RedRocks Firebrick Pizzeria features Washington’s finest firebrick pizza in the classic Neapolitan style, along with a variety of specialty salads, Italian-style sandwiches and original starter plates; all served with our fresh housed-baked bread. Our pizzas are prepared using only the best locally grown produce, fresh mozzarella, and Caputo flour, keeping with the Neapolitan pizza-making tradition. Each pizza is hand tossed, made to order in our 800 degree wood-burning brick oven. The high heat radiating from the wood fire is stored in the firebricks and radiates across the dome evenly to create the perfect pizza.
RedRocks Firebrick Pizzeria offers a full bar with a great selection of microbrew and imported beers, wines from the U.S. and abroad, and attractive drink specials throughout the week.

Our pizzas are cooked in an Authentic Italian wood-burning brick oven. We keep a small fire in the back of the dome-shaped oven that keeps temperatures near 900 degrees. The heat is stored in the firebricks and radiates across the dome evenly to create the perfect pizza.
High heat creates flavors through caramelization of sugars that are difficult, if not impossible, to create when pizza is cooked in conventional pizza ovens. High heat also creates interesting textures – it is not uncommon to find at least one flame-blackened blister on our crust.
The dough – A blend of “Caputo 00” Italian flour, known as the world's best pizza flour. We prepare our dough daily three times a day allowing the dough to rise at room temperature for 6 hours.
Tomatoes – We use 2 types of imported Italian tomatoes: San Marzano tomatoes, which are grown in the rich volcanic soil of Mt. Vesuvius, and Sinatra tomatoes.
Cheese – We use only fresh mozzarella. Our Margherita pizza features mozzarella di bufala, made from buffalo milk, a Neapolitan tradition. Some pies also feature fresh ricotta, grana parmesan, and fontina val d'aosta.
Herbs – Fresh herbs are essential in Neapolitan pizzas. Fresh basil is a required ingredient of the Pizza Margherita.
