Antonio's Pizza by the Slice

  • July 3, 2006
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Emms137 from San Luis Obispo, California
Antonio's serves up amazing pizza by the slice at great prices (most slices are under $3, and they are huge). There are at least 20 varieties of pizza to try, including: white pizza; tomato; various chicken pizzas; tomato basil and fresh mozzarella; Sicilian; and much more. Old classics and funky new flavor combinations fill the menu, and everything I've tried has been delicious. The atmosphere is very casual (you order at the counter, then grab a table), and the place attracts a lot of college students due to its low prices and fun atmosphere. The employees are always smiling and ready to help you out in any way possible.

Antonio's Pizza by the Slice

Antonio's Pizza is a Northeast transplant. There are three Antonio's Pizza locations in the world: two in Boston and one in College Station, TX. Why College Station? I have no idea, but I'm happy they are there.

Located on a side street off the "main drag" in CS, the storefront is not much to look at, and the inside decor consists of nothing fancy. They do have the requisite Texas A&M garb and a mural adorning the walls, and a place for college kids to write their names.

So, the food. At the counter, you can see all the pizzas they have sitting out. There's also a menu on the wall so you can see the names of all the pizzas, including the specialty pizza of the day (chicken cordon bleu pizza is a recurring one). All the pizza is NY-style (i.e. thin crust), and it's SO GOOD. Once you decide what kind you want, you point it out to the friendly server, and he throws it on two paper plates (each slice is too big for a single plate), and throws it in the oven to heat it up. Our favorite pizzas are the Hawaiian (I always get a slice of it when I go), beef taco, potato bacon, the Bomb, and Tomato Pesto. The only "bad" slice I ever had involved artichokes, portabella mushrooms, and red peppers - it was the specialty pizza of the day. I just didn't like the taste of it, but I did eat the entire piece because bad pizza from Antonio's is still GOOD!

Each slice costs $2-3 or an entire pizza costs $9-15. You pay at the counter and take note of whatever clever sign (made out of a paper plate) they have on their tip jar. It will make you want to tip them for being so creative.

Soft drinks, Sobe, and bottled water are the drinks available here, although you may see drunk college kids here if you are here on the weekend after 2am. It's a popular late night spot since it's located near the bars.

Anyways, this is the best pizza I've ever had in Texas (the best I've had was in Boston, actually, but I'm going to Chicago in two months, so we'll see if I find something better!).
