"In early 2024, local chain Pitfire Pizza opened in the old Mohawk Bend space in Echo Park. The angular red and white paint job illustrates a new era for the space, though much of the interior is still intact, including the photo booth and wood-fired oven turning out plenty of pizzas. Find the fireplace along a brick-encased wall in the rear dining area." - Eater Staff
"In February 2024, Pitfire Pizza started slinging pies in the former Mohawk Bend space. The owners kept plenty intact (the TVs, photo booth, plus a handful of popular Mohawk dishes) and brought their popular wood-fired pizzas and dipping sauces to the 2,500-square-foot space with meatballs, pasta, and a little gem Caesar salad." - Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
"In Echo Park Pitfire Pizza took over the former Mohawk Bend space to offer its sourdough pizzas and a few of Mohawk Bend’s signature dishes—keeping the photo booth—bringing its popular pizza program to a larger, 2,500-square-foot location." - Eater Staff
"LA’s popular piemaking chain took over Echo Park’s shuttered Mohawk Bend space and opened in February 2024. Though the space underwent a rework, the charm (including the photo booth) remains intact with Pitfire’s easy California Italian pies. The rear dining area is an easy space to accommodate a large party." - Mona Holmes
"The pizza at Pitfire is fine. You don’t need to be traveling across town for it, but if you’re hungry in Echo Park and don’t feel like dealing with long waits at Quarter Sheets, their sausage and ricotta pie with hot honey does the job. The real reason to prioritize this casual pizzeria is the massive dining space, which never gets too packed. Originally a vaudeville theater, it’s now a full-on pizza emporium with a full bar, vaulted ceilings, two heated patios, and lounge areas scattered around the brick-walled room. You won’t find a better place for a last-minute group dinner in the neighborhood." - Nikko Duren
