Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings is a fast-casual pizza franchise founded in 2013 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by Anthony Bruno. Inspired by Bruno’s New York roots, the brand built its identity around a 900°F coal-fired oven that delivers a distinctive, well-done pizza with a crisp, smoky flavor.
Its menu quickly expanded to include signature jumbo wings, also cooked in the coal oven, creating a bold and flavorful experience.
Today, Anthony’s is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale and is part of BurgerFi International, which acquired the brand in 2021. The company began franchising in 2023 and now operates dozens of locations across multiple states.
Anthony’s differentiates itself through its coal-fired cooking method and commitment to freshness. By avoiding frozen ingredients and focusing on artisanal preparation, the brand stands out in a competitive pizza market.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza provides a structured training program designed to ensure franchisees and their staff are fully prepared to operate within the brand’s standards. The training includes the following components:
Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza grants franchisees a specific protected territory defined in their franchise agreement. Within this area, the franchisor agrees not to establish or license another traditional Anthony’s restaurant. This protection is subject to the franchisee remaining in compliance with the agreement and meeting performance obligations.
However, the territory protection does not extend to non-traditional locations or alternative channels of distribution. The franchisor retains the right to operate or license facilities in places such as airports, stadiums, or through digital platforms that may serve areas overlapping with the franchisee's territory.
