Coals Artisan Pizza.

Coals Artisan Pizza holds the title of Kentucky’s first coal-fired pizzeria, delivering a local-first dining experience from its flagship home inside the historic Vogue Theater in St. Matthews. The signature draw here is the American-Neapolitan crust, which undergoes a meticulous three-day cold fermentation process before being baked in a blistering coal-burning brick oven. The resulting pies are thin, airy, and named after Louisville neighborhoods. Options range from the classic, Margherita-style St. Matthews to the bolder, Buffalo-style Iroquois topped with roasted chicken and crispy fried onions. Backed by a full-service bar, a commitment to local ingredients, and an easygoing neighborhood energy, it is a highly dependable spot for a stellar slice and a beer.
