Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza Comes to Las Vegas

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza (ACFP) continues its remarkable expansion July 2 by opening its 18th location in Las Vegas.  The newest ACFP, the first outside Florida, will be located at 6569 Las Vegas Blvd. in Town Square Las Vegas, an open-air shopping, dining and entertainment destination on The Strip.

The South Florida-based concept, which uses authentic coal-burning ovens to create “well done pizzas,” first premiered seven years ago in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The company plans to continue its significant growth throughout Florida and also is targeting the Northeast.

“Our Florida success has enabled us to debut our unique concept in new locations,” said Founder Anthony Bruno. “We’re particularly excited about introducing our authentic pizza experience to Las Vegas residents and visitors.”

Known for its high energy atmosphere and signature menu items, ACFP 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. Known for its simple and consistent menu, the restaurant will also feature its popular coal-oven-roasted chicken wings topped with grilled onions and signature Italian-style salad, as well as other Italian specialties.

Hours of operation are 11:30 a.m. – midnight Sunday through Thursday and 11:30 a.m. – 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday. In addition to dining in, patrons have the option of take out by calling (702) 361-7500.

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 the only South Florida pizza restaurant to be included in Zagat’s 2008 Top Restaurant Guide. Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza was recently voted Best Pizza by The Miami Herald/Miami.com’s “The Best of South Florida Survey.” The company also was named one of the “Next Big Chains” by AOL . Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza now has 18 locations throughout South and Central Florida and in Las Vegas.
