Another year has flown by and it’s Steve’s birthday once more. Deciding where to take him was easy. He loves pizza, ribs, wings, beer, and everything casual. This led me to only one conclusion, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza.

Located in the Dr. Phillips Crossing off Sand Lake Rd, better known as “restaurant row”, the food here is all done in their coal-burning ovens. This lends a unique flavor to everything that comes out of their kitchen. From the ribs, which are marinated in a delicious vinaigrette, to the chicken wings covered with caramelized onions. The pizzas, like their sausage and broccoli rabe or mini meatball and ricotta with their thin crunchy crusts, are to die for.

The atmosphere is casual with an open dining room. The artwork on the walls lends for great conversation. The coal-burning ovens are the center of attention. You can see them from wherever you’re sitting. The elegant bar with its backdrop being a wall of wine is within view.
