The cuisine at Antonio Pizza is all about classic Italian-American flavors, and the menu boasts a variety of options to satisfy any craving.

Despite being primarily a takeout establishment, the atmosphere at Antonio Pizza radiates warmth and camaraderie.

Pizza is delicious and fresh! I have ordered the party pizza and it is always a hit. The meat lovers pizza is amazing, and their prices are reasonable. It is a hole in a wall place that you have to order to go. They don’t take too long to have your pizza ready. Customer service has always been good.

This is a pick-up pizza place, not a sit-down restaurant. Prices are amazing, and the staff was extremely friendly. Their Gluten Free pizza was a great price, and tasted pretty damn good. They have other sides such as bread, desserts, and salads. Their salad was pretty good as well, and affordable. I will definitely order from Antonio Pizza again.

This place is amazing. There are many deals and options. The pizza is not greasy. This place is better than Hut, Dominos, and Mountain Mike. If you don’t believe me just look at the ratings and compare them to others.

We've been coming here for years. The pizza is always good, the prices are actually fairly decent in this economy, and the owner is very pleasant in person. Be warned that the waits can become very very long depending on if it's a holiday. One 4th of July I waited 2 hours for my order. Give it a try!

We love Antonio Pizza! My family and I have been enjoying Antonio (I believe it used to be called Antonious) Pizza since 1997 when we first moved to the area. He knows us by first name and often knows what we will likely order and how much--"10 meatballs?" he will say. He is a funny and witty guy often kidding around. I have a friend in Lancaster who knows about Antonio's. Folks come from all over. Antonio Pizza is a staple in the community! Antonio Pizza is the best!

Pizza is good. Been coming here for years. I think there is a change in ownership so may be a learning curve for customer service. Hope that part gets better.
