Uptown Charlotte Welcomes King of Fire Pizza!
Hey there, pizza lovers! If you’re in Charlotte, there’s some freshly baked news that’s just too delicious to miss. King of Fire, the beloved wood-fired pizza food truck, has officially rolled into its first permanent spot in the heart of Uptown, and it’s ready to serve you mouthwatering slices for lunch! This newly opened restaurant is located at 435 S Tryon St STE 140 and is set to become your go-to lunch destination.
Meet the Pizzaiolo
Now, for those of you who might not already know, let’s talk about the man behind the dough—Silar Chapman. He’s not just your average pizza maker; he’s a true hero in the culinary world! Chapman is the winner of the prestigious Trofeo Caputo Cup in Italy, specifically in the Traditional American Division. And if you’re looking for gluten-free options, you’re in luck! Chapman has also snagged awards for his gluten-free crusts. Talk about versatility!
From Truck to Table
So, what’s new at this uptown location? Well, while you might associate King of Fire with its iconic wood-fired pizzas cooked in a truck, there’s a little change for the brick-and-mortar setup. This time, the pizzas will be cooked in electric ovens. Don’t worry though! According to Chapman, the technology allows them to cook at the same high temperatures, ensuring that you still get that delicious flavor you know and love. “We can do more volume in the electric ovens,” Chapman explained, and that means quicker service for you during those busy lunch hours!
Delicious Offerings Await
What’s on the menu, you ask? Oh, just a lineup of highly recommended pies that you absolutely won’t want to miss. For starters, consider trying La Regina. This lavish pizza features a mix of red sauce, soppressata piccante, arugula, prosciutto, Piave cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It’s a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds!
Not in the mood for pizza? Don’t fret! King of Fire is also serving an array of salads. You can choose from a classic Caesar, a refreshing House salad, or the delightful Apple Orchard salad. This last one is a perfect mix of seasonal apples, mixed greens, feta cheese, dried cranberries, and candied pecans. Yum!
Catch Up While You Munch
What’s also great about this new spot is the laid-back atmosphere. You can take a breather during your lunch break and catch up on ESPN or the news while savoring your delicious pizza. It’s the perfect way to recharge and add a little flavor to your day!
