I absolutely loved my personal make it yourself thin crust pizza from Pizza Antica! Ordering for delivery, I removed the cheese and added in chicken and bacon and I must say it was so delicious and light - probably one of the better pizzas I've had recently. I would absolutely order from them again, especially since you can also add in a side of green olives, which the honey loves. All in all, I loved my pizza, thanks again Pizza Antica! read more

The food and service here were phenomenal. The servers/host/manager was warm and I felt like the space was classy without being stuffy or pretentious. We ordered a few things including their in house lemonade, a salad, pasta, and a pizza, as well as dessert. Everything was excellent and tasted fresh. The pizza had a very good thin crust that was light, chewy, and a perfect complement to the toppings. The only thing that could have been better was the olive oil chocolate cake. I typically expect those types of desserts to be a bit decadent, but it was more on the drier, cakier side, which isn't my preference. It was mostly street parking, but we found metered parking fairly quickly when we went early in the dinner time. read more

Celebrated Dad's birthday here-- at his request he wanted a beer, fries & a pizza! But we were also able to feed gluten free diet, all the vegetarians! We started with the cacio e pepe fries-- unique. But the salads were a real highlight-- our waitress recommended the warm Brussel sprouts salad (we ordered it without bacon. It has boiled eggs in it and its cozy and delicious), & the arugula apple salad (a nice contrast balance of flavors). Next we ordered a bowl of butternut squash soup-- toasty on winter day & flavorful. The gnocchi with pesto and sundried creamy tomato sauce was so yummy-- I'd lick the bowl! The mushroom pizza and Margherita pizzas were solid. The decor is cool & inviting. Staff were friendly & helpful. There's street parking, as well as a lot in the back. read more

Started off with the Caesar salad and calamari. Both were good. Perhaps not the best calamari, but good. We had the option to have the salad as a wedge or chopped. We went with chopped. For the price, it should have been bigger. The margherita pizza was yummy. All in all a good meal. read more

Service was great. Food arrived fast. It was pretty loud and busy when i ate here. Bathroom was very clean and didn't smell shitty like most. Food was pretty good. Gnocchi and pesto is always a nice thing. Pizza dough was light and crispy, not heavy. The cocktails could be better. I didn't enjoy the old fashioned, and the tropical storm wasn't great. Overall, food was good enough to outweigh the drinks. Next time I'll order a beer. read more

Cozy Italian spot. The lighting is soft and relaxing. A calm yet vibrant place to enjoy some great food. The service is excellent. From the welcoming smile from the hostess to our server Christina. Very nice and make great recommendations. Started with the meatballs. Then enjoyed apple arugula salad. Both were very good. Enjoyed a calabrese sausage pizza added some pepperoni and it was amazing. The dough is so good and not heavy at all like most pizza places. Great flavors perfect size to share with someone. Washed it down with a blackberry thyme lemonade which was really tasty. Refreshing. Finished off dinner with some dessert I didn't. need. Lol. But who could resist an affogato and a chocolate olive oil cake. Loved it. So good. Stop by and enjoy a great meal in a great environment. They have inside and outside seating if you choose. read more

I've never been to this location before but the pizza is just as good! I went with the margarita this time but one of their best is the potato pizza! Their crust is really delicious and the ingredients are super fresh. Our waiter was super friendly and constantly checking on us. I love the inside as well, it is super cozy and welcoming and they have a little bit of outdoor seating as well. Definitely would come back again! read more

Heirloom Potato -- delicious, the potatoes are thick and have a nice softness when you bite into the pizza. I hardly tasted the truffle oil flavor. Fennel Sausage -- a standard sausage pizza. Cacio E Pepe Fries -- nice, cheesy and peppery flavored fries. The seasoning was perfect, it coated all of the fries. read more

The most perrrrfect place to have a catch up dinner with your friends. The outdoor seating with the heater turned on is so peaceful and amazing. Service was quick and friendly. We all shared a Margarita Pizza and Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato salad. Salad was as expected and the pizza was sooo delicious. I had been craving a thin crust and the tomato sauce was perfect. Our friend ordered the Spaghetti with meatballs, he didn't like the texture and thought the sauce was passion-less. But pizza was great! read more

We haven't been out to Lafayette in quite a while, but we finally got a chance to visit a friend who moved here. After our visit, we headed out for dinner at Pizza Antica in their downtown area on Mt Diablo Blvd. There's a metered parking lot behind the restaurant. Since our friend had her fur baby, we asked for a table in their patio area. Since it was a cool evening, the hostess turned on the overhead heater. We checked out menu and decided to share a salad and a couple of pizzas. Our waiter Justin welcomed us and answered our menu questions as we placed our order. Apple and Wild Arugula Salad - The arugula and apple slices was dressed with a lemon vinaigrette and topped with parmesan. Tasty salad but felt the portion was on the small side for the price. Fennel Sausage - the thin crust pizza had slices of Portobello mushrooms and purple onion with minced fennel sausage. Good tasting pizza with a soft chewy crust, but wished with sausage was not minced. Heirloom Potato - covered with slices of golden potato with some caramelized onions and drizzle of white truffle oil. This potato pizza was unique and was delicious. My favorite of the two pizzas. Justin checked on us a couple of times and brought us another water carafe. Very good friendly service. A nice restaurant in downtown for good thin crust pizza. read more

I had a lovely dinner at Pizza Antica. There was barely a 5 minute wait time for a weeknight dinner for walk-in. What stood out the most was how fresh the ingredients were. The servers were extremely pleasant to talk to and gave great suggestions. They even have outdoor seating with heaters. For appetizers I enjoyed their house-made focaccia and di Stefano burrata. The focaccia was perfectly warm, soft and had a hint of rosemary. The burrata was delicious as well. For main course I went with their fennel sausage pizza which I devoured to the last bit and their potato ricotta gnocchi which was perfectly cooked as well. I would definitely visit them again and would like to try their popular heirloom potato pizza. read more

I came here on a Friday night with my fiancé and parking was a huge struggle. We finally found a spot a few blocks away after doing a few circles and were able to snag a table before more parties came. Compared to the Santana Row location, I liked the layout and interior more. There was a lot more open space and lighting coming in, plus I liked the exposed brick on the walls. I appreciated how bubbly and attentive our server was. We ordered the fennel sausage pizza and made our own with pepperoni and mushroom. Both of the pizzas were good, but not as great compared to the Santana Row location. There was just something missing. We had a few slices leftover and they didn't taste as good the next day. I'm glad we checked out this location but we'd rather make the trek to the Santana Row location if we're craving it. read more

Service - 5/5 (s/o to Ansel!) Ambiance - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Wow I think I found my new favorite pizzeria. I've dined in person and have ordered on DoorDash--was impressed both times. Pancetta pizza - salty and delicious. I'll order this every time. Margherita - perfectly traditional Brussel Sprouts - Best I've EVER had. I'm not usually into Brussels but ordered for my mother in law. Ended up loving them and so glad I tried them. Field Greens - refreshing and light. Arancini - You won't regret it. Yes. Wine - Had the barbera and it paired so nicely with the saltiness of the pizza. read more

Came here for a post hike lunch. Food was amazing. Tried the soup, spaghetti, pizza, focaccia, and their pistachio cake. It wasn't busy so service was great too. They even brought a water bowl for our doggie! The inside was very nice, has an open kitchen. The outside was great too, they had heating for us :) Lastly, the price was really good for what we received in terms of service, taste of food, amount of food, and vibes. Would definitely come back! read more

I have loved this restaurant since it first opened in Lafayette 20 years ago. We recently moved back and it's just as good as I remember. The food is delicious, the drinks are tasty, and the service is great. My 5 year old has severe food allergies and I was particularly appreciative of how thoroughly they checked with the kitchen about what was safe for her to eat. They also got her order in and on the table very quickly. We love the pizzas and the salads with the piadinas. Can't wait to go back! read more

I wasn't expecting much from this restaurant but I was pleasantly surprised. You MUST try the ricotta gnocchi - it was AMAZING.

Perfect for a family dinner. read more

The food was pretty good. The service was nice and the ambiance was pretty good and spacious and I enjoyed my time here.

I am a huge fan of Pizza Antica. Their margarita pizza is one of the best. If they have the warm brussel sprout salad, I recommend getting it. Wow. So delicious. Otherwise, I always get the Caesar salad. All of the pizzas are delicious and my go to is a simple margarita pizza. My husband loves the calzone. During the summer, if they have the strawberry shortcake, don't miss it. Very good but not overly sweet. The staff is always great as well. They automatically add the tip to the check, which is fine with me. read more

3.5 stars. My friend and I have been talking about trying Pizza Antica for awhile, and today we finally got our chance, after walking the Lafayette Reservoir. We chose the Kale Pesto pizza with butternut squash - $22. I really liked the flavors but definitely wish it would have been heavier on the cheese and toppings. The size was perfect for two people to share. We also ordered the olives, which were very good and tasted like they had been marinated in something citrusy, which was surprisingly delicious. The service was fine. The 20% automatic gratuity is irritating. If you need to raise your prices, raise your prices, but amount of gratuity should be left up to the customer. I read in the other reviews that they charge the same automatic gratuity even for pickup, which is frankly unacceptable. In short, the food is good, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to return. read more

We had such a good experience there. Three families with kids went, and everything was great. The ambience was lovely, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I loved the burrata dish (I substituted beets for tomatoes). The arancini was better than what we had in Sicily. We also loved the mushroom pizza and the fennel and sausage pizza (with added red sauce).Our server was awesome; personable, accommodating, and so nice. I wish I remembered his name; he was the gentleman with glasses. With how lacking service has been lately everywhere we go, this was such a refreshing change. Overall, a great experience, and we will definitely be back! read more

I've only been here twice, but it's been a pleasant visit each time! We went there over the weekend and were seated very quickly. Since they were busy, we sat for a while (whilst unfortunately flanked by two tables with screaming children/toddlers, which isn't their/the restaurant's fault, but still). It took quite some time for someone to come by to take our order (my SO ended up eventually flagging someone down), but they were super gracious/apologetic about it and the food came quickly. The first time we came here, I tried the heirloom potato pizza (with caramelized onions + white truffle oil). I considered getting it again but was super curious about the sweet corn + peach pizza others have mentioned. Sadly, I didn't see it on the menu + forgot to ask about it, so I got the kale pesto pizza (with butternut squash + goat cheese) instead. The flavor combination was absolutely delicious (as was the potato pizza last time). The only thing I was a little less enthused about was that it is on the more oily side, but overall, super super tasty! They gave us a free dessert (Spruce's giant chocolate chip cookie) as an apology for the wait, which was a super sweet (heh) gesture. P.S. They remind you a few times that there is an included 20% tip. I typically try to tip 18-20% anyway unless the service is atrocious, but it's definitely good that they let people know this up front! read more

We also got 3 pizzas, my favorite was the fennel sausage and mushroom. read more

We absolutely LOVE Pizza Antica and were shocked when the Danville location closed. Thank the Foodie Higher Powers for keeping the Lafayette location open! We have been dining at this location for many, many years and have never been disappointed. The service is always outstanding, the cocktails refreshing, and the food DELIZIOSA! My go-to dish is the Heirloom Potato Pizza, and I almost ALWAYS order this except when they feature a specialty dish. During our last visit, I ordered their specialty, although I can't remember what it was called. It had everything I love to eat, which is pasta, shrimp, and a white wine butter sauce.... YUM! The server had described the pasta to be "flat, but not as thin as fettuccine," so I expected something similar to pappardelle. The pasta was definitely not what I expected, as they were almost like lasagna noodles. Not my fave, but it was still delightful, and I ate it up. Reservations are highly recommended, you can find parking behind the restaurant in addition to street parking, and if you're not in the mood for pizza - we highly suggest you try their Fried Chicken dish. read more

After management reached out to us after our initial review, the response was just as disappointing as the experience. There was no real accountability, just excuses, deflection, and a tone that made it clear they were more bothered by the complaint than the harm caused. My mother and her boyfriend won't ever return, and I will not recommend this place to any person especially not when discrimination is met with this kind of dismissal. read more

Nice pizza and pasta spot. The staff was attentive and made an effort to cater to families (coloring and lollipops). The tomato flavor was bright on the margherita pizza. Only complaint was the crust could've been toastier. Arancini was very cheesy and had the surprise benefit of tomato flavor. Favorite was the trofie al pesto genovese with fresh pesto and plenty of pine nuts. This is one of our go to pizza spots and we'll definitely be back. read more

Atmosphere is good with both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is quick and good. Food is not that great as you may expect because of the vibe, setting and prices. Cesar salad was literally two pieces of lettuce with dressing; pizza was saggy and very thin. And for all, expect a mandatory included 20% service charge to your bill. As a pizza place, it's overrated and pricy. For sure you can have much better pizza somewhere else. read more

This is a great location and is so much better than the Santana Row location... restaurant-look wise. This place is spacious with lots of seating and natural light coming through the windows. I like this a lot because it isn't too dark like the SRow location. We ordered our usual which is a Caesar salad with a side of Piadini, Heirloom potato pizza with fennel sausage, and a side of anchovies. The food tasted the same; consistent flavor and taste, etc. The food tasted perfect. My only problem is that our order took too long for some reason? There were only like 7-8 tables open during the early noon and our order still took too long. Our water was barely refilled as well which was not good. Regardless of this issue, I'd still like to come back again. They have a friendly staff with a nice ambiance here. I'll be back! read more
