Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza To Open Another Philly Area Restaurant

We love Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza and we're delighted to see that Anthony's will be opening another restaurant in the Philadelphia region.
Yes, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza (ACFP), the South Florida-based concept that uses authentic coal-burning ovens to create “well done pizza,” will open its second restaurant in the these parts this month. The newest restaurant will be located in Wayne at 309 East Lancaster Avenue.
Founded by Anthony Bruno, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza is best known for its high energy atmosphere, signature menu items, quality ingredients and of course, its use of 800-degree anthracite coal-burning ovens. Anthracite is known to be the “cleanest” of coals, burning smoke free with extremely high heat to create a unique taste and perfect pies. In addition to its famous pizzas, the restaurant’s simple and consistent menu features award-winning “Italian Soul Food” creations including coal-oven-roasted chicken wings with caramelized onions, pork ribs with vinegar peppers, home-style meatballs made from a Bruno family recipe, and Eggplant Marino.
“We’re excited about bringing our brand of authentic pizza and Italian Soul Food to the neighborhoods where people really know good pizza when they taste it,” said Bruno. “We’ve received a tremendous response to our recently opened Horsham location, and we’re very pleased to begin expanding throughout the Northeast.”
Besides Bruno, ACFP’s notable partners include Hall of Fame football legend Dan Marino. Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza launched in 2002 and has grown to over 20 restaurants throughout Florida, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Earlier this year, Anthony’s successfully debuted in Wilmington, DE and Horsham with additional expansion plans scheduled for White Plains and Carle Place, NY later this year.
Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza’s food and service have continually been ranked “very good to excellent” by Zagat Survey, the distinguished dining and entertainment ratings guide, and ACFP is rated as a “Top Restaurant” in Zagat’s 2010 Miami/South Florida edition. Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza was also voted Best Pizza by The Miami Herald and Miami.com’s “The Best of South Florida Survey.”
Hours of operation for the Wayne restaurant are from 11:30 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11:30 a.m. – 11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. In addition to dining in, patrons have the option of carry out.
