    I am Italian descent. I have been to Italy several times. I consider myself to be somewhat of a pizza connoisseur. I love the taste of an authentic thin crust pizza, made in a wood-fired oven, with hints of smoke and cooked with just the right amount of char. So in other words, I take my pizzas very seriously. Without a doubt, Antica is THE BEST and the MOST AUTHENTIC thin crust pizza I have had outside of Italy, and I have tried pizzas from many, many different "authentic Neapolitan pizzerias" (which I will not call out by name, since this review is all about Antica). Niagara Falls has become exceedingly touristy and commercialized, especially around Clifton Hill. Antica is the exception. It is clean, bright, with lots of seating, and it lets its cuisine speak for itself. I would walk barefoot over hot coals to eat here. It IS truly authentic, and it is so much more economical to have a truly amazing family pizza dinner here, compared to having to fly everyone to Italy. Eat here. You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

    The chicken pizza and cheese bread was delicious, but I was not impressed with the drinks. The peach cocktail was too sweet and just the ice. As it was a bright sunny day we opted the patio, and it was really beautiful outside. The service was very quick and the waitress was really nice.

    Absolutely amazing! Must be the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Oven made pizza is a must try! Pasta was very creamy and tasty. Great atmosphere and service as well.

    Over priced for what it is. The service was good but the Mediterranean salad only had two slices of tomato and cucumber, paid 15.99$ for basically just lettuce. They also gave me a fork that was super bent. The tiramisu was really good though! Better Italian restaurants around I’m sure!

    We were told that people come to this wood over pizza restaurant from all across the world! So we know we had to try it out! The property is a street shy off Clifton hills and is a huge space.. as you enter you see the wood oven and countless servers moving around with pizzas and pastas.. the place was never quiet, constant traffic and aromas of yummy food lingered. We were a group of 10 and were served with the sweetest server- we ordered mainly pizzas and a salad to go with it.. They do have gluten free options for anyone looking, and has the stamp of approval for sure. Don’t miss the underrated items like the beet and goat cheese or the bread! Prices are affordable for a location like Niagara! Must try 👍🏽

    The food was fine. I'm not sure what we expected (wife was probably expecting something amazing). My 5 year old daughter ate the pizza (which is good). However, she found the pepperoni too spicy (she doesn't like any spice). I thought the pepperoni was fine. It's a little pricey, but it's basically in the middle of a tourist spot in Niagara Falls. Well... That and it's after the pandemic. Everything costs so much more than before this crazy inflation in 2022. The staff is what sets this place apart from others. Very friendly staff. Always on top of things to ensure things are satisfactory. Overall, a good place to eat.

    After walking all day around the fun packed Clifton Hill, came here for a dinner on the patio. This place is right across the Go Kart place so you get to watch a bit of the Karts drive around as you eat. Food was good and I enjoyed both the pizza and calamari. I especially liked the sauce they included with the calamari and thought the pairing was delicious. Service was severely lacking though despite the number of staff they employ here. Wait time was long before a server came by. Didn’t even get a water refill. Also if you sit on the patio and happen to get the metal grill chairs, I recommend switching it to the ones with the hand rests. Those are much more comfortable. Have a great time in Niagara!

    OMG this place was truly amazing. It was recommended by a friend, and we also didn’t get to go but we made a last minute choice to check it out and boy were we glad we did! This was the best pizza either of us have ever tasted. And the dessert.. the cheesecake omg I am still fantasizing about it. Like the food was just amazing and I will definitely be going back to try the other types of food they have! Or even just to get another slice of cake and pizza ! And our server, Helen was amazing. So shout out to Helen for making the experience even better.

    So happy we went here! The service was a little slow but they were busy so no big deal. The pizzas were so good, I wish we lived closer so we could get this more often. Have already recommended it to others. Definitely worth checking out, won’t be disappointed.

    First time my family and I went here and it does not disappoint. We've tried 2 of their pizza ( Margherita and Bianca), pasta ( Fettuccine Bolognese), and Caprese and they're all good in our opinion. Serving was pretty good and quick too. Really recommend this if ever you are in the area.

    Food was just okay. The bruschetta was not very flavourful, tasted like it was made a day before. A bit disappointed with the parma, the pasta that came with it looked like it was made for a kid. Pizza was the best out of what we ordered but still wasn't the best. I much preferred the ones I've had in Scaddabush. Service was great no doubt.

    This place is incredible. It is home to the best pizza I have ever had… the pear & goat cheese pizza. This is a must try! You will absolutely love the atmosphere here, and the service is friendly & fast! Great place to eat! Parking out back is validated with your meal so you save $15 there!

    Easily one of the top 3 pizzas I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was pretty standard but the menu was extensive. Pictured is the New York and the Antica Paesano. What made this pizza good was the obviously fresh ingredients but a HUGE part of it was the dough. It was fantastic. So much flavour but still a great delivery system for the ingredients on top the pizza. The service was fantastic as well - the place was hopping and we waited about 5 minutes for a table at around 6:30. It was a fantastic spot as well, we had some views of the fire works.

    Good pizza and good service. One pizza is good for 2 people. They are around 12 inch. The crust was little overdone which made it little dry. Parking a next door is $20 but if you go in the back street couple blocks away its $10.

    Oh my goodness! The pizza we got was the prosciutto and arugula it’s was good. We got the Greek salad it was really good and the blue lemonade gin drink and beer were great. We sat on the patio, service was friendly and fast. The bill was at a nice price point.

    Much better than I anticipated for being in a touristy area. Server was nice and we arrived right before the dinner rush. Salmon was surprisingly grilled perfectly. Didn’t try their pizza but it looked really good.

  • 5/5 Richard C. 1 year ago on Google
    The four seasons pizza is nice and a very special one. The Alfredo fettuccine pasta is good. The tomato sauce is fresh with the giant meatballs. We family of three are enjoyed the lunch here :)

  • 4/5 Jasmijn M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute little restaurant with great pizzas and good wine. Only thing that I can think of is sharper knives that don't have a plastic handle (it was kind of hard to cut my pizza). I had the grilled vegetables & goat cheese pizza and they did not disappoint with the amount of goat cheese 😍

  • 3/5 Mickey C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice location and good ambience! I love the portion sizes. Kids meal were huge enough for an adult in my opinion. The staff were so very nice and accommodating. They have great alfresco dining and indoor seating. The food is quite average, spaghetti and penne were okay. However, we find the pepperoni on our pizzas very salty and the lasagna is overcooked more like mashed potato. Might be the first and last visit.

  • 5/5 George G. 1 year ago on Google
    We went as a family of five (including 3 kids under 8) for dinner and was the most memorable dining during our 4 day Niagara trip. We based our visit after checking out other reviewers. The service was very pleasant and prompt. We were greeted right away, and seated inside, and our waitress was also attentive the entire visit! Server offered us drinks and apps once we were settled. The kids loved the pasta dishes, including meatballs… they devoured everything, including the garlic bread. Wife had the gnocchi, and it was perfect; very flavorful in her own words. I went for the Cup & Char, which was exactly what I was craving; and the pizza totally tasted as the good as it looked! Hot and fresh as the other reviews stated. Only note was the Tiramisu was slightly frozen, however tasted good. Thanks for the excellent service!

    This was the highlight of our recent trip to Niagara. We stayed near this restaurant and had not decided what to have for dinner and just decided to take a chance and walk in. Lucky there was a booth for 2. We shared the goat cheese filo pastry, the pear and goat cheese wood fired pizza and a chocolate cake for dessert. It was delicious. The service was also great and where we sat we could see the pizzas being made. Thoroughly recommend this place.

  • 4/5 Antra M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Place was great. Felt the vibe of Europe. Nice food. Definitely awesome oven fresh pizza with lots of of options. I think the servers should keep chilly flakes, extra cheese on the table as they didn’t offer us. We ordered while at the other table the server asked beforehand. Overall it was good experience

  • 4/5 Asha R. 9 months ago on Google
    A great local wood fired pizza spot close to Clifton hill, near Niagara. Very prompt service. We got our drinks very quickly. The caprese and Mediterranean salads were very light and refreshing. The two pizzas (the artichoke one and pear brie) we ordered were delicious as well. Overall, highly recommend and we would visit again.

  • 5/5 Maria Ramsawak S. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely LOVE this spot! My now husband and I have been taking random trips to Niagara Falls and I’m so happy that we randomly discovered it one time while visiting. The wine and drinks are plentiful, the pizza, pasta and salad are large portions and absolutely delicious and we love the ambiance! We must always dine here when spending a weekend in Niagara! Can’t wait to visit again!! 🍝 🍕 🍷

  • 5/5 C_ B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for an awesome wood fire pizza. Went in on a Saturday night and got a table for two with less than 30minute wait! Pizza was amazing and came out so fast!!! Plus with the open kitchen I was able to watch my pizza cook. Very cool. Also wine is available by 5oz, or 9oz pour, very nice to have the option. If we travel to Niagara again this is on my list of places to eat!

  • 5/5 E J. 10 months ago on Google
    Unbelievable taste. The pizzas are amazing. The service is outstanding. If you are visiting Niagara Falls and are in a mood for good pizza, then this is the spot. Would like to recognize Rachel the server for her kind attention and recommendations. The food was good. Also serving beers.

  • 4/5 Breanne C. 10 months ago on Google
    Shockingly delicious considering the location and proximity to the hill! As locals, we are nervous when dining in the area because of prices (tourist tax), service, wait times and quality. This restaurant was honestly great. Our pizza came out really quickly, and our server was lovely. Two pints, and two pizzas for $70. Not too bad.

  • 5/5 Imran L. 10 months ago on Google
    I was visiting Canada for first time from US. My guide recommended me this restaurant and told me you should not leave without trying it. We came here for lunch, kids ordered Penne pasta and spaghetti and wifey and I ordered Goat cheese Veg pizza. We also ordered a goat cheese starter, which i am forgetting the name but it was awesome. Pizza was good and very authentic wood oven flavor. The place is little overpriced but it’s a good place to dine in. Will definitely come here again if I visit Niagara sometime in future. Suggestion for owner: You have maintained good restaurant but might wanna check to lower prices a little bit. Suggestion for Customers: I went with Veg pizza due to my dietary restrictions but if you are here try any pizza, totally worth it. Flavor - Star - 9.5 / 10 Authenticity of Flavor - Star - 8.5 / 10 Cleanliness - Star - 8 / 10 Service - Star - 8 / 10 Value for Money - Star - 8 / 10 Above format would be best to justify my review so i will hopefully continue to keep this for all my next reviews.

    Amazing food, great service and it's right in the entertainment district. So convenient!. Calamari and pizza were amazing. Fresh and tasty. We've got our food very fast and with the smile. Prices are more than reasonable and portions are big. Definitely the place to return.

  • 5/5 Mimi M. 10 months ago on Google
    I would like to start my review by saying that every time I go to Niagara Falls, I enjoy eating at Antica pizzeria. The food is always delicious. I can’t say enough about their wood oven pizza. They have so many varieties. I’m sorry I don’t have pictures of the pizza, but it looked so good that I finished the whole thing before I realized I didn’t take any pictures. The calamari appetizer was also delicious. Our server was great. Antica pizzeria validates parking!

  • 5/5 James M. 10 months ago on Google
    My wife and I stopped in for a gluten free pizza for dinner and to reminisce. We ate here 15 years ago on our honeymoon and loved it. A lot has changed about Antica in 15 years, but it’s still a good place to enjoy a pizza. We ordered the Americana and it was good. Our server was named Michael and he was excellent!

  • 5/5 Lauren E. D. 1 year ago on Google
    The server Brianna was amazing. The atmosphere was fantastic and the food delicious. My daughter and I ordered a Minestrone soup, soup of the day, as a starter and Oven Baked garlic bread with cheese. The soup was so flavorful and the bread yummy. I order the Calabrese Pizza, my son and daughter-in-law ordered the Meat Lover and a Cheese pizza. Pizza came out perfectly cooked, well done like we like it. Prices were good! We definitely go back! We didn’t have enough room in our bellies for dessert.

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 1 year ago on Google
    As I always start my reviews - service was good. The waitress was fairly attentive and was professional. I love that they brought the kids food out as soon as it was ready even though ours wasn't yet. We were starving and if you have kids, you know the true meaning of "hangry." 😬🤣 The food was delicious. The pizza was amazing. A couple of my kids got spaghetti with meatballs and the sauce tasted like it was homemade. The meatball was huge and was delicious as well. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Gregg V. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice meal! Large portions and tasted fresh. The chicken parm was smothered in sauce and the fettuccine as well - really great. The food came quick and the staff was friendly and attentive. Very large restaurant with a cool stone oven for the pizza. It was also quick to sit as there was plenty of space and nice timing for when the food came out.
