What People Are Saying About Antonio's Flying Pizza
The Owner
Antonio's Flying Pizza
Owner
Welcome to Antonio's. Our food is cooked to order. It takes a little longer and tastes a lot better, so please be patient. Italian cooks have long been masters of the kitchen, creating culinary perfections that tempt the eye and please the palate. They embellish an ordinary meal with such drama and flourish that it becomes a masterpiece. One of the most outstanding characteristics of Italian cooks is their high regard for the food itself. Each tomato, cheese, and cut of meat or portion of seafood is savored for its own merit. Ingredients are often purchased daily to maintain the freshness…

In Short – The trattoria-inspired decor is whimsical and interesting and the atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, making Antonio's a great family spot. It's the kind of place where you shouldn't be surprised if the pizza-makers behind the counter toss a ball of dough to your kids to play with. This little slice of Brooklyn features authentic New York-style pizza, as well as calzones and generous portions of basic red-sauce Italian food.

Poor Food, Attitude and Service
by cadramos at Citysearch
My husband and I have been coming here every year for the past 13 years for our anniversary. I recently went with a group of 6 girls after raving about it for weeks. The portions were smaller, the food was cold and the service was lousy. The worst was when the owner, ANTONIO, spent 10 mins cussing and yelling at a (our) waiter. My 6 yr old was with us. I will never go again. This place was once great...your better off at The Olive Garden!
- Pros: The bread is good
- Cons: The owner yells and cusses at staff, food cold

Gratzi Don Antonio!
Here's to another 38 years!
- Pros: best authentic Italian pizza in Houston
- Cons: ok...so service is less than perfect but who cares

Best pizza
by PetsGalore at Citysearch
I grew up eating pizza at Antonio's. It is awesome. The best in town. The pizza is not cheap but soooo good. I usually get it to go because otherwise you end up with not so great service from a waiter that reminds you of Furio from the Sopranos.
- Pros: Best pizza
- Cons: bad service sometimes, expensive

Welcome to Antonio's.
Our food is cooked to order. It takes a little longer and tastes a lot better, so please be patient.
Italian cooks have long been masters of the kitchen, creating culinary perfections that tempt the eye and please the palate. They embellish an ordinary meal with such drama and flourish that it becomes a masterpiece.
One of the most outstanding characteristics of Italian cooks is their high regard for the food itself. Each tomato, cheese, and cut of meat or portion of seafood is savored for its own merit. Ingredients are often purchased daily to maintain the freshness they demand.
Antonio brought with him to Houston many years of experience in Italian cooking. All the pride and care that is typical of this Mediterranean country is evident in each delightful dish that you will enjoy at Antonio's Ristorante Italiano.
Serving in Houston since 1971.
