How Anthony's Pizza Began
Anthony's coal fired pizza was born from a single, unwavering vision: to bring the ancient art of coal-fired cooking to everyday diners across the United States. Founded by Anthony himself in 2003, our first location in Fair Lawn, NJ, quickly became a neighborhood landmark, drawing guests from miles around for its distinctive char, bold flavors, and warm hospitality.
The secret behind every pizza, wing, and side dish at anthony's coal fired pizza is our coal-fired oven, which burns at over 800°F. This intense heat creates a perfectly crispy crust with a slightly smoky depth that no conventional oven can replicate. It's a technique passed down through generations of Italian-American tradition and honored in every dish we serve.
"Coal-fired cooking is not just a method — it's a philosophy of patience, craft, and respect for the ingredients. Every pizza that leaves our oven tells that story."
Over two decades later, Anthony's coal fired pizza continues to be a gathering place where families celebrate, friends reconnect, and food lovers discover something truly special. We remain committed to the same quality, consistency, and passion that made us famous.
