The Beast of Blacksburg Pizzeria

Solid pizza. I ordered a medium supreme pizza and cheese sticks for much less than at the big chains. This store is owned by a Tech grad and is local — beats Papa Joh’s any day. Even more, I live in the southern end of town and they had my food here in under half an hour or so with it all piping hot to boot. When you order, say «it’s beast mode» and you get 50% off of pizza forever.

Very surprised! Pizza was piping hot when we picked it up. Wings were seasoned with sauce on the side – and very tasty.
Ordered through grubhub and noticed when I arrived that pizzas are half off. Will order again.

Ordered from Firehouse again!
Carry out. Pizza tasted hot and fresh.
We tried the white pizza this time, very good! We will definitely keep coming back as long as their pizza keeps tasting delicious.

*if you are not from this area, it’s a carry out kind of place. It’s hidden in a small shopping area beside Starbucks off University Blvd.

Delicious pizza but it took nearly an hour to be delivered. Not the best price either. Also received a notice that their prices will be increasing soon.

I was a long time customer of Firehouse Pizza for four years while I got my degree, and never had a complaint. Today I ordered a pizza that took 50 minutes to arrive. Since I had never had a pizza take that long before, I called after 35 minutes. I was told the driver would arrive in five minutes, but it took another 15. When my pizza finally arrived, I had to microwave it to get it warm again. I had been happy with every pizza I ordered to this point, but I would never buy Firehouse pizza again, and I would recommend that if you want pizza in less than an hour, or pizza that is warm, you order from a restaurant that guarantees a delivery time, or at least apologizes for a delay.

This place makes the best pizza in town. Sometimes. Other times it’s absolutely inedible. It’s under new management, but not much has changed: now you get a pepperoncini and ranch dressing with your pizza.

We have given this place a chance several times. The meat is so salty and so processed tasting. It seems like it is full of nitrites and nitrates. They steam the meat which to me brings out the fake meat taste even more. The subs have been edible but not that good. The meat for the meatball subs even was fake tasting. Chips and a drink is going to cost about $ 12 per person depending on which sub.

I really wanted to like this place. The Firehouse brand had made a good impression on me with their subs and then their pizza adverts. Unfortunately, there were a few problems with their pizza division.
Firstly, even after 35% off through the website, you end up paying more than if you call in an order for a large specialty pizza. That’s just weird to me.
Secondly, I was being charged $ 18 for a large specialty and 2 marinara. The guy taking my order was very kind though and corrected his error when I pointed out that my large specialty should only be 10.99 + 1.00 for the marinara. He quickly corrected it to 12.04. I’m not sure how the math works there but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong. Anyway, from the few reviews here, it does seem like the whole pricing+ coupons thing desperately needs to be paid some attention.
And finally… the pizza… I could have overlooked the aforementioned circumstance as my food was in fact delivered promptly and the service was courteous. However, I ordered the Firehouse Pizza and it was pretty subpar. The crust was tough and bland and the sauce wasn’t flavorful at all. The toppings they used, however, seemed fresh and I appreciated that.
Unfortunately, I won’t be ordering here until I hear they’ve revamped their pizza (owners re: we want to like your pizzeria!) I’m hoping that after trying other pizza joints, I won’t have to default to papa johns…

Good pizza, but there are other places in town that have the same quality pizza for a better value.

Hard to rate this place.
Food: Very good.
Service: Either perfect or god-​awful.
The problem is at night, the really nice employees go home. The middle-​aged guys are great. Some college d-​bags start working the late-​night shift and begin overcharging, simply hanging up if you try negotiating. I’m not paying $ 22 for a XL no-​cheese pizza. How much can flour water and sauce cost?

So I came home one day to a huge pink coupon hanging on my door. 50% firehouse pizza order. Sounds like a deal to me! I deferred from our normal Roma’s pizza here in the burg to try something new. Cheesey bread, wings, 2 litre, and large pepperoni, 15.38 (with 50% off coupon). What a steal! The cheesey bread was very fluffy something I’ve never had before, the wings were tangy but good. The pizza was something else. The advertisement says that the dough, sauce is all made in house. Now this is a warning if you dont like, spice maybe? I enjoyed it. There was a nice tang to it, little spicy maybe it was chili’s or something in the sauce, but my iron gut handled it well and enjoyed it. The wifey on the other hand, did not, and did not handle it as well. She ate one piece, then munched on the cheesey bread for the rest of the night. She thought it was the pepperoni that was too spicy, but i assured her it was the sauce. Unfortunately in a household where there is a balance of power I think she would veto any attempt at firehouse again.
