10Best Says

The place is called Coalfire Pizza because its super thin crust style pizza is cooked in a brick oven at over 800 degrees. For those who prefer more of a traditional Neapolitan style pizza, Coalfire does the trick. It makes its dough fresh daily and its meats and vegetables are delivered every morning so it can include the freshest ingredients in every dish. While some prefer to load their pizzas with lots of toppings, Coalfire recommends adding just two or three toppings. Among fan favorites is the Nduja which includes calabrian salami (a soft salami that you can actually spread), sauce, fresh mozzarella and chopped basil.
