My husband and I went to Antonio's Pizza in Longmont around noon on a Tuesday, so it wasn't a…read moreparticularly busy dinner rush. My husband ordered an appetizer as his meal, and I ordered a personal calzone.
His food came out, and I expected mine to follow shortly afterward. Instead, I waited approximately 30 minutes after his meal was served before receiving my calzone. During that time, people who had ordered after us were receiving their food at about the same time I was finally served.
I understand that different menu items can have different cooking times, but I'm having a hard time understanding why a personal calzone took that long, especially when my husband had already finished his meal. The biggest issue for me wasn't even the wait itself--it was that my husband and I were unable to actually eat our meals together.
When the calzone finally arrived, the crust was extremely thick and wide compared with the portion of the calzone that actually contained the toppings. I'm sure the food itself may have been tasty, but the preparation and timing made the experience disappointing.
I'm leaving this review because I think it's reasonable for two people who order together to expect their meals to be served within a reasonable amount of time of each other. If there was a problem with my order or something went wrong in the kitchen, I would genuinely like to understand what happened. I'm not looking for an argument or a defensive response--just an explanation of why my meal took roughly 30 minutes longer than my husband's and why we weren't able to enjoy our meal together.
That being said, I would actually like to come back and try Antonio's again. I'm not writing this review because I never want to return or because I think the restaurant is terrible. I'd like the opportunity to have a better experience and actually get to enjoy the food. Hopefully, next time the service and timing will be better.
