I visited Rise Woodfire Pizza recently and had an excellent experience. I ordered the Medjool Date & Goat Cheese Pizza with an added burrata topping, along with fresh orange juice.
The pizza was absolutely delicious. The combination of sweet Medjool dates, tangy goat cheese, and creamy burrata was outstanding, and the crust was perfectly wood-fired. The portion size was generous and more than sufficient for one hungry person.
Overall, this was a highly satisfying meal, and I would definitely recommend Rise Woodfire Pizza to anyone looking for unique and flavorful wood-fired pizzas.

They have a really nice outdoor patio area, and it is great if you want to bring your dog. The cornbread was okay, nothing special. The chicken was good and nicely seasoned. The real standouts were the mac and cheese and the carne pizza. Those are the dishes I would definitely recommend. The broccolini was just okay and did not really stand out.

Got the fungi pizza to go and was pretty underwhelmed. The biggest issue for me was that it was bland. On top of that, the crust was way too chewy for my liking and for the price, I expected a lot more flavor.
I also tried the Basque style cheesecake. The texture was much lighter than I expected, more cake-like than rich and creamy. The menu mentions a lightly scorched, caramelized exterior, but mine tasted straight up burnt and tasted bitter.

Needed something new to eat since I’m in the area often, found this place and ordered the woodfire Classic Pizza, came with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom with basil on top with traditional tomatoes sauce. Food came out quickly and service was great. Was seated right away with no wait. Will definitely be adding this place to return

My husband and I had a date night here recently. Sat in the bar because the restaurant was packed. Always a good sign in my book. We had a great night and the Holiday decorations were beautiful. The bar tender, Ash was very attentive despite working the bar solo.
We laughed and chatted it up. All in all a good night.

I liked the atmosphere. The pizzas are delicious, but the meats and sauces are not very good. Steak was chewy, undercooked and not high quality at all.

Daniel and Leticia took great care of our party of 8. We had hungry little kids and adults, and they got us taken care of right away. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing.
I also want to give an extra thank you to Daniel! I was very impressed with how he handled an issue with one of our orders with urgency and professionalism.
Menu was a nice surprise. I was expecting amazing pizza but we got that and more. The prime rib was delicious as were the ribs and chicken.
I’m glad we chose Rise for our post baseball tournament. What a great experience!

Came here on a Saturday night with friends and I must say this is a very good place for wood fire pizza.
For appetizers we went with jalapeño corn bread which had the jalapeño flavor with corn and… bread. It comes with a slightly sweet honey butter which made it a sweet treat.
Next we got the Burrata + Tomatoes with Pesto which was a very refreshing treat. I’m a big fan of the pesto here and the burrata on the toast made it a nice appetizer.
For pizzas we went with margherita which was solid, just slightly wet. The sauce went all over the plate but it’s a nice subtle melody of tomato pizza with basil.
Next we got the salsiccia which was a nice savory pizza with chives and fennel seeds. We added pesto too and made for a very nice hearty pizza.
Lastly we got the calabrese + honey. I don’t really taste the honey except for on the crust so for me it wasn’t that salt and sweet pizza I was hoping to be. It was just another ham pizza at the end of the day.
For drinks, I ordered the nectar on the rise which I absolutely love. Very nice tequila with ginger beer cocktail. My friend ordered peacock daisy which didn’t have a lasting taste. It felt flat and not great.
Service isn’t too bad. We had to keep asking for water when our jar was empty. We also had to wait forever for our waiter to come get the check.
Overall, our next door table was super noisy, super belligerent because they were so inebriated. But overall without them, this place would be a chill pizzeria.

Rise Woodfire is one of those rare finds that nails both style and substance. We came on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30, and enjoyed the comforting smell of wood-fired everything in the air.
The space is surprisingly large, with a chill, breezy vibe outside and a sleek, modern feel inside. High ceilings, open kitchen, bustling bar—you can actually see the wood-fired ovens in action, which adds so much to the experience. It’s the kind of place where you instantly relax but still feel like you’re somewhere special.
We started with the creamy, garlicky hummus and warm pita, followed by bubbling hot mac and cheese, a crisp Margherita pizza, and a perfectly medium-rare side of ribeye. The salmon (ordered clean with no oil) was light, flaky, and beautifully done. The salad brought freshness and crunch, rounding everything out.
Dessert looked incredible—most are wood-fired and come warm with a scoop of ice cream—but we were too full (next time, it’s happening). Bonus points for the full bar and a rare find: Green Chartreuse.
This is a spot I’ll be recommending again and again—for the food, the vibe, and the way it all just works.
Shoutout to Rocio who was so attentive and kind and just was so patient with my picky order.

Grabbed two pizzas, a Caesar salad, and sangria with my parents here a few weeks ago and glad I stopped by. It’s definitely a more elevated sit-down pizza spot. The service was great and despite it being dinner time on a Sunday, we were seated right away.
Obviously, their highlights are the wood fire pizzas. I was a bit disappointed by the ham and pineapple one. It just felt like it was missing a little something. The margherita pizza, however, was great! Adding the little dash of crushed red peppers was perfect.
Lastly, the Caesar salad was a solid one, along with the sangria.
Overall, I would come back here but I wouldn’t go out of my way to.
