A Family Tradition, Fresh Ingredients, and Wood-Fired Perfection
Since 1989, The Firewood Cafe has been a beloved neighbourhood staple in Mount Pleasant and beyond. We're a family-owned and operated restaurant with a passion for crafting delicious pizzas, pastas, and other Italian delights.
Our pizzas are the crown jewel of our menu. Crafted in our hand-tossed, wood-fired oven, each pizza is a culinary masterpiece. We use only the freshest and highest quality ingredients, ensuring a unique flavor and texture that sets our pizzas apart.
What Sets Us Apart?
- Wood-fired perfection: Our pizzas are baked in a traditional firewood-burning oven, giving them a distinct smoky flavor and a crispy, slightly charred crust.
- Freshness guaranteed: We source our ingredients from trusted local suppliers, ensuring that our dishes are bursting with freshness and flavor.
- Warm and welcoming atmosphere: Step into our cozy restaurant and experience the warm hospitality of our friendly staff.
- Family values: We take pride in treating our guests like family, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for everyone.
Beyond Pizza: A Menu for All Tastes
While our pizzas are truly special, we also offer a delectable selection of pastas, appetizers, and other tempting treats. From classic Caesar salad to creamy garlic bread and mouthwatering BBQ Chicken Linguini, there's something for everyone.
