Fuel

OK, even I was a skeptic walking in here and being around the restaurant/​bar on my many trips to my hometown. I heard people talking about how good the pizza was, but some of those people like Pizza Ranch (yuck!). Finally, last week I went here after the lunch rush and had their chicken/​pesto pizza. OMG! First off, a pesto ingredient in rural North Iowa? That was a shocker! The pizza was great, probably the best pie I’ve had in over a year, and I’ve been living in California (sadly, SoCal and not NorCal where the good pizza comes from). The service was acceptable, but not «5 star» (I had to ask for my beverage to be filled twice). Recommended!

Okay, first of all let say I have been to fuel many times in the past three years. I grew up in Clarion. You can imagine how pleased I was to see a family establishment that provides great food, service, libations, and often live entertainment. My wife & I have also enjoyed the outdoor patio on many beautiful evenings.
Of the estimated fifty times I have been in Fuel, service was terrific! Ellie, (a great waitress), often helps us when available, and she is an absolute Jewel!
On just one occasion when they were busy we had a wait on the patio & my beautiful wife went in to not complain, but to remind them we were on the patio. The owner promptly insisted we accept a $ 20 gift certificate despite our protests. .. This, is a classy place!

Fuel has amazing food and has a nice atmosphere. It is worth a stop in Clarion or near by. The pizza is coal oven style and delicious. We tried the Reuben pizza and a Meatball/​Pepperoni pizza both were excellent. The spinach artichoke dip with pizza chips are very tasty. We also tried the pretzels coated beer battered cheese curds and they were also great. This place has some really good pizza some of the best in the state of Iowa

Very nice and clean place. Food was really good. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Service wasn’t the best, but I guess that should be expected in Clarion. Will definitely return for pizza, it looked great.

I’m glad that the area has a place like this! I always love to stop in and eat here when I come home to visit. The atmosphere is good, and so is the food. The pizza, to be honest, can be hit and miss due to the oven they use. Sometimes it’s perfect, other times it’s underdone or a bit burnt. However, it always tastes good!
If you come here, make sure you try the spinach artichoke dip with the pizza dippers! I have eaten a lot of spinach artichoke dips over the years (seriously, it’s a problem I have) and Fuel by far has the best I have ever eaten. I would gladly order this for my main meal!

The food was great and came out way faster than I thought (honestly, I ordered, ran to the bathroom, and my pizza was there) super friendly staff! A great time!

Fantastic thin crust pizza. Not very saucy which is a choice/​option to me. Sometimes that’s the way to roll !
Flying pigs appetizer with sauce out of this world. Decent beer selection micro. Not much other choices but big brands: miller and bud.
Staff is on top of it. Owner is busy and doesn’t seem too friendly, but he’s busy cooking lots of dishes fast on 750 F oven. Mussels good.
Closed Monday and Tuesday and July 10 days for vacation.
Great.

Cool atmosphere, the unique selection on menu is much better than just «bar food». Service with a smile. A touch of California Flavors and flair in Clarion.
True brick oven pizza with unique combinations of Flavors.
