| - OH MY GOD! FINALLY, after 18 years of searching (since I moved here), and mostly dissapointment along the way, I have quite possibly found the BEST FRIGGIN' PIZZA in the Cleveland metro area! Antonio's SICILIAN SQUARE STYLE PIZZA! Absolutely WORLD CLASS! This self-avowed 'pizza snob', having sampled some of the best pizza's in the NYC and NJ area, is AGOG for this fantastic tasting pizza! The tasty crust is perfect- thick, airy, and crispy in all the right places. The stringy cheese and aromatic sauce tastes fresh and perfectly balanced. This, my friends is pizza DONE RIGHT! It's hard to believe that this is delivery pizza! Clearly, the LoSchiavo family knows how to make a PROPER pizza! The pizza box has the following quote on it: "Delivering Old World Quality." INDEED!
UPDATE: Damn. I don't get it. I enthusiastically ordered this pizza again, and this time it did not taste nearly as great. But it was still good. My guess is that the cheese and crust were more well done (browned) the first time around, whereas this time it may have been undercooked, with a much softer crust. My 5 star rating remains though, because I know what Antonio's is capable of. Incidentally, they screwed up my order by giving me 2 pepperoni squares, when I ordered 1 pepperoni, 1 plain (large Sicilian pie).
LATEST UPDATE: OK! I ordered their Sicilian square style pizza once again, remembering how great it was the first time, and BINGO- it was fantastic! It tasted just as superb as the first time I discovered Antonio's, and initially ordered their Sicilian pizza, upon which my original review was done! To the LoSchiavos: clearly, the final great taste of this Sicilian style pizza depends on COOKING IT properly, until the crust and cheese browns up a bit! As long as you do not undercook this pizza, it's a masterpiece! DO NOT change the ingredients one iota! This is one of the 3 best pizzas i've had in NE Ohio in my 18 years living here, hands down! The other 2 being Carabba's stone oven baked pizza, and Fragapane's Deli Sicilian style squares!
