Decent place to grab a large pizza for the family and kids. Service was friendly but expect to wait a bit for your food during peak hours. Place seemed nice instead and had an old school Italian pizza vibe. Would have gotten a higher review but it did come a bit more greasy than your usual pizza spot. read more

Dinner wasn't quite satisfying and this was right across the street from the hotel. I saw a sign for pizza by the slice and thought it would be the perfect nightcap. It's a popular local and tourist hangout, it was always crowded whenever we walked by. Very casual, a lot of people rolled up in their wet beach clothes to grab a slice. They have a minimum $10 for credit cards so I ended up with 2 huge slices when 1 would have been perfect. Pizza itself is not quite at franchise level and is closer to indie pizza you find at bowling alleys and arcades. For some reason it had a sweeter taste than normal as well. Review is based on 2 slices of pepperoni that are very big for $5, it's easily the size of two normal sliced. I would say the most unappetizing thing was the top and bottom were oily. I used napkins to soak up the oil and it magically came back. read more

I get that you are located on an island and the choices are limited - but this was really not great. Unfortunately you start off on a bad foot ordering from the window. Just an angry and yelling employee greeting everyone who walks up with a scowl. Lots of rules and signs posted near the window should have keyed us in to the vibe. Pizza itself is very mediocre and way overpriced for the 7-11 hot case quality you will get. read more

Best sandwich I've been had!! Italian club it was super tasty the bread was soft and fresh the meats were awesome. Spaghetti with meat balls were so so the meat balls were good. The garlic bread they give was really really good!!! Pizza was great we just got pepperoni and jalepeno but it was very good and they have root beer on tap which was great as well! Staff was nice and place is old school which was fun, definitely will be returning read more

The food is decent, it's a typical average italian dinner. For the type of food it's a little pricey for the pasta and pizza. I had to wait for about 10-15 minutes at the to-go window to order. Pasta and whole pizzas take longer but pizza slices come out faster. You can dine in but it's really small and cramped...outside seating has a few tables with limited seating. After ordering I got my food about 15-20 minutes later. read more

All about the pizza. None compares on mainland. Service only slow when a cruise ship in town. Love the old pictures. Fun to see how many you can name. Being old helps. Red check table cloths add to the atmosphere. read more

Remarkably unkind staff, maybe having a bad day. The staff were very passive aggressive upon first arrival, after we had said little more than "hello". read more

I like that they have outdoor seating bc the inside can get cramped! Definitely stick to the pizzas! The famous grandma's pasta is just ok. Pizzas are good... very cheesy. We got a pepperoni and one where we made our own. Good crust! They also have some fun beers! Reminder this is the smaller Antonio's. Stay Cheerful read more

The wings are NOT jumbo. They are not even regular size, they are tiny!!!! Super false advertising, looked like wings from a bag. The word JUMBO in all caps justified the $17 price wings but when we opened the box and saw our stack of sticks they called wings we were very disappointed. read more

I visited this pizza place on 6/20/25 around 2:30 pm, was with my family ordered a Pizza, Salad, 2 beers, 2 sodas, 1 water the total price was $76.02, I paid with 2 $50.00 bills the cashier handed me back only $23.00 with no change and no receipt, I asked the cashier for the total amount, she replied $76.02, I told her she only handed me back $23.00 then she didn't apologize or returned the change back just ignored me. I want to clarify is not for the change due, but for the principal, just imagine how many people they have done the same thing. This is not correct, the food was not even as the picture at the entrance of the restaurant, I did not get a good experience at all. Better Business Bureau should look into this issue. this is not the way to ask for a tip. read more

We stopped in on a Tuesday at 3pm. We ordered bbq chicken pizza and were told they were out of chicken. We then ordered a meatball sub. I ordered minestrone soup and the server said there was one bowl left and she had served it for herself, but I could have it. She said she hadn't touched it. I had the soup and it was fresh and delicious. The meatball sub was good too. They give you a cup Of peanuts and you throw shells on the ground. For the Second cup, they charge you. They have root beer on tap. There are many decorations to look at. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

This is getting a 1-star only because 0 isn't an option. Quite literally the WORST service I have ever experienced. Both workers were very rude, and did not have any respect towards their customers. The dining area was small, so they had a wait list as it was busy, but then proceeded to let 10-15 people NOT on the list sit down..... the food was good, but I won't be coming back. read more

We were on the island for an overnight family stay. My kids really wanted pizza for dinner and this was conveniently across from our hotel; The Atwater. The Pizzeria is warm and cozy inside... more of a cafe feel than restaurant. They serve bottled beer/wines and canned alcohol. Some fountain drinks... The food was as expected for a pizzeria. Pricing was fair. The pizza take out window was extremely busy our entire visit. Overall a great dinner experience. My son (who is 8yrs old) was laughing and red in the face after returning to the table after visiting the bathroom to the "RIGHT" - - you will understand when/if you visit this business :) the photos on the wall are one to shock your children haha! read more

This place had a long line when we walked up, they quickly got through all the customers and got us our pizza with garlic bread. We really enjoyed the sourdough bread and pepperoni pizza. Would recommend. read more

My family liked the pizza, and the wings remind me of the Tyson wings you'd get at the grocery store.. wet and soft.. I like my wings like that Please don't shame me read more

Pizza was a bit bland with thick dough - almost like fresh frozen pizza. I'll try another spot next time.

All the talk about racist people working here is ridiculous. As a white gay socialist I felt perfectly comfortable sipping my Shirley Temple and nibbling on semi stale saltines. read more

It's pizza. I don't know what more to say. If you like pizza you'll like it. If you need something more then this might not be for you. The price is decent, but probably good for the island. read more

Excellent service. Olga was welcoming and amazing. Great pizza! We we will definitely return

Not sure what's with the bad reviews. I ate here over a few days. Got a pizza to go and ate a slice a few times. The crust is that perfectly cooked, the cheese is gooey and perfect. I would get pizza and save it for later. It's definitely worth a late night munch or a quick slice if you need a fix. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Today I visited Antonio's Pizza, hoping for a quick and tasty meal. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. When I tried to place an order at the to-go window, I was informed that they couldn't take my order because they were backed up on online orders. This was frustrating, as I was ready to pay and take my food to-go. To make matters worse, two employees had a noticeable attitude when addressing the situation, which only added to the disappointment. Given the lack of customer service and inability to accommodate in-person orders, I decided to take my business elsewhere. Antonio's Pizza missed out on our patronage, and I won't be returning anytime soon. PS, when I said that I would take my money somewhere else the guy said that's fine. read more

The food was horrible. I can get a frozen pizza and it will taste better than this pizza . It's all cheese with a few topping on it and a dry crust . The pasta taste dry as well . I waste of 45 dollars . read more

OK, I hate doing this, but this place was not very good. Pizza Hut serves better pizza to give you an idea. The help was good and friendly. The restaurant itself is very small and has a old time feel to it. If we go back to Avalon, we will not be returning unless very intoxicated. read more

We had a the best experience at Antonio's! Olga was very friendly at the front of the restaurant. Our waiter Paul was excellent, gave us great recommendations, and went made our time our time at the restaurant very fun. We had the Mom's day old spaghetti and Antonio's cheese crisp (large of course!). Both were very delicious and the cheese crisp was also great as leftovers. The ambiance is very charming and adds to the full restaurant experience. Can't wait to visit Catalina Island again and come back! read more

The food is delicious! I loved the pizza! The "family" salad is a bit small but it was very yummy. The wings weren't spicy but had good flavor. Small place, loved the decorations and the service was great! read more

It was pretty late after a busy day kayaking and swimming so me and my friends were all super hungry. We showed up and had to order through the side window even though the dining room was open for the last guests as they were closing somewhat soon. I ended up ordering just a personal pizza, and my friends got a pepperoni pizza, a deli sandwich, and a shrimp scampi. The scampi was okay, the pasta was cooked fine but the sauce was a little runny. The sandwich was quite good, the meats were cooked well and the toppings added a nice flavor boost. Lastly, the pizza was pretty solid. I got a chicken and garlic pizza, and they loaded it up with the toppings. Most of it was kind of centered on the pizza and I wish it had been spread out a little more evenly but it was still good. The pizza crust was super crispy and crunchy and I was finishing every last bite of every slice. The seating was a little limited as we only had outdoors to work with, but it was still nice. The service was also slow, but that may be because they had a huge line for being super popular at night. Overall, it was a great family owned joint and it's worth a try if you're craving pizza. read more

Best pizza I've ever had. Melissa was fabulous. I would definitely recommend. When we come back to the Island we will eat here again.

Our favorite place to order pizzas, soups and wings to go. They offer gluten free options too! They only have small and large pies and the small size is more than enough for one person. The foods come out fast enough, have a draft root beer while you wait. They are so refreshing and tasty! read more

I understand the price can be high because of the location. For a $5 slice was a bit much. The cheese wasn't cheesy it was cold not even warm. I may get hate for this but for this being open since 1977 I honestly would expect a cheesier and a bit of a softer crust with a bit more pizza sauce and a bit dry. For a quick pizza bite and quick service I do recommend this place. Service was great and fast. read more

Was a little skeptical eating here with all negative reviews. But our experience was a lot better than a lot of the bad reviews. Service was stupendous! Pizza was amazingly great! I guess when you hit a touristy town, we all take chances. You never know what employees are dealing with personally and have a hard time leaving it at home. But apparently today, everyone was having a great day! Thanks to the kitchen staff for great pizza. Thanks to the front for the great service! read more

Ordered thru the window, to-go, across the street from our hotel & highly recommended by locals. Covid precautions in place since this is LA County still, 11.29.2020 everything became to-go or delivery only. Ordered two Filet Street Tacos & half sausage & black olive, & half sausage & Canadian Bacon. Both delish! We took it to our room & had dinner in bed lol. Covid has us doing everything differently.
