FireTruck Pizza Company to host its Grand Opening on Kolb Road

Dec 30, 20223 min read

Since the brewery’s debut nearly 10 years ago as Sentinel Peak Brewing Company, FireTruck Brewing Company has expanded and opened up two other taproom locations — one serving the east side and the other pouring beers in Oro Valley.

Now, the brewery is slicing and dicing into the pizza business.

Over on 800 N. Kolb Rd., the empty building that used to house Dry River Company is now FireTruck Brewing’s pizza concept, FireTruck Pizza Company. So, to kick things off, the new restaurant and taproom is hosting its official Grand Opening on Wednesday, January 4 at 11 a.m.

“We’re excited,” said Taylor Carter, co-owner. “We’ve got a big brick pizza oven in there, and we have our recipes dialed in.”

The building’s brand-new mesquite-burning brick oven will be cranking out all of its new pizza recipes (18-inch pies), including a “two slice and beverage” deal for $12 (upgrade to a beer for an extra $3).

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
