Firehouse Pizza gives back
Building community in Morgantown and Bowling Green
IF YOU’RE HUNGRY FOR HANDMADE PIZZA, sandwiches, salads, pasta, wings or ice cream, Firehouse Pizza in Morgantown has you covered. And if you want to give back to the community, they’ve thought of that, too. A “wall of donations,” visible from both registers, holds gift cards donated by customers. Owner Eric Sublett says the wall stays full—a testament to the community’s generosity.
“If you’ve got a young mother or a family struggling, the last thing they want to do is ask for help,” Sublett says. “I’m just like, ‘Come on, I got you. Go sit down.’”
Served by Warren RECC, Firehouse Pizza has been a Morgantown staple since Sublett and his wife, Tosha, opened the restaurant in 2006, after opening their original in Bowling Green in 2003. Sublett prides himself on constant innovation, from the menu (sweet bacon sriracha pizza, anyone?) to the self-pour beer to the ice cream counter.
The pizza dough is handmade, the cookies are baked in-house and the sandwiches use top-quality ingredients. Sublett says the focus on quality has distinguished the restaurant from the beginning.
“When you put that kind of love into it, hopefully the customers notice, and they want to come back,” he says.
Located at 107 E. Ohio St., the Morgantown location is open 10 a.m.–9 p.m. Wednesday–Monday (closed Tuesday). The Bowling Green location, at 1701 U.S. 31 W. Bypass, is open 11 a.m.–3 a.m. Tuesday–Sunday (closed Monday). See menus, photos and more at firehousepizza.net.
