Michael Anthony’s Pizzeria & Restaurant

Great pizza, so we decided to dine in on Valentine’s Day they had a great special going. Everyone should dine here as well as get their pizza here. We love Michael Anthony’s !

On my first call for an order the girl puts the phone down on the counter firgets about it and leaves me sitting there listening to everything going on in the kitchen

Besides the fact I found hair in my food and waited 45 minutes for food. When we were finally done our waitress just disappeared for another 20 minutes. Turned out she was just hanging out in the back flirting with one of the staff members.

Truth be told, I’m a bit of a pizza snob. With that being said, I give this place a solid 4-​star review.
I’ve been to this place a handful of times.

The food was excellent, we went on a double date in the dining area. It was clean and quiet. The only complain is the waitress we had kept rushing us and we were the only couple there at 6:30 pm we just couldn’t understand why, she also took food when we weren’t done because it looked done and before you were able to say you weren’t done she was gone with the plate.

I’ve stopped here more than once to give it more than one chance since it’s just around the corner. I’ve tried a few different specialty slices, they were all mediocre, not bad. What really made me decide to discontinue buying their slices was an early afternoon Stop I made here for a quick slice right after they opened when I saw their slices still plastic wrapped from the night before to be used for the present day. They just opened and all of their slices should be freshly made (not plastic wrap and refrigerated from the night prior) especially if there was only 8 or so specialty slices. I’m really not picky, but I don’t want your leftovers. How much money in materials could you possibly save by plastic wrapping and refrigerating those slices? I took one look at them and walked out and got a fresh warm slice elsewhere. This review is for their slices only so don’t let it stop you from trying their sit down or take out from their kitchen which could be a different experience. The good I’ve seen coming out of the kitchen looks good and I’m sure if you ordered a fresh pie it would be good.

We had looked around at multiple places to cater my daughters Communion. The owner invited my family of 5 down To taste test the food at no charge! He answered all the questions about how much we needed truthfully and didn’t try to take us for a ride. They delivered the food sterns racks n utensils and help set it all up. The priced were great and he threw in extra stuff. please note we didn’t cater a 200 person affair so it wasn’t like he had to give us freebies bc we spent alot. We love this place and will definitely be using them again

Eating out is hard with for my mom and I, with my wheat and dairy allergies, and my mom who has celiac, but Michael Anthony’s has so many gluten and dairy free options that actually taste amazing!
We started off with the fried calamari (since we never can get the battered fried stuff), mom had the GF lasagna that she said is really unique kind of like a crêpe with polenta and lots of meat, I had the veal parmigiana (minus the parmigiana part). Both amazing. Everything is made to order, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, definitely recommend!

We celebrated my grandmother’s 80^th birthday. You made food for fifty ppl. Great food, the garlic knots, so delicious. Polite and helpful staff.
Thank you very much

My family has been ordering from the owner for about 25 years. Many of these places open up, start off great and then sacrifice quality for profits. This has not been the case for this restaurant. Decent pizza places are hard to find in this area and I highly recommend this one for people who are looking for good quality and excellent service. Try their garlic knots, too.

I was at restaurant and writing a review about the rude staff but I changed my mind and deleted because maybe they were having a bad day. we’re all human right ?! Well once I got home and bit into the pizza I changed my mind real quick. my household has been ordering from Michael Anthonys for years now and in the past couple of months I noticed a down fall in they’re flavor. Well today I came in on my way home from work and ordered a pie there so by the time I got home it would still be fresh and hot. Well I ordered sat down and my pizza was done with in 6 minutes. I found that odd but continued to make my way home .
The pizza was horrible! The dough was soggy a day the cheese was all over the place. The pizza was not hot ! So what that tells me is that they gave me someone’s pick up so I wasn’t sitting there bothering them. That’s the impression I got when I walked in that I was an inconvenience to them. Well needless to say this will be the last time we ever order pizza from here or anything else.

We only ordered two things and that’s all I’m basing my rating on. We ordered a large pizza, half cheese, half pepperoni and three pepperoni rolls.
The pepperoni rolls were small but cheap, around 80cents each. They were warmed up in the oven and fairly tasty.
The pizza was very big, 18″. One was enough to feed three adult males. It was a standard tasting pizza, but it was very floppy and did not hold together very well. Another thing is that they have hot sauce upon request, but it is thin and watery and doesn’t stick to the pizza.

I had just a basic pepperoni pizza — but it was delicious! Definitely will go back, and their menu is so extensive that anyone is sure to find something to their liking.

This review is for the (dine-​in) restaurant; I haven’t had their pizza yet.
Came here the first time (Nov 2013) because it’s close to the SCCC Ammerman campus and I passed by here with someone who was hungry (the person driving).
Their food is pretty good.
They also have a special menu for different days of the week. (Like Surf & Turf Mondays and Date Night Fridays, I think.)
The waitress we have/​had is very nice and remembers us. It’s a simple, clean place. They change up the decorations and music for holidays though; Christmas garlands and Christmas music for the holidays and hearts everywhere (including heart-​shaped candles) for Valentine’s, etc.
Like every Italian restaurant, they provide bread before serving your appetizers/​entrees.
I’ve had their calamari: it’s good, but a little too salty/​flavorful sometimes.
They give you big portions for meals though! I always have a lot to take home (even though I usually don’t finish my food when I eat out…).
I haven’t had any desserts because I’m really picky with that too and I’m just not a fan of cannoli, among other things.
Have been back multiple times and will keep going back.

This is the only place I can order and have it delivered to my house. The pizza is always warm NOT hot. In about a period of ⁶⁄₈ months of ordering pizzas from Michael Anthony only twice have I not had to reheat the pizza in my own oven.

I’ve only ever tried their pizza, and based on that, I’m not anxious to try anything more. The service and people are very nice, so this review is only in the hopes that they improve.
I ordered pizza 3 times from them. The first time the pizza was tasteless and soggy. The second time it was completely undercooked. Soggy and doughy… one of the worst pizzas I’ve ever eaten. The third time, I asked them to cook it well, and told them about my previous experiences. They were very nice, and cooked it as per my request. The pizza was still soggy and had hardly any flavor.
I feel terrible panning their restaurant, but with so many pizza joints around, it’s definitely not my imagination. I hope that they make an effort to improve their cooking method.
Cheers.

Best pizza in town

I went here with my girlfriend who has a gluten allergy. They have an extensive GF menu. The meal was very good with plenty of flavor. Service was solid and they had a live singer that night who was very entertaining.
We now have more than one GF Italian restaurant to choose from which is a good thing.

Mike has hit it out of the park in his new location! Pizza is best in town. All the pasta and dinner dishes are as good as they get
You have to try the Rigatoni MaMa. Its not on the menu yet but ask for it. Its a wonderful pink cream sauce with sausage, sun dried tomatoes and a hint of pesto
Another must have is the Bensonhurst Upside down Pizza. Its a Sicilian pie with fresh mozzarella under the sauce. The cheese melts into the dough.

Another pizza joint that I’ve passed hundreds of times, but never had to stop in since Villa Grazia is a block away (
). But I couldn’t pass up the chance to check it out with the Groupon Now offer for $ 1 for $ 10 worth of lunch.
With my $ 1 Groupon, I got:
1) Meatball Hero: Huge 12″ hero with 5 handball-​sized meatballs, tasty sauce, gooey cheese, on freshly toasted Italian bread.
2) Sicilian Slice: Good size slice with the same tasty sauce & gooey cheese, fluffy/​chewy dough & crispy crunchy corner crust.
Yum! This $ 1 Groupon for «lunch» actually lasted me 3 lunches, and I’m a huge fan for that. Everything still tasted good after being reheated; Michael Anthony’s will definitely be added into the pizza rotation!
