Heirloom Potato Pizza
Bella H.

Last one came here for a dinner on a Saturday evening make sure to call in advance for reservation reservations because when we arrived, only one table was available right next to the door, but with asking for assistance, we were able to be relocated to the table next to it. Our servers were quick and patient. The Caesar salad was very tasty and great to share it paired well with the potato pizza. The potato pizza was also very yummy but we wish we could've had more. I would say the portions are a bit small for us to. It would have been nice if there was different options regarding size. Overall, the ambience was a bit loud warm, but the interior design was very warm.

The potato heirloom pizza, burratta, margarita pizza are to always a hit !! Love Pizza Antica -- The burrata is always fresh goes well with warm breads. Their gnocchi is comforting and absolutely delicious. Affogato, Tiramisu and coffee make the perfect ending to the meal. The ambience is great both inside and outside -- perfect in any weather to come with family or friends for formal dining or casual dining.

The pizzas were not bad and cocktails were fine. The prices were also decent. Nothing was mind blowing, but nothing was disappointing either. The prices were reasonable, especially for the area. In fact, the total cost of food for our group was somehow cheaper than one round of drinks, which felt like a small victory. The restaurant had a nice modern decor and seem to be super popular - at least the night we went. It was absolutely packed when we went, which is always a good sign, or at least a sign that other people had the same lack of reservations that we did. We ended up sitting outside because the wait time was shorter, a decision that felt optimistic at first and questionable shortly after. There were heat lamps, but they were more decorative than functional, and the cold definitely made itself known. In general Santana row is super nice (esp coming from someone who lives in SF), and this pizza spot is not a bad place to grab a relatively affordable bite if you want something casual with a slightly elevated ambiance. That said, if we had more options that night or a reservation elsewhere, our group probably would have chosen a different spot.

On a warm Tuesday afternoon, my partner and I had been wandering around valley fair and santana row before realizing we would like pizza. We decided to check out Pizza Antica and it was great. Service was solid, but she seemed a bit busy. Foodwise though everything tasted great. We got the calabrese sausage and the heirloom potato. Both pizzas sat on a beautiful crust with a nice crispy edge and chewy center. The calabrese sausage had a great variety of toppings and was well balanced. The heirloom potato was also delicious and my usual go to at this restaurant. I don't come often, but it is probably the best pizza at the mall.

To start off we got seated inside close to the kitchen. It was extremely loud and very hard to hear each other. The staff was kind enough to move us to outdoor seating. We ordered the Margherita pizza and the pesto gnocchi. The pizza was average, the mozzarella slices were too thin, and the flavor didn't come out right. The gnocchi however was great!! Would definitely recommend trying the gnocchi.

"If Good Friday had a flavor, it would taste exactly like this Margherita pizza." Back in the Bay for Easter weekend, and obviously the first stop had to be Pizza Antica on Santana Row--because some traditions are sacred, and this one tastes way better than chocolate bunnies. Now listen... this is not my first rodeo. I've been coming here since I was a kid with my dad, way back when Alibaba.com went public on the Hong Kong exchange. (Yes, that long ago. Yes, I'm basically a Pizza Antica historian at this point.) And after all these years, one thing remains undefeated: The Margherita pizza. Fresh basil. Bright tomato sauce. Fior di latte mozzarella that melts like it has something to prove. It's simple, classic, and still the Beyoncé of the menu--no backup dancers needed. But don't sleep on the Spaghettini either. Tomato conserva, garlic, basil... and if you're feeling extra (which you should be), add roasted chicken, fennel sausage, or meatballs. It's refreshing, comforting, and honestly the kind of pasta that makes you rethink your life choices in the best way. The vibe? Always vibrant. Always lively. Whether you're grabbing a casual lunch or kicking off a weekend dinner, this place delivers that perfect Santana Row energy--people‑watching included. Friendly staff, consistently great food, and a location that never misses. The quality absolutely justifies the price, and if you haven't been yet... what are you even doing? Pizza Antica is a must. Period. Go. Eat. Thank me later.

Potato and Ricotta Gnocchi
Su T.

Definitely come here if you have a simple palate because nothing here has any extra ordinary flavor besides an assortment of cheese! My friend adores pesto and pasta, so the Potato and Ricotta Gnocchi was what I tried alongside her. It is her absolute favorite! However it fell flat for me but I did enjoy the chewiness and the overall texture. It would've been better had they added mushrooms or a protein in this dish to give it more dimension in my opinion.

Custom pizza with pancetta, olives, and sausage.

Love going to Pizza Antica, esp in the fall and winter when Santana Row decorates. The restaurant has a casual, but still upscale vibe inside. It has a cozy and romantic vibe because they keep the lights somewhat dim. We planned to go and order the arancini which my husband and I love, but we were surprised when the waitress notified they recently changed the menu and it was pulled. Instead I ordered the gnocchi based on her recommendation and it was heavenly... comfort food to the max! My husband ordered the pizza which is always a safe go-to. ;) He also had the elderflower mocktail and he enjoyed that.

I personally really like pizza antica, especially there sausage fennel pizza. I also tried the potato pizza, that ones decent, not my favorite. Only gripe is that the price has gone up every time I've went over the years, but that's inflation for ya.

Potato and Ricotta Gnocchi & Heirloom Potato Pizza
Lauren L.

This is a cute spot right on Santana Row that won't entirely break the bank. The whole menu is about $20-30. Our wait for a table for 2 on a Friday night at 6pm was not bad at all -- about 20 minutes. As for the food, everything was yummy and fresh but THE POTATO RICOTTA GNOCCHI STOLE THE SHOW! So so so good, the gnocchi itself seemed to be cooked in a pesto, then laid on a creamy tomato sauce and topped with balsamic dressed arugula -- the layers of flavor! I remember enjoying the Heirloom Potato pizza more last time as I felt it was lacking in flavor. Overall a cute date night spot with solid food!

Aden G.

Still great pizzas and service. Asparagus pizza was tasty with Lemon zing. Still hate that they tag on 4% SJ fee (mandatory tip). I will probably deduct 4% from my usual tip next time to make it fair. After all we ALL suffer from the high cost of living. Thinking cheap? I think not. It's better than not supporting the local business at all by not eating out.

In the heart of Santana Row, Pizza Antica is a welcome gem. This is the closest thing to Italian food that you'll find on the Row, but let it be known that this is more of a pizza menu than Italian restaurant menu. Doesn't make it any less great! So let's talk food- The arancini are large and packed with flavor. This is a must get. All of the salads are great - and perfect for sharing! Highly recommend the Caesar or the peach and arugula. Now, pizza! They are a class act with their thin crust. Crispy, burnt edges but still chewy... perfect (for those that like their pizza that way). Highly recommend the Margherita pizza and the Fennel Sausage (ask to add red sauce, trust me). Both have tons of flavor and are perfect to share or have on your own. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Will be back for many more evenings on their outdoor patio!

Pizza Antica, in the charming Santana Row shopping center, is a little piece of Italy in the middle of high-end shopping and eats. I was here for a work dinner, so our large team ordered a little bit of everything on the menu. Of the starters, I love the Peach and Wild Arugula Salad. So light and refreshing, and the di Stefano Burrata was so rich and creamy. Try to potato pizza, which has a subtle truffle flavor which paired surprisingly well. The corn pizza was sweet with sliced chilis, truly the perfect sweet and savory combo! The classic Margherita had a unique, almost slightly sweet, tomato sauce which was so delicious. I paired my food with the sangria, which was light and fruity!
