Featured on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and winner of Fargo Monthly’s Flavor Awards, Blackbird Woodfire has transformed downtown Fargo into a destination for artisan wood-fired pizza in Fargo. 🍕

How Blackbird Woodfire won Fargo’s hearts
The journey to becoming Fargo’s premier pizza destination began with a love for the region and dedication to showcasing North Dakota’s agricultural heritage.
When Blackbird Woodfire opened in downtown Fargo, the family-run establishment brought something genuinely unique to the area—artisan wood-fired pizzas made exclusively with local high-protein spring wheat. 🌟
Years of testing went into refining the pizza dough recipe, establishing a foundation that would perfectly balance innovative toppings with traditional technique.
What truly captured hearts was the restaurant’s willingness to create unexpected flavor combinations that sounded bizarre but tasted phenomenal.
The Sausage Apple Pizza, featuring Béchamel cream sauce, house-made fennel-spiced sausage, Granny Smith apples, fresh sage, parmesan, and micro-greens, became so legendary that Guy Fieri featured it on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. ✨
Fieri’s reaction—yelling “Flavortown” with every bite—perfectly captured what locals already knew about this award-winning pizza in North Dakota.
The open kitchen concept allowed diners to watch pizzas being crafted and fired, creating entertainment alongside exceptional food. 🔥
The combination of Dakota-made ingredients, creative gourmet pizza offerings, award-winning recipes, Guy Fieri’s endorsement, efficient service, and genuine community spirit transformed Blackbird Woodfire from a new restaurant into a Fargo institution that locals and tourists alike seek out. 🎯
