DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Daytona Beach's first coal-fired pizza joint is scheduled to open its doors next month!
Sam's Coal Fired Pizza started out during the COVID-19 pandemic as a frozen pizza company that shipped its pies nationwide – and it even got recognition from Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy, who rated it a whopping 8.4 in his popular pizza review series.
"This is good s***," Portnoy said in his May 2020 review.

The company's first brick and mortar location is slated to open on April 2 after a months-long renovation at 817 East International Speedway Blvd. in Daytona Beach.
Owner Sam Tadros told FOX 35 he's thrilled to be opening a restaurant underneath the "World's Most Famous Beach" sign.
"This is a significant milestone for our brand and a testament to the hard work and collaboration between the city of Daytona and our team," he said.
