Catch-a-Fire Pizza was founded by Jeff and Melissa Ledford in 2012. Their food truck hit the streets of Cincinnati in 2013, serving wood-fired pizza all over the city, and becoming one of the area’s premier caterers. Within the last ten years, the company has experienced impressive and consistent growth, evolving from a handful of employees serving strictly from a food truck to three brick and mortar locations with a team of 130.

Since its inception, Catch-a-Fire Pizza has successfully built a reputable and marketable brand in the greater Cincinnati area while creating a strong company culture. Dedication, professionalism and passion have propelled the company to be one of the top dining destinations in Cincinnati. Catch-a-Fire Pizza specializes in Neapolitan-style wood-fired cuisine that is creative, healthy and delicious. Their elevated, yet approachable style is Chef-driven and their passion for food and beverage is evident in every aspect of the operation. Catch-a-Fire’s team of culinary professionals consistently offers high-quality food using the best, local ingredients. The menu is vibrant and diverse and certain to please everyone including families, pizza purists, foodies, vegetarians and vegans.

OUR MISSION

1% of our gross annual sales is donated to environmental nonprofits through our partnership with 1% for the Planet.

We invest in our people and promote from within. We offer all full-time employees health insurance, paid time off and contribute toward their retirement.

We are a craft restaurant, making all of our dough and sauces in house and sourcing the best local ingredients. We hold our food to a high standard and do not compromise on quality.
