Fire & Stone Pizza

Please ignore the rating — I wasn’t able to eat there. I’m writing the review to let people who want to go that they only accept cash or check. It’s a shame I didn’t have enough cash on me because the locals seem to love this place.

We always stop here on our way home from the beach. Super nice people, great pizza & soups, and great price. Only problem is that it’s not closer to home! Cash only, but they do have an ATM for a fee.

I love Fire & Stone! Great pizza, super yummy ranch and beer on tap! I always enjoy the pizza on the bar and love that you are able to ask for a «speciality» pizza to be placed on the bar. The only down fall is, cash or check only. They have tacky atm’s inside in case you are someone like me that only uses a card. If they invested money into upgraded technology to run cards, I bet they would get 2x the business. Great place to visit if you are on the island or near in town. Don’t forget your cash though!

Cheryl told us about the place. We came and ate the best pizza we had in a long time. Salad bar was super fresh. Shelby was a great server. Cooks even came out to see how we liked it. It was superb. Thanks Cheryl!

Very disappointing! We were excited to try the pizza and showed up an hour before their posted closing time. As we were walking to the door, a waitress rushed over and turned off the open sign and locked the door on us. It was clear that they saw us pull up and were uninterested in serving us. Not a great business plan.

The price is certainly right. $ 8.99 for all you can eat, will get you a salad bar, pizza, and a soft serve ice cream sundae (only one sundae). The salad bar is just OK, and I found the «home made» blue cheese dressing to be rather bland. The pizza is decent in both quality and taste. At any given time, there are about a dozen combinations to choose from. The pizza is cut in small wedges, to encourage trying a number of different types, rather than filling up on just a couple of slices. The sundae is good.
My wife ordered a small carafe of house pinot grigio. It’s hard to find a pinot grigio that is not drinkable, but I tasted it and wanted to spit it out! At the very low price, I should have known.
Plastic laminate tops on the tables would help a lot, as these tables, though clean, are tacky from the humidity.

Best Frican pizza buffet ever!!! Great selection, great salad, Pepsi, and they even give you an ice cream sundae for desert, all for $ 7.99!!!

My husband, granddaughter and I returned to Fire and Stone Pizza this year. We were a little later than last year so we had to wait. The young lady taken names was great. She smiled every time I saw her. The server, bus boy and pizza makers were all very pleasant. It is such a joy to be treated like this at such a busy time of the year. Great food, great people. Only regret I had was seeing people get up from the tables and not leaving tips for these hard working employees. I know it is a buffet, but really they deserve a tip also!

Trough food. Plain and simple.
We went because my mom heard glowing things about the restaurant from a friend. We have no idea why.
The salad bar was OK, but nothing special. The pizzas were not good, and way too cheesy (I love cheese… that’s how awful the pizza was). The ice cream was cheap soft serve.
On the plus side, it was cheap. But you definitely get what you pay for at this place.

Great place with excellent service. Huge selection of pizzas, fresh salad bar, and ice cream sundaes to boot. Highly recommend driving back off of the island for this one.

Very good pizza large variety pizzas all you can eat fantastic salad bar delicious ice cream beer was very cold and a good price, I really have a good time and it’s very good value for you money I definitely will be back

Salad bar is excellent with a terrific assortment of vegetables and some delicious homemade dressing. They almost always have at least one soup that I like. The pizza is very good with a good crust, very nice sauce, decent cheese, and a good assortment of toppings. They do a good job of keeping up with demand and the pizza is almost always fresh. Doesn’t sit too long!
Ice cream sundae for desert. Throw in a coke and walk out very full of good food for $ 10 plus tip. Not a bad deal at all. Also… Carry out a large 3 topping for $ 12.good deal

Need to post several signs and better police the people who take dirty plates back up to the buffet. I’ve only been here 20 minutes and I’ve watched 3 geriatrics take filthy plates up there and contaminate everything with their filth. Not one staff member is paying attention and it’s not busy, it’s almost 3pm.

Surprisingly good pizza!!! The places we have up north that do pizza buffet’s have a lot to be desired… But this place was incredibly good! There were, maybe, 8 – 10 different kinds of pizza on the buffet along with a great salad bar to boot! And a little tip… If you don’t see a pizza combo that «flips your skirt», they’ll make you a pizza of any two toppings you can think of and put it on the buffet for everyone to try! Give’m a weird one! LOL!
And on top of all the pizza and salad bar, they’ll make you an ice cream Sunday with any mix of toppings you want… And, no, they aren’t the pizza toppings! Crushed cones, chocolate sauce, and a few more!
Go give ‘em a try! You won’t regret it… Well, maybe only after eating like a pig… But that’s all on you! LOL!

My wife and I go there, sometimes with friends or relatives. Lately we have experienced the value of Best Business Practices and we wish to applaud Eric for bringing them here and changing ‘great’ into ‘awesome.’ It is one thing to run a restaurant, it another thing to run a business, any business. We love that the desert comes with the buffet dinner and were stopping our visits because the machine was broken. I mentioned this to Eric, who apologized and didn’t just say sorry, but proceeded to tell me how and when they were fixing the problem. This is the kind of thing one usually hears as idle promises elsewhere. At Fire & Stone Eric is a man of his word and we feel blessed that he has made such a positive contribution to our favorite pizza house.
Cheryl seems to be the one that runs all of the behind the scenes stuff, but is also out front making sure all of the guests are happy. Even when the buffet is ready to shut down she is still offering to get something custom prepared for you at no extra cost. This is the kind of diligence that every owner wants. Maybe only 1 in 50 take her up on it, but it is the thought that counts, in my book.
Finally, we must mention Jason. Here’s a guy that any business would be happy to have working for them. His only care, it appears, is to love what he does and the people he does it for. Bet you won’t catch him not smiling or having the best time with filling his customer’s orders.

GREASY! GREASY!GREASY!
I would not recommend this place to anyone especially for dine in. It’s dark, dirty and the customer service is horrible. Luckily, I wanted TOGO because once I stepped through the door I knew it wasn’t a place I would enjoy sitting in. Very old furniture, dirty carpet and dim lighting.
My problems started with the cashier/​lady that helped me with my order because she didn’t have a clue about anything on the menu. She was simply there just to chat with the men that came to the bar to get tips. When I asked for packets of Parmesan cheese or crushed pepper she looked so confused. Now I don’t mind paying extra if its a charge however she advised me that there was none for me to carry out. WHAT!!! A pizza establishment with no crushed pepper or cheese for the carry out guest? Domino, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, have it upon request. Horrible.
Last but not least once I got home to eat, I removed a slice of pizza and the amount of grease that covered my hands is another story! The pizza had more grease than anything else, the sausage was very very chewy. I had to spit out many pieces because I was unsure of what I was eating, Italian sausage isn’t chewy!
This place is simply another overrated tourist trap. I’ve had MUCH better at Little Caesars for $ 5 and this is far from thin crust. I could not taste the «Fire Stone» at all, Trader Joes frozen pizza is better tasting than this.

Most of the people who will eat here are going to enjoy the buffet. We wanted to eat our pizza in our condo, and the highest rated pizza place on AMI was closed, do we decided to take out from Fire And Stone. A large meatball pizza cost us around 12.
It was done quick, we and were able to take it back while it was still hot. The crust wasn’t exactly crispy. There wasn’t a ton of flavor in the sauce but the cheese and meatball had a decent pop of flavor. In a place of limited options I would certainly eat this rather than the chain pizza.

This place was so great!
We stopped by after time at the beach for take out. The place was quite busy so we were a little worried we may have to wait awhile for the pizza but they said they could have it ready in 15 minutes.
We ordered a large supreme. A medium fire and brick margarita and a medium pesto nesto.
As they said it was ready in about 15 minutes. Everyone was very friendly and they gave us drinks while we waited.
We loved everything! It was all so good. Good crust, good flavor, very generous toppings. The fire and brick margarita was our favorite. Simple but very yummy.
They also do buffet, lunch and dinner which seemed to be pretty popular on a Wednesday at 7pm.
Would certainly come again!

Vacationing on AMI and on our last night we made a last minute order, ended up being the best meal of our whole trip!!! This pizza is seriously amazing, fresh ingredients, and the cheese– OMG the cheese is to die for! As I an taking a break from my first two slices I immediately had to write a review because this pizza is BOMB AF! Don’t miss out. Super friendly people as well– they stayed open for us and took our after hour order! Great! Pizza pizza pizza

Live review:
This is Coty for Unilocal news at 8, and I am coming to you live from the waiting line outside of Fire and Stone Pizza Buffet in the beautiful town of Cortez, FL. Behind me are all of the local snowbirds that are raving about the delicious pizza and ice cream sundaes from here. This is the hottest place in Bradentown, so I am here to get the scoop on the awesomeness that is Fire and Stone Pizza Buffet.
I am standing in the line that goes out the door, and have been waiting 15 minutes so far. They are closing in an hour so I hope that they seat us before then. If I don’t make it inside, I will have let all of you folks down, so I must suffer on for the sake of good Unilocaling.
This is just a pizza buffet so I am trying to figure out the fantastical nature of this pizza restaurant. I have not yet had a chance to interview the staff, because they are so busy avoiding customers. While I stare at the empty, un-​bussed tables, I ponder the delightful food that I will eventually be blessed with eating. So far the customers stuffing their faces appear to be eating cheapo pizza from a buffet. There is another pizza buffet down the street that is cheaper, faster, with no wait and better atmosphere— but it is a chain… Will update you tomorrow with the details. This is Unilocal news at 8, I’m Coty S.
After dining:
Yep, it is a pizza buffet. Slightly better than the chain down the street.
The pizza is not gourmet or NY style, it just tastes like decent homemade pizza. They ask you if there are any special requests at the pizza bar and keep the pizza well stocked from open until close. You can choose up to two toppings. They have some quality toppings like; sliced roasted garlic, thin sliced sausage, and pesto. I am not tasting any Fire or Stone on this pizza, and I think I saw a gas oven in the back, but not sure.
The salad bar was completely obliterated and not refilled. But, I think there as some remnants of a good salad bar there. Three different homemade salads, loaded with garlic; ziti pasta salad, broccoli salad, and tomato and onion salad.
People with old teeth, or no teeth, sure love their soups. There were two offered at Fire and Stone when we were there; Sour Cabbage (WTF) and Chicken Noodle (cannot remember that one for sure, because I was stuck on the Sour Cabbage). However, the staff were actually eating the Sour Cabbage soup like it was going out of style, bringing over bowls and mugs from the back and filling it with the soup, so it must have been good.
Customers rave about their soft serve vanilla ice cream sundaes. There are about five different combinations to choose from, the sundae menu is on the table. I had the Pina Colada, which was vanilla soft serve with pineapple syrup topping and coconut. It was just ok.
Currently, $ 8.99 for the dinner buffet. Cash only.
I still don’t understand what the big deal is. Guess, it is the same Bradentown Enigma as Nam Fong.
