Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza (ACFP), the South Florida-based concept that uses authentic coal-burning ovens to create “well done” pizza and chicken wings, has expanded its menu to include “Italian Soul Food.”
The new selections feature coal-roasted Pork Spare Ribs with Spicy Vinegar Peppers, prepared with garlic, rosemary and white wine – a family recipe ACFP founder Anthony Bruno enjoyed growing up in Brooklyn. The ribs can be ordered in portions of six and 12 pieces.
Also on the Italian Soul Food menu are new, large hand-rolled Meatballs with Ricotta Cheese slowly cooked in tomato sauce, along with two traditional ACFP favorites – Eggplant Marino, named for Hall of Fame football legend Dan Marino, and Broccoli Rabe & Sausage. All items are served with focaccia bread.
According to Bruno, the new Italian Soul Food items were introduced late last year in select ACFP restaurants as a test. Overwhelmingly positive response from customers prompted a company-wide roll-out.
“The spare ribs with vinegar peppers is a unique recipe that has been in my family for decades,” Bruno said. “After finally receiving approval from my mom, I’m excited to introduce it to our fans.”
Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza launched in 2002 and has grown to over 20 restaurants. In the past 3 months, Anthony’s successfully opened at Market Square Shopping Center, Wilmington, Del. and at the Horsham Gate Shopping Center in Horsham, Pa. Expansion plans include additional restaurants in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Florida.
Known for its high energy atmosphere and signature menu items, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza uses 800-degree anthracite coal-burning ovens and the highest quality ingredients. Anthracite is known to be the “cleanest” of coals, burning smoke free with extremely high heat. In addition to its famous pizzas, the restaurant’s simple and consistent menu features award-winning coal-oven-roasted chicken wings topped with grilled onions and Italian-style salad, as well as other Italian specialties.
Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza’s food and service have continually been ranked “very good to excellent” by Zagat Survey, the distinguished dining and entertainment ratings guide and is a “Top Restaurant” in Zagat’s 2010 Miami/South Florida edition. Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza was voted Best Pizza by The Miami Herald and Miami.com’s “The Best of South Florida Survey” and Best Wings by readers of the Sun-Sentinel’s Delray Forum.
