The Authentic Taste of New Haven and New York Pizza
Step inside Tony’s Coal Fired Pizza and Slice House and you’re immediately greeted by the enticing aroma of pizza cooked in a genuine 1000-degree coal-fired oven.

The “New Yorker,” a standout offering, has even garnered international acclaim, winning the prestigious title of “World’s Best Pizza” at the International Pizza Competition in Las Vegas. This award-winning pizza, along with other New Haven and coal-fired creations, is readily available at the Slice House, making high-quality, globally recognized pizza accessible to everyone.
Tony Gemignani: A Pizza Maestro
The culinary mastermind behind Tony’s Coal Fired Pizza and Slice House is none other than Chef Tony Gemignani, the owner of the acclaimed Tony’s Pizza Napoletana. His passion for pizza and dedication to authentic techniques are evident in every slice.
Tony’s Coal Fired Pizza features an 18-inch pie with a perfectly balanced medium thickness that extends evenly from the center to the edge. The use of low-moisture mozzarella from Brooklyn stays true to the traditional style, ensuring an authentic taste that will captivate pizza lovers.
Beyond coal-fired and New Haven styles, the Slice House also offers classic New York and Sicilian style pizzas by the slice. Staying true to the New York tradition, these pizzas are generously sized at 20 inches and cut into 6 large slices. Served simply on a plate with wax paper, the New York slice is designed to be folded and enjoyed on the go, bringing a taste of the East Coast to the heart of North Beach.
