The hispanic female taking my order was very rude, laughing and talking with other employees while a line was pilling up outside, got petty when i asked to buy ranch she walked away purposely ignoring me. read more

Pizza was disappointing. I had greater expectations because the ambiance was great, it seems like a very authentic italian place but the food didn't back it up. Pizza was floppy, sauce was mediocre, and cheese was good. Service was ok, not normally negative about service but kitchen forgot our salad until we were almost done with the pizza, and forgot a couple toppings on the pizza(server offered to make it right). read more

Food was amazing and fresh! Service was great. Old Italian aesthetic ambiance. Definitely recommend to anyone who is in the area!

Friendly, pizza wasn't bad (but also not great), place has an intentionally messy vibe. read more

Idk why this place has 3 stars, the pizza came out good and the service was quick. Good dollar value too, would recommend

Excellent food and I love how patriotic this place is. All the negative reviews are probably from triggered libs haha. Great service too. read more

We get it, your kids want pizza. We're from the East coast. Didn't think the pizza was anything special. The salad is just bad. Mostly bad iceberg lettuce. Our hotel was next door and there was always a line for the pizzeria. If you must have pizza here call ahead to order and skip the line. read more

When the service is so poor that it feels like the only option left is to "go starve," it highlights a serious lapse in communication and care. Perhaps there were technical issues, or maybe the staff was overwhelmed, but whatever the reason, the lack of attention to customer satisfaction can leave a bitter taste BAD FFOOOD read more

Honestly if I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Horrible customer service. I simply asked the host/server if we could be seated outdoors, which he then proceeded to give me attitude with his response. To make matters worse, he refused to bring us menus and stated that we need to order at the window that specified "To Go Orders Only". After all the chaos that had unfolded the server told me and my family "to stay hungry!" read more

During my stay on the island my friend and I were craving pizza. We came across Original Antonio's as it was across the street from a locals bar that we ran into the other night. The place is pretty tiny overall but had so much charm. There were a lot of misc items placed inside the establishment that it killed some time before enjoying our pizza. Since we're trying to come in for a snack we ordered the build your own 9" 3 topping pizza and some horchata. Never had I would have known that horchata and pizza would go well together. But then again, who doesn't like horchata? The 9" small pizza did the job for the both of us and we're pleasantly satisfied. VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

After a long bike ride we were starving and looking for something quick and easy to eat. Nothing sounded too good around, and we felt like you cant go wrong with pizza. It was ok, fast service and the people were super friendly. read more

The only reason this restaurant doesn't get 5 stars is because we had to wait in line for almost an hour to get in. This is not the restaurant's fault except there were tables that were cleaned quickly when customers left. The food is outstanding especially the pizza. The ambiance is old family restaurant that is full of visuals. If you are in a hurry, it is best to order carry out and eat back at your hotel or condo. read more

The pizza was amazing! Great flavor. I also liked the chicken caesar salad. This is a great option for takeout on the island.

The new owners are great. Pizza was perfect, and so were the meatballs and Caesar salad.

Great spaghetti, salad, and garlic bread. Went back for a second time for the fantastic Turkey sandwiches. They were delicious. Wonderful service when they were extremely busy for the 4th of July! Thanks a lot and we highly recommend! read more

Really cute restaurant and the food was surprisingly amazing!! I was shocked by how good the Italian Sub was, and the combo was a good deal for the price. Helpful service and locals mentioned they recently had reopened, whatever they changed worked! read more

Costumer service was very rude when I wanted to order to go. I guess that stupid bell needs to be rung. If you're gonna stare at your customers and not do anything then find a different job bud!!. Pizza is mid DEFINITELY NOT worth the wait read more

Standard quick pizza, nothing fancy. Next time I'll try more toppings. Wish they had draft beer tho.....

The pizza was good, although a lot pricier than I expected for the actual pizza. Place was pretty cramped and a bit dirty during their lunch rush. Probably won't come back, but lunch was still satisfying. read more

If you like 50's Americana and quick and dirty pizza, then, sure, eat here. This restaurant is cluttered and dusty inside with nostalgia (including a picture of Natalie Wood!). It's basically a take out window with tables. The pizza was very average, much like Pizza Hut. I has the 10" and it came right away. The crust was really bready. I mean really bready. The sourdough crust is even worse. Also, the hotel we were staying at offered a discount at Antonio's, but there is another restaurant with that name that honors this, but not here, so be careful ifthat's why you are considering this place. read more

Very nice place ! Old fashion super tasty , pizza was so thick super fresh , in my opinion, this place is bomb read more

Wow! Amazing. Walked around looking for a good place to eat. Passed by this place and the smell of pizza hit your face! Greeted by friendly staff in a small intimate place with a 40s-60s atmosphere. The pizza was absolutely amazing! I love everything about it no complaints. Service attentive. I recommend coming here. This was the only restaurant that smelled delicious from just walking on the outside! read more

This is my second time trying their pizza. The first time, we got a veggie pizza which was good. However, this time - we got the BBQ chicken pizza, which also was garnished with onions and cilantro. The 4 of us devoured that pizza. It was delicious and the chicken was tender (not overcooked or burnt to say the least). The BBQ sauce was also not overpowering. Everything about the pizza was just right. Thank You ! read more

Original Antonio's - BBQ chicken pizza. So yummy & cheesy - Pizza Near Me - Avalon, California

Worst Italian food I've had in at least 30 years. Wet and soggy pasta, pizza with almost no quality, and a tiny bowl of iceberg lettuce and a couple of tomatoes that cost $17.50 and that I had to eat with a plastic fork?!!! As much as you're craving Italian on the island, do yourself a favor and grab a frozen pizza from Vons. It will be 5 times better and cost you 5 times less. EVEN IF YOU ATE IT STILL FROZEN, it might still be better! read more

The food was awesome. The Mamma Mia spaghetti,,, I dream about it at night. Can't wait to go back ....This is the real thing ,,customer service hundred percent ,,you can eat peanuts and drop them on the floor. Good music playing,,, the energy there. Awesome. Can't wait to go back. And for being on the island, the price is right. read more

I can't think of the words to describe how wonderful this pizza is... "If you love yourself you'd come here to eat this pizza" "Should I purchase a boat so I can come out here weekly because this pizza was so good" "Angels from heaven are in the back making the garlic bread" I'm telling you BEST GARLIC BREAD IVE EVER HAD 1000% read more

I asked to set outside but it was a bit cold so we asked if it was ok to change our order to inside instead of outside. The person in the front side it was ok. We went inside and sat down. They gave us our food and was polite when one of the random workers said we can't eat inside with an attitude. Which was weird because we were already sitting down eating. It was open to the public. And other people were eating inside too. And they gave us our food inside. This guy was extremely rude. And as we left he gave us rude comments in Spanish. I never felt so humiliated at a restaurant in my life. I definitely will never eat here again it left a bad taste to the trip especially since this was the first restaurant we went to so far. read more

The pizza was fair but looked like homeless pizza ! The two ladies working were busy but not attentive at all. I liked all the nostalgic crap on the walls and ceiling . And I loved the country music and videos. Very expensive for what you get . The bottled beer would have been great if it was a lot colder. Nothing worse than a cool beer ! We both thought the peanuts on the floor was nasty. Before I forget , the pizza hardly had any meat on it. It was a combination ! read more

We were on our way to return our golf cart when we decided to stop for lunch. The dining area is right there on the sidewalk... were you can relax and eat while watching the world go by. We ordered hot wings and a club sandwich. The food was good and the service was fast. I just wish we had move time on the island I would have liked to have come back to try some of their other menu items. You almost feel like your sitting outside a café in Italy. Being about 25 yards from the beach people are coming and going all the time so you will see and hear many interesting things. Kind of like watching a good show on TV. read more

The pizza is trash. The mushrooms looks like they are from a can. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The prices are insane considering how old the restaurant is and how subpar the food is. read more

Definitely read and check why they have a B heath code rating because I wish I did. Pepperoni PizzaThere was hair in our pizza so I went inside and showed an employee she said "oh I don't do that talk to someone else" and walked away. I turned around to the next employee and was like "I'm not sure how you guys want to deal with this but I'd like a refund please". The chefs processed to show how they're bald so it's clearly not their hair so it's not their problem right? They said we can make another, which sure some people would've taken that but why would I want more food after being served that and the amount of disrespect they gave. It took a good 10 minutes of them talking about us in Spanish to everyone like we didn't understand them, saying they needed a manager there to help, and all that stuff. It was a $25 pizza and they didn't even give us the full amount back. read more

Only jumped into this place for a drink, but wasn't a lot of wow factor here. Limited seating, drinks were a bit overpriced, and limited staff. Not a great spot, but not the worst either. With a bit of effort, there's definitely something a bit more unique or satisfying that could be found in the local area. read more

I want to begin by saying choices are limited on the island and we are well aware that prices reflect the additional cost in getting ingredients from the mainland, but I still found the prices still on the pricey side. That being said, this is the 2nd time visiting the island and our 2nd time enjoying Antonio's. The first time we dined in at their old location on the waterfront (summer of 2022), service was so-so but food was spot on. The 2nd time we ordered food to go (summer of 2023) and food was still spot on. My kids loved the cheese crisp - don't knock it until you tried it. The pizza was just as good as we remembered! Consistency is key and they really do a great job with their food. read more

I wanted to try their pizza so I ordered one slice of pepperoni at their take out window. I could tell the dough is frozen pre-made so don't expect to see some guy in back tossing the dough. The slice is priced right and it's your basic 7-11 style pizza. read more

Original Antonio's - Good cardboard pizza - Pizza Near Me - Avalon, California

I have been so many places around the world lots of restaurants but this was by far was the worst place I have ever been there was no space on the walls for anything else because they made it so overwhelmingly crowded when you first walk in their is peanut shells covering the flor because they say "throw peanut shells on the floor" obviously they don't have to clean the floor they have red and white table cloths with shamrocks on them but Antonios is Italian when you sit down they throw paper plates at you next they give you some frozen pizza. When you pay it is extremely over priced. So in conclusion don't ever go there. read more

Original Antonio's is a mess. We went to the pizza takeout window and ordered 2 slices of pepperoni pizza & a soda. About an hour later our 2 slices of pizza were ready. The order in which they handed out the food was disorganized and not in the order they were received. We decided to wait for our food because it's one of the only places on the Island that has food late at night. The pizza itself was ok. It was pretty greasy though. I'd rate it just below what you would get at Costco. My rating would be 3 stars if they handled the pizza window orders more efficiently and in the correct order that they were placed. read more

For the 2nd year in a row, my family placed an order for a future pick up and it was not ready on time. In fact, for the 2nd year in a row, the food was not even prepared until the time of our arrival for pickup. Today, it caused my family to be late to our movie! Consistent unprofessionalism isn't a good look . . . Will not be giving this establishment a 3rd try. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. Kids really wanted to eat but the dining room was closed. Decided the next night would have to do. Called earlier in the day and was told they would close at 7:30. Came at 6:25 and was already closed and HAD been closed for sometime. Didn't seem to care much when asked about it either. Don't waste your time. read more
