Michelle Fielding takes to the table and dines at Dickson favourite, Firestone Pizzeria.
Feel like a pizza tonight? Why not try something different from Dickson and choose between 23 varieties of wood fired pizza from Firestone. Described as being ‘cheap and cheerful eats’ by husband and wife owners Scott and Jenny, Firestone however, is not just about making great pizza.
“Even though we are called Firestone Pizzeria, we were uncertain at first whether to include ‘Pizzeria’ in the name.. We didn’t want to give the wrong impression of doing only pizzas. We have 23 different pizzas on our menu, an extensive tapas menu, and other mains besides pizza and pasta, such as risottos, steaks, chicken breast and salmon,” Jenny said.
Other mains sure to take the fancy of even the fussiest eater include the sumptuous roast pumpkin, baby spinach, mascarpone and caramelised onion risotto.
For those who are game; gnocchi with braised rabbit and porcini mushroom cream is a delight. The earthy porcini mushrooms are tossed in a rich cream sauce, and contrasted with the tender rabbit meat, blend together masterly with the fresh, plump gnocchi.
And a must try tapas plate of crumb fried gorgonzola with roast pumpkin parfait. Bursting with cheesy goodness, the contents of the fried gorgonzola, spill out onto the plate. Coupled with the pumpkin parfait, the salt from the cheese and the sweet pumpkin are eaten with a freshly toasted, crispy crostini.
Open as well to those who just want coffee, take a glimpse at the dessert menu and have Matt, Manager and Barista whip you up one of his famous coffees.
For lovers of all things sugary, definitely leave room to try one of their sweet pizzas. Combinations of triple chocolate and hazelnut calzone or strawberry, marshmallow and white chocolate are just a couple to choose from. But whatever you do, don’t knock it till you try it!
