| - After taking in a movie at Settler's Ridge on my day off, my 8 year old daughter piped up, "Let's try Anthony's for dinner!" Actually, we've been meaning to try out their coal fired pizza for a while and usually we go to the area for Thai Foon. In the mood for something different, we made the very short walk from Cinemark to Anthony's.
The 4 stars in my rating is for the food only. Everything else might be at a 2 or 3.
The pizza was just great! We split a large specialty pizza - one half was broccoli rabe and sausage and the other half was meatball and ricotta. The crust was thin and just lightly burnt from the purported coal fire and the toppings were plentiful and delicious. I would say that the topping choices on the specialty pizza offerings are very well thought out and gave us plenty of reason to return to branch out a little and try a couple of other combinations. So, there ends the 4 star portion.
On to the rest:
- The seating area is very small. This place is deceptively large - when you get in, there is a tiny bar area and only about seating for 50 or so. We had a 20 minute wait and thankfully the food was worth it.
- Service was pretty off. For a Monday night, they were so clearly understaffed. So, long waits for simple requests like more water, extra napkins, silverware for our party of 4, and our check.
- The restaurant itself is hot. I mean, how could it not be when "coal fired pizza" is in the name? But, better ventilation would make the dine in experience go a lot smoother.
