First time eating here but not the last time coming back. I am a major pizza snob especially with myself being from the East Coast growing up on this style of pizza. Let's get into this review.
Location: Located on 409 W Front St in Hutto, TX and not the 109 W Front St location Yelp has up. I would know because it pulled me somewhere else. There is a little strip mall with a meat market right at the middle corner. This location was easy to find.
Atmosphere: Not a lot of seating space but definitely an open room. This space is good for the perfect get-in-get-the-fuck-out experience. Limited seating and tables is what I meant. Standard pizzeria with pizza smoke in the vincinity. I would say to have more vents to suction that smoke out. Otherwise, this is a very straightforward pizza experience. Similar to NYC pizzerias for sure.
Menu: Small menu. Perfect menu in my opinion. Not overbearing nor confusing. You pick what you want and go from there because it is PIZZA.
Food: Ordered like 8 slices total. 2 Cheese, 1 Half Texan, 1 Supreme, 3 Sicilians, 1 Bacon Ranch. Also ordered a Pepperoni Roll too. I will tell you right now that this place IS the hype. Keyword "is". That scrumptious bite was there. If you know pizza, you know about the 'bite'. The dough was close to perfect where it was thick enough to not break on itself but thin enough for the bite. I would only say my gripe is that the pizza dough could be a millimeter thinner and it would be pretty much perfect all the way around. Now another big plus was the sauce and cheese used. Close to also perfect. Only gripe? Too much grab on the cheese. Slightly less cheese and again, it would be just perfect. The Sicilian pizzas were absolutely perfect. I couldn't find anything with the Sicilians that I would change. The Half Texan was amazing. The cheese pizzas were great. The bacon ranch was nice too. I wasn't as fond of the Supreme. With all of this being said, officially I will crown Anthony's as the BEST pizza joint in the Austin area. Now I saw people ordering the Hawaiian pizzas and I almost threw the hell up all of the pizzas I ate. For all those sinful Hawaiian pizza lovers, I think that's disgusting.
Service: Excellent. They threw in an extra slice of Sicilian. That's love right there. Respect.
Value: This place is a major go. You'd be buggin' if you didn't want a good slice of pizza from this joint. This place does it right with great pricing.
Best pizza in the Austin area. No questions asked. Homeslice may win with their tenure in the area for a Brooklyn styled pie but Anthony's is a Brooklyn's pie. Also, I read this stupid ass review where one guy complained about too much pepperoni on a pizza. Why is you buggin' for? That's like saying, "Oh I won the lottery but you gave me too much money." I'm not kidding about this place being similar or exactly like a Brooklyn joint either. If you want an NYC pizza, this is the spot to go to.
My Rating:
5/5 - No regrets. Will definitely come back. Keep doing what you're doing. read more
