Fire King Pizza was not born in a boardroom; it was built one customer at a time. Tony Harrell who was the owner of Best Wings of Columbia wanted to solve a problem by offering pizza on their original menu. He was able to find Italian pizza makers who were able to help him solve the problem. Jeremy Belton was a customer of Tony’s and wanted to continue his support, so they began working together. With help from their family, the belief in Fire King Pizza gave it momentum to where it is today.
Fire King Pizza offers handcrafted oversized pizza slices, specialty deep-dish pizzas, extra crispy wings, handcrafted specialty egg rolls, fresh house made lemonade, and other items. They are located on 1840 Hampton Street and are open from 11:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
