Anthony's Coal-Fired Pizza Coming To An I-4 Strip Mall Near You

Anthony's Coal-Fired Pizza is expanding at a break-neck pace. Not only are they planning to have 15 South Florida locations by the end of next year, they're also looking to break into the holy grail of the chain restaurant business: Orlando.

Anthony's Coal-Fired Pizza Inc., a South Florida chain of pizza restaurants, is looking to break into the Orlando market. The pizza eatery is sniffing around the region for real estate, according to Tom Prakas of the Prakas Group, which is handling the leases. As its name implies, Anthony's uses coal-fired ovens to bake pizzas in about four minutes. The Fort Lauderdale company has eight locations in South Florida and is reportedly looking to open five or six locations in Central Florida. The chain has no connection to existing Central Florida pizza parlors operating under the Anthony's name.
It's not that we don't want to share our pizza with central Florida; it's just that this kind of crazy expansion worries us. No way quality can keep up. Or maybe it can?
