Years of Coal-Fired Tradition
Our Story
Where It All Began
In 1991, Anthony Bruno opened a small coal-fired oven in the heart of North Miami with a single dream: to bring the authentic flavors of Naples to South Florida. Armed with a family recipe passed down through three generations, Anthony believed pizza was more than food — it was an experience.
Today, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza stands as a beloved institution in the community, known for our distinctive high-temperature coal-fired ovens that create a perfectly charred, crispy crust unlike anything else. Every pie is handcrafted, every topping is fresh, and every meal is made with the same heart Anthony poured into that very first pizza.

What Drives Us
Our Mission & Promise
Everything we do is guided by a deep commitment to quality, community, and the craft of authentic coal-fired cooking.
Authentic Craft
We use genuine coal-fired ovens — the same method used by Neapolitan pizzaiolos for centuries — to achieve that irreplaceable charred crust and smoky depth of flavor.
Fresh Ingredients
From vine-ripened tomatoes to hand-pulled mozzarella, we insist on the freshest ingredients available, sourced locally and regionally whenever possible.
Community First
We're proud North Miami neighbors. We give back to local schools, charities, and events — because the community that feeds us deserves to be nourished in return.
Relentless Quality
Every pizza that leaves our kitchen meets the same high standard Anthony set in 1991. No shortcuts, no compromises — just honest, exceptional food.
