Where Every Pizza
Tells a Story
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza was born from one man's obsession with the perfect pie. Back in 2009, Anthony Moretti—a second-generation Italian-American from South Philadelphia—planted his roots in Wyomissing, PA with a single coal-burning oven and an unyielding vision: authentic pizza, the way his grandmother made it.
Coal firing creates a unique, smoky char that no conventional oven can replicate. The intense 900°F heat seals in moisture while delivering a blistered, crisp crust. Anthony understood this, and he dedicated years mastering the balance of temperature, timing, and the finest ingredients sourced from local farms and artisan producers.
What started as a neighborhood gem quickly earned a devoted following across Berks County and beyond. Word spread — not through ads, but through people sharing slices at kitchen tables and raving about that unmistakable taste of fire-kissed dough.
- Hand-stretched dough made fresh every morning
- Premium San Marzano tomatoes, imported from Italy
- Coal-fired at 900°F for the perfect char and crisp
- Locally sourced toppings from trusted PA farms
- No artificial preservatives — ever
