Anthony & Luca’s Pizza Brings Jersey Boardwalk Style to Tampa

After a couple of years in the area, I’ve come to appreciate Tampa’s diverse food scene, from Cuban sandwiches to upscale sushi. But when a new pizza place is opening, it’s hard not to get excited. That’s why I’m thrilled to hear that Anthony & Luca’s Pizza Kitchen, a beloved Pinellas Park pizza joint, is bringing its Jersey boardwalk-style pizza to Tampa.

Anthony & Luca’s has been a favorite in Pinellas Park for years, known for its thin and crispy New York-style pizza and classic Philly cheesesteaks. Now, the owners are expanding their menu to include their famous New Jersey boardwalk-style pizza, which is cheese first, sauce on top. They also offer Sicilian-style deep dish, crispy chicken wings, chicken cutlet sandwiches, and a variety of Italian street food options like calzones, arancini, and pizza pockets. The pizzas can be built-to-order, and there are around a dozen specialty pies available, such as Hot Honey Pepperoni, Chicken Cutlet Alla Vodka, and the popular Piggy Figgy with fig jam, bacon, crumbled goat cheese, and balsamic glaze.

The opening date is still a mystery, but it’s expected to happen within the next 4-6 weeks. You can stay updated by following Anthony & Luca’s Tampa on Facebook. For now, if you’re craving a taste of the northeast, you can visit them at 4687 Park Blvd in Pinellas Park.
