​
Whether you’re a foodie or just looking to try something new, original paella from Fire & Rice will exceed your expectations in every way. Not only will you taste the best paella you’ve ever had, you’ll have a fantastic time sharing in a communal dining experience. 

​What Makes Our Paella Original? 

Using only the finest ingredients dating back to 16th-Century Spain, our chefs create traditional, award-winning paella through a process that was perfected many centuries ago. By cooking paella in a large, shallow pan, we allow for the right amount of evaporation to ensure a delicate texture. With options of chicken, sausage, rice and saffron ingredients along with seafood, vegan dishes, and other combinations, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
​
Whether you share in our Mixta Paella, Paella Valencia, or Paella de Marisco, the results are amazing, like nothing you’ve ever tasted before. The lovely aromas will touch your senses long before you try the dish, and when you take your first bite, you’ll enjoy rich yet delicate flavors that have been exquisitely fused together. 

We're Passionate About Paella

At Fire and Rice, we create every dish with passion and enthusiasm, and the results are incredible. Many of our clients have traveled all over the world and say it’s the best paella they’ve ever tasted. Our paella comes from the heart, and you’ll see that in our preparation and when you share in this wonderful dish.
​
Fire & Rice owner, Chef Paul Schmidgall, learned the process of making paella from an elderly woman during a visit to the Spanish island of Menorca while stationed in Europe with the US Air Force. From that very experience more than a decade ago, he knew he was destined to share paella with the people of the United States, and established Fire & Rice in Naples. His concept caught on like wildfire, and now you can enjoy paella from Fire & Rice at locations all over the country!
