This is a nice little restaurant in the Metreon food court. It is not a full service place and you have to bus your own table. The pasta and pizza are good.

I first emailed the owners about their reasoning of silverware not being in wrap or instead in a basket where everyone's hands reached in to pick up a utinsil. They ignored my email. It's flu season. There's a open basket where reuseable silverware is there for the taking (this is a semi fast food self serve restaurant) and EVERYONE reaches in this basket with their hands. You order yourself fast-food style forming a line and then take a table. Food is later delivered. Bring your own water as none is offered. Wine prices were stiff at $7.00 to 9.50 a glass for a very small pour. Pizza was good. Pasta's were weak. As long as you don't mind paying restaurant prices for a no-service semi fast food restaurant, FIREWOOD will work for you.

Nice atmosphere. Prices are within reason and the pizza...well, technically this is pretty good pizza but it's the kind that's so thin it's almost into matzoh cracker territory and some people don't care for that. I don't mind the style but it's not particularly filling and makes this pizza more of an appetizer than a meal. The sauces and toppings are okay but not soul-thrilling or innovative. This is mall food and for that it's not bad. I did order a vegetarian tortellini that turned out to be inedible balls of not-quite-cooked vegetable paste in doughy casings. It was in a passable marinara sauce but even the sauce could not hide the structural failure of these tortellini. Mushy and underdone. Stick with the pizza. The kid's portion pizza is excellent. Our 5 yo gobbled it up and (owing to the thinness of this pizza) started in on her parent's food. The service was fine. Cafeteria style, self-seating. They accepted my rejection of the mushy tortellini and brought me a pizza margherita I ate and enjoyed. So to sum up: Thin to insubstantial but reasonably tasty pizza crackerlettes running at about $8.95 each. Useful as a snack but you will be hungry again within 2 hours.

I always get their lasagna, and I really enjoy this place. It's relatively inexpensive - lasagna is $10 - and it's a nice place to eat before a movie or shopping in the area. Service is friendly and the ambience is bright. After having mediocre Thai food in the new Westfield, I am super happy that this place is in the Metreon (and cheaper, too, it seems - for the quality of food). Pros: Good Italian Food Near Powell Street Cons: Could Use More Table Service

The Metreon features some fairly high-end stores and their food court suits the overall quality of the place nicely. Our salads were really decent though I had to retreive more iced tea for us. My girlfriend's sandwhich was a bit dry but this was solved by adding extra dressing. They'd get a higher score from me if we ever had table service. Pros: Good food Cons: bad service

Probably the best food that you'll get in a foodcourt and with its location why wouldn't you grab some grub before or after a movie. The food is consistent and is delivered to your table fast. The entrees are a good portion and tasty. Try the baked rigatoni and a side of roasted red peppers. Pros: fast service, location, parking

Firewood has great salads and pizza for a good value - Split one of each with a friend or go for the side salads and pizza. Sometimes the pasta can be pretty salty (like the mac n' cheese - yes they will give it to you even if you aren't a kid!). The chicken and roasted potatoes are tasty as well. Beware if there is a convention - the Metreon can be quite crowded. Pros: Good Food, Reasonably priced, Quick Service Cons: Can be crowded
