Old Firehouse Pizzeria — Restaurant in Tulare

I’ve been coming to Firehouse Pizza since 2003. For many years, it was a longtime local staple—known for its welcoming atmosphere, bold flavors, and consistent quality. Their pizzas had character, with the meat lover’s being one of the best in town—on par with Boston House Pizza and second only to Fatty Albert’s.

But over the last few years, the quality and experience have noticeably declined.

Today’s visit was the tipping point. I ordered the meat lover’s pizza and was shocked by how bare it looked—it could’ve easily been mistaken for a plain cheese pizza. The hearty portions of sausage, pepperoni, and ham that used to define it are now barely there, and the flavor just isn't the same.

The atmosphere has changed too. The friendly vibe is gone, and during a past visit, I witnessed an older employee go off on a customer who appeared to just be browsing. It was awkward and completely out of line.

It’s sad to see how far things have fallen. After over 20 years of visits, I can no longer recommend this place. I truly hope it finds its way back to what...
