    12" Margherita Pizza with spicy Italian sausage
    Erik B.

    Was craving wood fire pizza, which led us to Coal Fire. Very glad we went. The bar service was as attentive and the server made some great recommendations. We tried the Margarita pizza and added spicy Italian sausage to it and it was great. Only downside is you have to be in the bar for happy hour prices and it can get crowded. Half price pizza is worth the crowd.

    I been coming here for years now, and Coal Fire is always good. Service is always good. Food is made to order and you can see the kitchen staff making your food. I have no complaints about this place.

    I think Coal fire is one of the best pizza in Howard county. I've been going to this place since they opened (long time Ago). Love the freshly brick oven taste. They also have great selection of tasty cocktails you can choose from. Servers are always friendly with quick service. They also have small outdoor dining areas where you can enjoy the neighborhood on a nice day.

    Came across this place in the Baltimore's best pizza list , so a friend and I decided to give it a try . Located in a small shopping center (with not so much -just enough parking spots ). Plenty of dinning area and bar room to come and watch the game. The staff was young but very nice with good service. We sat at the bar . My strawberry mojito was okay (didn't hit the way I wanted it to , but then again I'm not really a mojito girl so Idk ). My potatoes skins were perfectly made (minus the "special sauce that went along with it). Our pizza was okay . The onions could have been diced and the special sauce the bartender recommended...was too sweet , which threw the overall taste of the pizza off. I would definitely come back.

    This is a small restaurant in Ellicott City. It was very clean and well run. The server was quick to refill our drinks and was very friendly. Now onto the food.....I can't believe I am going to say this but the knockout of the whole meal was the kids chicken tenders. They were super crispy and juicy. I would expect this from a chicken place but not a pizza place. They crushed those tenders. Unfortunately everything else was just average at best. The fries had zero salt on them, which was shocking. The pizza, which should be the best part, was so floppy on the bottom I couldn't believe it. How do you get the crust nice and crispy and then the bottom barely had any color on it? I have to say, I've been here many times and this is the first time I was surprised how the pizza was. I hope next time I go they have it together a little better. The regular cheese pizza and the margarita pizza were identical except for basil on the margarita pizza. I've eaten so much pizza in my lifetime and a margarita pizza should never look exactly like a regular cheese pizza. The salads were good and there were no complaints about them from the people that ate them. I will give this place another try when my kids want to go there. Let me know what you think!

    We tried to make it to coal fire every couple months because they have an excellent happy hour and I really love the lasagna pizza. We tend to eat in the bar because we like to do the happy hour and I'm always impressed by the incredible service we receive and attention from the staff. The pizza is never a miss and it's definitely become one of my favorites. This time we got to try the buffalo chicken pizza along with the lasagna pizza and both were excellent and we definitely had enough for lunch the next day. I also got a cocktail and really enjoyed it!

    White pizza with chicken topping

    So disappointed in the white pizza. It had no flavor. Even with the addition of the chicken topping. Red pepper flakes and garlic powder didn't help. The Caesar salad was okay.

I'll be sure to order that next time. The place was pretty full and there were a lot of people coming and going picking up orders to go. Not a lot of tables inside, and a few outside.

It was a good portion, and she said it tasted good. I ordered a regular bowl with two proteins and house sauce. The salmon, tuna, and toppings seemed fresh, but unfortunately, the house sauce was bland and didn't add much flavor to the dish. I also asked for brown rice, but it tasted hard and crunchy--it seemed undercooked. We also ordered bubble tea, which was good and complemented the meal nicely. The lady at the counter was friendly, and the place itself was clean, though on the smaller side. While the quality of the ingredients was good, the house sauce could use some improvement, and the brown rice should be cooked longer.
