305 Fire Pizza — Restaurant in Gallup

This place is special!

I have enjoyed pizza all over the world. I like it so much that I even built my own Ugly Drum Pizza Oven a number of years ago. Imagine my surprise to find probably one of my all time favorite pizzas in....Gallup, New Mexico? Not Italy? Not New York? Yep here.

Their crust is incredible, it's light and packing flavor, and has a delightful crunch while still being soft with a perfect chew and mouth feel...which you can only get with wood fired pizza! And that Salad was also amazing! You can tell they take great care in selecting their ingredients, and their food offerings are birthed from creativity and passion for their business and serving their customers.

You see this passion and dedication reflected in their staff as well, everyone was kind, friendly, attentive, and enjoying their work together.

The establishment itself had a super fun atmosphere. Again it reminded me of a family restaurant in small town Italy, from the Koi pond to the trellised Grape Vines they are nurturing, it felt warm and welcoming. Alive and vibrant! Just like their food.

My 3 year old and I had fun watching the pizza assembly line as the staff prepared each pizza with care.

For pizzas we had cheese, margarita, sausage, and Omakase. I would say my favorite was the margarita as it really allowed the star of the show, the crust, to shine. Not to say that the other pizzas were in any way lacking, the Omakase was fantastic! Complex without being showy and overly complicated. My kids from age 3 to 16 years old all loved the pizzas too. My teens wouldn't stop raving about how good the pizzas were.

On our way out we had the chance to chat with the owners as they shared how they make the pizzas. You can tell this is something they love doing! Again that passion for excellence and a depth of knowledge was riveting and exciting to listen to!

Give this place a try! You will not be...

I had the best experience today! It started with the Chef explaining the menu and taking my TOGO order. He got called away mid helping me but the OWNER himself, Chuck, ended up finishing my transaction. We had a great conversation and I learned a little more about the place. There are both cozy, indoor and outside patio seating. The place is so charmingly set up and has a welcoming feel. Of the 2 salads they have available, I opted for the Bacon Ranch. While talking with the Chef, I learned that everything is sourced as local as possible and everything is also made from scratch. And its obvious from your first bite! It was AMAZING! EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. I snapped a pic of the pizza he was taking to a table on the patio when he delivered my order to me! These guys really know the worth of their patrons and do all they can to make you feel valued. Placing like this that uplift and cast a positive light on the community should be welcomed and utilized. Oh...and Chuck also showed me a clip of LIVE music they offer on the patio on certain nights. They plan on a more permanent music schedule once more talent in booked. I definately recommend this spot! Best wishes to you all and keep up the...

We have arrived.

It took us all winter - but we finally stopped in at 305 Fire here in Gallup, and let me say that without any shade towards our locality, we felt transported to San Francisco, Miami, or perhaps even some hidden away gem in Palermo.

From the unassuming adobe facade right off 2nd street, to the encahnting Koi pond with real lily pads, and the unforgettable first bite into a crust so light, that it can reasonably be described as "delicious air" - we were simultaneously wowed and humbled by our first dining experience at 305 Fire.

Like seriously, somebody went to Pizza school.

My girlfriend and I more than appreciate the goopiest, cheesiest, drippy slice of NY or deep dish whenever we can find it out of town, but we're undoubtedly committed to coming back often - especially to soothe our big box store stresses.

This Pizza made us think about life.

Shoutout to Duvi! She was pleastant, knowledgeable, and had some jokes.

Question: Does "305" represent the oven temp, or an area...
