pizza anyone?  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

this place is pretty good if you are willing to pay a higher price for pizza. not greasy, there's seating, limited menu. if you need a break and have a hankering for pizza, then this is the place for you.

Good Relatively Inexpensive Italian Food 5 Star Rating - World class

I always get their lasagna, and I really enjoy this place. It's relatively inexpensive - lasagna is $10 - and it's a nice place to eat before a movie or shopping in the area. Service is friendly and the ambience is bright. After having mediocre Thai food in the new Westfield, I am super happy that this place is in the Metreon (and cheaper, too, it seems - for the quality of food).

Pros: Good Italian Food Near Powell Street
Cons: Could Use More Table Service

Good food-court restaurant 4 Star Rating - Very good

The Metreon features some fairly high-end stores and their food court suits the overall quality of the place nicely. Our salads were really decent though I had to retreive more iced tea for us. My girlfriend's sandwhich was a bit dry but this was solved by adding extra dressing. They'd get a higher score from me if we ever had table service.

Pros: Good food
Cons: bad service

dinner and a movie 4 Star Rating - Very good

Probably the best food that you'll get in a foodcourt and with its location why wouldn't you grab some grub before or after a movie. The food is consistent and is delivered to your table fast. The entrees are a good portion and tasty. Try the baked rigatoni and a side of roasted red peppers.

Pros: fast service, location, parking

Good Lunch Spot 4 Star Rating - Very good

Firewood has great salads and pizza for a good value - Split one of each with a friend or go for the side salads and pizza. Sometimes the pasta can be pretty salty (like the mac n' cheese - yes they will give it to you even if you aren't a kid!). The chicken and roasted potatoes are tasty as well. Beware if there is a convention - the Metreon can be quite crowded.

Pros: Good Food, Reasonably priced, Quick Service
Cons: Can be crowded

Always good... 4 Star Rating - Very good

I love Firewood's pizza and array of appetizers, always fresh and satisfying. I especially recommend the Prosciuto Pizza and don't forget the tiramisu. A must before a movie or for a casual bite.

Pros: location, fresh, good food, fast service
Cons: crouded, somewhat loud, menu doesn't change
