Specializing in pan pizza, owner John Nealon says the bottom of his crust is crisp, the crust is chewy, and the center is light and airy. He has the classics like cheese and pepperoni, plus signature pizzas like a sweet potato pie with spicy maple syrup, marshmallows, mascarpone and bacon; as well as a fried chicken pie with pimento cheese and green goddess sauce. Other offerings include salads, meatballs, mozzarella sticks, spaghetti and gnocchi. CRUST ME.
Coals restaurant is delighted to be a part of the Norwalk community and to be recognized as a Norwalk business that matters. The Coals concept was actually born in the Bronx, NY but has expanded over time to touch the local neighborhoods that reflect the life stories of its owners. While Coals began in the birth place of its head chef and founder, Bill Etzel, it later opened an outpost in Portland, Maine where Etzel has a summer home and extended family. Not to be outdone, his partner, Nick Restaino, was eager to share coals’ innovative and flavorful menu with his Norwalk neighbors. While a Bronx natïve, Restaino and his wife Blanca moved to Norwalk approximately 15 years ago and have become entrenched in the fun vibe and communal atmosphere that characterizes the town. (Coals can also be found in Bronxville, NY as it aims to reach out to all those hungry for an amazing grilled pizza experience. Its third partner, Joseph Rossi is a born and bred in Westchester County.) He has 30 years experience in the hospitality business, operating high end Catering venues. Joseph has restaurant management and executive chef on his resume.
The main item featured on the restaurant’s menu is the grilled pizza which has been featured on social media, television, radio and in national print for its unique texture, sweetly roasted tomatoes, imported cheeses and ever changing seasonal toppings. The award winning burgers and wings are not to be overlooked, however, as they often get just as many kudos. Exceptional salads and distinctive desserts are complemented by a changing list of craft beers, wine and house created cocktails.
Coals has always been about creating a community within the restaurant that is representative of and collaborative with its surrounding geographical space. Even prior to opening its doors in Norwalk, the owners developed relationships with surrounding businesses and they frequent many shops on a regular basis. Etzel, Restaino, and Rossi can be found picking up fresh ingredients from a few select purveyors almost daily. They look to Ace Hardware and Staples to make sure the restaurant is patron-ready and supplies are on hand.
