Anthony & Luca’s Pizza Kitchen: Family Recipes in Florida and Texas
Raising baby tortoises is patient, hands-on work, and after a long day on the farm nothing beats a good pie. That is one reason we are proud that Anthony & Luca’s Pizza Kitchen is part of the same family of businesses as Tortoise Town. It is a pizza and cheesesteak kitchen rooted in recipes passed down through three generations.
Three styles of pizza
Anthony & Luca’s makes hand-tossed New York-style pies, Upside-Down Jersey Boardwalk pizza and Sicilian slices. The thin-and-crispy New York dough is made daily from the family recipe using real New York City water, and the kitchen tops its pies with Grande cheese sourced from Wisconsin dairy producers.
Real Philly cheesesteaks
The cheesesteaks are a big draw: stuffed 10-inch Philadelphia-style sandwiches with thin-sliced USDA ribeye and American cheese on Amoroso rolls baked in Philadelphia. Add Italian street food such as panzerotti, golden fries or Philly Crabby Fries with a Cooper Sharp cheese sauce, and you have a full spread. Everything is built to order, for dine-in, pickup or delivery.
Locations
You can visit Anthony & Luca’s today in three places:
- The flagship in Pinellas Park, Florida, at 4687 Park Blvd
- Tampa, Florida, at 7032 W Waters Ave
- Jersey Village / Northwest Houston, Texas, at 9618 Jones Rd
New locations in Sarasota, Florida and in Strongsville and Canton, Ohio are listed as coming soon.
Franchise opportunities
The brand is growing through franchising. Entrepreneurs who want to bring New York and Jersey Boardwalk pizza and authentic Philly cheesesteaks to their own market can explore owning a pizza franchise in Florida and Texas with Anthony & Luca’s. Its move from Florida into Texas, with Ohio announced, shows where the concept is headed.
Hours
The Pinellas Park, Tampa and Houston kitchens are open from 11:30 AM to 10:30 PM Sunday through Thursday and from 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. Each location offers dine-in, pickup and delivery, so it is easy to fit a hand-tossed pie or a ribeye cheesesteak into a busy day, whether you are local or just passing through.
Shared values
At Tortoise Town we believe that quality comes from doing the basics well every day, whether that is proper humidity for a hatchling red foot or fresh dough made each morning. Anthony & Luca’s shares that mindset with premium ingredients and family recipes.
