About Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza — Passion in Every Slice
Anthony's coal fired pizza brings authentic, bold flavors to United States through a time-honored tradition of coal-fired cooking. Since our founding, we have crafted every pizza with the same passion, quality ingredients, and commitment to the craft that defines who we are.
How Anthony's Pizza Became a Beloved Tradition
It all began with Anthony's pizza — a simple dream to bring the authentic taste of coal-fired cooking to families across the United States. Anthony grew up watching his grandfather tend the coal-fired oven in a small family kitchen in New York, where every pizza emerged with that unmistakable smoky crust and perfectly charred edge that only coal-fired heat can produce.
Driven by that memory, Anthony opened his first location in Carle Place, NY in 2004. From day one, the philosophy was clear: use only the freshest ingredients, never compromise on technique, and treat every guest like family. Word spread fast, and what started as a neighborhood spot quickly became a destination for pizza lovers across the region.
