  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!!

  Had another supreme pizza here, still the best. I absolutely love the Italian sausage they use here and real mozzarella. I'm also a fan of strong garlic, the garlic wedges are covered in strong garlic and a whiff could probably choke any nearby vampires. Get my strong on. I pay extra for the house made ranch here and it is delicious.
  
  Had the chicken Alfredo pizza and vodka penne recently for a company event, we couldn't get enough!

  Great food. Family friendly.
  
  The young ladies at the counter were helpful when ordering. It was our first time trying the pizza here and we based our selection on yelp reviews.
  
  They have lunch specials during the week, which we took complete advantage of. They have a cream filled Stromboli that is highly recommended and tastes delicious warm. The pizza was good as was the Stromboli.
  
  This one gets 5 stars from my entire family.

  So whatever you order here is gonna come out to be very good and trust me on that! Their pizza's are good, their pastas are delicious, their garlic bread is phenomenal and make sure order them with extra garlic butter.
  
  They are not too pricey, they have decent lunch combos. Their salads are like whatever, but if I am going to this place I would never get a salad. I would rather get more garlic bread cause that's just yummmmm!
  
  We don't have that many Italian places in the area that could make good Pizza's and Pasta together. We mostly have pizza places around Riverside & Corona but very few good Italian places that serves both. And Anthony's is one of them.
  
  So make sure you guys order your Garlic Bread with Extra Garlic Butter.
