Our oven is perhaps the most unique thing about Nicky’s. The only coal burning oven in Tennessee, “Enrico” is the oven named after Chef Galzin’s great grandfather that immigrated from Lazio, Italy.
We use anthracite coal from Reading, Pennsylvania as our fuel source. Anthracite is clean burning (much more so than wood), and nearly smokeless. This provides a consistent heat and brightness ideal for our coal fired pies, meat, seafood, and veggies.
We try to do as much in house as possible. This not only ensures quality, but engages our staff, and allows us work with a wide range of locally sourced meats, dairy, veggies & grain.
