January 11, 2016.News

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, the South Florida-based concept that uses authentic old world, coal-burning ovens to create “well done pizza,” opened its second Boston-area location in Reading, Mass. The restaurant is located at 48 Walkers Brook Drive just west of I-95, near Home Depot.

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, which includes founder/CEO Anthony Bruno and NFL Hall of Fame legend Dan Marino among several equity partners, debuted its first location in Fort Lauderdale in 2002 and has expanded to more than 50 restaurants throughout Florida and the northeast. Anthony’s opened in Westwood, Mass. in 2015 and is planning additional locations in Northborough and Littleton, Mass.

“We’ve had great success in Westwood and are excited to expand across the Boston area,” Bruno said. “We look forward to bringing our authentic coal-fired cooking and signature Italian Soul Food dishes to many new fans.”

Hours of operation are 11:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11:30 a.m. – 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. In addition to dining in, patrons can carry out by calling 781-944-8454. A full bar is available.

“I recently visited your Edison location this past Sunday, and I would like to give your company a round of applause. The food was delicious! I can honestly say it was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Great food, great service! We will definitely be back!”

“I grew up in Pittsburgh, went to Pitt, and I am a huge Dan Marino fan! I have eaten at your place in Pittsburgh a few times and it’s amazing! We desperately need a place like yours in Nashville.”

“We visited Florida in February 2013 and upon landing in Ft. Lauderdale, we stopped for lunch at Anthony’s Runway 84. During our 9 day stay, we had Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza and [went] back to dinner at Anthony’s Runway 84 just before departing from Ft. Lauderdale Airport. You are to be complimented because growing up Italian, we never ordered meatballs outside, but we tried yours for an appetizer and have had them several times.”
