to like? Also seating inside around a bar and plenty of outdoor seating as well read more

I was not impressed with the quality of the food. The pizza had very little toppings that would slide off once you lifted the piece. We ordered a plain pepperoni and another with pepperoni and peppers. The dough was so thin at the bottom the sauce made it soggy. The crust on the outer exterior was honestly the only good thing about this pizza. The Buffalo wings was a huge disappointment. As you can see in the picture it wasn't coated well, thick and lacked on heat. As I was watching the chef sauce the wings I can see him try to scrape the sauce onto the chicken with his fingers . That alone made me not want to even try it. It looked like it was day old sauce that was put in the fridge, reheated poorly and slumped on the wings. I hope that the standards are raised at this establishment because being in the Oxbow Market can be a good thing if the quality is there. read more

Oxbow was literally walking distance from our hotel, The Archer in Downtown, so you know it was the perfect spot for dinner. Due to COVID many of the restaurants in Oxbow closed at 5:30 pm but Live Fire was on a popping way past that. We had been traveling all day so we really just wanted to find some good food! The last time we visited the Oxbow Market we had delicious wings from Kitchen Door. Sadly, that restaurant is no longer open so our dreams were a little shattered, but no worries because Live Fire Pizza saved the day! Our food was really yummy!! My favorite part was the truffle fries oh and of course the carafe of rose! You can't go to wine country and not have a gracious glass on the first night. Everything was literally so chill and perfect! Napa Night one was a success!!! read more

They had just what we were looking for a vegan pizza with no dairy. The customer service is awesome. Kudos to Alex. Original pizza had too much chili flakes, but he whipped one right out without the chilli flakes and brought it to our table, Thank you so much. You've earned a loyal customer. read more

Live Fire Pizza is located in the Oxbow Market. Their pizzas are on the pricey side. I ordered the Sausage pizza and a mimosa. Total came out to around $31. The mimiosa ($10) was not worth it. So I would skip that. The pizza took about 8 minutes or so for it to be ready. The ingredients was fresh and it had good flavor. The dough was chewy. My only complaint is the way they use their sausage. Most pizza restaurants I've been to, the sausage is either round little meatballs or slices of an actual sausage. At Live Fire Pizza, the sausage was spread around like the ground beef you would find in a Taco Bell taco. I was not a big fan of how they laid the sausage. I wish they would have just put globs of meat instead. But other than that, the pizza was good. read more

Live Fire Pizza - Sausage Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Napa, California

I think most people who go to Oxbow come here for a nice experience. That wasn't the case at Live Fire Pizza. The people who work here have no regard for customer service. They are not friendly or nice. The women taking my order snitched my money out of my hand before I could give her the exact change. I tossed the change to her and she rudely said "Don't throw money at her!" I tossed it on the counter so she she could give only bills for change. I also apologized and said I wasn't meaning to be rude. From there she gave my family and I the cold shoulder. The pizza was fair and it made our experience less than good. I DO NOT RECCOMENDED THIS PLACE FOR GOOD HOSPITALITY. D read more

We had a really nice lunch at the bar today. Had a chance to chat with one of the owners, too, which made the visit all the more pleasant. We had a sausage and mushroom pizza which was fantastic. They have some great draught beer and good wine options as well. Great pizza. Great setting (in the Oxbow) and perfect on a nice day. PS: The owner makes her own chili oil which is a really nice touch on the pizza. It's a flavorful layer that is well-worth exploring! read more

I came here for a quick dinner and enjoyed the Bianca pizza and Sausage pizza. The Bianca pizza uses Prosciutto San Daniele, one of my favorite prosciuttos; the added lemon rind is also quite nice. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. They even have ice cream! read more

Ox/Bow food hall did not blow me away, but Live Fire Pizza's Meatball appetizer DID! Not on the printed menu, but chalked up at the register. $14 four meatballs and 2 breadsticks. AH-MAZING, the absolute most delicious tender meatballs I have ever tasted. Delicious marinara sauce with cheese, and the breadsticks...my husband is still talking about them 2 days later! If they are offering them, you NEED to order them. read more

Pretty disappointed with what we were served today. Decided to stop at Oxbow and walk around downtown to celebrate Mother's Day early. Planned to eat at Hog Island, but stopped by Live Fire to snack before our reservation time and ordered the following: 2x Calamari (with tons of onions as a sneaky filler) 1x Truffle Fries with (non-existent) bacon & parmesan 1x Hot wings with Cole slaw 1x Beer 22 oz. Everyone was friendly when we ordered, but what they didn't tell us... was that the fries came with hair instead of bacon, and the calamari would be chock full of fried onions (essentially, stringy red onion rings with a few pieces of actual calamari)! The wings were okay-- not a ton of flavor, just spicy and a little crispy which was nice. read more

the pizzas cooked over a wood fire were very good, and the service was pleasant. Pizzeria to recommend

Margherita pizza is weak. Its more like a Marinara pizza and the sauce is not good enough to hold its own. If they plan on keeping it this way I feel they need too up the sauce to San Marzanos. Ca Momi is a good source for them to compare to. Its a few blocks up the St. Or they could just put more damn cheese on it! read more

Live Fire Pizza - Where's the cheese! - Pizza Near Me - Napa, California

Food varies from pretty good to poor. Service, however, is uniformly awful. Dropped in tonight because the kid said he wanted pizza. When I asked him where he wanted to go, he replied "the place with the bad service." True to form, we arrived to see three women slouching on the counters. Zero attempt to make eye contact, zero interaction. The cashier didn't even sit up from her slouch at the POS terminal to take our order. We picked up our own food and wine. No plates offered to share things. The food tonight was good, but next time I won't bother leaving any tip. There is zero hospitality here. This place is an embarrassment to Oxbow. read more

Live Fire Pizza - Fried pizza dough. Great value! - Pizza Near Me - Napa, California

We came to Live Fire Pizza inside Oxbow Market for a late lunch. We got the Napa Vegan Pizza with Prosciutto. Despite the 25-minute cooking time, we found the pizza to be mediocre. The toppings and the Prosciutto were on the bland side, and the crust was not as crispy as we liked. The pizza also did not seem that hot, temperature-wise. The only live fire here are those heating lamps on the outside porch. I much prefer the pizzas at Mod and On Fire (San Ramon, CA) for a crispier crust and more intense flavors. read more

Didn't have a chance to try the pizza but ordered up a few sides. Food is fast and they have a nice bar that is open seating to dine at. Everything was delicious, arugula salad, burrata, and especially the Brussels! I'm a sucker for a food market so i can try lots of small things, and this place fits in so well to Oxbow. Will have to try the pizza next time I'm in town! read more

Live Fire Pizza - Fried Calamari on menu but it was basically a blooming onion! Misleading- change your menu description!! - Pizza Near Me - Napa, California

We used to come here all the time before COVID. We came back for the first time in months and it seems the quality has dropped. I ordered the mushroom pizza which I've had before and liked, but this time the pizza was inedible. It had the most foul smell coming from it and was topped with wilted, sad looking arugula. A $2 upcharge for arugula that looks like it's been in the back of my fridge for 10 days is laughable. The crust was undercooked despite the char marks, giving it a bad flavor. RE service, we ordered online and the lady told us the pizza wasn't ready. We stood a few feet away from the counter to wait. The pizzas came out and were sitting in boxes on the counter for 5 minutes while the lady did everything she could to NOT look around to see that we were waiting. Hello? Unfortunately, as locals, we won't go back to Live Fire and it will be removed from my list of recommendations of places to go when friends and family visit Napa. Instead, if you're at the Oxbow and want pizza, go across the market to Kitchen Door. They have amazing wood fired pizza and a nicer patio in back. read more

Came here on a Friday evening after Covid and it was actually really good. Very surprised at how fast we got our food and it was plentiful. I got the sausage pizza and added lemon slices and had the burrata. Both were tasty and I'd be back to try something else for sure! My ONLY gripe is the burrata came with fruit and was on the sweeter side (when it was advertised as a veggie side salad) and no ranch. I know it's upscale pizza- but c'mon bruh. It's pizza And ranch is lifeeeee read more

Pizza was ok, service was a little bland... but I always love visiting the Oxbow Market so that's a plus..

We called from my wife's office and we place an order for the Sausage Pizza. We also ordered the Roasted Cauliflower & Brussel Sprouts. The food would be ready in ten minutes. I drove to the Ox Bow Marketplace, parked, and went in. When I inquiry at the counter, they knew my order, it was ready, I paid, and I was gone. The narrow shop was really neat with the highlight being the wood fired pizza oven, impressive. The was surprising. Not typical pizza shop, homemade style, thin undercarriage with crispy edges. The undercarriage allows all the flavors of the toppings to com through. Boy, that Sausage Pizza was really good. The Brussel Sprouts were just as an eye opener. Not drowned in olive oil, but roasted with spices for a slight kick with each bite. Live Fire Pizza is a great place to get food to go or take a brake while shopping at the Ox Bow Marketplace. The service and the food are so worth it! read more

Napa Pizza Tales Part 1 Everywhere I go, I am in search of the best pizza. Unfortunately, Napa did not bring the pizza party. Since we had booked a restaurant for dinner where we planned to order pizza, of course, we had to also have pizza for lunch. Whoops. Located at Oxbow Market, you have tons of choices but Live Fire seemed to be a popular one. Walking around and seeing everyone with the wood fired pizza was too much - I had to have it! We got a table outside (a dirty table was the only choice...they need to clean them off a bit more often) and awaited our pizza. You can also sit at the counter inside. The vibe like the rest of the market is pretty chill. So after all the suspense.... Someone lost their ordering privileges because we got a damn cheese pizza. No, not margarita. CHEESE. Apparently there were words exchanged about the two pizzas that didn't have cheese which led to too much cheese. Anyway, besides the pizza being a bit too cheesy, and therefore also greasy, for my liking - the crust was burned. I love crust with some char, but this was just burned. The crust was good, but could have been a bit chewier (doughier). The pizza definitely could have been in the oven a few seconds less. The pizza dough was actually yummy though with a hint of rosemary, and the tomato sauce was flavorful! Live Fire just couldn't make my "love it" list. Stay tuned for more disappointing pizza in Napa Pizza Tales Part 2! read more

Decent food but definitely had better. Patio area outdoors was fantastic and away from the busy Market inside. Slow on food to come out. Flavor was lacking slightly and could have been better. Mango beer was great for a spring day around 70. Tables outside dedicated for this place could have been better cleaned and trash was piled up. Over all good enough lunch place for a Sunday. read more

Y'all. this place was not it. We dropped in cuz we were pretty buzzed and wanted to get some food in our bellies before the drive home. We opted for pizza because we thought it would be filling and let me just say that i would've rather had mcdonalds. Our device went off that our food was ready and we immediately got up to pick up our order. We brought it back to our table and it was cold. Yes, cold. Like it had been sitting out the entire time. The man at the register tried to tell us that perhaps we had taken too long to pick up the order which was obviously not true. We explained to him that the device went off and we immediately headed over. He offered to re-make it and when we picked it up again it was STILL cold?! I would've thought they handed me the same pizza but we had bitten a slice on the previous one. At that point we just ate a slice each and threw it out. save your coins and try another spot in the market. read more
