The al fresco dining area
Michael R.

This is my favorite pizza in the entire city. Usually I call ahead and get takeout but I have eaten in the restaurant as well and it was a very enjoyable experience with great service. On a nice evening it's great to sit outside and people watch added benefit is it's only 2 blocks to Lake Eola so you can walk off the calories. The thing that makes this pizza my favorite is that the crust is thin and it has the perfect amount of cheese on it. But the sauce is the best I have ever had. I normally like toppings on pizza but with Anthony's I want plain cheese so I can savor the perfection

Pepperoni pizza
Joe W.

My son and I had limited time to eat before a show, so I called in advance to see if we could place an order (or get a pizza started for us) before we arrived to sit down and eat. While they stated normally they don't, especially on a weekend, Savannah accommodated us. Not only was the pizza ready for us just a few moments after sitting down, but her service was impeccable. My son, a pizza connoisseur, believes this is a top 5 pizza in Central Florida, and though it was our first time trying it, I don't disagree at all. Thank you so much for the food and friendly service, Savannah.

Buffalo Wings
Brad T.

Came here for brunch and ordered wings. Dont judge! So the wings were a great size and cooked really well. The buffalo was solid but I probably should've got them spicier The lemon pepper was amazing! Honestly, sitting outside and dinning was pretty fun. There was a TV too so we were able to watch sports

Garlic knots
Lawrence U.

This place has been consistent when it comes to food. Garlic knots are fresh and tasty. The sweet garlic topping not too greasy. The turn around was fast for the appetizer. Ordered the pizza, Hot Honey- pepperoni, sopraseta, mozzarella, red onions, with a drizzle of hot honey. Service was fast and friendly. Parking is a challenge especially on weekends. Place is clean.

Elfrida R.

Placed an online order for pickup; easy and simple. Went to pickup and the restaurant is cute and clean. The staff was nice except for one young lady behind the counter that seemed annoyed. The restaurant is walking distance from Lake Eola. Their pizza is delicious. My boss only buys pizza from them. He calls the the big pizza chains fake, and will only eat pizza from Anthony's. He said that is as close to Italian as you can get. My apologies for not taking pics of the piz

Chicken Palermo, meatball sliders, fried ravioli
Cheryl W.

This was a perfect dinner spot before a Magic game! Since we were there during happy hour, we tried the meatball sliders and fried ravioli from the happy hour food menu. Both were excellent, and of course it's always a bonus to have food options on the happy hour menu for parties that include members who can't drink! We also had the Chicken Palermo which our server recommended. It was absolutely delicious-- very flavorful and thick sauce, pasta cooked to perfection, and juicy chicken throughout. Our server was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive without being overwhelming, and so thoughtful with the whole experience. We sat in the outdoor seating which was lovely (& covered to protect you from whatever Florida elements are present at the time you go). It had a casual yet nice vibe which we really enjoyed and reasonable prices for the quality of food and atmosphere. We will absolutely be back!

Mason L.

Really solid experience! It was my first time coming here and I definitely wasn't disappointed. We opted to sit inside because of the heat, but outside definitely seemed like it would be more enjoyable. Super generous portion and really good price. Service, admittedly, was good but almost...too attentive lol. It felt like they were checking on us too often, especially for as quiet as it was inside.

Philly cheesesteak sub
Shanice W.

Had brunch at Anthony's in Thornton Park and had a great experience! It was a slow morning, which made for excellent, attentive service. Ali, our bartender and waitress, was awesome--friendly and super helpful. We went for the bottomless mimosas at just $18 per person, which is a fantastic deal. To start, we had the ricotta meatballs--absolutely delicious! For entrees, we ordered the half chicken parmesan and Philly cheesesteak subs. While the Philly cheesesteak wasn't my favorite (just a personal preference--I wanted to try something new), the pasta salad it came with was incredible. So flavorful! Only downside is that parking can be a bit tricky in the area, but that wouldn't stop me from coming back. Definitely planning to return!

Extravaganza pizza
Tanya V.

The foods are so delicious that I would love to come back there again on next time! Their service is excellent for me. Ambiance is good cozy and nice old African song.

Meat Combo
Jazmine B.

I'll save you the thought process... JUST GO! first of all super cute patio section. Absolutely loved sitting outside, very well covered, fans blowing, decorated nicely, and also it's spacious( doesn't seem like we're all sitting on top of each other) our Server Olivia was super sweet, quick and observant. Def req for her! Ok so on to the food... Started with Mozzarella sticks and garlic Knots and honey honey ( in my Beyoncé voice ) the garlic knots I could eat all day!!!! The pizza I was a little nervous but the " Meat combo " was really good!!!!! ( def check the videos and pictures ) The picky kids got chicken tenders and fries and I may or may not have taken some of the fries and a bite of chicken when they were looking ( also good fries hot and fresh ) Also had a drink menu just didn't get anything. Lemon drop looked good. They also have indoor seating. And a BAR AREA inside that felt like a secret club lol My ONLY take away was the parking. Super tight and only but so many spaces. Overall though HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Menu

My wife and I decided to try Anthony's Pizzeria, and it did not disappoint. Since it wasn't too busy, we sat inside. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I asked to keep the drink menu for a bit, and while she was fine with it, a manager came by to take it a couple of minutes later, which felt a bit odd. We ordered the garlic knots, and for an extra charge, we could add mozzarella on top--highly recommended! Our waitress suggested dipping them in Alfredo sauce, which was an amazing addition. For the main course, I had the lasagna, and it was delicious. If you're looking for tasty Italian food, I definitely recommend giving Anthony's a try.

Chicken Piccata
Rachel E.

Edit: if you can dine in, go to Anthony's Thornton park!!! - there are two parking lots dedicated to the buisness. The one on the right is easiest to park in IMHO - Bridgette is a treasure. She made certain our family was well cared for and that everything was on point. Couldn't be happier with the service - they have a bar area, and indoor/outdoor covered dining. EXTREMELY family friendly. High chairs, booster seats, menus with crayons to keep toddlers entertained, and a friendly knowledgeable staff. A++ for kids. - their upside down pizza is quite tasty. Reminds me of a west philadelphia danger pie. Saucy on top. I recommend adding red pepper flakes for an extra bite. Also it was perfectly crisp. - chicken picatta is my #1 recommendation. It's the best picatta I've had yet in Orlando. - the mussels were fresh and absolutely bathed in a white wine broth. Get extra garlic knots to enjoy that broth! - their cannolis are made in house and filled fresh. We had the Nutella cannoli and we just about locked the plate clean. It's a can't miss dessert. Get it. You won't be disappointed. I recommend trying for earlier seating as this place filled up by 7pm. Super sad to be making this one star review. I have just moved to Orlando and I have ordered from Anthony's 3 times. Their chicken piccata is quite good. However I called tonight before posting this review and the dismissive-ness I was met with on the phone before they hung up to take another call was noteworthy. 1) Their vegetable side dishes. They charge 1$ an ounce. That means 1$ per floret of broccoli. The spinach is definitely not an entire side portion. 2) Their pizza is way underdone. Definitely does not hold up to a New York fold. 3) the salmon smelled quite fishy when I opened it. I honestly haven't tried it. 4) the kids spaghetti and meatballs comes with one single meatball. I think the portion is good but my kid wouldn't eat it. The picatta is good. Could use more lemon. I hate posting low reviews, which is why I usually call first to give every restaurant a chance to fix what could be a simple mistake. On the phone they said that this was all intentional and 'what did I expect when I ordered from Uber eats'. Maybe you get better service in person, but if you are a mom of littles like me and ordering for your kids this is not your best option.

Veggie Pizza
Caitlin L.

I tried the veggie pizza from Anthony's Thornton Park location and took it to go. The service was super fast and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I got medium (which imo would comfortably serve 2-3 people). I received my pizza in less than 15 minutes after ordering at the counter. The flavor of the pizza was great, but I gave it 3 stars as the middle of the pizza was so thin that it just fell apartment when I tried to tear each piece off. A lot of the toppings, cheese and all, peeled off when I would tear off a piece. Closer to the crust the pizza held its form and the toppings much better. If you like super thin pizza then this is the place for you, but I personally prefer a bit of a more structured pizza. The ambiance was standard pizza place. It was very clean and has an outdoor covered patio for those wanting to enjoy their pizza outside.d

Best Bianca pizza! Dog friendly too

Just a heads up, the ordering experience is a little different. They bring you water, but everything else is ordered from your phone. Personally, I usually prefer more traditional table service if I'm sitting down, but for what it is, it works just fine. Now the real star... the pepperoni, jalapeño, honey pizza. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I think about it weekly. The sweet + spicy combo is unreal. They also have a bar, which makes it feel like a great spot for after-work drinks or a casual happy hour meetup. Overall, definitely a solid go-to downtown.

You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The inside is pretty small with just a few tables, but it's attached to a brewery which makes it a great setup because you can grab your pizza and head over for a beer. If you're going with someone, my recommendation is definitely to split a pizza and get the "Kale Me on My Cellphone" salad. The salad is honestly so good and loaded with toppings like artichokes, tomatoes, bacon, egg, and cheese. The green goddess dressing completely makes it super fresh, bright, and zingy. I even ended up dipping my pizza crust into the dressing because it was that good. This time we ordered the Gabagool, and I've had the Green Ranger in the past. Both pizzas are super flavorful and really well done. I think I slightly prefer the pizzas with the pistachio pesto base because the flavor combo is so unique, but honestly you can't go wrong with either option. Definitely one of those casual spots that feels a little underrated and worth checking out if you're in the area.

What keeps it interesting, though, is how the atmosphere continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. At its core, this is classic New York-style grab-and-go pizza. You order by choosing slices through the glass, with plenty of options that go beyond traditional toppings--standouts like chicken bacon ranch and buffalo-style slices are clearly crowd favorites. The atmosphere is where Gitto's really shines. From the outside, it looks like a simple hole-in-the-wall, but once inside, there's more personality and energy than you'd expect. The complimentary garlic knots were an unexpected and appreciated bonus. The dough is flavorful and familiar--exactly what you want from a NYC-style slice. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch, and it delivered: not overly sauced (which is key, since ranch can easily overpower), perfectly cooked bacon, and solid chicken that didn't taste frozen or pre-made. Pizza is subjective, and this is just my experience--but it's important to judge Gitto's for what it is. This is New York grab-and-go pizza, not Italian, Chicago, Detroit, or a big chain like Papa John's. If you know the style going in and set your expectations accordingly, this place absolutely delivers.

Once I tried the sauce, I knew pizza was gonna be great (and it was!) I decided to also put in an order for the meatballs. The meatballs and the pizza came out there roughly around the same time. The meatballs were so great. I even forgot to take a picture. The outdoor patio at the time was very quiet and conveniently shaded because of the time of the day. Although I can't say that the chairs were the most comfortable for a pregnant woman, I did really enjoy my time outside with my dog. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the food and would 100% come back. Next time I want to try to dine inside too.
