April 2025 Update: The original owner, Dario, has returned & the food is better than ever!…read more During my last visit, I swore I would never return after the experience with the new owners. But as soon as I heard that Dario was back, my entire family made it a point to stop by and see if the rumors were true. Thankfully they were, and the same amazing food we knew & fell in love with is back in Metuchen! Everything we had this time around was a complete 180 from the previous visit. My favorite pasta, the Fettucine Mare, (vodka sauce pasta with crab, scallops and shrimp) was back on the menu and oh how we have missed it!! Other favorites of the night were the bruschetta, shrimp fra diavolo, and salmon. It's amazing how different food can be when you have ownership that truly cares about the sourcing of ingredients. The seafood tasted fresher than ever, produce was of the highest quality. I could go on and on about how good this meal was, but you definitely need to try it yourself to understand. Five stars!

Our server was super friendly and checked in with us a perfect amount of times. The food was really good. I had a Margherita slice which was very good: flat crust with a bit of chew. Perfect. The front case had several specialty slices (eg slices with rigatoni on top). The table shared apps of calamari and rice balls. Both were delicious and served piping hot. I'd definitely stop by again when in town.

This place is absolutely fantastic…read more The octopus is some of the best I've ever had. So delicious. They got it crispy on the outside without overcooking the inside. The bread they bring you before meal was fresh out of the oven. I was like oh no. I don't want to fill up on this but it is amazing. Warm and fluffy and cut into fingers. We got a Cesar salad as a starter to share too. That was very good. For my meal I got the tuna steak medium rare. They cooked it perfectly. The orange sauce they put over it too was amazing. I don't know how to describe it. Some sort of tomato base. Which I wouldn't think of for tuna. Then I finished the night with a cappuccino. I was too full for desert but we weren't in a rush. That hit the spot. This was a business meeting and they moved us to a larger table to give us more space which was super cool of them. We got to sit in the tented area where it was easy to talk to one another without yelling.

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.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the place is always clean which makes the experience even better. My favorite is their margherita pizza -- it's perfectly cheesy with just the right amount of sauce. I also love that the crust is thin and holds up nicely with no flop. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great slice!

Updated review from two years ago, I tried the a margarita pizza yesterday after taking a…read moresabbatical. I am lowering my rating because the pizza crust isn't the same. Please note that you may like this type of "thin crust". The bottom of the crust felt and tasted like maybe it's over coated with cornmeal; the texture felt gritty crunchy. This would work if anyone prefers this texture. The sauce just tasted like it was freshly ladled over (no oven baked in flavor). The topping left very little space for the crust edge. I am still stuck on how unfamiliar the crust texture was. I am used to thin crust texture from raised bread dough not a corn-meal like feel. Another reviewer was also baffled with the crust. Reheat review: unfortunately, was not convincing to nudge up the rating. From tip to mid way of the slice, the structure was floppy. From mid way to the edge of the slice: structure held up. Flavor was still good, maybe now better tasting bc sauce now tasted baked in because of the re heating. Service was on time.

I love their specialty slices! I had their bruschetta slice and their chicken Caesar salad slice…read moreboth were so DELICIOUS! It was the first time I ever had a chicken Caesar salad slice, and I was surprised how good it was! The chicken was moist and well seasoned, and the salad on dressing on top was so tasty! I also tried a plain margarita slice which I didn't like. There wasn't enough cheese or sauce on it, and I didn't like the taste on the margarita either. My husband also tried a plain slice and a sausage slice, and he thought they were just ok. They had a big selection of all different specialty slices that all looked great. I'd like to try their bbq chicken slice next time. I'd skip their regular slices, but I highly recommend coming here for their delicious specialty slices!
