I Love Fire Works Pizza! The food here is great, upscale and fancy types of pizza, plus some other upscale bar food. Some very tasty appetizers (i personally recommend the roasted olives if are an olive lover); the goat cheese is great too. Every pizza i have tried has been great so take your pick! Things are on the lighter/healthier side too :) Ive never really had any problems with the service, a few blips here and there when its gotten really busy but thats to be expected. There were very good about it once and i ended up getting a beer for free. There is a nice looking outdoor area that i have yet to try out, but ill be sure to be there once the weather permits. Pretty average noise level, sometime it gets back and a little loud, and some nights they will have an acoustic guitarist playing. And i cant forget the beer selection!! Always a superb list of American microcraft, foreign brews, and (most importantly) Belgian (and Belgian style) beers (duppel, golden ale, and lambics). The bar is pretty classy too if you want to sit there and just have a beer and an appetizer. There have a few flat screen TVs but nothing offensive or loud. Its not a "cheap eat" but pretty reasonable for an upscale/causal dining experience. This area needs more bars/restaurants like this! (ie NOT a pretentious foreign imitation, but also not a college scene/ sports bar :) Get there early on weekends! better yet, grab a drink while you wait!

Very disappointed by the service. Went out with my girlfriend and a friend who just moved to the area. Me and my girlfriend split a pizza and friend ordered a sandwich. Our waiter brought the pizza out, but didnt have the sandwich or mention anything about it. A few minutes later he came back over and looked and didnt say anything. Sensing he made a mistake, he never came back the rest of our trip, instead of just apologizing then it would have been no big deal. Finally, we had to ask another waitress if she could look into things and it was clear that they had forgotten about the sandwich. Mind you, we were one of only two tables seated inside, so it was not busy or could have got lost in a rush. She finally just requested for it to go. Very disappointing.

The food overall was decent, with the calamari the best aspect. The pizza was OK, nothing to write home about. The beer selection was good, with some real gems. My review really stems from the service. Our waitress on 8/15/14 was Michelle (or something like that) and was the worst waitress weve ever encountered. We were in full tourist clothing, and treated like second rate citizens. I commented to Michelle that our appetizer (Calamari) shouldnt be coming out the EXACT same moment as our Pizza (So which do you eat so one doesnt go cold) and I got no apology- just lip. My wife insisted we walk on our check, ive never done that in my life- but I was highly tempted. This place was average at best, and the service is a sour taste in your mouth.

I would love to have given Fire Works five stars... everything was going brilliantly - good service, excellent pizza - until the manager came over to confess (after wed finished) that they had failed to make my pizza the gluten-free one Id ordered. Thankfully Im not a celiac, but I am very gluten intolerant and had a seriously uncomfortable week after that. Really, really not a good mistake to make. In addition, my husband was really ill for 48 hours after we are there, and my daughter was sick too - hard to know if that was down to the pizza they shared but its totally put us off going back. A real shame because as I said, the pizza was really good!!

I frequent Arlington for business and decided to try something new for dinner on a Monday night. Arriving at Fire Works Pizza around 8:50 pm, they werent busy at all. However, I had to wait a good 2 minutes before the hostess decided to walk back up to the front to seat me and she had this annoyed look on her face. On top of that, when asking her about the restaurant and closing times, she was giving me curt replies. After I was seated, another 5+ minutes went by until a waiter came up to ask me what I wanted to drink. Its one thing if they were busy but they only had about 4 other tables besides mine and several waiters/waitresses.

Great location, upbeat atmosphere and outstanding food. You can call ahead for reservations. We usually dont have a long wait to get in but when the seating becomes reduced during the winter or poor weather--it is better to call ahead. I love the outdoor seating and the open air gas fire-pits. One thing that they could do better is the consistency of their wait staff-sometimes you get someone who is simply outstanding. Other times, you will get someone who you dont see unless you waive them down for a simple drink refill. Overall, this is a great pizza restaurant with a good variety of cocktails, beers, wines, and food.

The first time I went here, I got the Segundo pizza. Ive never had pizza with apple on it, but it was very good and something I recommend. The unique beers were tasty as well. The second time I went here, I got the pizza with lamb (forgot what it was called). It was nothing to write home about, but I later got the breakfast during brunch on a Sunday (hey, I was hungry!). The french toast with syrup and bacon was delicious! The bar area was great with nice big screen TVs to watch football on, talk to the person next to you, and enjoy pizza, french toast, bacon, and beer. Yum Yum!

Well I was at the one in leesburg, the pizzas are unbelievable. I got the small shrimp and clam pizza minus the capers and onions on it. It was soooooo good, I was mad that I did not order the large. I did order the stuffed mushrooms as well, they were right on point with their average price point. I also got the seasonal pumpkin cookie sundae, pretty much inhaled that too. I was there with 6 others, we all had different pies, and we all devoured our food, too good to stop eating! 4.9 stars because the starters need a little work, but that was not what I was there for anyways.

Unsurprisingly, considering this is a pizza restaurant, the pizza is amazing. What is surprising, however, is the quality of the non-pizza food on the menu. The Saturday and Sunday brunch menu is extraordinary and features chicken and waffles as well as Eggs Benedict on the amazing fireworks pizza dough. Another clever brunch item is the Spent Hops parfait which features hops from the local Right Proper Brewing company. The red sangria is one of my wifes favorites and the beer selection is quite good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The pizza was great. The service was slightly less than professional, a bit disorganized, but only slightly. Less than sixty seconds after we gave our waiter our order another server tried to deliver two pizzas to our table. He had the wrong table. My son ordered milk. It came in a box without a straw and spilled when we tried to open it. We had some trouble finding the entrance. If you approach from the east it is really hard to find the front door. Needs better signage. But like I said the food was good and the other things were minor.
