Antoon's Pizza — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

First of all, I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!! I was buying lunch for me & my client and stumbled across this place. They had a pick up special: Large Pizza $7.99!! I figured that the pizza would've been good because it was in the middle of Oakland, which is college territory. Boy was I wrong!!

When I walked in, the place looked to be as small as a college dorm room. The lighting was very dim and there was no seating area. The guy knew exactly what my order was, but now that I've ate the food, I assume I was probably the only customer he had in hours!! I ordered the large pizza with half extra cheese and half pepperoni. The pizza was very dry, had no flavor whatsoever, and didn't seem to have any sauce on it (which happens to be one of my favorite ingredients on a pizza)!! I literally pulled the cheese back and there was nothing there but white bread. There definitely wasn't extra cheese on it, even though I was charged for it. My client described the pizza as cheesy bread with pepperoni (which there was only like 8 pepperoni's on the pizza). I usually eat the crust, but the pizza was so dry that I just tore it off!

I can't believe this place is still open with Pizza Romano a half a block away! The only thing that was good about the pizza...

They have a menu...but we all know you came for the $6 cheese pizza. And I must say, it is mind blowing. For a mere $6 (plus tax and tip) and a ten minute wait, you shall have before you a pizza fired straight from the forge, still flesh searing hot but too delicious to resist. Be sure to dump on all the seasonings (garlic salt, basil/oregano?, and spicy red pepper andddd... FEAST my drunken friends. Though your taste buds may have temporarily seared off, you must eat through the pain...all the way to pizza nirvana!!!

But seriously you can get a better pie in Oakland for $6 and...

I will give Antoon's five stars all day long. The large cheese is unbeatable for the price and ready in 10 minutes from the time you place your order. Been going there since they opened. Just writing this review makes me want one. The folks that own and run it are great, too. Need plates and napkins, too? No problem. A true poor Pitt student's lifeline at times. But here I am older and not so poor anymore and I'm still getting one here or there on...
