PizzaFire
This new addition to Town Brookhaven will appeal to the crowd on a budget. Pizzas are 11 to 12 inches, and range in price from $7.99 for a one-topping of your choice to $8.49 for the most expensive specialty pie.
Its dough recipe is a winner; the crust truly has flavor. PizzaFire uses all-natural, fresh, organic ingredients. There is no freezer, nor a microwave. Some toppers, like basil, are hydroponically grown onpremise. When you go the build-your-own-creation route, $8.99 gets you unlimited toppings. After placing your order at the counter, the pies come out fast, baking in 180 seconds. A bar offers a serviceable selection of beer and wine.
Minuses: The texture of the crust. Even though the dough recipe uses 00 flour and the pizzas are baked in a brick oven at 700 degrees, the thin crust is flimsy — not quite the promised Neapolitan pie. Also, avoid the bland pesto sauce that tastes solely of oil and basil.
Best pick: The Buffalo, with free-range Buffalo chicken, mozzarella and Romano cheese on ranchbacon sauce.
Insider tip: The lunch combo, available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, costs $9.49 and includes a small pizza (roughly 7 inches), plus a side (choose from
a side salad, meatballs, Firestix garlic breadsticks, Cinnastix cinnamon breadsticks or a brownie) and a fountain drink.
