Our Story

Fired with Passion,
Built on Tradition

From a single coal-fired oven in New York to a beloved neighborhood institution — every pizza tells our story.

Who We Are

A Coal Oven,
A Dream, A Legacy

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza began with a simple conviction: great pizza deserves real fire. When founder Anthony first loaded coal into a hand-built oven in Bohemia, New York, he wasn't just cooking pizza — he was reviving a tradition that dated back to the old-world pizzerias of Naples and Brooklyn.

Our coal-fired ovens reach temperatures exceeding 800°F, creating a crust that is simultaneously crispy on the outside and pillowy within — a texture no conventional oven can replicate. Every pie is kissed by coal heat, developing those beautiful char marks and deep, complex flavors that our guests have come to love and recognize.

Today, Anthony's is more than a restaurant. It's a gathering place for families, a destination for pizza purists, and a community cornerstone right here on Veterans Memorial Highway in Bohemia, NY.

Our Purpose

Mission & Philosophy

Everything we do comes back to three guiding principles that Anthony established from day one.

Authentic Fire Craft

We never compromise on our coal-fired method. The oven is the heart of everything — its intense, dry heat creates a crust and flavor profile that simply cannot be faked or rushed. Real coal, real heat, real pizza.

Fresh, Quality Ingredients

From hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes to premium whole-milk mozzarella, every ingredient is selected for its quality. We source locally when possible and never settle for shortcuts that diminish the final dish.

Community & Connection

We believe a great meal is about more than food — it's about the people you share it with. Anthony's is designed to be a welcoming space where neighbors become friends and every visit feels like coming home.

What Drives Us

Our Core Values

These values shape every decision we make — from how we hire our team to how we source our flour.

01

Integrity

We are honest about what we put in our food, how we treat our team, and how we serve our guests. No shortcuts. No compromises.

02

Craftsmanship

Pizza-making is a craft we respect deeply. Our team trains extensively to master the dough, the fire, and the timing that separates good from great.

03

Hospitality

Every guest deserves a warm welcome and attentive service. We train our team to treat every table like a guest in our own home.

04

Sustainability

We are committed to responsible sourcing, minimizing waste, and supporting local suppliers who share our respect for the environment.

Our Journey

A History Forged
in Coal Fire

From humble beginnings to a cornerstone of Long Island dining, here's how Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza grew into the restaurant it is today.

2003

The First Flame

Anthony opens a small, no-frills pizzeria on Veterans Memorial Highway with a single hand-built coal oven and a menu of five classic pies. Word spreads fast on Long Island — the pizza is unlike anything locals have tasted.

2007

Expanding the Menu

Demand grows and so does our kitchen. We introduce coal-roasted chicken, fresh salads, and Italian starters — broadening our appeal while staying true to our fire-forward roots.

2012

A Full Renovation

After nearly a decade, we renovate and expand the dining room, adding a second coal oven and increasing seating to accommodate our growing family of regulars and new guests alike.

2017

Online Ordering Launched

We bring the Anthony's experience to your doorstep by launching our online ordering and local delivery service, making our coal fired pizzas more accessible than ever before.

2023

20 Years of Fire

We celebrate two decades of coal fired cooking with a community event, a limited anniversary menu, and deep gratitude for every guest who has made Anthony's their pizza home over the years.
