I had the most incredible pizza at Tenderfire Kitchen — and wow… Ben, you did it.

The space is absolutely stunning — warm, welcoming, and beautifully designed. The music was so good, setting the perfect tone without overpowering the experience. And the food? Truly next-level delicious. Every bite felt thoughtful and elevated while still being comforting and fun.

The company and the overall vibe were pure perfection. There’s something really special about being able to walk to a restaurant in your own neighborhood — especially one that feels this alive and full of energy.

Midtown is up-and-coming in all the best ways, and I’m so grateful to Ben for being the first on the block to light the fire (literally ). This is how community grows — one brave, beautiful space at a time.

So proud. So excited. So here for it.

Great meal at Tender Fire! We had the carrot appetizer, with a delicious spicy chimichurri sauce, the pizzeta with carmelized onions, an enormous sausage pizza and Basque cheesecake. The service was professional but warm and friendly and the space is very attractive. I predict that Tender Fire will soon be very popular.

Tender Fire’s new brick and mortar is simply fabulous. What a game changer – the space is gorgeous, the cornbread and Caesar salad are yummy, there are wine and cocktails, and of course the pizza – the sourdough crust is light and fluffy and flavorful. Service was excellent as well. So excited that they’ve made this happen in Santa Fe and it bodes well for the whole campus revamp. Bravo!

We’ve loved Tender Fire since they first started serving beautiful pies from their mobile oven, but this takes it up a notch. First of all, excellent year round sourdough wood fired pizza in Santa Fe! Beautiful starters and salads (the carrots….mmmmm. who ever says that about carrots?) Well staffed, in a lovely space that will include outdoor seating when it’s warm. Great cocktails, wine & beer to boot. Excited for what is, and what is to come.

Stunning. This is my favorite restaurant in Santa Fe.

I came here opening weekend with my family to celebrate my nephew’s third birthday. When we walked in, I immediately felt the beauty and thoughtfulness of the space design. Open and inviting, with warmth radiating from the new staff.

We ordered a lot of food – we wanted to try as much as we could!

When I bit into my vegan pizza, I closed my eyes. You can taste the perfect complement offered by the caramelized sweetness of red onion and squash along with the with the nutty and bright pesto. My 5-year old nephew, who ordered Margherita (vegetarian, but not vegan), said quietly next to me, “This is the best pizza I’ve ever had.”

Though they just opened, they had crayons and paper for my nephews. And to celebrate my nephew’s birthday, they brought him cheesecake with a candle at the end, subtly checking with the adults at the table to make sure it was okay first.

I’m inspired by what Ben and has team have built together. It’s not only a restaurant, it already feels like a home for community in Santa Fe.

One of the best meals we’ve had in Santa Fe in a LONG time. The cornbread, carrots and salads were amazing and the pizza of course. The staff was attentive and kind and flexible with our kids. Highly recommend this for families and anyone looking for a decent meal in SF.
