Best WLM Reviews
I was listening to a fella at Clayton Guns ( an employee) who was talking about certain Italian food and after making me hungry I had to know what he was talking about. He mentioned a restaurant in Clayton called Anthony's Pizza and Pasta. Well after finishing my business I went to this place highly mentioned. At first when I pulled up to the establishment it reminded me of other pizza joints throughout Clayton,Smithfield and Garner. Some good and others well...nothing to write home about. Big Mistake ... Anyway I went in and after ordering my meal I got a totally different vibe. EXCELLENT Food, and service. Don't know why I never heard of this place before maybe because it's between two other restaurants. Trust this though this ain't my last time going to this great truly Italian Pizzeria. Next time I will bring my wife and taste other selections. I had the Large Lasagna which OMG I would recommend to the Pope. All was prepared and seasoned perfectly. Price was right and I look forward to my next visit. By the Way, this place is owned by true Italians from New York and well worth not having to go to Raleigh for an Italian meal.
Delicious!! Also has good service
My mom and I came in as we were going through clayton, and stopped here. We were greeted well, and had our chairs pulled out for us! We both ordered lasagna and it was super!!!
Definitely a good place to stop whether your a local or not!
Cant wait to come back for pizza ✨️
I was skeptical of dining here after reading the reviews but my wife and I decided to give Anthony's our own rating. I have to say I'm not sure where the other reviewers ate but it obviously wasn't this place. Our waitress Makenzie was on top of her game and we were given everything we requested immediately and always with a smile. I decided on the lasagna and I couldn't even finish my plate because of the enormous portion size. My wife opted for the baked zitti and she said it was fabulous and she couldn't finish her plate either. Even though we were stuffed we just had to try the tall cheesecake and it was so good! The whole experience was well worth the drive from 50 miles away just to eat here. We both agree this restaurant is well worthy of 5 stars and we highly recommend it!
Wow! I am very impressed with this place. Food was fantastic, service great...a little tight for seating but other than that was a wonderful date night with my husband.
We had the Farfalle and Limencello cake...so good!
Took home the calzone for BIL and he was very happy with it.
I ordered the Chicken Rollatini. I was disappointed. The prosciutto and salami didn't seem cooked in the Rollatini. The squash and zucchini tasted like it was cooked on a propane grill. It tasted like propane. This was a Grubhub order. My husband and mom got Philly cheesesteaks. Mom liked hers but my husband said his wasn't all that good.
Just like most pizza joints on a Friday night, busy, busy, busy! Lots of families and a few screaming babies, of course....
The dining room tables reminded me a bit of NY style seating, where your neighbor is close and will want to watch the backup camera when pushing your chair away from the table. The dining room is all hard surfaces, so the sound just bounces around and fells like sitting in a cafeteria or food hall.
When does a salad turn into soup? When you don't drain the lettuce long enough and the dressing loses its consistency, becoming a soupy mess. Even worse the croutons turn to mush, and I lose interest in finishing my Caesar salad. I am still on fence as to whether the Caesar dressing is house made, either way I think it could use less salt. The plan to skip the salad in the future to avoid further disappointment, seems like a good direction.
The menu is impressive, good variety of Italian entrees. The pizza is definitely a contender for the pizza scene in Clayton, I enjoyed the slight sweet and tangy flavor within what I would consider a full-bodied sauce. Slap that sauce onto a light and fluffy dough, seared a bit at the bottom, topped with fresh mozzarella and were good.
Unfortunately, the deserts are not house made, which is disappointing since I love my dessert, as a result I decided not to gamble on the Cannoli. The staff impressively handle the dining room, even at its busiest times.
Cheers!
Late lunch, Sunday. We were able to sit readily. Staff was very attentive. We received the oil/balsamic dip for the bread. The bread had a crusty top, soft underneath, and hot from the oven. I got the pesto penne with chicken. The sauce was "dreamy creamy" and coated the pasta well. The pasta was cooked perfectly with some texture-definitely not overdone. I had to ask for more bread because I wanted to get every bit of that sauce after I finished my pasta. Staff were promptly about clearing plates. Staff thought I was finished a couple of times, but I was still working on my sauce. My dish was clean when finished. My friend got the baked ziti. It was ooey, gooey, cheesy. You could see the cheese pull as he ate it. Pasta again cooked perfectly. The sauce was a simple marinara and very flavorful. Excellent meal. Worth every penny.
Supreme!!! Visited on Friday 5/3, dinner time for takeout pizza! Wonderful front end area, promptly greeted when opening door, fantastic customer service!! Great pizza! When in Clayton, visit here!!!
