While not 'gourmet' or 'interesting' like Franny's across the street, this place is dependable for quick, hot, fresh delivery, and has decent pizza. Try the garlicky Sophia Loren pie (no slices of the Sophia Loren, sorry...) or the grandma slice.
And thanks to the awesome bartenders at Bar Sepia for telling me about this place :) -

I've been eating here for years and years and years. As this neighborhood changes I am really glad to see Antonio's still around. It was my favorite place to be after the movies (American Apparel) took that spot over. I took my nephew here for the first time. I always go for the "square" sicilian slice with a root beer.
He was visiting and is officially in love with NYC. He is also a pizza connoisseur and gave his thumbs up!! -

I made the mistake of ordering the cheese Sicillian pizza (because as I was ordering it was fresh and just being put into the pizza shelf window) instead of the traditional thin crust slice. It was decent but the crust was too thick and dry for my liking. Next time I'm ordering a slice of thin crust.

Antonio's is the best, it has fantastic pizza, fantastic italian food, and the best cheesesteak in town. My only issue with it is they don't deliver to my most recent apartment but when I was close it was my go-to.

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon to grab a quick bite to eat. We ordered a slice and an order of garlic knots.
Maybe I was just super hungry, but the pizza was pretty tasty. I wouldn't drive out to Brooklyn just to come here, but I'd go back when we find ourselves in the area.
They serve a decent slice, and they gave my son a few extra garlic knots with his order. Gotta love people who are kind to the kiddies! -

Ordered from Seamless and got it delivered quickly to Crown Heights (we're not terribly close to them). Got the grandma pie. WARNING: this is for garlic lovers only! Thankfully, we are full-fledged members of the garlic tribe, so we didn't mind. Crust was thin and crispy, sauce was good (hubby wasn't crazy about it, but I thought it was fine, but not the best we've ever had), plenty of cheese.
Overall, pretty happy. Will order again. :) -
Review from Paul S.
Had two different deliveries from Antonio's, and 3 different pies. So lets go from worst to best.
Deep dish meat pizza. 1 star. The crust was thick, but had absolutely no flavor. It was neither fluffy nor crunchy either. BOTH of which should be part of a deep dish. Fail. big fail. Even the toppings weren't that flavorful. I couldnt even tell what the sliced sausage was..and it dripped grease (i know, obvious cuz of the meat).
Vegetable pizza on whole wheat crust. 4 stars. The crust had the chew and slight sweetness of a good whole wheat crust. And the combination of the toppings (broccoli, mushrooms, sauteed greens, peppers) was excellent. Somehow this thing was more flavorful than the meat.
Grandma pizza. 5 stars. Epic. The crust topping was garlicky and salty, and the fresh mozzarella was wonderfully melted. And just when you think your bites have gotten bland, the thick, sauce zaps you on the tongue. Soooo good.
So overall not bad. Will absolutely never allow anyone to order a deep dish from here again. But when you get a pie with good ingredients, it's a damn fine experience. -

Definitely tasty. It's up there with the great list of local pizza places for Brooklyn. Not a place you go out of your way for, but definitely great NY style pizza. Regular and grandma slice are good.
If this is in your area, definitely order from them. You wont be disappointed! -

This place is solid, through and through. I have never had anything disappointing from them, be it the pizza (grandma slice, hello), the heroes or the salads.

Excellent delivery service, and excellent grandma pie. Is it the best pizza ever? No, but in that middle tier of "good pizza, not too expensive" it must be one of the best in the neighborhood.

I'm no pizza expert, but I know what is solid, good, and great value. Antonio's pies are delicious. Great crust, well balanced sauce, and good toppings. When we order delivery, I usually go for the Sophia Loren pie - a luscious fresh mozz pie that arrives in perfect delicious shape and holds up for a snack the next day. If I have guests, I'll add a spinach alfredo pie to the order...too rich and decadent for a two person feast but a great way to show off the fatty yumminess of the local pie.
Sometimes I stop in for a sicilian slice. I used to HATE Sicilian slices - but theirs attains a crispiness of crust that makes it heaven. Shocking to me. Delightfully shocking.
As a CT native, I love Pepe's and Modern pies as gourmet delights - but it is truly a different animal so you can't compare it to anything else. Plus - it would fail to travel well. I feel really lucky that Antonios will deliver to our Prospect/Crown heights border address.
MMMM... 'ZA!
And the staff is always congenial, fast, and good spirited. -

TERRIBLE. The manager last night was a total d-bag. Who is this guy? He should be fired.
Agree with Bobby L. Why bother dealing with these jerks when there's so much good pizza that actually manages to get delivered in a reasonable amount of time? -

We've gotten pizza a few times from here since we moved. It's always fresh and the crust is crunchy. I really like their bbq pizza and their fresh mozzarella pizza. I've only done pick-up and the guys are usually pretty quick and attentive.

A craving for pizza and a quick search of Yelp brought me to this place. The prices were average and the pizza was really good. I forgot what I ordered, but there was a lot of cheese involved.
...but yea by all means if your looking for good pizza on Flatbush Avenue then come here! -

On a Thursday night in April, around 8PM, 3 stoner kids sat in their Brooklyn apartment and proclaimed Antonio's to be the best Grandma pie they had eaten in New York. The delivery service was quick as it had always been when they ordered and the cheese on the pizza was still melted and hot....certainly not the congealed mass that some take-out places provided. Sal's on Lorimer Street had originally held the title as the greatest but while delicious in its own right, didn't even hold a candle to the thin, doughy, oregano flecked and lightly sauced square that they held in their hands.
The grandma pie was the last menu item they were to try. The sandwiches always were hot, hearty, and big...the chicken parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana, and meatball being among the best...their rolls always being crispy and fresh. Pasta, while among one of the more boring items on the menu, never disappointed and the mozzarella sticks and garlic knots properly prepared the palate for Antonio's tasty main events. But the grandma pie....oh man, the grandma pie.
"What have we been missing this whole time?" one of them said as the living room lights dimmed and the Office came on.Listed in: Crown Heights, 11238

Review from Alex i.

1/28/2009
I had gotten so stir crazy I was talking to the walls. I got myself reasoning with a mouse in a glue trap that a quick death was better than what sad, long torment awaited him if I didn't act quickly. How long can a man sit in front of a computer and write? I'd been snowed in, unemployed, bitch-less and my only excursions to the outside world were to Crunch gym on Flatbush.
But then the skies turned blue again. So I ventured out, went to the coffee shop. Spoke to other human beings. It was blissful nirvana. I was alive--a living breathing man. A man with id, with needs and dreams.
By the time I came home my roommate and two of our good friends were there. The University of Kentucky was playing Ole Miss. I had human interaction, friends even. There was beer but something was missing. Some missing piece of my soul cried in the distance.
"Do you hear that?" I asked
"Sounds like death throes of something big. Something ... unnatural," my rooommate said.
"'Tis thy hunger, lad," our good friend said ('cause he's a pirate in this story). "The beast need be slain by fair shoreline of peperoni"
I knew what to do. Muscle memory intervened. I acted. Jack Bauer would be proud. Throwing myself across the coffee table I grabbed yonder cellphone. Quickly I dialed the numbers.
"Antonio's pizza, how may I help you?"
"Ride! Ride now, my friend, in the hour of despair. Spare not a wither! Let the red dawn err the clash of steel compel thee!"
"Excuse me? What the fuck are you talking about, chief?"
"Oh ... ahem, sorry. Yeah, I need a large pie with pepperoni."
"Okay. Gimme your address ..."
Antonio's was there to deliver. That familiar voice, friendly, ready to dish out a pie and so Brooklyn, even African Bushmen can place it, was there for us. The Wildcats weren't doing so well, and neither were we. There were chips and beer of course. There is nothing more natural for an American male than chips, beer and sports. But it isn't complete without pizza or grilled meats.
The first half toiled on, and it had only been ten minutes since the call but the pain was too great. One of our friends leaned into the table.
"Thar be tell of a group of sailors, lost on the seas of China called Papa Johns in desperation. Only to be bitterly led to the rocky shore by a delivery guy in a Hyundai."
We all shivered a little. What would our fate be? Was there time. My roommate was growing paler than usual.
Then the doorbell rang. It was Antonio's. I paid the man quickly. Antonio's is on the higher end of the pizza scale vis-a-vis money. A large pepperoni pie cost us $17 but it was worth every bite.
They have a wide array of calzones and rolls if pizza doesn't tickle your fancy, but how could it not? This is what pizza is all about. This is New York at its culinary best.
The University of Kentucky lost but what did I care. I'm probably never going to Kentucky and my stomach was happier than a pirate locked in a chest of gold.Listed in: Prospect Heights We Hardly…

This place is great because they let us order a pizza 10 minutes before closing and then gave us free pinwheels and garlic balls. Sweet!!
But also their pizza is delicious. They have wheat crust which is actually quite tasty and flavorful and their veggie pie is covered in vegetables! It still hit that special pizza spot in your heart and tummy without making you feel guilty or like shit. -

My boyfriend and I get take out from here because he really likes their pizza and it's better than that place on Washington Ave. The pizza is okay, but I was really dissapointed with the eggplant parm hero because the roll wasn't real italian bread (it was like a deli roll). Also, I would stay away from their pasta dishes. The pasta in my with garlic and oil with cheese was overcooked and the whole dish was awful even though it's something so simple to make (I should have just made it myself!). The food comes pretty quickly and the prices are good, I just wish the quality was better.
Since I know that we'll definitely end up ordering take out from here again, I'll try the calzone next time and update my review if it's any good.
Update: I finally tried the calzone 2/24 and it arrived all crispy and amazing even though I live a few avenues away from the place. Incredible!!! Absolutely orgasmic... I've never liked calzones before, but I figured I couldn't go wrong with fresh mozzaralla and spinach. So right! It was made fresh and so tasty. And a really huge amount of food for $5, as well. +1 Star for the calzone alone. -

On election night 2008, the only sad piece of news I heard was when I called Antonio's and the guy was like, "Sorry, we ran out of dough!" People all over Prospect Heights and North Slope in front of their TV's had the same idea: pizza, and they chose Antonio's.
Greg posting below is right, these dudes are Albanian. And in Napoli the best pizza makers are often Egyptian. Funny that.
I'm a pizza snob. I worship Franny's and DiFara's. Even while living in Florence, I would only go to the two best pizzerias in the city. And I will confidently say that the Grandma slice and fresh mozzarella slice at Antonio's are both pretty frickin' delicious.
It's not like in Italy, but they're good, solid NYC slices with a nice crust, great sauce, above average cheese, which are becoming harder and harder to find these days. It seems like pizza is either really high-end or just crappy. Antonio's is not falling into either of those ends of the spectrum, and thank god for that. -

I used to live two blocks away. In a lazy pinch, Antonio's did the trick.
Not pricey (with the major gentrification of even Prospect Heights (American Apparel and Crunch next door...WTF!).
Anyway, hopefully Antonio's will be around for a long time and the next time I walk up, there won't be a California Pizza Kitchen standing there.Listed in: Yelping in: New York City

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! Exceptionally rude. After 1.5 hours of waiting for my pizza, I called to see where my pizza was. They first told me the pizza had already been sent out, but when pressed they said they had never received the order. The order had been placed online and I had received a confirmation number (I later called the online vendor and they confirmed that Antonio's had indeed received the order). When I asked them when I should expect my pizza, the manager of Antonio's told me to "F**K OFF" and then proceeded to hang up on me. In summation, order from elsewhere. After all, with so many good options for a slice in the area, why would you order from a person like that.

Oh man, I was stuck at home on Friday night (waiting for the good people from 1-800 Mattress to deliver my new bed), and desperate for some grub and drink. The good people at Antonio's did not disappoint.
My order was delivered about 20 minutes after I ordered it, and it was DELICIOUS.
The only thing that keeps me from bestowing 5 stars -- they seem to pull the "let's put the pepperoni on after it comes out" maneuver, which always leaves a weird taste. But the cheese half was awesome. Right up there with the best cheese pizzas I've ever had.
Rock on, Antonio's. -

Antonios makes me miss my downstairs neighbors soooo much!
I used to live nearby this apartment of guys that could be counted on to order from Antonios at least once a week. They always invited me down and the pizza was always great, the beer always cold, and the darts competetion fierce. (Note-It is ALWAYS better to play darts in a friend's apartment. No holes on your own walls).
Sadly, the friends moved away and I only get Antonios once in a while now, but....
it is still the best, and most consistent delivery pizza in the area.
The Sicilian pizza with peperoni and sausage is a continual favorite of mine.
I tried to stray and order from some other pizza joints nearby and they were always disapointments. -

Great neighborhood pizza. Good salads and crispy fries, too.
Guilty, once-a-week pleasure. Frequently, ends up being twice-a-week.
And they delivered on that crazy-hurricane wind night with a smile, fourth floor walk up. Big up Antonio's. -

One of the few places around that still serves a real New York slice. Good crust, good cheese, good sauce. 1+1+1=4 stars. There is more gourmet stuff around (cf. Amorino, two blocks away), but this is the best slice in Park Slope, and I think I've tried them all. (The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the whole point of this kind of pizzeria is that it is not gourmet - just delicious.)
In the 70's and 80's the 5 boroughs were filthy with places like this, but now most of them suck. For some reason, Antonio's has stayed on course, God bless them, and god bless New York pizza. -

Great pizza as far as slice places go. I'm giving it a 3.5 star rating until I get the chance to go back and try more pies. I'm at Crunch once a week and instead of sitting down and going to my usual Latin chicken place across the street (El Gran Castillo De Jagua), a nice *light* slice of pizza would do me good. It's cheap too! No slices are more than $3.50. It's true, not as cheap as that Two Bros Pizza crap in the city, but their regular slice + soda deal is so greasy and nasty so I don't think it's a good basis to compare to Antonio's homey taste.
Came in, hesitant the place was going to be mega grimy (it was not) and ordered amongst their tasty looking pies. They have your usual regular cheese (ew, creative much?), siclian (huge, pan pizza, thick thick crust..not a huge fan), and fresh mozzarella (which looks, you know ITALIAN), and the famous Grandma Pie (which I see as a more gourmet regular with thin crusts). There are some (tasty) more unique pies such as the Spinach Alfredo (sounds soo tasty, but baad) and the spicy chicken (common man buffalo was also there), Stuffed Crust Meat... you get the picture! There's something for everyone. For a health buff like myself, I went for the Whole Wheat Veggie ($3.25). Amazing texture- the pizza was cripsy yet soft, and also how light and airy it was. But the veggies atop kept the slice hearty. There was broccolis, tomatoes and onions primarily. For other veggie lovers, there was also an eggplant slice. I loved the whole wheat oven baked crust, but of course it was a bit dry as whole wheat goes but the flavor wasn't too compromised.
Service was fast and cordial. I read through Yelp that these guys are Albanian and so let's just say I appreciated that no one was gawking at me as they do to single ladies in other pizza joints. (Aw, don't be offended). Seems like they offer other fatty goodies such as hot hero sandwiches, cinnabons!!! (not that they looked that great here), and garlic knots (4 for $1- these did look tasty ) . When you pay for your pizza, you get to put red crushed and oregano on it (I wished that they had parmesan to sprinkle on too).
Then, I went to the gym afterward. And I didn't feel nasty! I never experienced delivery (and never will since I don't live in Brooklyn) but I would definitely stop by for a slice when I'm feeling pizza in the Slope. -

Best pizza/cheap "italian" in the area, and all the guys behind the counter are awesome! Oh and the place might look old and stuff, but its spotless. Nothing gross in there unlike many of the pizza places in the area!

I ordered from Antonio's using seamless web. It was a miserable, rainy night. I hadn't ordered from Antonio's before so I kept my hopes low - and with the weather being bad lowered them just a bit more. My hubby and I were too lazy to cook, so we were willing to take whatever dinner cards fate dealt us that evening.
We ordered the fresh mozz pie, garlic knots and a salad (my nod to health). The pizza arrived to the MINUTE on time, hot and delicious. Really nice crust, flavorful sauce and cheese. I was impressed. The garlic knots were delicious and even the garden salad was top notch for a garden salad (fresh, crisp vegetables). -

Not sure why it took me so long to try this place considering I walk by it almost everyday. I tried the Grandma pizza and I'm seriously hooked. It's the a solid "gourmet" type pizza for a fantastic price. Yum!
