Flash Fire Pizza — Restaurant in Boca Raton

The relocated Flash Fire is finally open, but no point in going :-(. Heartbreaking really. I used to go like five times a week when they were in Fort Lauderdale. Often only thing I ate the whole day was lunch and then dinner at Flash Fire, but the new format is bad. Used to be like going to Chipotle or Blaze with the assembly line format which allowed you to get the exact right amount of each topping you wanted. Now, you tell them at the register and hope for the best. Menu doesn't even mention you can get specialty cheese for extra but if you ask it's possible. Sadly the ingredients which used to be the best are now generic junk like at a Papa John's or something. It's no longer gourmet pizza. No more premium mushrooms. Jalapenos, but not fresh sliced... Pizza was under cooked and almost no sauce. I used to love that spicy sauce. I used to tell anyone and everyone who would listen how Flash Fire had the best pizza I'd ever had, which given I've been to Italy and lived in NYC for 15 years was saying something! I may never bother going back sadly. Perhaps if I'm right near by and hungry I'll give them a second chance. If management need to fix and increase margins, they should increase prices and go back to the quality ingredients and old assembly line format. I'd be a regular despite being a 40 minute drive away, even at double your current prices if you went back to quality pizza instead of the low quality stuff you are serving now. My girlfriend and I used to check twice a week to see if you'd reopened yet, and now finally a year later you're open but the old Flash Fire is dead.

They do give you large portions and it's a decent price. Deserves more than one star. If you enjoy low quality but cheap food it's still worth checking out. I'm heartbroken since I loved the old format with the high quality ingredients. Sausage sucked. Bacon was good though. Crust was better than at Blaze pizza. I don't like how you need two hands for the soggy Blaze crust. However, I think the crust changed too at the new location. It's good but didn't seem as good as at the old location.

The greatest pizza place I'd ever been, heartbreakingly is still gone. This new restaurant doesn't deserve to be called Flash Fire, it tarnishes the good name of a craft pizza bar that no other restaurant could match. May the real Flash Fire rest in peace. I'll never forget how amazing your...

So I tried the Flash Fire Pizza today using the free pizza coupon from Facebook, and I had their Prosciutto pizza. It was a good, tasty pizza, but I think it was a bit dry. It had no sauce but instead a garlic paste which was tasty, but it could have used more cheese to counter the lack of sauce. Also the prosciutto isn't cut into smaller pieces so you can enjoy it in every bite. Instead each pizza slice had an entire thin slice of prosciutto on it so you had to tear into it to leave some on for the rest of the slice. Otherwise you may eat it all on the first bite. Even a rough chop would have helped prevent that. It was also topped with arugula which I like, but I felt they put too much on it. It wasn't cooked down onto the pizza which to me was a miss. Adding the arugula near the end of the cooking process would have added a nice, pepperry flavor, and adding near the end versus the beginning would help maintain a freshness component to the greens without wilting them too much.

The cost of their pies are from $10-14, and they are all 10" personal pizzas. They also have salads and sandwiches, and happy hour on select beers. Their staff is very friendly and the location is immaculately clean. I'd consider trying it again if I'm in the area, but I likely won't go out of my way to visit. There are better pizza places around for the portion, cost and overall flavor and...

What a fun new place for pizza! All of the pizzas are "personal" size, but seem to be about 12 inches. It was an easy two lunch size.

The decor is nice. Clean and modern with pots of fresh herbs and big bins of fresh veggies which ultimately end up on the pizzas. Some nice jazz plays in the background.

You start with choosing your sauce - traditional, Alfredo, pesto, etc. then, it's on to the cheese station. There you'll find the traditional mozzarella, parm, Romano and feta, but also ricotta, Gorgonzola and others.

Next, it's veggies, which range from roasted squash to roasted corn, cucumber, artichokes and more than a dozen more.

Meats are next. Meatballs, pork, chicken, sausages or whatever sounds good. Everything was fresh and generously applied.

Less than 5 min. later, your perfectly fired, crunchy, thin crust pie is brought to your table. You can enjoy it with an assortment of design your own soft drinks, beer or wine.

My only issues were that the ricotta needed some salt and my chicken was just a bit on the dry side. They were also out of some of the toppings, which kept it from being 5 stars.

However, unless you opt for premium ingredients, like steak, you can pile up your pizza for $8. Not bad at all. I'm...
