Marylisa Lichens pulls a pizza from the 630 degree oven at Fireflies. The restaurant began as a pizza place 13 years ago but the favorite “hands down” is currently the burger, enjoyed by President Obama a couple of years ago.

Alexandria People at Work: Getting Back on Track
Something's always happening at FireFlies on Mount Vernon. It might be Pick a Pasta Night on Tuesday, Build Your Own Omelet or Quiche Brunch on Sunday, live comedy on Monday Burger Night, local musicians on the weekend or children dancing on the stage when it's not otherwise occupied. Marylisa Lichens, owner with her husband Dan, says, "We wanted it to be a place where families could bring their children and have dinner a couple of times a week. We wanted it to become an extension of the neighborhood."
