Experience Through Their Eyes

I love this place, they have the best chicken wing pizza! Even my picky 5 year old loves it. We used to live right down the street and got pizza from there all the time. Now we live in Stroudsburg and my fiance will bring it home every so often.

Loved this spot! I drive by all the time, and the other day I decided to stop in when I was craving a slice of pizza. Make that 2. I ordered 2 plain slices the size of a paper plate and some cheese fries. You know its good pizza when the pizza is bigger than your plate. Yum! Antonio's reminds me of all the pizza shops I visited in NJ when I was a kid so I'm excited to find that nostalgia right here in Luzerne County.

I was born and raised in NEPA and had my fair choice of pizza places when I was young. Over the years, some have gone by the wayside and others persevere. Lucky for me, Antonio's Pizza in Wilkes-Barre is one of the ones that's made it through both good and not-so-good times. You know how some places specialize in either pizza, stromboli, calzone or subs? Not Antonio's. They excel at all of those. Their pizza, while a bit thicker than some others, is well balanced by the sauce and cheese. To me, the sauce has a unique flavor from other pizza offerings. It's slightly sweeter than normal but not disgustingly so. I find it to be perfect. Strombolis and calzones are another great choice. I've attached a picture of a large cheese steak stromboli just to give you an idea of its size. The steak they use is well diced up, and there's no gristle in it, which is something I need. The use the same steak in their cheese steak subs. And that was a good segue into their subs. I've had the cheese steak, chicken cheese steak and tuna subs and every one of them was great. Crisped buns, well apportioned and excellent taste. They have a small dining area, which could be used fully in different times, but right now they're offering limited seating. They have the usual sodas (tap or canned/bottled) and beer offerings. Everything is available for eat in or take out. Their restaurant is very easy to find. It's near the intersection of Courtright Ave and close to General (Commonwealth) Hospital. I recommend giving them a try. I can't say that you'll have the same impressions, but I can say very few people I've met disagree with me. Give them a try.

Very few places maintain the same level of quality that they started out with. The pizza as well as the cheesesteak stood out to me. This was my first trip back in a number of years and it won't be my last. They haven't skipped a beat.
