Anna's Pizza & Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Poquoson

Stopped in for lunch today 9/27/24 at 11:45 the place wasn't hopping yet. So our choice of tables server was quick to offer beverages. And returned with the just as quickly. In fact so quick we had not time to decide from the extensive menu. And not just pizzas and Italian fare although it was well represented. Sandwiches of a variety and yeah I go to an Italian joint and don't order Italian. I was in the mood for beef! Philly Cheesesteak?! Risky outside of Philadelphia, 6" or 12"? 12inch of course. Anna makes her Philly with shaved sirloin and she doesn't skimp easily 8-10 oz on the bun with grilled onions, I said hold the green peppers not traditional of course neither is the mozzarella cheese, but I deemed it an acceptable substitute for the more traditional provolone. Anna's offers the whole garden on her Philly shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, banana peppers as well as mayo and vinaigrette dressing. No bring all that on the side. I'll enjoy the salad and a side of fries. When everything came out it was all separated 😂 nothing was touching they must've thought I was one of those... Nope just traditional. The torpedo roll was perfect crusty on the outside as if just baked, soft inside but not grilled. The steak was well seasoned and tender without gristle or excess fat. And as I said filled the roll the fries were served standing on ends in a soup crock ( very inventive) The garden toppings were barely noticed but for munching a few pepper rings. The iced tea was brewed not too strong just right and fresh. Server maintained contact with us but wasn't intrusive. Slipped in drink refills silently, not interrupting our conversation. I have to say this was the best restaurant experience and customer service I've had in a long while. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic job Anna and...

EDIT I originally gave Anna's 5 Stars, however after going back on 8-20-22, and ordering the Chicken Alfredo I've got to bring them back 2 stars. It was completely tasteless. Went here with a good friend of mine on June 23rd, 2022.

The reason for our visit was because I had previously tried the Alfredo, and didn't think that much of it. My friend however told me that I needed to go back and instead try a sub or a pizza. So I went and tried a sub instead, the "regular sub", and it was delicious. It was a large portion for just the half that I ordered.

We also got an order of cheese fries, which were also very good.

But the sub was really really good, and the service was...

Ordered a antipasta salad and got a Styrofoam container with a couple handfuls of lettuce and 2 pieces of ham rolled and 2 pieces of salami rolled up and 2 pieces of cheese rolled up with 3 olives laid on top of the lettuce. None of the toppings were cit up or shredded, nothing. I paid 8.99 for a salad kit that I had to make myself. Also no silverware and it was a to go order. I wonder if they serve the salad like that to eat in customers. Also there was a piece of bread with my salad just laid on top of the container inside the bag, not wrapped in a napkin or anything. I don't know who touched it to put it in the bag, im sure not gonna eat it. VERY...
