In 2022, Fire Rock Pizza, a one-of-a-kind restaurant in downtown Leesburg, sparked from the kindling of a shared family dream. 

“I’ve had this concept in my head for a number of years,” says Jack Foreman, who shares ownership with wife Joy and daughter Trina Dye. “But it wasn’t until our daughter wanted to open a restaurant that we decided to jump in together.” 

Although Jack had worked for pizza companies in his earlier years, he holds a degree in art and spent most of his career on massive projects for entertainment giants like Disney and Universal. 

Around the year 2000, Jack and Joy became foster parents, and Trina is one of 12 foster kids the couple adopted. Trina was 9 when she came to live with them, and they officially adopted her at age 12.

“Oddly enough, I was made perfect for them,” Trina says. “I’m an artist just like dad. I also worked for Disney, and I’ve pretty much followed in his footsteps. Now we are running a restaurant together.”

Trina spent many years in the restaurant industry and always hoped she’d have the opportunity to call the shots one day. When a restaurant she was working at closed and the owner put the equipment up for sale, Trina immediately called her dad.

“I had thrown this concept of a pizza place to her, and she was all-in,” Jack says. “So, we got the equipment and went to work.”

The lady who was selling the equipment also happened to own the building now occupied by Fire Rock Pizza.

“Trina is really the talent behind the restaurant,” Jack says. “She has a very unique way of making things and is always looking to make new items and improve recipes.”

Fire Rock Pizza isn’t your typical greasy and round pizza joint. Think fresh and flat. As in, pizzas built on 5” x 12” flatbreads that can be customized for every preference, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. 

“We wanted some place where everyone would be happy,” Jack says. “Everyone gets what they want on their pizza, and it’s the perfect size for an individual.”

 Create-your-own begins with the sauce. Choose from their signature tomato sauce, spicy tomato sauce, Alfredo or hummus. Then comes the cheese: mozzarella, house blend, parmesan, ricotta, and feta. Add your choice of meats: ham, pepperoni, bacon, sausage, chicken, pulled pork or meatball. Then finish it off with veggies: onions, black olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeños, garbanzo beans, black beans, spinach, banana peppers, or pineapple. Yes, they emphasize that pineapple definitely belongs on pizza. 

They also offer signature house pizzas which include the veggie lovers, meat lovers, cheese lovers, BBQ (chicken or pulled pork), the All-American with ground beef, bacon, cheddar jack and onion. Their most popular is the Hawaiian, but with a twist. It features Alfredo sauce, house blend cheese, pulled pork, pineapple, ham, and bacon. 

To complement the pizzas, the restaurant offers bone-in chicken wings, handmade soft pretzels with beer cheese, Caesar and house salads with a build-your-own option. Homemade desserts include cinnamon buns, fresh-baked cookies and a twist on the classic apple or cherry pie. 

They also have half pizza/half salad specials, along with rotating daily specials like the Taco Tuesday pizza.
