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.
