Description

Specialties

Amazingly authentic Chicago thin crust, deep dish and stuffed pizzas. Hand breaded buffalo wings and fresh made to order salads. We feature an extensive wine list and carry several draft and bottled beer selections. Our full bar also offers an in-​house created cocktail list that emphasizes fresh ingredients, premium liquors and unusual garnishes.

History

Established in 2003.

Chicago Fire was born of my desire to enjoy the flavors and textures unique to Chicago-​style pizza and share them with others.

I began researching and making pizza after moving out west from Chicago. Premium Wisconsin mozzarella, separate thin and deep dish dough recipes prepared daily, and a third generation sausage purveyor from Chicago – the same sausage maker that supplied the pizzerias that made Chicago pizza famous – are just a few of the examples of my commitment to quality and authenticity.

We are THE tribute to Chicago pizza!

–Eric Schnetz, CEO and Corporate Chef

Business Owner

Eric Schnetz grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. He moved out to California with his family and missed the unique style of pizza that he grew up with in Chicago. After years of owning a clutch repair chain, Schnetz realized his passion for cooking and pizza had to become more than just a hobby. An entrepreneur from the start, he sold his auto repair company and opened up the first Chicago Fire in Historic Folsom in 2003. Schnetz loves coming up with new recipes and working hands on in the restaurants. Some of Schnetz’s hobbies outside of the pizza biz include walking his german shepherd, Liesel, and fixing up his original 1976 Trans Am.

This is our favorite pizza place. After going a month with no carbs, this was our first place to visit once our month long diet ended. Our server Zach did a great job keeping our party of 11 happy. The pizza was amazing and tasted so delicious. We love the Caesar salad, boneless wings and don’t forget about the pizookie! I don’t know how we stayed away from this place for a month!

Stopped in for happy hour. Enjoyed the 2 dollar pizza slices, hot wings and a few drinks. Did their social media post for a free shirt. Customer service was excellent. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was really nice. I definitely recommend and will be back for happy hour!

Unfortunately i can not rate them a zero. The ONLY thing they have going for them is their pizza. Their service has been horrific on several occasions, non existint. We should learn our lesson to stop going. We went for lunch on a Sat, hardly anyone there. We sat for 10 mins in the bar, multiple wait staffe passed us, not one stopped. After 10 mins we walked out. Disappointed again that they can not get their stuff together. We went and spent our money elsewhere. Thank you Sam Hornes! Always great. Chicago fire you can learn a few things. Just because you are a chain doesnt mean you do not have to work at being better.

The follow up to that night was a written apology as well as a gift card for our next meal by the manager. We’ve since ordered delivery a few times and have received very good results. Pizza is outstanding.

another great experience at this location. the server, Shannon (I believe) was very friendly & hopefully. I was a tad annoying, asking for more time and extra items but she was very patient!
my boyfriend & I had the garlic buffalo wings as an appetizer & then ordered a medium half stockyard & half da spin & shrom w/​an add-​on pepporoni. personally, I think the medium size was perfect for both of us. finished both halves, wow! the pizza was delicious & crunchy! I really enjoyed the mushroom & spinach on my side & each bite had a little bit of everything. the wings on the other hand, was overly seasoned with garlic. I didn’t taste any buffalo sauce, just chunks of garlic.
I have had fantastic meals at this Chicago Fire location. I live in Elk Grove & the closest Chicago Fire to me, would be the one in downtown Sac but I would much rather drive out to this location & get better food & service than to the one in Sacramento.

This location is the best chicago fire location in my opinion. You get that authentic feeling since you’re in old town folsom. Pizza is always crispy saucey a d overall very delicous. I don’t know what it is but there sausage and crust is in my opinion the tasty part of the experience. Service has always been well since I’ve been to this establishment. Will be continuing to come back!

Great place for pizza, and Chicago deep dish? Yeah, it was a good pick. While visiting my aunt and cousin, we had one day to hang out. We came here for dinner. Still early enough that it wasn’t busy.
What we ordered:
Greek fries: more like just garlic fries. Greek fries to me would include feta cheese, olives, maybe hummus. But it was delish and we couldn’t stop eating it.
Buffelo wings 1lbs: you can actaully taste the difference. I hate buffelo flavor wings, too sauce-​y for me. But here, it was not overly dressed and just enough tang.
Spinach Salad: lightly dressed. Refreshing.
Chicken & Garlic White Pizza: Soooo good. Takes about 35 mins to cook. So deifnitely order stuff to hold you off for a while until it’s ready. We were excited to eat it that I didn’t get to take a photo of the whole pie, so there’s a slice. Loved it!
Service was great and friendly. Checked in on us generously, always smiling.
Small town in Folsom, but glad they can get a taste of Chicago pizza. They live up to the name!

My family loves Chicago Fire. We waited 45 minutes for a table and just had the best time. Our server, Melanie, was so incredible! She was so attentive, friendly and cheerful. We absolutely loved her! Amazing food. Amazing service. And I love that Chicago Fire takes its time. I really had a great time waiting with my family :) 5 stars!

Hands Down the best pizza experience on Sutter Street, I gravitate towards a good bar. The thin crispy is so bomb (good), and I didn’t want the spinach salad to end. Christina (my woman) had a top shelf Ol Fashion and Eddie (bartender) is completely engaged with his customers and knows how to pour. This place gets 5 stars straight up. ***** See you guys next time. Worth every cent.
P. S. Whoever dine and ditched that $ 150 tab while I was there will get theirs.

The first time my husband and I went here for dinner the service was very slow and it was not a busy night. We got a thin crust greek pizza and it wasn’t very good. The second time I went with a friend we waited to be seated for a few minutes and nobody helped us so we just walked over to the bar and ordered drinks. The drinks were okay but they took a long time and again it was not busy. We ended up ordering a deep dish combination pizza which tasted delicious but also took forever to get. After two negative experiences I will not be going back to this restaurant!

Yummo, yummo, yummo… This is the only location I choose to go to– the ambiance and service trump the rest. You walk in and are immediately hit with Frankie blue eyes in your ears and low lit candle light in your eyes. I always order a cocktail, salad, and a pizza. Share it with my honey. Our mood usually always dictates the cocktail… But I usually go with a vodka-​soda or old-​fashioned. Eddie (the bartender) is amazing and always warm and attentive. If you are on a date you should sit at the bar. You get the best service and get to witness all the action. Order the spinach salad (trust me). The dressing is house made and perfectly dresses the lettuce. It is also adorned with house made croutons which are extra crispy and perfectly garlicky. This time, I decided to add chicken and I’m glad I did. Nice protein boost and texture change. I like the simple «traditional» pizza. Thin crust– add olives. I either get it on gluten-​free crust or regular. The gluten-​free crust– I actually prefer on texture alone– it tends to be on the crispier, butterier, side. Never had their dessert but maybe next time… if I have room in my belly, I will. :)
Love this place.

Chicago fire, located in the small city (big city if you’re from the area) of Folsom (yes, that Folsom) almost seems like a place you might find in a big, chic city.
With hour long waits, and a tiny bar and not much room to wait, perhaps you can enjoy the rest of the town outdoors, while growing even more hungry. Being a New Yorker I may be a bit more impatient but, at least the bartender kept me occupied while waiting.
The thin crust pizza, while hot and flavorful, crispy and great… could be had at any number of spots where I’m from… maybe even the freezer section of a grocery store… okay, maybe not quite, but I certainly wouldn’t rave about it. It was just okay… at these wait times I wouldn’t rush back. This isn’t to say I’d never return, it was good… not great, and not the same as New York… or even Chicago for that matter. What it’s close to being is an UNO Chicago Grill chain, with fewer options.
The stuffed Pizza isn’t any better; it’s worse.
The service was slow and not the most attentive either.
I have a positive rating although my outlook kind of negative for Chicago Fire.
I mean what would you expect from a New Yorker, in a «Chicago style» themed spot, in FOLSOM, CA?
Cmon already

The killer here was the crappy service, and I just can’t believe the wait for a place like this is that long. I suppose these people haven’t actually been to Chicago, or had great NY pizza… Again, not that this was complete garbage, it wasn’t.

This location is the best I’ve been to. I usually order it from Scarlet’s next door and they walk it over. The pizza is always fresh and delicious. We usually get a half and half of the chicago supreme and the bbq chicken. Always great!

This is a good pizza spot located in the heart of Oldtown Folsom.
It is a prime location on Sutter Street right on the corner. Great outdoor seating, and very nice indoor seating as well.
They have a very good pizza the only downside of there deep dish pizza I have to say is they never cooked long enough so it’s always kind of soggy on the bottom. BUT… The thin crust pizza is on point though. They have amazing drink at the bar. I made the best Moscow Mule that is served in a traditional copper mug. That’s that had anywhere.
Definitely a spot I like to visit once a month or so

Love managers who really care. We had a baby shower for a friend here. The manager was so sweet and accommodating. She reserved the table for us, made menu suggestions, and even comped a pizza for a friend with cancer, as her way to contribute. Thank you!!! Delicious deep dish pizza. Love the mushroom/​spinach with extra garlic. The salads were fresh and delicious. We had a fabulous time made even sweeter by an awesome manager. My friends loved this place and everything we had was delicious. With a party of 12 or so, it only came to about $ 12/​person with tons of food– salad, pizza, etc. Thank you so much Chicago Fire!
P. S. Just read about their happy hour specials from 2 – 6 pm. $ 2 pizza by the slice, plus a bunch of other yummy appetizers. Will have to check it out again soon. Thanks!

We’ve been coming here for well over 8 years and this place has never disappointed once. Love the consistency, love the food, love the staff.
We love the artichoke, antipasto salad and chicago fire combo thin crust pizza. You really can’t go wrong here! Highly recommend.

We’ve been here a couple of times before, but it was a couple of years ago. We were in the area so we decided to give it another try.
I would rate this place a 3 ½ stars, but that’s not possible with this system. Lol. Maybe it’s an off day!!!
We ordered their traditional pizza added sausage. My buddy was in the mood for thin crust. The pizza came out good. However, it was not memorable enough for me to make that drive, again. An off day? Maybe. I lived in the Midwest for 25 plus years and spent time in Chicago and New York so maybe I’m used to something different.
The service was superb. Our waitress asked if we wanted more wine and always refilled the water glasses. She was courteous and cheerful.
Their décor is very nice. Great location with a parking lot. A bonus for an off street parking for most shopping in the area. Lol. Their bathroom was spacious and clean. Another big bonus in my book.
Overall, this is a great place to come for drinks and pizza with your friends. Looks like a draws in a younger crowd. Nice hip atmosphere.

I’m personally not super-​impressed with the menu, but somehow I am constantly getting dragged here by friends/​dates.
I don’t love the pizza, because it is far too greasy for me, but I do love the service, the cleanliness, the drink specials, and the chocolate chip pizza cookie.
The service is ALWAYS stellar. The restaurant is always very clean.
They make one of the best raspberry lemon drops I’ve ever had.
So let me tell you more about this cookie. Similar to the competition (although I think Chicago Fire came up with it first), the cookie is served to you hot in the cast iron skillet it was baked in, then covered with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry.
My daughter says, «Yuck, I hate cherries. Can you please get rid of it?» Um… I would be glad to get rid of all maraschino cherries you encounter for the rest of your life, yes. Mmm bleach. (But seriously, I love them.)
The stuffed combo pizza does taste pretty good, but again, it’s so greasy that I can’t even finish one slice before I start to get heartburn.
I was pretty unimpressed with the Greek fries. Again, oily, and quite bland as compared to the description on the menu.
