Carluccio’s Coal Fired Pizza on New Road in Northfield has been a South Jersey pizza institution since it opened, producing the coal-fired pizza with the high-heat char and blistered crust that coal ovens produce and that distinguish a genuinely coal-fired pizza from the standard deck-oven competition across Atlantic County. It appeared in Season 22, Episode 7 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Globe Tasting,” which aired March 13, 2015. Guy Fieri found a Northfield pizza kitchen doing coal-fired Italian pizza from scratch with the technique and ingredient quality that earns a suburban New Jersey restaurant its regional pizza reputation.

What to Eat
The Coal-Fired Margherita with San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil on a properly blistered crust is the benchmark — the pizza that tells you what the coal oven is doing and why the format matters. The Specialty Pies with creative toppings applied to the coal-fired crust are the option for regulars who want to go beyond the classic. The Italian Appetizers including fresh mozzarella and imported cured meats are the starters worth ordering while the pie bakes. Find a Jersey Shore hotel on Trivago.
