Woodfield pizza in Rockford. (5 being best, 0 being worst) Service 5 stars Value 4 stars Taste 4.75 We started with the meatball appitizer. The meatball had a softer texture than I expected. The sauce, bread slices, and meatball were delicious. We all agreed the pizza here was amazing! All pizza were hand stretched 12" pizzas. The crust was airy and had a great flavor. The combo pizzas pepperoni was slightly crispy and a great flavor. The chunk sausage had a good size and great flavor. Tony Varella says the pizza paired well with a PBR! The steakhouse pizza was good. Alex Varella says that pizza was slightly better than the combo. The steak was slightly tough because it was a skirt steak. (I believe) The flavor of the steak was neutral to me. We asked for medium but it was more well done than medium. Overall it was really good. The artichoke and gorganzola was a punch in the mouth! We didn't know what gorganzola was so I'm not gonna bash the pizza for our ignorance. I was the only one who liked it. The strength of the cheese was VERY strong. Think blue cheese crumble and lemon juice with minced garlic. The artichoke pieces were great. Its not a pizza you can eat a lot of. It's powerful Taste was a lot to handle. Dessert was burbon bread pudding, Crem Brule, and zeppole (itialan donut holes) Alex and I each split a Brule and Bread pudding. They were both fantastic. I wish the bread pudding had a touch more burbon sauce and flavor but it was still great. Brule was great. Sugar was crisp and not over cooked. Cream was slightly firm and great taste. Tony had the bread pudding and liked it. Amy Warne my had the donuts drizzled with cream and chocolate sauce.. They were good. Some were soft and some had quite a crunch. She dipped them in whipped cream. I forgot our servers name but she didn't miss a thing. Never without a drink or item. She was great! Over all the bill was $104 not counting tip. With all the appetizers, pizzas, and desserts, and tip total was $130

This was my first time eating at this location. We were told this place had the best pizza around and so we decided to check it out. It has a very cozy interior, perfect place to grab a few beers and order a pie. The menu was pretty full of items that were not terribly expensive. I ordered the arugula salad with goat cheese as well as a spinach and mushroom pizza. Between that and a glass of beer my ticket was only $27 bucks. Both food items were out of this world. The staff was very friendly and quick to take our orders. The food arrived quickly and everything was extremely fresh and very tasty. Other people in our group ordered different food items and no one was disappointed in any way. The outside is very clean and overall a safe location to come with your family or on a date night. I truly enjoyed dining here and will return in the future when I am in the area. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Went here for a special dinner with three generations of my family. Couldn't have picked a classier or more exquisitely tasty option. They've earned a repeat customer for sure. If you haven't been here, you have to try it. Fresh ridiculously local flavors abound. These guys definitely know how to take pies to the next level. It's all about the wood fired oven, obviously, but they've got everything else covered as well. Bring the credit card because it will set you back, but I guarantee you'll agree. I definitely recommend the bruschetta as your most awesome appetizer option. The tomato, basil, balsamic they give with it is like food crack. I notice when people take pics of pizzas they get here, there's always at least one slice missing, so I'm including ONE whole one. Couldn't get pics of both without someone digging in! Service was amazing as well. Please don't sleep on this downtown gem.

Dropped in for an early dinner after a quick browse through the Friday market. Tried the blackberry hibiscus margarita, meatball gigante, lobster pizza, fusili, and left with a s'mores "pizza." The margarita was light and refreshing on a warm day. The meatball, offered as an appetizer, has a very tender, almost Pâté-like consistency. The fusili had a lovely lemon basil flavor, with the sauce being just a bit heavier than expected, which was not unpleasant. The lobster pizza smells and tastes wonderful, but can be a bit heavy on the butter. If I visit again I would probably ask for light butter, or butter on the side. Visiting in off-hours is nice, as food comes up quickly. We put our order in for the take-home dessert and it took longer to receive than expected, as the restaurant had become busier and the pizza oven only has so much space. Friendly service as well!

Someone recommended this place to us. I'm not too familiar with Rockford but if I'm ever back I will stop by this place. Service was awesome. Hostess sat us right away. Server was there a couple min later and she was great. Believe her name was Kendra. We got our drinks. Smoked old fashioned was good, a little sweeter than I make them but still good. The fries with truffle salt were wonderful. The pizza was fantastic. A nice change from the usual Midwest flat crust or deep dish. Crust was delicious, and fresh mozzarella. It's a 12 in pizza, I probably could have eaten it all but I was left with 2 slices and my wife ate half of hers. Made for a delicious breakfast the next morning.

As a PIZZA lover for 55 years, Woodfire is in the top five. However, even better than the Pizza were the Tuscan Fries. Described as follows on their menu, "Kennebec potatoes (steamed then fried) cooked in duck fat, finished with parmigiano reggiano, garlic, fresh herbs, and black truffle salt." You WILL be telling others about them . The fennel sausage and fresh mozzarella on the sausage and red bell pepper pizza WILL ring you bell. For veggies, try the rapini and ricotta 🍕, terrific combo. Very kid friendly .Very good serice. As a frugal guy, I think their prices are fair . I will go out of my way when I am 😞. On the other hand, a great place is to be shared .Go here and be ☺.
