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.

Just went to Anthony's. Overall I thought the pizza was good. I liked the sauce on the plain cheese pizza. It was sweet and a little zesty. I get the idea of a oven fired pizza and everything, but the crust on the pizza (my favorite part) was burnt. The Philly cheese steak pizza was also very good. The place was packed - not sure if it was because it was a Friday during Lent or what, but we waited for 45 minutes. A little weird - when I asked for a Coke it was given to me in a plastic bottle...do they not have a fountain machine like every other restaurant? The server was very nice and personable. He highly recommend the wings. It was a little loud for me. The prices were fair - actually less than I thought they might be.

I'd like to give this place a 3.5. Decent pizza, good atmosphere and a simple variety of choices on the menu! I highly recommend the Eggplant Marino pizza with a glass of the Shock Top Belgian White beer. Their portions are big. So remember, if you're thinking ordering a side of the Classic Italian Salad for two - it's really not portioned for two! That bowl could easily serve 5. It's always packed in the evenings on weekends so be prepared for a fairly long wait - I would suggest trying them out during lunch.

As far as the pizza goes, it was good. I wouldn't drive all the way to Robinson for it, but I had no complaints about the food. The space itself is adequate. The server provided great service. However, the manager that approached our table was irritating. She attempted to sell us more food after our server had already taken our order. I found it to be pretty annoying, and if I was the server I would be pissed that my manager wasn't letting me do my job.

Great pizza and the best wings I have ever had.

I took a party of 4 here last Saturday .. It was ok .. There are signs all over warning u about the well cooked pizza .. It's code for a little burnt .. For a pizza that starts at around 20 dollars it's a little disappointing .. I paid 50 dollars for a kinda burnt pizza , 2 salads where the cheese costs two dollars extra and 4 bottled drinks cause there are no soft drinks on tap .. All in all try it if u want to be able to say you did otherwise go somewhere else ..

Pizza topped with mushrooms and pepperoni! Mmmm. They warn you about the pizza being "well-done" like it's a BAD thing. I think the blackened (yet soft and chewy/crispy) crust was my favorite part!! This pizza is BOSS. If you're picky about your pizza, just go to Anthony's. They won't let you down. The service is GREAT. Crystal was our waitress, big ups to Crystal! She was busy, yet attentive. This place... Oh, and the atmosphere! We came with a party of four and had to wait to be seated along with a handful of other parties. The place was PACKED. GOOD SIGN, PEOPLE!! Overall, nice atmosphere. Delicious pizza. Done.

My old college roommate kept talking about the Anthony's in FL and how wonderful the food was. So, we tried the Anthony's in Settler's Ridge. The pizza one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The location is great because if you are going to have a long wait, you can get shopping done. The "To Go" process is great too. Call when I leave work and my dinner is ready when I drive up to the door.

If you have never been here, they will bring you a free sample of their wings. Great salad and great service. Highly recommend the eggplant pizza. The dough is made fresh! The salad pizza looks good, although I haven't tried it.

I am going to rate my experience as I dine.... Wait time for server to come 7 min...just to take drink orders 12 mins to get the drinks 36 min to get food food quality and selection----- quality....unfortunately whenever they get more than 3-5 tables in at the same time they try to knock out all of the pizzas right away which is making the quality horrible....our pizza was chewy not crispy as they said it would be, one half was cooked ok and the other half was undercooked....their sauce has chunks of tomato in it...it didn't taste bad but it could have been done better... selection.....the selection is very small...you can get chicken wings but they don't have any types of sauces....so for those of you out there that like BBQ, buffalo or hot don't look to Anthonys to provide this. .... now i was very suprised that this italian eatery DOESNT even have an Italian hoagie of some sort, instead they have a tuna fish sandwich....weird huh Overall it is very loud and very crowded we will not be returning....bad service...bad food...go to milanos and save ur money

I went here on a Friday night with a group and the place was packed. Not only was the restaurant packed, but the entire parking lot was slammed. I feel like this was poor planning on the developer of the strip mall - there's a lot there with little space. That said, plan on walking to get to this restaurant. We had a 45 minute wait for a table, although I don't think we waited quite that long. The restaurant itself isn't very big but I did like the decor and it was clean. Tables are close together and small. Everything was crowded. The menu, again, is small. Pizza - all specialties if I am remembering correctly, wings (not your typical wings, these have no sauce but are covered with delicious onions and served with focaccia bread) and then they offer some salads. The beer menu didn't offer much either. There were maybe six kinds and I have no clue what is on tap but I can tell you that Yuengling and Shock Top will be brought to you in bottles. The Shock Top will set you back $6. I think they offered a lot of wine but since I don't care for it, I didn't look at it. The service was pretty good. They were quick to clear our tables and bring out our drinks and food. All in all, it was okay. I won't go out of my way for this place because its just way too crowded and busy for my tastes. But, if you're nearby, give it a try, preferably not on a weekend. Just an fyi.. Four beers, a bottle of wine, a large pizza and wings set us back ~$100.
(3)Jordan D.
Top notch pizza, folks. The service is always fantastic, and everything (from the salad to the wings) is amazing. Love it.
(5)B P.
Some of the best pizza I have ever had! I recommend the eggplant Marino and Paul and Young Ron with hot peppers! Exceptional service! Absolutely the fastest service. I would come everyday if I could.
(5)R P.
Very nice restaurant that has a patio, bar and dining area. The server was extremely helpful and nice. The pizza was excellent. They have a yummy pumpkin beer they has cinnamon on the lip of the glass. Would definitely recommend this place others.
(4)Chastity E.
We went here for happy hour, the bartender was super friendly and attentive. The beer was expensive, 6.50-7ish. I live in the city and see beer cheaper. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, it was good for the most part! The taste of the coal fire is amazing but for a 20 dollar large pizza, it could of used more sauce and cheese. A little too expensive for what it actually is. It was overall a good experience.
(3)Cyndi B.
We got there at 5:50 pm on a Saturday night-place was full. We were told it would be a 25 minute wait, it was a half hour. We were able to grab some space at the bar so the wait wasn't bad. It also gave us an opportunity to check out the different dishes coming from the kitchen on the way to the waiting patrons. We had two pizzas, wings and ribs between two couples, the food was delicious:) although a bit pricey. The atmosphere was loud, crowded and filled with delicious smells, yet we were able to talk amongst ourselves and be heard without difficulty. All in all a good time.
(4)Scott A.
The pizza is pretty good. The wings were very good. Service was good. I think it is a little over priced. Didnt like that pop comes in a plastice bottle $2.99 each.

My boyfriend and I came to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza after a terrible experience at Cadillac ranch-which resulted in only one of us getting a drink(mine was "forgotten" about as they changed the tap) and no food. So we were rather hungry at this point and made our way to Anthony's about 30 minutes before they closed.To start, their drinks are insanely expensive for a quick bite after a movie-which was all this was supposed to be. However, my frustration from Cadillac got the best of me and I settled on a glass of wine-for $11.00. My boyfriend got a Yuengling which was considerably more reasonably priced.After reviewing the menu, we decided we wanted to make a pizza with prosciutto, mushrooms, and olives. Unfortunately, after ordering our server-who was incredibly warm,helpful, and attentive -came back and told us they were out of the prosciutto so we settled for pepperoni. The pizza, of course, was "well done" around the edges, however, the center was considerably underdone. The flavors were great and the pizza would have been excellent had it not been for the undercooked center. Overall, we will probably not be back-we had a total of 3 drinks (1 glass of wine,2 yuenglings) and the pizza and our bill was pushing $60.00 which is more than we had originally expected to spend for a quick bite to eat after a movie.And, as I said before, the pizza, although the flavors were good was undercooked in the center-which did not ruin the pizza entirely but came close to it. I do not feel the need to revisit this establishment.
(2)Patrick P.
Atmosphere: The restaurant is an open space with hard surfaces. The hard surface net effect makes the place loud. I was with an older woman (mid-70's) who had a very hard time hearing the conversation. Food: My party was observing lent. We ordered the Egg Plant appetizer, Sweet Pepper Pizza, and the Cheese Calzone. Each had decent flavor but nothing to take it to the next level of other wood or coal fire pizzerias I have visited. Please note that the pizza are "well done" which I prefer (crust must pass the stand test - ie. No floppy slices). The oils from the cheese still made my pizza soggy. Service: Our service was great. The waitress was very attentive and kept our refreshments filled. Price: Pretty Expensive - You are not at ... Pick your Chain here... Overall - I really don't think I will go out of my way to visit this place but if it is convenient or other folks want to go then I will give it another try.
(3)Nick M.
Only dealt with the bartenders so I can't speak much on the full service. All I can say is the bartenders are good at their job. I usually just order a pizza and a beer. Specialty pizzas here have not intrigued me. I tend to get a cheese or pepperoni pizza. I enjoy the thin crust on their pizzas. Most places around here only do a thick traditional crust. They have a slightly better beer selection than most places around. On the weekends it is packed. This is a hot spot on the weekends.
(3)Rebecca G.
The pizza is good, but I don't really get the burnt crust thing. Whatever... I mean, there was nothing bad or wrong with the pizza, but it was kind of bland. We got the arugula and added hot peppers. The sauce was uneven and tasteless. Peppers were super hot. Just not great.
(3)Wascally W.
This is a review where the stars are based solely on the service. I've been here several times in the past, and though I'm a NYC pizza kind of guy, something about the burnt thin crust, sauce and toppings really appeal to me. I took an out of town guest here Wednesday night. We were seated almost immediately. We ordered a large pizza with mushrooms and sausage, a small order of meatballs and ricotta, and a couple of iced teas. I still don't get the "only bottled soft drinks here" thing. Why no fountain drinks - you have beer taps? C'mon. Anyway, there was a couple with a small child seated on the other side of the restaurant from us and the little Beelzabub had a scream somewhere between Jamie Lee Curtis and nails on chalkboard. And it was near constant. The parents just talked and laughed, and would give the kids things to play with, which she would immediately deposit on the floor. I didn't want to complain to them or the wait staff, but you'd think they would say something to the couple. Or that the couple would, heaven forbid, parent. But it went on for a bit, disturbing everyone in the restaurant. Such is life I guess - finally they left of their own accord. I'm all for family friendly, but doesn't a Tazmanian Devil fall under the category of pets? First our meatballs arrived, and they were delicious, with a small dollop of ricotta and sauce. Then our pizza came, with the same delicious burnt crust, good quality crumbled sausage and fresh mushrooms. Can not complain about the food, though it seems many here have. To those who complain about the pizza being well done - CAN YOU NOT READ THE SIGNS POSTED EVERYWHERE IN THE RESTAURANT? It was then that I noticed that the restaurant seating area was totally devoid of wait staff. They were all congregated behind the service counter in two small groups, giggling away and in discussion. This wouldn't normally bother me (though it might have bothered the other diners who were waiting for service), but our waitress was doubling as the bartender AND was in her own intense conversation with a guy at the end of the bar. She had placed the check on our table about 5 minutes before, and I immediately put down my credit card. She was much too absorbed in conversation to notice much of anything. After about another 10 minutes I gave my check and credit card to another wait person who happened to finally walk by (and who was none to happy that I violated protocol), and she took it immediately to our waitress/bartender. Finally! But of course her conversation with bar anchor wasn't finished, and we had to wait at least ANOTHER 5 minutes until I finally got the receipt to sign. So, to sum it all up, food top notch, service EXTREMELY spotty.

Honestly going with a large group of friends, we ordered and ate a lot of different pizzas. I am not going to say every Pizza was my favorite because who would believe me.. I can say however, Anthonys pizza is above the rest! Their meatball pizza is my favorite and their wings are truly the most amazing wings. I love wings, however theirs are like a dry rubbed type wings, with this amazing taste. Anthonys is in our top 3 pizza places to eat.
(5)Mike And Nita B.
I really enjoyed it. Fun atmosphere and friendly fun service. Staff actually appeared to enjoy their job! Try the baked wings, very tasty. Pizza was excellent. Very hot oven, thin and crispy crust. If I lived here, I would be a regular.
(5)Audrey R.
Obvious this restaurant is not familiar with GOOD GREAT coal fire pizza. This had to be one of the worst pizza, if that's what you want to call it, I have had. It was a pita bread texture with minimal about of tomatoes. I mean minimal. Cheese harden quickly and I didn't see one piece of basil. Being 100% Italian I had to share my thoughts about this terrible experience. On a positive note, the salad was good.
(1)Kristin B.
This is one of our favorite weekday lunch or dinner spots. The pizzas are pretty good, and I love the meatball plate as an entrée when not in the mood for pizza. Their wings, however, are GREAT. Full of flavor, and they come with focaccia bread and caramelized onions. Can't beat that. They also always have a good selection of beer on tap. Both local and adventurous brews!
(4)Kelly S.
Party of 6, we were seated immediately & sat at our table with no service for 15 minutes. No one asked to get us drinks....NOTHING! Despite the two servers that continuously walked past us several time providing service to the tables around us.
(1)Rudia L.
I was driving thru and missed nyc cooking and we found this place with many star reviews. My first thought was where is everyone as it was around 7pm and we peeked thru the side where there was a awning which only was used in warmer months. The place was packed as we went thru the front door. We ordered a regular salad, meatballs, and a brick oven pizza. It was plenty and it tasted very close to home. The evening ended well but I lost my phone. Someone found it in the parking lot and management was kind enough to take it to the hotel I stayed at the night before. Thank you to the manager, staff, and the kind person who took it to Anthony's.
(4)Sean B.
So I'll say this...I really like pizza. I like pizza about every way that it can be made. But one thing I don't care for is chain pizza establishments. Don't get me wrong, I won't turn it down. But I much more prefer independently owned and operated. However, in the case of Anthony's, this is about as good as a chain gets. We have been here about five times, and have had quality food on a consistent basis. When you first walk into the restaurant there is typically a hostess directly inside that opens the door and greets you. Nice touch. I've never had to wait for a table, but it has always been fairly busy. Start off with the wings. If you've never had the wings before ask the server and they will give you a sampling of two. The wings are wood fired and have a rosemary dry seasoning on them, then topped with caramelized onions. FANTASTIC! As far as pizza, I have tried the margherita, the paul and young ron, and your basic peperoni. I loved them all. They give you balsamic and olive oil, and I suggest dipping your crust in either. YUM! The crust is always just slightly blackened on the edges, which I love. The margherita has no sauce with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. The paul and ron young has peppers, meatballs, sausage, and ricotta. The service has always been friendly and accommodating. They seem to have some good beer, although I've never drank there. The soft drinks and tea comes bottled. So no free refills. But who cares, its a quality product. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the food came out kinda quick. I wanted just a little more time to eat my wings. And this happens because the oven cooks the food quick. So this is just a timing problem. All and all, good food, nice people, a bit pricey, but the product is worth it in my opinion.
(4)David L.
I am not sure why the low stars in the other reviews as this place was great! It is what it is, a really good pizza place with good service. I wish it wasn't so late as I would have loved to try the espresso but maybe next time I am in Pittsburgh. Give it a try...
(5)Andrew K.
The pizza was good, not phenominal, but good. The wings however blew me away. Our server brought us a free sample of them and I was amazed. I will be coming back to make a meal of them soon. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere pleasant. We sat on the patio because it was a beautiful day, but because the patio is right next to the main road in to the plaza, there was a lot of traffic noise. Drinks are the downfall though and the reason I couldn't rate 5-stars. All of the soft drinks (including iced tea) are Coke products in bottles at $2.99 each. No one at our table bought from the bar so I can't comment on that. Overall, a pleasant experience with good food and amazing wings.
(4)Taylor F.
Great Pizza. Nice beer selection. Stopped in just before 10pm Friday night although there was an hour left before they closed, the wait staff seemed less than enthused to seat new customers. The place was practically empty, maybe only 4 other tables had recently been seated. We would have preferred to eat outside on the patio but the hostess didn't ask and we didn't request a change. Wasn't our first time here. Knew the Philly Cheese Steak was our favorite so we had that and a white pizza. It was very good. Food- 4 Service- 1 Ambiance- 3
(3)Nick M.
This is my fav spot in Monroeville to eat. The pizza is great and the salad is awesome. Easy to eat with a group at here.
(4)Amanda S.
Totally underwhelming, on every front. My fiance and I had been wanting to try this place for a while. We live quite close, and drive past every time we go to a movie or to the grocery store. So tonight we finally had a chance to stop in and get some pizza. The first thing I noticed is the attempt at an "upscale atmosphere" pizza joint. I kind of hated it. A nice looking bar, tarnished by a bunch of pizza joint style table seating (four tops mostly, and one long booth that has chairs on the opposite side). Nice decor on the walls, nice music, silverware and quality condiment shakers on the table... But the plastic plates and bottled soda is the opposite of everything this pizza place is trying to be. I personally thought the menu lacked variety. There are only a few selections of "specialty" pizza, and I wasn't really wowed by any of them. Nothing really stood out to me. Sure, you can customize a pizza... at $3/topping on your $18 pizza. First we ordered the wings. I didn't like them at all. They tasted like any old chicken wings baked in the oven with black pepper, rosemary, and the faintest hint of garlic. Kind of bland, except when I got a little spring of rosemary in a bite, and then it would be overpowering. We ended up ordering one pie with half mushroom and pepperoni (can't screw that up), the other half with tomato, mushroom and onion. It was okay. I'd give it a 5/10. The crust was...okay. Nice and crisp, but nothing special. The sauce was barely there, and tasteless. The mushroom and pepperoni were the best part, but isn't that typical of just about any pizza? The tomato and mushroom were fresh, which was great. I absolutely HATE places that use jar/canned mushrooms. So, kudos on that at least. The onions were supposed to be caramelized. They weren't... they were just sauteed, in olive oil I think. Most people probably don't notice the difference though. We also ordered a white pizza, which we added tomato to. Thankfully we did, because, again, it was pretty bland. No garlic, and I had a difficult time tasting the ricotta. It was dry. Again, nothing special. The tomato added a little more moisture and flavor. For the cost, its totally not worth it. We spent over $60 (not including tip)... and for that you get plastic plates and soda served in a plastic bottle. No thanks, I'll stick with the neighborhood pizza places, or the Hop House.
(2)Von R.
I'm not a fan. This is just a personal preference. I'm not into thin crust pizza. The wings where not my favorite either. They did give us a small pizza for free to makeup for the mix up in our choice of toppings. Bottom line, not my preference for pizza nor wings.
(2)Austin P.
I did take out for a large plain pizza, which came to a total of $30 dollars. The quality and the taste of the pizza are mediocre at best, with nothing to show for the extremely high price tag. The take out experience wasn't fantastic, with confusion as to whom was supposed to be checking me out. The staff was rather young and immature, not seeming to take anything seriously.
(1)Money B.
I have been here twice, once for pizza... it was descent but I wasn't blown away by anything. Second time I tried an italian roast beef sandwich, it didn't have a lot of flavor and was a little dry. It was ok.
(3)Dominic R.
Well never got too try the pizza cause waited 20 minutes for someone too wait on me and my wife , they just kept walking around and around and around us , didnt even get drinks , it wasn't even busy , then a table of 8 came in and they took there order asap ..we just got up and left , we had the feeling like , good glad those 2 left , they only want big tables , not 2 or 3 people , guess u cant spend enough too just have 2 too eat there , big waste of time too go too this place ...
(1)Mark B.
The pizza was good. It tasted like I expected. However it is extremely overpriced. I paid $17.99 for a small pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni. I can't believe more reviews don't address this issue. I am not cheap with anything especially food but a simple pizza shouldn't be this much money. I will not be back as there are many places to get a good pizza in this area.
(2)Rachel C.
Not bad for a chain. I think with Il Piazzaiolo and Mercurio's there's really no competition, but for a quick bite in Settlers Ridge, it was a-okay! I ordered the roasted cauliflower pizza. The cauli was roasted to a crisp and I really liked the Parmesan cheese on top. An individual size pizza was plenty for a lunch portion too. I also ordered a Bloody Mary since it was on special (I can't help myself). It wasn't horrible, but kinda boring. The service was incredibly friendly. I just wish they weren't blasting the AC, as I was felt like I needed a parka to eat inside in August. I'll take my pizza parka free, thanks!
(3)James M.
Love the pizza, love the wings, & especially love the ribs. If you come at peak times expect a wait for a table. Parking is usually the worst part.
(5)Susan B.
The food was good, and we love the arugula. Service was good and the bar had a great selection of beers on tap. My only complaint is the cold air draft. The doors open up to the dining room, and several times both doors were held open, blasting the dining room with icy air! Unless you want to be flash-frozen, sit away from the door. In their defense, it's January, but I don't like eating wearing a coat.
(4)Arlene M.
Had dinner here with a girlfriend. Place is small and will crowd easily since it is located near a multiplex theatre complex. We were told the pizza crust would be burnt but it was still tasty. We ordered the eggplant pizza and enjoyed it. I was surprised that a place that charges so much to bring our soft drinks out in bottles. So much for free refills. Staff is friendly and attentive. There are many eateries in this complex so it may be a while before I visit again. It favors the younger crowd
(3)Ozzie Y.
This place is my favorite pizza place. My top picks are Philly Cheese Steak and Meatball and Ricotta... Yummm!!! It probably is little pricier than others but you get quality and unique options. They also have the best wings in Pittsburgh. Marinated in olive oil, herbs and oven roasted. Last but not least great salad/dressing, their homemade red wine vinaigrette is to die for.
(5)Doug L.
Made my first trip to ACFP and I thought our pizza was great [we tried the roasted cauliflower pizza] and so where the wings. I can't really add anything new to the comments already on Yelp about atmosphere...there really is not any to speak of...and the 3 stars are mostly because their prices are too high. You will get however fantastic pizza and wings.
(3)Paul R.
This is a good pizza joint. its kinda odd cause the tables and atmosphere are some what "fast food" feeling, if you order a soda they bring you a 20 oz plastic bottle and a red dinner glass of ice, they have a nice selection of beer ( thankfully in a glass made of glass). the food is great though. the wings are the bomb, the salads good and the pizza very tasty, again plastic cafeteria style plates. Funny, I just think if they did a few upgrades to the overall feel of the place they would get 4 or 5 stars (and if you look at my reviews i don't give many 5 stars). Close your eyes and enjoy the pizza!!
(3)Mike M.
The key word here is well done pizza.. That's what they mean the bottom is not really Brent but is is well done with the darkness and a crisp.. My family and I go here often and I think I have had mostly a lot of whats on the menu and I gotta say haven't found anything that I don't like... From pizza with cauliflower and spinach to ribs with jalapeños to wings that are seasoned to perfection to slices of provolone cheese with tomatoes and herbs atop.. I like it all is all different... I had been talking to the manager after a beer and food tasting/dinner, and we talked about the different meals combinations of foods. He had stated that all the recipes had come from a long line of ancestors.. Food is not only differently good but it is excellent. As long as you get past the well done part.
(5)Rob W.
My wife and I noticed this place the last time we went to Settler's Ridge for a movie and agreed to check it out on our next date night, which was last night. The atmosphere is ok, but nothing special. For a place whose specialty is coal-fired cuisine, I was hoping for something a little more homey. Our waitress was friendly and checked in on us frequently. Also the place was pretty packed, and yet we got our food VERY fast. The service overall was definitely above average. We got an order of the wings, which came with caramelized onions and focaccia bread. No sauce, no spices, just coal-fired chicken wings. Excellent! We hogged them down as fast as we could. The pizza was good. I liked it a little more than my wife did, but even I was hoping for it to be better. We got half with baby meatballs and half with prosciutto. The crust was tasty, and the toppings were good. The cheese and seasonings, though, were a little on the bland side. Again, good, but not as good as I had hoped. If you're at Settler's Ridge and looking for a place to relax and nosh before walking the 40-50 yards, or so, to catch a movie, Anthony's will do the trick. If you're looking for a kick-butt pie that'll make your eyes roll back into your head, go elsewhere. I absolutely recommend their wings, though.
(3)Joe M.
Probably my favorite pizza Pittsburgh (like i have a wealth of comparison from the 13 months i've beeen here!). Nice lunch spot but i recommend sitting at the bar if you want to have a private conversation. Otherwise, the tables are close enough that you can be torn between the interview on your left, the sales lunch on your right and the secret office romance behind you. In that case, i suggest the homemade sangria! Typically people go there for the pizza and i dont blame them. My personal favorite is the meatball and ricotta, although the tomato and basil is also good. Order a lunch salad to round out the day.

The boyfriend and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat on a weekday before catching a movie. I had been wanting to try this place for a while, so we finally did! First off, the hostesses were very unprofessional, laughing and goofing off in front of customers. When we walked in, they were gossiping with one another and I had interrupt them to get seated, even though they clearly saw us come in. We had a nice table off to the side, and got a nice view of the restaurant. The space itself is kind of weird, like one big square room. Not the best ambiance. Boy, was it loud in there! The music was blasting and it was hard for us to hear one another. It was late and I understand it was in the midst of changing from a family restaurant to a bar scene, but still the loudness was a little too much for us. Our server, Nathan, was extremely friendly. He was attentive, quick, and always there when we needed him. Best service I have received in a long time! Tom ordered a craft beer and I got a Diet Coke. They bring the soft drinks out in bottles, which I'm sure saves them money, but I think is rude. No free refills allowed... so I drank very slowly. We ordered a white pizza and split it. The pizza was pretty good with very fresh ingredients, but not good enough for the price. Also, their pizza is "well done" in a coal fired oven, which means that the crust is crispy, burnt, and there is black coal dust all over the bottom of the pizza. Not completely appetizing if you ask me... I will stick to brick ovens and wood-fired! Overall, decent pizza for too much money. Service made up for it. Go for lunch when it's not so loud.

Excellent well done thin crust. I have been to a few locations and the food is consistently excellent.

I have only been to the one in Settlers Ridge. I have been there twice and can't say enough good about it. The pizza, the salad, and the meatballs are great! Short wait, good music, nice bar.
(5)Frank P.
Amazing is the best way to describe this place! The wings and the pizza are simply awesome! The wings are like nothing I've ever had before. They are definitely worth the try! The salad was awesome too!
(5)Sue O.
This is my go to place with my hubby or girlfriends!! Salads are my favorite!! I am Italian and never eat meatballs out but these I can't resist .. Yummy and served with Ricotta cheese:) happy hour is awesome .. Especially Martinis on Wednesday.. I have a favorite bartender can't remember her name but she always remembers what I drink:)
(5)Jeff M.
Nice interior atmosphere for the restaurant although the men's bathroom was a little on the trashy side. Starter salad was very tasty. Cauliflower pizza was a little bland although the regular pizza was top notch. Service was fast and very friendly. Over all a good experience and we would definitely come back.

After taking in a movie at Settler's Ridge on my day off, my 8 year old daughter piped up, "Let's try Anthony's for dinner!" Actually, we've been meaning to try out their coal fired pizza for a while and usually we go to the area for Thai Foon. In the mood for something different, we made the very short walk from Cinemark to Anthony's. The 4 stars in my rating is for the food only. Everything else might be at a 2 or 3. The pizza was just great! We split a large specialty pizza - one half was broccoli rabe and sausage and the other half was meatball and ricotta. The crust was thin and just lightly burnt from the purported coal fire and the toppings were plentiful and delicious. I would say that the topping choices on the specialty pizza offerings are very well thought out and gave us plenty of reason to return to branch out a little and try a couple of other combinations. So, there ends the 4 star portion. On to the rest: - The seating area is very small. This place is deceptively large - when you get in, there is a tiny bar area and only about seating for 50 or so. We had a 20 minute wait and thankfully the food was worth it. - Service was pretty off. For a Monday night, they were so clearly understaffed. So, long waits for simple requests like more water, extra napkins, silverware for our party of 4, and our check. - The restaurant itself is hot. I mean, how could it not be when "coal fired pizza" is in the name? But, better ventilation would make the dine in experience go a lot smoother.

I routinely patronize the original store in Fort Lauderdale and was very happy to see that I could get Anthony's Coal Fired when I am traveling. The location for this particular part of the chain was really good to get them into a market where people might snub their noses up at a new kind of pizza. With the Cinemark Robinson movie theater a 2 minute walk through the parking lot and ample parking, this Anthony's is continually packed. Having been to the original, I figured I would be better writing a review that compares and contrasts the locations based on my order: Pepperoni Pizza Meatballs smaller with less ricotta Chicken Wings The meatballs with ricotta was first to arrive. The meatballs and portion of ricotta served were smaller. The meatballs tasted slightly different. I couldn't quite tell if it was because there was more filler in the meatballs or if due to the fact that they weren't cooked as much. The ricotta didn't have the same rich and full flavor that I am used to getting at Anthony's. The chicken wings were the next items to arrive. The only real difference with the wings is that they are not cooked as much. I really do enjoy the charring on the wings and onions and do wish that these were cooked more. The pizza, while still well-done, was not cooked as much at this location as the other location. My biggest issue with the pizza at the other location was the extent of the burnt crust. At this Anthony's, there is a tad more grace to the cooking in the coal-fired oven. There were really dark brown marks along the crust in places, but no where was the pizza actually burnt. The sauce still had that wonderful peppery tang to it. Overall, I think the two locations are on an even keel and that they can learn from each other to make the food better. This location can take lessons from the Fort Lauderdale location in the preparation of its appetizers. The Fort Lauderdale location can definitely take some lessons on how to make a coal-fired pizza well done without burning it.

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza... I've been to this place several times and am so torn. Every time I've been here I love the food, but hate the price. With that said, they have a unique product so I understand it being a little expensive but in my mind their prices are a little too high. I will say that the wings are unique and so good that I come back again and again, in spite of the price. The Cheesesteak Pizza is melt in your mouth good. I've had several of the other pizzas and really liked them as well. The toppings seem fairly high quality in general. As for the people who have complained about dark crust.... Read the walls, that is sort of their thing! If you order the right things the food is unique and tasty enough that I have to give this place 5 start in spite of the price. I would absolutely bring people from out of town here. I'll just warn you to be prepared to shell out some cash depending on what you order.
(5)Renee M.
I was quite pleased with our lunch here. The waiter was very nice and very quick even with a full house. We were in and out in 45 minutes with a family of 5. The food was good and I would definitely return.

I was pretty disappointed in certain aspects of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. First, this is a tiny, tiny place, I'm guessing seating for around 50, with perhaps another 14 seats at the bar. The pizza kitchen is out in the open with two coal fired ovens glowing orange. Since one Oven is for pizza only and the other for sandwiches, when there are a lot of pizzas being ordered, it can back up, quickly! This was the case Sunday when the gang didn't want to go to our usual spot for playoff football (the Rock Bottom) and opted instead for Anthony's. I kept telling them is was too new still, and on a Sunday afternoon would be ridiculously packed, and I was right. A table was a 45 min wait and we opted to sit at the bar, waiting for couples to leave or have their table called. Finally we were all able to sit at the bar, some customers were nice enough to move to other sections of the bar so we could all sit together. There is only one screen behind the bar and we were off to the side. (right by the front door, which made for a very chilly atmosphere, later four seats opened in the middle of the bar where it was much warmer) First disappointment: only two selections on draft?? Sam Adams and an Italian beer. I chose Sam Adams, no pint glasses here, pilsner glasses only. Extensive wine selection and bottled beer. It was only after I ordered a Sam Adams did I know they had Great Lakes IPA. The bartender never showed us a beer menu. When you order a soft drink, they go to a giant Coke display case like you'd see at Walmart or GetGo. Really? They bring you a bottle of coke or whatever you ordered and a glass of ice. The place is decorated nicely with really nice wood and brick and you have a Coke refrigerator? Lots of sports memorabilia on the walls and of course a signed Dan Marino jersey. Odd seeing Dolphin's pictures and jerseys in a Pittsburgh establishment. The guys decided on pizza, they ordered a large, half white pizza with ricotta, mozzerella, and Romano. The other half was the "Dan Marino" basically a white pizza with sauce and breaded, fried, eggplant. A sign on the wall reads "our pizzas are well done" meaning edges are burnt. For vegetarians they have a roasted cauliflower pizza with cheese, breaded cauliflower, garlic and olive oil. Because they were so crowded, our pizza took almost 35 minutes. The white pizza was ok, I added some parm cheese from the shaker and some hot pepper flakes to give it some flavor. The crust was nothing spectacular, its a thin crust with dark hues from the coal ovens. The guys all mentioned how quickly the pizza cooled as it sat on the bar. To be honest, this pizza wasn't that special, I've had better white pizza at Bado's in Mt Lebanon. This leads me to my second and biggest disappointment. If you bill yourself as a PIZZA restaurant, make sure your pizza is something special! This pie was nothing out of the ordinary. I would much rather have stayed home, with a half tray of Beto's pizza and watched the games in comfort and growlers of beer from The Rock Bottom or River Town. For the sweet thooths, there is only one selection for dessert, and it's cheesecake. This seems to be the new "in" place for the South Hills. It draws an older crowd and families It's noisy, lots of kids, small, crowded and really? ONLY TWO DRAFT BEER SELECTIONS? Really? I was seriously disappointed, the only saving grace was seeing the Packers lose on that sacred hallowed ground.

Hmmm. It's smoking...Coal-fired pizza...sounds good. On the door, on the wall, on the menu...It says " Our Pizza is Well Done. Look around, many pizza's with a somewhat burn crust...many smiling faces. The coal is anthracite so it is clean burning..the oven gets really hot! The decor is nice but mostly windows and a large square room with a long bar and lots of pictures mostly of local sports. A couple of beers on tap, bottle beers, wines and drinks are available. A simple menu of pizza, salads, chicken wings and a couple of sandwiches. Had the coal-fired chicken wings which come out crisp with caramelized onions. The onions were gooood but the wings were lacking flavor except for a little char flavor and a little salty tasting. The pizza was good with a burnt taste which gave it a subtle flavor of charcoal...not overly burnt. The crust is thin as you would expect for a fired oven pizza. Had Italian sausage as a topping and it was kind of sweet..was hoping for a spicier flavor. The hostess and waitress where very friendly and helpful.
(3)David C.
Pizza not bad, will probably return. We received a sample of free wings, which were okay, but nothing great. The pizza crust is borderline burnt (if not)- but like someone else said.... there's lots of signs saying that the pizza is well done. If you haven't gone yet, give it a try.
(3)Jim B.
Pizza is excellent, don't even like wings but their wings are unbelievable. It is a bit pricey but well worth it I think. Been there about 8 times never a bad meal.
(5)Don A.
Great pizza and wings with some hard to beat beer specials. there pizza is a close as you can get to a pie in italy that I have come across in the burgh. wings are also done in the coal oven and covered in caramelized onions. great job guys!
(4)Matt S.
I thought the pizza was pretty good. The crust was super thin and I don't know a lot of places around here that do it like that. It was also a little burnt and I see that mentioned in a few other reviews so hopefully they will work that out soon. There are definitely way better take out pizza places in Robinson, but if you are at Settler's Ridge looking for a fancy looking place to eat pizza, this will do the trick.
(3)Keri K.
The smell alone lured my man and me up in here. ahhh the smell of pizza. We came on a Fri night around 6:30pm and the place was packed with people waiting outside in the dead of winter to get a table. Now, I love me some good pizza but I'm not sure I'd stand outside waiting for a table in 9 degree weater. We worked our way to the bar for a drink. I ordered cabernet and he ordered a cocktail. We knew this would warm us up. We were told the table wait would be 35 minutes. NOPE- they called us in about 10 minutes. We ordered a large pizza with pepporoni, sweet peppers, and mushrooms. The pizza was delicious, crisy edges with heat bubbles crispy and black from the coal oven. So good! The table next to us ordered a meatball and ricotta pizza. I wanted to try some- next time, right? Highly recommended! It's not the typical burgh pizza - this place is special. Great atmosphere.
(4)Mishelle B.
We order from here all the time. I love the fact they do half and half pizzas so we both are Happy. The broccoli rab is delicious. The rosemary wings are to die for. We even used their catering before. They serve way to much for but it was delicious. Several people who joined us that night now come here regularly.
(4)Mary W.
Just ordered take out for lunch at the office and I was definately impressed. We ordered the Eggplant Marino and I am wishing there was more. It's not your typical pizza and that's not a bad thing. The crust looks like it's burnt, but it isn't. The Eggplant Marino had eggplant with marinara sauce and romano cheese. It was definatley impressive. They have a nice outdoor seating area that I will definately have to check out. The staff was also very friendly and courteous. I will definately be back.
(4)Adam E.
Not to shabby, high quality ingredients. Two friends and I decided to visit Anthonys for our first taste of coal oven pizza. We each ordered one beer and selected a speciality pizza that had meatballs, ricotta and roasted green chilies and another wih pep and prosciutto as well as a order of 20 roasted wings.( $90 with tip) The wings were done fast and served with a day old taste. (my only bitch) The roasted chili and ricotta and meatball pie was to die for. Our second pie was great too, the prosciutto was topped after the oven. I know why, but I prefer it cooked a litle bit. Next time I'll ask for them to put it on halfway done. This is one of those places you want to be the first to introduce your friends too.

When I first heard "coal fired pizza," I imagined the sooty skies of old Pittsburgh and workers wiping their blackened brows- surely an oven powered by coal will also be sooty and smelly, right? As I understand it, coal is used to super heat the ovens at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza to make their distinct taste, and it works. The mix of delicious recipes and coal oven cooking make Anthony's some of the best pizza I've ever had in Pittsburgh, or anywhere else. I started off with coal fired wings- these wings are flavored and baked in the coal oven, giving them a crisp, roasted flavor, and then smothered in cooked onions and focaccia bread. The wings are plump and juicy, and I think the onions could be put on the menu by themselves- try putting the onions on the focaccia bread and you'll agree these are a party in your mouth. Next up, we tried the gorgonzola salad, which has tasty greens, iceberg lettuce, onions, chick peas, hard-boiled eggs, and a healthy slathering of oil based dressing. If you like your salad soaked in dressing, you'll love this one, and the chick peas make a nice addition to this yummy salad. However, the pizza is what we came here for, and I wasn't disappointed. I tried the sauceless Mozzarella, Sliced Tomato, and Basil pizza, which had very fresh ingredients, and the crust has a nice crispiness without being dry. Next up, I had to try the meatball ricotta pizza, which is made with their signature parmesan meatballs. This pizza should be outlawed it is so good. The juicy meatballs have a distinct parmesan and basil flavor, the sauce has a mellow tomato flavor without being too acidic, and the ricotta and mozzarella cheese were painted on thick, Plus, the crust was crunchy without being dry, again thanks to the coal fired oven. I'm going back soon to try some of their coal fired sandwiches for lunch, which sound awesome, as well as a calzone that I saw another table order that was so big I could have used as a sleeping bag. Check out this delicious pizza restaurant that has a warm interior. You might notice the Dan Marino pictures everywhere- that's because he is part owner of the South Florida chain, which brings a nice Pittsburgh connection to the restaurant. Also, make sure you say hi to General Manager John Mowod, who took the time to stop at our table to say hi- he's running a great staff that despite the restaurant just opening, ran the place like a well oiled-machine-- or a well fired coal oven.
(5)Lisa P.
I've had this pizza twice and it's not bad. It's nothing to rave about and it's not great. And please stop complaining about burnt crust the sign is right under the name of the restaurant and right inside the door and all over the boxes and every where else. that says our pizza is well done. So it clearly warns you.. I think its over priced. I would rather have Betos or Fioris. This is a restaurant not a pizza joint and they only serve bottled soft drinks and only have 2 beers on tap. It's ok
(3)Susan B.
The food was good, and we love the arugula. Service was good and the bar had a great selection of beers on tap. My only complaint is the cold air draft. The doors open up to the dining room, and several times both doors were held open, blasting the dining room with icy air! Unless you want to be flash-frozen, sit away from the door. In their defense, it's January, but I don't like eating wearing a coat.
(4)Sean B.
So I'll say this...I really like pizza. I like pizza about every way that it can be made. But one thing I don't care for is chain pizza establishments. Don't get me wrong, I won't turn it down. But I much more prefer independently owned and operated. However, in the case of Anthony's, this is about as good as a chain gets. We have been here about five times, and have had quality food on a consistent basis. When you first walk into the restaurant there is typically a hostess directly inside that opens the door and greets you. Nice touch. I've never had to wait for a table, but it has always been fairly busy. Start off with the wings. If you've never had the wings before ask the server and they will give you a sampling of two. The wings are wood fired and have a rosemary dry seasoning on them, then topped with caramelized onions. FANTASTIC! As far as pizza, I have tried the margherita, the paul and young ron, and your basic peperoni. I loved them all. They give you balsamic and olive oil, and I suggest dipping your crust in either. YUM! The crust is always just slightly blackened on the edges, which I love. The margherita has no sauce with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. The paul and ron young has peppers, meatballs, sausage, and ricotta. The service has always been friendly and accommodating. They seem to have some good beer, although I've never drank there. The soft drinks and tea comes bottled. So no free refills. But who cares, its a quality product. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the food came out kinda quick. I wanted just a little more time to eat my wings. And this happens because the oven cooks the food quick. So this is just a timing problem. All and all, good food, nice people, a bit pricey, but the product is worth it in my opinion.
(4)David L.
I am not sure why the low stars in the other reviews as this place was great! It is what it is, a really good pizza place with good service. I wish it wasn't so late as I would have loved to try the espresso but maybe next time I am in Pittsburgh. Give it a try...
(5)Nick M.
This is my fav spot in Monroeville to eat. The pizza is great and the salad is awesome. Easy to eat with a group at here.
(4)Mark B.
The pizza was good. It tasted like I expected. However it is extremely overpriced. I paid $17.99 for a small pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni. I can't believe more reviews don't address this issue. I am not cheap with anything especially food but a simple pizza shouldn't be this much money. I will not be back as there are many places to get a good pizza in this area.
(2)Chastity E.
We went here for happy hour, the bartender was super friendly and attentive. The beer was expensive, 6.50-7ish. I live in the city and see beer cheaper. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, it was good for the most part! The taste of the coal fire is amazing but for a 20 dollar large pizza, it could of used more sauce and cheese. A little too expensive for what it actually is. It was overall a good experience.
(3)Cyndi B.
We got there at 5:50 pm on a Saturday night-place was full. We were told it would be a 25 minute wait, it was a half hour. We were able to grab some space at the bar so the wait wasn't bad. It also gave us an opportunity to check out the different dishes coming from the kitchen on the way to the waiting patrons. We had two pizzas, wings and ribs between two couples, the food was delicious:) although a bit pricey. The atmosphere was loud, crowded and filled with delicious smells, yet we were able to talk amongst ourselves and be heard without difficulty. All in all a good time.
(4)Kristin B.
This is one of our favorite weekday lunch or dinner spots. The pizzas are pretty good, and I love the meatball plate as an entrée when not in the mood for pizza. Their wings, however, are GREAT. Full of flavor, and they come with focaccia bread and caramelized onions. Can't beat that. They also always have a good selection of beer on tap. Both local and adventurous brews!
(4)Mike And Nita B.
I really enjoyed it. Fun atmosphere and friendly fun service. Staff actually appeared to enjoy their job! Try the baked wings, very tasty. Pizza was excellent. Very hot oven, thin and crispy crust. If I lived here, I would be a regular.
(5)Audrey R.
Obvious this restaurant is not familiar with GOOD GREAT coal fire pizza. This had to be one of the worst pizza, if that's what you want to call it, I have had. It was a pita bread texture with minimal about of tomatoes. I mean minimal. Cheese harden quickly and I didn't see one piece of basil. Being 100% Italian I had to share my thoughts about this terrible experience. On a positive note, the salad was good.
(1)Andrew K.
The pizza was good, not phenominal, but good. The wings however blew me away. Our server brought us a free sample of them and I was amazed. I will be coming back to make a meal of them soon. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere pleasant. We sat on the patio because it was a beautiful day, but because the patio is right next to the main road in to the plaza, there was a lot of traffic noise. Drinks are the downfall though and the reason I couldn't rate 5-stars. All of the soft drinks (including iced tea) are Coke products in bottles at $2.99 each. No one at our table bought from the bar so I can't comment on that. Overall, a pleasant experience with good food and amazing wings.
(4)Taylor F.
Great Pizza. Nice beer selection. Stopped in just before 10pm Friday night although there was an hour left before they closed, the wait staff seemed less than enthused to seat new customers. The place was practically empty, maybe only 4 other tables had recently been seated. We would have preferred to eat outside on the patio but the hostess didn't ask and we didn't request a change. Wasn't our first time here. Knew the Philly Cheese Steak was our favorite so we had that and a white pizza. It was very good. Food- 4 Service- 1 Ambiance- 3
(3)Von R.
I'm not a fan. This is just a personal preference. I'm not into thin crust pizza. The wings where not my favorite either. They did give us a small pizza for free to makeup for the mix up in our choice of toppings. Bottom line, not my preference for pizza nor wings.
(2)Money B.
I have been here twice, once for pizza... it was descent but I wasn't blown away by anything. Second time I tried an italian roast beef sandwich, it didn't have a lot of flavor and was a little dry. It was ok.
(3)Scott A.
The pizza is pretty good. The wings were very good. Service was good. I think it is a little over priced. Didnt like that pop comes in a plastice bottle $2.99 each.
(3)Amanda S.
Totally underwhelming, on every front. My fiance and I had been wanting to try this place for a while. We live quite close, and drive past every time we go to a movie or to the grocery store. So tonight we finally had a chance to stop in and get some pizza. The first thing I noticed is the attempt at an "upscale atmosphere" pizza joint. I kind of hated it. A nice looking bar, tarnished by a bunch of pizza joint style table seating (four tops mostly, and one long booth that has chairs on the opposite side). Nice decor on the walls, nice music, silverware and quality condiment shakers on the table... But the plastic plates and bottled soda is the opposite of everything this pizza place is trying to be. I personally thought the menu lacked variety. There are only a few selections of "specialty" pizza, and I wasn't really wowed by any of them. Nothing really stood out to me. Sure, you can customize a pizza... at $3/topping on your $18 pizza. First we ordered the wings. I didn't like them at all. They tasted like any old chicken wings baked in the oven with black pepper, rosemary, and the faintest hint of garlic. Kind of bland, except when I got a little spring of rosemary in a bite, and then it would be overpowering. We ended up ordering one pie with half mushroom and pepperoni (can't screw that up), the other half with tomato, mushroom and onion. It was okay. I'd give it a 5/10. The crust was...okay. Nice and crisp, but nothing special. The sauce was barely there, and tasteless. The mushroom and pepperoni were the best part, but isn't that typical of just about any pizza? The tomato and mushroom were fresh, which was great. I absolutely HATE places that use jar/canned mushrooms. So, kudos on that at least. The onions were supposed to be caramelized. They weren't... they were just sauteed, in olive oil I think. Most people probably don't notice the difference though. We also ordered a white pizza, which we added tomato to. Thankfully we did, because, again, it was pretty bland. No garlic, and I had a difficult time tasting the ricotta. It was dry. Again, nothing special. The tomato added a little more moisture and flavor. For the cost, its totally not worth it. We spent over $60 (not including tip)... and for that you get plastic plates and soda served in a plastic bottle. No thanks, I'll stick with the neighborhood pizza places, or the Hop House.
(2)Rachel C.
Not bad for a chain. I think with Il Piazzaiolo and Mercurio's there's really no competition, but for a quick bite in Settlers Ridge, it was a-okay! I ordered the roasted cauliflower pizza. The cauli was roasted to a crisp and I really liked the Parmesan cheese on top. An individual size pizza was plenty for a lunch portion too. I also ordered a Bloody Mary since it was on special (I can't help myself). It wasn't horrible, but kinda boring. The service was incredibly friendly. I just wish they weren't blasting the AC, as I was felt like I needed a parka to eat inside in August. I'll take my pizza parka free, thanks!
(3)Wascally W.
This is a review where the stars are based solely on the service. I've been here several times in the past, and though I'm a NYC pizza kind of guy, something about the burnt thin crust, sauce and toppings really appeal to me. I took an out of town guest here Wednesday night. We were seated almost immediately. We ordered a large pizza with mushrooms and sausage, a small order of meatballs and ricotta, and a couple of iced teas. I still don't get the "only bottled soft drinks here" thing. Why no fountain drinks - you have beer taps? C'mon. Anyway, there was a couple with a small child seated on the other side of the restaurant from us and the little Beelzabub had a scream somewhere between Jamie Lee Curtis and nails on chalkboard. And it was near constant. The parents just talked and laughed, and would give the kids things to play with, which she would immediately deposit on the floor. I didn't want to complain to them or the wait staff, but you'd think they would say something to the couple. Or that the couple would, heaven forbid, parent. But it went on for a bit, disturbing everyone in the restaurant. Such is life I guess - finally they left of their own accord. I'm all for family friendly, but doesn't a Tazmanian Devil fall under the category of pets? First our meatballs arrived, and they were delicious, with a small dollop of ricotta and sauce. Then our pizza came, with the same delicious burnt crust, good quality crumbled sausage and fresh mushrooms. Can not complain about the food, though it seems many here have. To those who complain about the pizza being well done - CAN YOU NOT READ THE SIGNS POSTED EVERYWHERE IN THE RESTAURANT? It was then that I noticed that the restaurant seating area was totally devoid of wait staff. They were all congregated behind the service counter in two small groups, giggling away and in discussion. This wouldn't normally bother me (though it might have bothered the other diners who were waiting for service), but our waitress was doubling as the bartender AND was in her own intense conversation with a guy at the end of the bar. She had placed the check on our table about 5 minutes before, and I immediately put down my credit card. She was much too absorbed in conversation to notice much of anything. After about another 10 minutes I gave my check and credit card to another wait person who happened to finally walk by (and who was none to happy that I violated protocol), and she took it immediately to our waitress/bartender. Finally! But of course her conversation with bar anchor wasn't finished, and we had to wait at least ANOTHER 5 minutes until I finally got the receipt to sign. So, to sum it all up, food top notch, service EXTREMELY spotty.
(2)Austin P.
I did take out for a large plain pizza, which came to a total of $30 dollars. The quality and the taste of the pizza are mediocre at best, with nothing to show for the extremely high price tag. The take out experience wasn't fantastic, with confusion as to whom was supposed to be checking me out. The staff was rather young and immature, not seeming to take anything seriously.
(1)Rudia L.
I was driving thru and missed nyc cooking and we found this place with many star reviews. My first thought was where is everyone as it was around 7pm and we peeked thru the side where there was a awning which only was used in warmer months. The place was packed as we went thru the front door. We ordered a regular salad, meatballs, and a brick oven pizza. It was plenty and it tasted very close to home. The evening ended well but I lost my phone. Someone found it in the parking lot and management was kind enough to take it to the hotel I stayed at the night before. Thank you to the manager, staff, and the kind person who took it to Anthony's.

Honestly going with a large group of friends, we ordered and ate a lot of different pizzas. I am not going to say every Pizza was my favorite because who would believe me.. I can say however, Anthonys pizza is above the rest! Their meatball pizza is my favorite and their wings are truly the most amazing wings. I love wings, however theirs are like a dry rubbed type wings, with this amazing taste. Anthonys is in our top 3 pizza places to eat.

Had dinner here with a girlfriend. Place is small and will crowd easily since it is located near a multiplex theatre complex. We were told the pizza crust would be burnt but it was still tasty. We ordered the eggplant pizza and enjoyed it. I was surprised that a place that charges so much to bring our soft drinks out in bottles. So much for free refills. Staff is friendly and attentive. There are many eateries in this complex so it may be a while before I visit again. It favors the younger crowd

My boyfriend and I came to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza after a terrible experience at Cadillac ranch-which resulted in only one of us getting a drink(mine was "forgotten" about as they changed the tap) and no food. So we were rather hungry at this point and made our way to Anthony's about 30 minutes before they closed.To start, their drinks are insanely expensive for a quick bite after a movie-which was all this was supposed to be. However, my frustration from Cadillac got the best of me and I settled on a glass of wine-for $11.00. My boyfriend got a Yuengling which was considerably more reasonably priced.After reviewing the menu, we decided we wanted to make a pizza with prosciutto, mushrooms, and olives. Unfortunately, after ordering our server-who was incredibly warm,helpful, and attentive -came back and told us they were out of the prosciutto so we settled for pepperoni. The pizza, of course, was "well done" around the edges, however, the center was considerably underdone. The flavors were great and the pizza would have been excellent had it not been for the undercooked center. Overall, we will probably not be back-we had a total of 3 drinks (1 glass of wine,2 yuenglings) and the pizza and our bill was pushing $60.00 which is more than we had originally expected to spend for a quick bite to eat after a movie.And, as I said before, the pizza, although the flavors were good was undercooked in the center-which did not ruin the pizza entirely but came close to it. I do not feel the need to revisit this establishment.

Atmosphere: The restaurant is an open space with hard surfaces. The hard surface net effect makes the place loud. I was with an older woman (mid-70's) who had a very hard time hearing the conversation. Food: My party was observing lent. We ordered the Egg Plant appetizer, Sweet Pepper Pizza, and the Cheese Calzone. Each had decent flavor but nothing to take it to the next level of other wood or coal fire pizzerias I have visited. Please note that the pizza are "well done" which I prefer (crust must pass the stand test - ie. No floppy slices). The oils from the cheese still made my pizza soggy. Service: Our service was great. The waitress was very attentive and kept our refreshments filled. Price: Pretty Expensive - You are not at ... Pick your Chain here... Overall - I really don't think I will go out of my way to visit this place but if it is convenient or other folks want to go then I will give it another try.

Love the pizza, love the wings, & especially love the ribs. If you come at peak times expect a wait for a table. Parking is usually the worst part.
(5)Mike And Nita B.
I really enjoyed it. Fun atmosphere and friendly fun service. Staff actually appeared to enjoy their job! Try the baked wings, very tasty. Pizza was excellent. Very hot oven, thin and crispy crust. If I lived here, I would be a regular.

I have been here twice, once for pizza... it was descent but I wasn't blown away by anything. Second time I tried an italian roast beef sandwich, it didn't have a lot of flavor and was a little dry. It was ok.

I was driving thru and missed nyc cooking and we found this place with many star reviews. My first thought was where is everyone as it was around 7pm and we peeked thru the side where there was a awning which only was used in warmer months. The place was packed as we went thru the front door. We ordered a regular salad, meatballs, and a brick oven pizza. It was plenty and it tasted very close to home. The evening ended well but I lost my phone. Someone found it in the parking lot and management was kind enough to take it to the hotel I stayed at the night before. Thank you to the manager, staff, and the kind person who took it to Anthony's.

Totally underwhelming, on every front. My fiance and I had been wanting to try this place for a while. We live quite close, and drive past every time we go to a movie or to the grocery store. So tonight we finally had a chance to stop in and get some pizza. The first thing I noticed is the attempt at an "upscale atmosphere" pizza joint. I kind of hated it. A nice looking bar, tarnished by a bunch of pizza joint style table seating (four tops mostly, and one long booth that has chairs on the opposite side). Nice decor on the walls, nice music, silverware and quality condiment shakers on the table... But the plastic plates and bottled soda is the opposite of everything this pizza place is trying to be. I personally thought the menu lacked variety. There are only a few selections of "specialty" pizza, and I wasn't really wowed by any of them. Nothing really stood out to me. Sure, you can customize a pizza... at $3/topping on your $18 pizza. First we ordered the wings. I didn't like them at all. They tasted like any old chicken wings baked in the oven with black pepper, rosemary, and the faintest hint of garlic. Kind of bland, except when I got a little spring of rosemary in a bite, and then it would be overpowering. We ended up ordering one pie with half mushroom and pepperoni (can't screw that up), the other half with tomato, mushroom and onion. It was okay. I'd give it a 5/10. The crust was...okay. Nice and crisp, but nothing special. The sauce was barely there, and tasteless. The mushroom and pepperoni were the best part, but isn't that typical of just about any pizza? The tomato and mushroom were fresh, which was great. I absolutely HATE places that use jar/canned mushrooms. So, kudos on that at least. The onions were supposed to be caramelized. They weren't... they were just sauteed, in olive oil I think. Most people probably don't notice the difference though. We also ordered a white pizza, which we added tomato to. Thankfully we did, because, again, it was pretty bland. No garlic, and I had a difficult time tasting the ricotta. It was dry. Again, nothing special. The tomato added a little more moisture and flavor. For the cost, its totally not worth it. We spent over $60 (not including tip)... and for that you get plastic plates and soda served in a plastic bottle. No thanks, I'll stick with the neighborhood pizza places, or the Hop House.
(2)Mark B.
The pizza was good. It tasted like I expected. However it is extremely overpriced. I paid $17.99 for a small pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni. I can't believe more reviews don't address this issue. I am not cheap with anything especially food but a simple pizza shouldn't be this much money. I will not be back as there are many places to get a good pizza in this area.
(2)Chastity E.
We went here for happy hour, the bartender was super friendly and attentive. The beer was expensive, 6.50-7ish. I live in the city and see beer cheaper. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, it was good for the most part! The taste of the coal fire is amazing but for a 20 dollar large pizza, it could of used more sauce and cheese. A little too expensive for what it actually is. It was overall a good experience.
(3)Sean B.
So I'll say this...I really like pizza. I like pizza about every way that it can be made. But one thing I don't care for is chain pizza establishments. Don't get me wrong, I won't turn it down. But I much more prefer independently owned and operated. However, in the case of Anthony's, this is about as good as a chain gets. We have been here about five times, and have had quality food on a consistent basis. When you first walk into the restaurant there is typically a hostess directly inside that opens the door and greets you. Nice touch. I've never had to wait for a table, but it has always been fairly busy. Start off with the wings. If you've never had the wings before ask the server and they will give you a sampling of two. The wings are wood fired and have a rosemary dry seasoning on them, then topped with caramelized onions. FANTASTIC! As far as pizza, I have tried the margherita, the paul and young ron, and your basic peperoni. I loved them all. They give you balsamic and olive oil, and I suggest dipping your crust in either. YUM! The crust is always just slightly blackened on the edges, which I love. The margherita has no sauce with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. The paul and ron young has peppers, meatballs, sausage, and ricotta. The service has always been friendly and accommodating. They seem to have some good beer, although I've never drank there. The soft drinks and tea comes bottled. So no free refills. But who cares, its a quality product. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the food came out kinda quick. I wanted just a little more time to eat my wings. And this happens because the oven cooks the food quick. So this is just a timing problem. All and all, good food, nice people, a bit pricey, but the product is worth it in my opinion.
(4)David L.
I am not sure why the low stars in the other reviews as this place was great! It is what it is, a really good pizza place with good service. I wish it wasn't so late as I would have loved to try the espresso but maybe next time I am in Pittsburgh. Give it a try...
(5)Nick M.
This is my fav spot in Monroeville to eat. The pizza is great and the salad is awesome. Easy to eat with a group at here.

Only dealt with the bartenders so I can't speak much on the full service. All I can say is the bartenders are good at their job. I usually just order a pizza and a beer. Specialty pizzas here have not intrigued me. I tend to get a cheese or pepperoni pizza. I enjoy the thin crust on their pizzas. Most places around here only do a thick traditional crust. They have a slightly better beer selection than most places around. On the weekends it is packed. This is a hot spot on the weekends.
(3)Rebecca G.
The pizza is good, but I don't really get the burnt crust thing. Whatever... I mean, there was nothing bad or wrong with the pizza, but it was kind of bland. We got the arugula and added hot peppers. The sauce was uneven and tasteless. Peppers were super hot. Just not great.
(3)Wascally W.
This is a review where the stars are based solely on the service. I've been here several times in the past, and though I'm a NYC pizza kind of guy, something about the burnt thin crust, sauce and toppings really appeal to me. I took an out of town guest here Wednesday night. We were seated almost immediately. We ordered a large pizza with mushrooms and sausage, a small order of meatballs and ricotta, and a couple of iced teas. I still don't get the "only bottled soft drinks here" thing. Why no fountain drinks - you have beer taps? C'mon. Anyway, there was a couple with a small child seated on the other side of the restaurant from us and the little Beelzabub had a scream somewhere between Jamie Lee Curtis and nails on chalkboard. And it was near constant. The parents just talked and laughed, and would give the kids things to play with, which she would immediately deposit on the floor. I didn't want to complain to them or the wait staff, but you'd think they would say something to the couple. Or that the couple would, heaven forbid, parent. But it went on for a bit, disturbing everyone in the restaurant. Such is life I guess - finally they left of their own accord. I'm all for family friendly, but doesn't a Tazmanian Devil fall under the category of pets? First our meatballs arrived, and they were delicious, with a small dollop of ricotta and sauce. Then our pizza came, with the same delicious burnt crust, good quality crumbled sausage and fresh mushrooms. Can not complain about the food, though it seems many here have. To those who complain about the pizza being well done - CAN YOU NOT READ THE SIGNS POSTED EVERYWHERE IN THE RESTAURANT? It was then that I noticed that the restaurant seating area was totally devoid of wait staff. They were all congregated behind the service counter in two small groups, giggling away and in discussion. This wouldn't normally bother me (though it might have bothered the other diners who were waiting for service), but our waitress was doubling as the bartender AND was in her own intense conversation with a guy at the end of the bar. She had placed the check on our table about 5 minutes before, and I immediately put down my credit card. She was much too absorbed in conversation to notice much of anything. After about another 10 minutes I gave my check and credit card to another wait person who happened to finally walk by (and who was none to happy that I violated protocol), and she took it immediately to our waitress/bartender. Finally! But of course her conversation with bar anchor wasn't finished, and we had to wait at least ANOTHER 5 minutes until I finally got the receipt to sign. So, to sum it all up, food top notch, service EXTREMELY spotty.

The boyfriend and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat on a weekday before catching a movie. I had been wanting to try this place for a while, so we finally did! First off, the hostesses were very unprofessional, laughing and goofing off in front of customers. When we walked in, they were gossiping with one another and I had interrupt them to get seated, even though they clearly saw us come in. We had a nice table off to the side, and got a nice view of the restaurant. The space itself is kind of weird, like one big square room. Not the best ambiance. Boy, was it loud in there! The music was blasting and it was hard for us to hear one another. It was late and I understand it was in the midst of changing from a family restaurant to a bar scene, but still the loudness was a little too much for us. Our server, Nathan, was extremely friendly. He was attentive, quick, and always there when we needed him. Best service I have received in a long time! Tom ordered a craft beer and I got a Diet Coke. They bring the soft drinks out in bottles, which I'm sure saves them money, but I think is rude. No free refills allowed... so I drank very slowly. We ordered a white pizza and split it. The pizza was pretty good with very fresh ingredients, but not good enough for the price. Also, their pizza is "well done" in a coal fired oven, which means that the crust is crispy, burnt, and there is black coal dust all over the bottom of the pizza. Not completely appetizing if you ask me... I will stick to brick ovens and wood-fired! Overall, decent pizza for too much money. Service made up for it. Go for lunch when it's not so loud.

Excellent well done thin crust. I have been to a few locations and the food is consistently excellent.

I have only been to the one in Settlers Ridge. I have been there twice and can't say enough good about it. The pizza, the salad, and the meatballs are great! Short wait, good music, nice bar.
(5)Frank P.
Amazing is the best way to describe this place! The wings and the pizza are simply awesome! The wings are like nothing I've ever had before. They are definitely worth the try! The salad was awesome too!
(5)Sue O.
This is my go to place with my hubby or girlfriends!! Salads are my favorite!! I am Italian and never eat meatballs out but these I can't resist .. Yummy and served with Ricotta cheese:) happy hour is awesome .. Especially Martinis on Wednesday.. I have a favorite bartender can't remember her name but she always remembers what I drink:)

After taking in a movie at Settler's Ridge on my day off, my 8 year old daughter piped up, "Let's try Anthony's for dinner!" Actually, we've been meaning to try out their coal fired pizza for a while and usually we go to the area for Thai Foon. In the mood for something different, we made the very short walk from Cinemark to Anthony's. The 4 stars in my rating is for the food only. Everything else might be at a 2 or 3. The pizza was just great! We split a large specialty pizza - one half was broccoli rabe and sausage and the other half was meatball and ricotta. The crust was thin and just lightly burnt from the purported coal fire and the toppings were plentiful and delicious. I would say that the topping choices on the specialty pizza offerings are very well thought out and gave us plenty of reason to return to branch out a little and try a couple of other combinations. So, there ends the 4 star portion. On to the rest: - The seating area is very small. This place is deceptively large - when you get in, there is a tiny bar area and only about seating for 50 or so. We had a 20 minute wait and thankfully the food was worth it. - Service was pretty off. For a Monday night, they were so clearly understaffed. So, long waits for simple requests like more water, extra napkins, silverware for our party of 4, and our check. - The restaurant itself is hot. I mean, how could it not be when "coal fired pizza" is in the name? But, better ventilation would make the dine in experience go a lot smoother.

I was quite pleased with our lunch here. The waiter was very nice and very quick even with a full house. We were in and out in 45 minutes with a family of 5. The food was good and I would definitely return.

I routinely patronize the original store in Fort Lauderdale and was very happy to see that I could get Anthony's Coal Fired when I am traveling. The location for this particular part of the chain was really good to get them into a market where people might snub their noses up at a new kind of pizza. With the Cinemark Robinson movie theater a 2 minute walk through the parking lot and ample parking, this Anthony's is continually packed. Having been to the original, I figured I would be better writing a review that compares and contrasts the locations based on my order: Pepperoni Pizza Meatballs smaller with less ricotta Chicken Wings The meatballs with ricotta was first to arrive. The meatballs and portion of ricotta served were smaller. The meatballs tasted slightly different. I couldn't quite tell if it was because there was more filler in the meatballs or if due to the fact that they weren't cooked as much. The ricotta didn't have the same rich and full flavor that I am used to getting at Anthony's. The chicken wings were the next items to arrive. The only real difference with the wings is that they are not cooked as much. I really do enjoy the charring on the wings and onions and do wish that these were cooked more. The pizza, while still well-done, was not cooked as much at this location as the other location. My biggest issue with the pizza at the other location was the extent of the burnt crust. At this Anthony's, there is a tad more grace to the cooking in the coal-fired oven. There were really dark brown marks along the crust in places, but no where was the pizza actually burnt. The sauce still had that wonderful peppery tang to it. Overall, I think the two locations are on an even keel and that they can learn from each other to make the food better. This location can take lessons from the Fort Lauderdale location in the preparation of its appetizers. The Fort Lauderdale location can definitely take some lessons on how to make a coal-fired pizza well done without burning it.
(4)Jeff M.
Nice interior atmosphere for the restaurant although the men's bathroom was a little on the trashy side. Starter salad was very tasty. Cauliflower pizza was a little bland although the regular pizza was top notch. Service was fast and very friendly. Over all a good experience and we would definitely come back.
(4)Ozzie Y.
This place is my favorite pizza place. My top picks are Philly Cheese Steak and Meatball and Ricotta... Yummm!!! It probably is little pricier than others but you get quality and unique options. They also have the best wings in Pittsburgh. Marinated in olive oil, herbs and oven roasted. Last but not least great salad/dressing, their homemade red wine vinaigrette is to die for.
(5)Tom A.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza... I've been to this place several times and am so torn. Every time I've been here I love the food, but hate the price. With that said, they have a unique product so I understand it being a little expensive but in my mind their prices are a little too high. I will say that the wings are unique and so good that I come back again and again, in spite of the price. The Cheesesteak Pizza is melt in your mouth good. I've had several of the other pizzas and really liked them as well. The toppings seem fairly high quality in general. As for the people who have complained about dark crust.... Read the walls, that is sort of their thing! If you order the right things the food is unique and tasty enough that I have to give this place 5 start in spite of the price. I would absolutely bring people from out of town here. I'll just warn you to be prepared to shell out some cash depending on what you order.
(5)Roxy E.
Pizza topped with mushrooms and pepperoni! Mmmm. They warn you about the pizza being "well-done" like it's a BAD thing. I think the blackened (yet soft and chewy/crispy) crust was my favorite part!! This pizza is BOSS. If you're picky about your pizza, just go to Anthony's. They won't let you down. The service is GREAT. Crystal was our waitress, big ups to Crystal! She was busy, yet attentive. This place... Oh, and the atmosphere! We came with a party of four and had to wait to be seated along with a handful of other parties. The place was PACKED. GOOD SIGN, PEOPLE!! Overall, nice atmosphere. Delicious pizza. Done.
(5)Mike M.
The key word here is well done pizza.. That's what they mean the bottom is not really Brent but is is well done with the darkness and a crisp.. My family and I go here often and I think I have had mostly a lot of whats on the menu and I gotta say haven't found anything that I don't like... From pizza with cauliflower and spinach to ribs with jalapeños to wings that are seasoned to perfection to slices of provolone cheese with tomatoes and herbs atop.. I like it all is all different... I had been talking to the manager after a beer and food tasting/dinner, and we talked about the different meals combinations of foods. He had stated that all the recipes had come from a long line of ancestors.. Food is not only differently good but it is excellent. As long as you get past the well done part.
(5)Doug L.
Made my first trip to ACFP and I thought our pizza was great [we tried the roasted cauliflower pizza] and so where the wings. I can't really add anything new to the comments already on Yelp about atmosphere...there really is not any to speak of...and the 3 stars are mostly because their prices are too high. You will get however fantastic pizza and wings.
(3)Rob W.
My wife and I noticed this place the last time we went to Settler's Ridge for a movie and agreed to check it out on our next date night, which was last night. The atmosphere is ok, but nothing special. For a place whose specialty is coal-fired cuisine, I was hoping for something a little more homey. Our waitress was friendly and checked in on us frequently. Also the place was pretty packed, and yet we got our food VERY fast. The service overall was definitely above average. We got an order of the wings, which came with caramelized onions and focaccia bread. No sauce, no spices, just coal-fired chicken wings. Excellent! We hogged them down as fast as we could. The pizza was good. I liked it a little more than my wife did, but even I was hoping for it to be better. We got half with baby meatballs and half with prosciutto. The crust was tasty, and the toppings were good. The cheese and seasonings, though, were a little on the bland side. Again, good, but not as good as I had hoped. If you're at Settler's Ridge and looking for a place to relax and nosh before walking the 40-50 yards, or so, to catch a movie, Anthony's will do the trick. If you're looking for a kick-butt pie that'll make your eyes roll back into your head, go elsewhere. I absolutely recommend their wings, though.
(3)Joe M.
Probably my favorite pizza Pittsburgh (like i have a wealth of comparison from the 13 months i've beeen here!). Nice lunch spot but i recommend sitting at the bar if you want to have a private conversation. Otherwise, the tables are close enough that you can be torn between the interview on your left, the sales lunch on your right and the secret office romance behind you. In that case, i suggest the homemade sangria! Typically people go there for the pizza and i dont blame them. My personal favorite is the meatball and ricotta, although the tomato and basil is also good. Order a lunch salad to round out the day.
(4)Nick L.
I am going to rate my experience as I dine.... Wait time for server to come 7 min...just to take drink orders 12 mins to get the drinks 36 min to get food food quality and selection----- quality....unfortunately whenever they get more than 3-5 tables in at the same time they try to knock out all of the pizzas right away which is making the quality horrible....our pizza was chewy not crispy as they said it would be, one half was cooked ok and the other half was undercooked....their sauce has chunks of tomato in it...it didn't taste bad but it could have been done better... selection.....the selection is very small...you can get chicken wings but they don't have any types of sauces....so for those of you out there that like BBQ, buffalo or hot don't look to Anthonys to provide this. .... now i was very suprised that this italian eatery DOESNT even have an Italian hoagie of some sort, instead they have a tuna fish sandwich....weird huh Overall it is very loud and very crowded we will not be returning....bad service...bad food...go to milanos and save ur money

I went here on a Friday night with a group and the place was packed. Not only was the restaurant packed, but the entire parking lot was slammed. I feel like this was poor planning on the developer of the strip mall - there's a lot there with little space. That said, plan on walking to get to this restaurant. We had a 45 minute wait for a table, although I don't think we waited quite that long. The restaurant itself isn't very big but I did like the decor and it was clean. Tables are close together and small. Everything was crowded. The menu, again, is small. Pizza - all specialties if I am remembering correctly, wings (not your typical wings, these have no sauce but are covered with delicious onions and served with focaccia bread) and then they offer some salads. The beer menu didn't offer much either. There were maybe six kinds and I have no clue what is on tap but I can tell you that Yuengling and Shock Top will be brought to you in bottles. The Shock Top will set you back $6. I think they offered a lot of wine but since I don't care for it, I didn't look at it. The service was pretty good. They were quick to clear our tables and bring out our drinks and food. All in all, it was okay. I won't go out of my way for this place because its just way too crowded and busy for my tastes. But, if you're nearby, give it a try, preferably not on a weekend. Just an fyi.. Four beers, a bottle of wine, a large pizza and wings set us back ~$100.
(3)Jordan D.
Top notch pizza, folks. The service is always fantastic, and everything (from the salad to the wings) is amazing. Love it.
(5)B P.
Some of the best pizza I have ever had! I recommend the eggplant Marino and Paul and Young Ron with hot peppers! Exceptional service! Absolutely the fastest service. I would come everyday if I could.
(5)R P.
Very nice restaurant that has a patio, bar and dining area. The server was extremely helpful and nice. The pizza was excellent. They have a yummy pumpkin beer they has cinnamon on the lip of the glass. Would definitely recommend this place others.
(4)Joe D.
I was pretty disappointed in certain aspects of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. First, this is a tiny, tiny place, I'm guessing seating for around 50, with perhaps another 14 seats at the bar. The pizza kitchen is out in the open with two coal fired ovens glowing orange. Since one Oven is for pizza only and the other for sandwiches, when there are a lot of pizzas being ordered, it can back up, quickly! This was the case Sunday when the gang didn't want to go to our usual spot for playoff football (the Rock Bottom) and opted instead for Anthony's. I kept telling them is was too new still, and on a Sunday afternoon would be ridiculously packed, and I was right. A table was a 45 min wait and we opted to sit at the bar, waiting for couples to leave or have their table called. Finally we were all able to sit at the bar, some customers were nice enough to move to other sections of the bar so we could all sit together. There is only one screen behind the bar and we were off to the side. (right by the front door, which made for a very chilly atmosphere, later four seats opened in the middle of the bar where it was much warmer) First disappointment: only two selections on draft?? Sam Adams and an Italian beer. I chose Sam Adams, no pint glasses here, pilsner glasses only. Extensive wine selection and bottled beer. It was only after I ordered a Sam Adams did I know they had Great Lakes IPA. The bartender never showed us a beer menu. When you order a soft drink, they go to a giant Coke display case like you'd see at Walmart or GetGo. Really? They bring you a bottle of coke or whatever you ordered and a glass of ice. The place is decorated nicely with really nice wood and brick and you have a Coke refrigerator? Lots of sports memorabilia on the walls and of course a signed Dan Marino jersey. Odd seeing Dolphin's pictures and jerseys in a Pittsburgh establishment. The guys decided on pizza, they ordered a large, half white pizza with ricotta, mozzerella, and Romano. The other half was the "Dan Marino" basically a white pizza with sauce and breaded, fried, eggplant. A sign on the wall reads "our pizzas are well done" meaning edges are burnt. For vegetarians they have a roasted cauliflower pizza with cheese, breaded cauliflower, garlic and olive oil. Because they were so crowded, our pizza took almost 35 minutes. The white pizza was ok, I added some parm cheese from the shaker and some hot pepper flakes to give it some flavor. The crust was nothing spectacular, its a thin crust with dark hues from the coal ovens. The guys all mentioned how quickly the pizza cooled as it sat on the bar. To be honest, this pizza wasn't that special, I've had better white pizza at Bado's in Mt Lebanon. This leads me to my second and biggest disappointment. If you bill yourself as a PIZZA restaurant, make sure your pizza is something special! This pie was nothing out of the ordinary. I would much rather have stayed home, with a half tray of Beto's pizza and watched the games in comfort and growlers of beer from The Rock Bottom or River Town. For the sweet thooths, there is only one selection for dessert, and it's cheesecake. This seems to be the new "in" place for the South Hills. It draws an older crowd and families It's noisy, lots of kids, small, crowded and really? ONLY TWO DRAFT BEER SELECTIONS? Really? I was seriously disappointed, the only saving grace was seeing the Packers lose on that sacred hallowed ground.

This is a good pizza joint. its kinda odd cause the tables and atmosphere are some what "fast food" feeling, if you order a soda they bring you a 20 oz plastic bottle and a red dinner glass of ice, they have a nice selection of beer ( thankfully in a glass made of glass). the food is great though. the wings are the bomb, the salads good and the pizza very tasty, again plastic cafeteria style plates. Funny, I just think if they did a few upgrades to the overall feel of the place they would get 4 or 5 stars (and if you look at my reviews i don't give many 5 stars). Close your eyes and enjoy the pizza!!

Hmmm. It's smoking...Coal-fired pizza...sounds good. On the door, on the wall, on the menu...It says " Our Pizza is Well Done. Look around, many pizza's with a somewhat burn crust...many smiling faces. The coal is anthracite so it is clean burning..the oven gets really hot! The decor is nice but mostly windows and a large square room with a long bar and lots of pictures mostly of local sports. A couple of beers on tap, bottle beers, wines and drinks are available. A simple menu of pizza, salads, chicken wings and a couple of sandwiches. Had the coal-fired chicken wings which come out crisp with caramelized onions. The onions were gooood but the wings were lacking flavor except for a little char flavor and a little salty tasting. The pizza was good with a burnt taste which gave it a subtle flavor of charcoal...not overly burnt. The crust is thin as you would expect for a fired oven pizza. Had Italian sausage as a topping and it was kind of sweet..was hoping for a spicier flavor. The hostess and waitress where very friendly and helpful.

Great pizza and wings with some hard to beat beer specials. there pizza is a close as you can get to a pie in italy that I have come across in the burgh. wings are also done in the coal oven and covered in caramelized onions. great job guys!
(4)Matt S.
I thought the pizza was pretty good. The crust was super thin and I don't know a lot of places around here that do it like that. It was also a little burnt and I see that mentioned in a few other reviews so hopefully they will work that out soon. There are definitely way better take out pizza places in Robinson, but if you are at Settler's Ridge looking for a fancy looking place to eat pizza, this will do the trick.

The smell alone lured my man and me up in here. ahhh the smell of pizza. We came on a Fri night around 6:30pm and the place was packed with people waiting outside in the dead of winter to get a table. Now, I love me some good pizza but I'm not sure I'd stand outside waiting for a table in 9 degree weater. We worked our way to the bar for a drink. I ordered cabernet and he ordered a cocktail. We knew this would warm us up. We were told the table wait would be 35 minutes. NOPE- they called us in about 10 minutes. We ordered a large pizza with pepporoni, sweet peppers, and mushrooms. The pizza was delicious, crisy edges with heat bubbles crispy and black from the coal oven. So good! The table next to us ordered a meatball and ricotta pizza. I wanted to try some- next time, right? Highly recommended! It's not the typical burgh pizza - this place is special. Great atmosphere.
(4)Mishelle B.
We order from here all the time. I love the fact they do half and half pizzas so we both are Happy. The broccoli rab is delicious. The rosemary wings are to die for. We even used their catering before. They serve way to much for but it was delicious. Several people who joined us that night now come here regularly.
(4)Laura K.
My old college roommate kept talking about the Anthony's in FL and how wonderful the food was. So, we tried the Anthony's in Settler's Ridge. The pizza one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The location is great because if you are going to have a long wait, you can get shopping done. The "To Go" process is great too. Call when I leave work and my dinner is ready when I drive up to the door.
(5)Jennifer D.
If you have never been here, they will bring you a free sample of their wings. Great salad and great service. Highly recommend the eggplant pizza. The dough is made fresh! The salad pizza looks good, although I haven't tried it.
(5)Mary W.
Just ordered take out for lunch at the office and I was definately impressed. We ordered the Eggplant Marino and I am wishing there was more. It's not your typical pizza and that's not a bad thing. The crust looks like it's burnt, but it isn't. The Eggplant Marino had eggplant with marinara sauce and romano cheese. It was definatley impressive. They have a nice outdoor seating area that I will definately have to check out. The staff was also very friendly and courteous. I will definately be back.
(4)David C.
Pizza not bad, will probably return. We received a sample of free wings, which were okay, but nothing great. The pizza crust is borderline burnt (if not)- but like someone else said.... there's lots of signs saying that the pizza is well done. If you haven't gone yet, give it a try.
(3)Jim B.
Pizza is excellent, don't even like wings but their wings are unbelievable. It is a bit pricey but well worth it I think. Been there about 8 times never a bad meal.
(5)Adam E.
Not to shabby, high quality ingredients. Two friends and I decided to visit Anthonys for our first taste of coal oven pizza. We each ordered one beer and selected a speciality pizza that had meatballs, ricotta and roasted green chilies and another wih pep and prosciutto as well as a order of 20 roasted wings.( $90 with tip) The wings were done fast and served with a day old taste. (my only bitch) The roasted chili and ricotta and meatball pie was to die for. Our second pie was great too, the prosciutto was topped after the oven. I know why, but I prefer it cooked a litle bit. Next time I'll ask for them to put it on halfway done. This is one of those places you want to be the first to introduce your friends too.

When I first heard "coal fired pizza," I imagined the sooty skies of old Pittsburgh and workers wiping their blackened brows- surely an oven powered by coal will also be sooty and smelly, right? As I understand it, coal is used to super heat the ovens at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza to make their distinct taste, and it works. The mix of delicious recipes and coal oven cooking make Anthony's some of the best pizza I've ever had in Pittsburgh, or anywhere else. I started off with coal fired wings- these wings are flavored and baked in the coal oven, giving them a crisp, roasted flavor, and then smothered in cooked onions and focaccia bread. The wings are plump and juicy, and I think the onions could be put on the menu by themselves- try putting the onions on the focaccia bread and you'll agree these are a party in your mouth. Next up, we tried the gorgonzola salad, which has tasty greens, iceberg lettuce, onions, chick peas, hard-boiled eggs, and a healthy slathering of oil based dressing. If you like your salad soaked in dressing, you'll love this one, and the chick peas make a nice addition to this yummy salad. However, the pizza is what we came here for, and I wasn't disappointed. I tried the sauceless Mozzarella, Sliced Tomato, and Basil pizza, which had very fresh ingredients, and the crust has a nice crispiness without being dry. Next up, I had to try the meatball ricotta pizza, which is made with their signature parmesan meatballs. This pizza should be outlawed it is so good. The juicy meatballs have a distinct parmesan and basil flavor, the sauce has a mellow tomato flavor without being too acidic, and the ricotta and mozzarella cheese were painted on thick, Plus, the crust was crunchy without being dry, again thanks to the coal fired oven. I'm going back soon to try some of their coal fired sandwiches for lunch, which sound awesome, as well as a calzone that I saw another table order that was so big I could have used as a sleeping bag. Check out this delicious pizza restaurant that has a warm interior. You might notice the Dan Marino pictures everywhere- that's because he is part owner of the South Florida chain, which brings a nice Pittsburgh connection to the restaurant. Also, make sure you say hi to General Manager John Mowod, who took the time to stop at our table to say hi- he's running a great staff that despite the restaurant just opening, ran the place like a well oiled-machine-- or a well fired coal oven.
(5)Lisa P.
I've had this pizza twice and it's not bad. It's nothing to rave about and it's not great. And please stop complaining about burnt crust the sign is right under the name of the restaurant and right inside the door and all over the boxes and every where else. that says our pizza is well done. So it clearly warns you.. I think its over priced. I would rather have Betos or Fioris. This is a restaurant not a pizza joint and they only serve bottled soft drinks and only have 2 beers on tap. It's ok
(3)Andrea C.
Just went to Anthony's. Overall I thought the pizza was good. I liked the sauce on the plain cheese pizza. It was sweet and a little zesty. I get the idea of a oven fired pizza and everything, but the crust on the pizza (my favorite part) was burnt. The Philly cheese steak pizza was also very good. The place was packed - not sure if it was because it was a Friday during Lent or what, but we waited for 45 minutes. A little weird - when I asked for a Coke it was given to me in a plastic bottle...do they not have a fountain machine like every other restaurant? The server was very nice and personable. He highly recommend the wings. It was a little loud for me. The prices were fair - actually less than I thought they might be.
(3)Ishi G.
I'd like to give this place a 3.5. Decent pizza, good atmosphere and a simple variety of choices on the menu! I highly recommend the Eggplant Marino pizza with a glass of the Shock Top Belgian White beer. Their portions are big. So remember, if you're thinking ordering a side of the Classic Italian Salad for two - it's really not portioned for two! That bowl could easily serve 5. It's always packed in the evenings on weekends so be prepared for a fairly long wait - I would suggest trying them out during lunch.
(3)Michael M.
As far as the pizza goes, it was good. I wouldn't drive all the way to Robinson for it, but I had no complaints about the food. The space itself is adequate. The server provided great service. However, the manager that approached our table was irritating. She attempted to sell us more food after our server had already taken our order. I found it to be pretty annoying, and if I was the server I would be pissed that my manager wasn't letting me do my job.
(3)Robert G.
Great pizza and the best wings I have ever had.
(5)Staci w.
I took a party of 4 here last Saturday .. It was ok .. There are signs all over warning u about the well cooked pizza .. It's code for a little burnt .. For a pizza that starts at around 20 dollars it's a little disappointing .. I paid 50 dollars for a kinda burnt pizza , 2 salads where the cheese costs two dollars extra and 4 bottled drinks cause there are no soft drinks on tap .. All in all try it if u want to be able to say you did otherwise go somewhere else ..
(1)Audrey R.
Obvious this restaurant is not familiar with GOOD GREAT coal fire pizza. This had to be one of the worst pizza, if that's what you want to call it, I have had. It was a pita bread texture with minimal about of tomatoes. I mean minimal. Cheese harden quickly and I didn't see one piece of basil. Being 100% Italian I had to share my thoughts about this terrible experience. On a positive note, the salad was good.
(1)Kristin B.
This is one of our favorite weekday lunch or dinner spots. The pizzas are pretty good, and I love the meatball plate as an entrée when not in the mood for pizza. Their wings, however, are GREAT. Full of flavor, and they come with focaccia bread and caramelized onions. Can't beat that. They also always have a good selection of beer on tap. Both local and adventurous brews!
(4)Kelly S.
Party of 6, we were seated immediately & sat at our table with no service for 15 minutes. No one asked to get us drinks....NOTHING! Despite the two servers that continuously walked past us several time providing service to the tables around us.
(1)Andrew K.
The pizza was good, not phenominal, but good. The wings however blew me away. Our server brought us a free sample of them and I was amazed. I will be coming back to make a meal of them soon. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere pleasant. We sat on the patio because it was a beautiful day, but because the patio is right next to the main road in to the plaza, there was a lot of traffic noise. Drinks are the downfall though and the reason I couldn't rate 5-stars. All of the soft drinks (including iced tea) are Coke products in bottles at $2.99 each. No one at our table bought from the bar so I can't comment on that. Overall, a pleasant experience with good food and amazing wings.
(4)Taylor F.
Great Pizza. Nice beer selection. Stopped in just before 10pm Friday night although there was an hour left before they closed, the wait staff seemed less than enthused to seat new customers. The place was practically empty, maybe only 4 other tables had recently been seated. We would have preferred to eat outside on the patio but the hostess didn't ask and we didn't request a change. Wasn't our first time here. Knew the Philly Cheese Steak was our favorite so we had that and a white pizza. It was very good. Food- 4 Service- 1 Ambiance- 3
(3)Von R.
I'm not a fan. This is just a personal preference. I'm not into thin crust pizza. The wings where not my favorite either. They did give us a small pizza for free to makeup for the mix up in our choice of toppings. Bottom line, not my preference for pizza nor wings.
(2)Austin P.
I did take out for a large plain pizza, which came to a total of $30 dollars. The quality and the taste of the pizza are mediocre at best, with nothing to show for the extremely high price tag. The take out experience wasn't fantastic, with confusion as to whom was supposed to be checking me out. The staff was rather young and immature, not seeming to take anything seriously.
(1)Rachel C.
Not bad for a chain. I think with Il Piazzaiolo and Mercurio's there's really no competition, but for a quick bite in Settlers Ridge, it was a-okay! I ordered the roasted cauliflower pizza. The cauli was roasted to a crisp and I really liked the Parmesan cheese on top. An individual size pizza was plenty for a lunch portion too. I also ordered a Bloody Mary since it was on special (I can't help myself). It wasn't horrible, but kinda boring. The service was incredibly friendly. I just wish they weren't blasting the AC, as I was felt like I needed a parka to eat inside in August. I'll take my pizza parka free, thanks!
(3)James M.
Love the pizza, love the wings, & especially love the ribs. If you come at peak times expect a wait for a table. Parking is usually the worst part.
(5)Cyndi B.
We got there at 5:50 pm on a Saturday night-place was full. We were told it would be a 25 minute wait, it was a half hour. We were able to grab some space at the bar so the wait wasn't bad. It also gave us an opportunity to check out the different dishes coming from the kitchen on the way to the waiting patrons. We had two pizzas, wings and ribs between two couples, the food was delicious:) although a bit pricey. The atmosphere was loud, crowded and filled with delicious smells, yet we were able to talk amongst ourselves and be heard without difficulty. All in all a good time.
(4)Scott A.
The pizza is pretty good. The wings were very good. Service was good. I think it is a little over priced. Didnt like that pop comes in a plastice bottle $2.99 each.
(3)Susan B.
The food was good, and we love the arugula. Service was good and the bar had a great selection of beers on tap. My only complaint is the cold air draft. The doors open up to the dining room, and several times both doors were held open, blasting the dining room with icy air! Unless you want to be flash-frozen, sit away from the door. In their defense, it's January, but I don't like eating wearing a coat.
(4)Arlene M.
Had dinner here with a girlfriend. Place is small and will crowd easily since it is located near a multiplex theatre complex. We were told the pizza crust would be burnt but it was still tasty. We ordered the eggplant pizza and enjoyed it. I was surprised that a place that charges so much to bring our soft drinks out in bottles. So much for free refills. Staff is friendly and attentive. There are many eateries in this complex so it may be a while before I visit again. It favors the younger crowd
(3)Nick M.
Only dealt with the bartenders so I can't speak much on the full service. All I can say is the bartenders are good at their job. I usually just order a pizza and a beer. Specialty pizzas here have not intrigued me. I tend to get a cheese or pepperoni pizza. I enjoy the thin crust on their pizzas. Most places around here only do a thick traditional crust. They have a slightly better beer selection than most places around. On the weekends it is packed. This is a hot spot on the weekends.
(3)Rebecca G.
The pizza is good, but I don't really get the burnt crust thing. Whatever... I mean, there was nothing bad or wrong with the pizza, but it was kind of bland. We got the arugula and added hot peppers. The sauce was uneven and tasteless. Peppers were super hot. Just not great.
(3)Amelia H.
The boyfriend and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat on a weekday before catching a movie. I had been wanting to try this place for a while, so we finally did! First off, the hostesses were very unprofessional, laughing and goofing off in front of customers. When we walked in, they were gossiping with one another and I had interrupt them to get seated, even though they clearly saw us come in. We had a nice table off to the side, and got a nice view of the restaurant. The space itself is kind of weird, like one big square room. Not the best ambiance. Boy, was it loud in there! The music was blasting and it was hard for us to hear one another. It was late and I understand it was in the midst of changing from a family restaurant to a bar scene, but still the loudness was a little too much for us. Our server, Nathan, was extremely friendly. He was attentive, quick, and always there when we needed him. Best service I have received in a long time! Tom ordered a craft beer and I got a Diet Coke. They bring the soft drinks out in bottles, which I'm sure saves them money, but I think is rude. No free refills allowed... so I drank very slowly. We ordered a white pizza and split it. The pizza was pretty good with very fresh ingredients, but not good enough for the price. Also, their pizza is "well done" in a coal fired oven, which means that the crust is crispy, burnt, and there is black coal dust all over the bottom of the pizza. Not completely appetizing if you ask me... I will stick to brick ovens and wood-fired! Overall, decent pizza for too much money. Service made up for it. Go for lunch when it's not so loud.
(3)Michael C.
Excellent well done thin crust. I have been to a few locations and the food is consistently excellent.
(5)Dan H.
I have only been to the one in Settlers Ridge. I have been there twice and can't say enough good about it. The pizza, the salad, and the meatballs are great! Short wait, good music, nice bar.
(5)Frank P.
Amazing is the best way to describe this place! The wings and the pizza are simply awesome! The wings are like nothing I've ever had before. They are definitely worth the try! The salad was awesome too!
(5)Sue O.
This is my go to place with my hubby or girlfriends!! Salads are my favorite!! I am Italian and never eat meatballs out but these I can't resist .. Yummy and served with Ricotta cheese:) happy hour is awesome .. Especially Martinis on Wednesday.. I have a favorite bartender can't remember her name but she always remembers what I drink:)
(5)Jeff M.
Nice interior atmosphere for the restaurant although the men's bathroom was a little on the trashy side. Starter salad was very tasty. Cauliflower pizza was a little bland although the regular pizza was top notch. Service was fast and very friendly. Over all a good experience and we would definitely come back.
(4)Jack L.
After taking in a movie at Settler's Ridge on my day off, my 8 year old daughter piped up, "Let's try Anthony's for dinner!" Actually, we've been meaning to try out their coal fired pizza for a while and usually we go to the area for Thai Foon. In the mood for something different, we made the very short walk from Cinemark to Anthony's. The 4 stars in my rating is for the food only. Everything else might be at a 2 or 3. The pizza was just great! We split a large specialty pizza - one half was broccoli rabe and sausage and the other half was meatball and ricotta. The crust was thin and just lightly burnt from the purported coal fire and the toppings were plentiful and delicious. I would say that the topping choices on the specialty pizza offerings are very well thought out and gave us plenty of reason to return to branch out a little and try a couple of other combinations. So, there ends the 4 star portion. On to the rest: - The seating area is very small. This place is deceptively large - when you get in, there is a tiny bar area and only about seating for 50 or so. We had a 20 minute wait and thankfully the food was worth it. - Service was pretty off. For a Monday night, they were so clearly understaffed. So, long waits for simple requests like more water, extra napkins, silverware for our party of 4, and our check. - The restaurant itself is hot. I mean, how could it not be when "coal fired pizza" is in the name? But, better ventilation would make the dine in experience go a lot smoother.

I routinely patronize the original store in Fort Lauderdale and was very happy to see that I could get Anthony's Coal Fired when I am traveling. The location for this particular part of the chain was really good to get them into a market where people might snub their noses up at a new kind of pizza. With the Cinemark Robinson movie theater a 2 minute walk through the parking lot and ample parking, this Anthony's is continually packed. Having been to the original, I figured I would be better writing a review that compares and contrasts the locations based on my order: Pepperoni Pizza Meatballs smaller with less ricotta Chicken Wings The meatballs with ricotta was first to arrive. The meatballs and portion of ricotta served were smaller. The meatballs tasted slightly different. I couldn't quite tell if it was because there was more filler in the meatballs or if due to the fact that they weren't cooked as much. The ricotta didn't have the same rich and full flavor that I am used to getting at Anthony's. The chicken wings were the next items to arrive. The only real difference with the wings is that they are not cooked as much. I really do enjoy the charring on the wings and onions and do wish that these were cooked more. The pizza, while still well-done, was not cooked as much at this location as the other location. My biggest issue with the pizza at the other location was the extent of the burnt crust. At this Anthony's, there is a tad more grace to the cooking in the coal-fired oven. There were really dark brown marks along the crust in places, but no where was the pizza actually burnt. The sauce still had that wonderful peppery tang to it. Overall, I think the two locations are on an even keel and that they can learn from each other to make the food better. This location can take lessons from the Fort Lauderdale location in the preparation of its appetizers. The Fort Lauderdale location can definitely take some lessons on how to make a coal-fired pizza well done without burning it.
(4)Ozzie Y.
This place is my favorite pizza place. My top picks are Philly Cheese Steak and Meatball and Ricotta... Yummm!!! It probably is little pricier than others but you get quality and unique options. They also have the best wings in Pittsburgh. Marinated in olive oil, herbs and oven roasted. Last but not least great salad/dressing, their homemade red wine vinaigrette is to die for.
(5)Tom A.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza... I've been to this place several times and am so torn. Every time I've been here I love the food, but hate the price. With that said, they have a unique product so I understand it being a little expensive but in my mind their prices are a little too high. I will say that the wings are unique and so good that I come back again and again, in spite of the price. The Cheesesteak Pizza is melt in your mouth good. I've had several of the other pizzas and really liked them as well. The toppings seem fairly high quality in general. As for the people who have complained about dark crust.... Read the walls, that is sort of their thing! If you order the right things the food is unique and tasty enough that I have to give this place 5 start in spite of the price. I would absolutely bring people from out of town here. I'll just warn you to be prepared to shell out some cash depending on what you order.
(5)Renee M.
I was quite pleased with our lunch here. The waiter was very nice and very quick even with a full house. We were in and out in 45 minutes with a family of 5. The food was good and I would definitely return.
(4)Mike M.
The key word here is well done pizza.. That's what they mean the bottom is not really Brent but is is well done with the darkness and a crisp.. My family and I go here often and I think I have had mostly a lot of whats on the menu and I gotta say haven't found anything that I don't like... From pizza with cauliflower and spinach to ribs with jalapeños to wings that are seasoned to perfection to slices of provolone cheese with tomatoes and herbs atop.. I like it all is all different... I had been talking to the manager after a beer and food tasting/dinner, and we talked about the different meals combinations of foods. He had stated that all the recipes had come from a long line of ancestors.. Food is not only differently good but it is excellent. As long as you get past the well done part.

Pizza topped with mushrooms and pepperoni! Mmmm. They warn you about the pizza being "well-done" like it's a BAD thing. I think the blackened (yet soft and chewy/crispy) crust was my favorite part!! This pizza is BOSS. If you're picky about your pizza, just go to Anthony's. They won't let you down. The service is GREAT. Crystal was our waitress, big ups to Crystal! She was busy, yet attentive. This place... Oh, and the atmosphere! We came with a party of four and had to wait to be seated along with a handful of other parties. The place was PACKED. GOOD SIGN, PEOPLE!! Overall, nice atmosphere. Delicious pizza. Done.

If you have never been here, they will bring you a free sample of their wings. Great salad and great service. Highly recommend the eggplant pizza. The dough is made fresh! The salad pizza looks good, although I haven't tried it.

I am going to rate my experience as I dine.... Wait time for server to come 7 min...just to take drink orders 12 mins to get the drinks 36 min to get food food quality and selection----- quality....unfortunately whenever they get more than 3-5 tables in at the same time they try to knock out all of the pizzas right away which is making the quality horrible....our pizza was chewy not crispy as they said it would be, one half was cooked ok and the other half was undercooked....their sauce has chunks of tomato in it...it didn't taste bad but it could have been done better... selection.....the selection is very small...you can get chicken wings but they don't have any types of sauces....so for those of you out there that like BBQ, buffalo or hot don't look to Anthonys to provide this. .... now i was very suprised that this italian eatery DOESNT even have an Italian hoagie of some sort, instead they have a tuna fish sandwich....weird huh Overall it is very loud and very crowded we will not be returning....bad service...bad food...go to milanos and save ur money

When I first heard "coal fired pizza," I imagined the sooty skies of old Pittsburgh and workers wiping their blackened brows- surely an oven powered by coal will also be sooty and smelly, right? As I understand it, coal is used to super heat the ovens at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza to make their distinct taste, and it works. The mix of delicious recipes and coal oven cooking make Anthony's some of the best pizza I've ever had in Pittsburgh, or anywhere else. I started off with coal fired wings- these wings are flavored and baked in the coal oven, giving them a crisp, roasted flavor, and then smothered in cooked onions and focaccia bread. The wings are plump and juicy, and I think the onions could be put on the menu by themselves- try putting the onions on the focaccia bread and you'll agree these are a party in your mouth. Next up, we tried the gorgonzola salad, which has tasty greens, iceberg lettuce, onions, chick peas, hard-boiled eggs, and a healthy slathering of oil based dressing. If you like your salad soaked in dressing, you'll love this one, and the chick peas make a nice addition to this yummy salad. However, the pizza is what we came here for, and I wasn't disappointed. I tried the sauceless Mozzarella, Sliced Tomato, and Basil pizza, which had very fresh ingredients, and the crust has a nice crispiness without being dry. Next up, I had to try the meatball ricotta pizza, which is made with their signature parmesan meatballs. This pizza should be outlawed it is so good. The juicy meatballs have a distinct parmesan and basil flavor, the sauce has a mellow tomato flavor without being too acidic, and the ricotta and mozzarella cheese were painted on thick, Plus, the crust was crunchy without being dry, again thanks to the coal fired oven. I'm going back soon to try some of their coal fired sandwiches for lunch, which sound awesome, as well as a calzone that I saw another table order that was so big I could have used as a sleeping bag. Check out this delicious pizza restaurant that has a warm interior. You might notice the Dan Marino pictures everywhere- that's because he is part owner of the South Florida chain, which brings a nice Pittsburgh connection to the restaurant. Also, make sure you say hi to General Manager John Mowod, who took the time to stop at our table to say hi- he's running a great staff that despite the restaurant just opening, ran the place like a well oiled-machine-- or a well fired coal oven.

My wife and I noticed this place the last time we went to Settler's Ridge for a movie and agreed to check it out on our next date night, which was last night. The atmosphere is ok, but nothing special. For a place whose specialty is coal-fired cuisine, I was hoping for something a little more homey. Our waitress was friendly and checked in on us frequently. Also the place was pretty packed, and yet we got our food VERY fast. The service overall was definitely above average. We got an order of the wings, which came with caramelized onions and focaccia bread. No sauce, no spices, just coal-fired chicken wings. Excellent! We hogged them down as fast as we could. The pizza was good. I liked it a little more than my wife did, but even I was hoping for it to be better. We got half with baby meatballs and half with prosciutto. The crust was tasty, and the toppings were good. The cheese and seasonings, though, were a little on the bland side. Again, good, but not as good as I had hoped. If you're at Settler's Ridge and looking for a place to relax and nosh before walking the 40-50 yards, or so, to catch a movie, Anthony's will do the trick. If you're looking for a kick-butt pie that'll make your eyes roll back into your head, go elsewhere. I absolutely recommend their wings, though.

Probably my favorite pizza Pittsburgh (like i have a wealth of comparison from the 13 months i've beeen here!). Nice lunch spot but i recommend sitting at the bar if you want to have a private conversation. Otherwise, the tables are close enough that you can be torn between the interview on your left, the sales lunch on your right and the secret office romance behind you. In that case, i suggest the homemade sangria! Typically people go there for the pizza and i dont blame them. My personal favorite is the meatball and ricotta, although the tomato and basil is also good. Order a lunch salad to round out the day.

Made my first trip to ACFP and I thought our pizza was great [we tried the roasted cauliflower pizza] and so where the wings. I can't really add anything new to the comments already on Yelp about atmosphere...there really is not any to speak of...and the 3 stars are mostly because their prices are too high. You will get however fantastic pizza and wings.

This is a good pizza joint. its kinda odd cause the tables and atmosphere are some what "fast food" feeling, if you order a soda they bring you a 20 oz plastic bottle and a red dinner glass of ice, they have a nice selection of beer ( thankfully in a glass made of glass). the food is great though. the wings are the bomb, the salads good and the pizza very tasty, again plastic cafeteria style plates. Funny, I just think if they did a few upgrades to the overall feel of the place they would get 4 or 5 stars (and if you look at my reviews i don't give many 5 stars). Close your eyes and enjoy the pizza!!

I went here on a Friday night with a group and the place was packed. Not only was the restaurant packed, but the entire parking lot was slammed. I feel like this was poor planning on the developer of the strip mall - there's a lot there with little space. That said, plan on walking to get to this restaurant. We had a 45 minute wait for a table, although I don't think we waited quite that long. The restaurant itself isn't very big but I did like the decor and it was clean. Tables are close together and small. Everything was crowded. The menu, again, is small. Pizza - all specialties if I am remembering correctly, wings (not your typical wings, these have no sauce but are covered with delicious onions and served with focaccia bread) and then they offer some salads. The beer menu didn't offer much either. There were maybe six kinds and I have no clue what is on tap but I can tell you that Yuengling and Shock Top will be brought to you in bottles. The Shock Top will set you back $6. I think they offered a lot of wine but since I don't care for it, I didn't look at it. The service was pretty good. They were quick to clear our tables and bring out our drinks and food. All in all, it was okay. I won't go out of my way for this place because its just way too crowded and busy for my tastes. But, if you're nearby, give it a try, preferably not on a weekend. Just an fyi.. Four beers, a bottle of wine, a large pizza and wings set us back ~$100.

Top notch pizza, folks. The service is always fantastic, and everything (from the salad to the wings) is amazing. Love it.
(5)B P.
Some of the best pizza I have ever had! I recommend the eggplant Marino and Paul and Young Ron with hot peppers! Exceptional service! Absolutely the fastest service. I would come everyday if I could.

Very nice restaurant that has a patio, bar and dining area. The server was extremely helpful and nice. The pizza was excellent. They have a yummy pumpkin beer they has cinnamon on the lip of the glass. Would definitely recommend this place others.

I was pretty disappointed in certain aspects of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. First, this is a tiny, tiny place, I'm guessing seating for around 50, with perhaps another 14 seats at the bar. The pizza kitchen is out in the open with two coal fired ovens glowing orange. Since one Oven is for pizza only and the other for sandwiches, when there are a lot of pizzas being ordered, it can back up, quickly! This was the case Sunday when the gang didn't want to go to our usual spot for playoff football (the Rock Bottom) and opted instead for Anthony's. I kept telling them is was too new still, and on a Sunday afternoon would be ridiculously packed, and I was right. A table was a 45 min wait and we opted to sit at the bar, waiting for couples to leave or have their table called. Finally we were all able to sit at the bar, some customers were nice enough to move to other sections of the bar so we could all sit together. There is only one screen behind the bar and we were off to the side. (right by the front door, which made for a very chilly atmosphere, later four seats opened in the middle of the bar where it was much warmer) First disappointment: only two selections on draft?? Sam Adams and an Italian beer. I chose Sam Adams, no pint glasses here, pilsner glasses only. Extensive wine selection and bottled beer. It was only after I ordered a Sam Adams did I know they had Great Lakes IPA. The bartender never showed us a beer menu. When you order a soft drink, they go to a giant Coke display case like you'd see at Walmart or GetGo. Really? They bring you a bottle of coke or whatever you ordered and a glass of ice. The place is decorated nicely with really nice wood and brick and you have a Coke refrigerator? Lots of sports memorabilia on the walls and of course a signed Dan Marino jersey. Odd seeing Dolphin's pictures and jerseys in a Pittsburgh establishment. The guys decided on pizza, they ordered a large, half white pizza with ricotta, mozzerella, and Romano. The other half was the "Dan Marino" basically a white pizza with sauce and breaded, fried, eggplant. A sign on the wall reads "our pizzas are well done" meaning edges are burnt. For vegetarians they have a roasted cauliflower pizza with cheese, breaded cauliflower, garlic and olive oil. Because they were so crowded, our pizza took almost 35 minutes. The white pizza was ok, I added some parm cheese from the shaker and some hot pepper flakes to give it some flavor. The crust was nothing spectacular, its a thin crust with dark hues from the coal ovens. The guys all mentioned how quickly the pizza cooled as it sat on the bar. To be honest, this pizza wasn't that special, I've had better white pizza at Bado's in Mt Lebanon. This leads me to my second and biggest disappointment. If you bill yourself as a PIZZA restaurant, make sure your pizza is something special! This pie was nothing out of the ordinary. I would much rather have stayed home, with a half tray of Beto's pizza and watched the games in comfort and growlers of beer from The Rock Bottom or River Town. For the sweet thooths, there is only one selection for dessert, and it's cheesecake. This seems to be the new "in" place for the South Hills. It draws an older crowd and families It's noisy, lots of kids, small, crowded and really? ONLY TWO DRAFT BEER SELECTIONS? Really? I was seriously disappointed, the only saving grace was seeing the Packers lose on that sacred hallowed ground.

The smell alone lured my man and me up in here. ahhh the smell of pizza. We came on a Fri night around 6:30pm and the place was packed with people waiting outside in the dead of winter to get a table. Now, I love me some good pizza but I'm not sure I'd stand outside waiting for a table in 9 degree weater. We worked our way to the bar for a drink. I ordered cabernet and he ordered a cocktail. We knew this would warm us up. We were told the table wait would be 35 minutes. NOPE- they called us in about 10 minutes. We ordered a large pizza with pepporoni, sweet peppers, and mushrooms. The pizza was delicious, crisy edges with heat bubbles crispy and black from the coal oven. So good! The table next to us ordered a meatball and ricotta pizza. I wanted to try some- next time, right? Highly recommended! It's not the typical burgh pizza - this place is special. Great atmosphere.

We order from here all the time. I love the fact they do half and half pizzas so we both are Happy. The broccoli rab is delicious. The rosemary wings are to die for. We even used their catering before. They serve way to much for but it was delicious. Several people who joined us that night now come here regularly.

Just ordered take out for lunch at the office and I was definately impressed. We ordered the Eggplant Marino and I am wishing there was more. It's not your typical pizza and that's not a bad thing. The crust looks like it's burnt, but it isn't. The Eggplant Marino had eggplant with marinara sauce and romano cheese. It was definatley impressive. They have a nice outdoor seating area that I will definately have to check out. The staff was also very friendly and courteous. I will definately be back.
(4)David C.
Pizza not bad, will probably return. We received a sample of free wings, which were okay, but nothing great. The pizza crust is borderline burnt (if not)- but like someone else said.... there's lots of signs saying that the pizza is well done. If you haven't gone yet, give it a try.
(3)Jim B.
Pizza is excellent, don't even like wings but their wings are unbelievable. It is a bit pricey but well worth it I think. Been there about 8 times never a bad meal.
(5)Adam E.
Not to shabby, high quality ingredients. Two friends and I decided to visit Anthonys for our first taste of coal oven pizza. We each ordered one beer and selected a speciality pizza that had meatballs, ricotta and roasted green chilies and another wih pep and prosciutto as well as a order of 20 roasted wings.( $90 with tip) The wings were done fast and served with a day old taste. (my only bitch) The roasted chili and ricotta and meatball pie was to die for. Our second pie was great too, the prosciutto was topped after the oven. I know why, but I prefer it cooked a litle bit. Next time I'll ask for them to put it on halfway done. This is one of those places you want to be the first to introduce your friends too.

Hmmm. It's smoking...Coal-fired pizza...sounds good. On the door, on the wall, on the menu...It says " Our Pizza is Well Done. Look around, many pizza's with a somewhat burn crust...many smiling faces. The coal is anthracite so it is clean burning..the oven gets really hot! The decor is nice but mostly windows and a large square room with a long bar and lots of pictures mostly of local sports. A couple of beers on tap, bottle beers, wines and drinks are available. A simple menu of pizza, salads, chicken wings and a couple of sandwiches. Had the coal-fired chicken wings which come out crisp with caramelized onions. The onions were gooood but the wings were lacking flavor except for a little char flavor and a little salty tasting. The pizza was good with a burnt taste which gave it a subtle flavor of charcoal...not overly burnt. The crust is thin as you would expect for a fired oven pizza. Had Italian sausage as a topping and it was kind of sweet..was hoping for a spicier flavor. The hostess and waitress where very friendly and helpful.
(3)Don A.
Great pizza and wings with some hard to beat beer specials. there pizza is a close as you can get to a pie in italy that I have come across in the burgh. wings are also done in the coal oven and covered in caramelized onions. great job guys!
(4)Matt S.
I thought the pizza was pretty good. The crust was super thin and I don't know a lot of places around here that do it like that. It was also a little burnt and I see that mentioned in a few other reviews so hopefully they will work that out soon. There are definitely way better take out pizza places in Robinson, but if you are at Settler's Ridge looking for a fancy looking place to eat pizza, this will do the trick.
