Clayton might have attitude, but he makes the best pizza in Franklin County! I get the comments about him but I think it's just in humor.

The food is good BUT just like many others have said before me, the front of house staff, especially the owner who is an old skinny man with gray hair, is VERY VERY RUDE. I get that they are busy and are in a hurry, but that doesn't give them the right to talk to their customers like they do. He probably gets away with it because he's one of the only pizza shops in the area but that is going to bite him in the ass one day. I meet with a large group of people in that area every few months and we have been buying our pizzas there, LARGE ORDERS. But after the way he barked at me today, no way, we will be taking our money elsewhere. And its a shame because you see how hard the rest of the staff are working, then you have this @sshole working the counter being a total JERK to people who want to put money in HIS POCKETS!!! Its crazy!!!!!!!!! Also, don't bother asking or paying for extra, you won't get it. Today was my third time asking for extra cheese on my pizza and they will always only give you the very minimum, no matter how much you're willing to shell out. Great workers, good food, NIGHTMARE of an owner. Go somewhere else. read more

Antonio's II Pizza & Grinders - Pizza Near Me - Bernardston, Massachusetts

This place was awful. There were so many flies inside, bothering us, trying to land on our food. It was disgusting. I'm not talking about 2-3. More like twenty (and you can see dead flies on things). I doubt it's sanitary. The food had no taste. The slices of pizza had a red sauce but I doubt any fresh tomatoes. I ordered a steak & cheese grinder. Again, no flavor and most of the meat was nasty gristle. I would tell anyone not to go there unless you want be nauseated. read more

Antonio's two pizza and grinders made me feel right at home. I went there every day for a week for lunch while I was at work in the area. They knew me by name they knew what I like to order they always said hello and goodbye the service was barn And the pizza was delicious. read more

Came in on recommendation and was not disappointed. People at the front are aggressively sarcastic, but in a friendly and humorous way. Keep that in mind. Food is good and comes out fast, I had their steak and cheese and found it real dang filling. They also have their own beers which was quite a surprise. read more

Sports radio is on as background noise during the day and Antonio's II produces some witty commercials. In hearing them so much, our party of 2 decided to take the 1/2 hour drive for a slice. The appearance could use an update, but that doesn't stop us, some dives have great food. We ordered and received our food. The cheese quality wasn't fantastic, the slice was very thick and heavy. The service was friendly and the place was clean. We left saying they definitely have "food for radio" and will continue to expand our radius for some good pizza. read more

Had 12" inch chicken parm grinder toasted to go to eat at home. It was tasty, good, sauce but was not toasted( it felt warm because it was on top of the oven but not toasted.) It had three slender chicken strips, not cutlet as one would expect but the worse thing was over half was bread and sauce. Mushy bread and sauce. Not good. read more

My friends, do not waste time or money here. Loud obnoxious owner lies tells false truths about the ingredients. Low grade mozzarella cheese, sausage is on level of Domino's pizza. People if i may say it's worth the trip, Drive to Greenfield. Village pizza, #1 Unfortunately bernardston slim competition. Take the time. May you take Trip North and drive up to A1 Pizza in Hinsdale New Hampshire. Excellent . Much better ingredients toppings are huge compared to antons 2. Trust us. You will be satisfied anywhere but here at Anton 2. Poor service. read more

The owner is commendably caustic. Lot of respect for someone who can be so authentically off putting seemingly unintentionally. That's just who he is at the core. Amazing. I applaud you sir. Still in business too. Chapeau to you. I'd be willing to enjoy the putrid attitude if the product was good. However, this thorn is without a rose. Pizza sauce tastes like straight tomato paste. The crust though, perhaps the worst part of this nightmare of a pizza place. Thought I was getting Italian crust, skillfully stretched until thin and light. instead I got a thicker poofy type of sadness with a doughy consistency on top and a tough bottom. Seldom do I meet a pizza I don't like. Tasted like it was rushed and cooked by people devoid of the capacity to love. The soul of the pie seemed wilted by the foul emotional climate. Update: The toppings are pretty good at least. I peeled them off and made other stuff with them so that it wasn't a total loss. Good grief. read more

I am having a GREAT time and I am just talking about standing in line.I wanted whatever the guy working here was having, and share it with the world. He had a dose of love for his business, and I went along for the ride, and food. The BYO pizza slice is always a fan favorite, because you can get those toppings like artichokes that nobody else loves. I also enjoyed the beer options, and was glad to sit outside after a hiking day with my pup and eat. Very few places allow dogs, even outdoors, so happiness was multiplied. I believe that name Antonio's II should be so called because you will want to come back a second time, and that is just to get back in line. read more

Antonio's II Pizza & Grinders - Where is mine?!?! - Pizza Near Me - Bernardston, Massachusetts

Very good Pizza!! Love the Neapolitan style pizza!! Will definatly go back!! Try the Meisterburger Pizza!!

Why Is Clayton so rude? It is such a bummer. It is not quirky or funny. It sucks. Yuck.

Good pizza, Owner is rude and a A-hole. The rest of staff is great and plesant! Too bad he works the counter and is customer facing.

As so many others have stated, the owner is a snarling mess. He used to cater for a local school's sporting events and even then the kids made fun of him because he was like an SNL or Seinfeld parody of anger with *them*. "No soup for you!" Right across the park there is Hillside Pizza, a delightful and delicious place to patronize. Even closer to 91. I feel for restaurant owners during the pandemic and its aftermath. Normally, I would forgive lapses in service, but Clayton has been like this for the decade-ish we've known of him. No one should go through life this angry. I hope he gets some professional help. read more

we went there last night not expecting a lot. What we got was just great! I had the eggplant parm and my husband had the lasagna. Both were excellent. The little Surprises were the fresh baked rolls and the vast beer selection. Would definitely go back and try the pizza which also looked great. read more

Quality Italian pizza & grinders, prices are good, a lot of people order out but we've come in here to sit down a few times & it's nice, kids are welcome. Everyone comments how rude the owner is but people need to get over it you're ordering pizza & he's Italian. Shit happens read more

See all

Insanely rude owner. Buddy is lucky there's not much to chose from around the area. Only gave 2 stars is due to solid quality of food. If you have options, use your money elsewhere! read more

The pizza is very greasy and the crust so thin you can't eat it with your hands as the toppings, and a bunch of the grease, slide off and land up all over your fingers. It's hard to get a basic like pizza wrong but they do. read more

This is one of the best places for a pie in Franklin County! The crust is fantastic. The toppings are plentiful. The service is great and the price is extremely fair. read more

We have been wanting to try this place for awhile now. Usually it is very busy or we are on a time schedule. We finally got to try it out. I got the chicken parm and my husband got the spaghetti and meatballs. My chicken was disgusting and the pasta sauce had absolutely no flavor at all. My husband felt the same with his dish. This is what we call "a one and done" !! read more

pizza is good but the grinders are nothing but roll with no meat in it. they are the skimpiest grinders I have ever seen.

It's been 10 years since the last time I ordered food from here because the owner has a serious attitude problem. We figured we'd give it a go as there's not many food shops open during the Quarantine. I called up with a list of three items I had written down. As I was done with the first item and started saying the second item I got interrupted by the owner " I NEED YOU TO TALK AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE", it took longer for me to stop and here that then it would've taken me to order my food!! Don't be fooled by his add he had on the radio awhile back apologizing for the way he acts he's still a dick. Why 2 stars not 1? The Kickin Chicken pizza wasn't that bad read more

Worst customer service ever. Yelp wants me to write more but there's nothing more to say.

Found this place last minute, trying to avoid traffic. First of all, Apple Maps had the hours wrong- they ARE open on Sundays. Simple, no frills decor, but comfortable booths and clean. Delicious homemade soup, big pizza to fill hungry bellies, and a great beer selection. Perfect for a quick dinner on a road trip- we'll be back!! read more

This restaurant is completely pedestrian. The food is passable IF made correctly, but the pizza had been consistently terrible. I had a calzone yesterday that was small with barely any ingredients. This place has the distinction of selling me the WORST pizza and calzone I've ever had. Although I periodically have tried this place over the years I am consistently disappointed. The ONLY reason to go here is it's the only restaurant in town open late. read more

Stopped here to get a quick bite with some friends. They asked if we wanted to dine in or eat to go, I said to go because it would just be easier to grab. We waited a while so when they brought us the food we just figured we'd eat where we were sitting (restaurant was pretty much empty with a few others sitting at booths). So we were almost finished with our meal and then some guy in a green shirt said "Do you guys not know what to go means, it means to GO!" It was very demeaning and rude for no reason. We were allowed to sit inside so I'm not sure why it was that big of a deal, I thought we'd be doing a favor by not having any dishes to clean. I work in a restaurant and the customer is always right and there is was really no reason to be that angry over nothing. read more

Not exactly sure who this guy thinks he is... The guy taking orders over the phone? He was extremely rude and impatient! I read the reviews, made SURE I had all of our order details ready. It was the fact that he needed my call back number in order to put the order on a credit card. I started listing off my phone number beginning with the area code and waited for him to either repeat the number or say, "Okay." Instead he yelled at me, "COME ON! Come on! I don't have all day!" He then proceeded to explain, in a very harsh tone, further wasting his own time, as to why I shouldn't take so long ordering! What is the matter with this guy? I will NEVER order from this place again. I'll drive into town next time. I think the only thing this place has going for them is the fact that it is the only place that delivers to certain areas. That being said, I find it hard to believe that they are SO busy that the amount of time it takes to recite a 10 digit phone number is causing them any money. The fact that this guy can't get his head out of his own ass is where the real loss of money is coming from. read more

Every other pizza place in this area serves the same greasy Greek styled pizza. From Brattleboro through Greenfield, it's always the same thing. That's why my friends and I LOVE Antonio's. It's the only pizza in the upper Valley area that's unique. Their large cheese pizza is the best in the upper Valley area. My dad and brother usually get the 'MeisterBurger' which has bacon, mushroom, swiss cheese and hamburg. My sister and I often get the 'Stroll Thru The Garden' which has tomato, spinich, eggplant, artichoke hearts and broccoli. Sometimes mom will bring home the 'Mediterranean' which we all enjoy. The Mediterranean has pesto, spinach, roasted red peppers, black olives and feta cheese. The subs are awesome too!!!! We gotten the cheeseburger one, pastrami, ham and cheese and the big ol' steak and cheese. Foot longs are $5.50 if they're hot or $5.00 cold. They also have 6 inch sizes for $3.25 and $3.00 They don't take credit cards, but I don't have one anyway.... Nor do my friends. My mother does, but we usually go here on the way to and from something and she pays with cash. They have video games and a tv. My boyfriend plays the games when we go. It's the best and most unique pizza in the area. Friendly staff, subs, pizza, games. I recommend it highly. read more

This is by far the best pizza in the tri-state area. I drive 25 miles one way to get their pizza and the whole family are Antonio's fans. I have converted many a pizza affection-ado to their pie and the Monster Pizza is the best deal a hungry family of 6 + could get. The crust is fresh and cooked to perfection, the sauce is second to none and the toppings.... Bella Mia! Just don't piss off Clayton and you will be in Pizza Heaven. Grinders are top notch and I hear their home-made soups are the best. Stop on by..You will be glad you did.. I should get a free lunch for this... They also offer a cash discount. read more

Great Pizza!! Always have a laugh watching the crew here. My favorite place for a draft beer and a couple of slices. The owner Clayton has a wicked sense of humor, and has great interaction with his customers. read more

Antonio's II Pizza & Grinders - Most consistent pizza around. Always a great place for a slice and beer. Great crust too. - Pizza Near Me - Bernardston, Massachusetts

Service is A+! Sample beers before you try! Great selection of beer and wine. And cannot forget to mention the pizza! Wow it's good. Spent about 8 bucks for two slices of delicious cheese pizza and a pint of Ithica Wildflower. Made my stay an excellent one while visiting the quaint town of Northfield, MA. Highly recommended if you are in the mood for a great atmosphere good beer and some delicious pizza! read more

So I'll start with the food. It's good. Really good. My Italian husband loves it. One of the only local places to get ITALIAN pizza, instead of Greek pizza which we have surrounding us (which is also delicious, it's just different.) The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the food and the staff are awesome. The employees are so great. And now my review of Clayton, the a$$hole owner. RUDEST, most condescending douchebag I've ever dealt with in a business. I called in our order, where I was unnecessarily and rudely corrected for calling the smallest size pizza a "small." He bit my head off and said "it's a 14" pizza!!" Uh, ok, whatever bruh. It's your smallest pizza. He cut me off so many times while ordering I forgot to add a salad so unfortunately had to call back. That was fun. How dare I!? At the end of the call I was told and I quote "it will be ready in 45 minutes! LISTEN TO MY WORDS!!! 45 MINUTES! 4-5!!" Needless to say I sent my husband in because if I had gone in he and his customers would have heard exactly what I thought of him and it most likely would have resulted in the police being called..on me! The reviewer above saying "he's Italian" so deal with his rage issues is beyond offensive and stereotypical. My husband is 100% Italian and would NEVER talk to customers this way! read more

3 times I've ordered pizza from here, and all 3 instances were extremely disappointing. For what you pay for a large specialty pizza, you'd think it would be better. Firstly: you don't put marinara on pizza in lieu of pizza sauce. Marinara is for mozzarella sticks or pasta. Second: proper cheese blend is important. It seems the folks at Antonio's II believe that Mozzarella is the only thing that goes on pizza. You need to blend it with at least 20% cheddar for some flavor. Third: COOK YOUR PIZZA!! All 3 times I got one of their pies, the cheese was melted.... no color to it at all, which added to its lack of flavor. The cheese on these pies should have a nice golden color coming out of the oven, not the looks of just melted Mozzarella in a ring of pie crust. The color is that of a fishes belly, and it's not even stringy when you eat it. To top it off, it always arrived cold when delivered.... I work 8 minutes away. Do not recommend Antonio's II. Order Dominos. read more

As others have said, the man who seems to (somehow) be running the place has a severely hostile attitude, and honestly seems to have his rage issue barely under control. The pizza is also really sub par, and with such below average food, one would hope for better customer service. Please do not support this place. Right down the road is Hillside Pizza with much better food and friendly faces. read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Great service, good prices. An added plus: the green across from Antonio's -- a nice place to eat. read more

Some of the best pizza outside NY and we know because we grew up eating real pizza made by real Italians. They know how to do crust right...chewy, tender...get the thin crust for the real NY experience! Their thin crust Think Spring is to die for, if you like a white vegetarian style with a lotta garlic. Kitchen Sink is for the meat lovers. I could go on, but no need. Consistent excellence! read more

Adding another terrible review referring to the tool of an owner. Super disappointed constantly with his level of rudeness. Since when is it a burden to try to order food from a restaurant?! I live in Bernardston and would be glad to make the extra drive to any other pizza place to be treated with respect. read more

If I could rate this place a negative 10 I would sadly I have to give it 1 star which is wildly absurd. This pizza is tasteless and is hard to bite through, much like cardboard with shitty canned tomato paste. I ordered a bacon pineapple pizza which even from dominos is very flavorful. This pizza was atrocious. Even the pineapple was bland. How is that possible?!!! Not to mention the complete A hole who took my order like he's doing me a favor and couldn't be bothered with me. If this place blew up I would throw a party and have all my friends piss on the ashes of this horrible place. Burn in hell you piece of shit read more

How this place is still in business is beyond me. The pizza is ok at best, the grinders are on stale bread and the guy taking orders on the phone is a COMPLETE A-HOLE! I will NEVER spend another cent in that place again! read more

I have been a customer for decades. Great pizza, amazing salads and delivery when I'm at work. I always order the large turkey salad. They don't skimp on anything! The rolls that come with it are to die for (trying to cut back on those). Their house dressing is homemade and outstanding as well. I have out of town friends who prioritize a visit there when in town for the pizza. If you haven't tried them, please do. You won't be disappointed! read more
