vegetarian option… Healthy option for diabetics as well. The mushrooms and corn tortilla versus flour tortilla.

I love their pizza. I'm a pizza snob, and they are one of my favorite. Thank you for bringing them in at the last minute.

Super delicious and fresh. The serving looks small but it’s packed full. Only reason it wasn’t 5 stars is because our Ponzu & Spicy Mayo didn’t have avocado

Nashville hot flavor doesn't have a lot of flavor, we expected more of a saucy flavor. The crumbly texture to the fish was a little annoying but flavor was really good

Burgers were cooked perfectly. I loved the dipping sauce for sweet potato fries. They were promp on service.

I dont tip any more when i order as i do not know if a convenience fee will be added on to my order. Like this time.

No it was really good. I'm not a vegetarian but the veggie burrito was really good. The combo of mushrooms, fries, onions, avocado- it was great. For me though it was too big and got messy half way through. Haha. I know I'm the only person to have an issue with too much food. Anyway half of it was enough for me. No complaints because I know it would probably be bad business to make them smaller and easier to eat. So I would go back because it was delicious and fresh.

The wait for the order to be ready was a bit over 30 mins which is a long time for people on their lunch break.

The Best Pizza Experience 🔥Just had the most amazing pizza from BricknFire Pizza Company, and I’m still thinking about it! The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of chew and smoke flavor. The sauce was rich and flavorful, balancing sweetness and tanginess beautifully. And the toppings? Fresh, generous, and perfectly layered to get the perfect bite every time! Whether you’re a classic cheese lover or all about bold flavors, this pizza is a must-try. If you haven’t caught up with them yet, you’re seriously missing out! 🍕🔥 #BestPizza #FoodTruckEats #PizzaPerfection
