Chicago’s Coalfire Pizza
At Coalfire we serve a thin crust, coal-forged pizza that emerges slightly
charred and bubbly from our 1,500 degree oven fueled by clean burning coal.
What kinda pizza?
“The pizza here is not New York–style or Chicago-style, nor is it exactly New Haven or Neapolitan. Beholden to no particular geographical bias, Coalfire takes the best elements of the most beloved traditional pizza styles and forges something more satisfying than any of them. The bubbly crust, almost ornate at the cornicione (the pizza’s outer edge), remains delectably thin and flexible in the center and comes up leopard-spotted underneath. It’s some kind of miracle, which the faithful clean-burning coal Valoriani brick oven manages in less than two minutes.
Coalfire does not simply make pizzas; it crafts creative statements that stretch the bounds of the medium, reminding us all to focus less on classifying pizza and more on enjoying it.”
