Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza

We came in for lunch right after they opened (around 11:45). Staff was pretty friendly and the atmosphere was warm. Our server was short with us even though im pretty sure we were the only ones in the section. We ordered a pizza with sausage, meatballs, sweet peppers, and ricotta cheese. The pizza was good, i expected to be wowed after reading some of the other good reviews. We did feel a but rushed though, i didnt even finish my first piece of pizza by the time our server brought the check to our table. All in all it was good, and im glad i tried it to see what the fuss was about, but i don’t think I’ll be rushing back anytime soon.

If I could give less than one star I would. My husband and I didn’t even make it past the drink menu. The prices are OUTRAGEOUS. A small pizza (we were told this would be enough for one person if you ordered more food), was 12.99 for just cheese and 1.99 for each topping after that. Needless to say, if you want to spend 40 dollars on a pizza and maybe 10 wings at the most. Sure. Doesn’t include drink or anything.

Very disappointed. I liked the Edison, NJ store. The meatball pizza here was bland, the wings were tough and the staff forgot to enter my order. I think $ 30 for these two items was a little expensive to boot. I would not recommend this pizza place.

Great pizza and wings. Service sometimes a little slow but most of times not to bad. High priced so I cant give 5 stars. Attractive wait staff.

Excellent pizza, service and beer selection. I look forward to another visit!

Awesome Wings — check.
Amazing coal fired pizza — double check.
Great Service — check.
Needless to say, we love Anthony’s! This is our go to when we decide to eat out last minute and have a craving for something filling and familiar. We love the wings, and regardless of the serving sizes, we always each get our own pizza, because who doesn’t love left overs?
Everytime we’ve been here we’ve had a great time, with the exception of the last time. I didn’t let it effect my rating or my review, because I know it’s not typical, but I still think it’s important to mention. We were sitting at a high top table right across from the kitchen area, with servers constantly rushing by and in perfect ear shot of all of their conversations, which I don’t normally care about, with the exception of this time. There was one male server who was obviously flustered and irritated, and when he saw he had been given another table, this was his response– «G*d d*mn it, do I not deserve a f*cking break, J*sus Chr*st!» … not cool, dude, not cool. Fortunately he was not our server, or we would have been out the door at that moment. Our server was good (seemingly new, but good), and otherwise we had a good time, but that was a pretty shocking experience. I get that you’re tired, but maybe just don’t be an immature idiot next time, and be aware of your surroundings.
ANYYYWAYYY! That aside, we love eating and drinking here and will continue frequenting! Hopefully that one server doesn’t get too many tables again, after all, we wouldn’t want him to make too much money off of those pesky paying customers that are such an inconvenience!

Mediocre food with a good selection of beer. Service was decent, however they don’t know how to handle a crowd over 6. Pizza is horrendous. Cheese wasn’t cooked properly, undercooked, and the crust was black on the outside. Wings are decent, salad decent, meatballs were probably the best thing they have going for them and they probably bring them in frozen.

When there isn’t a wait, this place is great.
Food comes out insanely fast, pizza is DELICIOUS (the traditional pie is the way to go), the house salad is enormous (enough to feed 5 – 6 people), and according to my meat-​eating family, the wings are great.
Wish they had more outdoor seating. Also, their soda comes in bottles, so if you’re one to down three cokes during a meal (which you’ll probably need to– food is very salty), your wallet won’t be pleased.

I do not understand why this place is packed most of the time. The pizza is too greasy for my liking. Overall, it is average at best. I do like a couple of things and that is why I will round up to 3 stars. The pepperoni is crispy and very tasty. At times, I like the crust due to the coal oven.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Finally had the opportunity yesterday. We ordered a 14″ pizza with mushrooms, sweet peppers and onions. The pizza was tasty (nothing spectacular) and the heat from the oven gives the veggies nice crispy edges. The crust is thin and crunchy. There really isn’t a «sauce» on the pizza, just crushed tomatoes. Our waitress was attentive and very nice.
However, with us only drinking water, our bill totaled $ 25! For just a pizza!
We are glad we tried this place, but doubt we will go back.

On our adventure home from the Pirates game we wanted to eat dinner but avoid the city rush so we ventured to Monroeville and well how can you go wrong with pizza?
We were seated very quickly and the hostess was super friendly. We showed up on the right day because there is live acoustic music on Wednesdays and the guy was great.
Our waitress took our order fairly quick and the pizza came out super quick. We had a picky eater with our group so we just ordered the large pepperoni pizza which was good. Personally I’m not a fan of chunky sauces so I scraped the tomatoes off and on to my plate. I felt it lacked a lot of flavor and I needed to dip it in something … Anything. It was inexpensive and worth the stop to avoid traffic. I would go back without my picky eater and try another pizza for sure this time without red sauce and the meatballs other customers got looked fantastic.

It may be «coal fired» but I didn’t want to EAT the coal! $ 28 for a 14″ (large) pizza is waaaaay to much for what I just ingested… Plus grease!
Mom, where’s the Alka-​Seltzer?

Very fast seating, very nice Waiter and the food came out fast… Pizza was excellent as well as the wings… Wife and daughter loved it. Their specialty pizzas are awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!

Probably one of the best places my wife and I have gotten pizza from. The atmosphere is great. I got a couple of the mixed drinks and they were fantastic, and our order consisted of the personal lunch pizzas, two meatballs and the oven baked wings. The wings were cooked perfectly and the meatballs were some of the best I have eaten anywhere, and when we got our personal pizzas, they were significantly larger than what we expected. Toppings were generous, and the pizzas were deliciously crispy with just the right amount of grease. Our server, Bryan, was very friendly and accommodating and made our experience all the better!
We would certainly recommend this place to friends, family, and strangers. This restaurant can expect our repeat business!

Four stars because of the price. Yes the food is phenomenal. Yes they have a great selection of drinks. No the price is not right. They have a very simple menu, pizza and wings with salads. The wings are to die for, and the pizza is made to order. Don’t get me wrong I understand you get what you pay for but this is a little over the top. Parking is a little sparse, it is in a shopping center shared with many businesses so plan ahead. Also call before you go, this is not a huge place so they do go on waits very often. Good experience.

Our food was excellent! But we would have been happier taking it out. I understand coming in late is sometimes a pain but 9:05 doesn’t seen to count when they close at 10:00. Our server tried to rush use the second we sat down. We asked her for a few suggestions, and her reply was «everything is good» and walked away. I’m sorry I’ve never been to this restaurant before and wanted a few pointers.
9:35. Last call for us (as we proceeded to watch the bartender server others tell closing) Pizza came out and are checks did too. We weren’t even through are first slice.
I’m not one too look down on things especially cause we have all been in her shoes. But customer service should be high on any business list. And not just standing around with the manager and other servers waiting for us to finish.

So the first time I came here I was really impressed with the pizza. They inform you that the crust is well done meaning that the outside is slightly burn because of the oven its cooked in. I didn’t mind this seeing that the crust taste amazing all by itself. My favorite dish however are the meatballs served with focaccia bread.
The meatball is tender and just falls apart in your mouth and the red sauce that comes with it is just as good. The bread is warm and fluffy with a slight crisp topped with parmesan cheese and oregano. They also serve the with a side of soft ricotta cheese for dipping.
We ordered a large traditional pie and the toppings are $ 3 each and $ 2 after the first topping. That’s pretty expensive seeing that you can pick another pie with several toppings for only $ 4 more. We did however find out that mushrooms and pepperoni’s count as 1 topping so that was a plus.
They serve about 12 drafts and I went with a yards brawler which ahas in a 12 oz glass but it cost $ 5.50. Again that’s a little much. After order a large meatball (4 meatballs), a large pie with shrooms and pepperoni and my beer. Our total bill was $ 45. Not the kind of price I wanna pay for pizza so I will only visit this place every now and then.
I think the overpriced pie is due to it’s location and the fact that they are way over staffed. For the small crowd of 20 people, most of them at the bar, they had about 10 waiters and 7 of them were just hanging around talking. Not the best look for a restaurant.

Pizza and wings are great, but SO pricy. I have a hard time paying 20.00 for a cheese/​eggplant pizza. I feel like their prices have increased since the opening here in the Monroeville location. Also skip the Sangria… not great. My glass was like a a beer glass full of red wine with apple chunks floating in it. Gross.
Worth the trip if you have never been, but be prepared to pay as this is not going to be a decently priced pizza experience.

This is my second time in Anthony’s. Went with Friend so we did splitsie’s (I know, it’s not a real word but you know exactly what I mean).
We started with a Family Serving of their Italian tossed salad. It was really fabulous. So fabulous that I might have to call and take on home for dinner on my way home from work.
Next came the House Sangria, red. I am a sucker for any establishment’s house sangria. But I gotta say it was not good. In fairness, the server mentioned that it just ‘comes out of a bottle’ and is was loaded with fresh fruits. I was exactly that. Strong True-​Blood red wine with some chopped apple served over ice. ~Um, no… that’s red wine with apple pieces… we ordered a bottle of ginger ale to lighten it up.
Then came the roasted cauliflower pizza and we perked back up — it was enough to stop us mid sentence to congratulate ourselves on the choice. It was slightly beyond amazing and we enjoyed it thoroughly, with enough to take home.
Service was attentive and friendly and I’ll definitely be going back to try the eggplant pizza– Yay summer at Anthony’s!
Note: apparently YAY is not a word, either!

Super experience as first-​time visitors.
It was a pleasant evening weather-​wise, so we opted for a dining venue nearby with outdoor seating and this place did the trick.
Our server, Steve, was excellent and not only gave us drink and food suggestions as first-​timers, he also gave us some nearby tips for us as newcomers to Pittsburgh, as well.
We decided on a ½ and ½ pizza with Paul & Young Ron (Meatballs, Sausage, Hot or Sweet Peppers & Ricotta Cheese) on one half and Fresh Mozzarella Sliced Tomato & Basil (No Sauce) on the other half. Note to self and others: the hot peppers per my husband were very hot; I’ve not seen him turn down something hot before but after one pepper he had had enough. I, not into the hot peppers, didn’t even try them. But, otherwise, the pizza selections were very tasty.
Steve even gave us a freebie of some chicken wings topped with carmelized onions. They were quite good and I’d order them the next visit for certain.
To top it off, I ordered a sangria filled with apple pieces and my husband ordered one of the beers our server suggested. We were both pleased with our selections.
Oh, and have to mention a few items of note (more for me than others): While heading back to the restrooms, a picture caught my eye — it was Muhammad Ali from my home state of KY. And other KY connections were to soon follow. as I entered the women’s restroom, there were hunky men’s pictures all around. And, yes, there were George Clooney and Johnny Depp, again KY men. There were other gorgeous men’s photos, as well, it’s just that the KY men caught my attention first. What has that got to do with a restaurant review, you ask? Not a thing, but it did add to my delight which is part of the total experience.
