Firefly Wood Fired Cuisine offers hand-made, organic pizzas with a secret dough recipe that requires a 48-hour fermentation, adding depth to the flavor. From the traditional Margherita to the new-school Fungi, Mark seeks to integrate old-style recipes with innovative flavors and ingredients.

Firefly sets up shop at 11 a.m. on Mondays and 4 p.m. on Thursdays. They also serve pizza at Bone Haus Brewery from time to time. More information about Firefly and a schedule of events can be found online at fireflycuisine.com.
