Fireside Pies Sells 3,800 Pizzas a Week
Fireside Pies will celebrate a decade of slinging pies on Henderson Avenue this year, and if the crowds are any indication, Consilient's pizzeria is as hot as ever. The brand has since expanded with several more locations, all of which have cultivated their own neighborhood following — and to keep up with demand, Fireside is going through a helluva lot of product.
In an average week, the four original locations (Henderson, Inwood, Shops at Legacy and Grapevine) will sell 3,800 pies between them. To keep up with demand, they'll go through:
Flour: 1,750 pounds of flour
Cheese: 930 pounds
of freshly grated house cheese blend
Pepperoni: 150
pounds of fresh-cut pepperoni
Basil: 55 pounds of
hand-cleaned sweet basil
Olive oil: 55 gallons of
olive oil
Tomatoes: 800 pounds of fresh tomatoes
Lettuce: 456
heads of organic Texas Bibb lettuce
