Love coming here for their pizzas. Not sure what it is, I think it's their red sauce I really enjoy. My favorite to get is the bacon pizza. However, there was one time I had called to order for pickup and asked for a bacon pizza pie. A female had picked up the phone and told me they can't make it for me. Super weird and suspicious as my man bought a bacon pizza pie the week prior and no one refused him. To make sure I wasn't going crazy, I had my bf go back to order a few days later and the guys there did not blink & made us the most delicious bacon pie. Not sure why I was refused but Antonio's should train their employees a bit better. Lost a star because of that BUT the pizza makes up for it. read more

We've been on a mission looking for a great pizza. Antonio's brick oven pizza hit the spot. The crust was perfectly browned and crunchy. The sauce had great flavor. Pizza had the perfect amount of cheese. We ordered a side of meatballs. They were very good, too. The staff was friendly and provided great service. We will definitely come back. read more

PROs - service , pizza , priced fine CONs - nothing much except parking . Was in metuchen area and wanted to pick pizzas and strombolis and went here . Good interiors and chairs inside to sit and eat . There are also a couple of tables outside to enjoy the cool breeze . Nice and quick service . We ordered a Stromboli (cheese and spinach) , pizza and cheese freschetta. They made them quick and it tasted good . Parking is the only issue here . Main Street is busy and tough to get parking . There are some paid parking on the backside .. today we luckily got a free parking on the main road . Nice experience overall. Pizzas and Strombolis tasted good . Paid about 16$ for all 3, which isn't bad . read more

Amazing service. Ordered through door dash but door dash cancelled so they personally delivered even though we were out of the area. The margerita is amazing. Finally some pizza with real substance and integrity. Loved the the unique flavors of their crushed finished off with their wood fire plus their sauce olive oil basil combo with the fresh mozzarella. The entire family loved this! Thank you so much read more

my wife and I stopped by for some slices to go with the wine we brought in. Pizza was really good and the guy and girl working there were polite, helpful and friendly. It made for a nice (and low budget :-) dinner. read more

I'm here for the pizza - could care less for the ambiance. Small shop that has seating inside and outside on the curb. Not a huge showcase but 6 pies were available for slices - they'll definitely make you a pie or a sub. I didn't look at the menu but it looked like a trifold with choices on the back of the menu too. Guy at the front was friendly and when I asked if they would deliver to the town over, he looked to the driver and he said yes. I think I just found another spot for pizza. I forgot to check in last night but I ordered the same thing, a traditional plain slice. Nice effing crunch - I have been searching for this quality for a bit (see my other pizza reviews). I will definitely be back! read more

My boyfriend ordered takeout through Grubhub. He ordered me spaghetti with garlic and oil and asked them not to put cheese, marked it as an allergy because I cannot digest dairy. Well, it arrived full of cheese. I ate two mouthfuls before I realized it and stopped. He called them to confirm, they indeed put cheese in my meal even though he said "NO CHEESE DAIRY ALLERGY" on the note. The manager was extremely rude and said complain to Grubhub. The note was there, they just never read it. If I hadn't stopped eating, I would have been sick for days. Even right now I feel incredibly nauseous. Very careless and very rude. They could kill someone. Glad Grubhub gave him the refund. read more

Chicken Parm hero is actually amazing. 10/10 will continue to come here. Also, it's actually huge, definitely enough for 2 people.

I stop here for a slice whenever I'm in Metuchen. The crust is thin and crispy and the cheese and sauce perfect old school pizza. I have eaten a lot of slices over the years and theirs is high on my list. read more

The girl who took my order is as smart as a box of hammers I had to explain my order to her three times and it was the basic simple order they need to get rid of her and have somebody who understands what the customer is talking about obviously she doesn't understand what the customer they're talking about when they're ordering a pizza read more

Whoever is taking the orders at this place is horrible I had to explain three times what I wanted and where I wanted it delivered to I got hung up on and then when I called back the girl left that's sad I'm a new customer they can forget about me ordering from them again read more

The service was amazing! The lady behind the counter was polite and gave us wine glasses. The only reason for the 4 stars is because we REALLY Wished they had ice for the water. The charcuterie board was delish! (It was ham, salami & cheese rollups on a bed of lettuce) The BIG calzone was full of ricotta, mozzarella and sausage (which is what we ordered) The pizza was flat and slightly charred (brick oven style) was pretty tasty too! read more

Great pizza! Love the Classico and Sicilian pizza and the garlic nuts are delicious. I like to grab a few slices here and head down the street to What's the Scoop for some ice cream. read more

The pizza was great!!! I highly recommend it here The place is clean and has outdoor seating read more

Broken glass in my food and the owner was just icing on the cake. A few months back, I ordered food for my wife and kids. During dinner, I chomped on a piece of glass that was in the pizza. (Thank goodness it was me and not my children) I called to politely let the owner know to check his sauce because I bit on glass. I wasn't upset at all, but I wanted to make the owner aware. His response was unbelievable, His exact words were "Impossible, there's no way... thanks but no thanks" I told him it was possible because it's in the food! He proceeded to hang up on me. I'd like to give places the benefit, but this was unacceptable. I guarantee he kept using the same batch of ingredients to his customers the rest of the night regardless of the danger. Nice one Antonio's!! Without you I wouldn't have found La Rosa's that night. read more

One of my favorite pizza places in NJ! The margherita is the best. I would come earlier in the day if you're planning to order by the slice as they tend to run out of the good flavors by dinner. Took off a star as the quality does tend to vary, but when it's good it's amazing read more

The good: cute, classic Italian pizza place in downtown Metuchen. Pizza good; spaghetti dinner, meh. The bad: the owner is gruff and not particularly welcoming. The ugly: the bathroom was disgusting. I'd have rather gone in the parking lot behind the place. read more

A true Metuchen institution, and pretty much my go-to for last-minute hangs at the apartment. Super responsive and quick on the phone to boot. Food-wise, their crust is a game-changer. There's something about the fire that gets the crispiness just right. read more

This place was very small. At first, I did not think there was anywhere to sit for waiter service, but that was not the case. There were about 10 or so tables. The menu was very extensive with subs, Italian dinners, pizzas, etc. The service was appreciated, but chicken was left off a pasta dish that someone at my table order. We started off with a large Buffalo chicken pizza ($18.95). It was delicious. The chicken had a slight kick to it while the crust was slightly crispy. The chicken was of good quality too. There was also not a heavy amount of ranch dressing, which was pleasant. I prefer bleu cheese with buffalo chicken, but ranch was okay. I ordered a grilled chicken salad ($7.95). It was a typical house salad with chicken strips. There was plenty of chicken and all the toppings (spring mix, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions) appeared to be fresh. I also tried the stuffed rigatoni with pesto. It was tasty. The pesto was not too powerful and the rigatoni was cooked just right. Will I go back? Easily. read more

BURNT! COLD! CHEWY! All things you NEVER wan to use to describe a freshly delivered pizza. The ENTIRE crust is literally BLACK. The cheese and pepperoni severely over cooked as well. The entire pizza is INEDIBLE! I don't wanna hear "oh this is what Brick Oven pizza is supposed to look like" because if that was the case all the pizza they serve in the restaurant would look like that. I've had pizza from here over the years since they opened. They used to be amazing, but have progressively gotten worse and worse, yet I kept giving them a chance. Now I'm completely done with them. DONE. This is the worst pizza I've ever had in my entire life of 45 years living in the NYC metro area. They should be utterly embarrassed for sending something like this out the door. read more

My family and I love brick oven pizza. We found this local pizzeria on Google since it was highly rated and we had to visit. We ordered the Classico pizza. The pizza comes with fresh tomato sauce, basil, garlic, oregano, olive oil, & fresh mozzarella. The dough was thin and crispy. You can taste the difference between brick oven pizza vs regular Pizza Hut or Domino's. All the fresh ingredients make a big difference. read more

There is no ice with beverages. The pizza was cold and the pasta with vodka sauce was tasteless and the pasta over cooked. The worse I've had! Wouldn't eat here again! read more

Food is okay I guess. I will probably stop visiting this place because even though they have a sign on the door about wearing masks, the employees in the kitchen haven't worn one in months. Also not sure what the deal is with the "Defend Metuchen" profile pic on Instagram. What does Metuchen need defense from? I guess they think guns work better than masks to avoid Covid... read more

I absolutely love this place. Relaxed atmosphere with food that is easily comparable to most local Italian restaurants. Their pizza is perfectly balanced and always crispy. Never too much grease but just enough for the perfect slice. I actually LOVE their cheesesteaks here, I'm not sure if it's the airy bread or the meaty cheese but it's so easy to eat and I always want another after. read more

Ordered a basic chicken caesar wrap and was waiting 20 min just for it to come out disgusting. My bf almost puked. Oh and theyre racist. They served me and my bf last even though we were there first and we just got a wrap and two plain slices while other people were ordering whole specialty pies. Pizzas alright i guess. read more

Pizza is great - especially the hot honey pepperoni!!! We tried the vodka sauce and that's great too!!! Would give it more stars if I could!!! read more

What happened? The food used to be so good! They used to have the best shrimp salad. When I picked up the pizza order, it looked cold, so I asked him if it was cold. He was like yeah, it's hot. But when I ate it, it was really cold. And they still, after all this time, handle the food with their bare hands. Yuk. read more

Last night on NYE's, my friends and I decided to go to a party in Metuchen. We also decided we wanted to have dinner before the party and discovered Anthony's. With a party of 5 there was a free table and later, we moved to the bigger table so everyone was comfortable. Upon entering I was immediately impressed that there was a real coal fired oven and the array of pizza selections. My party and I ordered shrimp scampi, penne vodka pasta, the ravioli's, an order of meatballs, gluten free personal pizza and the classic margarita pizza. Everything was delicious and perfect. The pizzas were cooked just right, the meatballs were soft and scrumptious, the raviolis were devoured, the scampi was sweet and the penne vodka was quickly eaten. Our waitress, Kat, was attentive, funny and hospitable (even on a crazy night that was NYE's). We called ahead of time and were told the place was closing early at 7:30pm. They let us stay a little later to digest and hang out. Go to this pizzeria in Metuchen. It's very worth it. I'll be coming back! read more

This place is a small pizza joint on Main Street. It says brick oven but that is just the last two peel three minutes of cooking...consider a name change to 1/2 brick oven? Pizza was good and served hot! The waitress was really nice. Also ordered buffalo calamari and that was really good...good kick! One thing that drove our table nuts was the small flys (gnat looking)...sometimes out of their control but still annoying. read more

I've only ever eaten in and the issues seem to be with the delivery. I love love love the white and Sicilian pizza here. I mean this is really good classic by the slice pizza. BBQ chicken also amazing. Updates: ordered delivery on Saturday. Waited THREE HOURS for it to arrive. I couldn't believe it. Just room temp pizza. I was so disappointed. I love this place I recommend them to everyone! I'll never order delivery again read more

Started a new job in the area and I asked my coworkers where's the nearest best pizzeria' they didn't really have a recommendations so I just randomly picked Antonio's as the name involved Brick Oven and if you know anything about pizza this is the way! I dined in with my coworker and brought back a specialty pie for the office. We split the eggplant parm and I had the Claims Linguine entree and my coworker ordered the baked ziti entree. The service was quick and when the food was served OMG the smell was wonderful. Definitely an authentic NY style pizzeria! We both loved our lunch and beyond satisfied. My coworker had no clue this place existed. When we got back, the office immediately smelled the baked ziti pie and devoured every part of the pie. Needless to say this might be the go to pizzeria for us from now on! I'll try n post another review next time we go as I plan on trying the entire menu. read more

Antonio's is a small brick oven pizzeria in the heart of Metuchen. The atmosphere is casual and I really appreciated the various paintings, awards, and art hanging around the restaurant. This decor really added a level of comfort to the restaurant that gave it more of a friendly, neighborhood restaurant feel. While the restaurant is small, there is still a decent amount of seating. The service was quick and our server was very friendly. We decided to order the Margherita pie. The crust was beautifully browned in the manner that only a wood oven can do. It was fluffy and had a pleasant smokey flavor. The cheese was fresh and the tomato sauce was rich and tangy. The added tomatoes also tasted great and added a level to this Margherita pie, though they also brought an added bit of messiness, as they had the tendency to slide off of the slice. Overall, I was very pleased with the flavors I got from the pie and definitely hope to try their deep-dish Margherita and see how that compares. read more

Place has a great vibe. Owner is extremely nice. Tons of flavors too, and the $5 for 2 reg pizzas and a soda is awesome. The Buffalo chicken is killer too read more

Sorry, would love to give a good review but they are not honoring over $150 in gift cards they sold us for our kids so after all these years of loyal patronage, our family is done. We tried for weeks to make this right, talking to the manager (and through him) the owner. The owner wouldn't even speak to us directly. Sorry. You lost way more than $150 from us by doing this - very upset about this. We bought these cards to support a local business and help the kids learn about spending money themselves. Turns out, they learned about trust and loyalty, and how they are lost. read more

We are not coming back! read more

Antonio's Brick Oven Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Metuchen, New Jersey

I have ordered from Antonio's over the past two years, since moving to the Metuchen area. I was always impressed by their food and never had a bad experience. Yesterday I ordered from Grubhub and the delivery came pretty quick. We got a plain Sicilian pie with salad and garlic bread. The house salad was fine, the garlic bread was sub-par, and the pizza was awful. I couldn't believe how different the pizza was from the last time I had ordered (pre-COVID) and how or why it would have changed so much. The pizza crust it self was extremely soggy and fairly flat, for a Sicilian slice. The cheese was not fresh and rather gross. But the worst part was the sauce, it had tasted as if something metallic or raw was cooked with it. We had to throw out the pizza and resorted to eating a bag of chips for dinner. I'm not sure what happened to the quality of the pizza but it has definitely declined since the last time I had ate there. Really sad and disappointed. read more
