Warren Township’s dining scene has a new anchor at 51 Mt. Bethel Road, where Troy’s Firehouse and Bar opened its doors this spring inside the Arch Plaza, right next to Turf N’ Surf Burger Grill. The restaurant is the latest project from Trigo Restaurant Group, the local hospitality team already responsible for two of the township’s established favorites, La Colina Mexican Cantina and Lukas Seafood and Grille, and it marks a deliberate step into a more refined, fire centered culinary lane than either of the group’s existing concepts.

A Restaurant Built Around Its Fire

The concept’s name is not just branding. At the center of the open kitchen sits a wood fired brick oven running at roughly 900 degrees, visible from most of the dining room and serving as the literal and figurative heart of the restaurant. That open, energetic setup, paired with a bar forward layout near the entrance, has given Troy’s Firehouse and Bar a reputation among early guests for a space that reads as modern, clean, and elegant without losing the warmth needed to work equally well for a romantic date night or a full family celebration.

The restaurant’s own materials describe the guiding idea plainly, that every dish should carry the same sense of fire and passion the name promises, with the brick oven’s extreme heat delivering the specific crisp and char that lower temperature cooking simply cannot replicate. That philosophy runs through the menu’s structure, built around traditional Neapolitan style pizza alongside handcrafted pasta and a broader selection of upscale Italian mains.

Troy’s Firehouse and Bar represents Trigo Restaurant Group’s deliberate expansion into a more refined, fire driven culinary model, building on the team’s established local reputation with La Colina and Lukas Seafood and Grille.

What’s Actually on the Menu

That range, spanning wood fired pizza on one end and dry aged carpaccio and branzino on the other, gives the restaurant real flexibility across different kinds of visits, whether that means splitting a pizza at the bar during a casual weeknight stop or settling into a full multi course dinner for a special occasion. Antipasti, salads, and soups round out the earlier courses, giving the menu a genuinely complete structure rather than leaning entirely on the pizza and pasta categories that tend to define more casual Italian spots.

Booking a Table

Troy’s Firehouse and Bar is closed Mondays, open Tuesday through Thursday and Sundays from 11:45 a.m. to 9 p.m., and extends to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations, bookable through OpenTable, are recommended, particularly for weekend dinner service once the bar scene picks up in the evening. For a township that already had two well regarded Trigo owned restaurants before this one opened, the arrival of a third concept built specifically around fire driven Italian cooking gives Warren diners another genuine reason to stay local for a night out, rather than driving into a neighboring town for the kind of elevated dining experience Troy’s is aiming to deliver.
