A deep and lasting interest in baking was inspired by a traditional grandmother who seemed to conjure up the most delightful treats without written recipes.  Many years later this passion for artisan baking became a quest to bake a great loaf of rye bread.  The art, science, and genuine magic of wood fired baking truly grabbed us and led to a pursuit of breads and pizzas with more complex flavors and sourdough cultures.  An interest in wood fired ovens was a natural progression of our passion for the best pizza.  We started Pizza By Fire so that we could bring our passion for the best artisan wood fired pizza to you for your special events. 

​

We make our own dough for pizza, and just about everything else from scratch.  We source the highest quality ingredients from local and domestic sources.  We continually strive to refine our menu to include foods that complement our pizza and benefit from the use of our wood fired ovens.  We are based in Portland, Maine and serve much of the state including the lakes region and the mid and southern coasts.  We specialize in catering for private parties such as weddings, rehearsals, after parties, graduations, family reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, corporate events, charity fundraisers, neighborhood block parties, morning brunches, and have been a vendor for others such as farmers markets, brew fests, art fests, sporting events, and other public events.
