Coal-Oven Pizzerias Nationwide

I just returned from a business trip to NY area and ran uptown for a quick fix of Patsys Coal Oven. Grabbed 2 slices and I was back in heaven. I live in Orange County, CA and we have a few expatriates from NY that have opened up shop but the Pizza is still the typical Sbarros- large, heavy on the cheese with lackluster sauce type.

Over the years I've read comments on various sites that Patsy's has gone downhill, I strongly disagree and truly enjoyed a Slice for the first time in awhile. I grew up in Manhattan and lived there for most of my life and never heard of Patsys until 10 years ago after reading about the merits of Coal Fired Ovens.

Imo's Pizza in St. Louis

My family (wife & 2 kids) and I had the misfortune of stopping here in 1986 while driving to KC from NYC. We thought it was the worst excuse for Pizza ever imagined. We all agreed it was like making Pizza with Matzoh and Cheeze Whiz. UHG!!!!!! The sad part is it continues to win Best of St Louis year after year. After having an Italian dinner in the area known as the Hill I did understand why Imos is a St. Louis staple.

Thanks, Natalie2040. I see that Anthony's has ten locations in Florida. I didn't know that. I'll add them in the next couple days. That's gonna take a while!

I'd like to add one in Florida...Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. They are a local chain that's the top choice for coal oven pizza in so fla. The toppings are fresh and I love the "burnt" crust! www.anthonyscoalfiredpizza.com

Imo's Pizza in St. Louis

Having been born and raised in St. Louis our favorite whenever we come back is pizza from Ponticello's Italian Restaraunt in Spanish Lake, north St. Louis county. It also uses Provel cheese, which we bring back also bought from Dierburg's or Schnucks, sliced thin with paper in between each slice. Ponticello's makes a really good, thin crust pizza and has wonderful Italian sausage and the world's best onion rings! There used to be at least 5 Ponticello's but now only 1. It's family run and as soon as it opens there's a line to get in.
