Review of fire + wine

Great GF pizza crust. They ask if your GF order is an allergy or a dietary choice. Answer determines oven used and maybe some other cross contamination changes.

Pizzas are thin crust and more artisan than a typical pizza place. Topping combinations include arugula pancetta and other interesting and all tasty combinations. The options change seasonally.

GF pasta was a big miss when ordered. (Since we almost always get pizza, we did not try GF pasta until about our 15th visit.) So odd that the pasta was so bad. Since everything else on menu is great, I asked for a sample of GF pasta last time I was there. I explained that I guessed the last pasta was a fluke. Turns out it was. The GF pasta was very good. So if yours is not great, send it back because someone forgot to adjust cooking times.

This a a frequently visited place for us because it is fun, lively, has great GF options and is loved by non-GFers too. Be prepared to wait on weekends and even during the week. Must be most popular place in Glen Ellyn and is one of the only places that I will wait 45 minutes for a table in an overcrowded bar.
