The thin crust pies come out of a piping hot 800-degree coal fired oven and the results are impressive. Try the classic Margherita , or the Pesto , Moradella or Prosciutto creations. Read more

Caesar salad followed by Pepperoni and Whipped Ricotta as well as the Honey and Salami Pizzas were just what the doctor ordered! Came here based on 4sq and will come again to try the rest! Super fast!

'Nduja is one for the books !! Calabrian style pork sausage melts in your mouth! Small space but they dont cram you - very considerate and friendly staff . Will surely come back! #coalfire

Found this on Foursquare. Stopped in. It’s now one of my favorite pizza places . The whipped ricotta is kind of amazing and the Caesar dressing is homemade

Chicago Tribune

This is the Leonardo DiCaprio of pizzas — it sweeps every awards list. And for good reason: Chefs whip ricotta with 'nduja (en-DOO-ya), a spicy salami that's soft enough to be spreadable. Read more

Coalfire focuses on the freshest dough and ingredients making their margherita and Fiorentino pizzas among the best in the city , but their mortadella pie is the must-eat. Read more

I have never met a waitress or anyone for that matter that makes you want to be their friend immediately until meeting Tonya. Great pizza , fun environment and wonderful pizza . ❤

Coalfire changed the way we think about thin crust . If you like it super crispy with a little bit of char, this is your new haunt. [Eater 38 Member]

Anything with whipped ricotta is amazing!! Get a margarita pizza and add whipped ricotta to it and you will not be sorry.

Dhruv B

As good as Great Lake without any of the pretension. Go for the Margherita , the tomato sauce has a nice spicy kick . Sausage is good but not a game changer. Incredible value.

Jenn LeFlore

Get the salad that has the apples/blue cheese ...I'm obsessed. And pizza comes out in like 7mins. I don't understand how!

Dalton Spear

The crust was some of the best, crispy but not falling apart !! The salami was out of this world

David Eldridge

Sausage and red onion pizza is great, classic flavors. Get a pizza and a salad for two people and save room for a cupcake . Otherwise two pizzas if no salad .

Chirag Patel

After having lived in Chicago for 2 years, I can honestly say one of the best pizza places in town (and in the heart of the cheese heavy joints in the Italian hood)

Kim M.

So far best pizza I've had in Chicago! It was truly mouthwatering!

Justine Gershak

Make sure to try the Nduja and White pizzas ! Absolutely unreal - one of the best pizza places in town .

Victoria Unger

Thin crust pizza is def the way to go and I love Coalfire's quick baked crust. Try the white pizza for sure - so fresh and lots of basil !

Kelly Schneider

Awesome pizza ! The whipped ricotta is amazing. There's bars around there to grab a drink while you wait for your table too!

Pooneet Kant

Delicious New York style pizza (ie, proper thin crust ). Everything is great, but the nduja is my favorite - spreadable spicy sausage on pizza !

Regan Azizi

One of my favorite pizza places in Chicago - get the sausage and add arugula . The servers are always so friendly .

Sarah K.

Margherita pizza and the Caesar is my go-to order (almost weekly!). The staff is among the best in the city .

Lais Livon Bowman

Pepperoni and whipped ricotta pizza is amazing!! Also had a creme brûlée cupcake . So, so good!

Eduardo Gonzalez

Awesome pizza . Try the mortadella or pepperoni and ricotta pizzas .

Mike

Some of the best and most gracious hosts/staffs I've ever known. Wood fire pizza is off the hook!

Brooke Furniss

There is no better thin crust pizza place in Chicago! We literally go here at least once a week. Mortadella is awesome!!

Manoj Ambalavanan

Simple spot with a great thin crust pizza . One pizza it’s just the right amount for one person

Rishad Tobaccowala

The best thin crust pizza among the 25 I have been too in Chicago. Try pepperoni mushroom and green peppers !

Hampton Inn Carol Stream Hotel

Coalfire changed the way we think about thin crust . If you like it super crispy with a little bit of char, this is your new haunt.

Nancy Beale

Margarita with pepperoni + a white pizza is the best ordering combo. Also Dave is the nicest guy ever and makes you feel like the most important customer ever ;)

Mike

The crust on the pizza is incredible, but the pizza itself did not live up to the hype. We tried a few types - make sure to steer clear of the ones with honey . They taste like a stale waffle .

Matthew K.

Margherita is simple and delicious. Also the staff is always ridiculously nice and helpful.

Matthew Supert

This place is trendy and fills up quick. If you get there before 6:00 you can usually get a seat quick.
