Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings — Restaurant in Pembroke Pines

I was there a few days ago. I visited Anthony’s on a whim. I had the worst experience ever. We walked in and we’re told to “sit anywhere”, and when we did, after a couple of minutes we were told to move to an another table. I went to the restroom with my child and my husband stayed behind at the table to place the order. I came out and sat down for over five minutes and was told (by my husband) that no one ever came to take his order, at that point we had been in the establishment for over 10 minutes. When our server finally came over we ordered pizza and wings, we requested that our wings be “very well done”. The server said that could be done. When our food came out the wings were literally white on one side. We immediately told our server. We ordered 10 wings 5 of one flavor and 5 of another. The server aggressively took 5 wings to remake and we tried to tell her to take the other 5, but she kept walking. Now if we ordered 10 wings and complained about them not being as we ordered why only take 5 to remake? When she came back we told our server that she only took 5 and questioned her, her response was extremely rude, she said “ okay” and walked off without taking the other 5 wings. We sat there trying to make sense of it all, and figured that perhaps she would come back with 5 wings cooked as originally requested. Instead, after 8 minutes, she came back empty handed. We questioned her about the wings, she said “ oh you wanted the other half recooked?”. We told her to just take it off of our tab, to which she replied “my manger already said no!” So we asked how is that, we just asked you right now! I then asked to speak to the manager. We watched her go over to the manager and speak to him for a few minutes, likely NOW informing him of the situation. The manager came over and we asked if he had known about the situation at our table prior to the server just coming to him, he stuttered and said “um yes”. We explained the situation and he said that he had no clue that all of that happened. And agreed to remove the wings. When he came back to speak, the server came to hear the conversation while standing there in an intimidating manner, the manager told her to “walk away”. He then apologized, as he was not aware of the service and told us that she would be written up. The server’s name is Darla. This whole situation was disgusting, we were not even greeting for over 10 minutes in an restaurant that was half full; our food was horrible; our server was disrespectful and disgusting; and the manger (Adiel is his name)even though he claims he knew of the situation prior to coming over, never even attempted to speak to us knowing we had not been satisfied with our order. The service was deplorable! We were the only African Americans in the restaurant and the treatment from the server was needlessly to say, unwelcoming! I will never eat at Anthony’s and will be sure to let anyone know of...

We had a wonderful experience at Anthony’s. Funny that we have never been here before as we frequent this area. Anthony’s is located next to Keik Bakeshop and Chipotle in Pembroke Pines. They have seating indoors and outdoors.

Loved that they went all out and completely decorated the restaurant in Halloween decor!!! From the entry doors, windows, kitchen, walls, ceilings, tip jar, random tables, bars and all. The place looks awesome!

Courtney seated us and Luis was our server. Both were very nice and attentive throughout dinner. Luis was helpful answering questions on the menu items. He was also proactive and brought over crayons and activity sheets for our kids, making sure not to include our 14-year old and asking if she wanted one too. She did. Haha. Luis was on top of the service and always tried to anticipate our needs before we asked. So wonderful. Courtney was very helpful too and assisted Luis as needed. Great teamwork all around.

This is everything we had at Anthony’s:

• Burrata & Prosciutto Sandwich • Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp • Pasta Fagioli • Chopped Salad • Broccoli Rabe and Sausage • Shrimp Scampi • Sample Original Wings for 1st Time Guests

My husband and I shared the chopped salad, pasta fagioli and broccoli rabe/sausage dishes. Loved the chopped salad. Super fresh, cold and good flavors. Pasta fagioli hit the spot as I wanted comfort food. Broccoli rabe and sausage had good flavor but was dry and needed something. Luis suggested a side of marinara and that was perfect, helped kicked the dish up a notch!

The burrata & prosciutto sandwich looked good but there were only a few pieces of prosciutto. Mostly bread, greens and red bell peppers. My daughter enjoyed it though. We ordered a fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp for the other kids to share. When the dish came out, Luis & Courtney realized the cook made Shrimp Scampi by accident. They let us keep the dish since it was their mistake and fired up another order of fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. The shrimp was great on both pasta dishes. I normally love Shrimp Scampi but I felt the sauce was a little more creamy than it was garlicky or buttery. Good but the kids didn’t like the Scampi dish as much. They really enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo and the white sauce was better for them. Both pasta dishes were fresh and the pasta was cooked nicely.

As first time guests, they brought out a complimentary sample of their Original Wings topped with caramelized onions. They do this for all first timers at Anthony’s. What a nice gesture. Wings were good and I like the caramelized onions addition for something different.

All in all, we had a wonderful dinner with good Italian eats! My Italian husband approves. Lol. Luis and Courtney made the experience even better and were very attentive and friendly. We appreciate the awesome service. Loved the vibe here. Can’t wait...

Greetings, This is for the location at 11037 Pines Blvd. We have not been to an ACFP for over a decade. We tried to visit the one in Plantation with my dad about 7 years ago but could not find parking. My husband and I would have pizza every Friday night for over 10 years with my dad until he passed away in October 2020. We kept the tradition alive but switched it up to Thursday's and we rotated within a few miles from home. We started venturing out to try new places. We liked the pizza last Thursday at ACFP and my husband was very happy with the sauce. The reason for contacting you is we were both amazed by the service. The restaurant was quite busy. I noticed the server was attentive and efficient. He was greeting everyone that came through the doors. He acknowledged everyone as they sat down. Kept his promise when he said he would be with them shortly all the while he carried trays of orders to tables. He was on top of everything with great presence. He was swift without looking like he was in the weeds. He was professional while maintaining warmth and hospitality. I finally had to ask him the next time he came by to check on us. I asked, "Do you own this store? Because you move around here like the establishment is your own. You have so much pride." He smiled and said no but told us the story of how familiar he is with the company, and he just really enjoys what he does. I asked for his name and said I wanted to tell anyone who would listen how much we appreciated his service. He is amazing. His name is Sindo Ferrara and his value and worth should be commended. You have the type of team member whose skills are not in any training manual. It's natural and worth keeping him happy. Thank you for your time and I wish you a very pleasant...
