I ordered the Alfredo Fries and Lamb Gyro. The fries were nice and crispy just like I asked for. The Alfredo fries were great. Nice and flavorful. The lamb Gyro was good. I lived in Europe for three years. I used to eat, gyros all of the time fresh off of the roller. I have a higher standard than most people for a Gyro. The Gyro at this location was OK. It was not amazing and it was not bad, it's right in the middle. The Tzatziki sauce was extremely cucumbery. They should use less cucumber next time. The sauce overall was about a five out of ten, it was average. The overall atmosphere inside of the restaurant is great. There is plenty of seating and a nice bar. They do not sell liquor at this location but they do have wine and beer that you can buy. The waitress was wonderful. She made sure I had everything that I needed and that I was ok.

I recently grabbed a few pizzas from By The Fire Pizza on a Saturday, and they were absolutely delicious. The pizzas traveled well, and everyone in my group thoroughly enjoyed their selections. The crust was just right—not too thick—and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. I would definitely recommend By The Fire Pizza to others and am looking forward to returning to dine in as well."

Both me and my husband are from out of town and we were in the mood for pizza. We saw the place closed at 9 but we ordered at 8. Again it’s to be expected the staff is tired and want to go home. Both my husband and I are very kind people and if we would’ve walked in and they said hey sorry we actually can’t accept the order we would have understood. My husband walks in to pick up the pizza and the cook is like WHY TF DO WE GET THESE ORDERS IN. I WANT TO GO HOME . F THIS. My husband was taken aback by this interaction. And if the management asks his front of house people they will confirm this story. My husband did note the woman in the place were very sweet and apologetic. However that type of service is not worth any pizza. We will not be purchasing again and I suggest other people be aware. The woman who were kind and still made our pizza is the only reason there is two starts for service. They were great and should always be there.

The staff was great but pizza is super salty and the beer special two options. Not worth the visit.

Large is medium. Undercooked one then way over cooked the other. Gave it to dog later and she wouldn't even eat it. Appetizer was cold when served? Then when the manager asked if everything was okay the waitress came over and answered for us and said it's all great. We tried to clarify and they wouldn't refund us for it when we didn't even eat one of the pizzas. As if she was afraid of her boss? Very strange.

Meat Lovers Pizza was delish but the large pizza is small esp for $25!! They need to increase the size of their large pizzas but NOT in the price then I will return and highly recommend!!

OUTSTANDING pizza!!! INCREDIBLE crust! This is a gastronomic MIRACLE come true for me.FINALLY: this former Chicagoan pizza lover has found OUTRAGEOUS, REALLY WONDERFUL pizza in Columbia, SC.My husband & I had an artichoke, spinach & garlic pizza with ricotta & mozzarella cheese. It was PERFECT. We will try their red-sauced pizza next time.Everything is made there: the dough, the red sauce, the meatballs. Her daughters make the sweet tea- it is absolutely awesome: killer-good jet fuel!

Spent $30 on what was supposed to be a large pizza. Pizza was 13 inches in diameter. Seriously that is not a large. We had eaten there several months ago inside the pizzeria and really enjoyed our pizza which was much bigger though what I picked up tonight.
Great service & servers...yummy pizza & salad!! ?Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pizza was yummy ?

The pizza is good, but it’s a little floppy. The underside is soft, could be crispier. The entire thing could be thinner and crispier. Kinda pricey for the size. $25 for 14” supreme.
