My wife and I visited Anthony's for our first meal after arriving in Boston. We ordered the square Margherita and my wife got a bowl of pasta fagioli for an appetizer. Our server, Taylor C, was attentive and nice while the food was excellent. Everything was perfect Italian food and I wish I could have transported a bowl of fresh pasta fagioli to my grandmother since she would have adored it. The perfect meal after a long day of driving. read more

(Pizza score- ( 4 out of 10) I really love this chain of restaraunts. Really brings back the classic way pizzas were made, and tasted in the past in this area . That is not too long ago. I've always got my orders delivered..... it was pretty great. So I can't wait to dine in one day to get it fresh out the oven for the best experince. Typically I got the large pizza and wings.....My first batch of wings were EXCELLENT. I ordered the wings 2 more times it tasted like they were either taken strait out of the trash or were from 2 days prior which shocked me. Nothing here is cheap , it's very premium priced. So you would really expect the BEST. I did not get their best. Not sure if they saw the destination was the was a urban area and they sent me that crap intentionally IDK, IDC. No excuses when I'm paying. I definetly will not be ordering wings via delivery again EVER! They can send that garbage to another sucker in the supply chain. I penalized their pizza rating and earned star rating because of my bad experiences. ....it is what it is. STEP THE GAME UP HERE. read more

We went last night for a casual family dinner. My FIL chose it because he heard it was owned by Dan Marino and thought it was cool. It's spacious, has lots of memorabilia on the walls. It feels like a sports bar but the bar area is small and instead has a brick oven for pizza. The food was great - pizza was cooked well and tasted good. The salad had a little too much dressing, but that was minor. The garlic knots were really good - clearly made on site and loads of garlic which we love. I have young kids so they went for the Nutella pizza for dessert. I wasn't sure how it would come out, but it was really good! The strawberries gave it a lighter sweetness and balanced the Nutella. The meal itself was great. The facility itself could use some attention. The bathrooms were a bit dingy and the stall doors had holes in them - covered by cardboard for privacy but replacing or fixing the door would be the better option. read more

Anthony's has a few locations in MA but my partner and I frequent this one the most. It is located just off of I-95 in Reading and is on the road entering the Jordan's complex. Convenient, but the area can get backed up with wonky individuals when it comes to driving. The review is about pizza though- the main attraction of Anthony's. We usually sit at the bar and there is an outdoor covered-seating option as an extension of the bar which is pretty nice. Indoors doesn't stand out a lot as far as mood goes- it is standard fare but slightly above that I'd say. Honestly I find it a little on the darker side for my liking. The staff are usually nice though sometimes we get a few screwballs. Typically there's regulars we get at the bar and they are good people- particularly Joey. They should give that guy a raise I'm pretty sure he is a manager. The food- which has mainly been the pizza we have had, is amazing. It's fresh and oven fired in house and the taste reflects that. You can customize your pizza as much as you like and staff are happy to oblige. We usually do a custom garlic, chicken and white pizza- which I highly recommend. They have lunch deals too if you're in around that time and frequently send emails for pizza deals during the week which is a nice plus. Overall you should definitely go if you haven't yet- it beats the average house of pizza by a long shot. read more

Angela's coal fired pizza was much better. This place is dirty!!!! The food sucks. The chicken wings were under cooked. Pizza sucked. Who ever owns this place should contact the owner of Angela's cold fire pizza and take a page out of his book. One more thing watching the cook with the mustache cooking with dirty pans grosss!!!!!! read more

So I'm sitting in my kitchen eating the leftovers from last night for lunch, and that's what prompted me to write this review. Everything is still delicious and I honestly want to stuff it in my mouth and eat it all at once. When I was a kid visiting southern Florida in the winter, my family and I would frequent Anthony's during our trips. I am originally from MA and have never been to an Anthony's up north. This location was great - the food was just as I remembered. My partner ordered the hot honey burrata pizza without prosciutto, and when it came out with prosciutto on it, they didn't hesitate to make us a new one free of charge (it was an honest mistake anyways). I wish that the roasted soft garlic came with the wings. and I also wish happy hour was on the weekends, too. But the pizza is amazing (the crust is A+), the wings have this smoky delicious flavor I can't stop thinking about, and everyone working there was really nice. Give this place a try and you'll have it in your rotation, too :) read more

Good food, inattentive waitstaff. Never offered refill. When we asked him questions made you feel like an idiot. Got caprese pizza... warm mushy tomatoes on top. read more

Amazing customer service as well as great food! Also great atmosphere! There was barely a wait time as well and the food came out quick!! Also I'm from the west coast in a trip and I have to say this is the best customer service experience I've had here! read more

BEST PIZZA EVER! I was in town visiting and my friend suggested to meet here. I had the Margherita pizza and she ordered the Carnivore. Truly excellent pizza! The crust, the sauce, and the cheese were all delicious. Our server was nice and friendly and wanted us to sign up for the email list that sends you discounts, but I don't live in the area so I was unable to sign up. It is a casual atmosphere with wood tables and a corner bar area too. Easy to find and easy parking in the large lot. Just navigate to the Jordan's Furniture store and take a left as you exit from the street. read more

pizza is just awful. ! Dough is very heavy And cannot be reheated successfully. very bad experience. I choked on dough read more

Stopped here for lunch, sat at the bar. Bartender seemed rather overwhelmed and easily distracted. Walking in, we knew what we wanted to order, took ~10 minutes for us to be able to order. Waited 25 minutes for our food; the cook placed the pizza on the edge of the kitchen, but no one came by for at least 8 minutes to bring us the food within arms reach as the bartender was socializing with other guests (I strongly contemplated picking up the pizza). I can't speak to the food, as I left my friend to enjoy lunch on his own, as what I thought was going to be a quick lunch ended up with 40+ minutes waiting for food that was going to be cold by the time it was served to us. Absolutely disappointing. read more

The food came quickly and HOT which makes world of difference when it comes to pizza IMO. Our server checked in regularly, made sure we had refills, and she definitely made it a positive experience. The ambiance is definitely what you'd expect for a pizza and wing place - it was clean and definitely worth a stop in! read more

We have been here many times, and they are ALWAYS very nice, some times it's busier than others, but the team is ALWAYS good, the Food is ALWAYS cooked to perfection, and they ALWAYS go above and beyond to show you how much they appreciate your business. Last night we had a problem at home, so I left my party and ran home to resolve it. The staff there was so considerate, they placed a hold on my order, check in with the people that we still there, made sure they were cared for and OK. Then I called on my way back and they took my order off of hold, and when I got back to the table, the Pizza showed up within seconds of my sitting down. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Service! These people are excelent! read more

They let me bring in my chipotle burrito While my mom eats here That's the main reason I'm giving them five stars. However, the service has been very fast The food is good it's not cold. No random objects found in the food, ordered a Diet Coke. It was very cold with the appropriate amount of ice very refreshing, overall a good experience atmosphere is good however, there is a weird bald man that keeps staring at me little creepy. read more

Great food, good service and perfect Ambiance! I would recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner!

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is one of those average-cool sports bars in Reading where everything comes easy, parking check, food check, drinks check and folks here were easygoing too, check and check. It's not too dim like most typical sports bar, has a moderate amount of memorabilia to gaze at in a cozy atmosphere where you can come, have a glass of wine in one hand and a slice of pizza on the other. Coal Oven Roasted Chicken Wings- They know how to make delicious juicy wings here! Deep fried in oil? Not here. Coal oven is the way to go! I know a lot of people give them grief about the loaded caramelized onions they place on top of these wings but I actually like them. Plus, you get slices of focaccia bread to sop up the juices. Small 12" Traditional Pie w/ Prosciutto- Looks great but tasted dry. I wasn't impressed with their pizza. Overall Service: We sat at the bar and the servers were pretty laid back. That's about all I can recall. read more

The pizza was excellent here! Certainly one of the best pizzas I've had from a chain restaurant. The ingredients were fresh and everything was cooked perfectly! Service was a little slow, but I think they were understaffed when I went in. Regardless, our server was super friendly! read more

Had a small Carnivori (Meat Lovers) pizza and it was delicious. I was shocked that they put a ton of meat and the pizza held up really well. A small pizza will last you two days easily and it's very filling. Very happy with the place! read more

The pizza was beyond delish! All their ingredients are fresh. No freezers on site. Fresh veggies are delivered 4 times per week. Nothing is fried. Salad dressings are made from scratch daily. I know I sound like the owner and I'm not. Definitely worth eating here. read more

We had never been to this restaurant. We tried the mushroom pizza and chicken wings. Both were delicious. I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I took my family (10 of us) here a few weeks ago and forgot to write a review. I try to get the family together now and then, and just love this place. This is the 2nd time i've done this. I took My grandson (8 YO) up to see the men making the pizzas and they were so kind showing him the dough and the coals. Then, like magic, they made 3 of the best pizza's we've ever had! ;-) Service was wonderful by the same kind server we had back in November, and now it was Feb 8, and she took good care of us again! Service, food, ambiance and location are all wonderful and we'll be back for another Family night again soon! Bill G. Melrose Ma read more

What a scumbag restaurant . I ordered 5 wings as listed on their menu . What did I get 2 wings cut in half plus a half. I guess they think their customers are stupid. I would never order 2 pizzas as they would cut one in half and call it 2. I have added pictures on the left is 1 chicken wing , On the right is what they call 2 chiken wings read more

This pizza was a disappointment, My father had gotten a cheese pizza but it was cold, dry, hard, and salty some parts of it were burnt. This place will never be seeing my family's faces again. Seriously do better.. read more

First and last time ordering. We ordered 2 (16")pizzas (cheese and a carnivori), garlic knots and the meatball sandwich. Pizzas were the worst we've ever had. Sauce was bland and cheese was dry with no flavor (seasonings). For the price we were extremely disappointed in the quality of the food. read more

It's been a couple years since I've been here and now I remember why. After dining in when the restaurant was new, decided to try give takeout a try. Ordered a large pepperoni and 5 piece wings ($29 + tip). While the wings had good flavor, they were very soggy. Our pizza did not look like any coal fired pizza I've ever ordered...no color on the crust and seemed undercooked. Picked up our order very promptly (15 mins after placing) and somehow everything was cold after a 5 minute drive. While I do enjoy the flats myself, there we no drumsticks in my overpriced order of wings. There are so many other coal fired pizza places from Angelo's on Rt 1 to Jack's in Burlington to Frank Pepes in Chestnut Hill (if you're willing to drive another 20 mins) that there's no reason I'd come back here. If you're going to pay a premium for a superior pizza, you definitely do not want to come here read more

Went as a family for the first time. We do not plan to go back. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good enough to go again. We shared a family sized salad which was ok. My husband liked his meatball ricotta pizza. My son enjoyed his grilled chicken sandwich. My daughter and I shared a small margueritta pizza. It was good but not great and with such a thin crust one needed to eat a lot to be filled. Service was very good. Prices were NOT good for the value or taste of the small pizzas or the salad. Price and taste were good for the sandwich. We thought it was like a Bertuccis. However we wished we had gone across the street to Bertuccis instead. read more

Was expecting a better product, ordered a meatball and ricotta through ubereats, for the price, there was hardly any ricotta, pizza was lacking in tomato sauce as well. For coal fired, the pizza resembled more of a Greek style pizza. I don't know, it was okay. Crust could've been way better. Maybe the pizza isn't the star of the show at Anthony's. Not sure I'd go out of my way for it. read more

Every time I have visited I've been impressed. Love the pizza, fresh ingredients tasty sauce it's delicious. The wings are hit or miss, mostly hit but I've gotten over cooked small wings before. All in all a very good pizzeria. I'll be back. read more

After my most recent visit, I'm bumping Anthony's up to 4 stars. The pizza was even better this time around (the sauce tastes SO fresh), but what really won me over was the $25 dinner deal. For $25, we got our choice of appetizer (we got the coal-fired wings, which came topped with flavorful carmelized onions and a few pieces of foccacia bread), choice of small salad (we got the classic Italian salad), and choice of any small pizza (we stuck with the margherita since it was so good last time). Dinner was actually a really great value (which had been my main gripe about this place the first time around), and service was A+. I would definitely return for their dinner deal! read more

Pepperoni pizza Burnt on sides and bottom. Pepperoni was crisp and burnt. Salad dressing blah... no flavor. Chicken wings just ok. Not as good as usual. Garlic knots over cooked and bottoms burnt Not black completely but burnt . Very disappointed this time. Usually it's good. Dropped 52 bucks. Won't be doing that again anytime soon. Look at my reviews. All decent unless there's a problem. My family also agreed this was a disappointing takeout dinner. Not a fun Saturday night dinner what so ever. If it's burnt. Don't box it and package it. Remake it and see the product the way it should be made. I'm not dropping 50 plus bucks again for burnt food ! Not happy at all ! read more

I'm applaud by the way they treated us . Went there for dinner on a Sunday night a party 13 . They were so tried to us . The manager was rolling her eyes at us and talking about us to her co workers . She was so very unprofessional. Food was terrible service was even worse . They really need to improve in many ways like hiring a new manager she was horrible . read more

Just not as good as www they first opened. TonigHt we got a large pizza. Half pepperoni and Half cheese. I bet they put 12 pieces of pepperoni on You pay extra $21 for a pizza that is burned and $9 for 3-4 ounces of wine Just not worTh it Service waS fair at best. Thursday night 6:00 and this pllace was not even half full. Seems there days are limited if they don't improve. We won't be back read more

2 stars for service. Wings and pizza were good. Except the wierd gross carmelized onions! Not suppose to be grayish tan and slimmy! Perfectly good wings crisped up in the million degree oven. Then put a spoonful of slimmy onions on top. Are you shitting me! Pizza would have been good if I didn't have to eat gray slimmy onions on it! How much does an onuon cost? Only one way to carmelize an onion They invented something else! read more

Anthony's is a snug establishment with dimmed lights, TVs scattered about on the walls, and a bar situated on the side of the room. I came here for dinner and the atmosphere was lively and bustling! The first meal of the night was the coal-fired chicken wings, which was definitely the best part of the dining experience!! They were perfectly seasoned with rosemary and oregano- and everything was just so, so flavorful. The inside was tender and salted just right. A generous amount of caramelized onions (yum!) was heaped on top of wings as the finishing touch. Two pieces of seasoned bread (yum x2!) were served alongside it. Anthony's has a large selection of beers, which was a plus. The main meal of the night was the Square Margherita pizza, which had mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, romano cheese, and basil. The crust was rather thin, so some parts of it were slightly burnt and crunchy. A generous amount of mozzarella was topped on it (alongside the romano cheese) and it tasted whole and fresh. The basil didn't come diced (I wish it did, though, so it could be infused with the sauce or something!), but whole. I think the best part of the pizza was the sauce. It was sweet, flavorful, and tangy! I'd definitely recommend their coal-fired chicken wings if you're looking for flavor- they were truly the best part of the meal. :) read more

The food is excellent when you go in person. Today I decided to order delivery (delivery is via DoorDash). When the pizza arrived, it was a total mess inside the box. It wasn't just bunched up on one side, but the pieces were scrambled all over the box like the delivery person shook it up before handing it to me. I'm very disappointed, mainly because I know if I had gone to the restaurant, their service is perfect, and the food is perfect. Please drop DoorDash as your primary delivery company. read more

This place is one of my favorite pizza spots. The tables are always sticky but I think it's the cleaner they use because you can see them cleaning the tables after everyone leaves, it's not that they don't clean. The square margherita pizza, pepperoni pizza and pretty much any others are great. The meatballs are gigantic and delicious. I always get the mojito and my wife gets the cosmo which are always delicious but this time around the mojito tasted salty, like a margarita. The waitress had another made and it was delivered by someone else that stated, "this one was made the same so it's probably going to taste the same" and "have you ever had a mojito? That's what it tastes like". It was definitely made the same because it had the same issue, salty and missing the simple syrup. I had to ask if they brought a margarita instead of a mojito and I also had my wife taste it. Very disappointing this time around, but I will be back for the pizza. read more

I am very disappointed. I have been buying these Pizza's for 8 or 9 years. Always great, I mean great, until the last 5 or 6 months. Maybe things changed after the chain was sold last October. Very sparse, few pieces of toppings. Dough is more like card board. Bet they are not using double OO flour any more. Charge $3.95 for two small pieces of Focaccia bread, I mean really small. Looking for a new coal fired pizza place. Very sorry for this but I see the difference big time. read more

They did such a great job helping to organize a surprise party for my mother! I spoke with managers Adam and Carlos, who arranged everything, and then we had EXCELLENT service and attention from our server, Dylan. He's a keeper! Dylan was polite, super friendly, organized, and he remembered everything! There were literally zero issues and he even kept all 7 of the checks together. Also, the entire staff helped deal with our party of 18. Great team work! We even gave them all some birthday cake! Thank you all so very much for making mom's day special! We'll be back, many times! - Brandon read more
