Short History About Coal Burning Ovens

When Italian immigrants settled in NYC & Philadelphia in the early 1900’s, there was only Coal to burn to create great amounts of heat. Unlike Italy where they used wood from the forests. So as they say, the old timers built Coal Ovens, and now America has a fascination with the pizza produced from Coal Ovens, and Luigi has decided to bring you the taste of Naples & The great Original Pizzerias of NYC.
