PrintCoal Vines Slideshow
I forgot about this photo set, but earlier this year, our web developer here at Slice–Serious Eats HQ went on a trip to Dallas and visited Coal Vines, one of America's coal-oven pizzerias not in New York or New Haven. He brought back some pix, below:

Adam, I can honestly say that the pies at Coal Vines were totally excellent, beating out a lot of New York City pizzerias I've visited.

Yeah. Thanks for posting this. I grew up in the DFW area, and checked out the Southlake location while I was home for Christmas. Amazing pizza. Everything about it was just about as good as I could hope. I loved the sauce, and the pie was cooked perfectly.

Dallas is becoming quite a Renaissance town in terms of pizza. Even though we are home to Pizza Hut, there are some great craft/artisan spots springing up all over town.
Fireside Pies (www.firesidepies.com) started it all - nice pecan wood-fired pies. Gourmet style with funky toppings. Some of their new locations also use gas flame to heat their ovens.
Campania Pizza (www.campaniapizza.com) for authentic Neapolitan style. Full disclosure - I am one of the owners! 6000 sf location in Southlake (across street from Coal Vines) with 2 oak-burning imported Italian ovens, caputo flour, and fresh fior di latte.
Coal Vines mentioned above is very good (www.coalvines.com). The sausage and pepper pizza is great.
Olivella's (www.olivellas.com) - awesome wood-fired Neapolitan place run by NY transplant Salvatore Olivella (with ties to Trianon in Napoli)
We have the Arizona chain version of Grimaldis that just opened. I haven't eaten there yet but supposed to be good although I hear they are working out kinks with the oven.
Pulcinella (www.mypulcinella.com) is supposed to open later this year as well.
So if you find yourself in the Dallas area on business...you have more than Pizza Hut, Papa Johns or Dominos in the hotel room.
