Soul On Fire Brick Oven Pizza - Lorain

First of all, I would like to say that this is not a bad pizza at all. it is more than halfway decent and probably deserves more than two stars (but not more than three.) but now, at this moment? now I feel like I had been the victim of a false advertising. this pizza is wood-fired in the perfunctory sense of the word. Actually, if I had not seen it bake for myself, I would not have believed it. I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's a gas-fired pizza. the texture of the teigs is wrong. there are certain asspects that you expect when ordering an authentic wood-fired pizza. the dough should be thin and crispy, but plicatable, and the crust and upper tips of the toppings should be easily carburized. the crust should break something like a baguette and the cheese should streecccchhhhh when they pull a piece away from the others. this pizza is like eating cake and the cheese refuses to stay on the cake. Never before have I eaten in my life a slice of wood-fired pizza with a fork. I had no choice today. they also call this a new yorker pizza, which it is certainly not. this is far closer to Detroit-style pizza than anything else. the pizza in new yorker style is very thin, light limp and light on the toppings. it is designed to be folded over and eat with a hand if necessary. it won't let you sleep either. this is the kind of pizza that will make me take a three-hour nip and wake up after I have eaten it and much luck to fold a piece of it in the half without pizzying over the wrists. If I only knew what kind of pizza I was going into here, I probably wouldn't have met this special choice this afternoon. I would have waited for another time, another mood. but I was deceived.

Soul On Fire brick oven pizza is located in the same parking lot as Family Dollar store, on the right. Plenty of parking. Wheelchair accessible from parking lot. Dining area outside and inside. Clean restrooms. Brick oven was brought over from Italy and then assembled. You can actually see the pizzas being cooked inside. When you dine in allow for 25 mins for your pizzas to be made. Pizzas made with homemade dough, fresh veggies and meat. I suggest the Vodka and Meat Lovers pizza. Refer to menu for various options. They also cater private and corporate parties as well.

What a treasure to find!!!! I would without a doubt rank this establishment the BEST in lorain county. Very welcoming when I came and picked up my pizza and the owner took a moment to come out to thank me for ordering. These types of places are the ones I love to contribute to! Friendly staff, amazing pizza! Get the hawian pizza, you won't be disappointed ?

I will admit... I have a weakness for Napali style pizza. My recent visit to Soul On Fire pizza made me ecstatic that there is a nearish place that almost exactly captures what is a Napali pie. What, you may ask, is this mythical pie from the land. of Napali? Specifically, its a pie made with a certain type of dough and super fresh toppings. Most average 12 in diameter. Then it is baked in a wood fired stone oven in about 90 seconds. During that time the baker uses the peel (the giant pizza spatula) to nearly continually turn the pie on the stone to ensure even baking. The result is a crust reminiscent of naan. Bubbly and crunchy and chewy with the occasional blackend bit that has the toppings super hot and bubbly. It is not like any pie made on a conveyor chain or flat oven. No two are the same. Soul On Fire captures the essence of this style pizza with a few non traditional twists: 1. Gas fire. I will grant that this is vastly simpler than locating and using wood properly. Also cleaner overall. But... the wood imparted a touch of flavor that the sterile gas does not. 2. Rotating pizza stone... The floor of their oven turns to expose unexpose the pie to the direct heat. This eliminates the need for a skilled peel weilder. Any boob can plop the pie on the stone and wait the requisite number of laps with a turn at some point. 3. Temperature. We watched many pies being made and the fire must just not be as hot as the traditional oven. 4 8 minutes bakimg time. Now, don't get me wrong! This place makes a GREAT pizza. It is as close as we can get in this neck of the woods to the real deal. I super ultra recommend this pizza!!! It is superior to anything in our area (North Ohio, from Toledo to Youngstown) When you go, get a 12 for IMHO more traditional portions and bake. Get a few... You should go here. Seriously. Your mileage may vary.

I haven’t had “real pizza” in about 9 months due to a dairy sensitivity. I ordered their Hawaiian pizza with vegan cheese and holy **** it was awesome!!! We will definitely be ordering from here again ?
