About this business
You will enjoy the show at this family-oriented pizzeria. The booths are always packed, with all eyes turned to the playful chefs flinging pizza dough high into the air. This sight is guaranteed to entertain the kids for the entire visit. Obviously, pizza is the name of the game, but do not expect these pizza pies to be anything like those mediocre home-delivered pizzas. Both the pizzas and the eggplant parmigiana inspire many repeat visits.

Almost as good as a pizza pocket – We drove out to Antonio's Flying Pizza because of the positive reviews here on citysearch. These reviews that claim anything good about the pizza must have been written by the owner's. The pizza is garbage. There is nothing special about this pizza that you couldn't get out of a frozen pizza pocket. Honestly, it may not be the worst pizza I've ever had, but it certainly comes close. Very uninspiring! I wasn't even upset that the couple that came after us were well into their salad before we... read more
Above Average Pizza – On a Tuesday evening, the hostess immediately led me to a table without a reservation. The waiter arrived promptly to take my order. The menu was more extensive than I expected, so I asked for additional time to peruse their selections. Although this casual booth-lined restaurant advertises itself as a pizza specialist, ninety percent of the menu consists of various Italian delights. I was in the mood for pizza when the waiter returned several minutes later, so I ordered a large pizza with pepperoni, bl... read more
Worth every penny...best Italian in Texas!!! – Yes, the wait can be a little long on a Friday or Saturday evening...but good things come to those who wait! I'm an Italian New Yorker and I'm telling you by far this is the "real deal"! None of that "foo foo" Carraba's food. This is real, simple downhome Italian cooking. Antonio is always there, making the pizza himself and he has a wonderful personality. I don't have a particular recommendation as everything I've tried is wonderful..although the linguinie w/ red clam sauce is ... read more
Definitely a decline in service, quality and experience. – It was a Saturday night and we decided to Antonio's for Italian for a birthday. We had out-of-towners and we thought it would be nice to have a 'family-style' dining experience since it has been years since we dined here. The wait turned to 40 minutes, not because it was crowded but because the hostess was unattentive. We had to seat ourselves after I tracked the hostess in the back at the bar. No apologies, no smile. The waiter, Mike, was short and non descriptive w... read more
best pizza in houston! – my very first choice for new york style pizza. if you love seafood definitely try the baked clams. a favorite for new york italians! on saturday nights get there EARLY to avoid long waiting time.
poor service – I've never had a pleasant dining experience because the servers are never in a hurry to take care of you. I finally decided to try take-out since they do have good food. Big mistake: the owner yelled at me in the restaurant when I asked for an extra side of spaghetti sauce. I even said I would pay for it, but he lectured me to never do that again. I was very confused, so I'll do him a favor and stick to Carrabba's on Kirby when I crave Italian food.
To Die For – Yes, the service has declined. Yes, the menu is pricey. Yes, the waiters are all spanish speaking immigrants. So what! The food is great and you can't eat anything close to it in this city. I can tolerate the bad and the ugly to enjoy the good.
ME ENCANTA – Antonio's is nestled in the heart of 1/100 of the busiest parts of Houston. I believe that Antonio's is the epitome of Italy. I've never been to Italy, but my mom's friend is from there... maybe I should get her to see. Anyway, the pizza is amazing... nothing like Pizza Hut (which is gross) and the spaghetti isn't bad either. The french bread is amazing as well. I highly recommend this place, however try to make reservations if its possible. Another reviewer said that they don't see lines out the door anymore. E... read more
the decline of a once wonderful place – as one that began going to antonio's in 1973 i have fond memories of many great meals. last night however, i took my family to celebrate a big occasion and we found the experience PAINFUL. The service was the worst I have ever had in a restaurant. The food had declined to something not worth a remembering. The real tell tale sign of decline was that the restaurant used to have long lines out the door all evening. This night, there were empty tables and immediate seating. It looks as if... read more
