Our Story
Discover the passion, tradition, and commitment that has made Anthony's coal fired pizza a beloved destination for authentic coal-fired cuisine since 2001.
From Humble Beginnings to Culinary Excellence
What started as a family dream in 2001 has evolved into a cornerstone of authentic coal-fired pizza excellence. Anthony's coal fired pizza was born from a simple belief: that great food brings people together, and tradition matters.
Our founder, Anthony Scotto, brought generations of Italian culinary wisdom to Orlando, combining time-honored techniques with the finest ingredients. Every pizza that emerges from our coal-fired ovens carries forward this legacy of authenticity and passion.
Today, we continue to honor that original vision while constantly innovating to serve our community with the exceptional dining experience they deserve.
