Allegrezza’s Orbit Fire Pizzeria

We were looking for a non-​fast food restaurant near the Boise airport, and we were glad to have found this place! The service was prompt and attentive. The owner was very friendly and descriptive about the dishes. We ordered the Emily Jolie’s pizza and lasagna. They were both very good. My husband said his lasagna was rich, meaty, without being greasy. The prices were quite reasonable, especially with the quality of the dishes.

Delicious Italian food for a good price. Big portions for the price. Definitely, try the cinnamon rolls they melt in your mouth.

One. Of. The. Best. Pizzas. I’ve. Ever. Put. In. My. Mouth. Seriously. Boyfriend wanted to try restaurant after passing it several times. We were met with quick and friendly service and asked to try there «Million Dollar Pizza». Salads were brought quickly and I really enjoyed how they use a fresh spring mix for their base. Pizza came out just as we finished our salads with perfect timing. Presentation was unbelievable. Taste was even better. The raspberry chipolte drissle was savory and added nice flavor to the cream cheese and four cheese blend. Can’t wait to try their other pizzas. Will return and bring friends and family!

This place is a mess… we came in when they first opened a few months ago it was build your own. You could walk through the line and pick your toppings and it was out of the oven in under 2 minutes. We were regulars; we came in today new staff we were not greeted or directed anywhere. The young gal didn’t greet us actually got mad and said this isn’t how our restaurant works when we tried to do a build your own pizza. She left talking to us and went to other people in the dining room completely ignoring us. She comes back angry and frustrated with us says I can’t make your pizza you have to wait. She made my friends pizza and asked me if I wanted to order a pizza; she said we need to sit down and order that’s how this restaurant works very annoyed my friend wanted to select his pizza toppings. I wanted spaghetti so I sat down waited for her to come take my order she never did. The owner who I will say is super nice came over after 15 minutes and asked how our food is; I told him I never had my order taken. The girl proceeds to argue with me the customer from across the dining room. I mean really arguing with the customer-​seriously-​She said I asked you. I said I didn’t want pizza and you didn’t ask me I I wanted something else or even come to the table to check on me. The owner took my order; she comes over to the table and literally says «are ready to order now?» in a very flippant tone. Wow absolutely no customer service everyone is running around and has little clue what they are doing. The pizza and pasta are excellent but customer service is my 1 star; lack of cohesiveness/​organization totally ruins whatever good food they can serve you.
Good: owner is super friendly guy; actually did the right thing gave me my meal for free. I have to say the spaghetti was super tasty very meaty and lots of flavor. You get a lot of food here; it’s very fresh and the prices are pretty reasonable plus it’s fast perfect for lunch. If only they could work out some of the food service kinks and hire a girl that possesses excellent customer service skills this would be a 5 star!

It seems the owners figured they could easily ride on the coat-​tails of the successful, former establishment, Cassanova, if they could master a good crust. Okay, A+ for sussing that out – or should I say, «two gold stars?» Once that was in the back pocket, I don’t think they had a clue about how to grab for the remaining stars, so they decided to copy a semi-​successful Seattle-​based chain, MOD, which features an ingredient bar where one can have a «custom» pizza built behind a giant glass counter (just like Chipotle!) under beaming lights, and finish it with some «nouveau» flare using bottled dressings and sauces (_​chipotle_​raspberry, coincidence?). They can’t even figure out what to call the place. Is it Orbit-​Fire, or is it Allegrezza’s? There are two websites, even, with the former still «under construction.» And speaking of the website, why does it feature pizzas that they don’t even make, with ingredients better than theirs, and a dining room from who knows where? I’d love to have one of those Italian arugula-​coated jobs (didn’t Cassanovas feature that?) and sit in the nicely-​appointed seating, featured, listening to some live jazz.
Well, you can probably guess that with such an uninspired business model and stock photos, that what sits on top of that lovely crust would be similarly uninspiring. And you’re right. As Twosox S. has already pointed out in his Unilocal review, all of the toppings come pre-​processed, cut and bagged. Those perfect little balls of TVP-​enriched pork sausage are a dead give-​away. I won’t go on.
This is home-​town pizza with that bagged and corporate feel. So sad. I won’t go on. Nor back, even though I dig the crust. Well, maybe if they remodel and start sourcing some quality toppings without the «flare.»

Amazing pizza, amazing service. Definitely a must eat. By far one of the best pizza places I have ever eaten. Definitely a place I will come to many times.

The food was amazing! We had the lasagna, which had tender homemade noodles and delicious sauce. We tried three pizzas, each was unique and had delicate flavors. The artichoke of doom was really yummy. My daughters especially liked the Emily Jolie, which was vegetarian for our oldest. The third pizza had this drizzle of pesto on the top and it was not over done. The best part of our dinner was talking with the owner, Tom. To hear him talk about his food and recipes with such passion had me sold on this place right away. To hear him talk about his family recipes was lovely, you could feel his emotional connection to his food. At the end of the night, he brought out a dessert pizza for our girls, which was delicious! We will not get pizza anywhere else from now on. Oh yeah and they are extremely affordable! Try them if you haven’t!

Great service from Sophie, nice chat with Tom the owner and really tasty salad and pizza. All is right with Friday night!

Fast Food Atmosphere
I came in at 12:30 pm on a weekday to find the place nearly empty. I live nearby and honestly, most days this place is empty. The deli style is counter is off-​putting unless you like Murphy’s pizza (takeout). For a sit-​down restaurant, I don’t want the assembly-​line feel of moving down the glass counter to the cash register. I can go to Subway for that.
I don’t know how this place stays in business. Perhaps Casanova’s loyal fans are boycotting this joint – with negative rumors circulating around the Bench. The owner changed the name from Orbit Pizza to Allegrezza’s to perhaps add authenticity? Ho hum. At any rate, I decided to try an Italian salad and The Herd Pizza.
The Italian salad was small for what you pay for. Some packaged lettuce, spinach leaves and onions thrown together with some slices of salami on top. SMALL, PLAIN, not that great.
Oh…I long for the days when Casanova’s pizza was in this place. The salads were huge, delicious and left me wanting more. Lettuce is not that expensive, FYI.
The pizza had a nice crispy crust. It was only in the oven for around ten minutes so the topics could warm up and cheese melt. It was above average, I’d say. The pizza was large enough for two people to enjoy and not get too full.
Most of my complaint has to do with the setting and assembly-​line feel as I stated earlier. If that doesn’t bother you, then go there and order pizza. By-​pass the salad.

Million dollar pizza is to die for! They use quality ingredients and not a bad price!

Similar concept to MOD Pizza, which is a good thing, I only mention that if you looking for a similar experience.
Reasonably priced and absolutely delicious.
Friendly staff is willing to construct your pizza creation with minutes, seriously minutes.
Pizzas are 12″ personal style so you can get a mix and share if you like.
Give it a go.
BTW — the fluorescent lights aren’t that bad as another review commented; It’s about the pizza not the lighting.

I had the lasagna to go, it was OK, the SUGO (Sauce) was a little sweeter than I like. Nothing Extraordinary. Enough for 2 meals. I will try the pizza next time.

Let me start by saying, THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. My boyfriend and I have driven by for months saying time and time again, «We have to try this place!» So finally tonight we stopped. A little deterred because of the exterior, we walked in to a very, very clean environment; lots of open space as well. We were greeted by a handsome gentleman, shirt tucked in & a nice pair of pants on. I told him I had never been in before, and he guided us through the menu and explains everything. The prices are cheap, we got two personal sized pizza (8−12inches) for $ 16.01. AMAZING deal. They prepped and made all the food in front of us, we ordered it to go, and while we were waiting he asked us if he could get us a water or anything to drink while we waited. Which to be honest you don’t see that often anymore.
Now to the pizza: New York style, cooked in a special oven, beautifully crispy & brown, the cheese was melted perfectly, bacon glazed and delicious, spicy, but yummy, with a tad of sweetness (I got the million dollar pizza). It was PERFECT. I hadn’t had a pizza this good in such a long time.
The customer service was awesome, the service was genuine, the environment was beyond clean, and the food is excellent! I would highly recommend this to anyone.

*Review only pertains to the service and ambiance. We didn’t have an opportunity to sample the food.*
We arrived yesterday evening around 6 P.M. There was one other table in the restaurant with patrons at it, and two people sitting at the bar. We were instructed to sit wherever we would like, and we ended up choosing a booth by the windows. We then proceeded to wait a little over 10 minutes before anybody acknowledged that we were there. No water, we had to grab our own menus, nobody would even make eye-​contact with us.
The restaurant is clean. Very, very clean. Sterile. Personally, I enjoy my pizza joints to have a warm, inviting feel to them. This restaurant has powerful (and numerous) fluorescent light ballasts running the length of the entire restaurant. It has the feel of a corporate cafeteria. If you like to drink beer and eat pizza beneath the blue/​white glow of T-​12 bulbs, then this is your place.
It’s unfortunate that so much work was done to improve the usability and size of the former home of Casanova, only to replace it with deplorable ambiance and inattentive service. We’ll give this place another go in a few months.

Such a tender and wonderfully flavored crust. I was a fan of Casanova but I really enjoyed Orbit! Our service was great and the Cesar salad was large with incredibly tender, moist and fresh chicken. Will definitely be back to try all the other unique pizzas.

What a beautiful bright and clean place! The pizza was fast and wonderful! Love the fresh options and ability to make what ever you want! Can’t wait to go back and try pasta and have a glass wine or a beer! Watching the spinning fired oven is pretty cool too!

Very good, I love the light flaky crust that their pizzas have. They have a slightly chewy quality. All the pizzas were very good, but they were not excellent. Gone are the days of the large variety of options that the former restaurant (Casanova) once offered. I came in looking for a medusa with the savory, sweet, tangy quality and overall was not overly impressed with the menu. The interior has been redone and has a modern quality feel to it, but I’m not sure if they’re trying now to be a quick-​serve restaurant with a dining room or a sit-​down restaurant with table service. I miss the charm and intimate atmosphere of the former restaurant.

Wow is all I can say. fresh ingredients fast service and a killer good price So we order out pizza and i watch them put it together they throw it in this big red round oven and I’m not kidding in 2 min your pizza in done ready to eat!!! I was worried that this place wasn’t going to compete with the last pizza place that was there but now I know this place is a keeper. The only thing is I wish the outside had a better sign it’s hard to even know the place exists. But I will return and spread the word of this new joint. Rock on orbit!!!
Back again. 2^nd visit great these guys rock.

Oh my goodness. The care this gentleman took to explain the menu, the dough, and the sauce. The meat in the sauce held together the thick slices of ravioli like a honey comb. Uuuugh yes.

Well, it’s hard to compete with the old establishment, Casanova’s; but the owner, Tom, has really worked hard to provide a great eating establishment in its place. (And frankly, the previous owners have no one to blame but themselves for not having their lease renewed).
The Million Dollar Pizza is fantastic, and the other pizzas we had were definitely good!
The food is 5 stars. The service was more like 3 stars. But I suspect that will improve over time!
I’d recommend it. It’s not Casanova’s, but if you can get past that, it’s a great option!
