"Hooked on Bread!" Can you believe a nice stranger can get a free pizza just like that?. It was a gesture made by none other than Gerard who works by the oven. He saw me trying to work with my budget on the menu, but kindly asked me without worry, "What would you like?" He had no intention to let me pay. The pizza was in and out in less than 10 minutes. My crust was fully cooked. There were no black marks underneath. So it tasted clean! and neat! Without fail, the crust saves the pie. Now that I know what this pizza taste like, I know how to order. COALHOUSE PIZZA is a bread lovers place: Your Best Pizza Pies here have 3 or more toppings with less sodium, light cheese and extra sauce! Pies are cooked just right. For pies with more color ask for well done. I know my second pizza is going to be so much better! Thank You for lunch! read more

Tuesday night, not a large crowd inside, solid music playing, and instantly felt welcome by the owner. We got two gluten free pizzas and they hit the spot! The service was quick, loved playing a game of Uno No Mercy while we waited (pretty sure my spouse cheated on that game) but I digress. Try this place out. Say hi to the owner. It's a great spot and I'll happily return. read more

I just ordered two BlueSkies pizzas, which the menu and photo(below) show with Basil. The pizzas that I received had no basil.(photo below). I Called Coalhouse to let them know and they told me the sauce had basil in it. I feel this was a poor excuse and I will take my business elsewhere in the future. read more

Really awesome owners! The inside is nice and the back bar area is the spot no one is telling you about! They really did a great job with the blues theme and music. The pizza is pretty good! The toppings are winners! Enjoy a drink, get some pizza, play uno, catch a game! It's a vibe! read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch at Coalhouse Pizza on a recent Saturday, and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we've had in a long time. We had the pleasure of meeting the proprietor and his lovely little daughter, and the warmth and hospitality they showed us set the tone for the entire visit. The food was excellent and the drinks were equally impressive. But what really made the afternoon special was the wonderful conversation I had with the owner about blues music -- the playlist filling the room and the fantastic portraits lining the dining room walls sparked a chat I won't soon forget. It's rare to find a place where the passion behind the establishment comes through so clearly. Great drinks, fantastic food, and truly wonderful hospitality. We can't recommend this excellent pizza bar highly enough -- we'll absolutely be back! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Great pizza, great space, great owner! Such a great place to stop on a Friday afternoon after work.

Recently came to Coalhouse Pizza on a Friday night and it was packed! Definitely make reservations since this is a more popular night because they have live music. Luckily we were able to snag a seat at the bar. This is a more family friendly type of restaurant which is great if you're coming with a large group or children. I enjoyed my burger, but I think overall my husband and I thought the food was just okay. However, it is affordable so this can be a great place if you're looking to dine on a budget! read more

Coalhouse Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

We went into Coalhouse around 1pm. After searching for a staff member and finally being seated we were handed all the menus including the lunch specials. Turns out they had no soup at all (he said he had to revise that menu). Then we said we'd like something else on the regular menu and again they didn't have any (because that item is popular). We decided to head out to somewhere else. It is too hard to even get into this restaurant with the awful parking to be then told the menu is limited. Disappointing. read more

We visited Coalhouse while in the area, I had been there a few years back and enjoyed the experience. This time I found the pizza to be mostly dough, about 2" of the top had no cheese, sauce, or toppings. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. They also did not have prices in menu and we were a touch surprised by $16 mozzarella sticks. The place was nearly empty and I think the food and prices might explain that. I had really high hopes but left disappointed. read more

Pizza selection here is great! They're a solid, local little spot that also does live bands I think on weekends. They have an extensive pizza menu and also caters to vegetarians, which I think is a major plus. If you're looking for some great pizza, I would recommend this place. The decor is also pretty laidback and fun as well. read more

I love Coalhouse it is great for pick up and delivery, my pizza was delicious and I decided to try the apple pie (never gotten dessert from here before) and it was so good. My only complaint is that when my food was delivered the doorbell wasn't rung/I wasn't notified so the food was sitting outside and got cold. read more

This place is really good. I read the reviews before I ventured out and they were pretty much on point. Except no one mentioned how awesome their Margaritas were. The Margaritas were delicious - a perfect blend. Originally my daughter said she was going because they had an extensive beer list but once she had the Margaritas she forgot about ordering a beer. I also ordered the little red rooster pizza pie and it was delicious. The crust was nice and soft and it had the right amount of cheese. I had the sweet thai chili wings and it had a nice crunch and was full of flavor. I am happy that I stopped in this restaurant. The wait staff was really nice and he informed us when he thought we had too many Margaritas but I wasn't counting them I was having a good time. They do have Happy Hour I believe its from 3-6pm in the bar area. read more

Don't order a salad at Coalhouse Pizza. I ordered a salad that sounded like it would be similar to a Cobb Salad. the lettuce was not fresh, in fact some of it was actually rotten. I would have sent it back, but the waitress never came back after the meal was served. The salad was supposed to have bacon, but it has tiny bacon chips. overall, it was a bowl of rotten lettuce with a bit of garnish. read more

Stamford holding out on the rest of the world with this one. Visited for a weekend and I was glad we stayed at an AirBnb only 5 minutes from here. We ordered the Sunny Side of the Street and the Bumpin' on Sunset. Stout-marinated figs? Like, BRUH. that's all you need to know about the witchcraft going on in here. Both pizzas were amazing and the Happy Hour only made it even better. The service was good and pretty attentive. read more

Ugh - haven't been back in a while and I understand why. Went for dinner on a Saturday night when you would expect the place would be hopping. There were only 3-4 other parties seated when we walked in at 7pm. I noticed that the tables and decor have never been updated since the place opened and the wear and tear on the furniture is really showing. The menu hasn't changed much either, for better or for worse, except they removed the Korean chicken wings which was the best thing on the menu. We ordered a salad with chicken and a few pizzas. Chicken was extremely dry and the salad was overdressed with too many almonds. The pizzas were ok but very doughy. There was a live band playing mostly oldies and they were very loud and I couldn't enjoy dinner conversation because I couldn't hear anything. Sadly, I think it is clear that Pepe's across the street is putting this place out of business. It was nice knowing you, Coalhouse, read more

Stop here most every chance I get. It's a pizza place, but I don't think I've ever had their pizza. The paninis are so good I just never got to the pies. Poppers were ok. Tried for the first time today. Not bad, but nothing I would repeat. The Cajun dry rub wings are always amazing. Huge pieces with a crunchy skin and slightly salty Cajun rub. They have various iterations of chicken paninis. I've had several, and haven't been disappointed with one yet. Today, the howling wolf. Grilled chicken, Mozz, red onions, bacon- delicious. Surprisingly they all seem to be a little better on wraps, but you do your thing. Service during midday is not super, but I've seen them on a busy Friday and they can usually keep everyone happy. Anyway, if you're in the area definitely worth a visit. read more

Can I give 6 stars?! We used to live in Stamford and absolutely love this hidden gem. When driving through this week, we HAD to stop for lunch. First, let's talk about the dry rub wings - best you can find anywhere!! Truly, SO GOOD! I love all of the sandwiches, you can not go wrong. I normally get them on a pressed wrap (which I think is the best way to order) but this time I tried it on a panini and it was still delicious. I got the Miles Davis sandwich, never disappoints and is such a large portion I could only eat half. Can't wait to go back, and trust me you need to try this spot!!! read more

We have done takeout only so can't speak too much on the service or ambiance. The food itself was really good. We did pizzas, salad, wings and it was all worth it! Our friends have gone to eat in there and said the same about the food and the service. If we ever go, I'll make sure to come back and edit this review.! read more

Happened upon this place as 2 other restaurants I wanted to go to were closed. I hadn't wanted pizza but was resigned to that. How surprised I was to find that they had REALLY great salads! Inside the first room is ok, but then there is a larger room and then a back room with a full bar, TVs all around, nice jazz mural, visuals . Service was very good , although I gotta say it was not busy at the time I went off hours. I got the " mood indigo " salad and it was delicious! Good menu and good service . Lots of vegetarian options. I'll be back. read more

A mixed bag - thats pretty much what this place is. The pizza ranges from really good to "what were they thinking", and there really is no rhyme or reason between the two. The beer list, however, is *stellar*. That said, some general rules of thumb * the tomato-sauce pizzas are quite good, and the white pizzas - not so much. * the hot oil isn't particularly hot, and is certainly not worth the $4 surcharge * the "sweeter" pizzas are way too sweet (if it sez. "figs", watch out) * the sweet-potato fries are really quite good * stay away from the non-pizza stuff on the menu * the jalapeno poppers are *huge* * the happy hour ain't bad read more

Although I've had great food dining at Coalhouse in the past, my most recent experience with delivery was disappointing. I found a huge bone when I bit into my pizza. It was the first slice, and my dinner was ruined. When I complained to Uber Eats, they subtracted that one item from the tab. They said they would let the restaurant know about the pizza, however they never reached out to me. read more

Coalhouse Pizza - Yuck!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

I have been here twice and liked my experiences both times. The first time was for dinner and the second time was for lunch. They have two rooms for indoor sitting and then an outdoor countertop area. During the dinner rush, it was packed, but I was seated quickly. Came there for lunch during a weekday and it was completely empty. The food was pretty good. The pizza combinations are really interesting making it hard to choose which one to get. I got the favorite things pizza! It has pesto instead of tomato sauce.....life changing!!! Their salads and other dishes, like the ribs, are also delicious. They have a large beer selection, which they sell both by the glass and the pitcher. I ended up getting an ale from Two Roads. There are also some daily specials as well as happy hour offerings. The staff was attentive. There was adequate parking as it is located in a little plaza. I would definitely come back! read more

Good food, service is horrible! We had to ask for silverware 3 times and they got mad when we called them on it! They never came back to check on us, we said we needed a few minutes to look at the drinks and they ignored us! We had to wave someone down! read more

Just ordered some pizzas from Coalhouse and they did not disappoint. The "Sitting on top of the World" pizza (which is their shrimp pizza) was wonderful. Our fave, though, was the "Favorite Things" and we added the clover honey to it!!! Let me tell you that adding the clover honey was absolutely amazing! They should just make it a regular thing for that pizza! The variety of flavors in your mouth from the delicious garlic pesto, the smooth ricotta, the saltiness of the prosciutto and the sweetness of honey- wow, wow, wow! Highly recommend!!! We will be ordering again. read more

Went for lunch on a Friday afternoon. After ordering a cocktail we learned they were only serving beer and wine. After ordering a pizza we learned their oven was off. Odd to be 'open and serving' with such a limited menu. Would have preferred to learn of the restricted options before being seated. read more

Nice spot for lunch. We are in the restaurant (which has a different vibe than the bar). Service was good. Food -wings and fries- were really good. Location can be deceiving-plaza of stores- Would recommend it. read more

Coalhouse Pizza - a large mural of black and white images on the wall - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

The names of the pizza on the menu, made me want to get one of each!!!!! I will definitely stop by my next time in the area!!!

I've been here multiple times and as much as I want to like the pizza, I don't. It is relatively average with way too much doughy, bread-like crust. Also, depending on the pizza you get, the toppings/cheese can be way too salty and completely overpowers the whole thing. Overall, the pizzas just feel too unbalanced in their topping to crust ratio. Although, some great things are the atmosphere (it's lively and casual) and the food/drinks menu is huge, so there is definitely something for everyone. read more

After seeing their menu online I knew I had to try this place. The pizza choices were all very unique and had great ingredients. The restaurant itself is nice with fun decor. It is very large inside and has a grand bar area as well. The main entrance is a bit of a tight squeeze especially if there's a line. The place looked fairly busy and we were seated within a few minutes. The menu had a lot of good choices and the drink list was expansive. I loved how many items they had on tap. For a party of two we ordered the Parmesan truffle fries as an app and two entrees (sandwich and pizza). Food took a while to come and when the Parmesan truffle fries came they were pretty cold and soggy. They also didn't have much truffle taste to them. The pizza was good but a bit soggy as well making many of the toppings fall off as I was eating. I did really enjoy the habanero honey that was on the pizza though. Staff was ok at best. It took a while to initially be greeted and seated. Once our waitress came over she was very distracted and kept looking around the restaurant. She was not all that pleasant and was even a bit rude. I would definitely not return if she was my waitress again as she just made us feel rather uncomfortable. The environment really drew me in however everything else fell a bit short of expectation. read more

Note: I haven't tried the actual pizza yet, for context. I really wanted to like this place, and had heard good things about the wings. I've been slowly working my way through wing options in the Stamford area, hoping to find a gem. Alas, this was not that gem. I tried two of the hot wing flavors to compare them, the Mojo Hot Wings (spicy) and the Buffalo Supreme Wings (Spicy). I wasn't sure what the difference was, but when asked if I wanted blue cheese on the supreme wings I said no, and on the receipt it said regular, so I assume there's an option to have it come with crumbled blue cheese. The wings had good flavor (although not very spicy), but they weren't the best quality of meat and were REALLY dry. I know not everyone likes saucy wings, but if you do, definitely order extra sauce (they charge for this on seamless). The blue cheese was just ok (I love a good blue cheese). The celery and carrots were soggy because of how they were packaged. I know takeout fries can be hard, but the sweet potato fries were also very soggy, and I ended up not eating them. I also ordered the Supreme Love salad to eat the next day, and it was pretty tasty for lunch. read more

Coalhouse has a great selection, their burgers and pizzas are top-notch. I also love the unique combinations they use on their signature pizzas. Basically, you can try a new combination each visit! Pretty cool in my opinion. The only downside is that it is a little pricy for what you're getting. Other than that, highly recommend giving them a shot. read more

My family and I ordered takeout at Coalhouse after we heard good things about it. We waited a reasonable amount of time for the food but upon arriving at home, saw that the majority of our meals were missing several key food items. For example, one of us ordered the John Coltrane sandwich and the only thing inside was chicken and balsamic. It is missing all of the key ingredients listed on the menu. ??? I ordered Pasta with Broccoli Rabe, Chorizo, & Garlic. I asked for the meal WITHOUT CHEESE because I'm lactose intolerant. They gave me SO much cheese on it AND did not add any chorizo. Also, the pasta was tasteless and soggy. The rest of my family who ordered pizza didn't have any complaints. However, missing key ingredients in several meals isn't a good look. On a more positive note, the Lomo Saltado Rolls tasted like grandma's pot roast in a really big egg roll shell! Would recommend if going there. read more
