The Art of Coal-Fired Pizza: Why Our Brick Oven Makes All the Difference
At Vito’s Coal Fired Pizza & Restaurant in St Clair PA, we take pride in perfecting the art of coal-fired pizza. Our brick oven doesn’t just bake—it transforms each pie into a bold, flavorful experience rooted in Italian tradition. The secret isn’t just the ingredients—it’s the time-honored process that brings everything together.
Intense Heat and a Brick Oven Creates Vito’s Perfect Crust Every Day
Our coal-fired brick oven reaches temperatures over 900°F. That intense heat crisps the crust in under three minutes, locking in moisture while creating a light char that enhances flavor. The result? A crust that’s crispy on the outside, airy on the inside, and never soggy.
Coal-Fired Cooking Adds an Irreplaceable Smoky Flavor to Italian Dishes
We use anthracite coal, known for its clean burn and consistent heat. Unlike gas or wood, coal leaves a distinctive smoky character that ovens can’t replicate. Every slice carries that subtle smokiness—a flavor that instantly connects you to authentic Neapolitan roots.
Taste How Tradition Meets Quality at Every Step of the Pizza Process at Vito’s
We allow our dough to ferment for 48 hours to develop depth. Our sauce uses San Marzano tomatoes imported from Italy. Our cheese is always fresh, never frozen. We hand-toss every pizza and place it directly on the brick surface for a flawless bake. These traditional methods don’t just preserve authenticity—they ensure quality in every bite.
Vito’s Coal-Fired Pizza Is the Soul of Italian Cuisine
Brick oven pizza remains a symbol of Italian culinary heritage. It speaks to simplicity, quality ingredients, and the mastery of heat. At Vito’s, we honor that tradition and serve every customer a slice of the Old World—without shortcuts or compromises.
