The wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizza? Phenomenal. Crust so good it deserves its own fan base. But service is a gamble--some staff are great, others act like you've interrupted their mop break. Mopping seems to be their favorite pastime. Industrial floor cleaner aroma while you eat? A given. Asked to sit in a certain section but was told it was unavailable due to mopping--only to watch a couple and a Latin family get seated there minutes later. This has happened more than once, and it's hard not to notice the pattern. Drinks? $3.99 across the board, from fountain soda to Jarritos. To-go orders come with a "convenience" fee. Tip with a card? Another surcharge, and the servers don't even get those tips directly. Pizza: worth the hype. Everything else? A mess, literally and figuratively. read more

Located at the end of a small strip mall, it is on the small side, but they pack a lot into the space available. Parking is pretty decent for the area, with at least one handicapped space right in front of the entrance door. Walking in was surprisingly cozy, with wood on the walls and muted colors for the seating. We were greeted on entry and seated quickly. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. Our waitress left menus and took our drink order as we sat down. The menu is rather extensive. The primary cuisine is Mexican, but they also offer traditional recipe pizzas as well as chicken wings. Many dishes are cooked in a wood fired oven. Our drinks came quickly, and we still needed time to make our selections. After a few more minutes, our waitress returned and we placed our orders. We did not receive any salsa and chips for the table, which was a bit surprising for a Mexican restaurant. We decided to order their homemade guacamole to start. The appetizer came out in maybe five minutes. The portion was much smaller than expected, and the guacamole was bland. It needed a good addition of both salt and garlic to improve the flavor. In addition, the chips were straight from the bag, without even being warmed. The food took about ten minutes or so to be brought to the table. The Pollo a la lena is two wood fired pieces of chicken, along with salad, refried beans, and rice. It also comes with your choice of wheat or corn tortillas. The chicken was tender and juicy, very well spiced with additional flavor from the wood oven. The refried beans are not the typical gray mush but actually have noticeable black beans. The rice was typical, but included corn, peas, and carrot pieces for additional flavor. The salad included crisp lettuce and diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos. The corn tortillas are made in house and compared well to the other components of the dish. I would absolutely order this outstanding dish again. The pollo loco was another good dish. The ratio of chicken to rice was good, and the amount of cheese was less than typical, which allowed more of the other flavors to come through. The asada torta was also good. The ingredients were plentiful compared to the bread, and everything seemed fresh and very flavorful. Even the french fries were well made. The chimichanga was the least liked dish, but still tasted good. It was prepared well and had a nice cheese topping. On it's own it would be a good choice, only suffering in comparison to the other outstanding dishes. One word of caution: the salsa accompanying the pollo a la lena and the torta is surprisingly spicy. The heat is deceptive, coming on slowly and lingering awhile. Although I was surprised at first taste, I included it in every bite of chicken, so it is addictive. Based on this visit, I definitely want to try more options from the menu, especially the pizzas. read more

Nice to have a new business in East Ridge, the service was good. The flavor of the food was enjoyable as well. The downside is that we went for the wood-fired pizza, and had great expectations of what they could dream up for Mexican-flavored pizza... but all they had was traditional pizza selections. Deluxe, Veggies, etc.... I was hoping they would recreate Casey's Taco Pizza, etc. things like that. Hopefully they will consider expanding the pizza menu, so we can visit again. read more

Being in a strip mall, you will see this place and not believe it's possible, but these folks make great food and they are very friendly. I had a chicken chimichanga and my wife had a chicken taco. Both were outstanding. They wood fire cook their chicken and I am guessing that is what made it incredible. It was truly one of the best chimis I have had in a long time. They had pizza as well and while we didn't order it, it looked great. I would definitely recommend this place for the chicken chimichanga, however if you are getting anything with chicken I don't think you can go wrong because of the wood fire cook. read more

Fantastic. Family owned business who really, really care about the food and offer incredible service. Clean and pleasant atmosphere. Taco tortillas are homemade, the pizza is awesome. Can't wait to go back and try more of their wood-fired food. Wood Oven Kitchen will be my new most frequented restaurant in Chattanooga. read more

I really don't know what the other reviewers see in this place. Food is okay but certainly not the best Mexican I have had. On the other hand the service was very good. That's why I gave it two stars instead of one. read more

The restaurant is clean, and the employees are courteous. They food is great, but I wish the food was hotter. I've even been there twice, and the food is served at room temperature. read more

Gone here twice now and both times were great experiences! Pizza and wings and Mexican food? It may sound like a strange combination at first, but the flavors are there for everything they serve. First time there we got the wood oven pizza with wings and we were very happy. Large wings, cooked crispy without being overdone, and good sauces. Nothing is too spicy, it's just loaded with flavor. The pizza has lots of toppings and was delicious. Thin and crispy crust and fresh tasting ingredients. Second time was nachos and tacos. Grilled steak nachos and a variety of tacos. Everything was good. Try the beef tongue if you want something a little different! The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. They made changes for our friends on their nachos and changes on our pizza toppings and I couldn't ask for more. No alcohol served there just FYI. I can really picture this place being on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. We will definitely be back! read more

everything is great here I'd say it's the best Mexican I've ever had and so is the pizza
