    This high quality Italian pizza place checked every box for me, and then some. I met a friend outside who was just leaving the Restaurant and he said, "A better pizza restaurant in Riverside does not exist". My hopes were high as I started to order, and the staff did not disappoint. It's flabbergasting to me that this place doesn't have a perfect 5-Stars. If I could give it 10-Stars, I would. My rating is based on five different criteria: 1. Speed: We ordered a salad, spaghetti and a pizza. The salad and spaghetti came out about 4 minutes after we sat down and then the pizza came to our table 8 minutes later; perfect timing as we were just finishing up. 2. Quality: The spaghetti and pizza was served extremely hot (temperature), just how I like it. The taste of both was better than any I've ever had in Riverside, Corona or Norco. The very tasty sausages on the pizza were gigantic and everyone knows I love my sausage. The huge salad was great with the balsamic dressing; I didn't think I was going to like the cheese they put on top at first, but it actually was a nice combination. The complimentary breadsticks were unbelievable! The next time I'm ordering some to go. That alone would have been worth it. They told me that their recipe for the bread calls for everything to be made from scratch, right there on premises with the highest quality of ingredients. The striving for excellence really showed by the incredible taste and aromas that for me gave it that umami synergy that created harmony on our palates today. 3. Friendliness: I really hit it off with the staff and we had some laughs but they knew exactly the right moment to break it off since I was with my family. These are the type of people I would hang out with on the weekend and the kind you'd like to invite over for a party. 4. Cleanliness: The place was immaculate. What else can I add...the place was very clean all over. 5. Value for Price: This was a very memorable dining experience and definitely worth every penny. Negatives: Now this will sound very trivial but I honestly can't think of anything else; I had to ask for the Parmesan cheese and peppers condiments, they weren't already on the table. But now as I'm thinking about it, the Parmesan cheese container was cold so it came out of the refrigerator and that means they were mindful of the quality...that's a good thing. In summary, this is one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to in a long while, hands down. I had almost given up on finding a good local place for pizza. Thank you Anthony's for being close to my house and now I won't have to drive far to get to an extremely quality conscious pizza restaurant. One word to describe my experience: PERFECTION!!

    We have been going to Anthony's for a couple of years. It's a little hidden restaurant on Magnolia/McKinley (behind Baker's). If you are craving Italian, this is your place. When you dine in, they give you garlic knots. The service is always great. (The only thing that I hope they would consider changing is the use of paper plates when dining in). Suggested items to try are stromboli, lasagna, antipasto salad, and Fettuccine Alfredo. If like supporting small family owned businesses, try it❣️

    The food was so good! It's such a nice hole in the wall kinda place that you wouldn't expect to be so delicious! We ordered a Large Sausage and Peporoni Pizza with Buffalo Wings, Plain Boneless Wings, Wedges and 3 Drinks. You also get one order of complimentary Bread sticks, which caught us by suprise! The Pizza was delicious! Wedges were to die for! My husband also LOVED the bread sticks alot lol. The Bonless wings were perfect for our two kids. The Buffalo Wings was the only thing that was just okay lol they tasted good! But it wasn't a hit like the rest of the food. Even the Coka Cola tasted really good! They have booths and tables with a couple of games that you can keep an eye on the kiddos with. The service was fast and very pleasant! It probably also helped that we ate in an hr after they opened lol. Overall, we will definitely be comming again and even considering the catering that looks like they offer!

    This place has been on my list since I moved here, ordered a couple of items just to gauge the food. Momma's special and pepperoni pineapple pizza - good pizza the toppings had flavor and fresh, but was very doughy. Wish I got thin crust. Cannoli - good seemed fresh and tasty Stromboli - the best stromboli I've had, not too much dough, baked well! Overall I'll be coming here again for the stromboli for sure.

    Amazing service! The staff is very friendly and very helpful! My food came out very fast. I ordered the number one which is a personal pizza. You get to choose between two sides, wedges or salad. Both are well portioned and delicious. The make their own ranch dressing. You also get a side of garlic Bread that's to die for. Highly recommend!!

    I love this place. The pizza is excellent with the best ingredients. They even have artichoke hearts. The fresh hot buttery garlic bread is a favorite. Everything is delicious. Oh yes I almost forgot, try the Stromboli.

    I have been searching for a local place that makes traditional meat lasagna. I found that place today! Anthony's Pizza & Pasta met my needs. I ordered lasagna and cheese bread. I didn't realize the lasagna came with bread. I really carbed up tonight! The lasagna was full of flavor and the portion size can make two meals. I've had lasagna at other places where they smothered it with cheese. Anthony's knows how to balance the pasta, sauce and cheese! I will definitely be back to try their pizza and this will be my go-to place for lasagna!

    Solid pizza. Family style old school pizza joint. Looks like a tiny place when you walk in but has a large seating area on the left. Pastrami pizza is awesome. Hand tossed crust with medium thickness. Side salad was cold and fresh and basic. Just how we like them. They bring hot and fresh breadsticks dripping in butter to the table. Those are a meal in themselves. Will definitely go back to try the pasta dishes and sandwiches. A hidden gem in Corona.

    Huge portions, good quality/taste, fair prices, and relaxed atmosphere. Just found this place recently and it is instantly my go-to for pizza, hot sandwiches, etc. They include free parmesan garlic butter bread sticks if you dine in.

    Love this place. Im born and raised NY this is the best pizza and calzones I have had in the past 7 years of living in California. I used to live in Riverside and came here often, glad I had the opportunity to stop in and grab some good food. Great service.

  • 5/5 Brian C. 1 year ago on Google
    PHUH-NOMENAL. The crust! To die for... How can they make a pizza with a crust that is both chewy and crispy all at once? Maybe the BEST I've had out here on the West Coast since relocating from the Philly/Jersey area... ...and I should know good pizza. Nice dining room as well! Do yourselves a FAVOR and check this place out~ Worth the price of admission!

    Food is delicious and the staff is great but I have to say sometimes they get their orders wrong due to being super busy.So be sure check your order before walikg out. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs, even pointed to it on the menu and got home with a lasagna 😐🤷‍♀️ I mean it was good but not what I was craving at that moment.

  • 5/5 Arianna A. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for a small birthday lunch for my dad. His favorite is the meatball sandwich. I usually get the lasagna but I decided to try the lunch special mini pizza. 10$ for a drink, salad and personal pizza wasn't bad. They gave us so much food, I took home half my personal pizza! This is one of the best family owned pizza shops in Corona. I can't wait till we come back again

  • 5/5 Joshua C. 1 year ago on Google
    Been here a few times and love it each time. Fantastic food and friendly service. Breadsticks came with our meal each time. Spent $21 flat for a personal pizza, 6" sub and two drinks + the bread that came with it, which is a great deal by my standards. Highly recommend

    Antipasto Salad 🥗 👌🏼👍🏼. I’ve been on the look out for a killer antipasto salad and I’ve finally found it. I’ve had pizza here before many years back, which was good, but I wasn’t impressed with the restaurant itself inside so I’ve never come back to eat inside. Just last week though I was craving an antipasto salad and thought I would give Anthony’s another try with take out this time. To my surprise I’ve found my salad spot. So much so that today I ordered another salad to go. I’m definitely coming back more often for this.

  • 5/5 Daniel E. 1 year ago on Google
    The pizza was delicious! The sauce is what really sold us! My husband has been looking for a good pizza place to eat for a week, and we found it! There is a guy in there at the register that was super nice and made our experience way better too! My sister in law got spaghetti (she never finishes her food) but she tore that spaghetti up and finished it all! When we're in the area again we will stop by again for sure!

    A great little pizza place in a busy shopping center in Corona. Came here for lunch with a few coworkers shortly after they opened. The pizza was delicious, and if you dine in they give you a complimentary order of breadsticks. I'm glad we got their early because the place filled up pretty quick. The food is good and the locals know it. I'll definitely come back again if I'm in the area.
