Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza

Salads are always fresh with a special house dressing. Great wings, great flavors. The pizza is just like my grandma from Italy used to make. Maybe that’s why I like it so much. Best in area. «Craft beers» are quite pricey! Be sure to check before you order, or not. Good servers, fun atmosphere. Would have givin five stars if they weren’t so greedy about beer prices.

Friendly wait staff, good sight lines, warm deck and decent food. Can’t wait to sit outside this spring.

Talk about a great pizza place. I went here a few weeks ago and was extremely happy with the food, service and environment. I ordered a large pie with pep, a salad, some wings, and a tuna sandwich. If you don’t like your food a little charred then this isn’t the place for you but I love my food like that. The wings where like none other that i have had before, the pizza was thin and crispy, salad was very flavorful and the tuna sandwich was delicious. A+ to this establishment

We had a lunch size pie with prosciutto and a meatball sandwich. Both were excellent. Service was very good as well. I enjoyed the craft beer selection.

Pizza is good, but I think the Robinson store puts out a better product. The manager should have closed the porch, the place was not very busy and is freezing inside. I am sure the other customers here today were cold. The server was very nice, I want to see businesses survive so they need to pay attention to all aspects.

Everything we ordered we loved. Brittany n Lindsay were friendly and helpful. Our first time here won’t be my last. Da bomb

Just decided to stop at Anthony’s for the first time in McMurray, PA. I have been to the location in Robinson, Pa before and was not to excited. However, this location was much better. The location is bigger and brighter. The staff greeted us upon our entrance and we were seated with in 10 minutes. Our waitress explained the specials and took our drink order. The salad was fresh and the dressing was not over bearing. Our pizza was a basic split half mushroom and sausage. The pizza was hot and delicious. Also, the staff kept out glasses filled. Over all I would recommend this location and will go back. Finally, there are 10 pizza locations within 2 miles, so the competition is high for pizza and subs

First off, i have been to many anthonys across south Florida and this place was definitely on par. The only thing different was that they didn’t char the crust like normal coal fired pizza, probably because of the pictures other reviewers have posted as «burnt» (its not). We ordered a side of foccacia and a caprese salad, both of which came out promptly. We ordered a large traditional pizza with an extra side of marinara. Our server brought two with extra basil. All the food was good, the cheese was very high quality, and service was awesome!

Love the pizza. Meatballs are always amazing! My husband and I drive all the way from Clairton to eat here. The service is always great. Love live band nights too.

I was pleased to be able to secure a table outside without waiting, particularly as the indoor dining room was packed with diners, the tables too close to each other. The spacing of the outdoor seating is satisfactory, but it was very loud, in part because it is not exactly outdoor seating; there is a barrier between the dining area and the actual outdoors, which keeps loud voices circulating.
Although our $ 45+ check is hefty for a meal centered around pizza, you get what you pay for and I cannot truly complain. Our large 16″ Philadelphia cheesesteak pizza was $ 19.99 and it was delicious: done to perfection and tasty, the crust having the consistency of a cracker. I like that there is fine grated cheese at the table. We had a family size salad, $ 9.99, which was satisfactory, containing nice greens, chickpeas, slices of egg, tomato slices, a small hint of onion, in the house Italian dressing. I would have liked mushrooms, carrots, croutons, more onion, and an offer of ground pepper, which was not made.
I was delightfully surprised to find that my excellent draft beer was priced at $ 5.00 including a souvenir glass, a bargain!
The menu is in need of expansion. There are no appetizers per se. Something like fried zucchini, which is a Pittsburgh staple, would be welcome. If the restaurant is going to offer an eggplant entrée and a meatball dish, pastas should be added; there currently are none. Dessert is limited to cheesecake and we were not asked if we wanted it before being presented with the check. The service overall, though, was commendable. The waitress was pleasant, welcoming, efficient, and she performed quality checks.
In summary, the food was good, the price hefty, but fair. The noise level was loud and the atmosphere was not one which provided for relaxation.

Honestly, not very impressed with this place. The younger blonde at the front is unfriendly and doesn’t seem to want to do any work. The other younger girl seems pretty clueless. The older lady is friendly and doing most of the work. Their menu lacks. Our waitress was pretty clueless and unhelpful. I won’t be returning.

Both times I have been there the service was bad. Not really crazy about the food either. Price reflects the area… little pricey for a family

The food night be good but I would never know since they gave me a menu and then never came back to take my order. I waited about 10 minutes before I decided I couldn’t take the crappy high school jazz piano music on an empty stomach.

I’ve been on a bit of a pizza discovery trajectory these days. I’m planning a trip to AZ for what is supposed to be the holy grail in February and have recently just finished a trip to CT to what is supposed to be benchmark coal fired pizza places. I have even built a brick insert to my oven and have been experimenting. Sometimes I really want the gooey pizza of my youth. That thick saucy and cheesy soft pizza that seems to be the easiest to find. The newest wave are the wood and coal fired «authentic» pies of which this chain falls. I’m judging it among it’s peers and this type.
I ordered the classic with half olives and half mushrooms. I liked the sauce and it had a good amount of cheese for me. The olives were way too salty. I know that kalamata olives are salty but these were not palatable. I buy them and eat them a lot. They should rinse these or get another vendor for them. This wasn’t my real issue with this pie. It was the crust. It’s tantamount to me for a great pie, especially this kind of pie. It’s overworked. They’ve forced all the air from the dough and it doesn’t have any pockets left. When you do this it turns cardboard-​like and it also affects the flavor. Handle your properly fermented dough carefully and you get a light, airy yet crispy and chewy flavorful crust. Serious swing and a miss here on this.
The small salad is enough for 2 to share and was very good. The menu is really nice and I like the place a lot. There wasn’t a service issue as so many other reviews have mentioned and our pizza wasn’t burnt and in fact could have gone another 30 seconds or so. There are a lot of choices in the area for pizza. This place doesn’t hold a candle to Harry’s so I don’t think I would return. The do have some interesting lunch specials in the form of salads and sandwiches so perhaps I would try those or maybe even the chicken wings. I’m not a big fan of chains so I’m leaning toward forgetting about this place.

Ambiance: upscale pub; fire pit outside with ample seating, cozy inside with a nice little bar and kitschy décor.
Pizza: Delicious and crispy, but does not reheat well. The Eggplant and white pizzas are my favorite, but all the toppings are good quality and delicious. I also really like the wings — they are plain, breaded wings without sauce or anything fancy, just deliciously prepared with sauteed onions. Numerous craft beers on draft. A very good place!

I wish Unilocal had a rating out of 10, I would give this place 7/7.2 out of 10.
It is a classier pizza joint with craft beers, they used coal fired ovens and the venue is very new and clean.
As expected a large pizza is 20 dollars and they have interesting specialty pizza combinations! We got the tomato and basil pizza which tasted quite delicious.
The server was very nice, pretty tentative, and her recommendation was definitely a good go to.

Stopped in with a party of four. Had a white pizza (incredible) a meatball and ricotta pizza (quite good) a house salad (delightful) and 10 wings (meh)
The white pizza was spot on. No complaints. Go and get one now. The meatball and ricotta pizza was a little soggy, but all the flavors hung together very well. The sauce wasn’t overwhelming and the meatballs were seasoned perfectly. The salad was great. Very basic with a lovely dressing and fresh mozzarella on the side. The wings were dry and a bit flavorless. The sautéed onions were interesting, but didn’t add much to the whole shebang.
The interior was nice. It was full but everyone was relaxed and quiet, with the notable exception of the staff. At all times there were a large group of staff cluttered around the kitchen shouting at each other and just hanging around. I only saw two or three of them ever going out to check on tables and the rest just mulled around aimlessly. It’s a shame because it marred an otherwise lovely dinner.
Also, they don’t know the difference between sweet tea and tea with lemon. Fun!
Come for the incredible pizza, but get it to go, unless you like the sound of shouting teenagers in which case, I can’t help you.

Excellent pizza. However, this place really needs to decide what direction it is going in. Elegant dining or Pizza Hut? Décor is very nice. Plates and cups are tacky plastic. Drinks are by the bottle only… not fountain. $ 2.75 per drink. guest pour our own drinks. Waitstaff was friendly enough but not very attentive. Prices are very high. No happy hour. For the price point (over $ 15 per pizza) I expect A+ service, real plates/​napkins/​cups etc, drink refills. The pizza is excellent. Sadly, the while package just doesn’t cut it.

As advertised, the pizza is well done. More on that later. The wife and I started with a small order of wings (10). From what we understand, the banana peppers are the entire pepper, so we opted not get them. The wings came out very quickly and were delicious. They come with sauteed onions and focaccia bread. There is no option for sauces, rubs, or ranch/​bleu cheese; they come one way and that’s it.
I would be remiss not to mention the craft beers that they have on tap. The wife had a Full Pint White Lightning and I had the Helltown. Since both brews are locally made, I consider this a huge plus. I should point out that all craft beers are half-​price on Mondays & Tuesday. I am used to «getting what you pay for» with craft beers, but half-​priced Mondays & Tuesdays will seal the deal for when I visit again.
The main entrée: a small pepperoni pizza. Six slices with a generous amount of topping. Yes, the ends of the crust are blackened from the coal-​fired oven, but there is no shortage of warnings about this before you order. I should also mention here that the wait-​staff does an excellent job of describing how everything is prepared prior to ordering. Definitely a plus for the first-​timers.
The atmosphere was bustling and there was a line at the door by 5pm on a Saturday. Be prepared to wait during regular dining hours, and whenever you visit, bring your pocketbook. It’s all delicious, but definitely not cheap.

«Pizza Well Done» is the motto. Yes it is. Our pizza crust was burnt. It you like to taste coal and burnt char the crust may suffice. The pizza was pretty good. Only one piece had a burnt bottom. But I prefer my pizza not burnt on the crust. So will probably look for some of my other fave places in the future.
The bar and patio are nice. A little loud in the bar.
