About Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza
Discover the passion, tradition, and craftsmanship behind every pie we create. Anthony's coal fired pizza has been bringing authentic, bold flavors to Palm Beach Gardens and across the United States since our founding.
Craft
Anthony's Pizza — Born from a Passion for Authentic Flavor
Anthony's coal fired pizza started with a simple dream: to bring the bold, smoky, authentic taste of coal-fired pizza to the heart of Palm Beach Gardens. Inspired by old-world Italian traditions, our founder Anthony set out to create a pizza unlike anything Florida had ever tasted.
Every pie at Anthony's coal fired pizza is fired at a scorching 800°F in our signature coal-burning ovens. This intense heat produces a crust that is uniquely charred and crispy on the outside, yet light and airy within — a texture no conventional oven can replicate.
From our hand-stretched dough made fresh daily to our carefully sourced premium toppings, every detail reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, craft, and community.
- Dough hand-stretched fresh every morning from a proprietary recipe
- All-natural, premium-quality ingredients sourced locally when possible
- Coal-fired at 800°F for an unmatched crust and flavor profile
- Family recipes refined and perfected over more than two decades
