Anthony’s Coal Fired Nutrition Facts: What A Slice Delivers
Coal-fired ovens blast pies at near-900°F, which dries moisture fast and concentrates flavor. That heat also keeps crusts thin and crisp, so a slice tends to be lighter than deep-dish styles. On Anthony’s menu pages, you’ll see per-slice ranges by pie. Eggplant Marino is posted at 260 or 320 per slice depending on size, while Roasted Cauliflower runs 320–380. Heftier builds like Paulie’s Pie show 390–500 per slice. These figures make planning easy if you’re counting.
| Menu Slice | Calories | What Stands Out |
|---|---|---|
| Eggplant Marino (12" / 16") | 260 / 320 | Veg-topped; tomato-forward |
| Roasted Cauliflower (Square) | 320–380 | Breadcrumb finish; cheesy |
| Paulie’s Pie (12" / 16") | 390–500 | Meatball, sausage, peppers |
When a specific slice isn’t listed, a good baseline is a standard cheese slice from national food data. A typical large cheese slice lands around the lower-to-mid 300s, depending on thickness and cheese load. That context helps when you’re building your order and only some pies show a range.
Portioning, Serving Size, And Real-World Plates
Restaurant pies rarely match a home recipe slice for slice. Federal serving-size standards use “reference amounts customarily consumed,” which set the comparable portion for labeling. For pizza, the reference amount is a slice of a typical pie. That doesn’t force restaurants to cut in the same pattern, but it explains why calories are often shown per slice across the board. Understanding the reference amount keeps comparisons honest between different styles and menus. See the FDA serving size rules for the formal table.
What Drives Calories Up Or Down
Cheese volume is the big swing. Double cheese can add hundreds of calories across a pie. After that, meats pack the next bump. Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and meatballs bring fat and salt; they also add protein, which may keep you full. Veg toppings tend to add flavor and fiber with a smaller calorie hit. Breadcrumb finishes, oil drizzles, and creamy dollops move a slice from mid to high in a hurry.
Reading Anthony’s Menu Notes
Anthony’s item pages list size choices and, for several pies, a clear per-slice range. That’s handy, especially when you’re splitting food at the table. A 12-inch pie has smaller slices than a 16-inch, so the posted number adjusts. If your table shares wings, pasta, or a loaded salad, plan your slice count before the second round lands.
Make Smarter Picks Without Losing Flavor
You don’t need a spreadsheet to order well. Start with a veg-forward pie, or set your aim to one meat topping and stop there. Keep extras simple—fresh basil, mushrooms, onions, or peppers carry punch with little damage. If you want a meat-heavy slice, balance the table with greens and a big water pitcher. That small shift keeps sodium in check and leaves room for a bite of dessert if you like.
High-Heat Benefits
Coal-fired heat finishes wings and starters, too. That crisping step builds texture without deep-frying every item. You still get rich flavor, but you skip heavy batters. It’s one reason a table of wings plus a couple of lighter slices can feel satisfying without going overboard.
Sample Orders For Different Goals
Here are three simple patterns you can use. They aren’t rigid rules—just straightforward ways to steer your calories and sodium while keeping the coal-oven vibe.
Light Night
Split a 12-inch pie with veg-forward toppings. Add a chopped salad for crunch. Have one slice to start, one later if you’re still hungry. Ask for extra herbs and skip extra cheese. You’ll stay close to the low range in the card above.
Balanced Table
Order a square pie with roasted cauliflower and a single meat topping on half the pie. Share a Caesar and a side of roasted veggies where available. Most folks land near the mid-range per slice, especially when the veg side takes the edge off hunger.
Hearty Crew
Go for Paulie’s Pie or Carnivori and own the bold flavors. Build the rest of the table with crisp salads and plenty of water. If you’re tracking, budget one meat-loaded slice and one lighter slice, rather than two heavy cuts back to back.
Where Calories Hide
Oil drizzles and creamy finishes add up quickly. Ask for those on the side when the style allows. Breadcrumbs bring texture but also pack extra energy; a square pie finished that way tends to sit in the mid band. Extra cheese is the quiet multiplier—easy to add, tough to track. If you like a gooey bite, plan your count around it and skip a second high-calorie topping.
How This Stacks Against Typical Cheese Slices
National datasets put a basic cheese slice in the low-to-mid 300s. That lines up with the lighter menu options here and gives you a sanity check when an item page doesn’t show numbers. You can scan a full nutrient panel on a plain slice in the MyFoodData pizza profile. Use that benchmark when friends vote to split a plain pie, then add a salad or roasted veg to round things out.
Two Practical Tables You Can Use
Use the quick table above for specific pies with posted ranges. The next one helps you budget add-ons when the menu doesn’t list a number. It’s based on common patterns across cheese volume, meat toppings, and breadcrumb finishes. Treat these as estimates to steer your order, not lab values.
| Component | Calorie Impact* | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Standard cheese layer | Baseline | Start here for a plain slice |
| Extra cheese | +40–80 per slice | Add on just half the pie |
| One meat topping | +40–100 per slice | Pick one favorite, skip the second |
| Veg topping | +5–25 per slice | Big flavor, small bump |
| Breadcrumb finish | +20–50 per slice | Crunch comes with added energy |
| Oil drizzle | +40–120 per slice | Ask for it on the side |

Gluten-Friendly And Allergen Notes
A gluten-free crust option exists at many locations, but it’s made in a shared oven. That means trace exposure is possible, so those with diagnosed celiac disease should speak with staff and gauge risk. Dairy and egg show up in several items, and cured meats bring allergens for some diners. If you’re sensitive, confirm prep details before you order.
Hydration, Fiber, And Fullness
Eating pizza with water and a fibrous side helps appetite self-correct. Veg toppings add bulk for minimal calories, and a simple salad balances richer slices. Protein from cheese and meats adds staying power, but salt content can spike thirst; water on the table keeps pacing steady.
How To Track Without A Scale
Counting slices beats guessing grams. Pick your slice budget first, then adjust toppings. If you’re sharing a few pies, start with the lightest slice on the table. If you want a meat-loaded cut later, swap it for dessert or say yes to a walk after dinner. Small moves, big payoff.
Where The Numbers Come From
Per-slice ranges for Eggplant Marino, Roasted Cauliflower, and Paulie’s Pie are posted on the brand’s individual menu pages. Broader context for a plain slice comes from a national database used by dietitians and researchers. Serving-size logic follows federal reference amounts for labeling, which helps you compare a slice to a slice across brands and styles.
Final Ordering Tips You Can Put To Work Tonight
Pick your pie path: veg-forward, classic cheese, or hearty meat. Budget one or two slices, and round the table with greens. Keep oil and creamy finishes modest. Sip water. Enjoy the char from the coal oven. Simple moves keep flavor high and calories in check.
