Catch-A-Fire PIzza

We had Catch-​A-​Fire pizza at our first trip to MadTree this weekend on Saturday and we had to go back on Sunday for more pizza (and some beers of course). I don’t write a lot of reviews on Unilocal but I had to write this one because that is some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. We got the Rock the Goat one and the Pesto one without meat. Some other people in our group got this special Chicken Pot Pie one and the Buffalo Chicken one which were also delicious. The service was friendly and quick, the crust was perfect and not burnt at all, and the ingredients were so flavorful and fresh. I appreciated that the pizza wasn’t greasy at all. It’s not too expensive, especially considering the quality and the convenience of being right there while you are enjoying your pint of PsycHOPathy :)

This pizza is one of (if not) my favorite pizza in Cinci. My favorite part is now they are permanently in Madtree now! The combination of these two together can’t get much better. The pizza crust is real thin and has that flavor of the firebrick cooking technique. My personal favorite is, the basic, Three Little Pigs. Three meat yummy goodness that I always don’t want to end. I have tried several other flavors but always find myself wanting Three Little Pigs. The staff is typically really cool and friendly. Just overall a great team of people that are going places. My only complaint is the price of the pizza is pricy for the size, which I was able to be ok with but then they increased the price. Obviously I’ll still eat there but they are getting close to turning me away if they do another increase. I’m not willing to pay more money because they are becoming a trendy place to eat.

The seasonal Oktoberfest and Fall Harvest pizzas were fabulous. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

Catch-​A-​Fire was the food truck of the night at MadTree when I was there for a work event last week. A co-​worker and I split the Knotty Dough (mini cheese stuffed breadsticks) and Fire Bites (stuffed peppadew peppers). I would definitely get the Fire Bites again, but not the Knotty Dough.
My absolute favorite thing was the Buffalo Solider, a buffalo chicken pizza. OH MY GOODNESS was it absolutely delicious. One of the best buffalo chicken pizzas I have ever had.
Overall, a decent pizza place and a good option for snacking while enjoying a few brews!

Nothing goes more perfectly with MadTree beer than Catch-​A-​Fire Pizza. There designated space in MadTree is genius.
A coworker of mine bought a large half Three Little Pigs (Meat Pizza) and Buffalo Soldier (Buffalo Chicken Pizza). I happily grabbed a slice of the meat pizza and it was incredibly tasty. The crust was thin and cooked to perfection. Wood firing has to be my favorite way to cook a pizza and they executed it beautifully.
I split Fire Bites (peppadew peppers filled with Italian sausage, basil & goat cheese) and Irie Boboli (four cheeses stuffed into hand-​stretched dough served with traditional red sauce) with a friend. Loved the fire bites, fresh tasting and delicious. The Pirie boboli was just okay, the red sauce served with was thin and a tad watery.
Ordering was incredibly easy and they text you when the food was ready. I’d gladly recommend Catch-​A-​Fire Pizza to any patron of MadTree Brewing Company. I look forward to trying more varieties of pizza and appetizers.

Catch-​a-​Fire is becoming my new favorite pizza in Cincinnati. I live really close to MadTree and get my growlers filled there pretty regularly, so I’m constantly having to force myself to not buy food every single time I go. The pizza is amazing. Nice crispy and chewy thin crust. Good sauce and lots of cheese. My go to is the plain cheese pizza, which is my favorite cheese pizza by far. I have only had one other pizza besides the plain cheese, and that was a daily special, which was a chicken parm pizza with a tomato sauce made with their smoked beer and fresh mozz. It was insanely good. I have tried their garlic knots, which were pretty good. The pretzels and beer cheese was really damn good, although the pretzel wasn’t really pretzel-​ly, it was more of a bread stick. The beer cheese was great though. Also the wings are really good. If you have never had wings out of a wood fire oven, then you are missing out. I love that two of their sauces are made with MadTree beers. To make a great place better, the prices are not bad at all, you could easily feed a bunch of people for fairly cheap.
I could honestly come here every week to get great beer and kick ass pizza and never get bored of it.

Absolutely delicious, quick, and affordable. It’s pizza yall, but really really damn good.

They know how to do vegan pizza right! Their mushroom pizza. Divine. Also got garlic knots without butter and it was still tasty! Love that they have a permanent location in Madtree now.

This is quality pizza, especially for being out of a food truck! Really nice, crispy thin crust and very fresh ingredients. Your pizza comes with fresh hot cheesy bread balls and marinara sauce– mm! The salads are tasty and fresh, too. Good price point for the quality. You’ll probably have to wait a bit since they are making the pizzas to order but you’ll be happy with it. Glad they hang out by Madtree– good combo for a casual night out.

My previous review was for my experiences with Catch-​A-​Fire as an individual patron walking up to the food truck on my own two feet. I wanted to update my review to talk about their excellent catering service!
My husband and I had Catch-​A-​Fire cater our rehearsal dinner, and they did an excellent job. Catch-A-Fire’s catering service is not just pizza — they do appetizers and desserts too! We had a plethora of appetizers — scallops, shrimp, roasted cauliflower and other roasted veggies… I could go on. When it came to the main course, Pizzas just kept coming out of the truck, and they were able to offer a wide variety of pizza. They even told my father-​in-​law that if someone wanted a special order, that they would do it. For dessert, we had an assortment of panna cotta. After the meal, we wanted to take pictures with the truck, and even though the staff was there later than they expected to be, they were happy to let us do this.
Everything was absolutely excellent — the food and service. I would not hesitate to recommended Catch-​A-​Fire for catering.

Beautifully executed buffalo chicken pizza. The fresh celery on top worked wonders with the rest of the flavors. The textures also combined quite well, which is rare for a chicken pizza with a super crunchy topping and sauce drizzle. The crust was amazing as well which was a pleasant surprise from an oven in a food truck. This is wifey’s favorite pizza and she is incredibly hard to please when it comes to pizza.

The pizza was fantastic. This might be the best pizza that I have had in the city. The crust was the perfect texture. We had the buffalo chicken pizza. The flavors we bold but not overpowering. Everything that I saw looked delicious. It was raining and there was still a long line. We will definitely track down this truck again.

So we were standing inside Mad River Brewery last night sampling the goods when suddenly we all realized they didn’t serve any food there. And so the slow march toward starvation began.
The only solution was to continue drinking and/​or cannibalism… until we bumped into someone with a pizza box that smelled like it contained the food of the Gods inside. «Hey were did you get that?» «Food truck right outside the side door» So out in the subzero windchill and snow I went in search of food.
Within 10 minutes (and for 10 $) I had a meat lovers pizza. 4 large slices loaded to the brim with various steaming meats. Not going to lie that first bite was like a carnivore’s wet dream. Indescribably good. It may have saved our lives that night who knows?
Whenever I see this food truck I’ll be sure to grab a pie.

In addition to trying Red Sesame at the Cincinnati Street Food Festival, I also had my first experience with Catch-​A-​Fire Pizza. The truck itself is a pretty amazing sight! There are flames painted on the outside of it and real flames are contained inside the truck in a Mugnaini wood fired oven.
I ordered a slice of the Jammin’ Jerk Chicken pizza with their signature jerk sauce, red onion, spiced chicken, bell peppers, four cheeses, and topped with sweet potato chips. I guess this is a specialty item right now, though they are considering adding it to the full menu. I haven’t had any of their other offerings, but this slice of pizza is definitely worthy of being on a permanent menu.
The crust was perfectly wood fired with a crisp outside but still chewy on the inside, which I’m assuming would be true for any of their offerings. The toppings were plentiful and tasted great together. I’m not entirely sold on the sweet potato chips on top, as they add a weird crunchy texture to the pizza, but they are easy to remove for anyone who agrees with me. Overall Catch-​A-​Fire pizza is a welcome addition to the Cincinnati food truck scene.

For my first visit here I had to wait about 45 minutes because if a mess up with my order. I felt a little annoyed, but the way they handled it made me happy. I got free knotty bread and free dessert — which was phenomenal by the way. I thought they were quite generous for this.
As for the pizza I had the Mr. Brown mushroom pizza. It was fantastic! I live wood fired pizza. And they do not skimp on the toppings. This thing is loaded with delicious mushrooms. It’s a good sized pizza too with 4 pretty big pieces. So for $ 9 I felt like I got money’s worth for that pizza.
Next time I visit them I’ll call ahead. And I will definitely visit them again.

Good Pizza and I love the mushrooms. I am a huge fan of the Panna Cotta. I look forward to them coming to my works complex to try the new flavors they create. They are also really friendly with good service!

Catch-A-Fire’s truck is definitely impressive. A wood fired oven directly inside the truck??? Crazy!
In terms of their food, the pizza is pretty tasty. I had one with jalapenos on it thinking it’d be just a medium level of spiciness, and my mouth was on fire! A pleasant (and spicy) surprise! I would have liked a little more gooey-​cheesy deliciousness on it, but that’s just a personal preference. I’m a cheese addict. Overall, not bad!
