Just don't order the Hatch Crostini - get the Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Peppers and you will be happy.Golden Tree Restaurants LLC, a Richardson-based restaurant investment group, on Feb. Will I be calling them next time my son asks for pizza? No. So, will I be going back for a GNO for drinks? For sure. Now, granted, my husband and I did have 2 cocktails each, which was probably half the total of the bill (which is so wrong), but still. Hell no." No pizza place, I don't care how fancy pants you make it is worth $100 for a casual weekday dinner. But when I got the bill and saw that the value of what we ordered was close to $100 for three people, I said, "Oh, no. The food delivery was stilted and uneven. On the other hand, the pizzas were good, but not great. It was loaded with flavor and had a cinnamon bite to it that was addicting. The Red Passion Sangria was so delicious I could have forgone the food and just had a liquid dinner and been happy.
Our server, Lorraine, was so cute I wanted to adopt her and take her home. With Fireside Pies I am torn down the middle. If they bring the bill and I can look at it and say to myself, "Yep, that was worth every bit of XXX." Then that was a good meal. I gauge a good review by how I feel when the bill comes. It was delicious and the only thing I didn't like about it is that it was served 15 minutes after the other two pizzas had hit the table and were already half devoured. I had the Peta Pie with balsamic mustard portobello mushrooms, goat cheese, red peppers, piñon nuts and fresh arugula. I would have preferred to make that choice before the entree was delivered to our table (shrug). The boys did, but it was too late to change anything at that point shy of being a douchebag and sending it back. Well, it was supposed to have truffle oil but our server delivered it to our table with an "Oops, I'm sorry but we're out of truffle oil. They were packed with flavor and were hot, delicious little flavor bombs in your mouth.įor our entrees we went with a Premium Meats Pizza (or as I teasingly referred to it - The Caveman Special) made with spicy sausage, crumbled meatballs, crispy Prosciutto, mozzarella, smoked provolone and truffle oil. I am giving two thumbs way up for the Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Peppers. But the next appetizer we got totally made up for the first #FAIL. Cold goat cheese on cold bread smeared with a cold tapenade. We all thought it would be a hot appetizer but it came out cold. Plus, what kid doesn't like pizza!? This month, Fireside Pies is on the Hatch Chili bandwagon featuring an array of Hatch Chili-themed specials. Monday was the first day of school for Highland Park, so I took my husband and son to dinner so we could get the low-down from my son about his day. Last night I paid a visit to the Inwood Road location in Park Cities and our visit was a mixed bag of tricks. Each Fireside Pies restaurant reflects the character of its neighborhood so no two are the same.
Launched in 2004, Fireside Pies is now a collection of intimate neighborhood restaurants dedicated to serving outstanding artisan pizzas made in hot wood-fired ovens, as well as items that naturally compliment pizza such as market fresh salads, craveable appetizers, housemade desserts, fine wines, craft beers and scratch cocktails. According to their website, Fireside Pies is "a neighborhood gathering place with its own destination appeal." I have visited a couple of their locations in years past when they first opened but it had been AGES since I'd sampled their pies, so when their PR firm recently invited me in to revisit the concept, I was eager to get reintroduced to their cuisine.
