Give me a better combo than Pizza and Salad, Ill Wait... We had a great dinner at Pizza Antica in Lafayette! Walked in during the hype of the Lafayette wine and art fair (surprisingly packed btw) and after hours of walking around, I wanted a seat and a great meal. Opted for the Spicy Pizza and arugula salad. Both were incredible. Something about Pizza and salad grabs my soul. Customer service was totally great! The crew was super nice and friendly. 10/10 all around. read more

Pizza Antica has become one of our Lafayette go-tos over the past couple of years. When hanging out in Lafayette, we've popped in here a number of times for a light dinner and drinks before heading home. The service is great, and although Hansel is unfortunately no longer there - we know where to find you, Hansel ;) - Jules is an absolute sweetheart, and we really enjoyed chatting with her during our most recent visit after last week's annual Lafayette Art & Wine Festival. Their pizzas are yummy, though I do wish they were more topping-heavy. I like that the menu is not particularly meat-oriented, and they have vegetarian options. Last time we had the pear pizza, and I the flavors were very good. I would really love to see a vegan pizza option as well, with vegan cheese! We're not usually big dessert people, but last time we had the blackberry cobbler, and it was perfectly satisfying. We take our time, and service is always friendly and unrushed. read more

First off, the staff there is always so welcoming and nice. I got to go this time and the bartender was so great! The food was amazing. We got two pizzas, gnocchi and focaccia bread. All were so good. We got a traditional pepperoni and it was very good, then we took a chance on a seasonal pizza that had corn and other toppings and it was really good. The pizzas are always made perfectly with a nice chewy crust. The gnocchi were tasty pillows but the sauce was to die for. The focaccia was the ninja of the order...a silent assassin. So dang good! We will be back again soon! read more

My partner and I have been coming here for years. Usually sit at the bar and usually have Hansel as our bartender.... Until today since we learned he left a week ago to work somewhere in the city and we know where it is and we will show up there. You can run but you can not hide. Anyways , nice place and good pizza. This evening we had a pear pizza. Yes this is not a typo. There was sliced pear on our pizza. It was good even though there was no meat on it. We order marinated olives almost all the time along with drinks and pizza. I personally like they have Partida tequila, except today no Partida :(. Staff is always great and ambiance is chill. We typically take our time when out and about and appreciate we are accommodated with our "stay for as long as we want behavior". This evening we also had the blackberry cobbler which was perfect. Topped with vanilla bean gelato with a lime zest. The perfect end to a great day with my perfect partner. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The pasta is good but I felt a little salty, the pizza is good, really artesanal made. Always order on line.

I was concerned about my mom's gluten allergy. I called before I came. They serve gluten free options for those that cannot eat wheat. I had a good time here with my family. All the food we had ordered was really good. Thank you for having options for my mom. 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

Was seated outside by the heaters on a Friday night, then was asked to move so a larger group could sit together. The hostess/manager lady said and I'll take care of whatever you're getting. It's not that it was just an inconvenience but now we were away from the heaters and cold. Bill came and they comped us my husbands beer and my cup of crappy soup. lol Never again. 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

The ambience is classy. We got seated right away when we came here for lunch on a Friday. Parking meter available in front of the restaurant. We ordered the mushroom room pizza - delicious! Love the thin crust. The field of green salad perfect and light dressing. The lemon sorbet was refreshing. 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

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

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

What an absolute decline in quality. Before Covid you were able to order a beautiful thin crust pizza that would arrive with a delicate layer of cheese paired with a tasty red sauce layered on a crispy thin crust. Now you get a tiny thick half cooked soft doughy pizza that might feed one. The gratuity fee is just the cherry on the top, it made sense during Covid but now it just seems like a safety deposit for serving a family a lousy pizza. read more

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

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 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

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

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
