Brick & Fire Pizza & Pasta

Brick & Fire Pizza & Pasta operates a Casselberry location on State Road 436, in the same small cluster of restaurants near Ave Maria Gastro Lounge and Hacienda Vieja, as a second location of the pizza and pasta concept that first opened on South Orange Avenue in Orlando. The restaurant’s own materials describe a “buy local, eat local” philosophy, and running a small, two-location footprint between Orlando and Casselberry keeps the business well within the range of an independently owned regional operation rather than anything resembling a wider chain.

The Orlando flagship’s menu centers on pizza and pasta with regular weekly promotions, including discounted wings on Wednesdays and a Thursday wine special with unlimited refills alongside a food purchase, the kind of recurring, community-building programming that independent pizzerias often use to build steady weeknight traffic beyond the standard weekend dinner rush. Whether the Casselberry location runs the identical promotional schedule was not independently confirmed, but the shared branding, menu concept, and “buy local” positioning connect it clearly to the same small, locally rooted restaurant group.

State Road 436 near this part of Casselberry has become something of a small restaurant row, with Brick & Fire sitting alongside Ave Maria Gastro Lounge and Hacienda Vieja in the same general block, adding a pizza and pasta option to a cluster otherwise built around Ecuadorian and Mexican cuisine. The restaurant maintains active Facebook and Instagram accounts under consistent branding, along with online ordering through its own website, tools that a genuinely independent restaurant group increasingly needs to compete for attention against larger pizza chains.

For Casselberry residents, Brick & Fire Pizza & Pasta offers a locally owned pizza option with roots in Orlando’s independent restaurant scene, expanding its “buy local, eat local” model into Casselberry as a second location while remaining a small, two-city operation rather than a franchise chain.

Orlando’s South Orange Avenue corridor, home to Brick & Fire’s original location, has developed into one of the city’s more visible independent restaurant districts over the past decade, giving the brand a built-in reputation among Central Florida diners before its concept ever expanded north into Casselberry. Extending that reputation into a second location on State Road 436 places Brick & Fire among a small number of Casselberry restaurants with roots and name recognition extending beyond the city’s own borders, a slightly different profile from the many single-location independent restaurants that make up most of this directory.
