"One of my biggest pet peeves is a restaurant that has too many menu items because, honestly, we all know you can't be good at making everything. Which is why Do Wood Fired works so well - they have a small menu that consists of pizza, salads, and sandwiches. That's it and it's a perfect concept. \n\nMy husband and I had lunch here today - we both got a do-wich, which is a sandwich, sort of. It was explained to us that a do-wich is an 8 inch pizza dough filled with the toppings of your choice, then folded over in a half circle. Picture a wedgie or open stromboli. Anyway, I ordered the Blackened Chicken - chicken, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and fire mayo. (They were out of cheddar cheese so I substituted provolone.) My husband order the Italian - ham, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, roasted peppers and vinaigrette. Since the sandwiches were so big, we decided to each have half. I have to say I liked the Italian better than mine, it was filled more and just had more flavor. \n\nPros? There's tons. Our server was friendly and one of the owners came over to talk to us. He was also friendly, asked where we're from, how we liked our lunch, etc. The place is clean and has a cool look - wood walls, chalk board along the bar area. They also use disposal plates and utensils, which I'm assuming helps with overhead. \n\nThe best part is the menu. I already mentioned that it isn't big, which is great, focus of a few things that you do good. Plus, you know produce is always fresh. But the very best part is this - no charge for toppings, extras, cheese, etc. The menu is a paper one, which you fill out and give to your server (think Burgatory). Anyway, for example, all salads are $9.90. You choose what vegetables you want (mushrooms, banana peppers, olives), cheese (feta, blue, cheddar), meats (pepperoni, ham, chicken, steak, anchovies), and dressing (ranch, casesar, balsamic) and it's the same price, regardless of how many things you want. So you're not paying a buck for cheese, $3 for a second meat, or what have you...which always makes me feel like I\"m being ripped off, ya know? Same goes for their pizzas. Ingenious!\n\nI would really give this place 4.5 stars. The concept is great, the menu is smart, and I love seeing small businesses work. Especially in the Irwin area, which is home to so many fast food restaurants and over-priced establishments that may work in the city, but not so much here. My only complaint was my sandwich, which simply either had too much dough or not enough filling. I ended up ripping most of the pizza dough off because it was just too much to try and eat. Regardless, I will definitely be back to try something else!"^^ . "17"^^ . .
