Fired Up Pizza

Fired Up Pizza Executive Chef, Michael Rice, has always had a passion for the art of cooking and the joy that is wonderful food. Shortly thereafter, Fired Up Pizza was born.

He began building his culinary skills at the young age of 8 years old in his Grandma’s kitchen. Growing up in an Italian family, Michael’s favorite childhood memories involve his family in that kitchen preparing meals, telling stories and hearing the sounds of laughter. The dinner table was a place you never wanted to miss! His love for feeding people led him to his first culinary experience under

the tutelage of an Italian chef in Columbia, SC. After graduating from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Marine Science, he decided to take a job in his field. After three years, he felt something was missing and discovered he was not passionate about field biology. Michael left his career and decided to move home to Charleston, WV so he could once again explore his passion in the restaurant business. He began as a pantry cook with one of the top-rated restaurants in Charleston and quickly moved up to the role of sous chef, working under some of the best chefs in the state. In 2008, Michael and his wife relocated to Columbus, OH and he began a successful career with Cameron Mitchell Restaurants. Michael served as the Executive Chef at Cap City in Gahanna and was chosen to help build and subsequently open The Barn at Rocky Fork Creek as the Executive Chef in 2014. After visiting a friend’s food truck in April of 2016, Michael was inspired to pursue his lifelong goal of starting a business all his own. Nothing is more exciting to Michael than bringing people together over delicious food. And no surprise, his Italian heritage influenced the decision to choose wood-fired, craft pizza. Outside of the kitchen, Michael enjoys listening to music, gardening, traveling, and most importantly spending time with family and friends. Michael believes you should always love what you do regardless of the risk you need to take to get there. He looks forward to sharing his love of delicious and creative food with you and your family.

SUNDAYS ARE FOR FAMILY. ❤️

At Fired Up, we believe some of the best memories happen around the table — good food, good conversation, and the people you love most.

So today, we’re putting the phones down, stepping away from the restaurant, and making some memories of our own. ❤️

We’re CLOSED today and tomorrow for family time + production.

We’ll be back Tuesday, firing up the ovens and getting back to what we love — making food that brings people together. 🍕🔥🇮🇹

Thank you for supporting our family-owned business and for letting us be a small part of your family’s table.

Enjoy your Sunday. Hug your people. Make the memories. ❤️
