Menu Highlights & Signature Dishes: Oakfire’s claim to fame is its authentic Neapolitan pizza—thin, chewy crusts with signature char, created in a blazing wood-fired oven imported from Italy. The Margherita is a textbook classic, but the Diavola is the locals’ pick for its spicy, savory kick. The Prosciutto e Arugula pizza offers a balanced, fresh bite, while seasonal specials (like the Funghi with wild mushrooms) keep regulars coming back. Don’t skip the Burrata Caprese starter or the indulgent Nutella Pizza for dessert—both consistently earn rave reviews across platforms.

Vegan cheese is not standard, but staff are knowledgeable about menu ingredients and can advise on dairy-free or vegetarian choices. Most appetizers and salads can be customized for dietary needs. Due to the open kitchen and wood-fired oven, cross-contamination is possible—those with severe allergies should consult staff directly for guidance. Nutrition details are not posted, but pizzas are made with fresh, minimally processed ingredients.
