I want to love Fire Works Pizza. I do. The food IS good. The place is family friendly (generally) and you can usually get in and out pretty quick. BUT do not expect them to make any kind of adjustment to the way they cook the food. And I'm not saying unreasonable adjustments, I'm talking any adjustment. We used to go to Fire Works Pizza every other Friday. My son is lactose intolerant and so we would order a gluten free pizza with "light cheese." That's the only tweak we made to a gluten free, pepperoni pizza. And every time, it came out with a very normal amount of cheese. We watched to see if the wait staff were putting in the request and they were. It wasn't the wait staff's fault. It was the kitchen. I also used to get a steak fajita salad. It's delicious and very close to being one of my favorite salads at a restaurant. Every time they would ask me how I would like the steak cooked, I would ask for Medium and clarify that it's because I was giving my 1 year old daughter some steak and she can't yet have undercooked food. Every single time, it came out VERY medium rare. I mean, pretty rare for this steak-loving Texan who would otherwise never order a steak done medium. Why ask if the kitchen is going to do whatever they want anyways? So we stopped going. It just wasn't worth the hassle of pulling cheese off of a pizza and trying to cut the cooked parts of a steak for my daughter to eat. We would both walk away still hungry. Is the food good? Yep. If you order exactly what they have exactly as they want to make it. Is the service good? Wait staff is great. Will we go back? Nope. And that's unfortunate. But maybe other people are experiencing the same and that's why it was slow all the time. Who knows.

Great good and service, but the main reason we came was because my niece is gluten free and they have a gluten free menu here. Plenty of delicious options, and she was very impressed, so that means I was impressed!

I am a regular Korean BBQ eater. Maybe it's not entirely fair to compare Japanese BBQ to Korean, I know different countries entirely, however, being in Northern Virginia it is hard not to compare a similar concept to KBBQ. The atmosphere is great, the meat was delicious, the sides lacked any flavor because they were just regular veggies (corn, not cheese corn, zucchini and cremini mushrooms), it came with a salad and miso that were flavorful. We ordered the value meal for 2 people with one cocktail $14 and a diet coke the total was $106, after tipping 22% I spent $130.. The meat was perfectly marinated and the quality was high, however the portions were insanely SMALL. I left hungry and wishing I went to Kbbq instead but it was an experience. I also noticed all the marinades and sauces were sweet- the sauces on the table were Ponzu, Sweet Soy Sauce and a Spicy Sauce that was also sweet, I found myself wishing for a more savory sauce to balance out all the sweetness. Our server was super friendly and attentive. For example I had taken the lemon from my gfs cocktail and put it in my diet coke, our server noticed and without me saying anything brought me a refill diet coke with a lemon (this didn't go unnoticed!). I personally don't see myself coming back but glad I gave it a try. Oh and I will add that everything we ordered was gluten and dairy free naturally so that was a huge plus.

I went into this TrueFood with my dad and we had a wonderful experience! Our server, Henry, was very attentive and very accommodating to my gluten allergy! He provided wonderful substitutes :). I have been recommending this restaurant to all of my family and friends. If you get Henry as your server, you will 100% have a wonderful dining experience!
