Host/Hostess - Full-time / Part-time

Fireside Pies is a neighborhood gathering place with its own destination appeal.

In 2004, Fireside Pies was born to an old cottage on historic Henderson Avenue in Dallas. Today, Fireside Pies is a collection of intimate neighborhood restaurants dedicated to serving outstanding artisan pizzas made in hot wood-fired ovens, as well as items that naturally compliment pizza. These include hand-cut pasta, market fresh salads, craveable appetizers, house made desserts and, of course, a thoughtful selection of fine wines, craft beers and scratch cocktails. Each Fireside Pies restaurant reflects the character of its neighborhood so no two are the same but all evoke the soul of heartfelt rustic cooking, genuine hospitality and the joyous spirit of a great gathering place.
