TAMPA, Fla. - CuisineWire -- Anthony & Luca's Pizza Kitchen is taking its New York slices, Jersey Boardwalk pies and real ribeye Philly cheesesteaks to more neighborhoods. Following its Tampa and Jersey Village/Houston openings, the brand announces four new Florida locations, including Sarasota, and four Ohio locations, including Strongsville and Canton, coming soon, bringing the flavors of New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia to new cities.

The Tampa restaurant opened October 20, 2026, at 7032 W Waters Ave. Owned by New Jersey transplants Kevin Seelig and family, it brings a personal taste of home to northwest Tampa. In Texas, franchisee Arnold Baxter, a local Houston entrepreneur, opened the Jersey Village-area kitchen in June 2026 at 9618 Jones Rd, Houston.

Additional city names and opening dates for the eight planned restaurants will be announced as development progresses, introducing Ohio diners to a menu rooted in three generations of family recipes.

At the center of that menu: hand-tossed pizza and cheesesteaks that share the spotlight. Thin-and-crispy New York pizza starts with dough made using real New York City water, topped with Grande whole-milk mozzarella, house plum-tomato marinara and pecorino romano. Jersey Boardwalk style puts cheese first and sauce on top; Sicilian goes deep dish and fried in the pan. The Spicy Vodka Roni adds creamy vodka sauce, cup-and-char pepperoni and hot honey ricotta.

Philly brings its own unmistakable bite: thin-sliced USDA ribeye, sautéed onions and melting Cooper Sharp American on toasted Philadelphia rolls. The Guido layers fried Italian chicken cutlet, vodka sauce, burrata, cup-and-char pepperoni and hot honey on a seeded South Philly roll. Calzones, panzerotti and wings round it out.
