4. Non-Refundable Items and Services

5. How to Request a Refund
We have designed a straightforward refund request process to ensure your issue is handled efficiently and professionally. Please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Gather Your Information
Before submitting your request, collect the following:
- Your full name and contact information

- Date and time of the order
- Description of the issue you experienced
- Photographs or videos of the issue (where applicable)
Step 2: Contact Our Customer Support Team

When contacting us, include all relevant information gathered in Step 1. The more detail you provide, the faster we can process your request.
Step 3: Await Confirmation
Once we receive your refund request, you will receive an acknowledgment email within 1-2 business days. This email will confirm that your request has been received and is under review.
Step 4: Review and Investigation
Our customer service team will review your request, which may include consulting kitchen staff, reviewing order records, and examining any supporting evidence provided. This process typically takes 2-5 business days.
Step 5: Decision and Resolution
You will be notified of our decision via email. If your refund is approved, it will be processed according to the timelines outlined in Section 6. If your request is denied, we will provide a clear explanation of the decision.
6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method
Once a refund has been approved, processing times vary depending on the original payment method used. The following estimated timelines apply:

7. Partial Refunds
In certain situations, a partial refund may be issued rather than a full refund. Partial refunds may be granted under the following conditions:
- Partially Incorrect Order: If only a portion of your order was incorrect or missing, a partial refund or store credit will be issued for the affected items only.
- Minor Quality Issues: If the food quality was partially compromised but still largely satisfactory, a partial refund proportional to the affected portion may be offered.
- Late Delivery with Partial Consumption: If your order arrived late but was still partially consumed, a partial refund reflecting the inconvenience may be offered at management's discretion.
- Promotional Purchases: Orders partially paid with promotional discounts or coupons may be eligible for a partial refund reflecting only the amount actually paid.
- Catering Orders: For large catering orders where only specific items were unsatisfactory, a partial refund may be issued for those items after investigation.
The amount of any partial refund will be determined by our customer service team based on the nature of the complaint, supporting evidence, and the value of the affected items.
8. Exchange Policy
Where feasible and practical, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza may offer exchanges or replacements as an alternative to a monetary refund. The following guidelines apply to our exchange policy:
- Incorrect Items: If you received an incorrect food item, we will offer to replace the item with the correct order at no additional charge, subject to availability and logistical feasibility.
- Quality Issues: If a food item was prepared incorrectly or did not meet quality standards, a replacement item may be prepared and provided, particularly for in-store or local delivery orders.
- Timing: Exchange requests must be made within the timeframes specified in Section 3 of this policy.
- Availability: Exchanges are subject to the availability of menu items at the time of the request. We cannot guarantee the availability of all items at all times.
- No Upgrades: Exchanges will be like-for-like and will not include upgrades to higher-priced items without additional payment.
If an exchange is not possible due to logistical constraints, a full or partial monetary refund will be offered instead, as applicable.
9. Cancellation Policy
We understand that plans may change, and we strive to accommodate cancellation requests where possible. The following cancellation terms apply:
9.1 Standard Orders (In-Store, Pickup, and Delivery)
- Before Preparation Begins: If you cancel your order before it has entered the preparation stage, you will receive a full refund of the order amount paid.
- After Preparation Has Begun: Once your order has entered the preparation stage, cancellations may not be accepted or may only result in a partial refund or store credit at management's discretion.
- After Dispatch for Delivery: Orders that have already been dispatched for delivery cannot be cancelled. In the event of non-delivery, please refer to Section 2 of this policy.
9.2 Catering and Large Group Orders
- 72 Hours or More Before Event Date: Full refund of any deposits paid, minus any non-recoverable costs already incurred.
- 24 to 72 Hours Before Event Date: A partial refund of up to 50% of the total deposit may be issued at management's discretion.
- Less Than 24 Hours Before Event Date: No refund will be issued for cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled event.
9.3 Pre-Orders and Special Event Orders
Cancellations for pre-orders and special event orders must be submitted at least 48 hours before the designated pickup or delivery date to qualify for a full refund. Cancellations made after this deadline will not be eligible for a refund.
To cancel an order, please contact us immediately via email at [email protected] with your order number and reason for cancellation.
10. Dispute Resolution Process
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your refund request or believe your concern has not been adequately addressed, the following dispute resolution process is available to you:
10.1 Internal Escalation
In the first instance, you may request that your case be escalated to a senior member of our customer service team or management. To do so, reply to your existing refund correspondence and clearly state that you wish to escalate the matter. A manager will review your case within 3-5 business days and provide a final decision.
10.2 Mediation
If an internal resolution cannot be reached, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith mediation before pursuing any formal legal action. Mediation may be conducted through a mutually agreed-upon mediator or a recognized mediation service in the United States.
10.3 Consumer Protection Resources
If you believe your consumer rights have been violated, you have the right to contact the following agencies for assistance:
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC): www.ftc.gov — The FTC enforces federal consumer protection laws that prevent fraud, deception, and unfair business practices.
- Better Business Bureau (BBB): www.bbb.org — You may file a complaint or seek dispute resolution services through the BBB.
- Your State Attorney General's Office: Each state has a consumer protection division that can assist with unresolved complaints.
10.4 Chargeback Rights
You retain the right to dispute a charge with your credit card company or financial institution as permitted under applicable law. However, we strongly encourage customers to contact us directly first, as most issues can be resolved quickly and amicably without the need for a chargeback. Initiating a chargeback before contacting us may result in delays in resolving your concern.
11. Store Credit Option
As an alternative to a monetary refund, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza may offer store credit in the form of a coupon code, digital voucher, or loyalty account credit. Store credit may be offered in the following situations:
- At the customer's request as a preferred resolution
- When a monetary refund is not immediately feasible due to payment method constraints
- As part of a partial refund resolution for minor complaints
Store credit issued by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza will be valid for 12 months from the date of issuance and may be applied to future orders placed through our website or at participating locations. Store credit has no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash.
12. Fraud Prevention
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza takes fraudulent refund claims seriously. Any customer found to be submitting false, misleading, or fraudulent refund requests may have their account suspended, be permanently banned from placing future orders, and may be reported to relevant authorities where applicable. We reserve the right to refuse refund requests that we believe, in good faith, to be fraudulent or made in bad faith.
