coalhouse pizza

we were down in Stamford, CT today to wander around United House Wrecking and needed a little nosh. based on a few recos from Serious Eats we decided to give Coalhouse Pizza a whirl. as the name would imply, their pizzas are cooked in coal-fired ovens (which smell amazing), and they use fresh ingredients, along with many toppings/fixings that are all made in house. kyle & i split 2 of the 12" pizzas - one Kicker (fresh tomato sauce, mozz, basil, sliced jalapenos & poblanos, and hot oil infused with garlic cloves. we also added their house-made spicy sausage to it), and a Time Out (mozz, parm, basil, garlic, olive oil, fresh chopped plum tomatoes, and balsamic vinaigrette reduction). they were both awesome... the thin, crispy smokey crust, the fresh ingredients... all a total mouth party. hard to pick a fav since they were so different - one spicy madness the other light & fresh, but overall experience was a 7 *******.
