1 Stars: Decent Food, Poor Service (by woodbone)

woodbone — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

WE have lived in park slope for a year and a half, and have looked at, passed by, and considered Anthony's on 7th ave for a year and a half, and tonight we finally took the plunge.

To be brief, honest, and considerate. The service was S L O W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W. The staff was nice and very considerate of how S L O W they had been.

The food was just average. I have eaten all over the country; this food is average. The arugala salad was awful. No salt, no taste, no acid, no good. I had Margherita Pizza and while much better than the salad, still very average. My friend had the veal, and it was good. Good.

Whoever is running the show, read this. Tighten up the staff. Improve your food! Expand your wine list. We wont be back.

4 Stars: Great Family Restaurant (by joy c.)

We love Anthony's -- portions are a great size for sharing, everything is delicious. The salads are the best! It is an extremely friendly atmosphere.

5 Stars: Great family spot (by Kristin B.)

Kristin B. — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:34:00 GMT

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. What more can I say. They give the kids dough to play with, the food is great (many items are served family style), and we have always had friendly and prompt service.

4 Stars: good reliable thin crust pizza and pasta (by Jennifer J.)

Jennifer J. — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:27:00 GMT

Anthony's is a solid pizza restaurant, with a reliably good thin crust pizza and good basic pasta dishes. Nothing out of the ordinary, but basic dishes, executed well.

3 Stars: good food (by megan o.)

4 Stars: We were just walking by.... (by greenie212)

greenie212 — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:00:00 GMT

When we peaked into Anthony's. The ambiance, laughter and familial atmosphere made us feel welcomed!

Try the lightly breaded chicken cutlets with the fresh basil and tomatoes!

3 Stars: Above Average (by Catherine H.)

Catherine H. — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 13:52:00 GMT

My expectations were met and I felt that the food was above average for NYC pizza. The service was very friendly and quick as well as efficent. Compared to other restaurants in the area, Anthony's is well priced.

5 Stars: Great Pizza, lively environment, great service... (by sajid1975)

sajid1975 — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 09:00:00 GMT

We just returned from Anthony's and I had decided to write a review based on my experience, it was sort of chilly tonight, making for a crowded front waiting area, I was told the wait time would be 15 minutes but I suspected otherwise, as we waited the guest ahead of us were seated, finally after 25 minutes of waiting, we were seated. I had an argument with the waiter on informing me that the wait time was only 15 minutes when in reallity it was much longer, this was important since I had my 3 year old son with me. He appoligized and all was forgiven, he even gave us complimentary eggplant parm, very delicious I might add, we ordered salad, tomato with mozerella, two cokes, and a margarita pizza.

Overall the experience was great, the service was great, the food was great, the time it took to get the meals was great, I would defenitely recommend another visit. The place is a bit small which adds to the charm but plan for an extra wait time as they are pretty busy at times. I tipped 25% to my satisfaction.

3 Stars: Good Food....well, it better be at those prices! (by metalpete)

metalpete — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 09:00:00 GMT

The food is good, but the price tag is significant. I guess it goes along with the wealthy, nose-in-the-air people that live in the area, but it probably wasn't worth it in the end. There are better pizza places to choose from in the area, and you won't have to sell your soul just to have a nice dinner.

5 Stars: I LOVE this place (by abcnewyork)

abcnewyork — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Anthony's is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Slope. I've been going there since it opened. The pizza and salads are delicious and the owners are incredibly sweet (and not too bad on the eyes either). They treat everyone like family. Definitely recommended!

5 Stars: Great Pizza, Service (by kaylaandrewsny)

kaylaandrewsny — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 09:00:00 GMT

My cousin brought me here because she lives down the street. They have fantastic pizza and I tried one of the specials, a saltimbocca that was delicious. We sat outside in the garden. Service was great-- they were so accommodating (and we have a big family with lots of kids). It's also cheap, considering most of the restaurants in the area. I definitely plan on going back.

2 Stars: NOT IMPRESSED (by misc193)

misc193 — Mon, 07 May 2007 09:00:00 GMT

while in brooklyn this weekend, is asked around for a good italian spot to eat at. anthony's came highly recommended. while the pricing is ok but unfortunately the food was bland (mine was semi burnt - i smelled it before they even put the food down in front of me)

overall i would not recommend this place.

5 Stars: Best Pizza in Park Slope!!! (by bkcritic)

bkcritic — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I really don't understand some of the reviews for this restaurant on this site. Complaints about the size and the price of the pies? One word for you "dudes"...Dominoes. I hear they have a "Brooklyn Style" pie and I'm sure the price will be right for you. What you do get at Anthonys is a pizza made from people that know the importance of quality, not just in the ingredients, but in the preparation as well. Plus, the prices are on par with all the "gourmet" pizza places around the city. As for the service, I've been eating here for about a year now and I feel like family when I walk in. As for the "I'm from NY and I know pizza" line that you hear every so often, let me set a few things straight... I'm from New Haven, home of Sally's and Pepe's, and have been eating NY pizza for the past 15 years as well. Grimaldi's and Lombardi's are both completely over-rated, when you hear someone spout off about either of those places, it's a good chance that you're trusting the opinion of a person who gets their thoughts from a Zagats guide. You want the best pie in Manhattan, go to Patsy's, not the rip-offs, the real one on 118th and 1st. You want the best pie in all 5 boro's, go to DiFara's in Midwood, BK. And if you want the best pizza (and great food as well) in Park Slope and the neighborhoods around it, go to Anthony's. You want a big pizza for a cheap price, call Pizza Hut and stop talking like you know anything about pizza.

1 Stars: Anthony's is nothing special - Bad Park Slope Pizza (by bklyndudes)

bklyndudes — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I passed Anthony's place a few times when in south slope so I figured I would give the pizza a try after having read a review on citysearch - My GF and I wanted to get some "good Pizza" and thought we would check it out and see if it compares with some of the other bklyn brick oven gourmet pizza joints...

A small personal pizza costs $17.00 but its not even close to Grimaldi's in size or taste - Grimadi's ain't even the best in NYC but at least serves a decent sized pizza for the high cost. at Anthony's I ordered a pie for us and it was a 12" personal pizza and in no way enough for 2 people - for 17 bucks the pizza has got to be bigger than that fellas, sorry to say it but it ain't even that good and I am from New York city, I am Bklyn not some out of towner (no offense). I had better pizza in friggin' Montauk at a low budget family joint so what does that tell you folks - look elsewhere for good gourmet pizza in the slope.

5 Stars: Delicious Pizza!! (by jassmine_b)

jassmine_b — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 09:00:00 GMT

We moved out here to Brooklyn recently and were prepared to make stop to Grimaldi's for pizza, but haven't yet - Anthony's pizza is delicious!! Great service and good food.

5 Stars: From Naples to Brooklyn (by kayceemo)

kayceemo — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 09:00:00 GMT

This is a fantastic restaurant...the pizza, the service, the pasta...everything.
I'm not sure why some of the other comments complain about the service or portion size. If you are looking for bigger pizza or pasta included with your dish...move back to Missouri and go to this other amazing place called the Olive Garden! You'll feel like family.
Anthony's is by far the best in the Slope!

5 Stars: Good Italian in S. Slope (by jt23)

jt23 — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 09:00:00 GMT

Short and simple... great food, great service, excelent atmosphere. Luckily we went on Sunday and had the chance to experience a home cooked Ragu sauce just like nonna used to make. Owners are in the place, talking to you and making you feel at home. One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had!!!

1 Stars: Extremely Overpriced (by jessehammer)

jessehammer — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 09:00:00 GMT

First time trying Anthony's, I called for delivery. I asked for a large pie. They only have one 12" size. I opted for that. It cost $12 and I ate it in two bites. It was very tastey but for $14 after tip I felt like I got cheated.

2 Stars: small soda (by droth1)

droth1 — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 09:00:00 GMT

Expensive and small portions. Main dishes should include pasta. Taste is just average compared to other restaurants of this type. Service is friendly but not very attentative. Who ever heard of 8 Oz bottle of sodas, especially at 2.50 a pop? Would never go there again.

3 Stars: terrible service (by pia25)

pia25 — Sat, 11 Mar 2006 09:00:00 GMT

i have been to anthony's a few times. one of the owners can be rude, the service is slow, they ignore you, and lie about the wait time. if you don't mind all of that, the pizza is good.

5 Stars: A welcome addition to the neighborhood (by parkslopediner)

parkslopediner — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 09:00:00 GMT

I passed Anthony's one afternoon and added it to my list of restaurants to try. I dined with 3 others on a recent Saturday night and was pleasantly pleased. After a brief wait (enough to finish a round of drinks) we were seated and the ordering began. We started with a couple of salads and were amazed by the portions. We then moved on to what else - pizza. A good selection of fresh toppings are offered and we enjoyed every last bite. Next time we'll pick from the good selection of entrees. Overall service was great. Definitely recommend Anthony's - cozy, friendly atmosphere and excellent food.

4 Stars: Great pizza, great pasta (by marcantel)

marcantel — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 09:00:00 GMT

I've had delivery from Anthony's 4 or 5 times and dined once with my husband and 2 year old. It's a good place for kids. The pizza is always fabulous. Their marinara sauce is so good that I've been trying to rework mine to match theirs. The gnocchi is addictive. The only con for me is when we get delivery, the girl that takes the orders always hears things incorrectly. You either have to repeat yourself ten times and you receive things you didn't order. I've just learned to go over the order 3 times with her.

5 Stars: Best Restaurant in the Neighborhood (by bostonny83)

bostonny83 — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 09:00:00 GMT

I LOVE Anthony's.... I conveniently live down the block, but this place is worth the trip. Some of the best pizza I've had (definitely on par with Grimaldi's and Lombardi's). The other entrees are delicious and the service is wonderful (the same two owners are there almost every night). The decor is a little lacking, but everything else more than makes up for that.

5 Stars: Great addtion to S. Slope (by billysbean)

billysbean — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 09:00:00 GMT

After months of anticipation for their opening, Anthony's came through!!! It was worth the wait. Went their Friday night with a friend. Place was full, but we were seated quickly. Must try eggplant parm. which was sent out to us, compliments of one of the owners, Louie. We orderd the baked clams, which were some the best I've I had in a while. Louie recommened we try the pizza, being it was our first time visting. He was confident we would be back to try the rest of the menu and boy was he right! The pizza was chard to perfection and the fresh mozz. was nice & creamy.

4 Stars: Tasty (by flexichick)

flexichick — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 09:00:00 GMT

Finally made it in to try a pie today. Whole pies only. Went at lunch and had margarita + extra cheese + sun-dried tomatoes. As soon as we sat down, bread and olive oil came. Manager checked on us and was very friendly. Pie + 2 sodas = $20.

5 Stars: One of the best dining experiences ever (by misteroz88)

misteroz88 — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 09:00:00 GMT

We went on a Sunday for the Sunday Ragu (the owner's mother's pasta sauce with meatballs, brocciole, and ribs). We ended up ordering the stuffed mushrooms, which were just right, and the margherita pizza, which is thin crust and perfect in every way. We waited around because we were so pleased and ordered the Ragu when it was ready aorund 4:00. Let me say, this is the closest thing to my grandmother's sauce that I ever had; the sauce and rigatoni were excellent and the meats were so tender. We talked to Joe and one of the owners, Sal, and they couldn't have been nicer. There is such a great family atmosphere here. The desserts are even amazing. We had the chocolate cake and the best homemade cannoli I've ever had. We plan on making this a Sunday tradition, and we will bring family and friends to this wonderful establishment.

4 Stars: Finally a decent pizza on South Slope!! (by grazb)

grazb — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 09:00:00 GMT

I decided to be one of the first people to get a pie and, after the first bite, I knew that this would be one of my favorite spots in the Slope. The service is super-friendly and it really does feel like it's a family run business. If you're on 7th Ave, this is the place to get a pizza!
