We were there early on a Saturday this past Winter. Not bad, not the best. The iceberg lettuce salad left a lot to be desired, they did have really good cheese bread and it got crowded fast. I would go back.

That pizza looks way too good for words. Sorry to hear that you had to deal with sucky service.

The interior is high camp. I don’t think the owners get that though. True folk art.

The pizza is very good, however I still am nostalgic for Shakey’s and their beer hall style seating and banjo band from back in the ’60s. “Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end….. la la la….”

No prob, Aaron. I’d never heard of Red’s Savoy, either, until I moved to St. Paul in ‘93. LOL

Noodleman… I was barely born in the 70’s and I grew up on the east side of the cities: is that a valid excuse? Thanks for the comment and the bit of history. I have a lot to learn (and a lot more pizza places to visit).

Never heard of Fireside?! Back in the day (see: the 1960s), it was one of the only pizzerias in Richfield. Broadway Pizza also had a Richfield location, IIRC. Until Shakey’s came along, that was about it for pizza in and around Richfield.

(Just to show how much more older than dirt I am, Kentucky Fried Chicken was also available, ca. 1968, only on Sundays as a take-out from DeLaria’s restaurant in Southdale. This was back when the recipe itself was franchised by the Colonel; there were no KFC restaurants.)

Oh man, I love Fireside Pizza. I had a few friends work there during High School and would order from there all the time. Definitely the best pizza in Richfield

Been there with Adrienne once. Pretty good. Not a huge fan of the “patio” (we were there in summer) but it seemed like better than inside. Pizza was kick-ass.

nice choice. this place rules. note that it’s usually *packed* on weekends, so if that’s not your scene it’s probably best to hit them up on a weeknight.
