Fire Slice Pizzeria — Restaurant in Amarillo

I used this place for a 21 person wedding rehearsal dinner last Friday night. I was VERY disappointed. I talked on phone & met with manager in person & wrote out very detailed instructions of what I wanted. It was very important to me that everything was right because of occasion. He told me there would not be any problems handling my order, especially since my party was small. I Called ahead to let them know we were on our way & was told everything was ready for us. When I got there Nothing but water on tables. I had to help one waitress, who was very good, put out plates & silverware & more wine glasses. Beer was not served as we discussed but he did take care of that on bill. All bowls of salad weren't ready at same time & then no salad tongs brought with salad. Ordered 4 different large pizzas per table. Got all small pizzas & they weren't separated by table so had to pass pizza back & forth between tables or I took to tables. I, the groom's mom, was 2nd waitress because only one waitress assigned to us & she was very busy. Pizza was fine but wrong size so I didn't think enough for all of us. Bread pudding not nearly as good as manager told me it was. Bill had to be corrected. I just didn't have much fun! Beware of using this place for group event even if manager says he has done many much larger & no problems. After owner/manager read this review, he sent me 2 ugly emails basically stating that I was impossible to work with & that he was not apologetic for anything that happened. He told me I didn't tip waitress enough but he figured tip & it was already included on bill when we got bill. He told me I was one of those people that would never be happy with what they did. He felt they gave us excellent service & stated he should have just cancelled the...

I googled "best pizza in Amarillo", and this is the first thing that popped up. Unfortunately, while the restaurant definitely had its strong points, the pizza wasn't one of them.

The first thing that arrived was the drink. They have an interesting selection of drinks that I've never seen in restaurants before. Then came my appetizer, which they just called 'cheese curds'. This was the high point of the meal; the batter was zesty and well seasoned, and it complemented the hint of jalapeno in the cheese perfectly. I was stoked! What would the main course be like?

But then the pizza came.

I kept it simple and ordered a pepperoni pizza, and they kept it simple and gave me something that would have been an embarrassment even for the big delivery chains. I know I asked for a 'traditional pizza' but come on, I still expected something good. What I got was mundane and honestly kind of unpleasant-looking. There were a couple of burnt-black bubbles on top, the bottom of the crust was definitely somewhat burnt, and yet the parts that weren't burnt somehow gave off the impression of being undercooked. I saw nothing to redeem this poor sad pizza. In fact I'm afraid I have to go to somewhat of an extreme and say 'the pizza was so lame that the burnt part was actually an improvement.'

So, this is definitely not the best pizza I've had in Amarillo. In fact, it's close to the bottom of the barrel. I may come back for those cheese...

My mom and I just FINALLY tried this place and are sad we haven't gone sooner! We weren't actually sure where they were at first, but it was like a treasure hunt that was worth the effort! The food was INCREDIBLE, and the service was fantastic, Our server, Matt, made awesome suggestions and when our order came out wrong (not completely his fault because we changed part of it mid-order), he apologized and offered to bring us a free personal sized pizza of the correct type. We started with the calamari, and for pizza, Matt recommended the Honeybomb, the Americano, or the Fire Slice Combo. We ordered a half-and-half of the Americano and the FS Combo. I said "Honeybomb" by mistake, but changed that to Americano, so the mistake was understandable when it came out with Honeybomb on that half instead. By the time we'd had the yummy calamari, a drink, and a slice each of the two kinds we ordered, we were too full to try the "bonus" Honeybomb. However, the other two were insanely delicious and the crust was PERFECT. And I'm picky when it comes to pizza crust! We ended up with a to-go box with some of all three pizza types, so needless to say, Matt got a hefty tip, and we look forward to our leftovers! He was the perfect combination of attentive and friendly, was knowledgeable about the wine selections, and we will...
