Anthony's Pizza

Experience Brain:I wish I took more pictures of the food, but the garlic knots were as far as my Gorgeous and I got before we were overrun with the awesomeness that is their pizza! We ordered a large, half Serious Meat and half Da Brooklyn, because both looked amazing and our server assured us that we would not regret it. She seemed to be either part owner or a close relative of the owner, as she told us how she was constantly tweaking the dough recipe. In fact, her first remark to us after we were seated was that she loves her regulars, but loves getting new people as well. We arrived just before the rush, so we actually had our pick of the booths and some peace and quiet to go over the menu. One of our all-time favorites when we hit up any pizza place is a plate (or basket) of garlic knots. Our preference on this dish is that they are soft and heavy on the garlic and butter. This place does not disappoint! Chunks of real garlic, not some granulated travesty were all over our plate, floating in the pool of olive oil and butter making this a guaranteed return location for us. The calm before the storm was a very nice touch, and I highly recommend that anyone wanting a relaxing meal over a rushed food fest should get there early. I'm talking elderly early. Once the dinner rush started, every table and booth was packed! Huge good sign, right behind the comment about having diehard regulars. I regret not making a note of our server's name, because she was so kind and helpful. If I just looked in her general direction, she would come straight over to check up on us, but left us alone to enjoy our meal without interruption unless she was filling our glasses. Another bonus here is that I asked for her personal opinion, and her answer was to find out our preferences before making a suggestion. That made everything so much better. I hate gambling on food, and so I will ask for suggestions from someone who knows, because they know their product the best. Is the house specialty really what I want? Is the old number one go to my best bet? Should I avoid anything I might normally order because they may do something entirely different to it that I will hate? I'm not asking just to kill time. I want to know. Chef Brain:When the garlic knots came out, they were hot straight from the oven with fresh oil brushed over them, but the garlic that was rough chopped and added to the dish was raw. To those who enjoy only a bit of garlic, this would murder the dish entirely. Those of us who LOVE garlic are thrilled, but garlic develops far more flavor when cooked. My personal favorite is browned garlic, which is similar to fried, because it has all the usual flavor and so much more. Still, the way this place makes their knots is amazing! The only issue I had was with the marinara that came with the knots. I've had some that were sharp, oily, sweet, and even a few that I now know to be made from roasted veggies. This sauce however, just didn't have much flavor to it at all. It wasn't bad, but after the first dip I just skipped it because there wasn't any flavor there. As we finished the plate, the only thing still there was the sauce. When our pizza came out, I was happy to see that they placed the toppings, rather than threw them on the pizza. There are few things as disappointing with ordering a pizza than requesting half one style and half another but getting one or two slices that are both styles because the cook was lazy. We were directed to order a large half Serious Meat (Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Meatballs, Ham and Bacon) and half Da Brooklyn (Think Margherita but with sauce; Tomatoes, Chopped Basil, and fresh Mozzarella). I love a good old fashioned Margherita if it's done right, and my Caramel and I are carnivores so the meat lover's option is always popular with us. As I said, the toppings were placed on their half of the pizza, and there was a definite line between the two styles. The slices were definitely foldable, and I found that was the only way to get it from the plate to my mouth without breaking out the fork and knife. No cheese melts or makes a pizza better than fresh mozz. When you have a string of cheese from your mouth to the plate that requires pinching to break because it will only continue to stretch, you know you've got the good stuff. Both styles are packed with all the flavors that make us all think of the best Italian food, and from the crust up I can honestly say this is one impressive pizza. We wanted to get some desserts, but the garlic knots and pizza were just too much for the two of us, and we will not bring a dessert home unless we've had it the way it was intended to be first.

30.00 pie . Greasy , flat. no substance and very little cheese. Have eaten there several times , but this was extremely disappointing. (Only one topping )

Walked into this place for the first time ever.About to drop $25 ($27-28 with tax) on a 16" "Mediterranean" pie...Me: "Could I substitute the broccoli with Pepperoni?"Guy behind counter: "No we can't do that, because it's too expensive."Me: "Have a nice evening." (I walked out)Is common sense fading away from society, or something? I won't be back there again.Boardwalk Pizza (down the road) is a bit more expensive and super delicious. I think I'm going to head there this weekend. They don't provide ignorant excuses like Anthony's did to me.

Look closely at your receipt. They jack up the prices without telling you and also add 3% if you pay with a card on top of that.

Tried this palace a couple times. Had it delivered and was great pasta and pizza. Last time pizza was uncut and pasta sauce wasn't the best.

It looks promising the people are friendly the atmosphere is nice but the pizza sitting in the case is old the sauce is non-existent the cheese is not tasty and the crust is mediocre I would never eat this again I didn't even finish what they gave me... 3.00 a slice and any frozen pizza on the planet is going to taste better

Anthony's pizza 17-92 and Button Road. Like most in Casselberry we are long time customers over 20 years. Tonight we noticed the prices on menu are different than receipt. We questioned our waitress, the one who wears glasses and is loud speaking. Mind you we always have her as our server. Her response was I don't know, I don't know why the owner does what he does. No explanation, no let me find out nothing other than I don't know. She walked away and we heard her tell her coworker their questioning the prices. She looked over our way and saw my daughter looking right at her. My sister grabbed a menu off a table to look at the prices. The waitress said,again to coworker , now they looking at the menu and they should pay cash then if they don't want to pay the fees. The issue is not the credit card fees, we gladly pay it as always. We were trying to understand why the discrepancy between menu and bill. So maybe someone else can get the answer. Just wanted to say how disheartening. Time to give our hard earned money to another restaurant. And to our waitress. You should be ashamed of yourself. Next time think before you speak. Your voice travels!

Pizza was good but wayyyyy overprice... spent $15 on 2 pepperoni slices and a drink. I have been to over 50 pizzerias throughout the state of Florida from Jacksonville to Miami to Fort Myers and this was not the best but the most expensive. The service was normal and food was quick. Place looked clean and nice restaurant set up.

Ordered a meat lovers calzone, just like the ones I had ordered 30 times before. It had 3 pieces of pepperonni, a little sausage and ham, no meatballs or bacon. When I called to ask why I got a calzone with lots of ricotta and mozzarella and almost no meat. The girl on the phone said that it was all pre portioned then just hung up. Been going there since they opened in 1987 but will not be going back.

Charlie and the staff at Anthony's are kind and give great customer service. We made a mistake on our order and they graciously made new pizza for us - which was going above and beyond! And the pizza crust and sauce were great. A big thank you to everyone at Anthony's (in Casselberry next to Publix) on 17-92!
