Our Story

About Anthony's
Coal Fired Pizza

Anthony's coal fired pizza has been crafting authentic, fire-kissed pizzas in the United States since 1991. Our story is one of passion, family, and an unwavering commitment to quality in every single pie we make.

The Heart Behind
Anthony's Pizza

"Every pizza we make carries the warmth of a coal-fired oven and the love of a family recipe passed down through generations."

Anthony's coal fired pizza was born in 1991 when founder Anthony DiMaggio brought his family's Neapolitan pizza traditions from Naples to the heart of the United States. What began as a single coal-fired oven in a small Doral kitchen quickly became the region's most beloved pizza destination.

At anthony's coal fired pizza, we believe the secret to exceptional pizza lies in the process. Our coal-fired ovens reach temperatures over 800°F, creating that unmistakable charred crust, bubbling cheese, and deep, complex flavor that no conventional oven can replicate. We use only hand-selected ingredients — imported San Marzano tomatoes, fresh hand-pulled mozzarella, and premium toppings sourced from trusted local farms.

Today, Anthony's coal fired pizza serves thousands of guests across multiple locations in the United States, yet every pizza still carries the same soul it did on day one: crafted with fire, made with passion, and served with pride.
