If this was a rating on the staff, id give this a 10!!! All the staff was so nice and fun and accommodating and super friendly! The garlic bread with that delicious dipping sauce was soooo good! The pizza was super cheesy, so they should add more of the toppings to cut the richness, the toppings seem to be a little scarce so it makes the cheese seem a bit thick. That being said, it does taste very creamy and fresh and some may love that. The sausage had good flavor and the pepperoni could have been more generously spread. =) The draft rootbeer was super yummy! Stop by here, have some beers. Grab some garlic bread and enjoy. Please note, by the slice pizzas can only be taken to go, so we ordered a small pizza, maybe it would have better proportioned if we ordered the slices. But we wanted to sit amd have some drinks too, but they wont serve slices while u sit. Other than that, that marinara they serve with the garlic bread is fire!! You wont be disappointed! read more

Weren't closed and wouldn't take my order. People ordered before me and i was told no

One star for customer service and the other for the atmosphere. The pizza was terrible and the ranch couldn't even save it. I really wanted to like this place!! read more

Food was very delicious. I had a small Antonio's pepperoni with 3 cheeses pizza. Service was good. The waiter was taking care of everyone. It's a small place inside. I didn't like sharing a table with other people. That is just me! You have a few seats outside. read more

We ate a large cheese and it was ok...the cheese was ok the sauce was a little tomato-y, not very seasoned. $20. In Avalon, it was worth it. read more

Our pizza was definitely frozen pizza. The pizza came out super fast and it wasn't even warm. I'm not sure about the lasagna. The wings were very small pieces for the price. I'm not one to leave bad reviews but definitely wasn't good. And the service was not good either. Never again. read more

Solid choice for food around here! I had low expectations since Avalon is pretty touristy, but the pizza was a lot better than what you get from a chain. We ordered a 10" pizza with pepperoni and pineapple. It was around $15 which is pricey, but not shocking for a touristy area. We had ordered at the to-go window and the staff was a bit busy since there was a mess they needed to clean up. We weren't in a rush. We probably waited around 7-10 minutes for our pizza which came out hot. Yum! We sat at one of the small tables out front since we were hoping to get in and out quickly. (They do have a few tables inside if you want to dine in.) Delicious! Fantastic crunch from the crust. It's not NY style, but a bit thicker. Not as thick as Detroit or Chicago- style but something similar to a pan pizza ? I would definitely come back to this spot. Or their other location on Crescent. It seemed like a lot of folks got slices to go. Around $5 for cheese or pepperoni. There is a $10 minimum if you use credit card, so keep that in mind. We paid with cash. read more

Olga is the best! Amazing service delicious food! We ordered three pizza, wings and salad - yum!

We were visiting Catalina and decided to go to Antonio's. We ordered pizza and the spaghetti. It was pretty good and flavorful. The bbq chicken pizza was my favorite. We also ordered the bottle of Chianti wine. Wine was good but we did not like that they give us plastic cups to drink wine out of...eww. Overall, the service was splendid and friendly. The restaurant is small and quaint but fine for a pizzeria. read more

The pizza was great and Olga was very nice! Our group of 20 ate here on a few occasions while we stayed on the island. The restaurant is very convenient, you can order pizza by the slice which is fresh and delicious! read more

I loved how this is like the towns popular pizza spot! Very friendly, homey and welcoming. But I just don't think prices reflect the taste and quality of the food. Very subpar. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't what I expected. The pizza is just ok, and their wings were not good to me at all. They had lots of fat on them and seemed like they were the frozen kind you buy in the bag at the grocery store. They close fairly early (8-9pm), and they do not deliver, only to orders or you can sit inside/outside to eat. Again, cute little pizza spot to grab a late night slice or large pizza to go, but very pricey for no good reason lol. read more

Definitely the best pizza I have had and the staff was AMAZING!!! The place was small but the atmosphere was great!

What a great update to a staple of the town. It has been a few years since I had dinned in. The inside and wall decor has been noticeably brightened up. It has all the charm of the Original yet clean and bright. Plenty of decor to keep your eyes busy while waiting on your pie (came out quick on a Tuesday) Friendly staff Jacob made my nephews birthday dinner memorable. Pizza was solid and wing meat slid right off the bone. Keep it up and I'll be back next time for sure. read more

Really good. And it tastes unique. I was surprised. Would be cool if it was cheaper but it's also way cheaper than everything else on the island read more

Came here last night, got hungry. Ordered a pepperoni pizza, honestly it was a solid pizza. Lady at the counter was nice and helpful, I think she knew I hadn't been here before. She gave recommendations but just went with a classic pepperoni. Pizza was nice and hot, extra crispy and cheesy! I would say it's a good spot to try! read more

We came to get takeout our 1st night in Catalina Island on Wednesday so we could stay in for dinner as we were pretty beat from the days travel. We also got pizza for much Thursday too. This place is a cool family owned spot right in the main section of the town, you can tell it's pretty popular and is recommended by locals. We got spaghetti with chicken & alfredo sauce. We also tried the ravioli too. We also ordered sourdough bread with mozzarella cheese, quick tip, the pasta dishes come with bread too, so keep that in mind if you're ordering the sourdough bread. Although, the bread that comes with pasta doesn't have mozzarella on it. The pizza slices are huge, and thin, which I prefer. Pizza isn't meant to be doughy, when it's thin you get a better taste of the ingredients and toppings. For sure I recommend this place for lunch or dinner when you come here. read more

I got hot sausages and spaghetti. It was ok. I would order it again. You get garlic bread and a big salad. The dressing is just Ken's. I thought they would have their own Italian but I got a package of dressing. We also got the wings. They were good. I live here a few months at a time year round so I will order from here again to go. read more

10/10!! One of the only places open until 10 on a Friday after coming in on one of the last ferry's, and we couldn't have picked a better place for dinner. We ordered at the to-go window and got the Mexican pizza, bbq chicken, and mix of pepperoni with jalapeños and mushrooms- SOOO GOOD. The wait time was not bad at all considering we ordered 6 pizzas. Definitely recommend!! read more

The pizza was good. I do recommend just buying a whole pizza instead for $23. I got 1 pizza slice for $5.50 each slice and they only offer pepperoni on cheese for the slices. For the whole pizza, you have more options. The line does get long. read more

Not great pizza in a tiny little restaurant. The pizza tasted like it was a frozen pizza heated up, the interior of the restaurant was cool however very small seating area. Food was mid at best and service was okay. Don't plan on returning. read more

The food was amazing. The server was being berated by a customer and held herself with class and. poise. I am very happy with the quality of food and fast service!! 5/5 stars!! read more

I ate the pizza slice so fast that I didn't have a chance to take a picture! We stopped here 10 mins before closing and the lady was really nice. We ordered a pepperoni slice of pizza each and each cost $5.50. The pizza was good. It tasted like Costco/Sam's quality. It's a small, crowded pizza parlor, but the to-go window comes in handy. I saw people stop by right at closing time at 10 pm and they still helped them. read more

The service is awful and the pizza is just as bad. The establishment of the restaurant nailed the whole pizza spot look, but the pizza tasted like a frozen school pizza. Honestly, the school pizza may taste even better than the pizza they serve here. You're better off buying a pizza somewhere else. What's makes matters worse is that the employees are very selective on which paying customers they want to provide good customer service to and it was very blatant with the experience I had with this business. I will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Food was very good. Very pleasant ordering and fast service. Perfect to go options. We enjoyed it so much, we wanted more

Came on a Wednesday ( because nothing else was open; I do not recommend coming to Catalina during the week this time of year. NOTHING IS OPEN) however, this place was open. The inside is sooo cute, so retro and fun. Me and my daughter ordered the pepperoni and chorizo pizza and Mamas day old spaghetti, BOTH WERE DELICIOUS! I also tried the draft root beer from New Orleans, very tasty and my daughter ordered a Jamaica which she says was fresh. The price point was definitely expensive (but this is a small island, everything is! LOL) but the food was great, and so was the service. read more

Decent place to grab a large pizza for the family and kids. Service was friendly but expect to wait a bit for your food during peak hours. Place seemed nice instead and had an old school Italian pizza vibe. Would have gotten a higher review but it did come a bit more greasy than your usual pizza spot. read more

The wings are NOT jumbo. They are not even regular size, they are tiny!!!! Super false advertising, looked like wings from a bag. The word JUMBO in all caps justified the $17 price wings but when we opened the box and saw our stack of sticks they called wings we were very disappointed. read more

Best sandwich I've been had!! Italian club it was super tasty the bread was soft and fresh the meats were awesome. Spaghetti with meat balls were so so the meat balls were good. The garlic bread they give was really really good!!! Pizza was great we just got pepperoni and jalepeno but it was very good and they have root beer on tap which was great as well! Staff was nice and place is old school which was fun, definitely will be returning read more

All about the pizza. None compares on mainland. Service only slow when a cruise ship in town. Love the old pictures. Fun to see how many you can name. Being old helps. Red check table cloths add to the atmosphere. read more

As they advertise "The 50's Never Left" at Original Antonio's. Most of the ordering is done through the opening on the beach side of the front door. The inside is quite small and there are just a few outdoor tables. While waiting for takeaway or outdoor dining, the plethora of signs on the store front are quite amusing. And not to mention, they were playing cowboy music from the 50's - perhaps a nod to the old western movies? We stopped by for a snack and had their Italian Submarine sandwich. This has all the cold cuts and cheese that you'd expect. BUT, I thought they had the right mix of mayo and Italian dressing. An unexpected surprise was that they toasted the cheese inside the sandwich which added a nice warmth and gooeyness to each bite. The soft Italian roll had a nice chew and compressed well around the meat and cheese, and yet still held the sandwich together. This was a filling sandwich. So much for being just a snack! read more

We stopped by for a quick bite to eat and grabbed 2 slices and a drink. Decently priced pizza with a really good sauce (a bit on the sweet side but really yummy!) It's too bad they are not open later into the evening because this would be the perfect late night snack on the island! Would definitely recommend stopping by for some pie! read more

I get that you are located on an island and the choices are limited - but this was really not great. Unfortunately you start off on a bad foot ordering from the window. Just an angry and yelling employee greeting everyone who walks up with a scowl. Lots of rules and signs posted near the window should have keyed us in to the vibe. Pizza itself is very mediocre and way overpriced for the 7-11 hot case quality you will get. read more

I visited this pizza place on 6/20/25 around 2:30 pm, was with my family ordered a Pizza, Salad, 2 beers, 2 sodas, 1 water the total price was $76.02, I paid with 2 $50.00 bills the cashier handed me back only $23.00 with no change and no receipt, I asked the cashier for the total amount, she replied $76.02, I told her she only handed me back $23.00 then she didn't apologize or returned the change back just ignored me. I want to clarify is not for the change due, but for the principal, just imagine how many people they have done the same thing. This is not correct, the food was not even as the picture at the entrance of the restaurant, I did not get a good experience at all. Better Business Bureau should look into this issue. this is not the way to ask for a tip. read more

Dinner wasn't quite satisfying and this was right across the street from the hotel. I saw a sign for pizza by the slice and thought it would be the perfect nightcap. It's a popular local and tourist hangout, it was always crowded whenever we walked by. Very casual, a lot of people rolled up in their wet beach clothes to grab a slice. They have a minimum $10 for credit cards so I ended up with 2 huge slices when 1 would have been perfect. Pizza itself is not quite at franchise level and is closer to indie pizza you find at bowling alleys and arcades. For some reason it had a sweeter taste than normal as well. Review is based on 2 slices of pepperoni that are very big for $5, it's easily the size of two normal sliced. I would say the most unappetizing thing was the top and bottom were oily. I used napkins to soak up the oil and it magically came back. read more
