Passion Fired
Since 1991
More than three decades of crafting authentic coal fired pizza in the heart of South Florida — where every pie is a labor of love, every ingredient tells a story.
Born from a Love
of Authentic Pizza
It all started in 1991 when Anthony Bruno — a first-generation Italian-American with a lifelong passion for his grandmother's kitchen — opened a small coal fired pizzeria in Doral, Florida. Armed with recipes passed down through generations and a fiercely burning 900°F coal oven, he set out to bring the true taste of Naples to South Florida.
What began as a humble neighborhood spot quickly became a destination. Word spread fast: the thin, crispy crust with those signature char marks, the hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes, the fresh-pulled mozzarella — nothing else came close. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza wasn't just food; it was an experience.
Today, led by Anthony's daughter Maria and son Marco, we remain true to every principle that made us great. Same ovens. Same recipes. Same commitment to using only the finest ingredients — many still sourced directly from Italian suppliers Anthony himself selected decades ago.
900°F Coal Oven
Our coal ovens reach temperatures no gas oven can match, producing the perfect char and unbeatable flavor.
Premium Ingredients
San Marzano tomatoes, imported Italian flour, and locally sourced produce — quality is never negotiable.
Family Traditions
Every recipe has been perfected over generations — crafted with love and served with genuine hospitality.
Our Core Values
These aren't just words on a wall — they're the principles every team member lives by, every single day.
Authenticity
We follow time-honored traditions with zero shortcuts. Every dough is hand-stretched, every sauce made from scratch, every pie fired the same way Anthony did it in 1991.
Quality
We source only the finest ingredients — imported Italian flour, vine-ripened San Marzano tomatoes, and premium meats — because great pizza deserves great components.
Community
We're more than a restaurant — we're a gathering place. For families, friends, and neighbors who've shared our tables for decades. Doral is home, and we treat everyone like family.
Integrity
We're honest about what goes into our food, transparent with our team, and committed to doing right by every guest. No gimmicks — just real, honest pizza.
A Legacy Built Over Decades
The First Fire
Anthony Bruno lights the first coal oven on NW 87th Ave, Doral. The neighborhood watches curiously — and then returns hungry. The original coal fired pizza concept in South Florida is born.
A Neighborhood Icon
After five years of relentless quality and word-of-mouth buzz, Anthony's earns its first "Best Pizza in Miami" nod from a local publication. Lines form before we even open.
Kitchen Expansion
Demand forces a full kitchen renovation. We add a second coal oven imported directly from Naples, expand the dining room to 120 seats, and introduce our beloved roasted chicken wings and broccoli rabe.
Second Generation
Anthony's children, Maria and Marco, join the business full-time. They modernize operations while fiercely protecting every family recipe. The founder steps back — the fire burns on.
Online Ordering Launch
We launch online ordering, bringing Anthony's coal fired pizza to homes across Doral and beyond. Catering services expand to serve weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations.
Still Burning Strong
Over 30 years in, the same oven. The same recipes. The same family. We've served more than a million guests and our coal fire hasn't cooled for a single day since 1991.
