Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I think Anthonys Coal Fired Pizza needs to change their name to Anthony's burnt to a crisp pizza. We went to Anthonys last night. It was about a 20 minute wait for two, which we expected so we sat at the bar and grabbed a drink. The bartender was excellent. We were sat much quicker than 20 minutes. Our server wasn't very friendly & seemed annoyed to be taking care of us. We ordered a small order of wings and Philly cheesesteak pizza. The wings came out fast....but unfortunately over half of our wings were burnt beyond recongition. Completely black, inedible wings. Disgusting. The wings that weren't burnt were great. When our pizza came, our server asked if we wanted to take home the rest of our wings & we pointed out that they weren't edible. Our sever responded "oh, sorry you don't like then well done". No, I don't like my food burnt. If I wanted my food burnt, I would have tried to cook at home myself. Our pizza was pretty good, there was one piece that was really burnt but other cooked perfect. I'd give Anthonys 2.5 stars because our server and the awful disgusting wings. We would give them another try, but would absolutely skip the wings.

I was here for work and was eating late take out behind the hotel I see Anthonys pizza. I ordered a pie for pickup mushroom/sausage/light sauce. Excellent pizza, not New York but, I like a variety of pizza not a NY pizza Snob. The pizza was very good, I like the burnt flavor and it is not overly done. Plus, BIG PLUS, Peroni on tap, I ended up eating in to have a couple. Great place. Have tried a couple of them now, they seem to be consistent across the chain.
(4)Dina S.
So I came here to kill some time before an ariving fleight. I was alone, I sat at the bar. The customer service provided by Melissa, my bartender was exceptional. Also, even other customer that she serviced If I am ever in the areaa again, I would come back just for the service. Being from the industry o am very critical. The food was ok, filling. I wish I was with a bigger crud to try the pizza Great job Melissa, I heart customer service
(5)Kim D.
Starting with the kid at the curb saying "get the wings" to great service inside and the BEST coal fired pie EVER! Truly one destination not to be missed!!
(5)Rob H.
Just amazing, as a native New Yorker very picky about pizza. The pizza was as good as if not better than home. Wait staff just as good too. And as an added bonus, craft beers on tap!
(5)Marcelo P.
cons: The pizza and chicken wings served burned why? who knows Pros: price and quality products.

For a pizza place, this place tops all others in Broward County. We have been to a few Pizza places since we moved here but this place absolutely takes the cake. Our friend Chris brought us here for dinner before heading to a show in Miami. He said we had to get the Italian salad with gorgonzola, chicken wings, the spicy ribs and the tomato and mozzarella pizza. We ordered those plus a small white pizza. It was a little too much food in the end but the guys were all really hungry. Chris was right about all of his choices. Everything was delicious. There is a reason so many people talk about the chicken wings and taken pictures of them. The wings are cooked perfectly with a crispy skin on the outside, seasoned well and the meat falls right of the bone. This is also the case with the Ribs. I don't know why there are not more pictures of these ribs!!!! Some may be afraid to eat them because it says they are spicy! The ribs are not overly spicy or overly seasoned but they have a perfect spice to them and taste incredible. I will be going back for the spiced Ribs and chicken wings!! The ribs were cooked so perfect and I love that they were not bbq!!! The service was good. They serve wine and beer. They have a more limited menu but they cook everything on their menu to perfection! The food was worth every penny!! Around 6:00pm they start to get busy.
(5)Troy I.
I like this place and usually get a pepperoni pizza and a glass of red wine. Last week, I got the cauliflower pizza. It has a strong flavor and was excellent. Also, check in on FourSquare and get 4 excellent free chicken wings while you await your order.
(4)Wendy L.
We live in Scottsdale, AZ. We came to Fort Lauderdale to visit family and took a chance on the ratings of Anthony Coal Fire Pizza. It is simply amazing. My boyfriend is from New Jersey and said he hasn't had pizza this good anywhere but NJ/NY. I highly recommend this place if your looking for great pizza! BTW, the service was top notch as well.
(5)Jim N.
Love me some good pizza and beer..but need to watch the waistline. My buddy and i broke down and went one friday night for a pizza and a few beers. the waitress was awesome, service was excellent, pizza was fantastic and the beer...well it was cold :) and mighty fine. While we were waiting for the pizza, we asked the waitress about the wings. She described them and we said we wold try them the next time. When she came back with our net round of beer, she brought four wings and said "here try these and let me know what you think" Wow, give her a raise, they were awesome but she was spot-on. Love this place. It is just a little noisy - but thats because everyone is having fun and i am an old fart :)
(4)Adam H.
Went here for lunch one day before we went on our cruise. We walked right in and was seated. We ordered one of the signature pizzas that had meat balls, goat cheese and hot peppers. It was really tasty. Service was good however a weird thing is all the drinks come in bottles. So if you get anything other than water you will be purchasing more drinks...I would recommend this place to anyone wanting great pizza.
(4)Erick R.
I have always thought of Anthony's Coal Fire as a place for a great pie. Never did I imagine that I would now visit during lunch hours for one of the tastiest Chicken Sandwiches ever presented to me. The Coal Fired Chicken Sandwich is really something to have at least once a week, it also does not hurt that the lunch service is exceptional! When out for lunch one wants to be greeted politely and also served quickly without giving up any quality service. This is the place to go for a weekly treat!
(4)Dave F.
I enjoyed the the pizza served at Anthony's. I thought the toppings were plentiful and had a great flavor. The small pizza works to two people and the large pizza is very large, Salad was good, but nothing special. Sodas are by the bottle, so refills you'll be charged. I agree that additional parking would be nice during peak time, I lucked out, but can see that being an issue.
(4)John K.
If you like wood-fired pizza then chances are you'll love pizza cooked with coal. It's very similar except that the coal is a lot hotter than wood so you get a crunchy crust that is beyond comparison. I love this place. Doesn't Dan Marino own part of the business???? Go PITT! ;)
(5)Gio L.
I can't believe it. Maybe it is a conversion. Here I am a Sicilian scoffing at these thin crust friends on Yelp. Nevertheless I had no choice but to order thin. Wow! I'm impressed. But it wasn't just the thin crust. Every ingredient was fresh and it came through in the flavor. I don't think they own a freezer. The menu seemed restricted at first but it creates a focus on simple Italian food. I loved it. Can't wait to return on my next trip. Thanks
(4)Serena M.
Only thing that sucks is the parking. They REALLY need to fix that. Luckily, I live really close, so that's not an issue. But this place is really, really busy pretty much every night.
(5)Cassie T.
Absolutely my favorite pizza place! This is the first location they had and it is my favorite I get the salad with tuna. Ficattia bread. Chicken wings. Meat balls... And pizza yum
(5)Michael P.
So glad they expanded this location adding more tables. The food is consistently great. Probably the best broccoli robe I've ever tasted. The pizza is to die for and the beer selection is fantastic. To top it off, the service is always on point.
(5)Scott W.
I love their pizza and the simple concept: coal-fired pizza, salads and craft beers. So much so, that I would open an outpost in Evanston in a heartbeat (if only I had the cash and restaurant management experience). The sausage and mushroom pie is something I crave every time I visit South Florida. The crust is spectacular: thin, chewy, crispy/burnt in spots, the right balance of salt and doughy-ness. The sauce is sweet and flavorful. The house salad has a nice variety of ingredients and the house dressing is delish. The place is usually busy, but tables move quickly. So waiting on the comfy patio out front is never an issue. Anthony's is great for the whole family. I have but one negative: sodas and ice tea from a bottle. Would it kill them to have fresh brewed tea?
(5)Joseph A.
I've tried just about all the pizza in S. Florida and without question , Anthony's is the best. The pies come out of the coal fire oven piping hot. The crust is thin and very crispy, charred on the bottom and edges. There's the perfect amount of cheese and toppings. Being a traditionalist, I like cheese the best with a side of sauce. The salads and wings are top notch, too. The service is always friendly and prompt. Be patient since you'll probably have to wait for a table. If you're in Ft Lauderdale be sure and give Anthony's a try.
(5)Greg B.
We had pizza, the egg plant one. It was so delicious. We stared with a caprese and it was the best have had. Will definitely eat here again.
(4)Diane H.
5 stars because I can't possibly think of why there should be anything less than 5 stars! Service was GREAT. I actually went on Halloween and the servers were all dressed up so that was cute. My mad hatter from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland kept coming back to make sure we were good. He have us good recommendations for drinks and food, boxed our food and served us the first slice of pizza! My friend also has four square so he checked into that and got a free plate of their oven baked wings. Oh yesss they ARE as good as everyone says! Very crispy on the outside (without any batter needed!) and soft and juicy on the inside. We split a large pizza (OMG it's hugeeeee) and got the sausage, rabe, and roasted garlic pizza for one half. And the other was the meatballs, sausage and ricotta with hot peppers. Literally, STRIPS of jalapeño. So spicy but so good! And because it's wood fired baked pizza, the crust and the bottom of the pizza were crispy mmm so good. We also got their drink recommendations. My friend got a pumpkin beer which they served in a glass rimmed with sugared pumpkin spice mmmm! I got their strawberry Bellini! Very delicious but not strong at all! Def coming back
(5)Mindy B.
AMAZING PIZZA. AMAZING SERVICE. AMAZING EVERYTHING. I was here for Vacation and was craving pizza. I drove past this place and had to try it. As soon as we sat down we were serviced right away and the wait time was super fast. The pizza was so goooood. Any time that I visit Fort Lauderdale.. I'm coming here.
(5)Stacy D.
Love the Paul young and Ron pizza it's the best. The baked wings and salad are amazing too! No delivery which I really wish they had but it's worth picking up. They should really consider doing delivery this is the only reason I chose 4 stars instead of 5.
(4)J S.
Only came because we wanted pizza and searched on Yelp. Had to drive for a while to get here, but was not disappointed. Great pizza, great service. The place was busy, but there was adequate parking. We love wood fired pizza and this was definitely in the top ten. Server was great, price was reasonable. Definitely give it a try and keep coming back.
(5)Harry S.
Last night I wanted to try something different so I ordered the Long Hot Meatball Mozzarella Sandwich and I really enjoyed it but the name of it is quite confusing. Long Hot refers to the very spicy but oh soooo good hot peppers that are in the sandwich and if you know me you know I loved it hot. In the menu description it says it's on focaccia it's more like a piece of folded over pizza crust it's good but I was expecting focaccia. The only reason I didn't give this a five star rating is needed more mozzarella they kinda skimped on the cheese. Still a great change of pace I would order it again and hope they add a bit more cheese..
(4)Melissa I.
My husband and I recently came here for dinner. We ordered a salad and pizza. The service was excellent and the pizza was delicious. Highly recommend. Can get crowded but they have a parking lot across the street.
(5)Zhen C.
Pizza is always amazing. My favorites are the meatball & ricotta and the sauge and brocolini. The pizzas are coal fired thin so its the plentiful of thick toppings that fill you up. Chicken wings and meatballs are also really good. The one time they messed up my order, they comped me a few meatballs, salad, and a $10 coupon for the next visit. All these times have been take ou, ive yet to dine inside, but overall looks like a great atmosphere and a good place for a date.
(5)Robin E.
Tried Anthony's for the first time tonight, carryout. I was disappointed. My husband picked up the pizza and brought it home, and it was merely okay. Perhaps it's more of a dine-in experience? There are so many incredible little pizza joints in the area, and I honestly thought this pizza would rock my world, what with all the reviews. The ingredients seemed to be quality, the dough was good, and the sauce had a nice flavor as well. However, this pizza did not "wow" me. We also ordered a salad, but the dressing provided was nothing more than a small container of olive oil. As a first time consumer, I don't think I'll be returning any time soon.
(2)Mike L.
The pizza was not bad at all, but I have to say the server was by far the most miserable person I have ever encountered in any restaurant I have ever been to, anywhere! This made my review of what would have been 4 stars a 3. The manager was not much better - he eyeballed me like I was dressed funny or a big cow - while he looked at me, he was talking to another server and laughing. Not a good thing to do in a restaurant. I am not insecure, nor am I paranoid, it was just a very weird situation that only got worse as the time passed. The hostess, on the other hand, could not have been sweeter and would do well as a server that's for sure. I had the Margherita Pizza which was very good - the baked chicken wings looked very good, but I don't usually go to an Italian place for wings, unless it's chicken limone, so I opted for a pizza - the house Salad was excellent! I love Chick peas and the dressing and hard boiled egg made it a perfect 10! I realize everyone has a bad day, God knows I have had my share, but guess what, SNAP OUT OF IT! When I asked when we were first seated if she was mad or is there something wrong, she simply replied, "I'm serious and just want to make sure the order is correct"......sorry, but this is not an attorney/client consultation, this is a RESTAURANT where people want to go so they don't have to eat at home, so aside from getting the order correct, the JOB of the server is to make them feel COMFORTABLE and WELCOMED - Not a bother. She never smiled once and I felt very uncomfortable the entire time. She also passed our table 4 times and looked at my empty glass of water each time - I was only drinking water with my meal so I was very thirsty after 20 minutes. I had to wave down another waiter for a refill, even though he brought the pitcher to his table only and also never bothered to fill any empty glasses on his way back to the bar area. I am not a hard person to please. You have to be REALLY be a bad server to piss me off. She did that to me. I am positive they will do well without my cash and this place is certainly a gold mine without a doubt. I am certain they are going to expand towards the East into the vacant spaces because they are so busy and successful but hell will freeze before I ever go back - Sorry, I just can't do it.
(3)Brian L.
No need to do a lengthy review. The pizzas are awesome. While the coal-fire creates a great pizza, I really like the oil that you can taste on the outer edges of the pizza. The ricotta topping is a sleeper and worth a try. I did try the new addition of the cauliflower pizza. I was not won over by it. It is a white pizza topped with Anthony's cauliflower (the same cauliflower you find at Runway 84) and garlic. It is not bad, but just seems to be missing one ingredient to make it really satisfying and something you want to order every time. The winner in mind my is the tuna sandwich. This is a sleeper menu item. The sandwich, which is wrapped in the same bread that makes the pizza crust, is filled with arugula and tuna (packed in oil, not water). The combination of the bitter leaf with the tuna packed in oil is a killer combination. I can't think of much that is not good here. The wings are great, the ribs are great, and of course the ice cold salad with Gorgonzola is awesome. If you are going here for a work day lunch, be sure to consider some of the new lunch items, like the individual pizza. It is more than enough for lunch and is a bargain at roughly $8.
(4)Carlo V.
We had a great server, her name Christina I think, she was fun and suggested great tasting dishes, the eggplant appetizer was yummy, cocktails good, the pizza very good. I would certainly go back here
(4)Molly C.
My husband and I LOVE Anthony's, especially the Fort Lauderdale location. Every time we go, we are treated like family. The food is fantastic (especially the salad) and the service is wonderful! Melissa is our favorite server; she is very accommodating and so much fun. She always knows exactly what we want before we even order! Jeremy, the manager, has always made us feel so welcome. We truly enjoy eating here, and we do often. Even the busboy and hostess always have a smile on their face! We are thankful for a place that offers GREAT food and GREAT service (which is hard to find in Fort Lauderdale!).
(5)Jason P.
This place could be four stars, but the chicken was dry, and the pizza just seemed to have the ingredients thrown on. Some bites had way to much, others had nothing. They nail the crust, and sauce, but came up short because they just threw it together. Also step up and serve fountain drinks.
(3)Matt L.
Stopped in at around 9 PM on a Wednesday night. Saw on Yelp that it was close to my hotel and it had good reviews. I was starving and I had been driving all day so pizza was sounding real good. Sat at the near empty bar ordered a beer from Melissa and a pepperoni and sausage pizza. Its not a huge restaurant and is in a small strip mall, but the inside was nice and lots of friendly people there, even at 9 PM. Pizza came quickly which I made me happy. Now I love coal-fired pizza and have tried many different types. This may not be the best I've ever had but it was a good solid coal-fired pizza. Excellent sauce. Good crust. Quality toppings. Very good pizza and I will try them again next time I'm back in town. Melissa was very friendly too.
(5)Claudia J.
After seeing Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in Pinecrest, we were in the Fort Lauderdale area. We decided to give it a try. I can say people in Fort Lauderdale eat early, we were there around 7pm and there was a line to wait!!! wow!!! Of course, we started checking out the menu, it is very limited, which is good in a way. The limited menu they have that means they can't mess up much of it. They specialize in doing what they know WHAT to do! For two people we ordered an Italian Salad withought Gorgonzola cheese. The salad was great, all the ingredients were fresh, the only vegetable that taste like can was the chick peas. Lettuce was fresh, onions, tomatoes, kalamtta olives, yum yum. But the salad was a bit tart because of the dressing, a bit too tartish for me. We also ordered a small pizza, we thought it was enough for 2 people. It was plenty of food for 2 people. Next table were also 2 people, they had the salad, chicken wings (apparently they are famous for these - next time will try!) and a pizza. The pizza was yummi, but the prosciutto was extremely salty. Yes, I understand prosciutto is supposed to be salty, but it was a bit over the top. Would I go back, yes I would. But I have tried better pizzas. I might go back for the baked chicken wings!!!
(3)Angie C.
San Franciscans stranded at Ft Lauderdale airport with a 3.5 hour flight delay? We skittered off to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, a $10 cab ride away to the most happening and delicious pizza joint in Fort Lauderdale. Service was brusque and efficient, perfect for us. The salad with gorgonzola for two was indeed very filling, fresh, and topped with a tart Italian dressing! We shared a broccoli rabe and Italian sausage pizza with added mushrooms -- it was arrived piping hot and was as tasty as could be. (And this is coming from a non-pizza enthusiast.) The place is charming and you get fed quickly, inexpensively, and happily to boot. We also found that since we arrived by taxi cab, it sure beats finding parking in Anthony's tiny parking lot filled with large trucks and two gargantuan Hummer vehicles. If I'm ever stuck in Florida again, I'm coming back and trying some of the coal-fired spare ribs or wings -- they sound delish!
(5)Deven B.
I love this place. We go here all the time because they have the best pizza in town. Coal fired pizza that's always "Well Done" as their motto goes. I usually get half eggplant & riccota and half meatball & riccotta. The large is enough for up to three and the salads are enough for four. And because it's so good it's just as popular - always a wait and they don't take reservations *GRR. Their drink selection is very limited, too. BEST PIZZA IN FORT LAUDERDALE.
(4)Asif W.
Excellent Italian pies. Fresh, simply ingredients executed magnificently by way of Coal Fire Oven. Awesome.
(5)David And Jill S.
The service was efficient and friendly. Our order was taken right away, food was delivered promptly, drinks refilled & plates cleared immediately in between courses. Definitely have to try the wings...they are char-grilled and come with caramelized onions & focaccia. Pizza was good...fresh ingredients although crust is definitely well done. We ordered small wings & small pizza and still couldn't finish everything.
(4)Dave G.
Thank goodness I don't live close to this place. I don't know how the neighbors can deal with that wonderful smell of coal fired pizza wafting through the air at all times. Even after devouring one of their delicious pies as we were walking to the parking lot across the street, that smell made me want to turn around and walk right back through the door like a moth to a flame. I've eaten at some of the best pizza spots in New York, like Lombardi's and Grimaldi's. My standards for true coal oven pizza are pretty high. Anthony's is pretty darn good. Although not quite as good as those two, it's just a hair below it. And that's nothing to be ashamed of. We ordered a pie with quite a few toppings. I knew this would be a risk with such a thin crust, but I just couldn't make up my mind on what to leave out. We had pepperoni, sausage, meatball, mushroom, and sweet peppers, topped with fresh shredded basil. What I didn't expect was how much of each of those toppings they would put on. Usually on a thin crust there is only so much surface space and that limits your toppings. Anthony's thinks in 3 dimensions. Just pile toppings on top of toppings. The result was that we needed a knife and fork for this pie. I recommend just picking a couple of toppings or perhaps having them make half the pie one way and half the other. The problem is, what do you leave off, they were all so good. Perhaps the meatballs. Rather than slices of meatball that laid down flat they were more like mini meatballs. They were good, but didn't really add anything to the pie. The sweet peppers were green and red bell peppers that had been marinated ahead of time. The mushrooms were sauteed first with lots of garlic before being put on the pie. The pepperoni was fairly crunchy, with very little grease. It made me wonder if it too had been cooked ahead of time. But perhaps it was just their extremely hot oven that crisped it up. As with any great cooking, each ingredient tasted great on it's own. So many places just throw stuff on a pie and think it will just cook in the few minutes it is in the oven. With so many toppings the cheese got kind of lost. I saw some pizzas coming out with melted fresh mozzarella on it, just like some of those famous New York pies have. I assumed that all their pizzas were made with that, but not so. I will go that route next time. Their sauce was nice and tomatoey with small pieces of tomato that hadn't been pureed. The thin crust got a little soggy in the middle because of all of the toppings, but the outside ring had a nice char to it. That's the signature flavor of a coal oven pizza. This location is the original, but Anthony's has become a chain and is expanding fast out of Florida and into other states. This is usually where pizza and all restaurants for that matter, start to slip. If they can pull it off, they would be the first to bring that New York pizza taste, to the rest of the country. Living in Los Angeles, I hope they make it out that way soon. I and the rest of my LA yelping friends will be waiting for them. Oh and one more note...this location is loud loud loud. It may be easier to text each other than talk. Not a good date spot unless you just want to nod with a silly grin on your face and pretend you heard what your date said, then ask a question that they just gave you the answer to....."so that's how I came to move from New York"....."Oh....so where are you from?"
(5)Sebastian R.
Good atmosphere. Good service. We ordered salad and Anthony's traditional pizza and we got an okay salad, and about 3 1/2 lbs of salt... in the form of pizza dough, with tomato sauce and cheese on top. What a salty surprise! I'd recommend exploring other places.
(2)Daniel M.
This place should really be called "Anthony's Coal Fired Wings, and Pizza." The wings are frankly delicious. They're marinated in rosemary, chargrilled, poured over focaccia, and then covered with caramelized onions. Tasty wings, sweet onions, and fresh bread. I am already jonesing for them, and there's no location near me. It may get so bad that I'll have to walk back to Lauderdale, but I hear there's a location in New Jersey, so maybe I'll walk there. Mucho thanks to the Yelpers who recommended this place and the wings. We also ordered a cheese pizza and the meatballs. Pizza was fine. For the experts out there, it's Jersey restaurant style as opposed to pizzeria. (The latter has more cheese and a little thicker crust.) It was very good, but as I said--it's the wings. The meatballs were large, covered in a fresh red sauce and served with dollops of creamy ricotta. They were well done, high quality, but strange in this sense. I took my first bite, and (I'm not exaggerating) I thought, "Hmm, Chef Boyardee." Really. Imagine what the original Boyardee might have served in his restaurant a zillion years ago, and that's what they taste like. I mentioned this out loud, and my son said, "My God Dad, you're right!" Did I mention the wings? Oh, there are ribs too. We didn't order them, but if they are anything close to the wings, I might feel a tear coming on. Somewhere in one of these reviews, I waxed poetic about how wings should be cooked. Sometimes it's great to be wrong.
(5)Andrew K.
Solid pizza, wings, sides. Meatball and ricotta pizza was my fave. Wing order was unique and huge.
(3)Talia G.
I really love bringing guests here because it has such a "neighborhood" feel to it. In a time where most venues cater to the touristy spenders, this place really makes an effort to have you come back. The menu is limited - but you go there knowing what you're ordering: awesome salad + super thin pizza + tasty chicken wings. It seems that people either love or hate charcoal pizza. Lucky for me I love it :) Sharing a large house salad and a pizza is a great, not too heavy dinner for 2. The wine menu offers a good variety and range of prices. They have some really good inexpensive bottles. This is a popular place, so you might have to wait a bit to get seated.
(4)Jenna F.
Love this place. For something different, try the Roasted Califlower pizza. My husband and I were skeptics ... So GOOD!

Close to perfect pizza All the elements: crust, sauce, cheese, toppings, well balanced. In the end, a hot oven makes the difference

Pizza is probably in the top 5 pizza's I have ever tasted. Deliciously sweet sauce, great cheese, and the sausage and spices were to die for. Their wings were also a special treat. I was thinking just your standard wings, but they were covered with onions and a great amount of flavor. Salad also delivered with fresh ingredients and a great dressing. Was out in FL for a week and hit this place up 2 times....missing it already.

We stopped here while overnighting near the airport based on recommendations from Yelp... and once again, Yelpers steered me in the right direction! The place was packed on a Tuesday night at 8 pm. We sat outside for about 20 minutes before getting a table. But once we got in, service was quick and efficient and we were in and out by a bit after 9. Our shared salad was huge - despite being a huge veggie eater (my companion, not so much), we barely made a dent it in. We then split a large pizza. I loved the woodfired style and toppings, like on the salad, were plentiful. We left stuffed and satisfied. I'll definitely return the next time I'm back in Fort Lauderdale for the night.

You can sit at a table, bar or host a tailgate party.. not sure about tailgate party yet. But the bar is a good spot for a solo traveller. Lots of special bottled beers and the staff know their beer. Pizza was amazing good ingredients, mushrooms that tasted like mushrooms and tasty cheese.. I really good pizza. On a proper coal fired oven. Now when I went in it was middle week and a little quite the Air-Con was join over time it was about 15/16 degrees centigrade in there and the air was blowing right down on the bar where my pizza sat.. By the time I had my last slice the pizza was cold. Which is a shame beacuse it tasted great hot..(So I downgraded this from 4 star to 3 star) I did tell the lady and she agreed, she said when its quiet it always gets cooler in there on a busy Ball Game or Fri/Sat night it apparently gets warmer and so your pizza doesn't freeze. Seems like someone can't control the AIr-Con? One table outside to eat at or just get a takeout.

Good pizza and wings. Not real fast but not slow. Nice selections of beer and wine. I will go again if I am in town.
(3)John H.
Omg. I said it again. Coal fired pizza. Roasted cauliflower? Who woulda thunk it? Hot peppers weren't so hot. Coal fired chicken wings? Who woulda thunk that? (Yea i said it again) Served over baked foccacia with carmalized onions. Sry pizza king I gots a new favorite. but after some deliberation, i think my version at home is better, tho my crust is not. add caramelized onions, grilled chicken and now we're talking!
(5)Ashley H.
This place is pretty unbelievable if you like coal-fired pizza. The bottom will be smoky because of the cooking method, but it's amazing. I would eat here again any time. I would definitely recommend take-out to avoid the wait, however. The one time we did eat in the restaurant, the service was fine. It wasn't loud, but we were there early. I'd imagine that it would be loud at peak times. Anyway, it's amazing. I love it. Best pizza in town!

Friggin Philly Cheesesteak pizza. That is all. =)

Wow. Ok, if you have followed any of my reviews, you must know that I'm a bit of a pizza fanatic. I am in Fort Lauderdale for meetings, so my coworkers and I stopped into Anthony's after I saw all the great Yelp reviews. And oh, Yelpers, you were so right!!!! The pizza is absolutely fantastic. I think it might be at the top of my list. The mozzarella-tomato-basil pizza (no sauce) was hands-down the best. I thought I wouldn't like the no-sauce aspect, but oh--- it was SO GOOD. The salad we started with was yummy, too. It had a great variety- everything from chickpeas to tomatoes to olives- and the dressing was tangy. It was also $8.95 and plenty for the four of us. I thought about docking the stars to 4 because of the atmosphere. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly, but it was LOUD. Grated it was lunch rush hour, but we had to almost shout to speak with each other across the table. Maybe there's a way to make it a little quieter? In the end, though, the fact that this was quite possibly the best pizza I've ever eaten won out. Five stars. If you're in the area, please give it a try. You won't be sorry! :)
(5)Kristen S.
The ribs were ammmmmaaaaaazzing. And the tomato sauce that comes with the meatballs - absolutely delicious. Finger-licking good!

We have been long time customers of Anthony's Pizza. Went to the one in Pompano Beach (Federal Hgwy) on 1/8/12, at around 6:15pm. the place was not busy, my wife and I were seated right away. Waited, waited, and waited we were given a menu and waited, waited and waited. I got up and ask the hostess if she gave us a help yourself table, nobody had even acknowledge we were there besides her. Hostess apologized and said they waitress/waiter will be right over. We waited and waited and waited. No waiter/waitress. Now please take this in consideration my wife and I like this place and been long time customers. Anyway, nobody came over, not even the hostess...I was so pissed I didn;t want to take the change to talk to the manager. Anyway, went to HUMBERTO:S on E. Atlantic Blvd. where the food and staff has always been reliable. BYE- BYE TONY. PS...and as for your place in Darien, CT. There always is REMOs in Stamford and soon Peppis.
(1)Elio S.
They serve pizza here? Oddly enough I love this place but not for their pizza but instead for their Eggplant Marino and Italian salad with gorgonzola! Just a perfect combination of food and it can feed two people easily (with left overs). The eggplant is so thin and perfectly breaded and accompanied by some "coal fired" focaccia bread, mmmm so good I tell you. You might have to wait a little to get a table but most great things are worth waiting right! The service is always top notch but I am displeased with their beer selection... can't have everything.
(4)Angie S.
Had the Roasted Cauliflower pizza, which I enjoyed, but will certainly come back again and again and again for the Eggplant Marino. The eggplant is sliced thinly so it's almost like a lasagna....so good. A new favorite dish.

When I lived in Ft Lauderdale for a year, this was my go-to pizza joint. And it's still a necessary stop whenever I am back in South Florida. With locations all over South Florida, Anthony's specializes in AMAZING thin crust, coal fired pizza - cooked "well done" so their crust strikes the perfect balance of chewy and crunchy. I almost always order the Paul & Young Ron, which includes their awesome meatballs, Italian sausage, choice of hot or sweet peppers (I always get the long hot peppers as they pack a real punch) mozzarella, and ricotta cheese. Everything, from the sauce, to the toppings, to the cheese and aforementioned crust are perfection. I also highly recommend the broccoli rabe & Italian sausage dish, which includes rapini sauteed in olive oil with roasted garlic cloves, crushed chilis, and is served over a fresh baked rosemary focaccia. Decent selection of reasonably priced wines as well (usually a good Chianti Classico choice on the list). Note that the Ft Lauderdale location gets very busy so expect a wait during most nights. The Pompano location on Federal Hwy is a bit larger and not as crowded.
(5)Sarah B.
Any person living in Fort Lauderdale can tell you that Anthony's has the best pizza in town. Besides this location, they have locations all over South Florida and even a few out of state. In addition to their amazing pizza, their wings are also to die for! Wings are served grilled with tons of onions on top... and I love those onions. You can't go wrong with getting any of their pizzas but my favorites are the white pizza, the meatball ricotta, or the basel, tomato, and mozzarella pizza. For those who are looking for a great coal fired pizza, Anthony's is really the best in town. There is nothing better then biting into their "burnt" crust and knowing that you are in pizza heaven!
(5)Michael W.
Pricy but really good!
(4)George C.
My favorite pizza and wings, period. I happened upon this place while visiting my mom in Fort Lauderdale, and we actually ate here twice the next time I visited. Small place, so there can be a wait at times. Very friendly staff. The pizza and wings are excellent, as is the cheesecake. I haven't tried any other items on the menu yet, but will be doing so for sure next time I eat there. It's just tough to pass up on the pizza and wings!

When we had to go pick up the Marathon Packet in Ft. Lauderdale, I said "Too bad we don't know of a good place to eat.. .........wait YELP!! For sure we can absolutely find a great place to eat through YELP!" Was I right or WHAT?!!?!!!!!!!! Through YELP I found he absolute best pizza in South Florida! My new love, thy name is ANTHONY! To thee l shall be faithful.. Lets start from the beginning.. OK I don't know how bad the tiny parking lot can be when busy, it was 4PM when we went. It was not bad.. but again not peak hour. The hostess seemed HAPPY to see us - imagine that! THEN the server Jose was a real sweetheart - all smiles and everything, I just wanted to pinch his cheeks, pick him up put him in my purse take him home, until my husband pointed out that this would be highly inappropriate. Besides someone might just miss him. So service - 5 STARS. Then the decor... perfect. Not pretentious but not cheapy. For us who love the Godfather Movies, there are plenty posters on the walls (I am stealing the one with The Godfather and his 3 sons).. l sat facing a wall and there was a pic of 'ol blue eyes staring at me. Kinda creeped me out with that "hey baby "look while l was trying to converse with my man. Now the food... WOW.. the perfect coal brick pizza. Crisp and delicious, the toppings superb. So good in fact, that our 12 year old who doesn't love olives nor onions, stole my pizza, and left me her cheese. SO very worth saving your apetite all day for. We are definitely returning even though we have to drive 45 minutes or more to get there. YES, it is that good....
(5)Eric B.
Although the coal-oven pizza and wings were good, I wouldn't rate them the best I've tasted. I found them oily, and I'm not a big fan of flat-crust. The service, however, was fantastic, with friendly prompt care from a waiter who was very accommodating of little kids.
(3)Gustavo A. L.
I came to this place to "carbo load" the day before running the A1A marathon in Ft. Lauderdale. This is a clear case where you seen how YELP really works, the sole reason we actually sought out this place (we are not from FT Lauderdale) was because it consistently gets 5 stars in Yelp. So we googled the address and punched in the coordinates in our gps and let it guide us to the promise land. This place is it !!! AWSOME ! From the beginning the service was excellent. We were a bit hesitant when we were guided to the very last table in the place. I was thinking that they would forget about us as it often happens when you are seated in a remote table. Not so .. the waiter was attentive and frequently checking up on us. We definitely wanted to try the brick oven pizzas so we ordered two different ones, the second one came out wrong - and here's where good places distinguished themselves, the waiter immediately owned the situation and without hesitation assumed responsibility with a smile and promised to fix it within a couple of minutes. In a few minutes he came back with the right order, service with a genuine smile and always making us feel good. The pizza is definitely the best we have tried as far as brick oven goes, it is unique, and the taste and consistency is just right. We had a cheese pizza and an onion and olives (YUMMMM) try them all, I know they are all good. The chicken wings looked fantastic, although I didn't have any because I was staying away from too much protein before the run. So we have to return. Triple Kudos... this place will make you feel good.

Awesome tuna salad! Best I have ever had, they serve you enought for you to not to stay hungry. The hit peppers on the oven are awesome!

We happened upon Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza while attempting to walk (in the August midday heat, ouch!) from our hotel (the Crowne Plaza) to SE 17th Street, in search of lunch. Boy, were we glad that we found Anthony's! It was only 2 blocks or so from the hotel, and seemed like a nice, cool oasis at which to stop walking and take a breather. For our group of 7 we got a couple of pizzas, the meatballs, a salad, an Italian-style tuna sandwich, the chicken wings, and the sausage with broccoli raab. I personally got the tuna sandwich and loved it! It was truly delicious, and huge (I couldn't eat all the flatbread, so ended up eating most of the tuna and vegetables out of the bread with a fork). Others said the pizza was very good, and we are all East-coast born-and-raised pizza snobs. My 10-year old ordered the chicken wings, and the way they make them (charred and covered with smothered onions) was not good to him. The very kind server immediately took them away and had the cook make him a more kid-friendly version of chicken wings, which he devoured. Overall, I thought the food at Anthony's was really good, the service excellent, and the atmosphere very modern and nice. I only deducted one star because I thought the prices were just a tad too high on the non-pizza items. But I would highly recommend them!

We decided to try this place after leaving a restaurant that had a two-hour wait for a table on a Sunday afternoon. Fortunately, they were not busy, but parking was the worst. The lot holds about twenty cars (uncomfortably) and street parking is almost non-existent. The hostess was nice, and we were seated promptly (party of four). There was a decent wine and beer selection, however don't depend on the staff to make suggestions. The menu contained more than just pizzas, but the salad selection needs to be expanded. We ordered two small pizzas and one in my group ordered a salad. The salad was large and very good. The pizzas were great- one with roasted cauliflower, and the other with sausage, meatballs, and hot peppers. Tip: The small pizza is enough for three people with average appetites or two really hungry people. Our server was nice and attentive without being overbearing. After she boxed up the leftovers, she assumed we were done and immediately brought the check- NOPE. We ended up ordering more drinks and finishing with espresso. Her add-on $kills need a little help, but we didn't make her feel bad about it. Overall, I might be back if I'm in the area, but I won't make a special trip.
(3)Dre B.
A friend talked this place up as the best pizza she had ever had, so she set my expectations super-high. I wont hold that against Anthony's; they didn't say it, she did. That said, the pizza was just OK. Anthony's is basically a pretty-good local spot that I'm not excited about. It's a good stopgap place to eat if there's nowhere else to go, nothing more than that. It appears they specialize more on the bar/drinks side than pizza actually. Nothing wrong with that.
(3)Bill L.
Stopped in for lunch today and what a nice treat! Parking was easy and got right in. Perused the menu while waiting for my iced tea. Decided on the meatball sandwich served on focaccia bread. Waiter told me as he was walking away, oh yeah it comes with hot peppers, that okay? Sure! Perfect blend of meatball, sauce, cheese and peppers and that coal fired crust on the bread....oh man! Im going to take a nap somewhere now....service was also great, nice job guys
(5)Jon K.
I have been to Anthony's many times, more than one location actually. First time to this location awhile and was surprised to see that they have remodeled and added on next door. So now its even larger with a great outdoor space with the bar moved outside. Of course, parking will continue to be a problem at this location. But they did have an employee help direct where to park. Split a salad and pizza with meatballs and both were excellent as always. Didn't get their awesome wings this visit Very excited that they are opening a location even closer to me. Hopefully it will open very soon. Will make getting their awesome food even easier.
(4)Janice N.
Love the food: Pizza, Wings and Gorgonzola Salad. The wait staff has always been great. It is pricey for pizza. To be honest the main reason we don't go more often is the parking situation. It's really crowded and tight!
(4)Tina R.
I lived in Italy and in New York for several years so I know pizza. And this one was okay. It's probably the best pizza in the area which accounts for the high traffic. Parking sucks, but they do have additional patking across the street.
(3)D S.
Inconsistent. Tonight, the pizza crust was soggy and chewy, and the wings over cooked and dry at least the flavor was still tasty. I was disappointed we ordered 20 wings and barely got half a piece of bread. First time I gave them a pass, hey every place has one bad night, but with them it seems as if their standards vary depends on who's dishing out the food.
(3)Darby S.
Loved pizza and chicken wings. All fresh. Yum everyone is very nice great service- will definitely be back for the meatballs, chicken wings, and pizza!
(4)John A.
Me and a buddy, grabbed a beer at the bar with Melissa A. ( our favorite bartender) pizza and wings with Jen (our favorite waitress). What a great time! Both young ladies were terrific! Great service, up beat, made us both out-of-towners feel right at home! Heck, the food was great too!!! Wouldn't go anywhere else for pizza and wings. * John & Keith from New England
(5)Drew P.
Just got off a plane from California, pulled out the Yelp! app and found this place. They said 30 minute wait but we were seated in 20 minutes. The pizza was GOOD. Very respectable, however for the price I wanted a little bigger and more toppings. The crust and sauce are made to perfection, everything else could use a small spruce up. This isn't a must go to, but a solid choice. Its thinner crust, not thick, but not super thin.
(3)Amanda D.
Love this place!! Love that they have 1/2 off craft and draft on Mondays and Tuesday's. The food is amazing
(5)Kimberly H.
Great food the only bad thing and I order here several times a month sometime a few times a week to. Chic sandwich best chicken sandwich ever. One of my favorite. THE BAD - be prepared to wait a long time for take out. Plan at least 1 hr before getting your food as their take out backs up. I think mainly it has to do with a small kitchen and there heavy demand. Also I wish they had some discounts for there regulars.
(3)Joel R.
Great food. Great service. Great price. Absolutely no complaints. Love it! The pizza tasted awesome! High quality ingredients. Very fresh. Would love to go again!
(5)Eric F.
The ribs are delicious, meaty with herb seasoning. We also had the small calzone that can easily serve two adults. Good salad portions. Service was fast an friendly, in a fun atmosphere. I will come back to Anthony's again.
(4)Alick W.
We went to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza for our last night in Florida for a good dinner and it didn't disappoint. It was Monday night and there was still about a 25 minute wait which wasn't too bad as they have an outside waiting area that you can take drinks to. We started with their wings which had a nice rub on it and caramelized onions. I don't often eat wings that are not buffalo flavored, but these were really good. We also got a family style salad that was quite tasty as well and more than enough for 4 people. The pizza is really good here. It has a thinner crust and quite tasty. We got a Paul & Young Ron pie which had Meatballs, Sausage, Peppers & Ricotta Cheese and it was amazing. We also got the arugula pie which was a white pizza with a ton of arugula on top of it, a little too much but the pie was still pretty good. Our server was also pretty attentive and friendly and overall had a very pleasant experience dining here. Parking can be tough around here though.
(5)Brynn F.
I must say that every Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza that I have ever been to has great pizza, but this particular one had excellent service. The wait staff was on par but the Manager at this location was exceptional. He completely changed my mood from the moment that I walked into the door. My fiancé and I walked in tense and hungry and left with huge smiles thanks to the food, staff and manager.
(5)Tolbert P.
My son and I are in Ft. Lauderdale on vacation from Dallas. We wanted a great pizza and decided to try Anthony's. The food was amazing the atmosphere was great for families or date night. It was perfect for us he waitress offered great suggestions. We ended up with a large half pepperoni and half meatball. It was beautiful baked in their coal oven and was perfect with the Stella. Our waitress amazed us again with a couple of roasted chicken wings to sample. Wow! Great staff and great food was a win win for us. We highly recommend Anthony's!!!
(5)Jennifer S.
Flying solo. It was packed at 630 on a Thursday night, so I ate at the bar. TV's available to watch sports. Great service. Good wine selection. Yummy pizza. Live music that was worth listening to. Nice find when traveling.
(4)Toni G.
This has been my favorite pizza place since I was six years old. The pizza is too die for! I highly recommend the Anthonys Classic salad with Gorgonzola and the pork ribs. Everyone must try the chicken sandwich! Both have such a delicious flavor. The manager Jeremy is a sweetheart and is dedicated to making your time at AFCP enjoyable. All of the servers have personable personalities and make the experience even better. The new expansion of the outdoor seating area, bar and live music are a great addition to this establishment. Wonderful food, people and atmosphere you can't go wrong!!!
(5)Susyn S.
"Pizza that reminds me of Chicago's pizza but it is in Fort Lauderdale" I got very hooked to Chicago style pizza while there a few years back and Fort Lauderdale had only okay pizza after that experience, until I found Anthony's Coal-Fired Pizza. They have locations both on South Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale and on South Federal Highway in Pompano Beach. Their pizzas are pretty darned close to the scrumptious ones that I have a jones for from Chicago. The prices are probably similar to Chicago's, too. You can't get individual slices, you have to order the whole pie, but you know, who can stop at just one slice when it tastes this good? Visited January 2014
(5)Tracy C.
We came here after the NHL draft in Sunrise, Fl and we were famished! The food was great, the service was quick and the people were friendly! :-) We will be back!
(5)Keith M.
Another order of wings and a custom pizza that just didn't disappoint! All was terrific, but what really stood out was the great service from our lovely young waitress Jennifer.... She was quick to flash a beautiful smile and made our visit all the more enjoyable... We will certainly be requesting her service at our next visit.... And I am already looking forward!
(5)Chloe E.
It was a busy night at the Coal Fire on a rainy Sunday. Maybe it was because of the football games. Anyway, I ordered 2 meatballs so I wouldst have to wait long. I wait for about 5 min and left. The guy in the parking lot walked me to the door under the umbrella and the host opened the door. Also, the girl who took my order thanked me by my first name Chloé. Nice service here. My meatballs were good along with the flatbread and ricotta cheese. Nice touch. I would go back for those delicious wings for sure.
(5)Anu N.
Love the pizza here. Mikey always takes care of us. Ask them to make the pizza with fresh mozzarella, it's an off the menu request. It's AMAZING!!!
(4)Sarah H.
Pizza is OK. It looks and smells really yummy, but is really bland and dry! The price was high for what you get in my opinion. There was a table next to us that spilled their water and instead of the waiter helping the poor customer he just literally threw some napkins on the table!!! REALLY!!! Poor customer service at its finest!! If you're a beer drinker it looked like they specialized in Beer. We will probably not return here.
(3)Elizabeth C.
Pizza was just ok. I had heard rave reviews from friends about this place so I was a little disappointed. I just got the pepperoni, because I'm a plain Jane when it comes to pizza. I hear their specialty pizzas are where it's at so maybe this place deserves another shot from me, but I really just though they were ok. I also tried their wings which I though were dry and kind of boring as they had no dipping sauce. This place is just meh for me.
(3)Stephen C.
Wow, did I mess up. After three years in Florida, I am moving in 2 days. I messed up by not hitting this place up when I first got down here!! I ordered a pizza to go after picking my dad up at the airport, and it was amazing. I didn't get anything fancy, just a plain cheese pizza but wow, it was so unexpectedly awesome. The pizza has a smokey flavor and the crust is just the right amount of crispy and doughy. The sauce was my favorite part, it was tangy and fresh tasting. If you guys want to open up a shop in Portland Maine, I'll hand out flyers for minimum wage to spread the word of how badass of a pizza place you have going! Anyway stop reading this review and check this place out!
(5)Kaya G.
So.... This New Yorker has been promised authentic pizza for 4 years... My time has come. Recently back in the NYC I had my 1 am stop for a slice at $1.00 and my heart raced I was so happy! Well, happy again. Love love love. No need for a long drawn out review. Pretty simple - ambiance- fabu and legit. Salad- hearty and legit. Some chick peas and olives and a bit of celery definitely surpassed those measly starter salads. Legit. Ok eggplant Marino pizza. I now bow down To you. Tomato sauce, hublongous generous seriously full top eggplant. Topped with Pecorino cheese. LEGIT Needless to say I will be back. Without shame, I own the fact that I totally ordered another pizza to go. It's on. It's legit.
(5)Umar G.
It was awesome to comeback to FTL and try some old favorites! This place was just as good as I remember it . Had a large salad and the chicken wings . The salad was crisp, perfectly dressed and had just the right amount of crunch and bite . Make sure you order it with the Gorgonzola cheese to add that unctuous saltiness that makes it perfect . The wings were perfection . Grilled blackened yet crisp and meaty . Be sure to ask for some lemon to cut the fattiness. Overall very pleased .
(4)Diana H.
I have always been a fan of Anthony's. Their oven makes everything extra delicious!! I had a small pizza and their wings. The wings are so crispy they taste like they're fried, but they're just oven baked!! I had a good experience in this Anthony's, I was seated right away and the barely waited for the food. The waitress was great and even packed my food to go. Definitely a place to eat for amazing pizza!!
(5)Caro D.
The food is ok! We were expecting to be a little bit more tasty... The service was not outstanding! We asked for chicken wings and they were ok, not super delicious like the waitress recommended us. The pizza was the best part of the meal! We like it!
(3)Tracey S.
My parents really enjoy this place as far as good go and that would be the only time I come here is for them. The food is okay, but the servers are just too snooty. I work in the restaurant business and have always felt it important to be friendly. Every time I walk in to pick up an order no one even smiles. Do you hate your job, or did I just inconvenience the hostess to get off the phone for two seconds. I walk in and a young man helped me out and as I walk to the stand the lady just says 33$ and whatever the change was, and then just goes on her phone with the other worker, it was awkward.. As far as I'm concerned they shouldn't even be on their phone, especially if it means ignoring people. Thank you to the one guy who put my stuff together, and the only reason I added an extra star.
(3)E M.
i have been back here now six or seven times pizza meatballs salad same stuff, each time, but this place is great for me enjoy

GREAT PIZZA MEMORIES Been waiting a long long time for a trip back to this specific Fort Lauderdale Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. Little has changed, it's tiny parking lot is full and there's a packed house for pizza lovers who are all convinced they're eating South Florida's very best. We're convinced too after biting into their signature thin crusted pizza combo "Paul & Young Ron." Our memories and taste buds don't defy us.
(5)Steve W.
Anthony's Coal Fired pizza in Delray Beach Fl. is my favorite location. Tonights meal was no different than previous over last few years Delicious! The pizza is thin crust with tasty sauce and cheese we also had the wings tonight which are meaty and Delicious! Beer selection is a plus!
(5)Erika J.
Great Pizza great atmosphere! They have a fun outdoor area with live music. Try the meatball Riccotta pie!
(4)Erica T.
When we got here I wasnt sure. They only had some fake lemon sweet tea and the soda was in bottles. Then the pizza came. Nothing mattered after that. We had the meatball and ricotta. The meatballs were homemade! It was cooked perfectly. If we were local this would be our new place.
(5)Brandon R.
Went here just this past Sunday for Father's Day. We always get the Paul and young Ron and once again it did not disappoint. We started with the grilled wings which are never a bad choice. Loved it. My only complaint would be that it's pretty pricey for pizza, but that's just the way it is. I keep going back do obviously it's not that big of a deal.
(5)Niran A.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is everything you come to love about a neighborhood pizza place, plus it's conveniently located the beach. The interior is basic with simple wooden chairs and tables, which seat a little more than 50 people. There is also a small bar which is stocked with quality craft beer and a clear view of the TV, which will most assuredly have ESPN on. Clearly the owner appreciates the better things in life - pizza and sports. The coal fired ovens catch the eye immediately as you walk in and create an authentic aroma throughout the restaurant. There are also several other TV's throughout the restaurant, in between all of the Dolphins and other Miami sports memorabilia. Of course the TV's are tuned into ESPN as well. Décor aside, the real treasure here is still the food. The menu is limited in options, but any pizza lover will be able to find something for them. The traditional pies (plain cheese with options for toppings) are beyond delicious and just so well executed. The crust has that very slight black char from the oven; the cheese used always tastes fresh and strings out as you pull a slice of pie from the rest of the pizza. The cheese also doesn't have that oily consistency or taste that a lot of other cheaper pizza places use. Anything with the sausage or meat on it is also very good. Not sure if they are prepared in house or not, but regardless they tasted great and compliment the pies well. There are also a bunch of specialty pies, which feature a combination of ingredients and toppings. I haven't sampled any of them, since I was only in Ft. Lauderdale for a short vacation but I will say the sausage and broccoli rabe pizza looked fantastic. You can't go wrong though either way, these pizzas are better than most places in New York. Interestingly enough though, the pizza isn't the best part - the coal fired chicken wings topped caramelized onions take the cake. Each chicken wing and drumstick has a delicious crunchy skin from the coal fired oven. The chicken pieces also get a lovely smoky aroma from the oven, which perfectly complements the rosemary and pepper seasoning. The caramelized onions and juices that come out of the chicken wings drip down onto the focaccia bread on the bottom, which becomes another tasty snack. In short, delicious eats are plentiful at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. From the pizzas, to the chicken wings, to Italian soul food - everything is good. Prices are also very reasonable, as everything is family style and under $20.

Great place to eat if you are staying pre or post cruise hotel nearby. Good bar selection as well. Get the meatball appetizer, can't go wrong!

I hope to god Anthony's opens up in Northern VA because that was the best pizza I've ever had! And wings. Good lord the wings. I have very high pizza standards as I make them myself at home and have developed a talent for it but obviously nothing I will ever make in an oven can beat pizza made in a professional pizza oven. The pizza was delicious beyond belief. The wings were incredible and crisp and I worried that they didn't come with any sauces or even dipping sauces but you absolutely do not need anything else with them. Our waitress was very nice and pretty and personable. I had to have her explain the only cocktail drink on the menu to me because I wasn't familiar with the spirits in it, she was very nice about it and didn't look at me like I was retarded. I do wish they would have a larger variety of cocktails, but the one I got was delicious. I can't wait to go back there!!

I had a tasty pepperoni pizza here a few weeks ago. The crust was nice a crispy and the sauce was tart and well seasoned. I've had better pizza in the area so I have to opt for 3 stars. I'd eat here again, but not regularly. We also split a house salad. You need to give it a good stir because all the dressing goes straight to the bottom, but it was a nice side to the pizza.

All the reviews didn't steer us wrong when picking this place to eat during our layover. Very New York style and feel, with many Tv's on the walls playing sports. Great service also. Be sure and get the Fuhgetaboutit beer, as it's made just for this place alone. The family size Italian salad was killer, and the pizza was second to none. We even took our leftovers to the airport. Had to tell the TSA guy no way when he asked for a slice. We'll be back!

Went to Anthony's for the second time today. I like to try places at least twice before reviewing when the review is three stars or better. Anthony's is "NOT" NY Pizza contrary to what anyone here feels, it is a very nice place with good food. We had the wings that were great, an order of meatballs that I felt were very good as well. I think their gravy (tomato sauce) is quite good for a chain. The Italian salad is also very good. We had a sausage pizza and I would say the sauce and cheese were good as well as the clumped "NON" NY style sausage. They burn the crust on all their pizzas and that is their "deal" here, with warnings posted on the walls. I understand it, but I've had coal fired pizza from the "gold standard" Frank Pepe's, Sally's and The Spot in New Haven CT. Burning the crust all around just isn't necessary, and although Anthony's isn't in this "Best of Pizza" league, it is a better pizza than many here in Florida. It is not NY style though. NY style can be had at Kings Pizza in Aventura, Rice and Dough in Ft. Lauderdale, and Vinny's in Jupiter, all of which are far better than Anthony's. The very best of Ft. Lauderdale is certainly Rice and Dough, where you can get close to perfect NY crust, cheese and sauce on most days. Anthony's pizza was slightly burned on the bottom as well as the crust and the crust was inedible due to the fact that it was carbonized (burned black). The underside was a bit limp and so this (seemingly tough to some) review is honest and accurate. Everything else we tried was very good. Overall I enjoyed the meal and would return for a better than average experience. The service was excellent and the place clean. I would give them 3.5 stars if I could.

The broccoli rabe sausage pizza was perfect! Just the right mix of ingredients ... And cooked just right. Yum!

One of the constants in the universe is there is always a first time for everything. My once reliable pizza refuge has gone sour on me, at least at this location. All I wanted was a simple small pizza with olives and mushrooms. More or less the same pizza from Anthony's I am accustomed to, soft crust rich with tomato sauce, cheese, and fresh juicy vegetables. But not this time, they could not do that, they decided to give me something resembling a chemistry experiment gone bad. I have been to this location before, and I never had a problem with my pizzas. But for some odd reason, this Anthony's location decided to give me a burnt pizza this time around. The condiments on the top of the pizza were dried out and shriveled. The crust on the pizza had the texture of a UPS shipping box. I did not realize the pizza was burnt until half way home, being this Anthony's is not close to my house I did not return it. Not even the beautiful customer service friendly young blonde's and brunette's that work at this Anthony's can make me come back to this location. They are on my no "return "list for ever. The good news is the Anthony's near my house has not let me down yet, and they also have beautiful blonde's and brunettes with impeccable service. Its 2:00 am and I am having multiple extended meetings in the throne room...

Great pizza with unique style (arugula or cauliflower pizza are winners), and a good selection of beer on tap. Servers were very nice and helpful. Gets very busy, so be prepared to wait.
(5)Ryan S.
The first time I came here was years ago and ever since this is the pizza join I get my pizza from. Nothing compares. When we have family or friends in town and they want pizza we take them here and when they leave they are in love with the pizza also. There wings are awesome also. They also have a bunch of beers from microbreweries on tap which I haven't been disappointed yet. So check this place out. The only thing is the parking is limited here. But there are others locations some what close if you don't mind driving.
(5)Nese V.
Based on other reviews, we ordered the wings and a pepperoni pizza; well-deserved praise, both were delicious. (However, each of those dishes are well-saturated with oil; they taste great, but the work-out you get raising the food to your mouth will not off-set the weight you are no doubt adding to your waist and glutes.) The service? Excellent. Perhaps management read the prior reviews because every waitperson was on his or her game.
(5)Jeff H.
If you are looking for something different a good place to come. The toppings are fresh, they do burn your pizza crust not good. Their salad dressing is way to vingerer. Their wine list is overpriced, especially for the amount you receive. Finally the place is very very loud. So if you are not into conversation then come here. We differently will try it again and give it another chance. The service is very good.
(3)Tina T.
Pizza sooooo good...and many varieties... Chicken wings amazing... Reasonably priced... Food comes out fast .. Decent wine list..
(5)Marie K.
I can only comment on the pizza, which is what I had, and it was not the best but not the worst either. I stayed down the block from here for a couple weeks and it was always busy. The ambiance was nice and service was great. Perhaps I'd try something else next time I'm in town.
(3)Rocki R.
They have awesome pizza, wings and ribs. i eat here at least once a week. Only complaint is they dont do bacon or pineapple and dont deliver. But its worth the trip to either get take out or eat in.
(5)Alicia P.
Service was amazing! Very friendly. Enjoyed the food. Food was perfect , great quality. Will return again.
(5)Sarah H.
Pizza is think and crispy. Wings are sauceless but delicious. Salad is like your mom made it...that good. Ingredients are fresh and you can taste it.
(5)Andrea K.
Love it here!! The best food, service and atmosphere. I come here at least 2 times a week!
(5)Diana N.
My Coworkers and I love this place! Pizza doesnt get better than this. It is well made, the sauce is perfect, pizza just doesn't get better than this! The chicken wings are also delishes! They are topped with yummy cooked onions and are finger licking good. Salad is also delishes.
(5)Ari I.
The food and staff are pure garbage. My pizza tasted like dishwashing soap. When we complained they didn't replace it stating we already ate 2 of the slices. Id rather eat a microwavable pizza
(1)Kim L.
Too bad I'm visiting from Dallas. I would come here regularly for the family size salad and lunch pizza. We had the mozzarella and ricotta pizza. It was great, full of mini meatballs.
(4)Lisa W.
So happy to go to the original Anthony's!! We are visiting from NY, they catered the rehearsal dinner, what a great choice!! Servers are great and food is top notch!! Love the new meatball pots, traveling hone with one!!!
(5)Kathryn B.
Before moving back to Atlanta, I lived in South Florida for 10 years and Anthony's is at the top of my list of places I miss! Every time I come back to visit, Anthony's is definitely on my to-do list while I'm in town. Every location is fabulous and produces top quality food and service. I worked in Palm Beach Gardens for the owner of an Executive Suites bldg. Our tenants consisted of Lawyers, physicians, top executives, social workers...and the list goes on. Every month we organized a tenant appreciation luncheon and once we chose Anthony's to cater it, they never wanted anyone else! This is how pizza is supposed to taste...and don't be afraid to order any item off of the menu...everything is so tasty! There's a reason why they are so busy...it's always worth the wait! Open a location in Atlanta please!
(5)Ken P.
The best pizza and wings hands down. The wings are crispy on the outside, hot and juicy inside. The caramelized onions are perfect, too. The pizza...it's not for everyone. Some people say the crust is "burnt." Yes, that's the idea. Coal fired, thin and crispy. And you can't go wrong with any topping. The extra hot coal ovens change the flavor of everything. I'm not a pepperoni person, but Anthony's pepperoni comes out like crispy chips. My favorite topping is sausage. Not a fan of the calzone, only because the outside burns before the inside cheese melts - a disadvantage of those extra hot ovens. But my all time favorite here is the side of eggplant. Just make sure you ask for mozzarella cheese on it. Very thin sliced and baked. Tender and a flavor to die for. Note that this Anthony's location, unlike some others, does not have a full bar. Just beer and wine here. But this is the ORIGINAL location. So it truly is the best...and I've been to many of them.
(5)Jaclyn D.
Very good NYC style pizza!! They do not take reservations so be prepared to wait. There are benches in front and in the parking lot to sit and have a glass of wine while you wait for your name to be called.
(4)Julie N.
There's really only a few pizza places that should ever get five stars. This is one of them. My parents raved about Anthony's on a recent trip to Ft Lauderdale and said I was definitely in for a treat. Dad ordered a family size salad, a large order of wings, and a half and half large pizza for four of us. Salad: Excellent. Everything was super fresh, the dressing was very good, and I adored the addition of chickpeas. Wings: Seriously? Fantastic. Covered in caramelized onions, they were baked and served with toast. The wings were some of the best I've ever eaten. Pizza: YES. Half ricotta and meatball and half eggplant with veggies. Yes, yes, and yes. We didn't have to wait long for a table and our waitress was very attentive. This is my new favorite pizza place in Ft. Laurderdale.
(5)Linda R.
OK...I've eaten at the Anthony's in Tampa and it's my favorite pizza in the USA. I went to this place expecting that 5 star pizza and only got 3. The ingredients didn't seem as fresh and the pizza didn't have the love...yeah I know that's stupid but hey I'm Italian. Just a bit of a let down. I had the opportunity to go to the Tampa location a week later and it's night and day. Everything in Tampa was great....you guys need to check this out.
(3)Maya G.
This place is delicious- and anyone who says otherwise is lying. I am a New Yorker residing in South Florida and this is the best pizza you will find down here. It is cooked in a a "coal fire" oven and it makes the food so so good. Also, beyond just the awesome pizza, the wings are AMAZING. They are the best wings I ever had. My recommendation: if your going to the Ft. Laud location, come early because there is always a long wait- but so worth it.
(5)Alicia C.
I am over this place. Every time we order take out from them they are unable to get it right, nor are they either apologetic or compensate us for the issue. This isn't rocket science...it is PIZZA. For example, 2 weeks ago we orded a pozza and they didn't bother to cook our order. We had to wait 45 minutes for the pizza with difficulty parking the car and the valet getting torked with us "running in" to get the pizza. Obviously there was no running in as they didn't bother to cook it. Today, we orded a large calzone and a salad. Again not rocket science...this is a restaurant and they should know how to read the order...nope. Small calzone even though we paid for a large. Additional 20 minutes waiting to cook another that we will never get back. That is it...I will order pizza from New River Pizza and be done.
(1)Cindy O.
Forget the pizza - scarf down some awesome, delicious, mouth-watering chicken wings with a salad. This is a meal in itself. These are not hot wings. They are fired with carmelized onions and served with flat bread. Please get one of these retaurants in Austin. I dream of those wings. Now the pizza is good but too thin for my taste and so thin the bottoms are very brown almost burned. The young server gave himself an Italian first name so just joking with him I said, 'so you are Italian?' he said, 'yup' then I asked what his last name was and trust me it was not Italian. Needless to say he was embarassed. I was amused. Parking at this location is not fun so plan ahead.
(4)Rick G.
Great pizza, baked chicken wings with sauteed onions and salad.
(5)Sergio F.
My first Yelp for the 954! So my friend from Maryland was leaving Monday after Alumni weekend here, and I wanted to squeeze in a brief, nice lunch - close to Ft Lauderdale Airport - before her flight. I saw the great Yelps about Anthony's and can now affirm my fellow Yelpers were right. As you know from my reviews, Im a Hawaiian Pizza kind of guy, and had never tried a "well done" pizza. But Im certainly impressed. We had a large pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni and prosciutto. The meats were certainly tasty, and the mushrooms had the right touch. The marinara sauce was excellent; even without asking for extra sauce it had an amount to my liking and with the right kick. My friend said the pepperoni was a little salty, and I agree. Still, that's not worth taking a star away for. We also had capuccinos, which were the perfect temperature and amount of caffeine. The sugar cube was a nice touch, as were the cookies. Kudos also to our waitress Mel! There's now a culinary reason for me to go to the 954!
(5)Kendra J.
One word: awesome.
(5)Nick R.
We arrived about 5 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon and the parking lot was packed. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was friendly. I was a bit surprised that when I ordered a Coke, it wasn't fron a fountain, but rather a 20 oz plastic bottle. My wife ordered iced tea, and hers was also served in a bottle. The pizza arrived quickly and was delicious. Overall, a very good experience, except for the very tight parkng lot. I had to back the car out so my wife could get in her door, the cars were parked so close together.
(4)Alissa W.
I love this place there is always a line so you know the food has to be good. they have the best salad with gorgonzola cheese. The dressing is out of this world they put on it. The pizza's are great I usually add extra cheese because sometimes they can be sparse with the cheese. They have really good wings, they are baked in the coal fire oven so they are not fried. If you haven't been you must try this place !
(4)Dee K.
Def a fan! I love the "well-done" style of their coal fired pizza. I am especially fond of the Paul & Young Ron pie (ricotta, hot peppers, sausage). The eggplant marino appetizer and house salad is delicious and great to share with a date. I cannot stress the house salad enough- my friends and I have gotten an order for the table and end up fighting over the last bits of it. The setting is classy and modern - but small, so on busy nights you'll wait and parking is not the greatest, but not overly challenging to stop you from grabbing a bite. Valet is offered, as well. Enjoy!

Now I know the reason I avoided this place for all these years...overpriced, corporate chain. We were desperate for food last night and gave in. When I wanted to order a side of broccoli rabe to go with my dish, I was told by the waitress "we don't do that"...although of course, it is a topping for the pizza. The Corporate powers that be obviously don't allow any deviations from the menu, even if ever so slight as a side of a pizza topping. I really did not like this. Not to mention the food was way overpriced for the quality. We had to load old parma cheese and stale chili pepper onto our very bland mozzerella/tomato/basil pizza to bring out the flavor. Seriously...this place was packed, obviously it has some draw. I felt like I was in a lower version of the Olive garden... glad I tried it once, now know not to go back again. EVER.
(2)Waldo J.
My wife and I split their big salad and fresh mozzarella/tomato/basil pie. I get the whole coal-fired thing, but the crust was actually *burnt*, which was not so good. Weirdly, they have only bottled drinks. There is no alcohol, soda, or iced tea available on tap--all bottled. As somebody else pointed out, the place feels like a chain. (It's not.) That is, it's got this veneer of inaccessibility that's the very opposite of endearing. A good restaurant makes you feel invested in its wellbeing, and Anthony's sure didn't do that for me. It wasn't terrible, it was just OK. I wouldn't go back.
(3)Stacie H.
Great pizza, great salad, great service and a good selection of IPA beer. They have several sports stations on and several conveniently located tvs (no neck cramps to watch). Great for a relaxing dinner.
(5)Maxine V.
The place is a good chain. The pizza is good, wings are good and the beer is cold!
(4)Steven H.
The pizza was okay but the crust had no flavor, it was like cracker crust and it was extremely soggy. I prefer a pizza crust that has yeast in it and a little bit of a rise. The sausage olives and mushrooms on the pizza were really good but the hot peppers and the pepperoni were marginal.
(2)Matt M.
Great spot to grab a quick bite before hopping to the airport. Will be back if I'm ever flying out of Ft. Lauderdale again.
(5)Kim A.
Great pizza and the wings are amazing. As a former resident of Buffalo,NY ( birthplace of buffalo wings) I'd rate these wings as the best in south Florida!
(5)Kyle H.
Anthony's is great. I like their wings and their sausage pizza. Definately I would reccomend it the ONLY reason why I didnt not give it a 5 Star rating was because i PERSONALLY do not like the style of pizza i think there is too much sauce but most people love it so dont take my word for it but definately get the wings!
(4)Mike Z.
great pizza but i just think i don't like the places where they dime you on how many toppings you want. i've seen a couple places like that and pizza just gets really pricey. what i do like is the quality of the ingredients you can put on your pizza. i had the italian sausage, proscuitto, and the long hot finger peppers. i didn't know what to expect with the finger peppers but damn those are huge ass peppers. they are good but i don't need it covering my whole pizza slice. the proscuitto was really good but it definitely overpowered the pizza as it made it very salty. i did like the taste of the pizza as it had a smokey taste from the coals that was also infused into the meat. nice touch! also the service was really fast and there's even a guy outside letting people know if there's parking in their lot as it's not the largest lot or restaurant. it's quaint but nice. i wish we had one in houston. i'd go for sure.
(4)Carlos L.
I am a regular, best pizza in town, predictible good food and service, fast, no surprises. Wish they had more toppings.
(5)Pat C.
Love their Tuna sandwich. Pizza is good, too, although sometimes it's burned on the bottom
(3)Bernardo A.
Their menu is very limited, and in this case, it's a good thing. Their baked rosemary wings are phenomenal. And the caramelized onions that come with them are great over a piece of foccaccia. No dipping sauce necessary on these wings. The order of ten makes a great appetizer for 2-3 people. Their Italian salad is also very simple and very fresh. I always order mine with dressing on the side, but I think that's they way they bring it anyway. The salad is also sharing-sized. Great for four people who want something green and cool with their pizza. I love their pizza even though I'm not quite sure of the need for the super burnt edges. I think it wouldn't hurt to take the pies out of the oven a minute or two earlier; but what do I know? The only pizza ingredient I don't recommend from their menu is the prosciutto. IMHO, it doesn't make any sense to take a beautifully air-cured piece of dead pig that has very little moisture and then cook it in a 500° + oven until it becomes a crunchy, shriveled up piece of salty ham. I ordered it once and it seemed like a complete waste. Not good. I think the best Anthony's pizza is the ham, mushroom and onion pie (a bit of onion overload if you had the wings as well) because the juiciness of the mushrooms and onions add a lot of flavor to the sauce and cheese and make a great counterpoint to the crunchiness of the crust. Avoid this place at "regular" dining hours. The parking situation is a mess and the wait is usually long. Going early or a bit late is well worth it.
(4)Leland G.
It seems like every day I hear on the radio that Anthony is opening up another pizza shop in some different town; I think they even have one in Vegas. Long story short, the place is doing very well; and this is clearly do to the good pizza and wings at the shop. The pizza is great and my personal favorite is the "Paul and Young Ron" named after the local radio show hosts. I think the pie was offered temporarily to see how many the DJ's could sell but it was so good that it was added to the menu for good. If you've never tried the wings I would definitely give them a try, real good with sauteed onions mixed in. If you live here and have never been, or your on vacation here, you have to check it out; you won't be disappointed. Just as a tip, if you are headed there for lunch I would try to go a little before noon as it tends to get pretty busy and parking can be tough.
(4)Joshua G.
Great pizza and wings! Wings were very tasty. I personally love this kind of crust. so it was exactly what I was hoping for. Also to note the beverages are all bottled which is odd and adds up.
(5)Sean H.
If u have ever asked for your pizza burnt before you'll love this place. The sauce is good, the toppings are plentiful, and the crust is crispy and well done. This is my kind of pizza. I sat at the bar and was seated and served quickly but it looked like a long wait for a table.
(4)J. M.
I grew up in New Haven area and know what GREAT pizza is! Anthonys lived up to its reccomendation from a friend. Great staff, helped with parking. Waitress was VERY GOOD. Food was the real deal New Haven coal oven style pizza. Would highly reccomend. I would like to see a white clam pie on the menu. I will be back for more!!!
(5)Kirsten L.
I LOVE ANTHONY'S!!!!!! More specifically, I love the pizza! I dream of it often. I'm not a huge fan of the wings. They're OK, but I prefer them prepared differently. Just give me the salad with Gorgonzola, and a pie with mushrooms and greek olives, and I am one very happy girl! The meatball and ricotta pie is also another fave. A small is plenty to share for 2 people.
(5)Jimmy S.
Great spot, lunch or dinner.
(5)John L.
Compared to pizza from up north, its good. Compared to floridian pizza joints, its amazing. Want a good coal fired slice, dont think twice, go to Anthony's.
(4)Titus P.
Really good pizza. Great ingredients. Would have given a 4 star except we found a hair in our pizza. They should wear hairnets or something. Wings were too different for us. Baked or something, too many onions. The Ribs were quite good and we enjoyed the seasoning greatly.
(3)Frank D.
the bloom is off this rose under ITALIAN SOUL FOOD is listed pork ribs w / vinegar peppers "roasted in our Coal ovens with garlic, rosemary, Spicy vinegar peppers, and white wine" fuggeddaboutit..............it was inedible oh yeah, those "vinegar peppers", were slices of jalapeno from a jar you could by at publix for $.69, and those "ribs", were burnt refuse waste what TOM JENKINs would throw in the garbage as was usual the staff was very young and highly energetic, and my experience got the immediate attention of a manager, who listened to me, and must have agreed, because the plate was whisked away and the tab immediately adjusted without any discussion since i don't like the burnt toast they call "pizza", but i do very much like the salad, which is always fresh and a complete meal in itself, i really do want to like something else on the limited menu, so i tried the "pork ribs" under italian soul food i guess using celebrity names on food can only take the food so far ( and i should have been suspicious of those "ribs" since NO CELEBRITY name was attached to those, even any PAID celebrity ! ) apparently every celebrity said no since these "ribs" are just that bad i really wouldn't mind if this entree was titled FUSION or RIBS and jalapeno or whatever ........ BUT it is an insult as an italian to have "peppers" anything but fresh BELL PEPPERS.............i realize being italian i know better and maybe this review is severe but i get crazy when something called "italian" is such a disaster
(2)Jennifer H.
Anthony's is indeed an amazing place. I was glad we got there just before the lunch rush, because the parking lot is tiny, and this place is BUSY. I love a well done pizza, and this one was the tops. I do wish that they had soda on tap instead of in bottles.. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Plantation, as I know as long as it isn't Tuesday, there will be a coal fired pizza gettin' eatin'. (They're closed on Tuesdays if you didn't catch my meaning)
(5)Anthony I.
I moved out of NY to DC and the best pizza I found in 5 years was in Florida? This place is fantastic, I found it on yelp and basically planned my meals around things on yelp. This place is amazing, were to begin. The meatballs were wonderful, excellent sauce and fresh ricotta, a real nice authentic touch. Next up we had some sausage and brocllirabe, excellent, great flavor not oily, wonderfully garlic balance, the roasted garlic was perfect! Finally onto the pizza, we went traditional with a plain pie and a mushroom, perfect! The crust was crisp and well done, crunchy and amazing, the sauce and cheese balance was right on! I really enjoyed this meal everything was perfect!
(5)Constantin L.
Great pizza! Always busy and that is a definite plus!!! You have to try it!
(5)Dan I. C.
The charcoal adds a nice flavor to the pizza and chicken wings. Had the meatball pizza and the wings smothered in onions. The pizza was thin with small meatballs and the cooking process gives the pizza a dark crust which adds a smoked flavor and almost burnt look. The wings have the same flavor of smoke not spicy at all, but the onions make the wings. Not sure why, but they do. Very good pizza/wings. Remember to tell the Dan sent you for the onion wings and Stay Hungry!
(4)Harry A. M.
We like Anthony's Pizza but they're "too damn salty." Someone has a very heavy hand with salt in this place or the cheese is very salty. In any event, it's just too salty. If it weren't so salty I could give it a perfect rating. As it is I must take off one star.
(4)S F.
authrentic ny style because i got a huge side order of ny attitude for free! chicken wings are uniquel pizza oven roasted (a little charcoaled) with carmalized onions heaped on top. yum! the traditional pie is my litmus test. crust, mozz cheese, pie sauce and some herbs. they knocked it further than A Rod. come hungry.
(5)Allan S.
What a surprise. Has the feel of a chain restaurant, but the pizza is really, really good. Nice & thin crust. Wine & beer served, but no mixed drinks which is just fine. We definitely will be back.
(4)Katie H.
For our last night of Florida family fun, we just wanted something easy and basic. My sister suggested pizza and whipped out a menu for this place.We picked up two larges and a salad (for $45) and hurried back to her place to dig in. It was kind of disapoinitng. The coal fired aspect made the crust nice and crispy wihtout being like cardboard but the gobs of baked crushed tomatoes (instread of sauce) made the pizza really watery. We patted it dry with paper towerls, I plucked off the tomoatoe chunks, and we reheated it in the over and it was still on the wet side. It was filling and overall tasty, but I'm sure there are better places nearby.
(3)Aaron V.
The noise level is horrific! I could not carry on a conversation with my dining companion. As for the food: The salad was excellent!!! It was more than enough for two people and could easily be enough for four. The pizza...another story. We ordered a large with prosciutto and kalamata olives. The pizza came out and was incredibly SALTY. We kept trying to determine whether it was the prosciutto or olives (but if either were good quality, they shouldn't be salty), or whether salt was added to the pizza. Anyway, it was inedible. I'll give it another chance, but won't order that pizza again! The wings looked really good...will have to try that next time.
(3)Will V.
Awesome coal fired pizza! I'm a big fan of this style, and I believe Anthony's does it very well. This location is not the best, but they have several locations in the area, so pick the one that's closest to you. I have found the food does not vary from location to location. The wings are also nice, they are served dry (and seasoned, but not spicy) with grilled onions and bread. The salad is huge, enough to serve as a meal for two people, so be warned. They have some decent wine options on the menu as well. This is one of my favorite places to visit in south Florida.
(5)Tara S.
Loved our meal here. The salad is great and was more than enough for the 4 of us. We had the wings and a fantastic pizza, the chargrilled wings come out covered in caramelized onions and they're delicious. For the pizza, we went with half meatball & ricotta and half prosciutto, caramelized onions, and sautéed mushrooms. OMG, the pizza cooked over the hot coals is awesome, crispy, almost blackened crust... Mmmmmmmm. Go there if you're in the Ft. Lauderdale area!
(4)Jonathan C.
I have had "gourmet pizza" a few times before in Philadelphia... have always been a fan. But I tell you now... I have NEVER had a pizza that even came CLOSE to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizzas! The toppings are sooo delicious... but it's the sauce that makes it! I HIGHLY recommend this pizza joint... make sure you try the charred wings! They are do die for! Five Stars!
(5)Todd M.
Wow. Wow. Pizza. Wow. Anthony's has the secret ingredient for pizza. It's called fresh sausage, onions, cheese and chunky sauce on a great crust in a coal fired oven. The pizza here is phenomenal. I went there around 9pm on a Saturday night shortly after Christmas and there was no wait, but the place was packed! My buddy and I sat down and ordered our pie and a few sodas. Fifteen or 20 minutes later the pie appears. Fresh, hot, perfect. The ingredients are very fresh, and the sauce and crust make this pizza great! Roma tomato sauce, chunky style. And the coal fire gives the pizza crust a perfect flavor and texture. We polished off the pie much faster than it took to make. AND we enjoyed it too. Parking wasn't difficult, though the private lot was full. We just parked along the curb, so no big deal. I wish they would open one of these in the Los Angeles area, where I live! I highly recommend.

We felt discriminated. We asked for hot sauce or Tabasco sauce and the waiter looked at us like we were crazy. Pizza with hot sauce?? He implied that their food would be ruined by adding Tabasco to it. After we were done eating we saw a table with a big bottle of Tabasco sauce. I asked the waiter and he said that those people brought their own hot sauce. If people are bringing hot sauce into the place, that means the owners of this joint dont care about what people want. I wont go back to a place where I have to carry my own bottle of Tabasco. Ridiculous!!! Over rated. get Dominoes!!

Wonderful pizza!! Fresh taste, great coal fired taste, and fresh mozz flavor!! Loved it and highly recommended!!

Anthony's is a great pizza place that stands out from the norm. On Tuesdays in Coral Springs, they have a two-for-one pizza deal that separates them from competition. The atmosphere inside is very nice and a great place to bring the family or on a casual date. They have nice waiters and waitresses, as well as good food outside of pizza.
(4)Bill C.
Best Pizza period! Try one with hot peppers on it... You'll know what I mean...
(5)Yani D.
We love the coal fired wings. The staff always greets you with a smile. Parking can be a challenge, but it is worth the food.
(5)Michael C.
Great Pizza. This is a place I always make a stop out now when I'm out in the Ft. Lauderdale area. The restaurant is always packed, so I normally order ahead and then take the pizza down to the beach and eat it there. My favorite so far is the sausage and broccoli rabe pizza. Huge pieces of sausage, and nice fresh broccoli rabe. The crust and dough is amazing. If you like thin crust pizza, then this is a place you should check out.
(4)ER S.
Very tasty pizza. My husband ordered sausage and broccoli rabe, and it was excellent. My daughter's half of our pizza was cheese, also yummy. I would not recommend my prosciutto and mushroom as they do the non-italian thing of baking the prosciutto (more traditional is to lay it on when it comes out of the oven). I wish they had more salad options (sorry, not a fan of that classic southern italian thing) but the pizza was very good. The parking lot was full long before the restaurant was, by the way... don't let that scare you off.

Great Pizza! I used to do some work for a company in Ft Lauderdale and we visited Anthony's a number of times. The crust is has a nice texture and is just slightly chewy...they way it should be! The full flavored sauce and fresh ingredients make this place worth trying if you're in the area.
(4)Dave S.
Awesome pizza! When we went it was very busy it seems to be a local favorite. Highly recommend.
(5)Arvind G.
Best pizza in town, hands down! The lingering taste of coal burn on the edges of pizza is savory, as is fresh basil on the top. Wings reminded me off Indian clay oven roasted chicken, simply delicious.
(5)luis s.
Paul and Ron special pie! ricotta cheese, meatballs, peppers! wow delicious. damnt now im craving a slice! & the wings get two thumbs up too
(5)Steve N.
The pizzas is great. I didn't find the crust to be burnt at all. The place is a bit loud but you get used to that quick.
(5)Addy S.
best grilled wings. best pizza. casual but very classy and cozy. always hopping and they play a lot of the sports games, etc, but not overly loud or rowdy. service is always good and classy. this isn't the type of place for a quick slice of pizza, etc. this is more of the gourment or for a full pie. sit down type of thing. only drawback, drop the bottled soda. i love a lot of soda with my meal and this adds up. i can blow 10 dollars on soda here.
(5)Max N.
My mom is a snowbird and spends the winter in FT Lauderdale so I got to enjoy this little gem on my last visit. I ate here 3 nights in a row and I still wanted more! I love pizza and I have to say Anthony's is one of the best I have ever eaten. To begin with, this place is LOUD, do not go here if you are looking to catch up with a girlfriend etc because you will barely be able to here each other talk. There are many tv's playing various sports games so that adds to the noise level. My mom and I ordered a small cheese pizza, a salad and their famous chicken wings to share. Our salad soon arrived and I have to say it was delicous! Not everyone use's "delicious" to describe a salad but this one truly is. The salad arrives in a large bowl and consists of the following: Fresh, crispy lettuce that is cut into chunks, thick slices of tomato, sliced red onion, chunks of cucumber and Gorgonzola cheese topped with a light vinagrette. You can see and taste the ingredients and it is fresh beyond belief. Yum! The wings arrived next and I have to say I was not overly impressed. I like chicken wings with a sauce these are crispy and garlicky served with grilled onions. Good but not great and I would not order them again. The pizza, ahhhh, I will dream about this pizza! Thin, crispy and delicioso! The tomato sauce tastes like it was just made and you can taste the freshness of the tomato, the cheese is top quality and plentiful which results in a perfect pizza! Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 (1 waiter is very rude) Ambience: 2/5 think loud sports bar not a place to relax and chat FYI Another plus, they offer pick up service and bring the pizza to your car.
(5)Rafael S.
The atmosphere is busy and it *seems* like they might have good pizza until you look at the menu and see there's 9 pizzas and no veggie pizza option. I'm no vegetarian but you don't have to be one to see there's something missing here. Most +$15 a pizza places have dozens of options (think Piola's in SoBe or Andiamo's in Miami) for toppings, etc...and here it's just a crust that's blackened...and they charge for refills!
(2)ilya b.
Good pizza, but management may want to rethink how to control temperature on the inside. The AC was blasting full power It was freezing. Despite multiple requests the staff refused to adjust it up.
(2)William W.
The hostess lost our name on the list, so we waited quite a while to get seated. Some places might give you a free beverage or something for that inconvenience, but that didn't happen. Then the waiter... it's not often that I simply don't like the waiter, but I didn't like that guy. Pizza and salad were tasty, but I'm not going back.
(2)Sergio C.
I'll admit it, I am a fan of Paul and Young Ron; I always wanted to see just how good the pizza is at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. It's good pizza. Our family had lunch there on Sunday, and we all enjoyed the pizza, the ambiance in the restaurant, and each other. While the pizza is a little pricey, it's worth it.
(3)Arielle G.
Great salads but you have to have a taste for burnt pizza (coal fired).
(4)Fred J.
I have ordered takout from here once and will most likely never return. I called in my pizza ahead of time, arrived 20 minutes later as specified and was told my pizza wasn't ready. Ten minutes after waiting, the cashier came out and said, "you had the mushroom pizza, right?", my response was yes and I started to get up to go inside to get it, she then said, "oh, no no no, it's not ready yet." Ten to fifteen minutes later, she emerged with my pizza, which was piping hot. Never to mention they screwed up either my order, gave it to someone else, or just never even made it until I got there. If you can't admit your mistakes and give a discount, if not a free pizza for your own mistake then you don't get me as a customer. Honesty is always the best policy and apparently Anthony's doesn't go by this statement. Decent pizza, terrible reheated the next day, definitely not good enough for them to receive my business again.
(1)Carol M.
Been here 4 or 5 times - not by choice, but because everyone always wants to check this place out. The salad is good, and the pizza would probably be good if they didn't BURN THE CRUST EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's almost a joke. I guess "Coal Fire" Means the crust will look like coal and taste like it's been through a fire. very disappointing...
(1)Louis K.
This place is great! I recommend getting the standard Italian salad, it was excellent. The pizza has an unusual flare to it, which is a great change of pace. And save room for dessert, it was outstanding.
(4)Rich K.
One of my favorite places for pizza in South Florida. Every time I fly into the Fort Lauderdale airport I stop at this place for pizza and wings. I like thin crust pizza, and this place does it right.
(4)Julie G.
My party and I were seated as soon as we walked in to the pretty packed restaurant (although the people walking in behind us were not quite as lucky). The wings weren't as crispy as we would have liked but the pizza was good. Mozzarella tasted fresh but the pizza sauce was a little on the salty side. I understand the pizza comes well done but parts tasted very burnt, not good. Server was efficient and attentive. I would return if I was hungry enough.
(4)Tammie S.
The only place I will eat pizza. So yummy
(5)Rosa C.
Great food, prices and service. The selection is limited to pizza so five stars if that's all your group wants. Their lunch size personal pizza is huge for $6. We loved it all.
(4)Andrew B.
Best pizza ever! If there was 6 stars, I'd wish there were 7 to rate this pizza! Go there as soon as you are able! Service was amazing too! Incredible!
(5)Cory S.
Having been many times, from the opening day till now one thing is for sure, this place knows what they are doing. Tonight me and the wife ordered small wings and small pizza. Wings arrived very fast and our server Michael T ( I think ) could have not been more helpful and out going, this guy was on top of his game. As always wings are the best in the city hands down ( not fried of course ). Pizza did take a little long to arrive, but at no fault to the server or staff the place for a sunday at 8pm was very crowded. All in all I would say hands down third best pizza of my life ( 1. NYC, 2. ATL ) but you are not in New York or Atlanta so why not have the best pizza in South Florida. There have been many other coal fired pizza places show up and disappear and one reason why would be they lack something Anthonys has which is passion. I do not see this place going down hill, so go there order wings, order pizza and eat till your sick...
(5)Marty L.
Never had coal fired pizza before until now. I realized after my first bite that I had been missing something good for most of my adult life. Better late than never! And wow those wings with the carmelized onions are a reason to keep on living. I hope to see a location in the Chicago, Illinois area so I can enjoy this food again soon.
(5)Kevin M.
Decent pizza, but not worth the wait, the price, or the attitude.
(2)Jimmy K.
My kids and I are on vacation in Fort Lauderdale. They wanted pizza, so I checked out pizza places on Yelp. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza had excellent reviews, so I thought that we'd give it a try. Well the pizza WAS excellent. I had a pizza with sausage with onions. Only Santarpio's in Boston has a better sausage pizza. My kids had pepperoni, which was also very good. The pizza's were very flavorful, and were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend Anthony's if you want a pizza better than you can get at your neighborhood pizzaria.
(5)Curtis D.
You have to remember, some people like one type of pizza some like another. This is thin, well done, coal fire pizza- and it doesn't get any better than this. As well, the chicken wings, while not buffalo style, are delicious and I could eat nothing by their meatball for the rest of my life and be totally happy. There's usually a wait, but if there's a place worth the wait, this is it.
(5)Jay A.
We love this place. Wings are great and the pizza with pepperoni and ricotta...Yum!!! Take out makes it easy to avoid long waits.
(5)Dee C.
WHOA. Great pizza, I finished a 12" pizza by myself it was that good. I never thought I'd ever want to eat eggplant on a pizza, but I was schooled. Must go back soon!
(5)Chris G.
Great pizza and the wings are not bad - not Buffalo at all - but baked and an interesting sauce. Go for the za not the wings.
(2)Gerry R.
Probably (in my opinion) one of the best pizza'a in Soth Florida, a close second to Dilorenzo's in trenton NJ. Pizza is very good and you can almost taste the coal.. way above average pizza, NY style of course.
(5)Norman O.
Very tasty-cheese, sauce, toppings, but crust somewhat thicker and a little less charred than the true top-of-the-line coal oven places in New York and New Haven. Worth a visit if you're down there, but not a pilgrimage like Sally's or Pepe's or (the original) Totonno's.
(4)Brooke Von H.
I'm a pizza snob and this place was a real disappointment. First, I went for lunch on a beautiful Oct day. I walked into a dark, freezing cold cave. The blinds were drawn, artificial lights on, TVs blaring, and a loud lunch crowd reminiscent of a sports bar. The atmosphere was awful. If you can't make me feel like I'm in Rome, at least make the pizza taste like it. That didn't happen either. My margherita pizza was just OK. Nothing special. I won't return.
(2)Gregg -.
Great pizza, fast, unique flavor. The toppings really add flavor due to the high heat the pizza is cooked at. I usually go with mushroom, peperoni. The small parking lot tends to fill fast, but there is another lot across the street and behind. The restaurant can be full of kids if you go during peak times on weekends.
(5)Laura K.
Hands down the best pizza in Fort Lauderdale. The ingredients are always the freshest and you can really taste the fresh herbs they use. I have a hard time getting anything other than the sausage and mushroom pizza because the sausage they use is the best I've had in the city. Try the focaccia bread as well - it's phenomenal. The wings are a little different because they are baked and not fried, but they also use fresh herbs on them. Definately much more healthy version of chicken wings, but not like the traditional bar food version most people are used to.
(5)Jared P.
Meh - terribly loud and cramped. The pizza is okay/good, but not great. I had to sit beside a loud and annoying Fran Drescher double... I shoul have saved myself the walk and ordered Papa John's.
(2)Chris C.
Great service is what keeps me coming back. Pizza is good and has a coal fire taste that is a bit strong, but the crust unfortunately is surprisingly too soggy. Otherwise it is a great place when you are not on a diet.
(4)sam a.
We love this place! Only reason it didn't get 5 stars was that the menu was a bit limited on our trip. I'd love to have seen coal fired bruschetta or some caprese on the menu...but if you love thin pizza thats "Well Done", this is your place! We ordered Peppers on ours, and because of the way the pizza is made, they became "Roasted Peppers" adding a lot of dimension to the taste. All of their pizza is coal fired, so expect soot/carbon...it doesn't mean that the pizza comes "dirty" - just well done with a really crispy/crunchy crust. We didnt order much off the wine/beer menu, our soda was from 20 oz bottles, but very cold none the less. The location on Federal has the feel of a very trendy bar with the selection of booze to match it- the look/feel of the place is high end and the boisterous crowd and noise level on a Wednesday night at 9 pm were very welcome. If you're looking for a sleepy hole in the wall...you may be better served elsewhere. As with any place that gets popular, parking can be a challenge. They have a spillover lot across the street, so dont panic if you turn into their small lot and there's none available in front of the restaurant. Prices were just a little bit lower than expected for "gourmet" pizza...but if they raise prices, I'd probably find elsewhere. Heartily recommended...and even though they're a chain, its good food with good atmosphere and ok prices.
(4)Mitch M.
Had to come to the Ft Lauderdale area with my mom to settle some family business back in July. Thanks to fellow Yelpers, I went to this place directly from the airport (by the way it's really close to the airport, just sayin' so if your hungry from a long west coast flight). Anyway did the chicken wings, side of meatballs (with rigotta), salad caprese with basil and peppers and a pizza. We couln't believe we ate the whole thing... Frikin' fantastic. Maybe I'm being a little dramatic because we are starved for any decent Italian food on the west coast, but it was great. Pizza thin crust, great sauce and cheese. Meatballs off the hook and those wings mildly seasoned and tossed in the coal fire oven with the carmelized onions. That salad was something special as well. Like the other reviews, go to this place. This place did get crowed and had we waited to eat it would have sucked sitting outside in the muggy Fl air.
(5)Zebulon Z.
Don't believe the hype. This pizza is crap!
(1)Lindsay F.
Their pizza is great, but my favorite thing they have are the wings-- they are awesome!
(5)Noel D.
great baked wings, the bread that comes with it its great too, i recommend the prosciutto pizza, just go wit time cause there aint much room so you bound to wait
(4)Johnny B.
It was good, but I don't think it was anything spectacular. On pair with most coal fired pizza places, I think. Location isn't that greatest, especially at night.
(3)Patricia O.
Best pizza in south Florida! Discover this awesome pizza joint 4 to 5 years later and completely fall in love. It's as fresh as it can gets. Their well done crust gives it an outstanding flavor. Chicken wings r good too. Try their pepperonni and mushroom pizza and don't forget to ask for a side of fresh park cheese. If possible order to go, takes only 15-20 min instead of waiting!!
(5)Jacquelin R.
Anthony's is an amazing pizza. It is like nothing you have ever had before, or will ever have. It's coal fired so expect the bottom to be a little smoky. If you don't like a well done pizza this is not the place for you. If you like them... man will you love this pizza. Anthony's Pizza has a few locations throughout South FL they are expanding rapidly. I do not eat meat anymore but when I did I used to get the wings... and they are super great. They are garlic with rosemary and other herbs like nothing you have ever had before. I am not crazy about cheesecake in general but their deserts are pretty good. I enjoyed their salad too... this is a huge salad enough for 2 people at least. The restaurant is super clean and you are eating the best ingredients in town.
(5)C P.
another favorite...if your gona goto a pizza restaurant ..this is the spot. try the wings very good.
(4)Neil B.
Simply the best pizza and salad in Ftl. The food will do the talking here. Staff is friendly and efficient. Enjoy!
(4)Cari G.
Wanted a great wood fired tasty thin crust pizza and they definitely delivered. The chicken wings are delicious and are drenched in sautéed onions. Wonderful flavor. I ordered the infamous Anthony and young Ron pizza which has meatballs, sausage, ricotta and peppers (sweet or hot). The large is HUGE! Upon arrival (located in a strip mall) the parking guy directed me to a spot. I noticed about 15 people waiting to be seated. I was told the wait was 1.5 hours (thanksgiving eve about 7pm). I sat at the bar and ate. The bartender Melissa was fantastic. When trying to order a glass of wine she allowed me to taste a few until I found one I liked. My only negative there was the wine list. Minimal choices and not very good at best. I settled on buying a. bottle and took half of it home. When Melissa learned I had just moved there, she brought over some of the chicken wings to taste. Delicious! The bar area was friendly and comfortable. I waited about 20 minutes for my pizza and gosh was it good. I tasted the cauliflower pizza and that will be my next order. The arugula pizza was piled high with fresh green arugula. The ricotta in the pizza was yummy. The crust was thin, crunchy, and tasty. While I was way to full to even sample an espresso or cappuccino, I did think twice about the New York style cheesecake but just couldn't do it. Midway through the meal, the manager Jeremy came over to see how my meal was. He was also very personable and would have righted any wrong (IF their was one!!). I highly recommend this restaurant and I would sit and eat at the bar again. Melissa was very attentive and I met some very nice people!!
(4)Leah C.
Beer special on Peroni the time I went was a nice deal. The pizza itself is great!! I like my crust cripsy and thin so this was just the spot for me. Try the wings on the starter menu. They are tasty!
(4)Naty K.
Great service every time I come here and remarkably good pizza for a chain restaurant. I have been told it's very close to New York style pizza, which is why many New Yorkers will come here and consider this their go-to place once they become residents of the Sunshine State. Their ribs are also pretty tasty, and come with peperoncinis. Whenever I crave pizza, I feel like coming here, but it just happens to be a bit far for me. For now, Spris on Lincoln will do.
(5)Sal G.
Coal fired pizza is one of those fads that is seeing a meteoric rise in the number of purveyors. For most of these restaurants, the entire concept is just a gimmick to draw in a large number of unknowing people to eat the same, tired old pizza that anyone can get at any average pizza joint. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is not one of those joints. I must say that I am a fan of the full ambiance as well as the food. Over my multiple visits I have ordered the following items: Pepperoni Pizza Roasted Cauliflower Pizza Meatballs with Ricotta Cheese and Flatbread Ribs Chicken Wings Everything goes through the coal fired oven at some point. The meatballs and ricotta don't have too much filler and taste really good with the sauce. The ribs fall off the bones and pick up the flavor of the onions, peppers and vinegar. The chicken wings are cooked with onions and I really do love their flavor when they are slightly seared. The two things that stand out with the traditional pizza are the crust and the sauce. The crust is always cooked well done and borders on being burnt. In many instances it actually is burnt. A little too burnt for my taste; but it is balanced by the sauce. The sauce has a peppery and tangy taste to it that is very reminiscent of the sauce from a Chicago style pizza. I really do enjoy the overall flavor. Out of the two pizzas, though, I must say that I enjoyed the Roasted Cauliflower Pizza. For anyone with a nightshade allergy, this is the pizza for them since there is no red sauce. This is a white pizza through and through. The flavors were all there and they were great. I want to try it one or two more times just to see how consistent it is, unfortunately I have to find someone willing to eat it with me. All food aside, the service is always spot on: quick, courteous, and accurate. They really know how to turn tables properly at this establishment.
(4)Big J.
I over heard a co worker talking about here & decided to check it out , had passed by this location & assume it was just another pizza joint, went in was greeted , seated & served in a timely manner , judging from the staff attentive service shows that the management is doing an excellent job , I had the wings & the ribs , the wings was great & tasty but the ribs exceed my taste buds expectations , I was in awe , eating tasteful ribs at a pizza place, lets leave it at, that won't be the last sat night I'll be there eating ribs lol, b4 leaving I request to see the manager to express my enjoyment
(5)Mark C.
Great service. Pizza delicious. Italian Sausage very good. I like middle a little crispier personally, but excellent favors nevertheless. Will return!
(4)Danny H.
Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza is hands down the best pizza in Miami. It's crispy and can be complimented with great sides, great salads and they make amazing baked chicken wings...the chicken wings are really really good, on par with the pizza. I don't think they deliver but they do take out. Perfect Sunday night kind of spot. DH For more reviews by a Miami Beach local check out DannyHertzbergBlog.com
(5)Linda R.
Ugh....I used to like this place but went today and had a meatball sub...what are they thinking??? A spicy meatball??? Wth???? On pizza dough?? Really?? Not a Good flavor at all, yuck!! Won't order that EVER again... better to stick to the pizza here!! Pizza is descent if you like we'll done crust.
(2)Hope P.
Walk right in to a good looking welcoming staff at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza ready to serve you. There's a huge bar on your right as you walk in, ready for you to drink and eat. I came right of the plane to come straight to Anthony's. I sat at the back of the restaurant with my man , and Michael (Michaelangelo, like the artist painter) the owner sat down and chatted with us...very cool nice guy. The art on the walls are fun to look at, love the Beatles and nostalgic memorablia. We ordered tomato, soo yummy and fresh mozzarella salad and it had some diced basil and roasted red and green peppers and onions. I added Balsamic vinegar. The tables are well equiped with Oil, Vinegar, salt, pepper, Hot Chili Flakes, and parmesean cheese. For the lunch I ordered the fantastic Anthony's Classic Italian salad and had it topped off with Roast Beef. The salad is made with Romaine and has a delicious vinegary-dressing and came with Gargonzola Cheese on the side, lots of Kalamata olives and Porcini marinated peppers. The Roast beef has added delicious spices and roasted in the coal oven...it was to die for! I have ordered the Broccoli Rabe & Sausage it was soo good nice tasting sausage and the broccoli rabe was cooked in the olive oil. The Wings are another must try. Baked in the Coal oven and smothered in onions and comes with fresh baked Focaccia bread makes it a delicacy. The Arugula Pizza is my fav. Its a traditional tomato sauce, mozzarella pizza topped with Arugula. The Arugula changes the flavor of the pizza so slightly its heaven on the palate, and the pizzas always comes nice and crispy..there is no other way! And Yes it is a masterpiece you MUST TRY!
(5)Dave S.
Great pizza.. One of my favorites! The menu is small but the items are tasty. I just get the pepperoni pizza which is the best in town. The chicken wing and anthonys salad are excellent too.. a must try
(4)Andy C.
great food all around. hands down the best pizza in Florida. love the coal fired crust. wings are very tasty. they also have some runway 84 favorites like eggplant Marino and meatballs. a tad loud and they don't take reservations. it fills up fast. not great for a group, unless you can pre book. the salads are great too. we love the arugala pizza. good beer and wine selection too.
(5)Lavi M.
Anthony's... Anthony's... Anthony's... WHERE HAVE U BEEN ALL MY LIFE? *Sigh* Listen, my friend Emma L. is here, like, ALLLLLL the time. So after, like, her 15 thousandth check in since she became my friend, like, 2 weeks ago, I began to wonder. Either the food was really good, or, well... the food was really good. So, when Emma invited me to lunch, ya know I was going, right? :) Guess what? The food is not really good. It's SUPER DUPER good. I know what you're thinking? "Lavi... you've only been there once. How good could it be?" My answer: VERY FRIGGIN GOOD! Listen, I've only tried 2 things, meatballs and pizza with fresh mozz. That's enough. I'm SOLD. I could really kick myself, too, cuz I work about a mile away and my co-workers have been offering to take me here for 6 years and I refused because I thought they had no taste. This is the ONLY time I can say they were right. Oh, and I almost forgot, the staff is SUPER DUPER good as well. Well, not just good. More like awesome. Our waitress, Angelina, is so sweet, I think she's made at least 50% of sugar. And, then there's Jeremy, the GM, and the lovely, illustrious Emma L.'s bf. This cool guy made our pizza with his bare heads. Granted, I'm sure he does that a lot, but I'm conceited so I think it's pretty special! lol Bottom Line: Get here NOW. STUFF UR FACE. Send me a compliment for steering you in the right direction! Your welcome!
(4)Michael W.
Was staying at the Crown Plaza down the street. Discovered Anthony's walking down the street trying to find a place to eat. Was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I grew up in Brooklyn with Italian Grandparents and friends. I tend to be a little critical with Italian restaurants. The broccoli rabe pizza was awesome .Eggplant parmesan was delicious. Wait staff was very personable and took great pride in their restaurant. Will eat there again next I'm in the area.
(4)Tricia T.
I was literally writing this review in my head as I ate. :) I'm pregnant and have YET to say "I'm eating for two"... but I tell you what - - THIS PLACE made me eat for two!! WOW!!!! What a great experience! Ambiance - awesome! love the dark wood and warm walls, felt like I was at a place nicer than just a pizzeria. LOVED all of the music and sports memorabilia on the walls. TV's were all around - so you could still catch the game. FOOD - loved the salad!!! LOVED the pizza!!! We happen to drive past this place while we were in town on vacation, so of course I yelped and found that it was rated VERY highly. We knew it was a must-try. And we were NOT dissapointed. Before we left we were talking about whether or not we wanted to get one to go, or just go back again before we leave. Ha Ha. My husband said something that I had to laugh at... "I'm in Pizza Bliss". Enjoy this fab pizza place with great ambiance!
(5)Kyle v.
I've enjoyed fantastic pizza in Chicago, New York, California (we try REALLY hard to make good pizza!) and plenty of other places. It's now all in second place, at best. The slogan on the wall at Anthony's says, "Warning, our pizza is...well done." Understatement. The pizza was fantastic. Amazing selections and combinations. Also, the simplicity might only be eclipsed by the left coast's In-N-Out Burgers...pizza, wings, a couple of salads, beer and wine. And all good. But the win here is the service. The place was packed on a Friday night around the holidays. It was packed when we arrived, packed when we ate and packed when we left. And the service was spectacular. Everywhere you turned, there were helpful eyes on your table...all you had to do was look up and someone would catch your eye, cruise over, and get whatever you needed. Not in a premature, creepy, "Hi, welcome to [Department Store], what can I help you with"-way, but in a "No worries, we won't make you wait until it's 'your table's turn' again to get you that beer or that side of whatevers"-way. They have a list of toppings for make-your-own pizzas and then a bunch of crazy-good looking specials with other toppings. I loved their answers when I asked if we could get some of those toppings from the Specials pizzas on a build-our-own pizza: "You can have pretty much whatever you want." Super casual and comfortable staff there. Friendly, but not like the fake-bro-friendly where you know they're trying to goose their tip. These people were legit enough that I almost right-footed my father-in-law out of his seat to give it to the servers to hang with us. If a restaurant deserved to have pompous or pretentious servers, this might be the place, but there was no sign of it. After about 2.2 seconds, it seemed like they knew us and treated us as regulars. Everyone was there...old, young, old-that-thought-they-were-young, kids, shorts-n-t-shirt crowd, button-down-and-khakis crowd, wine-drinkers, beer-drinkers, whatevers. The wait to get the table went too quickly...we were sitting on the sofas outside with our drinks when they came and got us. They even had someone out in the parking lot helping people find spots if the tight lot was packed at the time. I heard there are other good spots in Ft. Lauderdale for dinner. I'm not interested. I need to get back to Anthony's for another arugula, prosciutto and sweet pepper pizza. After I try more of the rest of their options.

Great pizza generous quality toppings, what make 5 stars is the service which needs little improvement and sharpened customer service skills. Did they do anything wrong? No.....but robotic in nature and lacking a smile from our waitress.....without a smile ...nothing registers. Great pizza in a flash I have to say.

I love a place that concentrates on one thing and delivers, and that is Anthony's in a nutshell. On the wall is a sign that says "Warning! Our pizza is well done", and that is the truth. Great pizza. Note: We had a very sensible cheese and sausage, not any of the house specials (arugula & capicola pizza anyone?) off the menu, so perhaps someone more adventurous could try one of those.
(5)Elie T.
Excellent pizzas, the best in town! A really great place for sports on TV and a good pizza. Only 4 stars because, it is usually too cold and without a sweater I could not stay, no ice tea refill and often very loud. A must go.

From our previous trip to the area, we knew that Anthony's was the place for pizza. We went here for dinner and though it was packed, we only had a short wait. I was pleased to see that someone here knew their brews and had a solid list of craft beers for us. Lagunitas, Magic Hat and Bell's were all there. None of the Bud Light Lime or Lite crap-man up. We had a few rounds of the two hearted and we each got pizzas. Straight margarita for the lady, the Paul and Young Ron for me-Meatball, sausage, hot peppers and ricotta. We both liked our pizzas and devoured them. They had ample toppings, the cheese and sauce were good and the coal fired crust was perfect. Great pizza and great beer, winning.

Well I stopped by on the way to the airport and had an amazing sammie...the Coal Oven Chicken Sandwich. Apart from some slight charring on the bread/pie, the chicken, tomato and arugula along with melted mozzarella blended like a charm. Juice from the sandwich made it an oozing 3 napkin affair. Awesome! It was on the lunch menu, so kudos to the bartender for letting know. She didn't steer me wrong. Yum!

Excellent pizza and a huge salad that could feed 3 or 4. Excellent service. Clean location. Right across from Ace Rent a Car. This was my first stop.

I don't know what it is about Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza locations, but the staff at every single one I've been to (4 to date) has been exceptional. This one by the airport in Ft. Lauderdale is no exception. I live in Miami but most of my friends fly in to FLL to visit. I make an effort to take them to Anthony's before their flight on the way out every time, and every one of them has enjoyed it as much as I have. The last two times I've been to this location, I've eaten at the bar and been served by the bartender Natalie. She is easily one of the most friendly and professional bartenders I've ever come across. Not only is she quick and professional, but she is always exceptionally friendly. She takes the time to explain menu items, recommend alternatives, and always has our food out quickly and with a smile. And, the food. Amazing. In all my trips to various Anthony's I've sampled about 75% of their menu. Everything I've had has been amazing. From the broccoli rabe and sausages, to the meatballs and marinara, pizza with finger peppers, even the salads and bread - all of them have been incredible. This place serves true Italian comfort food at affordable prices with exceptional service. I will go back to Anthony's every chance I get.
(5)Dan B.
How could this place not get five stars. The pizza is a given that it is really good. But you got to try the ribs. Like nothing I have never tried before. Wow were they good.
(5)Sach M.
Great pizzas, ample parking, friendly staff and excellent service, what else do I need? May be the beach :)

Was in town to take a cruise. We stayed the night before in a nearby hotel. When asking the locals where to get a great lunch the overwhelming response was this restaurant! It would be a five star review if we only ordered the pizza, but the wings which were really being hyped were pretty boring overall. The pizza however.... oh man. That was the BEST pizza I've ever had in my life. The hubby and I still recall it fondly, lol. We got the Paul and Young Ron with half sweet peppers and half hot peppers. It came with mini meatballs and sausage and ricotta. If we didn't live over 1000 miles away I would return often. Thanks for a great meal to remember FL by! PS I posted pics of the meal if you care to see....
(4)Vicki S.
Great pizza with unusual toppings, Anthony's never lets me down. I have friends who live near the Anthony's on US1 by the airport who don't eat meat so we usually order the cauliflower pizza. I love veggie pizzas and this one is my personal favorite, it's delicious, much better than you would think it possibly could be because the cauliflower is highly seasoned. I usually add some wings and salad to my order. Honestly for me this place is really "comfort food" I would give it 5 stars but there are a couple of things I don't love about the place - it's really noisy, and there's not enough parking. Even with the across the street lot there are often no open spots. But the food and service more than makes up for it. I'm a fan!
(4)kevin O.
Best pizza ever! Had the meatball and ricotta great crust, sauce, and tons of mini amazing meatballs. Saw a food show on Fort Lauderdale food last week and happened to be coming down from Worcester.
(5)Dan M.
I went here with the family today based on the score on here i thought why not. My family is really Italian and I used to live in nyc for years so I'd like to think I know a thing or two about good pizza. We started with the calamari and lemme just say it was AWFUL. They managed to over cook it beyond chewy; nearly inedible (and my father agreed). After complaining to the cute waitress and expecting at least a free appetizer or for them to remake it...nope. Finally after the calamari disaster we got to try the cheese pizza 16" pie. It's coal fired and just the right amount of crispy. Honestly some of the best pizza in town. And for 5 bucks you could even get a personal za'. If it wasn't for the calamari experience this place would have a 4 but I have to take off one for the rubber calamari.
(3)Mariam D.
Anthony's offers a limited menu of coal fired pizza, wings, and salad, as well as limited parking to add to the experience. This is a popular place to grab lunch with coworkers or a quick bite if you're in the area, but as indicated by the definition of a two-star review, I've definitely experienced better. Worth a try because everyone in South Fla talks about this place, but don't go out of your way. (0.5 star) for the wings...they're served in a pool of oil and onions + (0.5 star) for charring a pizza that is already struggling to be complete + (1 star) for friendly and attentive service= my 2-star review.
(2)Tamara B.
Really good eggplant pizza! Wings were awesome!! Bathrooms are Clean and very well maintained Satisfied!
(4)Andrew J.
I recently visited Anthony's for the first time, and I was impressed with the experience. The restaurant is well decorated and suitable for either a date night or a good time with friends. The pizza selections are numerous, and you can mix and match. We ordered a half cheese, half meatball & ricotta pizza, along with a lunch salad. The salad was big, and the pizza arrived with an appropriately crispy crust. I was most impressed by the light amount of grease on the pizza--you don't feel the need to dab a napkin on top. Strangely, all sodas are served with a glass of ice and the can, which I found...low class. Please get a soda fountain so we can have more room on the table.
(4)Sam L.
The BEST Pizza in Ft Lauderdale!
(5)Bob S.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is simply the best! They have a culture of customer service, reliability and quality that is unmatched not only in South Florida but around the country! I dine at one of their locations at least twice a week, sometimes more. The Fort Lauderdale location with Michelangelo, Jeremy, Natalie, Casey, Melissa P, Kelly, Alejandra, Melissa A, Melina, Mikey, Bryan, Coley, Gaby and Pat is unrivaled! Every so often I get to talk to Anthony himself. There is no better pizza, tuna, meatballs in Florida. Thanks for great food and a great dining experience. You all rock!
(5)Rick A.
Being an Italian New Yorker I recently tried anthonys pizza which was very good, the salad was just like my grandma used to make , service excellent and an overall positive experience! Highly recommend! Try his upscale runway 84 for real Italian food!

According to the menu, their "traditional pie consists of the finest mozzarella, Italian plum tomatoes, Romano cheese, basil & olive oil." Overall, pizza tasted great - my only complaint was too much char on the crust. I wish I'd remembered to take a photo b/c I know "char" can be a debatable topic. I love eating crust, I don't mind eating slightly charred crust, but I don't particularly care for crust that clearly looks very burnt - like really very black. Still, minus the black crust, the other parts were good enough to warrant 4 stars - plus service was very friendly. We did carry-out, and ordered 2 pizzas, 1 large and 1 small. The large is a 16" which is $14.75, + $2.50 for the 1st additional topping and $1.50 thereafter. We got the Italian sausage & sweet peppers. Delicious. The small is a 12" for $11.75, + $1.50 for each additional topping. We got the prosciutto & mushrooms. If you love prosciutto, get the prosciutto b/c they give you a very generous amount ... if you just sorta like prosciutto, don't get it b/c it made for a very salty pizza. I'd probably try the pepperoni next time. Thanks to Embassy Suites for helping me find this place - it was listed as one of their nearby restaurants, and thanks to Yelp for helping me decide this place might be worth visiting based on their great reviews. Place was packed during lunch - the parking lot was full. Parking lot guy was nice and let us park on the curb since we were doing carry-out. If you are doing carry-out, I'd recommend getting drinks elsewhere - their 20 oz. bottle of Coke cost $2.65.
(4)Sabrina S.
I usually love this place. I guess now they are busy enough that they have thrown customer service out the window. I called in an order this evening. My husband and child went to pick it up. When they arrived the staff could not find my order. They made the wrong thing charges my husband $50 and he brought it home. I called to speak with a manager. He finally admitted that they did not make my order after arguing with me on the phone (really?? Arguing with a customer??). He then proceeded to lie and tell me that they made why my husband asked for from scratch. That isn't even possible. Only 15 minutes had elapsed since my husband sent a text telling me they were u able to find the order and when he arrived at home. We live 15 minutes away. Therefore they just gave him (probably someone else's order). I very upset mostly because of the unnecessary rudeness. How hard is it to say I'm sorry and make the order correctly. Apparently too hard for the manager at Anthony's on Federal. Sad. It was my favorite pizza place for years. I won't be returning.
(1)James R.
The absolute hands-down best pizza and chicken wings anywhere.
(5)Jessie L.
I just ate the most greasiest piece of shit that I've ever eaten in my life. I ordered the Italian tuna salad sandwich on focaccia bread. This heart attack on a plate made me feel like I just ordered 10 Big Macs from McDonald's. Might as well have injected it into my artery. They also don't have enough choices on their menu. I'd like to see more Italian dishes. They don't even have a side of pasta. Very disappointed in Anthony's because, normally, their pizza, salad, and wings are very good.
(2)Jeff D.
This review is location specific.....ONLY for the Anthony's @ 2203 S Federal Highway The other Anthony's we've been to so many times are fantastic... Ft Lauderdale on the other hand....is like a completely different restaurant. We stopped for dinner en route home from the beach...2 parents...3 kids...OBVIOUSLY from the beach. There were maybe 7 tables seated. I order wings, meatballs & 2 pizzas...i tell the guy we are starving, just bring them out whenever they come up. meatballs come out 1st....13 minutes later the wings come out 25 MINUTES after the wings....we still dont have any pizza. our sheet for brains waiter thought he was working at Anthony's Runway 84 & staggered our entire order...didnt put the wings in until the meatballs came out and then didnt put the pizza in until the wings came i asked the female manager what the problem was & she said "this is the standard wait time based on the ticket". i said that i understand it is....but this guy should have ordered the pizzas 40 minutes ago. she then told me that ours was the next pizza out...i said we are leaving if it isnt...it wasnt....so we left we have been to Anthony's in weston, coral springs, pembroke pines, aventura AND orlando...and have always had a great time & a waiter or waitress w/ common sense. the fact that the manager backed him up was most disappointing if only the staff at ft lauderdale Anthony's was as good as the pizza
(1)Emily G.
I have been here about 3 or 4 times and my experience has always been exactly the same: suuuuper long wait, relatively fast service and good pizza. The good pizza is to be expected, however my 4 star review stems from the surprisingly delicious salad. Why? Cause lets face it, most pizza places have ridiculously sucky salads. They put a whole head of lettuce with 2 peppers and one whole tomato and they toss it with nasty ranch. Bleh. But not Anthony's. Their simple (and only salad) composed of lettuce, onions, feta cheese, olives and chick peas (tossed in a slightly oily dressing) is light yet flavorful and the perfect combo to a pizza coming up next. I emptied that salad bowl in seconds. After such a good start, your night can only get better as their small selection of pizzas are also pretty delicious. The meatball and sausage pizza with sweet peppers is probably their biggest one and most flavorful as it has tons of ingredients... and its 99% meat. The eggplant one is also tasty and the meatball/sausage with HOT peppers is quite dangerous as they put entire peppers there, ready to scorch your entire inner workings. Finally, as simple and tasty as the arugula pizza is, I don't recommend it unless you are planning on finishing the whole thing at the restaurant - it doesn't quite work as a 'leftovers' pizza. Top it up with a couple of beers and wine and you have a winning combination. Oh and if it looks full, Anthony's has 3 different parking areas around that neighborhood, so keep on looking!
(4)Collin B.
Love this pizza. I'm of the opinion that most pizza is good (hard to mess up too bad) and very little is stand out. This is stand out. Their wings are also awesome.
(4)J. S.
I'm skeptical of any pizzeria with an Italian-American name -- Joe's, Anthony's, Tony's, Sal's -- they all usually have mediocre pizza and awful salads. Why not just sell pizza? At least in Jersey we have Italian Cheeseburgers, but, oh well. At Anthony's, the pizza's okay, nothing special. The wing's and salads are surprisingly...good. The service is attentive, again, nothing special. If you really want 4 or 5-star authentic-Italian pizza, then I'd hit up Panaretto's on SE 17th street (not far from Anthony's). I usually get their fresh tomato and basil pie -- you'll enjoy the slight char and great flavor -- they have pretty decent wings, too. ? Note ? There's very limited parking space. In fact, they have a guy out there directing people in and out of the lot. If you're no Jean Russo, then polish on your parking skills before arriving.
(3)Alex C.
good pizza and good wings. this is suppose to be their original location as well. i was referred here by a co-worker and was NOT disappointed. the pizza is delicious and the caramelized onions over the simply seasoned wings with just enough char is amazing. i'll definitely be back.
(4)Michael B.
I really don't know if you will find a better pizza anywhere. We stopped by this place for lunch on a Friday and it was somewhat busy, but the service was top-notch. Were waived into the parking lot by an attendant who looks like is there to make sure there are empty spots available (otherwise he will direct you to park elsewhere.) As we walked in there was someone greeting us at the door. Waiter was quick, gave good suggestions. The food is phenomenal. We tried the eggplant for appetizer. It was amazing. Just enough cheese and sauche, and the eggplant PERFECTLY cooked. I know everyone says to get the wings, but man, this is definitely a must try. We got a small pizza with Sausage, Prosciutto and Mushrooms. It was awesome! So much flavor, toppings were great, the crust was just right. Seriously AWESOME pizza.
(5)Rob C.
Great place for lunch or dinner. Pizza is great. Really thin and crispy, so good. Wings are great too. There's a few locations now around my area and I have been to two now and have not been let down. The Paul and young Ron pie aside from the pepperoni pies are my favs!
(5)K C.
Really good pizza ,reasonable prices. Wish they had fresh brewed tea as they only sell it by the bottle. I'm from Texas and love brewed tea. Service and atmosphere were very nice. Plenty of TV's if you want to watch sports. Crowded during lunch and not much parking, but they had someone outside to assist if you couldn't find a spot.
(5)Lasonya R.
It's been a while since I been here, but just found it crossing my mind. This place is one of my favorites in Florida. I loved the wings with the grilled onions and focaccia bread! Something about those sweet onions and smoky charred wings on top of the bread just did it for me. I am also in love with the Philly cheesesteak pizza! Needing to get me some soon!
(5)Brian L.
No need to do a lengthy review. The pizzas are awesome. While the coal-fire creates a great pizza, I really like the oil that you can taste on the outer edges of the pizza. The ricotta topping is a sleeper and worth a try. I did try the new addition of the cauliflower pizza. I was not won over by it. It is a white pizza topped with Anthony's cauliflower (the same cauliflower you find at Runway 84) and garlic. It is not bad, but just seems to be missing one ingredient to make it really satisfying and something you want to order every time. The winner in mind my is the tuna sandwich. This is a sleeper menu item. The sandwich, which is wrapped in the same bread that makes the pizza crust, is filled with arugula and tuna (packed in oil, not water). The combination of the bitter leaf with the tuna packed in oil is a killer combination. I can't think of much that is not good here. The wings are great, the ribs are great, and of course the ice cold salad with Gorgonzola is awesome. If you are going here for a work day lunch, be sure to consider some of the new lunch items, like the individual pizza. It is more than enough for lunch and is a bargain at roughly $8.
(4)Carlo V.
We had a great server, her name Christina I think, she was fun and suggested great tasting dishes, the eggplant appetizer was yummy, cocktails good, the pizza very good. I would certainly go back here
(4)Molly C.
My husband and I LOVE Anthony's, especially the Fort Lauderdale location. Every time we go, we are treated like family. The food is fantastic (especially the salad) and the service is wonderful! Melissa is our favorite server; she is very accommodating and so much fun. She always knows exactly what we want before we even order! Jeremy, the manager, has always made us feel so welcome. We truly enjoy eating here, and we do often. Even the busboy and hostess always have a smile on their face! We are thankful for a place that offers GREAT food and GREAT service (which is hard to find in Fort Lauderdale!).
(5)Jason P.
This place could be four stars, but the chicken was dry, and the pizza just seemed to have the ingredients thrown on. Some bites had way to much, others had nothing. They nail the crust, and sauce, but came up short because they just threw it together. Also step up and serve fountain drinks.
(3)Matt L.
Stopped in at around 9 PM on a Wednesday night. Saw on Yelp that it was close to my hotel and it had good reviews. I was starving and I had been driving all day so pizza was sounding real good. Sat at the near empty bar ordered a beer from Melissa and a pepperoni and sausage pizza. Its not a huge restaurant and is in a small strip mall, but the inside was nice and lots of friendly people there, even at 9 PM. Pizza came quickly which I made me happy. Now I love coal-fired pizza and have tried many different types. This may not be the best I've ever had but it was a good solid coal-fired pizza. Excellent sauce. Good crust. Quality toppings. Very good pizza and I will try them again next time I'm back in town. Melissa was very friendly too.
(5)Claudia J.
After seeing Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in Pinecrest, we were in the Fort Lauderdale area. We decided to give it a try. I can say people in Fort Lauderdale eat early, we were there around 7pm and there was a line to wait!!! wow!!! Of course, we started checking out the menu, it is very limited, which is good in a way. The limited menu they have that means they can't mess up much of it. They specialize in doing what they know WHAT to do! For two people we ordered an Italian Salad withought Gorgonzola cheese. The salad was great, all the ingredients were fresh, the only vegetable that taste like can was the chick peas. Lettuce was fresh, onions, tomatoes, kalamtta olives, yum yum. But the salad was a bit tart because of the dressing, a bit too tartish for me. We also ordered a small pizza, we thought it was enough for 2 people. It was plenty of food for 2 people. Next table were also 2 people, they had the salad, chicken wings (apparently they are famous for these - next time will try!) and a pizza. The pizza was yummi, but the prosciutto was extremely salty. Yes, I understand prosciutto is supposed to be salty, but it was a bit over the top. Would I go back, yes I would. But I have tried better pizzas. I might go back for the baked chicken wings!!!
(3)Angie C.
San Franciscans stranded at Ft Lauderdale airport with a 3.5 hour flight delay? We skittered off to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, a $10 cab ride away to the most happening and delicious pizza joint in Fort Lauderdale. Service was brusque and efficient, perfect for us. The salad with gorgonzola for two was indeed very filling, fresh, and topped with a tart Italian dressing! We shared a broccoli rabe and Italian sausage pizza with added mushrooms -- it was arrived piping hot and was as tasty as could be. (And this is coming from a non-pizza enthusiast.) The place is charming and you get fed quickly, inexpensively, and happily to boot. We also found that since we arrived by taxi cab, it sure beats finding parking in Anthony's tiny parking lot filled with large trucks and two gargantuan Hummer vehicles. If I'm ever stuck in Florida again, I'm coming back and trying some of the coal-fired spare ribs or wings -- they sound delish!
(5)Maya G.
This place is delicious- and anyone who says otherwise is lying. I am a New Yorker residing in South Florida and this is the best pizza you will find down here. It is cooked in a a "coal fire" oven and it makes the food so so good. Also, beyond just the awesome pizza, the wings are AMAZING. They are the best wings I ever had. My recommendation: if your going to the Ft. Laud location, come early because there is always a long wait- but so worth it.
(5)Nick R.
We arrived about 5 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon and the parking lot was packed. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was friendly. I was a bit surprised that when I ordered a Coke, it wasn't fron a fountain, but rather a 20 oz plastic bottle. My wife ordered iced tea, and hers was also served in a bottle. The pizza arrived quickly and was delicious. Overall, a very good experience, except for the very tight parkng lot. I had to back the car out so my wife could get in her door, the cars were parked so close together.
(4)Dave G.
Thank goodness I don't live close to this place. I don't know how the neighbors can deal with that wonderful smell of coal fired pizza wafting through the air at all times. Even after devouring one of their delicious pies as we were walking to the parking lot across the street, that smell made me want to turn around and walk right back through the door like a moth to a flame. I've eaten at some of the best pizza spots in New York, like Lombardi's and Grimaldi's. My standards for true coal oven pizza are pretty high. Anthony's is pretty darn good. Although not quite as good as those two, it's just a hair below it. And that's nothing to be ashamed of. We ordered a pie with quite a few toppings. I knew this would be a risk with such a thin crust, but I just couldn't make up my mind on what to leave out. We had pepperoni, sausage, meatball, mushroom, and sweet peppers, topped with fresh shredded basil. What I didn't expect was how much of each of those toppings they would put on. Usually on a thin crust there is only so much surface space and that limits your toppings. Anthony's thinks in 3 dimensions. Just pile toppings on top of toppings. The result was that we needed a knife and fork for this pie. I recommend just picking a couple of toppings or perhaps having them make half the pie one way and half the other. The problem is, what do you leave off, they were all so good. Perhaps the meatballs. Rather than slices of meatball that laid down flat they were more like mini meatballs. They were good, but didn't really add anything to the pie. The sweet peppers were green and red bell peppers that had been marinated ahead of time. The mushrooms were sauteed first with lots of garlic before being put on the pie. The pepperoni was fairly crunchy, with very little grease. It made me wonder if it too had been cooked ahead of time. But perhaps it was just their extremely hot oven that crisped it up. As with any great cooking, each ingredient tasted great on it's own. So many places just throw stuff on a pie and think it will just cook in the few minutes it is in the oven. With so many toppings the cheese got kind of lost. I saw some pizzas coming out with melted fresh mozzarella on it, just like some of those famous New York pies have. I assumed that all their pizzas were made with that, but not so. I will go that route next time. Their sauce was nice and tomatoey with small pieces of tomato that hadn't been pureed. The thin crust got a little soggy in the middle because of all of the toppings, but the outside ring had a nice char to it. That's the signature flavor of a coal oven pizza. This location is the original, but Anthony's has become a chain and is expanding fast out of Florida and into other states. This is usually where pizza and all restaurants for that matter, start to slip. If they can pull it off, they would be the first to bring that New York pizza taste, to the rest of the country. Living in Los Angeles, I hope they make it out that way soon. I and the rest of my LA yelping friends will be waiting for them. Oh and one more note...this location is loud loud loud. It may be easier to text each other than talk. Not a good date spot unless you just want to nod with a silly grin on your face and pretend you heard what your date said, then ask a question that they just gave you the answer to....."so that's how I came to move from New York"....."Oh....so where are you from?"
(5)Sebastian R.
Good atmosphere. Good service. We ordered salad and Anthony's traditional pizza and we got an okay salad, and about 3 1/2 lbs of salt... in the form of pizza dough, with tomato sauce and cheese on top. What a salty surprise! I'd recommend exploring other places.
(2)Noel D.
great baked wings, the bread that comes with it its great too, i recommend the prosciutto pizza, just go wit time cause there aint much room so you bound to wait
(4)Johnny B.
It was good, but I don't think it was anything spectacular. On pair with most coal fired pizza places, I think. Location isn't that greatest, especially at night.
(3)Patricia O.
Best pizza in south Florida! Discover this awesome pizza joint 4 to 5 years later and completely fall in love. It's as fresh as it can gets. Their well done crust gives it an outstanding flavor. Chicken wings r good too. Try their pepperonni and mushroom pizza and don't forget to ask for a side of fresh park cheese. If possible order to go, takes only 15-20 min instead of waiting!!
(5)Jacquelin R.
Anthony's is an amazing pizza. It is like nothing you have ever had before, or will ever have. It's coal fired so expect the bottom to be a little smoky. If you don't like a well done pizza this is not the place for you. If you like them... man will you love this pizza. Anthony's Pizza has a few locations throughout South FL they are expanding rapidly. I do not eat meat anymore but when I did I used to get the wings... and they are super great. They are garlic with rosemary and other herbs like nothing you have ever had before. I am not crazy about cheesecake in general but their deserts are pretty good. I enjoyed their salad too... this is a huge salad enough for 2 people at least. The restaurant is super clean and you are eating the best ingredients in town.
(5)C P.
another favorite...if your gona goto a pizza restaurant ..this is the spot. try the wings very good.
(4)Neil B.
Simply the best pizza and salad in Ftl. The food will do the talking here. Staff is friendly and efficient. Enjoy!
(4)Linda R.
Ugh....I used to like this place but went today and had a meatball sub...what are they thinking??? A spicy meatball??? Wth???? On pizza dough?? Really?? Not a Good flavor at all, yuck!! Won't order that EVER again... better to stick to the pizza here!! Pizza is descent if you like we'll done crust.
(2)John K.
If you like wood-fired pizza then chances are you'll love pizza cooked with coal. It's very similar except that the coal is a lot hotter than wood so you get a crunchy crust that is beyond comparison. I love this place. Doesn't Dan Marino own part of the business???? Go PITT! ;)
(5)Cari G.
Wanted a great wood fired tasty thin crust pizza and they definitely delivered. The chicken wings are delicious and are drenched in sautéed onions. Wonderful flavor. I ordered the infamous Anthony and young Ron pizza which has meatballs, sausage, ricotta and peppers (sweet or hot). The large is HUGE! Upon arrival (located in a strip mall) the parking guy directed me to a spot. I noticed about 15 people waiting to be seated. I was told the wait was 1.5 hours (thanksgiving eve about 7pm). I sat at the bar and ate. The bartender Melissa was fantastic. When trying to order a glass of wine she allowed me to taste a few until I found one I liked. My only negative there was the wine list. Minimal choices and not very good at best. I settled on buying a. bottle and took half of it home. When Melissa learned I had just moved there, she brought over some of the chicken wings to taste. Delicious! The bar area was friendly and comfortable. I waited about 20 minutes for my pizza and gosh was it good. I tasted the cauliflower pizza and that will be my next order. The arugula pizza was piled high with fresh green arugula. The ricotta in the pizza was yummy. The crust was thin, crunchy, and tasty. While I was way to full to even sample an espresso or cappuccino, I did think twice about the New York style cheesecake but just couldn't do it. Midway through the meal, the manager Jeremy came over to see how my meal was. He was also very personable and would have righted any wrong (IF their was one!!). I highly recommend this restaurant and I would sit and eat at the bar again. Melissa was very attentive and I met some very nice people!!
(4)Leah C.
Beer special on Peroni the time I went was a nice deal. The pizza itself is great!! I like my crust cripsy and thin so this was just the spot for me. Try the wings on the starter menu. They are tasty!
(4)Naty K.
Great service every time I come here and remarkably good pizza for a chain restaurant. I have been told it's very close to New York style pizza, which is why many New Yorkers will come here and consider this their go-to place once they become residents of the Sunshine State. Their ribs are also pretty tasty, and come with peperoncinis. Whenever I crave pizza, I feel like coming here, but it just happens to be a bit far for me. For now, Spris on Lincoln will do.

I can't believe it. Maybe it is a conversion. Here I am a Sicilian scoffing at these thin crust friends on Yelp. Nevertheless I had no choice but to order thin. Wow! I'm impressed. But it wasn't just the thin crust. Every ingredient was fresh and it came through in the flavor. I don't think they own a freezer. The menu seemed restricted at first but it creates a focus on simple Italian food. I loved it. Can't wait to return on my next trip. Thanks

Only thing that sucks is the parking. They REALLY need to fix that. Luckily, I live really close, so that's not an issue. But this place is really, really busy pretty much every night.

Coal fired pizza is one of those fads that is seeing a meteoric rise in the number of purveyors. For most of these restaurants, the entire concept is just a gimmick to draw in a large number of unknowing people to eat the same, tired old pizza that anyone can get at any average pizza joint. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is not one of those joints. I must say that I am a fan of the full ambiance as well as the food. Over my multiple visits I have ordered the following items: Pepperoni Pizza Roasted Cauliflower Pizza Meatballs with Ricotta Cheese and Flatbread Ribs Chicken Wings Everything goes through the coal fired oven at some point. The meatballs and ricotta don't have too much filler and taste really good with the sauce. The ribs fall off the bones and pick up the flavor of the onions, peppers and vinegar. The chicken wings are cooked with onions and I really do love their flavor when they are slightly seared. The two things that stand out with the traditional pizza are the crust and the sauce. The crust is always cooked well done and borders on being burnt. In many instances it actually is burnt. A little too burnt for my taste; but it is balanced by the sauce. The sauce has a peppery and tangy taste to it that is very reminiscent of the sauce from a Chicago style pizza. I really do enjoy the overall flavor. Out of the two pizzas, though, I must say that I enjoyed the Roasted Cauliflower Pizza. For anyone with a nightshade allergy, this is the pizza for them since there is no red sauce. This is a white pizza through and through. The flavors were all there and they were great. I want to try it one or two more times just to see how consistent it is, unfortunately I have to find someone willing to eat it with me. All food aside, the service is always spot on: quick, courteous, and accurate. They really know how to turn tables properly at this establishment.

I over heard a co worker talking about here & decided to check it out , had passed by this location & assume it was just another pizza joint, went in was greeted , seated & served in a timely manner , judging from the staff attentive service shows that the management is doing an excellent job , I had the wings & the ribs , the wings was great & tasty but the ribs exceed my taste buds expectations , I was in awe , eating tasteful ribs at a pizza place, lets leave it at, that won't be the last sat night I'll be there eating ribs lol, b4 leaving I request to see the manager to express my enjoyment

Great service. Pizza delicious. Italian Sausage very good. I like middle a little crispier personally, but excellent favors nevertheless. Will return!

Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza is hands down the best pizza in Miami. It's crispy and can be complimented with great sides, great salads and they make amazing baked chicken wings...the chicken wings are really really good, on par with the pizza. I don't think they deliver but they do take out. Perfect Sunday night kind of spot. DH For more reviews by a Miami Beach local check out DannyHertzbergBlog.com

Walk right in to a good looking welcoming staff at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza ready to serve you. There's a huge bar on your right as you walk in, ready for you to drink and eat. I came right of the plane to come straight to Anthony's. I sat at the back of the restaurant with my man , and Michael (Michaelangelo, like the artist painter) the owner sat down and chatted with us...very cool nice guy. The art on the walls are fun to look at, love the Beatles and nostalgic memorablia. We ordered tomato, soo yummy and fresh mozzarella salad and it had some diced basil and roasted red and green peppers and onions. I added Balsamic vinegar. The tables are well equiped with Oil, Vinegar, salt, pepper, Hot Chili Flakes, and parmesean cheese. For the lunch I ordered the fantastic Anthony's Classic Italian salad and had it topped off with Roast Beef. The salad is made with Romaine and has a delicious vinegary-dressing and came with Gargonzola Cheese on the side, lots of Kalamata olives and Porcini marinated peppers. The Roast beef has added delicious spices and roasted in the coal oven...it was to die for! I have ordered the Broccoli Rabe & Sausage it was soo good nice tasting sausage and the broccoli rabe was cooked in the olive oil. The Wings are another must try. Baked in the Coal oven and smothered in onions and comes with fresh baked Focaccia bread makes it a delicacy. The Arugula Pizza is my fav. Its a traditional tomato sauce, mozzarella pizza topped with Arugula. The Arugula changes the flavor of the pizza so slightly its heaven on the palate, and the pizzas always comes nice and crispy..there is no other way! And Yes it is a masterpiece you MUST TRY!
(5)Dave S.
Great pizza.. One of my favorites! The menu is small but the items are tasty. I just get the pepperoni pizza which is the best in town. The chicken wing and anthonys salad are excellent too.. a must try
(4)Andy C.
great food all around. hands down the best pizza in Florida. love the coal fired crust. wings are very tasty. they also have some runway 84 favorites like eggplant Marino and meatballs. a tad loud and they don't take reservations. it fills up fast. not great for a group, unless you can pre book. the salads are great too. we love the arugala pizza. good beer and wine selection too.
(5)Erick R.
I have always thought of Anthony's Coal Fire as a place for a great pie. Never did I imagine that I would now visit during lunch hours for one of the tastiest Chicken Sandwiches ever presented to me. The Coal Fired Chicken Sandwich is really something to have at least once a week, it also does not hurt that the lunch service is exceptional! When out for lunch one wants to be greeted politely and also served quickly without giving up any quality service. This is the place to go for a weekly treat!
(4)Dave F.
I enjoyed the the pizza served at Anthony's. I thought the toppings were plentiful and had a great flavor. The small pizza works to two people and the large pizza is very large, Salad was good, but nothing special. Sodas are by the bottle, so refills you'll be charged. I agree that additional parking would be nice during peak time, I lucked out, but can see that being an issue.
(4)Lavi M.
Anthony's... Anthony's... Anthony's... WHERE HAVE U BEEN ALL MY LIFE? *Sigh* Listen, my friend Emma L. is here, like, ALLLLLL the time. So after, like, her 15 thousandth check in since she became my friend, like, 2 weeks ago, I began to wonder. Either the food was really good, or, well... the food was really good. So, when Emma invited me to lunch, ya know I was going, right? :) Guess what? The food is not really good. It's SUPER DUPER good. I know what you're thinking? "Lavi... you've only been there once. How good could it be?" My answer: VERY FRIGGIN GOOD! Listen, I've only tried 2 things, meatballs and pizza with fresh mozz. That's enough. I'm SOLD. I could really kick myself, too, cuz I work about a mile away and my co-workers have been offering to take me here for 6 years and I refused because I thought they had no taste. This is the ONLY time I can say they were right. Oh, and I almost forgot, the staff is SUPER DUPER good as well. Well, not just good. More like awesome. Our waitress, Angelina, is so sweet, I think she's made at least 50% of sugar. And, then there's Jeremy, the GM, and the lovely, illustrious Emma L.'s bf. This cool guy made our pizza with his bare heads. Granted, I'm sure he does that a lot, but I'm conceited so I think it's pretty special! lol Bottom Line: Get here NOW. STUFF UR FACE. Send me a compliment for steering you in the right direction! Your welcome!
(4)Dan G.
From our previous trip to the area, we knew that Anthony's was the place for pizza. We went here for dinner and though it was packed, we only had a short wait. I was pleased to see that someone here knew their brews and had a solid list of craft beers for us. Lagunitas, Magic Hat and Bell's were all there. None of the Bud Light Lime or Lite crap-man up. We had a few rounds of the two hearted and we each got pizzas. Straight margarita for the lady, the Paul and Young Ron for me-Meatball, sausage, hot peppers and ricotta. We both liked our pizzas and devoured them. They had ample toppings, the cheese and sauce were good and the coal fired crust was perfect. Great pizza and great beer, winning.
(4)Adam H.
Went here for lunch one day before we went on our cruise. We walked right in and was seated. We ordered one of the signature pizzas that had meat balls, goat cheese and hot peppers. It was really tasty. Service was good however a weird thing is all the drinks come in bottles. So if you get anything other than water you will be purchasing more drinks...I would recommend this place to anyone wanting great pizza.
(4)Brandon R.
Went here just this past Sunday for Father's Day. We always get the Paul and young Ron and once again it did not disappoint. We started with the grilled wings which are never a bad choice. Loved it. My only complaint would be that it's pretty pricey for pizza, but that's just the way it is. I keep going back do obviously it's not that big of a deal.
(5)Kyle v.
I've enjoyed fantastic pizza in Chicago, New York, California (we try REALLY hard to make good pizza!) and plenty of other places. It's now all in second place, at best. The slogan on the wall at Anthony's says, "Warning, our pizza is...well done." Understatement. The pizza was fantastic. Amazing selections and combinations. Also, the simplicity might only be eclipsed by the left coast's In-N-Out Burgers...pizza, wings, a couple of salads, beer and wine. And all good. But the win here is the service. The place was packed on a Friday night around the holidays. It was packed when we arrived, packed when we ate and packed when we left. And the service was spectacular. Everywhere you turned, there were helpful eyes on your table...all you had to do was look up and someone would catch your eye, cruise over, and get whatever you needed. Not in a premature, creepy, "Hi, welcome to [Department Store], what can I help you with"-way, but in a "No worries, we won't make you wait until it's 'your table's turn' again to get you that beer or that side of whatevers"-way. They have a list of toppings for make-your-own pizzas and then a bunch of crazy-good looking specials with other toppings. I loved their answers when I asked if we could get some of those toppings from the Specials pizzas on a build-our-own pizza: "You can have pretty much whatever you want." Super casual and comfortable staff there. Friendly, but not like the fake-bro-friendly where you know they're trying to goose their tip. These people were legit enough that I almost right-footed my father-in-law out of his seat to give it to the servers to hang with us. If a restaurant deserved to have pompous or pretentious servers, this might be the place, but there was no sign of it. After about 2.2 seconds, it seemed like they knew us and treated us as regulars. Everyone was there...old, young, old-that-thought-they-were-young, kids, shorts-n-t-shirt crowd, button-down-and-khakis crowd, wine-drinkers, beer-drinkers, whatevers. The wait to get the table went too quickly...we were sitting on the sofas outside with our drinks when they came and got us. They even had someone out in the parking lot helping people find spots if the tight lot was packed at the time. I heard there are other good spots in Ft. Lauderdale for dinner. I'm not interested. I need to get back to Anthony's for another arugula, prosciutto and sweet pepper pizza. After I try more of the rest of their options.
(5)Z H.
Great pizza generous quality toppings, what make 5 stars is the service which needs little improvement and sharpened customer service skills. Did they do anything wrong? No.....but robotic in nature and lacking a smile from our waitress.....without a smile ...nothing registers. Great pizza in a flash I have to say.
(4)Bob L.
I love a place that concentrates on one thing and delivers, and that is Anthony's in a nutshell. On the wall is a sign that says "Warning! Our pizza is well done", and that is the truth. Great pizza. Note: We had a very sensible cheese and sausage, not any of the house specials (arugula & capicola pizza anyone?) off the menu, so perhaps someone more adventurous could try one of those.
(5)Elie T.
Excellent pizzas, the best in town! A really great place for sports on TV and a good pizza. Only 4 stars because, it is usually too cold and without a sweater I could not stay, no ice tea refill and often very loud. A must go.
(4)Cassie T.
Absolutely my favorite pizza place! This is the first location they had and it is my favorite I get the salad with tuna. Ficattia bread. Chicken wings. Meat balls... And pizza yum
(5)Michael P.
So glad they expanded this location adding more tables. The food is consistently great. Probably the best broccoli robe I've ever tasted. The pizza is to die for and the beer selection is fantastic. To top it off, the service is always on point.
(5)Scott W.
I love their pizza and the simple concept: coal-fired pizza, salads and craft beers. So much so, that I would open an outpost in Evanston in a heartbeat (if only I had the cash and restaurant management experience). The sausage and mushroom pie is something I crave every time I visit South Florida. The crust is spectacular: thin, chewy, crispy/burnt in spots, the right balance of salt and doughy-ness. The sauce is sweet and flavorful. The house salad has a nice variety of ingredients and the house dressing is delish. The place is usually busy, but tables move quickly. So waiting on the comfy patio out front is never an issue. Anthony's is great for the whole family. I have but one negative: sodas and ice tea from a bottle. Would it kill them to have fresh brewed tea?
(5)Joseph A.
I've tried just about all the pizza in S. Florida and without question , Anthony's is the best. The pies come out of the coal fire oven piping hot. The crust is thin and very crispy, charred on the bottom and edges. There's the perfect amount of cheese and toppings. Being a traditionalist, I like cheese the best with a side of sauce. The salads and wings are top notch, too. The service is always friendly and prompt. Be patient since you'll probably have to wait for a table. If you're in Ft Lauderdale be sure and give Anthony's a try.
(5)Greg B.
We had pizza, the egg plant one. It was so delicious. We stared with a caprese and it was the best have had. Will definitely eat here again.
(4)Diane H.
5 stars because I can't possibly think of why there should be anything less than 5 stars! Service was GREAT. I actually went on Halloween and the servers were all dressed up so that was cute. My mad hatter from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland kept coming back to make sure we were good. He have us good recommendations for drinks and food, boxed our food and served us the first slice of pizza! My friend also has four square so he checked into that and got a free plate of their oven baked wings. Oh yesss they ARE as good as everyone says! Very crispy on the outside (without any batter needed!) and soft and juicy on the inside. We split a large pizza (OMG it's hugeeeee) and got the sausage, rabe, and roasted garlic pizza for one half. And the other was the meatballs, sausage and ricotta with hot peppers. Literally, STRIPS of jalapeño. So spicy but so good! And because it's wood fired baked pizza, the crust and the bottom of the pizza were crispy mmm so good. We also got their drink recommendations. My friend got a pumpkin beer which they served in a glass rimmed with sugared pumpkin spice mmmm! I got their strawberry Bellini! Very delicious but not strong at all! Def coming back
(5)Mindy B.
AMAZING PIZZA. AMAZING SERVICE. AMAZING EVERYTHING. I was here for Vacation and was craving pizza. I drove past this place and had to try it. As soon as we sat down we were serviced right away and the wait time was super fast. The pizza was so goooood. Any time that I visit Fort Lauderdale.. I'm coming here.
(5)Stacy D.
Love the Paul young and Ron pizza it's the best. The baked wings and salad are amazing too! No delivery which I really wish they had but it's worth picking up. They should really consider doing delivery this is the only reason I chose 4 stars instead of 5.
(4)J S.
Only came because we wanted pizza and searched on Yelp. Had to drive for a while to get here, but was not disappointed. Great pizza, great service. The place was busy, but there was adequate parking. We love wood fired pizza and this was definitely in the top ten. Server was great, price was reasonable. Definitely give it a try and keep coming back.
(5)Harry S.
Last night I wanted to try something different so I ordered the Long Hot Meatball Mozzarella Sandwich and I really enjoyed it but the name of it is quite confusing. Long Hot refers to the very spicy but oh soooo good hot peppers that are in the sandwich and if you know me you know I loved it hot. In the menu description it says it's on focaccia it's more like a piece of folded over pizza crust it's good but I was expecting focaccia. The only reason I didn't give this a five star rating is needed more mozzarella they kinda skimped on the cheese. Still a great change of pace I would order it again and hope they add a bit more cheese..
(4)Melissa I.
My husband and I recently came here for dinner. We ordered a salad and pizza. The service was excellent and the pizza was delicious. Highly recommend. Can get crowded but they have a parking lot across the street.
(5)Zhen C.
Pizza is always amazing. My favorites are the meatball & ricotta and the sauge and brocolini. The pizzas are coal fired thin so its the plentiful of thick toppings that fill you up. Chicken wings and meatballs are also really good. The one time they messed up my order, they comped me a few meatballs, salad, and a $10 coupon for the next visit. All these times have been take ou, ive yet to dine inside, but overall looks like a great atmosphere and a good place for a date.
(5)Erin S.
I had a tasty pepperoni pizza here a few weeks ago. The crust was nice a crispy and the sauce was tart and well seasoned. I've had better pizza in the area so I have to opt for 3 stars. I'd eat here again, but not regularly. We also split a house salad. You need to give it a good stir because all the dressing goes straight to the bottom, but it was a nice side to the pizza.
(3)Jason B.
All the reviews didn't steer us wrong when picking this place to eat during our layover. Very New York style and feel, with many Tv's on the walls playing sports. Great service also. Be sure and get the Fuhgetaboutit beer, as it's made just for this place alone. The family size Italian salad was killer, and the pizza was second to none. We even took our leftovers to the airport. Had to tell the TSA guy no way when he asked for a slice. We'll be back!
(4)Robert F.
Went to Anthony's for the second time today. I like to try places at least twice before reviewing when the review is three stars or better. Anthony's is "NOT" NY Pizza contrary to what anyone here feels, it is a very nice place with good food. We had the wings that were great, an order of meatballs that I felt were very good as well. I think their gravy (tomato sauce) is quite good for a chain. The Italian salad is also very good. We had a sausage pizza and I would say the sauce and cheese were good as well as the clumped "NON" NY style sausage. They burn the crust on all their pizzas and that is their "deal" here, with warnings posted on the walls. I understand it, but I've had coal fired pizza from the "gold standard" Frank Pepe's, Sally's and The Spot in New Haven CT. Burning the crust all around just isn't necessary, and although Anthony's isn't in this "Best of Pizza" league, it is a better pizza than many here in Florida. It is not NY style though. NY style can be had at Kings Pizza in Aventura, Rice and Dough in Ft. Lauderdale, and Vinny's in Jupiter, all of which are far better than Anthony's. The very best of Ft. Lauderdale is certainly Rice and Dough, where you can get close to perfect NY crust, cheese and sauce on most days. Anthony's pizza was slightly burned on the bottom as well as the crust and the crust was inedible due to the fact that it was carbonized (burned black). The underside was a bit limp and so this (seemingly tough to some) review is honest and accurate. Everything else we tried was very good. Overall I enjoyed the meal and would return for a better than average experience. The service was excellent and the place clean. I would give them 3.5 stars if I could.
(3)Tom J.
The broccoli rabe sausage pizza was perfect! Just the right mix of ingredients ... And cooked just right. Yum!
(5)Marie K.
I can only comment on the pizza, which is what I had, and it was not the best but not the worst either. I stayed down the block from here for a couple weeks and it was always busy. The ambiance was nice and service was great. Perhaps I'd try something else next time I'm in town.
(3)Rocki R.
They have awesome pizza, wings and ribs. i eat here at least once a week. Only complaint is they dont do bacon or pineapple and dont deliver. But its worth the trip to either get take out or eat in.
(5)Alicia P.
Service was amazing! Very friendly. Enjoyed the food. Food was perfect , great quality. Will return again.
(5)Sean M.
One of the constants in the universe is there is always a first time for everything. My once reliable pizza refuge has gone sour on me, at least at this location. All I wanted was a simple small pizza with olives and mushrooms. More or less the same pizza from Anthony's I am accustomed to, soft crust rich with tomato sauce, cheese, and fresh juicy vegetables. But not this time, they could not do that, they decided to give me something resembling a chemistry experiment gone bad. I have been to this location before, and I never had a problem with my pizzas. But for some odd reason, this Anthony's location decided to give me a burnt pizza this time around. The condiments on the top of the pizza were dried out and shriveled. The crust on the pizza had the texture of a UPS shipping box. I did not realize the pizza was burnt until half way home, being this Anthony's is not close to my house I did not return it. Not even the beautiful customer service friendly young blonde's and brunette's that work at this Anthony's can make me come back to this location. They are on my no "return "list for ever. The good news is the Anthony's near my house has not let me down yet, and they also have beautiful blonde's and brunettes with impeccable service. Its 2:00 am and I am having multiple extended meetings in the throne room...
(1)Alex S.
Great pizza with unique style (arugula or cauliflower pizza are winners), and a good selection of beer on tap. Servers were very nice and helpful. Gets very busy, so be prepared to wait.
(5)Ryan S.
The first time I came here was years ago and ever since this is the pizza join I get my pizza from. Nothing compares. When we have family or friends in town and they want pizza we take them here and when they leave they are in love with the pizza also. There wings are awesome also. They also have a bunch of beers from microbreweries on tap which I haven't been disappointed yet. So check this place out. The only thing is the parking is limited here. But there are others locations some what close if you don't mind driving.
(5)Nese V.
Based on other reviews, we ordered the wings and a pepperoni pizza; well-deserved praise, both were delicious. (However, each of those dishes are well-saturated with oil; they taste great, but the work-out you get raising the food to your mouth will not off-set the weight you are no doubt adding to your waist and glutes.) The service? Excellent. Perhaps management read the prior reviews because every waitperson was on his or her game.
(5)Jeff H.
If you are looking for something different a good place to come. The toppings are fresh, they do burn your pizza crust not good. Their salad dressing is way to vingerer. Their wine list is overpriced, especially for the amount you receive. Finally the place is very very loud. So if you are not into conversation then come here. We differently will try it again and give it another chance. The service is very good.
(3)Tina T.
Pizza sooooo good...and many varieties... Chicken wings amazing... Reasonably priced... Food comes out fast .. Decent wine list..
(5)Sarah H.
Pizza is think and crispy. Wings are sauceless but delicious. Salad is like your mom made it...that good. Ingredients are fresh and you can taste it.
(5)Andrea K.
Love it here!! The best food, service and atmosphere. I come here at least 2 times a week!
(5)Diana N.
My Coworkers and I love this place! Pizza doesnt get better than this. It is well made, the sauce is perfect, pizza just doesn't get better than this! The chicken wings are also delishes! They are topped with yummy cooked onions and are finger licking good. Salad is also delishes.
(5)Ari I.
The food and staff are pure garbage. My pizza tasted like dishwashing soap. When we complained they didn't replace it stating we already ate 2 of the slices. Id rather eat a microwavable pizza
(1)Kim L.
Too bad I'm visiting from Dallas. I would come here regularly for the family size salad and lunch pizza. We had the mozzarella and ricotta pizza. It was great, full of mini meatballs.
(4)Lisa W.
So happy to go to the original Anthony's!! We are visiting from NY, they catered the rehearsal dinner, what a great choice!! Servers are great and food is top notch!! Love the new meatball pots, traveling hone with one!!!
(5)Kathryn B.
Before moving back to Atlanta, I lived in South Florida for 10 years and Anthony's is at the top of my list of places I miss! Every time I come back to visit, Anthony's is definitely on my to-do list while I'm in town. Every location is fabulous and produces top quality food and service. I worked in Palm Beach Gardens for the owner of an Executive Suites bldg. Our tenants consisted of Lawyers, physicians, top executives, social workers...and the list goes on. Every month we organized a tenant appreciation luncheon and once we chose Anthony's to cater it, they never wanted anyone else! This is how pizza is supposed to taste...and don't be afraid to order any item off of the menu...everything is so tasty! There's a reason why they are so busy...it's always worth the wait! Open a location in Atlanta please!
(5)Ken P.
The best pizza and wings hands down. The wings are crispy on the outside, hot and juicy inside. The caramelized onions are perfect, too. The pizza...it's not for everyone. Some people say the crust is "burnt." Yes, that's the idea. Coal fired, thin and crispy. And you can't go wrong with any topping. The extra hot coal ovens change the flavor of everything. I'm not a pepperoni person, but Anthony's pepperoni comes out like crispy chips. My favorite topping is sausage. Not a fan of the calzone, only because the outside burns before the inside cheese melts - a disadvantage of those extra hot ovens. But my all time favorite here is the side of eggplant. Just make sure you ask for mozzarella cheese on it. Very thin sliced and baked. Tender and a flavor to die for. Note that this Anthony's location, unlike some others, does not have a full bar. Just beer and wine here. But this is the ORIGINAL location. So it truly is the best...and I've been to many of them.
(5)Jaclyn D.
Very good NYC style pizza!! They do not take reservations so be prepared to wait. There are benches in front and in the parking lot to sit and have a glass of wine while you wait for your name to be called.
(4)Julie N.
There's really only a few pizza places that should ever get five stars. This is one of them. My parents raved about Anthony's on a recent trip to Ft Lauderdale and said I was definitely in for a treat. Dad ordered a family size salad, a large order of wings, and a half and half large pizza for four of us. Salad: Excellent. Everything was super fresh, the dressing was very good, and I adored the addition of chickpeas. Wings: Seriously? Fantastic. Covered in caramelized onions, they were baked and served with toast. The wings were some of the best I've ever eaten. Pizza: YES. Half ricotta and meatball and half eggplant with veggies. Yes, yes, and yes. We didn't have to wait long for a table and our waitress was very attentive. This is my new favorite pizza place in Ft. Laurderdale.
(5)Daniel M.
This place should really be called "Anthony's Coal Fired Wings, and Pizza." The wings are frankly delicious. They're marinated in rosemary, chargrilled, poured over focaccia, and then covered with caramelized onions. Tasty wings, sweet onions, and fresh bread. I am already jonesing for them, and there's no location near me. It may get so bad that I'll have to walk back to Lauderdale, but I hear there's a location in New Jersey, so maybe I'll walk there. Mucho thanks to the Yelpers who recommended this place and the wings. We also ordered a cheese pizza and the meatballs. Pizza was fine. For the experts out there, it's Jersey restaurant style as opposed to pizzeria. (The latter has more cheese and a little thicker crust.) It was very good, but as I said--it's the wings. The meatballs were large, covered in a fresh red sauce and served with dollops of creamy ricotta. They were well done, high quality, but strange in this sense. I took my first bite, and (I'm not exaggerating) I thought, "Hmm, Chef Boyardee." Really. Imagine what the original Boyardee might have served in his restaurant a zillion years ago, and that's what they taste like. I mentioned this out loud, and my son said, "My God Dad, you're right!" Did I mention the wings? Oh, there are ribs too. We didn't order them, but if they are anything close to the wings, I might feel a tear coming on. Somewhere in one of these reviews, I waxed poetic about how wings should be cooked. Sometimes it's great to be wrong.
(5)Andrew K.
Solid pizza, wings, sides. Meatball and ricotta pizza was my fave. Wing order was unique and huge.
(3)Talia G.
I really love bringing guests here because it has such a "neighborhood" feel to it. In a time where most venues cater to the touristy spenders, this place really makes an effort to have you come back. The menu is limited - but you go there knowing what you're ordering: awesome salad + super thin pizza + tasty chicken wings. It seems that people either love or hate charcoal pizza. Lucky for me I love it :) Sharing a large house salad and a pizza is a great, not too heavy dinner for 2. The wine menu offers a good variety and range of prices. They have some really good inexpensive bottles. This is a popular place, so you might have to wait a bit to get seated.
(4)Jenna F.
Love this place. For something different, try the Roasted Califlower pizza. My husband and I were skeptics ... So GOOD!
(5)Alfred S.
Close to perfect pizza All the elements: crust, sauce, cheese, toppings, well balanced. In the end, a hot oven makes the difference
(5)Mark W.
Pizza is probably in the top 5 pizza's I have ever tasted. Deliciously sweet sauce, great cheese, and the sausage and spices were to die for. Their wings were also a special treat. I was thinking just your standard wings, but they were covered with onions and a great amount of flavor. Salad also delivered with fresh ingredients and a great dressing. Was out in FL for a week and hit this place up 2 times....missing it already.

We stopped here while overnighting near the airport based on recommendations from Yelp... and once again, Yelpers steered me in the right direction! The place was packed on a Tuesday night at 8 pm. We sat outside for about 20 minutes before getting a table. But once we got in, service was quick and efficient and we were in and out by a bit after 9. Our shared salad was huge - despite being a huge veggie eater (my companion, not so much), we barely made a dent it in. We then split a large pizza. I loved the woodfired style and toppings, like on the salad, were plentiful. We left stuffed and satisfied. I'll definitely return the next time I'm back in Fort Lauderdale for the night.

You can sit at a table, bar or host a tailgate party.. not sure about tailgate party yet. But the bar is a good spot for a solo traveller. Lots of special bottled beers and the staff know their beer. Pizza was amazing good ingredients, mushrooms that tasted like mushrooms and tasty cheese.. I really good pizza. On a proper coal fired oven. Now when I went in it was middle week and a little quite the Air-Con was join over time it was about 15/16 degrees centigrade in there and the air was blowing right down on the bar where my pizza sat.. By the time I had my last slice the pizza was cold. Which is a shame beacuse it tasted great hot..(So I downgraded this from 4 star to 3 star) I did tell the lady and she agreed, she said when its quiet it always gets cooler in there on a busy Ball Game or Fri/Sat night it apparently gets warmer and so your pizza doesn't freeze. Seems like someone can't control the AIr-Con? One table outside to eat at or just get a takeout.

Good pizza and wings. Not real fast but not slow. Nice selections of beer and wine. I will go again if I am in town.
(3)John H.
Omg. I said it again. Coal fired pizza. Roasted cauliflower? Who woulda thunk it? Hot peppers weren't so hot. Coal fired chicken wings? Who woulda thunk that? (Yea i said it again) Served over baked foccacia with carmalized onions. Sry pizza king I gots a new favorite. but after some deliberation, i think my version at home is better, tho my crust is not. add caramelized onions, grilled chicken and now we're talking!
(5)Ashley H.
This place is pretty unbelievable if you like coal-fired pizza. The bottom will be smoky because of the cooking method, but it's amazing. I would eat here again any time. I would definitely recommend take-out to avoid the wait, however. The one time we did eat in the restaurant, the service was fine. It wasn't loud, but we were there early. I'd imagine that it would be loud at peak times. Anyway, it's amazing. I love it. Best pizza in town!

Friggin Philly Cheesesteak pizza. That is all. =)

Wow. Ok, if you have followed any of my reviews, you must know that I'm a bit of a pizza fanatic. I am in Fort Lauderdale for meetings, so my coworkers and I stopped into Anthony's after I saw all the great Yelp reviews. And oh, Yelpers, you were so right!!!! The pizza is absolutely fantastic. I think it might be at the top of my list. The mozzarella-tomato-basil pizza (no sauce) was hands-down the best. I thought I wouldn't like the no-sauce aspect, but oh--- it was SO GOOD. The salad we started with was yummy, too. It had a great variety- everything from chickpeas to tomatoes to olives- and the dressing was tangy. It was also $8.95 and plenty for the four of us. I thought about docking the stars to 4 because of the atmosphere. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly, but it was LOUD. Grated it was lunch rush hour, but we had to almost shout to speak with each other across the table. Maybe there's a way to make it a little quieter? In the end, though, the fact that this was quite possibly the best pizza I've ever eaten won out. Five stars. If you're in the area, please give it a try. You won't be sorry! :)
(5)Kristen S.
The ribs were ammmmmaaaaaazzing. And the tomato sauce that comes with the meatballs - absolutely delicious. Finger-licking good!

We have been long time customers of Anthony's Pizza. Went to the one in Pompano Beach (Federal Hgwy) on 1/8/12, at around 6:15pm. the place was not busy, my wife and I were seated right away. Waited, waited, and waited we were given a menu and waited, waited and waited. I got up and ask the hostess if she gave us a help yourself table, nobody had even acknowledge we were there besides her. Hostess apologized and said they waitress/waiter will be right over. We waited and waited and waited. No waiter/waitress. Now please take this in consideration my wife and I like this place and been long time customers. Anyway, nobody came over, not even the hostess...I was so pissed I didn;t want to take the change to talk to the manager. Anyway, went to HUMBERTO:S on E. Atlantic Blvd. where the food and staff has always been reliable. BYE- BYE TONY. PS...and as for your place in Darien, CT. There always is REMOs in Stamford and soon Peppis.
(1)Elio S.
They serve pizza here? Oddly enough I love this place but not for their pizza but instead for their Eggplant Marino and Italian salad with gorgonzola! Just a perfect combination of food and it can feed two people easily (with left overs). The eggplant is so thin and perfectly breaded and accompanied by some "coal fired" focaccia bread, mmmm so good I tell you. You might have to wait a little to get a table but most great things are worth waiting right! The service is always top notch but I am displeased with their beer selection... can't have everything.
(4)Angie S.
Had the Roasted Cauliflower pizza, which I enjoyed, but will certainly come back again and again and again for the Eggplant Marino. The eggplant is sliced thinly so it's almost like a lasagna....so good. A new favorite dish.

When I lived in Ft Lauderdale for a year, this was my go-to pizza joint. And it's still a necessary stop whenever I am back in South Florida. With locations all over South Florida, Anthony's specializes in AMAZING thin crust, coal fired pizza - cooked "well done" so their crust strikes the perfect balance of chewy and crunchy. I almost always order the Paul & Young Ron, which includes their awesome meatballs, Italian sausage, choice of hot or sweet peppers (I always get the long hot peppers as they pack a real punch) mozzarella, and ricotta cheese. Everything, from the sauce, to the toppings, to the cheese and aforementioned crust are perfection. I also highly recommend the broccoli rabe & Italian sausage dish, which includes rapini sauteed in olive oil with roasted garlic cloves, crushed chilis, and is served over a fresh baked rosemary focaccia. Decent selection of reasonably priced wines as well (usually a good Chianti Classico choice on the list). Note that the Ft Lauderdale location gets very busy so expect a wait during most nights. The Pompano location on Federal Hwy is a bit larger and not as crowded.
(5)Sarah B.
Any person living in Fort Lauderdale can tell you that Anthony's has the best pizza in town. Besides this location, they have locations all over South Florida and even a few out of state. In addition to their amazing pizza, their wings are also to die for! Wings are served grilled with tons of onions on top... and I love those onions. You can't go wrong with getting any of their pizzas but my favorites are the white pizza, the meatball ricotta, or the basel, tomato, and mozzarella pizza. For those who are looking for a great coal fired pizza, Anthony's is really the best in town. There is nothing better then biting into their "burnt" crust and knowing that you are in pizza heaven!
(5)Michael W.
Pricy but really good!
(4)George C.
My favorite pizza and wings, period. I happened upon this place while visiting my mom in Fort Lauderdale, and we actually ate here twice the next time I visited. Small place, so there can be a wait at times. Very friendly staff. The pizza and wings are excellent, as is the cheesecake. I haven't tried any other items on the menu yet, but will be doing so for sure next time I eat there. It's just tough to pass up on the pizza and wings!
(5)Linda R.
OK...I've eaten at the Anthony's in Tampa and it's my favorite pizza in the USA. I went to this place expecting that 5 star pizza and only got 3. The ingredients didn't seem as fresh and the pizza didn't have the love...yeah I know that's stupid but hey I'm Italian. Just a bit of a let down. I had the opportunity to go to the Tampa location a week later and it's night and day. Everything in Tampa was great....you guys need to check this out.

When we had to go pick up the Marathon Packet in Ft. Lauderdale, I said "Too bad we don't know of a good place to eat.. .........wait YELP!! For sure we can absolutely find a great place to eat through YELP!" Was I right or WHAT?!!?!!!!!!!! Through YELP I found he absolute best pizza in South Florida! My new love, thy name is ANTHONY! To thee l shall be faithful.. Lets start from the beginning.. OK I don't know how bad the tiny parking lot can be when busy, it was 4PM when we went. It was not bad.. but again not peak hour. The hostess seemed HAPPY to see us - imagine that! THEN the server Jose was a real sweetheart - all smiles and everything, I just wanted to pinch his cheeks, pick him up put him in my purse take him home, until my husband pointed out that this would be highly inappropriate. Besides someone might just miss him. So service - 5 STARS. Then the decor... perfect. Not pretentious but not cheapy. For us who love the Godfather Movies, there are plenty posters on the walls (I am stealing the one with The Godfather and his 3 sons).. l sat facing a wall and there was a pic of 'ol blue eyes staring at me. Kinda creeped me out with that "hey baby "look while l was trying to converse with my man. Now the food... WOW.. the perfect coal brick pizza. Crisp and delicious, the toppings superb. So good in fact, that our 12 year old who doesn't love olives nor onions, stole my pizza, and left me her cheese. SO very worth saving your apetite all day for. We are definitely returning even though we have to drive 45 minutes or more to get there. YES, it is that good....
(5)Eric B.
Although the coal-oven pizza and wings were good, I wouldn't rate them the best I've tasted. I found them oily, and I'm not a big fan of flat-crust. The service, however, was fantastic, with friendly prompt care from a waiter who was very accommodating of little kids.
(3)Gustavo A. L.
I came to this place to "carbo load" the day before running the A1A marathon in Ft. Lauderdale. This is a clear case where you seen how YELP really works, the sole reason we actually sought out this place (we are not from FT Lauderdale) was because it consistently gets 5 stars in Yelp. So we googled the address and punched in the coordinates in our gps and let it guide us to the promise land. This place is it !!! AWSOME ! From the beginning the service was excellent. We were a bit hesitant when we were guided to the very last table in the place. I was thinking that they would forget about us as it often happens when you are seated in a remote table. Not so .. the waiter was attentive and frequently checking up on us. We definitely wanted to try the brick oven pizzas so we ordered two different ones, the second one came out wrong - and here's where good places distinguished themselves, the waiter immediately owned the situation and without hesitation assumed responsibility with a smile and promised to fix it within a couple of minutes. In a few minutes he came back with the right order, service with a genuine smile and always making us feel good. The pizza is definitely the best we have tried as far as brick oven goes, it is unique, and the taste and consistency is just right. We had a cheese pizza and an onion and olives (YUMMMM) try them all, I know they are all good. The chicken wings looked fantastic, although I didn't have any because I was staying away from too much protein before the run. So we have to return. Triple Kudos... this place will make you feel good.
(5)Alicia C.
I am over this place. Every time we order take out from them they are unable to get it right, nor are they either apologetic or compensate us for the issue. This isn't rocket science...it is PIZZA. For example, 2 weeks ago we orded a pozza and they didn't bother to cook our order. We had to wait 45 minutes for the pizza with difficulty parking the car and the valet getting torked with us "running in" to get the pizza. Obviously there was no running in as they didn't bother to cook it. Today, we orded a large calzone and a salad. Again not rocket science...this is a restaurant and they should know how to read the order...nope. Small calzone even though we paid for a large. Additional 20 minutes waiting to cook another that we will never get back. That is it...I will order pizza from New River Pizza and be done.
(1)Cindy O.
Forget the pizza - scarf down some awesome, delicious, mouth-watering chicken wings with a salad. This is a meal in itself. These are not hot wings. They are fired with carmelized onions and served with flat bread. Please get one of these retaurants in Austin. I dream of those wings. Now the pizza is good but too thin for my taste and so thin the bottoms are very brown almost burned. The young server gave himself an Italian first name so just joking with him I said, 'so you are Italian?' he said, 'yup' then I asked what his last name was and trust me it was not Italian. Needless to say he was embarassed. I was amused. Parking at this location is not fun so plan ahead.
(4)Rick G.
Great pizza, baked chicken wings with sauteed onions and salad.
(5)Sergio F.
My first Yelp for the 954! So my friend from Maryland was leaving Monday after Alumni weekend here, and I wanted to squeeze in a brief, nice lunch - close to Ft Lauderdale Airport - before her flight. I saw the great Yelps about Anthony's and can now affirm my fellow Yelpers were right. As you know from my reviews, Im a Hawaiian Pizza kind of guy, and had never tried a "well done" pizza. But Im certainly impressed. We had a large pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni and prosciutto. The meats were certainly tasty, and the mushrooms had the right touch. The marinara sauce was excellent; even without asking for extra sauce it had an amount to my liking and with the right kick. My friend said the pepperoni was a little salty, and I agree. Still, that's not worth taking a star away for. We also had capuccinos, which were the perfect temperature and amount of caffeine. The sugar cube was a nice touch, as were the cookies. Kudos also to our waitress Mel! There's now a culinary reason for me to go to the 954!
(5)Kendra J.
One word: awesome.
(5)Alissa W.
I love this place there is always a line so you know the food has to be good. they have the best salad with gorgonzola cheese. The dressing is out of this world they put on it. The pizza's are great I usually add extra cheese because sometimes they can be sparse with the cheese. They have really good wings, they are baked in the coal fire oven so they are not fried. If you haven't been you must try this place !
(4)Dee K.
Def a fan! I love the "well-done" style of their coal fired pizza. I am especially fond of the Paul & Young Ron pie (ricotta, hot peppers, sausage). The eggplant marino appetizer and house salad is delicious and great to share with a date. I cannot stress the house salad enough- my friends and I have gotten an order for the table and end up fighting over the last bits of it. The setting is classy and modern - but small, so on busy nights you'll wait and parking is not the greatest, but not overly challenging to stop you from grabbing a bite. Valet is offered, as well. Enjoy!
(4)ro k.
Now I know the reason I avoided this place for all these years...overpriced, corporate chain. We were desperate for food last night and gave in. When I wanted to order a side of broccoli rabe to go with my dish, I was told by the waitress "we don't do that"...although of course, it is a topping for the pizza. The Corporate powers that be obviously don't allow any deviations from the menu, even if ever so slight as a side of a pizza topping. I really did not like this. Not to mention the food was way overpriced for the quality. We had to load old parma cheese and stale chili pepper onto our very bland mozzerella/tomato/basil pizza to bring out the flavor. Seriously...this place was packed, obviously it has some draw. I felt like I was in a lower version of the Olive garden... glad I tried it once, now know not to go back again. EVER.
(2)Waldo J.
My wife and I split their big salad and fresh mozzarella/tomato/basil pie. I get the whole coal-fired thing, but the crust was actually *burnt*, which was not so good. Weirdly, they have only bottled drinks. There is no alcohol, soda, or iced tea available on tap--all bottled. As somebody else pointed out, the place feels like a chain. (It's not.) That is, it's got this veneer of inaccessibility that's the very opposite of endearing. A good restaurant makes you feel invested in its wellbeing, and Anthony's sure didn't do that for me. It wasn't terrible, it was just OK. I wouldn't go back.
(3)Stacie H.
Great pizza, great salad, great service and a good selection of IPA beer. They have several sports stations on and several conveniently located tvs (no neck cramps to watch). Great for a relaxing dinner.
(5)Maxine V.
The place is a good chain. The pizza is good, wings are good and the beer is cold!
(4)Steven H.
The pizza was okay but the crust had no flavor, it was like cracker crust and it was extremely soggy. I prefer a pizza crust that has yeast in it and a little bit of a rise. The sausage olives and mushrooms on the pizza were really good but the hot peppers and the pepperoni were marginal.
(2)Matt M.
Great spot to grab a quick bite before hopping to the airport. Will be back if I'm ever flying out of Ft. Lauderdale again.
(5)Mike Z.
great pizza but i just think i don't like the places where they dime you on how many toppings you want. i've seen a couple places like that and pizza just gets really pricey. what i do like is the quality of the ingredients you can put on your pizza. i had the italian sausage, proscuitto, and the long hot finger peppers. i didn't know what to expect with the finger peppers but damn those are huge ass peppers. they are good but i don't need it covering my whole pizza slice. the proscuitto was really good but it definitely overpowered the pizza as it made it very salty. i did like the taste of the pizza as it had a smokey taste from the coals that was also infused into the meat. nice touch! also the service was really fast and there's even a guy outside letting people know if there's parking in their lot as it's not the largest lot or restaurant. it's quaint but nice. i wish we had one in houston. i'd go for sure.
(4)Carlos L.
I am a regular, best pizza in town, predictible good food and service, fast, no surprises. Wish they had more toppings.
(5)Pat C.
Love their Tuna sandwich. Pizza is good, too, although sometimes it's burned on the bottom
(3)Bernardo A.
Their menu is very limited, and in this case, it's a good thing. Their baked rosemary wings are phenomenal. And the caramelized onions that come with them are great over a piece of foccaccia. No dipping sauce necessary on these wings. The order of ten makes a great appetizer for 2-3 people. Their Italian salad is also very simple and very fresh. I always order mine with dressing on the side, but I think that's they way they bring it anyway. The salad is also sharing-sized. Great for four people who want something green and cool with their pizza. I love their pizza even though I'm not quite sure of the need for the super burnt edges. I think it wouldn't hurt to take the pies out of the oven a minute or two earlier; but what do I know? The only pizza ingredient I don't recommend from their menu is the prosciutto. IMHO, it doesn't make any sense to take a beautifully air-cured piece of dead pig that has very little moisture and then cook it in a 500° + oven until it becomes a crunchy, shriveled up piece of salty ham. I ordered it once and it seemed like a complete waste. Not good. I think the best Anthony's pizza is the ham, mushroom and onion pie (a bit of onion overload if you had the wings as well) because the juiciness of the mushrooms and onions add a lot of flavor to the sauce and cheese and make a great counterpoint to the crunchiness of the crust. Avoid this place at "regular" dining hours. The parking situation is a mess and the wait is usually long. Going early or a bit late is well worth it.
(4)Leland G.
It seems like every day I hear on the radio that Anthony is opening up another pizza shop in some different town; I think they even have one in Vegas. Long story short, the place is doing very well; and this is clearly do to the good pizza and wings at the shop. The pizza is great and my personal favorite is the "Paul and Young Ron" named after the local radio show hosts. I think the pie was offered temporarily to see how many the DJ's could sell but it was so good that it was added to the menu for good. If you've never tried the wings I would definitely give them a try, real good with sauteed onions mixed in. If you live here and have never been, or your on vacation here, you have to check it out; you won't be disappointed. Just as a tip, if you are headed there for lunch I would try to go a little before noon as it tends to get pretty busy and parking can be tough.
(4)Joshua G.
Great pizza and wings! Wings were very tasty. I personally love this kind of crust. so it was exactly what I was hoping for. Also to note the beverages are all bottled which is odd and adds up.
(5)Sean H.
If u have ever asked for your pizza burnt before you'll love this place. The sauce is good, the toppings are plentiful, and the crust is crispy and well done. This is my kind of pizza. I sat at the bar and was seated and served quickly but it looked like a long wait for a table.
(4)J. M.
I grew up in New Haven area and know what GREAT pizza is! Anthonys lived up to its reccomendation from a friend. Great staff, helped with parking. Waitress was VERY GOOD. Food was the real deal New Haven coal oven style pizza. Would highly reccomend. I would like to see a white clam pie on the menu. I will be back for more!!!
(5)Kirsten L.
I LOVE ANTHONY'S!!!!!! More specifically, I love the pizza! I dream of it often. I'm not a huge fan of the wings. They're OK, but I prefer them prepared differently. Just give me the salad with Gorgonzola, and a pie with mushrooms and greek olives, and I am one very happy girl! The meatball and ricotta pie is also another fave. A small is plenty to share for 2 people.
(5)Jimmy S.
Great spot, lunch or dinner.
(5)John L.
Compared to pizza from up north, its good. Compared to floridian pizza joints, its amazing. Want a good coal fired slice, dont think twice, go to Anthony's.
(4)Titus P.
Really good pizza. Great ingredients. Would have given a 4 star except we found a hair in our pizza. They should wear hairnets or something. Wings were too different for us. Baked or something, too many onions. The Ribs were quite good and we enjoyed the seasoning greatly.
(3)Frank D.
the bloom is off this rose under ITALIAN SOUL FOOD is listed pork ribs w / vinegar peppers "roasted in our Coal ovens with garlic, rosemary, Spicy vinegar peppers, and white wine" fuggeddaboutit..............it was inedible oh yeah, those "vinegar peppers", were slices of jalapeno from a jar you could by at publix for $.69, and those "ribs", were burnt refuse waste what TOM JENKINs would throw in the garbage as was usual the staff was very young and highly energetic, and my experience got the immediate attention of a manager, who listened to me, and must have agreed, because the plate was whisked away and the tab immediately adjusted without any discussion since i don't like the burnt toast they call "pizza", but i do very much like the salad, which is always fresh and a complete meal in itself, i really do want to like something else on the limited menu, so i tried the "pork ribs" under italian soul food i guess using celebrity names on food can only take the food so far ( and i should have been suspicious of those "ribs" since NO CELEBRITY name was attached to those, even any PAID celebrity ! ) apparently every celebrity said no since these "ribs" are just that bad i really wouldn't mind if this entree was titled FUSION or RIBS and jalapeno or whatever ........ BUT it is an insult as an italian to have "peppers" anything but fresh BELL PEPPERS.............i realize being italian i know better and maybe this review is severe but i get crazy when something called "italian" is such a disaster
(2)Jennifer H.
Anthony's is indeed an amazing place. I was glad we got there just before the lunch rush, because the parking lot is tiny, and this place is BUSY. I love a well done pizza, and this one was the tops. I do wish that they had soda on tap instead of in bottles.. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Plantation, as I know as long as it isn't Tuesday, there will be a coal fired pizza gettin' eatin'. (They're closed on Tuesdays if you didn't catch my meaning)
(5)Anthony I.
I moved out of NY to DC and the best pizza I found in 5 years was in Florida? This place is fantastic, I found it on yelp and basically planned my meals around things on yelp. This place is amazing, were to begin. The meatballs were wonderful, excellent sauce and fresh ricotta, a real nice authentic touch. Next up we had some sausage and brocllirabe, excellent, great flavor not oily, wonderfully garlic balance, the roasted garlic was perfect! Finally onto the pizza, we went traditional with a plain pie and a mushroom, perfect! The crust was crisp and well done, crunchy and amazing, the sauce and cheese balance was right on! I really enjoyed this meal everything was perfect!
(5)Constantin L.
Great pizza! Always busy and that is a definite plus!!! You have to try it!
(5)Dan I. C.
The charcoal adds a nice flavor to the pizza and chicken wings. Had the meatball pizza and the wings smothered in onions. The pizza was thin with small meatballs and the cooking process gives the pizza a dark crust which adds a smoked flavor and almost burnt look. The wings have the same flavor of smoke not spicy at all, but the onions make the wings. Not sure why, but they do. Very good pizza/wings. Remember to tell the Dan sent you for the onion wings and Stay Hungry!
(4)Kim A.
Great pizza and the wings are amazing. As a former resident of Buffalo,NY ( birthplace of buffalo wings) I'd rate these wings as the best in south Florida!
(5)Kyle H.
Anthony's is great. I like their wings and their sausage pizza. Definately I would reccomend it the ONLY reason why I didnt not give it a 5 Star rating was because i PERSONALLY do not like the style of pizza i think there is too much sauce but most people love it so dont take my word for it but definately get the wings!
(4)Harry A. M.
We like Anthony's Pizza but they're "too damn salty." Someone has a very heavy hand with salt in this place or the cheese is very salty. In any event, it's just too salty. If it weren't so salty I could give it a perfect rating. As it is I must take off one star.
(4)S F.
authrentic ny style because i got a huge side order of ny attitude for free! chicken wings are uniquel pizza oven roasted (a little charcoaled) with carmalized onions heaped on top. yum! the traditional pie is my litmus test. crust, mozz cheese, pie sauce and some herbs. they knocked it further than A Rod. come hungry.
(5)Allan S.
What a surprise. Has the feel of a chain restaurant, but the pizza is really, really good. Nice & thin crust. Wine & beer served, but no mixed drinks which is just fine. We definitely will be back.
(4)Katie H.
For our last night of Florida family fun, we just wanted something easy and basic. My sister suggested pizza and whipped out a menu for this place.We picked up two larges and a salad (for $45) and hurried back to her place to dig in. It was kind of disapoinitng. The coal fired aspect made the crust nice and crispy wihtout being like cardboard but the gobs of baked crushed tomatoes (instread of sauce) made the pizza really watery. We patted it dry with paper towerls, I plucked off the tomoatoe chunks, and we reheated it in the over and it was still on the wet side. It was filling and overall tasty, but I'm sure there are better places nearby.
(3)Aaron V.
The noise level is horrific! I could not carry on a conversation with my dining companion. As for the food: The salad was excellent!!! It was more than enough for two people and could easily be enough for four. The pizza...another story. We ordered a large with prosciutto and kalamata olives. The pizza came out and was incredibly SALTY. We kept trying to determine whether it was the prosciutto or olives (but if either were good quality, they shouldn't be salty), or whether salt was added to the pizza. Anyway, it was inedible. I'll give it another chance, but won't order that pizza again! The wings looked really good...will have to try that next time.
(3)Will V.
Awesome coal fired pizza! I'm a big fan of this style, and I believe Anthony's does it very well. This location is not the best, but they have several locations in the area, so pick the one that's closest to you. I have found the food does not vary from location to location. The wings are also nice, they are served dry (and seasoned, but not spicy) with grilled onions and bread. The salad is huge, enough to serve as a meal for two people, so be warned. They have some decent wine options on the menu as well. This is one of my favorite places to visit in south Florida.
(5)Tara S.
Loved our meal here. The salad is great and was more than enough for the 4 of us. We had the wings and a fantastic pizza, the chargrilled wings come out covered in caramelized onions and they're delicious. For the pizza, we went with half meatball & ricotta and half prosciutto, caramelized onions, and sautéed mushrooms. OMG, the pizza cooked over the hot coals is awesome, crispy, almost blackened crust... Mmmmmmmm. Go there if you're in the Ft. Lauderdale area!
(4)Jonathan C.
I have had "gourmet pizza" a few times before in Philadelphia... have always been a fan. But I tell you now... I have NEVER had a pizza that even came CLOSE to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizzas! The toppings are sooo delicious... but it's the sauce that makes it! I HIGHLY recommend this pizza joint... make sure you try the charred wings! They are do die for! Five Stars!
(5)Todd M.
Wow. Wow. Pizza. Wow. Anthony's has the secret ingredient for pizza. It's called fresh sausage, onions, cheese and chunky sauce on a great crust in a coal fired oven. The pizza here is phenomenal. I went there around 9pm on a Saturday night shortly after Christmas and there was no wait, but the place was packed! My buddy and I sat down and ordered our pie and a few sodas. Fifteen or 20 minutes later the pie appears. Fresh, hot, perfect. The ingredients are very fresh, and the sauce and crust make this pizza great! Roma tomato sauce, chunky style. And the coal fire gives the pizza crust a perfect flavor and texture. We polished off the pie much faster than it took to make. AND we enjoyed it too. Parking wasn't difficult, though the private lot was full. We just parked along the curb, so no big deal. I wish they would open one of these in the Los Angeles area, where I live! I highly recommend.
(5)Bud T.
We felt discriminated. We asked for hot sauce or Tabasco sauce and the waiter looked at us like we were crazy. Pizza with hot sauce?? He implied that their food would be ruined by adding Tabasco to it. After we were done eating we saw a table with a big bottle of Tabasco sauce. I asked the waiter and he said that those people brought their own hot sauce. If people are bringing hot sauce into the place, that means the owners of this joint dont care about what people want. I wont go back to a place where I have to carry my own bottle of Tabasco. Ridiculous!!! Over rated. get Dominoes!!

Anthony's is a great pizza place that stands out from the norm. On Tuesdays in Coral Springs, they have a two-for-one pizza deal that separates them from competition. The atmosphere inside is very nice and a great place to bring the family or on a casual date. They have nice waiters and waitresses, as well as good food outside of pizza.
(4)Bill C.
Best Pizza period! Try one with hot peppers on it... You'll know what I mean...
(5)Yani D.
We love the coal fired wings. The staff always greets you with a smile. Parking can be a challenge, but it is worth the food.
(5)Michael C.
Great Pizza. This is a place I always make a stop out now when I'm out in the Ft. Lauderdale area. The restaurant is always packed, so I normally order ahead and then take the pizza down to the beach and eat it there. My favorite so far is the sausage and broccoli rabe pizza. Huge pieces of sausage, and nice fresh broccoli rabe. The crust and dough is amazing. If you like thin crust pizza, then this is a place you should check out.
(4)ER S.
Very tasty pizza. My husband ordered sausage and broccoli rabe, and it was excellent. My daughter's half of our pizza was cheese, also yummy. I would not recommend my prosciutto and mushroom as they do the non-italian thing of baking the prosciutto (more traditional is to lay it on when it comes out of the oven). I wish they had more salad options (sorry, not a fan of that classic southern italian thing) but the pizza was very good. The parking lot was full long before the restaurant was, by the way... don't let that scare you off.

Great Pizza! I used to do some work for a company in Ft Lauderdale and we visited Anthony's a number of times. The crust is has a nice texture and is just slightly chewy...they way it should be! The full flavored sauce and fresh ingredients make this place worth trying if you're in the area.
(4)Dave S.
Awesome pizza! When we went it was very busy it seems to be a local favorite. Highly recommend.
(5)Arvind G.
Best pizza in town, hands down! The lingering taste of coal burn on the edges of pizza is savory, as is fresh basil on the top. Wings reminded me off Indian clay oven roasted chicken, simply delicious.
(5)Max N.
My mom is a snowbird and spends the winter in FT Lauderdale so I got to enjoy this little gem on my last visit. I ate here 3 nights in a row and I still wanted more! I love pizza and I have to say Anthony's is one of the best I have ever eaten. To begin with, this place is LOUD, do not go here if you are looking to catch up with a girlfriend etc because you will barely be able to here each other talk. There are many tv's playing various sports games so that adds to the noise level. My mom and I ordered a small cheese pizza, a salad and their famous chicken wings to share. Our salad soon arrived and I have to say it was delicous! Not everyone use's "delicious" to describe a salad but this one truly is. The salad arrives in a large bowl and consists of the following: Fresh, crispy lettuce that is cut into chunks, thick slices of tomato, sliced red onion, chunks of cucumber and Gorgonzola cheese topped with a light vinagrette. You can see and taste the ingredients and it is fresh beyond belief. Yum! The wings arrived next and I have to say I was not overly impressed. I like chicken wings with a sauce these are crispy and garlicky served with grilled onions. Good but not great and I would not order them again. The pizza, ahhhh, I will dream about this pizza! Thin, crispy and delicioso! The tomato sauce tastes like it was just made and you can taste the freshness of the tomato, the cheese is top quality and plentiful which results in a perfect pizza! Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 (1 waiter is very rude) Ambience: 2/5 think loud sports bar not a place to relax and chat FYI Another plus, they offer pick up service and bring the pizza to your car.
(5)Rafael S.
The atmosphere is busy and it *seems* like they might have good pizza until you look at the menu and see there's 9 pizzas and no veggie pizza option. I'm no vegetarian but you don't have to be one to see there's something missing here. Most +$15 a pizza places have dozens of options (think Piola's in SoBe or Andiamo's in Miami) for toppings, etc...and here it's just a crust that's blackened...and they charge for refills!
(2)ilya b.
Good pizza, but management may want to rethink how to control temperature on the inside. The AC was blasting full power It was freezing. Despite multiple requests the staff refused to adjust it up.
(2)William W.
The hostess lost our name on the list, so we waited quite a while to get seated. Some places might give you a free beverage or something for that inconvenience, but that didn't happen. Then the waiter... it's not often that I simply don't like the waiter, but I didn't like that guy. Pizza and salad were tasty, but I'm not going back.
(2)Sergio C.
I'll admit it, I am a fan of Paul and Young Ron; I always wanted to see just how good the pizza is at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. It's good pizza. Our family had lunch there on Sunday, and we all enjoyed the pizza, the ambiance in the restaurant, and each other. While the pizza is a little pricey, it's worth it.
(3)Arielle G.
Great salads but you have to have a taste for burnt pizza (coal fired).
(4)Fred J.
I have ordered takout from here once and will most likely never return. I called in my pizza ahead of time, arrived 20 minutes later as specified and was told my pizza wasn't ready. Ten minutes after waiting, the cashier came out and said, "you had the mushroom pizza, right?", my response was yes and I started to get up to go inside to get it, she then said, "oh, no no no, it's not ready yet." Ten to fifteen minutes later, she emerged with my pizza, which was piping hot. Never to mention they screwed up either my order, gave it to someone else, or just never even made it until I got there. If you can't admit your mistakes and give a discount, if not a free pizza for your own mistake then you don't get me as a customer. Honesty is always the best policy and apparently Anthony's doesn't go by this statement. Decent pizza, terrible reheated the next day, definitely not good enough for them to receive my business again.
(1)Carol M.
Been here 4 or 5 times - not by choice, but because everyone always wants to check this place out. The salad is good, and the pizza would probably be good if they didn't BURN THE CRUST EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's almost a joke. I guess "Coal Fire" Means the crust will look like coal and taste like it's been through a fire. very disappointing...
(1)Louis K.
This place is great! I recommend getting the standard Italian salad, it was excellent. The pizza has an unusual flare to it, which is a great change of pace. And save room for dessert, it was outstanding.
(4)Rich K.
One of my favorite places for pizza in South Florida. Every time I fly into the Fort Lauderdale airport I stop at this place for pizza and wings. I like thin crust pizza, and this place does it right.
(4)Julie G.
My party and I were seated as soon as we walked in to the pretty packed restaurant (although the people walking in behind us were not quite as lucky). The wings weren't as crispy as we would have liked but the pizza was good. Mozzarella tasted fresh but the pizza sauce was a little on the salty side. I understand the pizza comes well done but parts tasted very burnt, not good. Server was efficient and attentive. I would return if I was hungry enough.
(4)Tammie S.
The only place I will eat pizza. So yummy
(5)Rosa C.
Great food, prices and service. The selection is limited to pizza so five stars if that's all your group wants. Their lunch size personal pizza is huge for $6. We loved it all.
(4)Andrew B.
Best pizza ever! If there was 6 stars, I'd wish there were 7 to rate this pizza! Go there as soon as you are able! Service was amazing too! Incredible!
(5)luis s.
Paul and Ron special pie! ricotta cheese, meatballs, peppers! wow delicious. damnt now im craving a slice! & the wings get two thumbs up too
(5)Steve N.
The pizzas is great. I didn't find the crust to be burnt at all. The place is a bit loud but you get used to that quick.
(5)Cory S.
Having been many times, from the opening day till now one thing is for sure, this place knows what they are doing. Tonight me and the wife ordered small wings and small pizza. Wings arrived very fast and our server Michael T ( I think ) could have not been more helpful and out going, this guy was on top of his game. As always wings are the best in the city hands down ( not fried of course ). Pizza did take a little long to arrive, but at no fault to the server or staff the place for a sunday at 8pm was very crowded. All in all I would say hands down third best pizza of my life ( 1. NYC, 2. ATL ) but you are not in New York or Atlanta so why not have the best pizza in South Florida. There have been many other coal fired pizza places show up and disappear and one reason why would be they lack something Anthonys has which is passion. I do not see this place going down hill, so go there order wings, order pizza and eat till your sick...
(5)Marty L.
Never had coal fired pizza before until now. I realized after my first bite that I had been missing something good for most of my adult life. Better late than never! And wow those wings with the carmelized onions are a reason to keep on living. I hope to see a location in the Chicago, Illinois area so I can enjoy this food again soon.
(5)Kevin M.
Decent pizza, but not worth the wait, the price, or the attitude.
(2)Jimmy K.
My kids and I are on vacation in Fort Lauderdale. They wanted pizza, so I checked out pizza places on Yelp. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza had excellent reviews, so I thought that we'd give it a try. Well the pizza WAS excellent. I had a pizza with sausage with onions. Only Santarpio's in Boston has a better sausage pizza. My kids had pepperoni, which was also very good. The pizza's were very flavorful, and were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend Anthony's if you want a pizza better than you can get at your neighborhood pizzaria.
(5)Curtis D.
You have to remember, some people like one type of pizza some like another. This is thin, well done, coal fire pizza- and it doesn't get any better than this. As well, the chicken wings, while not buffalo style, are delicious and I could eat nothing by their meatball for the rest of my life and be totally happy. There's usually a wait, but if there's a place worth the wait, this is it.
(5)Jay A.
We love this place. Wings are great and the pizza with pepperoni and ricotta...Yum!!! Take out makes it easy to avoid long waits.
(5)Dee C.
WHOA. Great pizza, I finished a 12" pizza by myself it was that good. I never thought I'd ever want to eat eggplant on a pizza, but I was schooled. Must go back soon!
(5)Addy S.
best grilled wings. best pizza. casual but very classy and cozy. always hopping and they play a lot of the sports games, etc, but not overly loud or rowdy. service is always good and classy. this isn't the type of place for a quick slice of pizza, etc. this is more of the gourment or for a full pie. sit down type of thing. only drawback, drop the bottled soda. i love a lot of soda with my meal and this adds up. i can blow 10 dollars on soda here.
(5)Chris G.
Great pizza and the wings are not bad - not Buffalo at all - but baked and an interesting sauce. Go for the za not the wings.
(2)Gerry R.
Probably (in my opinion) one of the best pizza'a in Soth Florida, a close second to Dilorenzo's in trenton NJ. Pizza is very good and you can almost taste the coal.. way above average pizza, NY style of course.
(5)Norman O.
Very tasty-cheese, sauce, toppings, but crust somewhat thicker and a little less charred than the true top-of-the-line coal oven places in New York and New Haven. Worth a visit if you're down there, but not a pilgrimage like Sally's or Pepe's or (the original) Totonno's.
(4)Brooke Von H.
I'm a pizza snob and this place was a real disappointment. First, I went for lunch on a beautiful Oct day. I walked into a dark, freezing cold cave. The blinds were drawn, artificial lights on, TVs blaring, and a loud lunch crowd reminiscent of a sports bar. The atmosphere was awful. If you can't make me feel like I'm in Rome, at least make the pizza taste like it. That didn't happen either. My margherita pizza was just OK. Nothing special. I won't return.
(2)Gregg -.
Great pizza, fast, unique flavor. The toppings really add flavor due to the high heat the pizza is cooked at. I usually go with mushroom, peperoni. The small parking lot tends to fill fast, but there is another lot across the street and behind. The restaurant can be full of kids if you go during peak times on weekends.
(5)Laura K.
Hands down the best pizza in Fort Lauderdale. The ingredients are always the freshest and you can really taste the fresh herbs they use. I have a hard time getting anything other than the sausage and mushroom pizza because the sausage they use is the best I've had in the city. Try the focaccia bread as well - it's phenomenal. The wings are a little different because they are baked and not fried, but they also use fresh herbs on them. Definately much more healthy version of chicken wings, but not like the traditional bar food version most people are used to.
(5)Jared P.
Meh - terribly loud and cramped. The pizza is okay/good, but not great. I had to sit beside a loud and annoying Fran Drescher double... I shoul have saved myself the walk and ordered Papa John's.
(2)Chris C.
Great service is what keeps me coming back. Pizza is good and has a coal fire taste that is a bit strong, but the crust unfortunately is surprisingly too soggy. Otherwise it is a great place when you are not on a diet.
(4)sam a.
We love this place! Only reason it didn't get 5 stars was that the menu was a bit limited on our trip. I'd love to have seen coal fired bruschetta or some caprese on the menu...but if you love thin pizza thats "Well Done", this is your place! We ordered Peppers on ours, and because of the way the pizza is made, they became "Roasted Peppers" adding a lot of dimension to the taste. All of their pizza is coal fired, so expect soot/carbon...it doesn't mean that the pizza comes "dirty" - just well done with a really crispy/crunchy crust. We didnt order much off the wine/beer menu, our soda was from 20 oz bottles, but very cold none the less. The location on Federal has the feel of a very trendy bar with the selection of booze to match it- the look/feel of the place is high end and the boisterous crowd and noise level on a Wednesday night at 9 pm were very welcome. If you're looking for a sleepy hole in the wall...you may be better served elsewhere. As with any place that gets popular, parking can be a challenge. They have a spillover lot across the street, so dont panic if you turn into their small lot and there's none available in front of the restaurant. Prices were just a little bit lower than expected for "gourmet" pizza...but if they raise prices, I'd probably find elsewhere. Heartily recommended...and even though they're a chain, its good food with good atmosphere and ok prices.
(4)Mitch M.
Had to come to the Ft Lauderdale area with my mom to settle some family business back in July. Thanks to fellow Yelpers, I went to this place directly from the airport (by the way it's really close to the airport, just sayin' so if your hungry from a long west coast flight). Anyway did the chicken wings, side of meatballs (with rigotta), salad caprese with basil and peppers and a pizza. We couln't believe we ate the whole thing... Frikin' fantastic. Maybe I'm being a little dramatic because we are starved for any decent Italian food on the west coast, but it was great. Pizza thin crust, great sauce and cheese. Meatballs off the hook and those wings mildly seasoned and tossed in the coal fire oven with the carmelized onions. That salad was something special as well. Like the other reviews, go to this place. This place did get crowed and had we waited to eat it would have sucked sitting outside in the muggy Fl air.
(5)Zebulon Z.
Don't believe the hype. This pizza is crap!
(1)Lindsay F.
Their pizza is great, but my favorite thing they have are the wings-- they are awesome!
(5)Bill L.
Stopped in for lunch today and what a nice treat! Parking was easy and got right in. Perused the menu while waiting for my iced tea. Decided on the meatball sandwich served on focaccia bread. Waiter told me as he was walking away, oh yeah it comes with hot peppers, that okay? Sure! Perfect blend of meatball, sauce, cheese and peppers and that coal fired crust on the bread....oh man! Im going to take a nap somewhere now....service was also great, nice job guys
(5)Manuel E.
Awesome tuna salad! Best I have ever had, they serve you enought for you to not to stay hungry. The hit peppers on the oven are awesome!
(5)Jon K.
I have been to Anthony's many times, more than one location actually. First time to this location awhile and was surprised to see that they have remodeled and added on next door. So now its even larger with a great outdoor space with the bar moved outside. Of course, parking will continue to be a problem at this location. But they did have an employee help direct where to park. Split a salad and pizza with meatballs and both were excellent as always. Didn't get their awesome wings this visit Very excited that they are opening a location even closer to me. Hopefully it will open very soon. Will make getting their awesome food even easier.
(4)Janice N.
Love the food: Pizza, Wings and Gorgonzola Salad. The wait staff has always been great. It is pricey for pizza. To be honest the main reason we don't go more often is the parking situation. It's really crowded and tight!
(4)Karen D.
We happened upon Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza while attempting to walk (in the August midday heat, ouch!) from our hotel (the Crowne Plaza) to SE 17th Street, in search of lunch. Boy, were we glad that we found Anthony's! It was only 2 blocks or so from the hotel, and seemed like a nice, cool oasis at which to stop walking and take a breather. For our group of 7 we got a couple of pizzas, the meatballs, a salad, an Italian-style tuna sandwich, the chicken wings, and the sausage with broccoli raab. I personally got the tuna sandwich and loved it! It was truly delicious, and huge (I couldn't eat all the flatbread, so ended up eating most of the tuna and vegetables out of the bread with a fork). Others said the pizza was very good, and we are all East-coast born-and-raised pizza snobs. My 10-year old ordered the chicken wings, and the way they make them (charred and covered with smothered onions) was not good to him. The very kind server immediately took them away and had the cook make him a more kid-friendly version of chicken wings, which he devoured. Overall, I thought the food at Anthony's was really good, the service excellent, and the atmosphere very modern and nice. I only deducted one star because I thought the prices were just a tad too high on the non-pizza items. But I would highly recommend them!

We decided to try this place after leaving a restaurant that had a two-hour wait for a table on a Sunday afternoon. Fortunately, they were not busy, but parking was the worst. The lot holds about twenty cars (uncomfortably) and street parking is almost non-existent. The hostess was nice, and we were seated promptly (party of four). There was a decent wine and beer selection, however don't depend on the staff to make suggestions. The menu contained more than just pizzas, but the salad selection needs to be expanded. We ordered two small pizzas and one in my group ordered a salad. The salad was large and very good. The pizzas were great- one with roasted cauliflower, and the other with sausage, meatballs, and hot peppers. Tip: The small pizza is enough for three people with average appetites or two really hungry people. Our server was nice and attentive without being overbearing. After she boxed up the leftovers, she assumed we were done and immediately brought the check- NOPE. We ended up ordering more drinks and finishing with espresso. Her add-on $kills need a little help, but we didn't make her feel bad about it. Overall, I might be back if I'm in the area, but I won't make a special trip.
(3)Dre B.
A friend talked this place up as the best pizza she had ever had, so she set my expectations super-high. I wont hold that against Anthony's; they didn't say it, she did. That said, the pizza was just OK. Anthony's is basically a pretty-good local spot that I'm not excited about. It's a good stopgap place to eat if there's nowhere else to go, nothing more than that. It appears they specialize more on the bar/drinks side than pizza actually. Nothing wrong with that.
(3)Tina R.
I lived in Italy and in New York for several years so I know pizza. And this one was okay. It's probably the best pizza in the area which accounts for the high traffic. Parking sucks, but they do have additional patking across the street.
(3)D S.
Inconsistent. Tonight, the pizza crust was soggy and chewy, and the wings over cooked and dry at least the flavor was still tasty. I was disappointed we ordered 20 wings and barely got half a piece of bread. First time I gave them a pass, hey every place has one bad night, but with them it seems as if their standards vary depends on who's dishing out the food.
(3)Darby S.
Loved pizza and chicken wings. All fresh. Yum everyone is very nice great service- will definitely be back for the meatballs, chicken wings, and pizza!
(4)John A.
Me and a buddy, grabbed a beer at the bar with Melissa A. ( our favorite bartender) pizza and wings with Jen (our favorite waitress). What a great time! Both young ladies were terrific! Great service, up beat, made us both out-of-towners feel right at home! Heck, the food was great too!!! Wouldn't go anywhere else for pizza and wings. * John & Keith from New England
(5)Drew P.
Just got off a plane from California, pulled out the Yelp! app and found this place. They said 30 minute wait but we were seated in 20 minutes. The pizza was GOOD. Very respectable, however for the price I wanted a little bigger and more toppings. The crust and sauce are made to perfection, everything else could use a small spruce up. This isn't a must go to, but a solid choice. Its thinner crust, not thick, but not super thin.
(3)Amanda D.
Love this place!! Love that they have 1/2 off craft and draft on Mondays and Tuesday's. The food is amazing
(5)Kimberly H.
Great food the only bad thing and I order here several times a month sometime a few times a week to. Chic sandwich best chicken sandwich ever. One of my favorite. THE BAD - be prepared to wait a long time for take out. Plan at least 1 hr before getting your food as their take out backs up. I think mainly it has to do with a small kitchen and there heavy demand. Also I wish they had some discounts for there regulars.
(3)Joel R.
Great food. Great service. Great price. Absolutely no complaints. Love it! The pizza tasted awesome! High quality ingredients. Very fresh. Would love to go again!
(5)Eric F.
The ribs are delicious, meaty with herb seasoning. We also had the small calzone that can easily serve two adults. Good salad portions. Service was fast an friendly, in a fun atmosphere. I will come back to Anthony's again.
(4)Alick W.
We went to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza for our last night in Florida for a good dinner and it didn't disappoint. It was Monday night and there was still about a 25 minute wait which wasn't too bad as they have an outside waiting area that you can take drinks to. We started with their wings which had a nice rub on it and caramelized onions. I don't often eat wings that are not buffalo flavored, but these were really good. We also got a family style salad that was quite tasty as well and more than enough for 4 people. The pizza is really good here. It has a thinner crust and quite tasty. We got a Paul & Young Ron pie which had Meatballs, Sausage, Peppers & Ricotta Cheese and it was amazing. We also got the arugula pie which was a white pizza with a ton of arugula on top of it, a little too much but the pie was still pretty good. Our server was also pretty attentive and friendly and overall had a very pleasant experience dining here. Parking can be tough around here though.
(5)Brynn F.
I must say that every Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza that I have ever been to has great pizza, but this particular one had excellent service. The wait staff was on par but the Manager at this location was exceptional. He completely changed my mood from the moment that I walked into the door. My fiancé and I walked in tense and hungry and left with huge smiles thanks to the food, staff and manager.
(5)Tolbert P.
My son and I are in Ft. Lauderdale on vacation from Dallas. We wanted a great pizza and decided to try Anthony's. The food was amazing the atmosphere was great for families or date night. It was perfect for us he waitress offered great suggestions. We ended up with a large half pepperoni and half meatball. It was beautiful baked in their coal oven and was perfect with the Stella. Our waitress amazed us again with a couple of roasted chicken wings to sample. Wow! Great staff and great food was a win win for us. We highly recommend Anthony's!!!
(5)Jennifer S.
Flying solo. It was packed at 630 on a Thursday night, so I ate at the bar. TV's available to watch sports. Great service. Good wine selection. Yummy pizza. Live music that was worth listening to. Nice find when traveling.
(4)Toni G.
This has been my favorite pizza place since I was six years old. The pizza is too die for! I highly recommend the Anthonys Classic salad with Gorgonzola and the pork ribs. Everyone must try the chicken sandwich! Both have such a delicious flavor. The manager Jeremy is a sweetheart and is dedicated to making your time at AFCP enjoyable. All of the servers have personable personalities and make the experience even better. The new expansion of the outdoor seating area, bar and live music are a great addition to this establishment. Wonderful food, people and atmosphere you can't go wrong!!!
(5)Susyn S.
"Pizza that reminds me of Chicago's pizza but it is in Fort Lauderdale" I got very hooked to Chicago style pizza while there a few years back and Fort Lauderdale had only okay pizza after that experience, until I found Anthony's Coal-Fired Pizza. They have locations both on South Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale and on South Federal Highway in Pompano Beach. Their pizzas are pretty darned close to the scrumptious ones that I have a jones for from Chicago. The prices are probably similar to Chicago's, too. You can't get individual slices, you have to order the whole pie, but you know, who can stop at just one slice when it tastes this good? Visited January 2014
(5)Tracy C.
We came here after the NHL draft in Sunrise, Fl and we were famished! The food was great, the service was quick and the people were friendly! :-) We will be back!
(5)Keith M.
Another order of wings and a custom pizza that just didn't disappoint! All was terrific, but what really stood out was the great service from our lovely young waitress Jennifer.... She was quick to flash a beautiful smile and made our visit all the more enjoyable... We will certainly be requesting her service at our next visit.... And I am already looking forward!
(5)Chloe E.
It was a busy night at the Coal Fire on a rainy Sunday. Maybe it was because of the football games. Anyway, I ordered 2 meatballs so I wouldst have to wait long. I wait for about 5 min and left. The guy in the parking lot walked me to the door under the umbrella and the host opened the door. Also, the girl who took my order thanked me by my first name Chloé. Nice service here. My meatballs were good along with the flatbread and ricotta cheese. Nice touch. I would go back for those delicious wings for sure.
(5)Anu N.
Love the pizza here. Mikey always takes care of us. Ask them to make the pizza with fresh mozzarella, it's an off the menu request. It's AMAZING!!!
(4)Sarah H.
Pizza is OK. It looks and smells really yummy, but is really bland and dry! The price was high for what you get in my opinion. There was a table next to us that spilled their water and instead of the waiter helping the poor customer he just literally threw some napkins on the table!!! REALLY!!! Poor customer service at its finest!! If you're a beer drinker it looked like they specialized in Beer. We will probably not return here.
(3)Elizabeth C.
Pizza was just ok. I had heard rave reviews from friends about this place so I was a little disappointed. I just got the pepperoni, because I'm a plain Jane when it comes to pizza. I hear their specialty pizzas are where it's at so maybe this place deserves another shot from me, but I really just though they were ok. I also tried their wings which I though were dry and kind of boring as they had no dipping sauce. This place is just meh for me.
(3)Stephen C.
Wow, did I mess up. After three years in Florida, I am moving in 2 days. I messed up by not hitting this place up when I first got down here!! I ordered a pizza to go after picking my dad up at the airport, and it was amazing. I didn't get anything fancy, just a plain cheese pizza but wow, it was so unexpectedly awesome. The pizza has a smokey flavor and the crust is just the right amount of crispy and doughy. The sauce was my favorite part, it was tangy and fresh tasting. If you guys want to open up a shop in Portland Maine, I'll hand out flyers for minimum wage to spread the word of how badass of a pizza place you have going! Anyway stop reading this review and check this place out!
(5)Kaya G.
So.... This New Yorker has been promised authentic pizza for 4 years... My time has come. Recently back in the NYC I had my 1 am stop for a slice at $1.00 and my heart raced I was so happy! Well, happy again. Love love love. No need for a long drawn out review. Pretty simple - ambiance- fabu and legit. Salad- hearty and legit. Some chick peas and olives and a bit of celery definitely surpassed those measly starter salads. Legit. Ok eggplant Marino pizza. I now bow down To you. Tomato sauce, hublongous generous seriously full top eggplant. Topped with Pecorino cheese. LEGIT Needless to say I will be back. Without shame, I own the fact that I totally ordered another pizza to go. It's on. It's legit.
(5)Umar G.
It was awesome to comeback to FTL and try some old favorites! This place was just as good as I remember it . Had a large salad and the chicken wings . The salad was crisp, perfectly dressed and had just the right amount of crunch and bite . Make sure you order it with the Gorgonzola cheese to add that unctuous saltiness that makes it perfect . The wings were perfection . Grilled blackened yet crisp and meaty . Be sure to ask for some lemon to cut the fattiness. Overall very pleased .
(4)Diana H.
I have always been a fan of Anthony's. Their oven makes everything extra delicious!! I had a small pizza and their wings. The wings are so crispy they taste like they're fried, but they're just oven baked!! I had a good experience in this Anthony's, I was seated right away and the barely waited for the food. The waitress was great and even packed my food to go. Definitely a place to eat for amazing pizza!!
(5)Caro D.
The food is ok! We were expecting to be a little bit more tasty... The service was not outstanding! We asked for chicken wings and they were ok, not super delicious like the waitress recommended us. The pizza was the best part of the meal! We like it!

My parents really enjoy this place as far as good go and that would be the only time I come here is for them. The food is okay, but the servers are just too snooty. I work in the restaurant business and have always felt it important to be friendly. Every time I walk in to pick up an order no one even smiles. Do you hate your job, or did I just inconvenience the hostess to get off the phone for two seconds. I walk in and a young man helped me out and as I walk to the stand the lady just says 33$ and whatever the change was, and then just goes on her phone with the other worker, it was awkward.. As far as I'm concerned they shouldn't even be on their phone, especially if it means ignoring people. Thank you to the one guy who put my stuff together, and the only reason I added an extra star.

GREAT PIZZA MEMORIES Been waiting a long long time for a trip back to this specific Fort Lauderdale Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. Little has changed, it's tiny parking lot is full and there's a packed house for pizza lovers who are all convinced they're eating South Florida's very best. We're convinced too after biting into their signature thin crusted pizza combo "Paul & Young Ron." Our memories and taste buds don't defy us.

Anthony's Coal Fired pizza in Delray Beach Fl. is my favorite location. Tonights meal was no different than previous over last few years Delicious! The pizza is thin crust with tasty sauce and cheese we also had the wings tonight which are meaty and Delicious! Beer selection is a plus!
(5)Erika J.
Great Pizza great atmosphere! They have a fun outdoor area with live music. Try the meatball Riccotta pie!
(4)Erica T.
When we got here I wasnt sure. They only had some fake lemon sweet tea and the soda was in bottles. Then the pizza came. Nothing mattered after that. We had the meatball and ricotta. The meatballs were homemade! It was cooked perfectly. If we were local this would be our new place.
(5)Ray N.
Excellent pizza and a huge salad that could feed 3 or 4. Excellent service. Clean location. Right across from Ace Rent a Car. This was my first stop.

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is everything you come to love about a neighborhood pizza place, plus it's conveniently located the beach. The interior is basic with simple wooden chairs and tables, which seat a little more than 50 people. There is also a small bar which is stocked with quality craft beer and a clear view of the TV, which will most assuredly have ESPN on. Clearly the owner appreciates the better things in life - pizza and sports. The coal fired ovens catch the eye immediately as you walk in and create an authentic aroma throughout the restaurant. There are also several other TV's throughout the restaurant, in between all of the Dolphins and other Miami sports memorabilia. Of course the TV's are tuned into ESPN as well. Décor aside, the real treasure here is still the food. The menu is limited in options, but any pizza lover will be able to find something for them. The traditional pies (plain cheese with options for toppings) are beyond delicious and just so well executed. The crust has that very slight black char from the oven; the cheese used always tastes fresh and strings out as you pull a slice of pie from the rest of the pizza. The cheese also doesn't have that oily consistency or taste that a lot of other cheaper pizza places use. Anything with the sausage or meat on it is also very good. Not sure if they are prepared in house or not, but regardless they tasted great and compliment the pies well. There are also a bunch of specialty pies, which feature a combination of ingredients and toppings. I haven't sampled any of them, since I was only in Ft. Lauderdale for a short vacation but I will say the sausage and broccoli rabe pizza looked fantastic. You can't go wrong though either way, these pizzas are better than most places in New York. Interestingly enough though, the pizza isn't the best part - the coal fired chicken wings topped caramelized onions take the cake. Each chicken wing and drumstick has a delicious crunchy skin from the coal fired oven. The chicken pieces also get a lovely smoky aroma from the oven, which perfectly complements the rosemary and pepper seasoning. The caramelized onions and juices that come out of the chicken wings drip down onto the focaccia bread on the bottom, which becomes another tasty snack. In short, delicious eats are plentiful at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. From the pizzas, to the chicken wings, to Italian soul food - everything is good. Prices are also very reasonable, as everything is family style and under $20.

Great place to eat if you are staying pre or post cruise hotel nearby. Good bar selection as well. Get the meatball appetizer, can't go wrong!

I hope to god Anthony's opens up in Northern VA because that was the best pizza I've ever had! And wings. Good lord the wings. I have very high pizza standards as I make them myself at home and have developed a talent for it but obviously nothing I will ever make in an oven can beat pizza made in a professional pizza oven. The pizza was delicious beyond belief. The wings were incredible and crisp and I worried that they didn't come with any sauces or even dipping sauces but you absolutely do not need anything else with them. Our waitress was very nice and pretty and personable. I had to have her explain the only cocktail drink on the menu to me because I wasn't familiar with the spirits in it, she was very nice about it and didn't look at me like I was retarded. I do wish they would have a larger variety of cocktails, but the one I got was delicious. I can't wait to go back there!!

I think Anthonys Coal Fired Pizza needs to change their name to Anthony's burnt to a crisp pizza. We went to Anthonys last night. It was about a 20 minute wait for two, which we expected so we sat at the bar and grabbed a drink. The bartender was excellent. We were sat much quicker than 20 minutes. Our server wasn't very friendly & seemed annoyed to be taking care of us. We ordered a small order of wings and Philly cheesesteak pizza. The wings came out fast....but unfortunately over half of our wings were burnt beyond recongition. Completely black, inedible wings. Disgusting. The wings that weren't burnt were great. When our pizza came, our server asked if we wanted to take home the rest of our wings & we pointed out that they weren't edible. Our sever responded "oh, sorry you don't like then well done". No, I don't like my food burnt. If I wanted my food burnt, I would have tried to cook at home myself. Our pizza was pretty good, there was one piece that was really burnt but other cooked perfect. I'd give Anthonys 2.5 stars because our server and the awful disgusting wings. We would give them another try, but would absolutely skip the wings.
(2)Bill P.
I was here for work and was eating late take out behind the hotel I see Anthonys pizza. I ordered a pie for pickup mushroom/sausage/light sauce. Excellent pizza, not New York but, I like a variety of pizza not a NY pizza Snob. The pizza was very good, I like the burnt flavor and it is not overly done. Plus, BIG PLUS, Peroni on tap, I ended up eating in to have a couple. Great place. Have tried a couple of them now, they seem to be consistent across the chain.
(4)Dina S.
So I came here to kill some time before an ariving fleight. I was alone, I sat at the bar. The customer service provided by Melissa, my bartender was exceptional. Also, even other customer that she serviced If I am ever in the areaa again, I would come back just for the service. Being from the industry o am very critical. The food was ok, filling. I wish I was with a bigger crud to try the pizza Great job Melissa, I heart customer service
(5)Kim D.
Starting with the kid at the curb saying "get the wings" to great service inside and the BEST coal fired pie EVER! Truly one destination not to be missed!!
(5)Rob H.
Just amazing, as a native New Yorker very picky about pizza. The pizza was as good as if not better than home. Wait staff just as good too. And as an added bonus, craft beers on tap!
(5)Marcelo P.
cons: The pizza and chicken wings served burned why? who knows Pros: price and quality products.

For a pizza place, this place tops all others in Broward County. We have been to a few Pizza places since we moved here but this place absolutely takes the cake. Our friend Chris brought us here for dinner before heading to a show in Miami. He said we had to get the Italian salad with gorgonzola, chicken wings, the spicy ribs and the tomato and mozzarella pizza. We ordered those plus a small white pizza. It was a little too much food in the end but the guys were all really hungry. Chris was right about all of his choices. Everything was delicious. There is a reason so many people talk about the chicken wings and taken pictures of them. The wings are cooked perfectly with a crispy skin on the outside, seasoned well and the meat falls right of the bone. This is also the case with the Ribs. I don't know why there are not more pictures of these ribs!!!! Some may be afraid to eat them because it says they are spicy! The ribs are not overly spicy or overly seasoned but they have a perfect spice to them and taste incredible. I will be going back for the spiced Ribs and chicken wings!! The ribs were cooked so perfect and I love that they were not bbq!!! The service was good. They serve wine and beer. They have a more limited menu but they cook everything on their menu to perfection! The food was worth every penny!! Around 6:00pm they start to get busy.
(5)Troy I.
I like this place and usually get a pepperoni pizza and a glass of red wine. Last week, I got the cauliflower pizza. It has a strong flavor and was excellent. Also, check in on FourSquare and get 4 excellent free chicken wings while you await your order.
(4)Wendy L.
We live in Scottsdale, AZ. We came to Fort Lauderdale to visit family and took a chance on the ratings of Anthony Coal Fire Pizza. It is simply amazing. My boyfriend is from New Jersey and said he hasn't had pizza this good anywhere but NJ/NY. I highly recommend this place if your looking for great pizza! BTW, the service was top notch as well.
(5)Jim N.
Love me some good pizza and beer..but need to watch the waistline. My buddy and i broke down and went one friday night for a pizza and a few beers. the waitress was awesome, service was excellent, pizza was fantastic and the beer...well it was cold :) and mighty fine. While we were waiting for the pizza, we asked the waitress about the wings. She described them and we said we wold try them the next time. When she came back with our net round of beer, she brought four wings and said "here try these and let me know what you think" Wow, give her a raise, they were awesome but she was spot-on. Love this place. It is just a little noisy - but thats because everyone is having fun and i am an old fart :)
(4)Clarence E.
Well I stopped by on the way to the airport and had an amazing sammie...the Coal Oven Chicken Sandwich. Apart from some slight charring on the bread/pie, the chicken, tomato and arugula along with melted mozzarella blended like a charm. Juice from the sandwich made it an oozing 3 napkin affair. Awesome! It was on the lunch menu, so kudos to the bartender for letting know. She didn't steer me wrong. Yum!
(4)Costa T.
I don't know what it is about Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza locations, but the staff at every single one I've been to (4 to date) has been exceptional. This one by the airport in Ft. Lauderdale is no exception. I live in Miami but most of my friends fly in to FLL to visit. I make an effort to take them to Anthony's before their flight on the way out every time, and every one of them has enjoyed it as much as I have. The last two times I've been to this location, I've eaten at the bar and been served by the bartender Natalie. She is easily one of the most friendly and professional bartenders I've ever come across. Not only is she quick and professional, but she is always exceptionally friendly. She takes the time to explain menu items, recommend alternatives, and always has our food out quickly and with a smile. And, the food. Amazing. In all my trips to various Anthony's I've sampled about 75% of their menu. Everything I've had has been amazing. From the broccoli rabe and sausages, to the meatballs and marinara, pizza with finger peppers, even the salads and bread - all of them have been incredible. This place serves true Italian comfort food at affordable prices with exceptional service. I will go back to Anthony's every chance I get.
(5)Dan B.
How could this place not get five stars. The pizza is a given that it is really good. But you got to try the ribs. Like nothing I have never tried before. Wow were they good.
(5)Sach M.
Great pizzas, ample parking, friendly staff and excellent service, what else do I need? May be the beach :)
(4)Sabrina S.
Was in town to take a cruise. We stayed the night before in a nearby hotel. When asking the locals where to get a great lunch the overwhelming response was this restaurant! It would be a five star review if we only ordered the pizza, but the wings which were really being hyped were pretty boring overall. The pizza however.... oh man. That was the BEST pizza I've ever had in my life. The hubby and I still recall it fondly, lol. We got the Paul and Young Ron with half sweet peppers and half hot peppers. It came with mini meatballs and sausage and ricotta. If we didn't live over 1000 miles away I would return often. Thanks for a great meal to remember FL by! PS I posted pics of the meal if you care to see....
(4)Vicki S.
Great pizza with unusual toppings, Anthony's never lets me down. I have friends who live near the Anthony's on US1 by the airport who don't eat meat so we usually order the cauliflower pizza. I love veggie pizzas and this one is my personal favorite, it's delicious, much better than you would think it possibly could be because the cauliflower is highly seasoned. I usually add some wings and salad to my order. Honestly for me this place is really "comfort food" I would give it 5 stars but there are a couple of things I don't love about the place - it's really noisy, and there's not enough parking. Even with the across the street lot there are often no open spots. But the food and service more than makes up for it. I'm a fan!
(4)kevin O.
Best pizza ever! Had the meatball and ricotta great crust, sauce, and tons of mini amazing meatballs. Saw a food show on Fort Lauderdale food last week and happened to be coming down from Worcester.
(5)Dan M.
I went here with the family today based on the score on here i thought why not. My family is really Italian and I used to live in nyc for years so I'd like to think I know a thing or two about good pizza. We started with the calamari and lemme just say it was AWFUL. They managed to over cook it beyond chewy; nearly inedible (and my father agreed). After complaining to the cute waitress and expecting at least a free appetizer or for them to remake it...nope. Finally after the calamari disaster we got to try the cheese pizza 16" pie. It's coal fired and just the right amount of crispy. Honestly some of the best pizza in town. And for 5 bucks you could even get a personal za'. If it wasn't for the calamari experience this place would have a 4 but I have to take off one for the rubber calamari.
(3)Mariam D.
Anthony's offers a limited menu of coal fired pizza, wings, and salad, as well as limited parking to add to the experience. This is a popular place to grab lunch with coworkers or a quick bite if you're in the area, but as indicated by the definition of a two-star review, I've definitely experienced better. Worth a try because everyone in South Fla talks about this place, but don't go out of your way. (0.5 star) for the wings...they're served in a pool of oil and onions + (0.5 star) for charring a pizza that is already struggling to be complete + (1 star) for friendly and attentive service= my 2-star review.
(2)Michael W.
Was staying at the Crown Plaza down the street. Discovered Anthony's walking down the street trying to find a place to eat. Was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I grew up in Brooklyn with Italian Grandparents and friends. I tend to be a little critical with Italian restaurants. The broccoli rabe pizza was awesome .Eggplant parmesan was delicious. Wait staff was very personable and took great pride in their restaurant. Will eat there again next I'm in the area.
(4)Tricia T.
I was literally writing this review in my head as I ate. :) I'm pregnant and have YET to say "I'm eating for two"... but I tell you what - - THIS PLACE made me eat for two!! WOW!!!! What a great experience! Ambiance - awesome! love the dark wood and warm walls, felt like I was at a place nicer than just a pizzeria. LOVED all of the music and sports memorabilia on the walls. TV's were all around - so you could still catch the game. FOOD - loved the salad!!! LOVED the pizza!!! We happen to drive past this place while we were in town on vacation, so of course I yelped and found that it was rated VERY highly. We knew it was a must-try. And we were NOT dissapointed. Before we left we were talking about whether or not we wanted to get one to go, or just go back again before we leave. Ha Ha. My husband said something that I had to laugh at... "I'm in Pizza Bliss". Enjoy this fab pizza place with great ambiance!
(5)Tamara B.
Really good eggplant pizza! Wings were awesome!! Bathrooms are Clean and very well maintained Satisfied!
(4)Andrew J.
I recently visited Anthony's for the first time, and I was impressed with the experience. The restaurant is well decorated and suitable for either a date night or a good time with friends. The pizza selections are numerous, and you can mix and match. We ordered a half cheese, half meatball & ricotta pizza, along with a lunch salad. The salad was big, and the pizza arrived with an appropriately crispy crust. I was most impressed by the light amount of grease on the pizza--you don't feel the need to dab a napkin on top. Strangely, all sodas are served with a glass of ice and the can, which I found...low class. Please get a soda fountain so we can have more room on the table.
(4)Sam L.
The BEST Pizza in Ft Lauderdale!
(5)Bob S.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is simply the best! They have a culture of customer service, reliability and quality that is unmatched not only in South Florida but around the country! I dine at one of their locations at least twice a week, sometimes more. The Fort Lauderdale location with Michelangelo, Jeremy, Natalie, Casey, Melissa P, Kelly, Alejandra, Melissa A, Melina, Mikey, Bryan, Coley, Gaby and Pat is unrivaled! Every so often I get to talk to Anthony himself. There is no better pizza, tuna, meatballs in Florida. Thanks for great food and a great dining experience. You all rock!
(5)Rick A.
Being an Italian New Yorker I recently tried anthonys pizza which was very good, the salad was just like my grandma used to make , service excellent and an overall positive experience! Highly recommend! Try his upscale runway 84 for real Italian food!
(5)Jessie L.
I just ate the most greasiest piece of shit that I've ever eaten in my life. I ordered the Italian tuna salad sandwich on focaccia bread. This heart attack on a plate made me feel like I just ordered 10 Big Macs from McDonald's. Might as well have injected it into my artery. They also don't have enough choices on their menu. I'd like to see more Italian dishes. They don't even have a side of pasta. Very disappointed in Anthony's because, normally, their pizza, salad, and wings are very good.
(2)Deven B.
I love this place. We go here all the time because they have the best pizza in town. Coal fired pizza that's always "Well Done" as their motto goes. I usually get half eggplant & riccota and half meatball & riccotta. The large is enough for up to three and the salads are enough for four. And because it's so good it's just as popular - always a wait and they don't take reservations *GRR. Their drink selection is very limited, too. BEST PIZZA IN FORT LAUDERDALE.
(4)Addy C.
According to the menu, their "traditional pie consists of the finest mozzarella, Italian plum tomatoes, Romano cheese, basil & olive oil." Overall, pizza tasted great - my only complaint was too much char on the crust. I wish I'd remembered to take a photo b/c I know "char" can be a debatable topic. I love eating crust, I don't mind eating slightly charred crust, but I don't particularly care for crust that clearly looks very burnt - like really very black. Still, minus the black crust, the other parts were good enough to warrant 4 stars - plus service was very friendly. We did carry-out, and ordered 2 pizzas, 1 large and 1 small. The large is a 16" which is $14.75, + $2.50 for the 1st additional topping and $1.50 thereafter. We got the Italian sausage & sweet peppers. Delicious. The small is a 12" for $11.75, + $1.50 for each additional topping. We got the prosciutto & mushrooms. If you love prosciutto, get the prosciutto b/c they give you a very generous amount ... if you just sorta like prosciutto, don't get it b/c it made for a very salty pizza. I'd probably try the pepperoni next time. Thanks to Embassy Suites for helping me find this place - it was listed as one of their nearby restaurants, and thanks to Yelp for helping me decide this place might be worth visiting based on their great reviews. Place was packed during lunch - the parking lot was full. Parking lot guy was nice and let us park on the curb since we were doing carry-out. If you are doing carry-out, I'd recommend getting drinks elsewhere - their 20 oz. bottle of Coke cost $2.65.
(4)Sabrina S.
I usually love this place. I guess now they are busy enough that they have thrown customer service out the window. I called in an order this evening. My husband and child went to pick it up. When they arrived the staff could not find my order. They made the wrong thing charges my husband $50 and he brought it home. I called to speak with a manager. He finally admitted that they did not make my order after arguing with me on the phone (really?? Arguing with a customer??). He then proceeded to lie and tell me that they made why my husband asked for from scratch. That isn't even possible. Only 15 minutes had elapsed since my husband sent a text telling me they were u able to find the order and when he arrived at home. We live 15 minutes away. Therefore they just gave him (probably someone else's order). I very upset mostly because of the unnecessary rudeness. How hard is it to say I'm sorry and make the order correctly. Apparently too hard for the manager at Anthony's on Federal. Sad. It was my favorite pizza place for years. I won't be returning.
(1)James R.
The absolute hands-down best pizza and chicken wings anywhere.
(5)Asif W.
Excellent Italian pies. Fresh, simply ingredients executed magnificently by way of Coal Fire Oven. Awesome.
(5)David And Jill S.
The service was efficient and friendly. Our order was taken right away, food was delivered promptly, drinks refilled & plates cleared immediately in between courses. Definitely have to try the wings...they are char-grilled and come with caramelized onions & focaccia. Pizza was good...fresh ingredients although crust is definitely well done. We ordered small wings & small pizza and still couldn't finish everything.
(4)Jeff D.
This review is location specific.....ONLY for the Anthony's @ 2203 S Federal Highway The other Anthony's we've been to so many times are fantastic... Ft Lauderdale on the other hand....is like a completely different restaurant. We stopped for dinner en route home from the beach...2 parents...3 kids...OBVIOUSLY from the beach. There were maybe 7 tables seated. I order wings, meatballs & 2 pizzas...i tell the guy we are starving, just bring them out whenever they come up. meatballs come out 1st....13 minutes later the wings come out 25 MINUTES after the wings....we still dont have any pizza. our sheet for brains waiter thought he was working at Anthony's Runway 84 & staggered our entire order...didnt put the wings in until the meatballs came out and then didnt put the pizza in until the wings came i asked the female manager what the problem was & she said "this is the standard wait time based on the ticket". i said that i understand it is....but this guy should have ordered the pizzas 40 minutes ago. she then told me that ours was the next pizza out...i said we are leaving if it isnt...it wasnt....so we left we have been to Anthony's in weston, coral springs, pembroke pines, aventura AND orlando...and have always had a great time & a waiter or waitress w/ common sense. the fact that the manager backed him up was most disappointing if only the staff at ft lauderdale Anthony's was as good as the pizza
(1)Emily G.
I have been here about 3 or 4 times and my experience has always been exactly the same: suuuuper long wait, relatively fast service and good pizza. The good pizza is to be expected, however my 4 star review stems from the surprisingly delicious salad. Why? Cause lets face it, most pizza places have ridiculously sucky salads. They put a whole head of lettuce with 2 peppers and one whole tomato and they toss it with nasty ranch. Bleh. But not Anthony's. Their simple (and only salad) composed of lettuce, onions, feta cheese, olives and chick peas (tossed in a slightly oily dressing) is light yet flavorful and the perfect combo to a pizza coming up next. I emptied that salad bowl in seconds. After such a good start, your night can only get better as their small selection of pizzas are also pretty delicious. The meatball and sausage pizza with sweet peppers is probably their biggest one and most flavorful as it has tons of ingredients... and its 99% meat. The eggplant one is also tasty and the meatball/sausage with HOT peppers is quite dangerous as they put entire peppers there, ready to scorch your entire inner workings. Finally, as simple and tasty as the arugula pizza is, I don't recommend it unless you are planning on finishing the whole thing at the restaurant - it doesn't quite work as a 'leftovers' pizza. Top it up with a couple of beers and wine and you have a winning combination. Oh and if it looks full, Anthony's has 3 different parking areas around that neighborhood, so keep on looking!
(4)Collin B.
Love this pizza. I'm of the opinion that most pizza is good (hard to mess up too bad) and very little is stand out. This is stand out. Their wings are also awesome.
(4)J. S.
I'm skeptical of any pizzeria with an Italian-American name -- Joe's, Anthony's, Tony's, Sal's -- they all usually have mediocre pizza and awful salads. Why not just sell pizza? At least in Jersey we have Italian Cheeseburgers, but, oh well. At Anthony's, the pizza's okay, nothing special. The wing's and salads are surprisingly...good. The service is attentive, again, nothing special. If you really want 4 or 5-star authentic-Italian pizza, then I'd hit up Panaretto's on SE 17th street (not far from Anthony's). I usually get their fresh tomato and basil pie -- you'll enjoy the slight char and great flavor -- they have pretty decent wings, too. ? Note ? There's very limited parking space. In fact, they have a guy out there directing people in and out of the lot. If you're no Jean Russo, then polish on your parking skills before arriving.
(3)Alex C.
good pizza and good wings. this is suppose to be their original location as well. i was referred here by a co-worker and was NOT disappointed. the pizza is delicious and the caramelized onions over the simply seasoned wings with just enough char is amazing. i'll definitely be back.
(4)Michael B.
I really don't know if you will find a better pizza anywhere. We stopped by this place for lunch on a Friday and it was somewhat busy, but the service was top-notch. Were waived into the parking lot by an attendant who looks like is there to make sure there are empty spots available (otherwise he will direct you to park elsewhere.) As we walked in there was someone greeting us at the door. Waiter was quick, gave good suggestions. The food is phenomenal. We tried the eggplant for appetizer. It was amazing. Just enough cheese and sauche, and the eggplant PERFECTLY cooked. I know everyone says to get the wings, but man, this is definitely a must try. We got a small pizza with Sausage, Prosciutto and Mushrooms. It was awesome! So much flavor, toppings were great, the crust was just right. Seriously AWESOME pizza.
(5)Rob C.
Great place for lunch or dinner. Pizza is great. Really thin and crispy, so good. Wings are great too. There's a few locations now around my area and I have been to two now and have not been let down. The Paul and young Ron pie aside from the pepperoni pies are my favs!
(5)K C.
Really good pizza ,reasonable prices. Wish they had fresh brewed tea as they only sell it by the bottle. I'm from Texas and love brewed tea. Service and atmosphere were very nice. Plenty of TV's if you want to watch sports. Crowded during lunch and not much parking, but they had someone outside to assist if you couldn't find a spot.
(5)Lasonya R.
It's been a while since I been here, but just found it crossing my mind. This place is one of my favorites in Florida. I loved the wings with the grilled onions and focaccia bread! Something about those sweet onions and smoky charred wings on top of the bread just did it for me. I am also in love with the Philly cheesesteak pizza! Needing to get me some soon!
(5)Robin E.
Tried Anthony's for the first time tonight, carryout. I was disappointed. My husband picked up the pizza and brought it home, and it was merely okay. Perhaps it's more of a dine-in experience? There are so many incredible little pizza joints in the area, and I honestly thought this pizza would rock my world, what with all the reviews. The ingredients seemed to be quality, the dough was good, and the sauce had a nice flavor as well. However, this pizza did not "wow" me. We also ordered a salad, but the dressing provided was nothing more than a small container of olive oil. As a first time consumer, I don't think I'll be returning any time soon.
(2)Mike L.
The pizza was not bad at all, but I have to say the server was by far the most miserable person I have ever encountered in any restaurant I have ever been to, anywhere! This made my review of what would have been 4 stars a 3. The manager was not much better - he eyeballed me like I was dressed funny or a big cow - while he looked at me, he was talking to another server and laughing. Not a good thing to do in a restaurant. I am not insecure, nor am I paranoid, it was just a very weird situation that only got worse as the time passed. The hostess, on the other hand, could not have been sweeter and would do well as a server that's for sure. I had the Margherita Pizza which was very good - the baked chicken wings looked very good, but I don't usually go to an Italian place for wings, unless it's chicken limone, so I opted for a pizza - the house Salad was excellent! I love Chick peas and the dressing and hard boiled egg made it a perfect 10! I realize everyone has a bad day, God knows I have had my share, but guess what, SNAP OUT OF IT! When I asked when we were first seated if she was mad or is there something wrong, she simply replied, "I'm serious and just want to make sure the order is correct"......sorry, but this is not an attorney/client consultation, this is a RESTAURANT where people want to go so they don't have to eat at home, so aside from getting the order correct, the JOB of the server is to make them feel COMFORTABLE and WELCOMED - Not a bother. She never smiled once and I felt very uncomfortable the entire time. She also passed our table 4 times and looked at my empty glass of water each time - I was only drinking water with my meal so I was very thirsty after 20 minutes. I had to wave down another waiter for a refill, even though he brought the pitcher to his table only and also never bothered to fill any empty glasses on his way back to the bar area. I am not a hard person to please. You have to be REALLY be a bad server to piss me off. She did that to me. I am positive they will do well without my cash and this place is certainly a gold mine without a doubt. I am certain they are going to expand towards the East into the vacant spaces because they are so busy and successful but hell will freeze before I ever go back - Sorry, I just can't do it.
