Menu Staples
What to order from the menu
The Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza menu is shorter than it looks. Pizza carries the meal, roasted wings sit right next to it, and pasta, salads, and focaccia bread fill out the rest.
Pizza first, wings second, everything else to round it out
At Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings, most good orders follow the same shape. One or two pizzas for the table, a round of coal-oven-roasted wings to share, then one familiar side — pasta, salad, or focaccia bread — depending on who is eating. This page walks through what each staple is for, and how to build an order for two people or for a table of eight without over-ordering.
Use the notes below in order. Start with pizza and wings, add pasta or salad only if your group needs it, and let focaccia bread do the quiet work of stretching an appetizer round. ACFP keeps the menu tight, so choosing is less about hunting for a hidden item and more about matching portions to appetites.
How to use this guide
First visit? Order a cheese pizza and roasted wings. That pair shows what the coal oven does.
Feeding mixed tastes? Add one pasta dish so the non-pizza eater has a full plate.
Arriving hungry? Ask for focaccia bread with the wings and add a large salad for the table.
Start with the pizza
Thin crust, fast heat, char on the rim.
Pizza is the reason Anthony Coal Fired Pizza exists, and the coal oven is what separates it from a standard pie. The crust bakes thin and fast at high heat, finished with char along the rim rather than across the whole surface.
Start with the pizza
On a plain or margherita-style pie the tomato has nowhere to hide. That is where vine-ripened tomatoes matter most — bright sauce against a blistered crust, with cheese melted just to the edge.
For a table with different preferences, one cheese pie and one topped pie covers most groups. If you plan to share across a crowd, ask for the pizza to be cut the way your group wants it before it leaves the kitchen. Squares stretch further for grazing; wedges suit sit-down slices.
Roasted wings, not fried
The wings here are coal-oven-roasted — a different product from the fried wings most pizza chains sell. High heat renders the skin and gives the wings color without a heavy batter, so they eat lighter and hold up next to pizza.
The useful detail: the kitchen serves focaccia bread with the wings on request. That bread soaks up juices and turns the wings into a shareable plate rather than a solo appetizer.
Order wings as a starter if you are sitting down, or as a second item in a takeout bag. For a group, a large round of wings alongside two pizzas usually lands right.
Pasta for the non-pizza eater
Every table has someone who wants a full plate rather than a slice, and pasta covers that. The Italian-American format keeps these dishes familiar: red sauce, cheese, and portions that work as a main course.
Pasta also travels better than pizza in a takeout bag, since it does not lose crispness on the drive. For a family with mixed preferences, one pasta dish alongside the pizza keeps everyone at the same meal instead of leaving someone with leftovers by default.
Salads and how they fit
Salads do two jobs on this menu. They give a group something fresh next to a table of dough and cheese, and they make a lighter meal possible without leaving the restaurant.
They travel reasonably well, which makes them a practical add-on to takeout for a family dinner. If you are feeding a crowd, a large salad is often a better addition than a second appetizer, because it fills plates that pizza alone will not cover.
Focaccia bread as the quiet value item
Focaccia appears as an accompaniment to the wings, and it earns its place. It soaks up sauce, fills out an appetizer round, and costs less than adding another main. For a group splitting everything, bread on the table changes how full people feel before the pizza arrives. Order it with the wings rather than separately, and it does the work of an extra appetizer without the extra plate.
Portion notes
Building an order that fits the table
For two people
One pizza, a small round of wings, and a salad covers a full dinner with room to spare, and focaccia bread makes it feel like more than a quick meal. If you want leftovers, add a pasta dish and you have lunch the next day.
The trap for two is over-ordering appetizers — wings and bread together are already filling before the pizza lands.
For a game-night group of four to eight
Two or three pizzas, a large round of wings, a salad, and pasta will feed most groups — and the wings are the item that disappears first. Order pizzas in different styles so the table has options, and add focaccia bread if the group arrives hungry.
Picking up? Keep pizza boxes closed until you get home. The crust holds its texture better that way.
What to skip on a first visit
Do not build a first order around pasta or salad. Those are good dishes, but they are not why people come to Anthony's Coal Fired. Start with a pizza and the roasted wings, then decide whether you want more. The same logic applies to takeout: a coal-fired crust is at its best fresh, so order what you plan to eat within the first twenty minutes and add the rest only if you know you will reheat it.
Questions before you order
Are the wings fried or roasted?
They are coal-oven-roasted, which means they cook in the same high heat as the pizza and pick up color and rendered skin without a heavy batter.
Does the focaccia bread come with the wings?
The menu lists focaccia bread as an accompaniment to the wings and notes it is available on request, so ask when you order — in the dining room or at pickup.
How many pizzas should I order for four people?
Two pizzas plus a round of wings and a salad usually covers four adults. Add pasta if the group is arriving hungry or wants leftovers for the next day.
