Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza

Love it...pizza is delicious and reminded me of pizza up north...just crispy and delicious... service is always great and atmosphere is always relaxing

This is undoubtedly the very best pizza on the planet and from the beginning of time......at least the part of time where pizza has existed.....and I will fight anyone who says different. It's about 120 mile round trip from my house to Anthony's nearest location and that is the only reason I am not diabetic ,full of clogged arteries and completely broke because I ate there 10 times a day. This is not hyperbole or exaggeration (both of which mean the same thing) it's really that good.

This was my first visit to any Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza locations, which is odd, being as I consider myself a bit of a pizza connoisseur. My initial impression of the restaurant was great. Clean, neat, well-staffed and inviting. Permeating with the scent of pizza; I couldn't wait to eat.

Service was prompt and very courteous. They have a bar with outdoor seating, which was tempting, but I chose to be seated at a table today. I ordered a cheese pizza, in an attempt to sample the unblemished goods in their most natural state.

My order came out quickly and correctly. The pizza is thin-crusted with ample cheese and a fresh splattering on tomato across the top - a nice touch, both to the eye and the palate. It was 'love at first bite'. Perfectly cooked, you get the coal-fired crunch to start. The sauce was completely on point! Fresh cheese and fresh ingredients gave it the sensational one-two punch that you've come not to expect from a lot of other pizza places these days. No shortcuts here. It was absolutely extraordinary and I (embarrassingly) found myself devouring the entire pie in less that 10 minutes! ????

While stuffing my face, I was greeted by the manager, Jessica, who couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. We got to talking a bit and it only took me a few moments to recognize that this is a person who truly loves what she does and takes great pride in her store. There's a lot to be said for that and it's much of what drove this review.

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza earned themselves a loyal customer today, based on my overall experience. I will DEFINITELY be back again and again, and I can't wait to share my recommendation with others. Great job, all!!

Best pizza in Tampa. High quality ingredients used in all of their dishes. Highly recommended !
