Literally one of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area- I have yet to have a bad meal here. The service is always impeccable and the wood-fired menu is incredible. Their menu changes seasonally but there are some staples that are always on there. It's a super cozy spot and would be a perfect place for a date night. Could not recommend them more! read more

Service was top notch, sat at a ledge table near the bar area. Ambiance was fun and lively with some good people watching. Pizza was good but not great so not sure how quickly we'd want to go but in the area would consider it. read more

Our new favorite restaurant in Boston. Food is unbelievable. The service was great, and wine list was great as well. The mushroom toast was a must get. read more

Very good food and excellent ambience, both of which are not very easy to find in Brookline for a place somewhat more upscale. Service was good to excellent across staff. Price was reasonable. read more

I truly don't think i've ever been a "regular" at a restaurant before coming here. My girlfriend and I go here every single time I visit without fail. It is so consistent and the flavors blend perfectly together no matter what we order. I love how they continuously change the menu and improve on their dishes. I will continue raving about this restaurant until the end of time. Shoutout to our waitress who remembered us from months ago, she was great! read more

Prairie Fire - New York Strip - Pizza Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

After a little bit of shopping, I popped in here for an early dinner. For a solo diner, the BEST seat in the house is at the bar. I enjoyed THE perfect Manhattan, farm salad, and pizza! The bartender was attentive as were all the staff I encountered during my visit. I highly recommend this spot and also suggest a reservation if going with others to avoid disappointment of missing out on a fine meal and experience!!! read more

Prairie Fire is a true testament to its signature style of wood-fire cooking! I went with my group of 4, and we all had an amazing time dining on the unique, charred and Smokey flavor imbued in the food (aside from the pasta, which obviously wasn't wood roasted). The 'Nuda pizza may have been the best pizza I've had in Boston! The crust was soft was soft and chewy, and had that smoky flavor from its charred edges. It was like biting into freshly baked and toasted bread! The 'Njuda gave a pleasant, fiery kick that was complimented by the creamy straccistella cheese. Seeing as how Prairie Fire takes pride in their wood-fire cooking, getting one of their pizzas is an absolute must! Their wood roasted chicken was cooked to peak perfection! As you can tell from the way it glistens in the photo, the chicken was succulent, tender, and wonderfully moist! However, don't sleep on the pastas. Cooked to chewy al dente, both of the pasta dishes we ordered fully delivered on flavor. The fennel maldaldine was herbaceous from its arugula pesto, joined by the salty nuttiness from the pecorino cheese. The lamb ragu from the Malloreddus was tender and savory, complimented by the sweet charred cabbage sprinkled throughout. Overall, definitely come here with a group of friends! I highly recommend getting the full experience of this restaurant and taste the extent of their wood-Fire cooking! read more

Loved this little place - we came down the alley to the "beer garden" with a bunch of hungry tired parent and college kids. Loved the ordering online process had a blast making up our names. The drinks came fast water refills were on par, food came when it was ready but pretty fast considering the quality Delicious - okay a burger is a burger 24 maybe I am a little country in that one BUT gnocchi delicious steak tartar so good and the pizza's rocked! For sure would do it again Also inside a little nicer but we loved the casual vibe outside. read more

This place is delicious!! Great service, lovely interior, music isn't too loud (and good selections). We had the cheeseboard and two pastas; everything was great. Would love to come back again, especially for the broccoli pasta. Only downside is that the prices are a bit steep... read more

How can I eat anything not in a wood fired stove anymore?! All the food from the salad to pizza has been wood fired which you'd think may not work for everything, but IT WORKS. Everything had a smoky flavor and was just the right amount of crunchy and umami. I loved the roasted cabbage. The pizza (we got margherita) is probably one of my favorites with a thin crispy crust and sweet tomato sauce. Chefs kiss. Cocktails were okay I asked the waiter for the sweetest cocktail which was the 'six seeds' it tastes like pomegranate juice so perfect for me Will definitely be coming back! read more

We were walking around in Coolidge corner and saw the interior bar of this place and made a reservation on open table (which I recommend)! The best part about this place: the ambiance and the bartenders! The bar is dimly lit, but love the feel! The food is decent: but nothing blows you out of the water! I recommend sampling all the oysters: east to west and the wood-fired buttered oyster. The rigatoni pasta was also a decent dish: loved the way the bacon, Sungold tomatoes, and cheddar blended well together. Finally, the most unique dish I recommend is definitely the dessert: the sourdough ice cream. Like wait a min: have you ever had this?! It was so unique: the sourness and the acidity blended so well with the blueberry agrodolce and the crunch of the Heath bar! Take a couple of bites to get used to the taste and then devour. Enjoy! read more

Steak tartare was out of this world, as were the oysters. Our entrees (1/2 chicken, margherita pizza, and squid ink pasta) were all very good as well. And the cocktails (the Saturn in particular) were really good too. read more

Service was severely lacking. It's a pandemic, I get it. Our table and the table next to us were ignored for a long time. Food took forever to come out. Heirloom tomato salad was pretty small for the price. Not good. I would not recommend it. We also got this squid appetizer and it tasted old. We let the manager know, just to know and she quickly shot us down. I would not come back. She did not even hear us out. Lemon pasta was good but nothing special. A child's portion. Fennel and sausage pizza was good but you could go to Otto's for less and consistently better pizza. Lastly we had their fish on the menu and it was mostly burnt. We were still hungry after we left, while we were eating, and definitely did not order dessert. The service was bad (sorry), food was bad, and the wait was long. It was a 2 hour dinner. That was way too long. read more

Had dinner here this week with some biking friends. Nice ambiance, service and experience. The pizza was great. We had some good apps. The burger was just ok for $24. I will try it again soon. read more

They don't keep food warm at all - was interested and supposed to be good flavor but cold and no offer to help.

Fantastic find, even tho it's been there six years. Farm to table rotating menu, fantastic tap list, fairly priced and filling. If you haven't been, go. Not just a pizza spot. Was tempted to go full entree but had to try the lamb pizza. Definitely has a kick so be prepared. Awesome service, fantastic vibe. read more

Pretty dark, largely lit by candle on the table. Service was good and attentive, food came out very quickly. The highlight was the crispy potatoes, they were delicious, highly recommend. Also got the fennel and sausage flatbread, it was average. read more

Ambiance was great--love the open kitchen and being able to see the pizza-making process. The food was delicious, too. Asparagus was extremely well cooked and seasoned, although a little pricy for the portion ($16). The pizzas were awesome--love the fresh taste of the sauce, and the crust held up well (even at the center of the pie). Highly recommend the Chorizo Pizza! read more

One of my favorite spots in Brookline! The Heirloom Salad with Walnuts and Apples is one of my favorites & I always love to start with the delicious Sourdough. MUST try their pizza! We typically always order one of their wood-fired pizzas (6 slices per pizza, typically share one pizza with sides for dinner). I always get a lemon drop martini and it never fails to taste great. The ambiance is quaint, rustic, and charming! There are options for larger dishes (pasta or steak), along with smaller to-share plates. Highly recommend trying in the summer, too! They sometimes open up a back patio where folks can grab beers and share pizzas. Always a place I recommend to folks who are looking for a bit of a more up-scale but affordable meal in Brookline. read more

Prairie Fire - Sourdough Bread with Apple Butter/Ricotta & Heirloom Salad with Candied Walnuts and Apples - Pizza Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

There's good pizza? In brookline?? I'm shocked, I can't believe this has been here the whole time. First off, love the vibe - very dark, moody, and modern. The staff is great too - they were very cautious and communicated clearly when it came to food allergies. Plus, they made accommodations when they could! The menu in the beer garden is more limited than that inside the restaurant, so if you're here for the food I would try to get a spot inside. Pizza is excellent. I have been here twice and every pizza I had was great. Some of my favorites though have been the sausage and fennel, and the corn pizza. The wood fire oven is really working its magic in this corner of Brookline, so don't miss it! read more

Drinks are small and expensive. Food is great! Need to make this more characters, but there's nothing else to say.

Love the ambience! Pizza is great and salad is refreshing! Nice date spot, but make a reservation because this place gets packed!

Went here for a date night and the restaurant met our expectations. The vibes were very romantic with the dim lighting and dark interiors. The staff were very friendly. We arrived a bit early and got seated at the bar as we waited for our table. It took a while for our drinks to arrive, but the staff was communicative and checked without asking. We got two cocktails (royal skye and fire on the mountain). Both were pretty strong. After getting seated, we ended up ordering the lamb tartare, shishito peppers, wood fired oysters, and the squid ink campanelle. The squid ink pasta was definitely my favorite and most memorable. The tartness of the sauce paired very well with the pasta and lobster. The lobster was cooked to perfection, and the pasta had a nice chew. The other dishes were good but not as memorable. It definitely tasted like they were made from quality ingredients but lacked the wow factor. Looking back, I wished we tried the pizzas as the restaurant seemed to be better known for their wood fired pizzas. The restaurant is also very conveniently located a 2 minute walk from the Coolidge Corner stop of the C line, so I will definitely be stopping by again for the squid ink pasta and to try some of their pizzas! read more

Braved the worst rainstorm to get here, and it was 100% worth it! Ordered the Margarita Pizza and devoured the entire thing--it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was great, with a cozy and welcoming vibe. Service was attentive and welcoming, and I have to give a special mention to the bathroom--it was spotless and smelled amazing (which is always a plus!). Overall, had a great time and will definitely be back! read more

This would have gotten a solid 5 with exception of major misstep. Great ambiance. Great service. Raw Oysters. Amazing. Grilled oysters. Amazing. Margarita Pizza. Amazing. Beer. Amazing. Shrimp cocktail. Awful. Small. Mushy. Waterlogged. Told bartender very discreetly. She said she would let chef know. Got check. Not removed. No explanation. Didn't want to be "that customer ". But man guys. It was a simple fix and you ignored fair feedback. read more

Adorable restaurant located in Brookline Village. Came here for brunch and had the wood-fire pancake which is by far my favorite pancake ever. It was absolutely fantastic and came out in an iron skillet topped with berries and granola. Literally the fluffiest and thickest pancake ever! I wish I was more hungry...I couldn't finish the entire thing and was sad to leave the rest. read more

Great table in corner, delicious everything-- salad, potato appetizer, chocolate pasta, marg pizza. Good service, great meal

The pizza was average, but the bar service was poor by the bar tender that served a $76 glass of Whistle Pig Big Boss bourbon. The waiter never came back to check on me after I received my food order. I had no plate for 10 minutes. I called out to the bartender, I raised my hand, nothing! You would think the bartender would want to check on someone who ordered such an expensive drink, but no! Meanwhile, I watched other customers that came in to The bistro not only received all their cutlery and plates, but we're engaged in conversation with the bartenders, but not me. I wonder why?!? read more

Had a great experience having dinner here. Sat at the bar and had two pizzas and the Brussels sprouts. The pizza crust is thin but chewy, and so good! Highly recommend the brussels sprouts as a starter or side too read more

Delicious food, attentive service, nice ambiance. My family really enjoyed sharing several things. The mushroom toast starter was amazing. We also shared the Bibb lettuce salad, margherita pizza, and sausage and fennel pizza. The apricot cake was a great ending. read more

My experience at Prairie Fire was AMAZING!!! My server Hayli recommended the drink 27 miles after I told her drinks I've liked in the past and it's my new fav ! Even on a busy Friday night you can really see the attention to detail and care that servers like Hayli have that really make your night. The level of knowledge the staff here has on drinks is next level and I will definitely be returning! Keep it up prairie fire I can't WAIT to see how the menu evolves over time from your newest regular :) read more

We came to Prairie Fire for the first time for my birthday and I can sum up the experience as one of the best meals I've had in a long while. Our server, Sarah, was fantastic! She answered all questions we had, was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided great recommendations. We started with the Marble Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts which were both fantastic. Then we had the squash pizza that had a phenomenal sourdough crust. For mains, we had wood Oven Half Chicken, Braised Short Rib, and Baked Semolina Gnocchi all of which were flawless. We shared one of each of the three desserts and finished every bite. I cannot wait to go back to try even more! The beverages were also great. read more

This is our favorite neighborhood spot. The staff are lovely and food is excellent. The cornbread and pizzas are our favorite.

Eaten in person and had takeout from here. It's solid pizza. Can't speak to the other offerings. Reminds me a bit of California style pizzas I had while living in the bay area. I like asking for it extra charred. Tomato sauce has good flavor and overall it's good for $20+ pizza. Crust is crispy and also has good flavor, properly salted. Recommend for the freshness and well-balanced flavors. read more

Great place for date night. My partner and I decided to order a few things to share. We ordered the Margherita pizza, a duck ragu pasta, and the sourdough with ricotta spread. The sourdough bakery bread with the ricotta spread was excellent. Pros- great atmosphere, dim lit- cozy feel, great service Cons- limited menu, main courses aren't mind blowing read more

Great ambience and pizza is cooked right in front of you. Thin crust, chewy (in a good way!), and sauce is great. This place is pricey, and the pasta dishes are pretty small portions. I would say worth it only for the pizza and ambience, or just drinks at the bar. In the summer the back patio is a beer garden as well which is very cute! read more

We came on the week of Thanksgiving and it wasn't too busy. The restaurant has great ambiance, dim lighting, and comfy high top tables and also a nice bar.

From the moment we walked in, my husband and I were smitten. The ambience is dark and cozy, and we got a perfect corner table. Our server, Grace, was awesome and didn't bat an eye at all my allergies. She checked with the kitchen and marked up the menu, which had multiple vegetarian options too. We got the Margherita pizza, which was perfectly cooked with a chewy exterior crust, salty cheese, and sweet tomato sauce. I also tried the seasonal delicata squash gnudi, which was great, and had plenty of leftovers. My husband got the gnocchi which he enjoyed. I already want to go back to try more of the menu! read more

Great spot for upscale - casual ambiance and Italian food! To start, the espresso martinis were both delish - my friend got the dark espresso martini and I got the creamy espresso martini so we got to try both and they were 10/10. I got the farm greens salad and it was great! Loved the addition of crispy onions. My friends got the Brussels sprouts and the spinach pasta which was amazing + homemade (not pictured). The Brussels sprouts were surprisingly really good and we loved the sauce that was mixed in. We went on a Friday evening and did not make a reservation, had to wait about 20 minutes and walk around so not bad at all. Enjoyed this spot and would definitely go back and try a pasta dish! read more

Been dying to come out here for awhile. The ambience is quite good, and I can tell the manager is trying really hard and putting up with a lot. I don't want to be too harsh, because the service was mostly good and friendly, and they made a genuine effort to seat us quickly and comfortably during a busy service. But our drinks did arrive long after our food did, and the entrees were frankly a bit tasteless and just not worth the price in quality or quantity. Even the house cheeseburger was underwhelming and somewhat dwarfed by the fries that accompanied it. I might come back for the pizza, which is wood fired and looked good on other tables, but only with a larger group of people to share. It's otherwise not going to be a regular date night place by any means. read more
