While in Jackson, pizza options are limited when finding something outside of the big box pizza joints. When asking around, Hand Fire was suggested along with two other local spots. Most places in Jackson near the Town Square Park are within walking distance from your hotels. This does create a longer wait times during peak dinner hours in almost all of the Jackson dining establishments.
As for Hand Fire pizza, their building captures your attention immediately. It is pretty darn cool how they transformed a movie theater into a unique dining experience.
After our little wait time we were seated upstairs away from the ledge so we couldn't watch the pizza makers work the ovens.
Our food was good, I was happy with my pizza as was my wife with her calzone. I can't say that my pizza at Hand Fire was epic, outstanding, of memorable. It was good, had a decent crust that was almost to my standard of wood fired pizza. It was lacking that certain bite consistency in its texture. It was almost as the pizza was rushed in the oven not allowing it to obtain the ability to hold up to its job. I got the sausage and peppers pizza, toppings overwhelmed the crust. My opinion, a classic Margarita pizza would be suitable for the crust.
Overall, the experience at Hand Fire was good, romantic atmosphere, good pizza, good time.
