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 are committed to finding sustainable ways to operate our company such as sourcing food from local suppliers, composting, partnering with sustainable companies and volunteering in our local communities.

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. Our food is not fast food; it is made to order, so although it might take a little longer, it will be worth the wait.

We believe it’s important for every one of us to find time to explore, grow and follow our passions… FEED YOUR FIRE!
