If you’re a lover of really good pizza, not just the commoditized stuff, then you’ll be excited to know there’s a pizza war about to break out in St. Matthews.

For weeks now, the painted windows of a former Snappy Tomato Pizza on Shelbyville Road have threatened a coming Spinelli’s Pizza (I stress “threatened” because Spinelli’s took years to open its second outlet on Goose Creek Rd., a delay that was largely out of the owner’s control), and an announcement was made today on LouisvilleHotbytes.com that Coal’s Artisan Pizza will open on Frankfort Ave. (in the old Vogue complex) in December.
