This Vons in Avalon is an absolute game-changer for Catalina Island! Built in 2019 (learned that…read morefun fact in our adventure tour )it's modern, clean, and impressively well-stocked for an island grocery store. You can really tell this was a major upgrade for the community. The store layout is spacious and easy to navigate, the produce is fresh, and there's a great selection of everything from everyday essentials to vacation snacks and drinks. Prices are reasonable considering the location, and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful, exactly what you want when you're on island time. Only downfall: the restroom felt like a sauna. It was so hot in there that it was genuinely uncomfortable, and I came out sweating. Please turn the AC on in the restroom, it would make a big difference! Overall, whether you're a local or visiting Avalon, this Vons makes grocery shopping convenient and stress-free. Still highly recommend!

It's $5 for a slice, and $2.25 for a side of their homemade pasta salad, which isn't too bad. The size of the pasta salad leaves you wanting more, but I guess it's fair for the price you pay. Service: No complaints! Pretty quick at the to-go window. Ambiance: Ordered to go, but you can see the interior from the outside, which has a classic, cozy feel to it. Seems there's limited seating inside, but there are tables out front as well.

The first thing you notice is the vibe. The place leans into a classic, old-school pizzeria feel with a 1950s-style theme and casual seating. You walk in, order at the counter, and either grab a table or take your slice to go. It feels local, not overly polished, which adds to the experience. The pizza stands out for its thin, slightly crispy crust with a soft chew. The sauce and cheese balance well, and the slices come out hot and loaded with flavor. If you like a New York-style slice with a bit of grease and crunch, this hits. One of the best parts is the flexibility. You grab pizza by the slice, which makes it easy to try different toppings without committing to a whole pie. That works well for visitors who want something quick between activities. The menu goes beyond pizza too. You'll find pasta, sandwiches, garlic bread, and salads, so there's something for everyone in your group. Service is straightforward and friendly. Nothing over the top, but efficient and welcoming, which fits the casual island atmosphere. The place gets busy, so expect a bit of a crowd during peak hours. Overall, Original Antonio's is a solid, no-frills pizza stop on Catalina Island. You go here for a quick, flavorful slice and a relaxed local feel, not a fancy dining experience. If you're in Avalon and want dependable pizza, this spot earns a stop.

I tried to get shots of current supplies, but as I we were in the middle of a heat wave I didn't want to open the freezer/fridge doors, so apologies for the reflections, hopefully it still is helpful.

I asked the dr to send the prescription to Leo's as they appear to be the only drugstore in the area. After a couple hours I called Leo's to ensure they received the prescription. The person who answered was not very helpful. After checking their system and reiterating twice they did not receive it, she finally checked with someone who said they have it but since I hadn't used them before I need to provide them additional info once I arrive. She would not take the info over the phone. So after I arrive she gives me a slip of paper and asked me to fill it out. They requested some info I did not have which apparently come from a prescription card. I have had the same medical insurance for over ten years and have never been asked for that and so I mentioned I did not know the info they wanted. She said if I didn't know it, I would have to pay full price and so I asked how much and whether they had a way to find what the missing info is. She said she didn't know until after they filled it. She walked into the back for a moment then came back and basically said "It will be ready at 2:30". So I just figured they were able to get the info they needed from my medical insurance. I went outside and logged in to my medical insurance app and used their Virtual Assistant to ask how to find my prescription card. it took my to my Express Scripts account. After a quick search on ES site, I found the prescription card they were asking for, downloaded the info and went back inside to give them the info. It was a different person behind the counter this time and so I explained the situation and showed her the card and info. She wrote down all the info and I left. Returned at 2:30 and they tell me that the info provided isn't correct and so ended up paying full price. The 2nd person obviously did not provide the prescription card info to the pharmacist when I went back inside. I wasn't feeling well so really didn't feel like arguing with them about it. My fault for not knowing I had a prescription card with info that's different than my medical insurance. However it didn't help that they were not friendly nor helpful. And like I said, I know I paid full price because the 2nd person didn't give the pharmacist the prescription card info I provided to her. Recommend the store for trinkets but not if you are needing to get a prescription filled. I feel bad for the residents that this is their only choice.

We had dinner in the area and needed a few things for our hotel…read more Our friends lived in the area and needed to pickup groceries for their place. We tagged along. I know all Walmarts have a standard staple items for their stores and groceries stores. However, all states and cities always stock some kind of local things specific to the area. Like the local coffee beans or honey as an example. For that, I am the crazy person who looks for that! This store sells everything. You can find the meat department, dairy, vegetables/fruits, bakery, drinks, pastas/rice, frozen, candy, miscellaneous household items and much more!!! The aisles seemed spacious. Overall, a great experience! The store was clean and stocked. The staff were friendly and helpful. Ample parking. My better half bought some things for family. We found some specialty coffee beans and spices. I only purchased drinks for our room.

In addition, I could receive the bars the same day w/ free delivery. I ended up liking the bars and will buy more. Nonetheless, I will buy them from Walmart bc the price is cheaper vs Amazon, and Walmart offers the bars in smaller packs.
