The Beginning
How Anthony's Pizza Was Born
It all started with a simple obsession — the perfect pizza crust. Anthony Bruno grew up watching his grandmother slide hand-stretched dough into a roaring coal oven in a small Brooklyn kitchen. The char, the chew, the unmistakable smokiness — it was unlike anything a gas or wood oven could replicate.
In 2002, Anthony brought that same obsession to Coral Springs, Florida, opening the first location of anthony's coal fired pizza. Using premium, sustainably sourced coal at temperatures exceeding 900°F, every pie emerges with a blistered crust that's crispy on the outside and pillowy within — a signature that guests from across the United States travel to experience.
Today, anthonys coal fired is more than a restaurant — it's a community gathering place where families celebrate milestones, friends share stories, and newcomers quickly become regulars.
- Coal-fired at 900°F for authentic char and flavor
- Hand-stretched dough made fresh daily from heirloom wheat
- San Marzano tomatoes and imported Italian cheeses
- Family-owned traditions upheld in every single pie
