    Gluten free pizza
    Vicki J.

    Woodfire was my go-to for gluten free pizza, hands down. They mopped the floor with anyone else in town on their gluten free. Lately, though, it's been a let down. Last night's pizza had no black olives as ordered, and arrived smaller than usual with mostly sauce. Pretty disappointed, and will be trying other local options that put more pride in their work and want the business.

    I have had prior experiences here and they have typically been very pleasant. Yet this time was different, and I was left extremely disappointed. I was enjoying my meal, and I heard someone shouting. It ruined my whole mood to see a higher up handle a mistake in such a brash manner. I saw two young ladies getting yelled at, and that toxicity in the work environment left me feeling sorry for anyone who works at this establishment. I still enjoyed my food, and nothing seemed to be going on for these young ladies to get the treatment they were getting. Woodfire nothing is ever that serious to get worked up over! Your establishment is well polished, and you typically have great service, and I hope for your staffs sake this was just a very busy Friday night!

    From the moment we walked in, we were immediately disappointed. The place had a strong stench of sewer pipes, and the interior was filthy dust-covered blinds, stained carpets, cobwebs, and grime everywhere. I honestly wish we had walked out, but we decided to give it a chance. We started with the calamari and fries, which were actually pretty good and gave me a bit of hope. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. We ordered the vodka pizza and bolognese pasta. The pizza was just okay pepperoni tasted more like cheap bologna. The bolognese was on par with boxed hamburger helper. I really don't like writing bad reviews, but the level of filth in this place made the entire experience uncomfortable. I'm shocked at the number of good reviews this place was gross.

    Eh?? I don't know what it was about this place. But the vibe was off. They sat us in the back room, where the paint was chipping and the diffuser above the table was on and off constantly. I started having an allergy attack as I was eating my pizza. Maybe if I got sat in the front I'd be fine...but IDK. I think takeout is the way to go with this place? Sorry.

    Absolutely love this place. Everything is always fresh & tastes amazing. The staff is also very helpful & they know their stuff. It's become one of our favorite spots to go to. Very cozy ambience & relaxing to go to for a hangout. Weekends are really busy, so definitely make a reservation!

    Honey Ricotta Toast

    Woodfire Dundee is in the heart of downtown West Dundee with a rustic and cozy aesthetic. The menu has a focus on wood-fire pizzas and homemade pastas. There is free street parking as well as a back parking lot. We started with the Cosmo and one of their vday special cocktails, First Kiss. My Cosmo was perfectly balanced with being fruity, tart, and spirit forward. The First Kiss was a fun, fruity gin drink. I loved the flower garnish and subtle glitter inside. Our appetizer was the Honey Ricotta Toast which came with toasted crostinis and a jar full of whipped ricotta and two honey cubes. The crostinis were oiled or buttered for flavor and the ricotta could have used a bit more honey for how I like it. Our mains were the Vodka Rigatoni and Tagliatelle Bolognese. The noodles were homemade and the sauces also tasted fresh. Pasta entrees can have chicken or shrimp added for an up charge; I was a bit disheartened that I couldn't add sausage as they only offer it on pizzas. Either way, the pastas were the star of the night in taste, size, and appearance. We ended the meal with the Zeppole, Italian dough fried with sauces. They had a nice cinnamon sugar finish with chocolate and caramel sauce drizzled over. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and the service at Woodfire. Our next trip will certainly be to come out and try some of their pizzas!

It was a nice night, so we sat outside. Their outside has some beach chairs in one area and some covered seating in another. We sat kinda in between off to the side and it was nice. Nothing too fancy, but also didn't feel like lawn chairs at a friend's either. Food was good, but couldn't bring myself to giving more than 4 stars. It was tasty, but could have been better. My fiend ordered the fennel and sausage wood fired pizza and thought it was good but didn't rave about it (see photo). He did like the flavor of the crust, which from past experiences I remember, If you like mushrooms, definitely try their wild mushroom pizza. They are made for one person, unless you want to share for something lighter. I had the Wood-fired Hanger Steak (see photo). Looking at it, it looked sad. The steak was flavorful but a little tough in parts. But if you compare my photo to what's on their website, you will see a noticeable difference. The description matches what I received, but come on people. Throw some ]thing colorful on the plate - would have preferred the website food, though I think it's the wrong photo based on description. LOL Our server was kind, friendly and attentive. Another gentleman popped in once and awhile to ensure everything was going well. Very friendly. We will be back, but not sure I'll order the steak again.

I grabbed drinks with friends here on a Thursday night and we had our pick of the seats. Luckily my friend, who has been here before, grabbed us seats by the center fire place and we were able to enjoy the atmosphere; chill and, despite the aesthetic, not western-in-your-face. In fact, we were seated as some super comfy leather couches. Sure, it has some special experiences (the bathrooms are slightly confusing the first time) but I thought everything was very well done. The menu has a little bit of everything, from cocktails to beers, small plates to entrees. Again, we only had drinks but my "Campfire" cocktail was tasty (but a bit sweet). I was slightly dismayed that they were all out of both sour beers as well... oh well. For what we were looking for, a chill spot to catch up and imbibe, this place hit the mark perfectly. If you've never been then it's worth checking out.
