We ordered a salad, one cocktail and a chicken sausage pizza. The pizza came with no sausage, we complained and the manager came out and said she would bring us a bowl of sausage. We were stunned as we sat for 10 minutes watching out pizza get cold. Our "bowl" of sausage arrived as we were eating the last piece of pizza.suz112258@aol.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364071286540502118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2673674282167940404.post-74447435968517210292010-12-04T17:13:34.802-06:002010-12-04T17:13:34.802-06:00John -- I hadn't read the ST article until now...John -- I hadn't read the ST article until now. Thanks.<br /><br />I am going to try the pasta dish sometime. Like you, I prefer the New York style pizza, and the good, crispy pepperoni.<br /><br />I think FSP will find a market here for its style of pizza and atmosphere. <br /><br />And I doubt the owners will lose any sleep that I am not a part of that market.

We've eaten at FSP on a Friday, a Saturday and on a Tuesday night. The visits have ranged from the second week it opened to the week of Thanksgiving. The service has been consistently mediocre no matter where we sat.

They both seem to have had a rather intense reaction to this review- maybe it is personal? Secondly, my husband and I went here the first weekend it opened and it was good pizza. We had a hard time shelling out 13 or $14 for salad and the appetizers looked ok but were pricey.

To all readers reading the Star Telegram, please don't let this cheapskate, bitter writer rob you of a wonderful dining experience. Mistakes are going to happen everywhere, you're a fool to expect an error free restaurant experience anywhere. As far as pricing is concerned I find the menu to be incredibly reasonable.

I was one of the first to visit and would no consider myself a regular. Fireside has a great atmosphere with an upscale vibe that centers completely around the kitchen. The menu is different from the Dallas Fireside, but that is what is so great about it. It just isn'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
