They are starting to get cheaper and cheaper with ingredients. The last few times I've been there has felt like 'pulling teeth' to get a decent amount of sauce. For example the 18 chicken wings for 90rmb! barely had any buffalo sauce on them, and they charged me 20rmb more just for "extra"! The 3 carrot, 4 celery sticks weren't impressive either.

Their toasted subs have gone down hill too. One chewy slice of beef, a lettuce leaf, and invisible cheese is what they call a Cheese-steak sub. So dry I thought I was eating a sponge.

If anyone knows another place to get decent buffalo wings in WDK, please PM me!

I come from chicago where I love the deep dish. They don't have that but love the thin crust. I go there every thursday for the large for a medium price (take out only). Sunday I go there for an extra large. Thursday kinda crowded but a fun crowd. The price is fair to high. But pizza is great. I get an order of onion rings while I wait. They are pretty good too. As for the other food I couldn't tell you. I get the same thing every time.

firstly: i am a fan of italian thin pizza, but somehow i really like pyros a lot. tried eatalia once, but was not satisfied, so i switched back to pyros.

they serve apparently new york style pizza (large, not so thin, but thinner than a pizza hut pizza) which i like, its great when you are sitting home, having a coke and watching dvds.

prices are a bit high, but if you order on a thursday, you pay a medium and get a large one. still pricy, but ok, it easily feeds two people. i always order in the restaurant on my way home from university and they always deliver it roughly 40 minutes later. always on time, never any problems.

i never sat in the restaurant and never had the buffet, but delivery was always good and on time.

I have a prologue to make...

I am Italian, more precisely from Naples, therefore pizza is sh*t almost everywhere in the world for me...and when you pay 2 times what I would pay for the best pizza in my hometown...well!

Anyway, I had been there before with friends and (how surprising!!!) I wasn't impressed. I reckon is a great place for foreign students who want to get drunk fast and eat what it might be a ''tasty'' pizza for someone who have never tried the real thing.

Today I was coming back from work and, for some masochistic urge, I decide to go and buy a pizza to bring home.
Go there and ask if I can take away and they say no problem; so I choose a margherita XL (for me and my flatmate-113RMB) and the fuwuyuan tells me that 'because the pizza is big they need to put into 2 boxes and i have to pay 20 kuai more!!!

I ask her again in chinese, same story....I write it down just to be totally sure and she says yes.
Now...if I order the pizza from home they charge maybe 7 or 8 kuai total but since I am there and I obviously look stupid she decides I have to pay 20 kuai (the price of a meal right around the corner) FOR 2 BLOODY CARDBOARD BOXES...

End of stories I just said no thanks and walked away while she was saying I was crazy to her friend

Summarizing:
Pizza...0 star
place...2 star ( when is not crowded)
price...0 star (there is a place in Sanlitun run by Italians that charge less and is MUCH MUCH better)
IQ......no comment

I will never go back again. sh*t food, poor attitude, Uber-overpriced

A lot of people rave about the pizza here.
If it was a pizza place back home, it wouldn't stand out, but here, it does, because it simply meets our western taste-bud expectations.
The taste is consistent each time, and they don't serve up super processed meats, plastic cheese and sugary bread like some other 'western' restaurants.
And because most of us have eaten one too many poor excuse for a sandwich/pizza/whatever here in Beijing, so it's easy to get excited about somewhere that simply gets it right.

Nice serving sizes. Simply looking at the menu makes me smile. They know what they are doing.

I might take-away next time though. The atmosphere is just what some people are looking for, but I'm not a huge fan of rowdy vomiting teens who can't hold their liqueur.

That's what you see when you walk downstairs into Pyro, and that's exactly what you get. The college-bar type place serves up cheap pitchers of beer (they also have a test tube thing that looks cool but is probably not a great value) as well as pizza. You can also get a free pitcher with a large pizza. The atmosphere is very friendly--people always seem to be talking to the people at tables next to theirs, and the communal seating encourages that I think. During big events (world cup) the place can get unbearably crowded, but on a wednesday or saturday before propaganda it's the perfect place to have a couple of beers and then go upstairs to dance. If you're in Wudaokou, or even if you're not, go have a pitcher and a pizza with friends--totally worth it.

This place is just like a transplanted pizza-and-beer joint from an American college town. Authentic New York pizza it is not, but it is still good eating, and just the substance to soak up all the beers you're going to be pounding here.

The staff consistently pick good MP3s to play over the music system when people are eating, and there's usually something interesting on the TVs as well: retro sports, or maybe non-CCTV real news from The World.

The service is quick and attentive. I'm always a little annoyed at places that want you to pay the bill right after you place your order, but given that this is a college-type bar, the owner must have had some bad experiences with customers so decide to do it this way. I'd prefer to have the ability to order a pizza and some beer, and then keep my tab open so I can add more drinks and appetizers as I want, and not have to keep poking around all those dirty yuan in my wallet to pay the bill after each order.

Summary of food experiences:

Good: pizzas, wings, beer
Fair: subs, giant cookie dessert
Poor: nachos (way too small for the price, and skimpy on the meat and cheese), salads

Pyro gives the people what they want - legitimate tasty cheese sticks with marinera sauce. Not the pizza bread sprinkled with cheese business, cheese bread or whatever some other pizzerias try to sell. That along with a list of other goodies, Pyro is your answer to the muchies, I just wish they could extend their range in delivery. But I guess we cant win them all.

Pyro is a fun place to watch sports or just hang out. Their all you can eat daily pizza special is a pretty good deal. The margarita pizza is my favorite. There prices are a bit more expensive than some other bars but it is definitely worth checking out. Pyro was great during the US world cup soccer games.

They've got pretty good food here, not to mention good pizza specials during the week and on Sundays (if you get it delivered). Like most places in Beijing the service is slow and frustrating but it's a good place to hang out if you're feeling nostalgic and want to play a few rounds of beer pong. They have good hookah's too!
