On Newport Road in Casper, Firehouse Pizza Wood Fired has built its reputation on a 1,000-degree wood-fired oven that cooks a pizza in about 90 seconds flat. 🔥
This mom-and-pop pizzeria opened in 2017 with a simple mission: source ingredients as locally as possible and give Casper genuinely made-from-scratch pizza rather than a corporate formula.
Between specialty pies inspired by Detroit-style pizza and a menu boasting over a thousand possible combinations, Firehouse has become Wyoming’s go-to answer for wood-fired pizza done right.
How Firehouse Pizza won Casper’s hearts
Firehouse Pizza Wood Fired was co-founded by Justin and Nicole Boltz, who opened the shop in 2017 after deciding Casper needed a genuinely local, made-from-scratch pizza option. 👨🍳
Justin has said the goal from day one was sourcing every ingredient as close to home as possible, “If we can’t get it in Casper, we get it in Wyoming. If we can’t get it in Wyoming, we get it within 500 miles.”
That commitment to locally sourced ingredients, paired with hand-crushed tomato sauce and made-from-scratch vodka cream and pesto sauces, quickly set Firehouse apart from chain competitors.
Casper Star Tribune readers voted Firehouse Pizza the city’s “Best Pizza” four years running, and in 2022 Justin represented Casper at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas, competing in the International Pizza Challenge against pizzerias from across the country.
The shop offers more than a thousand possible pizza combinations across its wood-fired ovens, alongside standout specialty pies like The Detroit, a rectangular, Sicilian-style pizza finished with German brick cheese and a red sauce poured on top rather than underneath.
That willingness to experiment, combined with a speedy 90-second cook time and a genuine commitment to community pride, is exactly what has made Firehouse Pizza Wood Fired one of Casper’s most beloved local businesses. 🌟
