Lucky Charlie, a new Bushwick restaurant, features one of America’s oldest coal ovens from 1890, which Chef Nino Coniglio claims allows him to craft unparalleled pizzas. The oven can reach 650 Fahrenheit in under three minutes, providing a crispy crust and expertly toasted toppings. The restaurant’s interior pays homage to Italian heritage with deep hues and a communal dining ethos, inviting patrons to share dishes. Coniglio’s personal connection to the oven and the restaurant's design reflects a familial approach to dining, encouraging community and togetherness.
Chef Nino Coniglio emphasizes his unique pizza-making capabilities, stating, "I own 12 pizzerias, no matter what I do... I can't make pizzas like I can make in here," highlighting the special qualities imparted by the coal oven.
The coal oven at Lucky Charlie, a relic from 1890, reaches temperatures of 650 Fahrenheit in three minutes, creating blistering flames that ensure pizzas have a perfectly crispy crust.
The restaurant's atmosphere reflects Coniglio's Italian heritage, with decor reminiscent of old prohibition bars, promoting a sense of community with the motto "everyone is famiglia."
The design and menu invite sharing, as noted on the back of the restaurant's menu: "Everything on the menu is meant to be shared amongst your table, or shared with the table next to you."
