Delicious! I just enjoyed a fantastic lunch of tomato soup, wedge salad (no bacon,) and sweet tea. I will definitely return to try the pizza and other offerings! Fresh, hearty, and oh so flavorful! Yummy! Definitely recommend giving Coals a try! Superb, friendly, attentive service topped it off.

We wanted to try a little bit of everything. We ended up trying the dry rub wings, chop chop salad with the Italian vinaigrette, Seneca pizza, and the Anchorage pizza. We loved it all! Caroline was our server and she was phenomenal! Overall, no complaints whatsoever.

Been told to go here for many years and finally was in the area to check it out. Pizza is delicious beautiful leoparding on the crust the sauce tasted delicious. The cheese was flavorful and delicious pepperoni was nice and crispy. Pizza was delicious. I would definitely come back to try the other pizzas. I love it when I find another good pizza restaurant in Louisville

The management staff and servers were awesome to work with, especially with a last minute need. We had a large party in the back room and Caroline was very helpful and on top of everything. Food was amazing as well.

Best bartender in town and old fashioned ever. Good food and atmosphere. Just wish they didn't close so early on Friday nights. This is one of our favorite places to go on date nights...actually we go to Coals weekly now. All the waitresses and hostesses are great but we adopted Olivia and Hannah as family. Their service and energies were super awesome. Update: we still go but not quite weekly anymore. Just not the same but a great spot with good food nonetheless. Still love their Buffalo wings and blue cheese. Hubby loves butchertown pizza and grandson loves the meatballs. The lobster pizza is good and so are the salads.

Had heard Coals had really good pizza so we went and ordered pizzas to take home. While we waited we had a drink at the bar. Our bartender, Zoey was very personable and friendly. She made the best most flavorful drinks for us. She had such a great personality and was very attentive to our needs. The waiter, Xavier was so polite and kind and we really enjoyed his attentiveness to making sure all our needs were met with a friendly smile. Both Zoey and Xavier made our experience so fulfilling that we went back a few days later and we had another very positive experience thanks to our waitress Caroline. She was so friendly and we received our food in a timely manner. It was so hot and delicious. All the food we purchased from our two trips was very delicious and I'm so glad we went to try it out. Coal's is going to be a regular go to place for the food, drink, efficient bartender, and wait staff and the atmosphere was spot on. I'd definitely recommend going there and if you are lucky enough to get Xavier, Caroline, or Zoey tell them Momma T recommended you!

Whether you are dining in or carrying out this place is comfortable. It smells amazing! It seems like the people who work here are happy to be at work. Every pizza is unique. And so delicious. My absolute favorite, though, has to be the hurstborne.
