Decent Food, Poor Service

by woodbone

WE have lived in park slope for a year and a half, and have looked at, passed by, and considered Anthony's on 7th ave for a year and a half, and tonight we finally took the plunge.

To be brief, honest, and considerate. The service was S L O W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W. The staff was nice and very considerate of how S L O W they had been.

The food was just average. I have eaten all over the country; this food is average. The arugala salad was awful. No salt, no taste, no acid, no good. I had Margherita Pizza and while much better than the salad, still very average. My friend had the veal, and it was good. Good.

Whoever is running the show, read this. Tighten up the staff. Improve your food! Expand your wine list. We wont be back.

• Pros: eh
• Cons: poor poor service, average food

We were just walking by....

When we peaked into Anthony's. The ambiance, laughter and familial atmosphere made us feel welcomed!

Try the lightly breaded chicken cutlets with the fresh basil and tomatoes!

Great Pizza, lively environment, great service...

by sajid1975

We just returned from Anthony's and I had decided to write a review based on my experience, it was sort of chilly tonight, making for a crowded front waiting area, I was told the wait time would be 15 minutes but I suspected otherwise, as we waited the guest ahead of us were seated, finally after 25 minutes of waiting, we were seated. I had an argument with the waiter on informing me that the wait time was only 15 minutes when in reallity it was much longer, this was important since I had my 3 year old son with me. He appoligized and all was forgiven, he even gave us complimentary eggplant parm, very delicious I might add, we ordered salad, tomato with mozerella, two cokes, and a margarita pizza.

Overall the experience was great, the service was great, the food was great, the time it took to get the meals was great, I would defenitely recommend another visit. The place is a bit small which adds to the charm but plan for an extra wait time as they are pretty busy at times. I tipped 25% to my satisfaction.

• Pros: Great service, friendly, great food
• Cons: Small space, longer wait time, a bit dark for kids

Good Food....well, it better be at those prices!

by metalpete

The food is good, but the price tag is significant. I guess it goes along with the wealthy, nose-in-the-air people that live in the area, but it probably wasn't worth it in the end. There are better pizza places to choose from in the area, and you won't have to sell your soul just to have a nice dinner.

• Pros: pretty good food, nice atmosphere
• Cons: too expensive for what you get

Great Pizza, Service

by kaylaandrewsny

My cousin brought me here because she lives down the street. They have fantastic pizza and I tried one of the specials, a saltimbocca that was delicious. We sat outside in the garden. Service was great-- they were so accommodating (and we have a big family with lots of kids). It's also cheap, considering most of the restaurants in the area. I definitely plan on going back.

• Pros: Kid-friendly, great pizza

I LOVE this place

by abcnewyork

Anthony's is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Slope. I've been going there since it opened. The pizza and salads are delicious and the owners are incredibly sweet (and not too bad on the eyes either). They treat everyone like family. Definitely recommended!

• Pros: Service, Food, Price
• Cons: Small

NOT IMPRESSED

by misc193

while in brooklyn this weekend, is asked around for a good italian spot to eat at. anthony's came highly recommended. while the pricing is ok but unfortunately the food was bland (mine was semi burnt - i smelled it before they even put the food down in front of me)

overall i would not recommend this place.

• Pros: nice place, nice staff
• Cons: bland food

Best Pizza in Park Slope!!!

by bkcritic

I really don't understand some of the reviews for this restaurant on this site. Complaints about the size and the price of the pies? One word for you "dudes"...Dominoes. I hear they have a "Brooklyn Style" pie and I'm sure the price will be right for you. What you do get at Anthonys is a pizza made from people that know the importance of quality, not just in the ingredients, but in the preparation as well. Plus, the prices are on par with all the "gourmet" pizza places around the city. As for the service, I've been eating here for about a year now and I feel like family when I walk in. As for the "I'm from NY and I know pizza" line that you hear every so often, let me set a few things straight... I'm from New Haven, home of Sally's and Pepe's, and have been eating NY pizza for the past 15 years as well. Grimaldi's and Lombardi's are both completely over-rated, when you hear someone spout off about either of those places, it's a good chance that you're trusting the opinion of a person who gets their thoughts from a Zagats guide. You want the best pie in Manhattan, go to Patsy's, not the rip-offs, the real one on 118th and 1st. You want the best pie in all 5 boro's, go to DiFara's in Midwood, BK. And if you want the best pizza (and great food as well) in Park Slope and the neighborhoods around it, go to Anthony's. You want a big pizza for a cheap price, call Pizza Hut and stop talking like you know anything about pizza.

• Pros: Great service, incredible food.
• Cons: Fills up quick on weekend nights.

Anthony's is nothing special - Bad Park Slope Pizza

by bklyndudes

I passed Anthony's place a few times when in south slope so I figured I would give the pizza a try after having read a review on citysearch - My GF and I wanted to get some "good Pizza" and thought we would check it out and see if it compares with some of the other bklyn brick oven gourmet pizza joints...

A small personal pizza costs $17.00 but its not even close to Grimaldi's in size or taste - Grimadi's ain't even the best in NYC but at least serves a decent sized pizza for the high cost. at Anthony's I ordered a pie for us and it was a 12" personal pizza and in no way enough for 2 people - for 17 bucks the pizza has got to be bigger than that fellas, sorry to say it but it ain't even that good and I am from New York city, I am Bklyn not some out of towner (no offense). I had better pizza in friggin' Montauk at a low budget family joint so what does that tell you folks - look elsewhere for good gourmet pizza in the slope.
