It like of looks like a law firm with its black frame, but inside is delicious pizza. There's a fair amount of tables and chairs to sit, you order at the counter, and viola! The sauce is sweet, the cheese has an amazing tang, and the crust has a perfect snap without any burning. There is one restroom for customers, and the door is a little heavy. So protect your pizza on your way out! Use the box.

I really really wanted to love this place. Being new to the area, I was eager to find an authentic,…read morehole-in-the-wall gem safely removed from chains and corporate mediocrity. The atmosphere is from my childhood. Welcoming wood paneling, unapologetically antiquated glassware - the small bar where the bartender definitely knew every customer and instantly identified me as new. If you closed your eyes you could smell the smell of historical cigarettes and Chianti (this is a good thing). For the above they receive their only stars. The food was hugely disappointing. Chicken wings were clearly frozen Pierce Wing Dings - salty, bland, thrown on a plate with a plastic cup of bottled blue cheese and carrots from the Reagan administration. But the pizza - CLEARLY - not the "Apizza" as noted on their charmingly old sign - was a cross between frozen airport pizza - and sauceless/tasteless, too thick to be thin crust and too thin to be Greek style - hot bread with greasy cheese. I appreciated the photos of the original owner over the bar. I suspect this was actually a really great place in the 60's, 70's, and 80's under his regime. If in the area, there are 3 other better options with a 5 min drive in any direction.

Today, I placed my order, and ME being the person that knows what I want, also KNOWS what I said. My order was wrong, and the young lady at the front, who also told me she took the order was very rude and matter of fact, as if I misunderstood MY order. Since I do not argue with children, I decided to share this review and hope that management will help this young woman with the basics of simply apologizing for her error next time. This never happened, and would have gone a long way for customer service. She did offer to remake the pie and I appreciate that very much, but I had just driven 5 1/2 hours from Maryland to Connecticut with a cold, and I just wanted to go home and rest. Thanks Dominic. for an awesome pie!

Meatballs and mushrooms is the go to order or hot lips if in the mood. Comes in a paper bag vs box- no soggy crust but if you order multiple pies plan ahead because you cannot stack them.

Ordered take out later in the day, wanted to finally give this place a shot. The reviews were mixed…read morebut it seemed only fair. We got a large half bacon & half pepperoni, as well as some garlic knots. The garlic knots were pretty decent, some crispier than others but that was fine, & brought a side of marinara. In my opinion some real garlic could ve gone a long way into making them more than decent, as the dough itself was good. The pie itself half some flop to it but not to the point where everything fell apart. I personally liked the flavor of the sauce but felt the cheese could've been a bit cheesier & the pizza dough was good. Again, these are my personal opinions, everyone has their own. There's not much parking available at all, I parked on the side of the street; just for reference. The total price was also pretty decent for both items. The ambiance was pretty good & the timing they stated for pick-up was accurate. The service was also nice.

They're a couple of great guys with tremendous hospitality among them but I personally don't care for their food. Pizza was underwhelming and the meatball parm was bland and fell flat. Tiny place with very limited parking along the street. They do a ton of deliveries within this area. The first time I was there they forgot the pepperoni on my pizza. I brought it back for a refund. They immediately said without skipping a beat that they'll remake it for me. I didn't have time on my side that day. They them said that they'd deliver it to me but I wasn't going to be close by and was leaving town. They even mentioned to do some pepperoni and put it in top. I refused that one and said that's jimmy rigging it which is a no no in my book. They ended up refunding me then to remedy this situation. I was happy with that to end up giving them another try at a later time. In not saying the food is bad. I'm only saying that it's not likeable in my opinion. Their service was pretty quick to have the pizza made. No lengthy wait. The decor inside is plain. They were in the middle of a remodel when i was there. They recently took the place over from the original owners who were there for umpteen amounts of years before this. I wish them the best of luck in their future success with this place.

Really top notch. Look and feel of the holiday decorated (but not over the top) dining area made a dreary and cold night disappear. My friend and I split a calamari with hot peppers and Gorgonzola to start. Maybe the best I've ever had (although the marinara served with it is meh/bland...so I just stick to lemon). I am already planning on when I can feasibly get back there to order again. He then ordered the veggie panini with a side salad both of which looked like a work of art. I ordered the cavatelli with sausage and broccoli rabe. My favorite combo. It was out of this world. Perfect cook on the pasta and rabe. It was warm and spicy and savory all at once. A must try. Next visit I'm going to be torn on pizza or pasta. Maybe I'll get both - with calamari as a staple all-time order. Go There Now Note: call for a reservation on Fri/Sat nights.

For two years, I've heard, "You HAVE to try Anthony's." So, I finally made the pilgrimage…read more First impressions? Honestly, mixed. The positives first: service was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, genuinely welcoming staff. The atmosphere was great too. Casual neighborhood pizza spot vibes done right, and bonus points for a private parking lot in Watertown, which is apparently rarer than a perfectly cooked New Haven-style pie north of Route 84. Now, let's discuss the family salad. Fantastic. Fresh, generous, great dressing options, and honestly one of the better salads I've had from a local pizza place in a long time. I would absolutely come back just for that. Unfortunately, the star of the show, the pizza, kind of collapsed under pressure. Literally. We ordered a medium cheese and a medium sausage, both "thin and crispy." What arrived was more "soft and floppy." The sausage itself was excellent. Clearly high quality, nicely seasoned, and probably the best part of the pizza. But the sauce just didn't bring much to the table. Very little flavor, too much cheese, and the whole pie felt heavy instead of balanced. That said, this was one visit, and I'm willing to give any local spot another shot. Next round, I'll order it well done and see if that changes the equation. I really wanted to love it because the people were great and locally owned places deserve support. But on this first visit, in an area absolutely loaded with excellent pizza options, Anthony's doesn't crack my personal top 15. Yet. I'm rooting for the comeback story.
