Coal Vines
Dear Food Enthusiast,
Let’s Talk About Coal Vines
So, here’s the deal—if you’re rolling into Plano and you’re starving, do yourself a favor and hit up Coal Vines. It’s right there on Lone Star Drive, and I don’t want to say it’s a hidden gem, but you’re definitely not looking in the wrong place. It’s got this vibe that’s like a cross between your buddy’s cool living room and a classic Italian place. You know the type: dark wood, maybe a couple of pizza ovens smoldering like it’s a Saturday night at a barbecue joint.
Signature Dishes
Now, let’s get to the food, which should be the main event, right? First off, their pizzas are cooked in a coal fire brick oven. Yes, folks, coal. Who knew it was still a thing? You bite into one of those, and you realize you’ve been doing pizza wrong your whole life. They’ve got everything from Margherita to more adventurous toppings, but listen, if you don’t get the pepperoni pizza, I don’t know what to tell you.
The Wine and Service
The wine list? Solid! You’re not drowning in choices, but it’s got enough variety to make you feel fancy. And the service? Let me tell you, there’s no snooty attitude here. Just some folks who look like they actually enjoy slinging good food and drink your way. It’s like they understand that you just want to have a good meal without the pretense of a 5-star Michelin experience.
A Bit of History
Coal Vines, originally sprung from local roots, has been feeding folks for a while now. They’ve got this steady stream of lunchtime regulars and evening diners who come for the Italian favorites (think homemade pastas, too), all while feeling like they’re just chillin’ at a friend’s place. That’s the kind of vibe you want when you’re lounging over Sunday lunch and they’re serving up slices of happiness.
Why You Should Go
In short, if you’re in the area and can’t make it to Italy, do yourself a favor and get some slices at Coal Vines—trust me, you won’t regret it. And hey, if you’re feeling adventurous after your pizza, there’s another solid place nearby you might like: Villa Azur. Cheers!
Bon Appétit!
