As a regular at ACFP in Wayne, and experience professional in the industry, we all know that everything cannot be perfect every time. The goal is to be as perfect as you can most of the time! ACFP does exceptional job at trying and succeeding to making sure that happens. As with any business, there are changes that are made in staff, and tonight we have a new girl behind a bar named Mary and her trainer Nikki. I've known Nicky for a long time she's always done above and beyond, and now Mary is going to be taking her place, and she's doing exceptional job so far, and I expect that to continue.! both of these girls deserve recognition read more

The food was absolutely delicious from appetizers to main meal. The restaurant was clean and a warm presentation. The General Manager was so accommodating. We had an excellent experience thanks to our waiter, Ryan. He was genuinely attentive, knowledgeable, and provided outstanding service throughout our visit. Ryan went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and made us feel well looked after the entire time. He also took the time to clearly explain how to sign up for the restaurant's reward points program, making sure we didn't miss out on any benefits. That extra attention to detail really stood out. Overall, Ryan's professionalism and friendliness made our meal even more enjoyable. We would absolutely come back and hope to be served by him again. read more

Imagine sinking your teeth into a lunchables pizza. After you bite through the cracker you begin to notice the lack of flavor and plastic "cheese" blending together into a bite anyone who's ever consumed quality pizza would have to choke down. The only difference with Anthony's is that at Anthony's you don't get a piece of candy with your cracker, ketchup, and cheese mix. From the three bites I gagged down I wasn't sure if I was eating pizza or voluntarily cracking my teeth so I could pay for my dentist's next vacation from all the work I'd have to pay him for from how overcooked their "pizza" was. It's not them, its me. I had a meeting in the city and the pizza place I'd selected to try was closed so instead of going downtown I figured I'd try and be healthy and go home and eat a salad. As I was driving down route 23 I remembered I'd always seen Anthony's but never gone, and now I know why. I've driven by this place for five years straight but never felt the draw to go in. Somehow I managed to find pizza in central Vietnam, Mexico, Hong Kong, and random red neck worlds in Virginia but the place right under my nose never drew me in and now I'm so apologetic for not trusting my pizza radar in my own backyard. The cherry to the sundae is their menu shows your traditional circular pies with 6 or 8 slices and then a square version. I ordered the 6 slice (round pie) Margherita and was given the cracker square pie. After being served I told the waitress I ordered the 6 slice pizza and she said that that was how they cut their 6 slice pizza - in 8 slices. In an effort not to insult the girl I paused, bit my tongue, and then she followed up by asking if what she served me was ok. Again, having to take a breath to not call her an uncivilized term, I replied that it was fine but its not what I ordered. Last thing I needed was whatever special ingredients they add for customers who actually speak up when their staff make mistakes. Then in a hilarious gaslighting move she asks if I want her to make a new pizza in a flustered tone like I'm causing a problem. I still left the poor girl a tip because even though she is clueless in customer service, it's really management's fault for not training her correctly. It doesn't matter if it's the day shift on a Wednesday, any competent management should uphold the same standards and accountability as they would for a Friday night shift. I love outdoor/indoor bars but even the diviest bar I've been to that sells bar pizzas is better than this place because you don't have to risk breaking a tooth while you eat it. Such a disappointment though I do have to thank this place for saving my carb and caloric intake for the afternoon - cheers to you for this. read more

I placed an order on Uber Eats tonight. Placed at 6:18pm and it had a 45-60minute delivery time. At 7pm it jumped another 75 minutes...so i cancelled the order and wasn't refunded for the entire order. UberEats says that you are still charging me $80 for not receiving any food and the delivery was still 75 minutes from being delivered. I had to feed my kids...didn't think you and Uber Eats were going to play such hard ball read more

It's been a while since I've been to an Anthony's Coal Fired and I actually forgot how good it is. I used to regularly go to the Clifton and Livingston locations which have both closed. First off. The wings are "state of the art". They are coal oven roasted which gives them a perfect char and a naturally smoky flavor. No grease! Get them with the sautéed onions and you can't go wrong. We also got an order of meatballs which are outstanding as well. The marinara sauce is well balanced, fresh and flavorful. For the pizza we ordered a basic sausage pie. The sausage and sauce are top notch. However, the pizza could have used a few more minutes in the oven as the crust was a bit doughy and didn't have any brick oven char. The service was fast. Almost too fast, and very friendly. We ate outdoors. But the indoor area looks pretty nice for a pizza spot. I will definitely be back for those wings again soon. Give it a try or another visit if it's been a while. read more

Ww went to Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza ,Rt 23 What a fiasco it was .. the staff were like chickens running around like their heads off ! People waited at the door for a table which there were 4 tables empty Some were seated but no staff came to take their order which they got up & left .. I saw a number of couples leave at the door no names were taken for a table. our meals came out while we were eating our salad.. that's a no for me Anthony needs the staff to be better trained & multi task in the restaurant business. It will be a long time before I go back read more

A consistent restaurant. Their name backs what they're known for. Eggplant Marino pizza is phenomenal (my favorite) Drinks are always on point! Love the outdoor bar seating, feels relaxing. I'm all for family owned pizzerias, most don't have bars, so if you're looking for a nice drink and great pizza, this is the place. read more

Found this spot on the website Fido since I happened to take my dog out that day and we were getting hungry. Loved that they are dog friendly. It was a beautiful weather day and sat outside. Service was quick and kind, I didn't catch their names but it was two gentlemen taking care of everyone in the establishment. I forgot to take a picture of the pizza but we ordered a margarita pizza and it was delicious! The wings, were burnt so I only ate one. My family ate the rest. The Caprece salad was delicious. Very balsamic forward but good. The highlight was the drink. It's a gin limoncillo basil drink (I forgot to write down its name but it's one of the new drinks) and it was delicious! Refreshing! read more

WENT THERE YESTERDAY 1-31-26 the pizza was COLD!!! I NEVER HAD a COLD PIZZA EVER!! THE service was slow and they had no wipes for your hands after eating wings!!! the waitress said they ran out of wipes & they were on order... Terrible place . The place was also so cold every customer had their coats on the whole time. The air didn't even smell like pizza aroma! Don't go there ! It was bad I wish I could give this place a negative star. read more

Good food and great vibes! My server ella Rudd was so nice and helpful! Great ambiance and even better service!

This store is like night and day to the Livingston location. We had a decent meal a few months ago in Livingston so we went back and it was horrible. After shopping on 23 and getting hungry, and wanting a low key place for a good meal and drink we decided to risk it and try this location. What a gem! The staff was pleasant and friendly without being obnoxiously so. The place was busy but they got us seated quickly and were fast with our drink orders and we never had to look for staff. The food was very good. The meatballs were round (sauce could have been a bit hotter) and the eggplant was good. The pizza was served quick and delicious. The wings were good. Keep up the good work Wayne. I hope the Livingston location can learn a thing or two from you. read more

Pizza was okay. But frankly I just eat New Haven pizza so I have such high expectations. The meatballs were good though, pizza was a bit too cheesy, would like slightly more sauce. Service was okay too, it was a new server so I don't want to give too much of a review based on that. It's a quick and decent bite off route 23. read more

I used to be a frequent customer here when Liz C was the manager years ago. Over the last few years your new management have been beyond horrible. We went there again last night hoping it would be good for a Friday night and I have to say, this would be our last time going. It took forever to get us seated. Your new manager was too busy behind the bar flirting with the girls drinking all night. Every single table was filthy because your bus boy sat in the corner and was just texting and a few girls tried wiping the tables with water which just left the table sticky. The table behind us and next to us had food all over it because no one wants to clean. A few more people walked in and started asking if they should just sit themselves because your manager doesn't step up and do anything. Unfortunately the families couldn't sit because the tables were too dirty. It's unreal. We ordered the large Margherita pie and wow, there was no seasoning, barely any sauce and just slices of cheese placed on top. The entire basil leaf was just thrown on top. What do you want us to do, eat the entire leaf itself? The dough seemed undercooked that cardboard would have tasted better. There's never any salt and pepper on the tables. We ordered the wings with garlic Romano sauce. Just a tip but you should put the wings in a colander to lightly coat the sauce with the wings. Instead, the sauce was poured all over the wings making it a sloppy mess and we each had one napkin to work with and no hand wipes until we asked. The only thing promising were the meatballs. Also, shouldn't we get new plates when the pizza comes out? We didn't. My husband had to use his plate covered in meatball sauce and wing sauce because our waitress was behind the bar as well. Liz C was the best. I remember when mini apps were passed around on Wednesday nights. Place was incredible and Liz loved that place like it was her own. The new manager you have now and the female before him are too lazy to notice that your staff doesnt do anything or seem to care. We won't be returning. Thanks read more

I have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years. What I saw today was awful! Arrived 4pm, the bar was filthy, asked the bartender to please wipe and disinfect. The silverware was not clean. Ordered the Happy hour meatballs, arrived lukewarm....the little triangle toast was stale. asked for a to go container, they gave me the cardboard box, asked for the plastic one and I was told they are not allowed to use them. When I left, I was putting the cardboard box I my car and to no surprise, the box opened. I will not be returning to this location, very sad.... Corporate - you are losing this one. read more

The wings were terrible! It's no wonder ACFP is disappearing. The place started out strong, but good service with declining food quality won't sustain your business. I ordered the dry rub wings, you tell me - does this look appetizing? It looks nothing like the menu picture! read more

terrible meatball pie, no taste and meatballs burnt. The crust was tough and loaded with flour on the bottom. Didn't have garlic powder/salt in restaurant? weird, wayne location read more

Have been here a handful of times. The service was terrible and the food was not as good as it has been previously. Our server took entirely too long to greet us, walked past our table multiple times before getting to us. There were 2 other tables in the place and another waiter too. Was very impersonal when greeting us and seemed annoyed to be doing so. Drinks took longer that they should have, 10 mins for a lemonade for a child? And bar drinks were longer. The pizza was flavorless. We sat with empty drinks while our server sat with his back to his tables and ate. There's no reason to neglect tables like that, and you especially should not be eating during typical dinner rush hours. This experience was sub par and suffice to say Anthony's will not be on my list to visit again sometime soon. read more

I've been here a few times for pizza even though they don't have any vegan options. The pizza is really good and so are the wings, even though it seems weird to put onions on wings to me. The coal fire gives the pizza a great taste. The pies are cooked well done. When we came here, there was nobody at the door to greet or seat us for a bit which caused a little confusion, but once we sat, the sever was very attentive and efficient which made up for it. It looks like they were doing a lot of take out business, but the atmosphere in the dining room is great for eating in as well. read more

It seems like every time I try to get wings here something goes wrong. Everyone is content with the pizza when we order - although sometimes it comes out very salty. But mastering these wings seems to be the issue. Fool me twice! read more

I've been to Anthony's Wayne before, but felt compelled to write a review today. After a long day at work, I came for a drink and some comfort food. I appreciate the bartenders created great atmosphere and connect customers. I had a great conversation with Jean, who has been married for 55years! After a stressful week, it was great to see that there are good in people. read more

Food is good. Especially for chain pizza. The wings are great!!!!!! My kids love it here so always a win!!!

You've lost us. Been eating at the Wayne location for a number of years, but when I went to order for pick up tonight I noticed that they automatically charge a tip for take out order. Are you kidding me? Plenty of decent "mom and pop" places that won't charge extra just for handing our order over the counter to go. Ridiculous. read more

Very accommodating to our group of 8. Delicious food! Clean and well decorated interior.

I'm was looking for somewhere new to eat. I actually never noticed this place but my hunger led the way. We ordered the Marguerita pizza and chicken wings. It was packed for a Saturday night, no surprise. The vibe was family dinner slash sports bar. For a small space they were able to add a large bar area that opened outdoors with some outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and nice with good service. I ate so fast I forgot to take pictures of my food. read more

Went for lunch after a long day's hike. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza (ACFP) has spaced out tables for outside dining and an outdoor bar with spaced out chairs. COVID-19 safety approved. We sat outside and had our dog with us. The waitress brought her an ice cold bowl of water before taking our drink order. Bonus points for serving the doggy. We ordered the Italian chicken sandwich and a Cauliflower Pizza with mozzarella and garlic. The pizza came out coal fired and well done, just the way I enjoy it. The sandwich had juicy grilled chicken, fresh mozz, roasted red peppers, and balsamic. Great decisions post hike. Plus, we washed it down with two Sam Adam's Summer Ales. read more

I liked how it was all Open and the pizza looked awesome. I wouldn't know however as no one ever came to the table after 15 min we left. I would not recommend as service was non existent. read more

We are big fans of this place.... Their pizzas are usually great. Our favorite used to be the Paulie with sweet peppers, until we discovered how awesome their margarita is. We ordered half plain half with sweet peppers, mushrooms, and pepperoni. I will say we ordered the same pie once from Wayne and once from Fair Lawn, much better in Wayne. ( just Sayin). And before I forget, you have to ask for extra basil on the plain side it's just that much better Their large house salad is always fresh, of course how long could it last if you take it home, we get that. I will say last time we order from Wayne, we were disappointed that there were no eggs in it. Their original wings are quite decent and always ask for extra onions & last but not least for whatever reason they have awesome cheesecake you must take a piece home. Of course, eating there is always better and taste fresher but I still always good to take out. PS: if you call in your order, there is a call in center, but ask for the location itself, and in Wayne ask for Melissa ( I hope I got her name right) she was awesome to deal with read more

I love this Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza because of the seating area outside. My boyfriend and I came here to enjoy a pizza with a few beers. We ordered the Paulie's Pizza and oooh wee. The hot peppers are no joke! You might as well ask them to not put them on. The waiter is not joking when he says hot! We thought, eh we'll just take it off if spicy, and we had to do just that. Other than the spicy! It was really delicious :) can't wait to return! Bathrooms were very clean and we loved the artwork! read more

Arrived here at 5:30 p.m. for a late lunch early dinner with coworkers. 1000 were greeted who were told to seat ourselves at a table that had already been pre named for the wait staff. Waitstaff was very prompt very friendly and helpful but the menu she asked how we would like our entrees to come out with appetisers. She was very intensive. We ordered the cauliflower pizza half with Margarita. I had a Margarita drink or worker had a widespread sir both were delicious garlic knots work to die for as well as wings. Based on Customer service I would give this place a 10 out of 10. Food food wise food was to be expected at least 8 out of ten. read more

Pizza was exceptionally good yesterday. Our server, Chelsea, was friendly and courteous. Love the atmosphere.

I am shocked at all the good reviews. We went there yesterday and got two medium pies - both were burnt to a crisp (black on bottom and on top). All the other pies that were coming out for other customers were also burnt. Every one. Additionally, the cauliflower on the pizza was great but they covered it with some sort of spicy pepper or something that made it very hard to eat. It was expensive and we threw out most of it. We won't be coming back. I only left 2 stars for service and drinks. read more

Love the cauliflower pizza and garlic knots. It's our go to for pizza nights. Wings are always tasty too

Great pizza place. Upscale sports bar/restaurant. If you like thin crust and crispy pizza, you'll enjoy Anthony's. If you don't, you wont. It's that simple. Their motto is "Pizza well done" in both senses of the phrase. For lunch I usually order the personal pizza with mushrooms and I couldn't ask for better. I ordered the cauliflower pizza today and it was fantastic. Loaded with cauliflower that's moist and sprinkled with breadcrumbs. It's a good sized pizza, a little expense at $9 but you're paying for the food and the atmosphere. Go to a small, non-fancy local pizzeria if you don't want to pay $9 for a personal pie. The wings are great too! I gotta try the meatballs next time! read more

Just left there after waiting 10 minutes at our table while other customers who came after us were waited on and we were ignored

I am a loyal and a happy customer to the one in Ramsey,over 10 years never had a problem, At this location in Wayne,I orders by phone a pizza and went there 5 minutes later,so I waited 10 minutes for the pizza and wings to be done,the Piazza was the worst I have ever had,either was so over cooked and dry,or it was ordered for someone else and was put in the oven again for me,it was dry,hard I do not know what leather taste like,but it sure felt like I was chewing on leather,the wings were dry as well,and salty,only the onions were good,never had one like that from Ramsey location,at $34 for wings and pizza,it was a bad choice on my part read more

Good for what it is, a casual pizza spot with a good selection of tasty pizzas and a bar. The remainder of the menu is pretty limited. How places still manage to get a liquor license in Wayne is beyond me but I was thankful for their $2 Peroni "game day" drafts on the Sunday we went. They also have 1/2 price craft beers on Mondays & Tuesdays. Outdoor seating in Wayne is a bonus, even if it's right on the parking lot. We sat outside on a cool, clear early September night and we enjoyed it. We watched the sun set over Party City across the other side of Route 23... Romantic. We had a 1/2 broccoli & sausage and 1/2 white pie. Both were tasty and satisfying. We tried a small order of their famous meatballs - they were good, but not as good as my homemade balls ;) The inside dining room seems really loud, based on the acoustics of the room Give it a try, especially on a night they have drink specials. The wings looked good, will try them next time. Still wondering ... Do the actually make the dough in store or are they pre-made??? Anyone know? read more

Wings were amazing cooked perfectly charred and crispy at the same time. Pizza is always good here never had any complaints. Our waitress Madison was great in taking our orders and helping us out constantly checking in on our table. All around an A+ experience read more

This was my second time at this location and I came back to order the same pizza. The meatball ricotta pizza is perfect. They put a fair amount of meatballs on the pie and random splatters of ricotta which is the way I love it. The flavors are outstanding, especially the sauce! Don't even get me started on the crust. It was cooked perfectly, not soggy or burnt. It was the perfect amount of crisp. Also it's not so thin or thick. Service was good. I would come back for their happy hour specials that they offer Monday - Friday. read more
