So this place in vernon was my first pizza spot when I moved back to the manchester area, despite it just over the town line in vernon. The pizza made a great first impression. The owner isn't exactly Mr. Personable. But the food is solid, and they know how to season and cook their food well.
The grinders are, in my opinion, the best 16-inch ones currently in the area, followed by Andyi's pizza in Manchester, which wins on value and better quality bread, but Anthony's wins on everything else in terms of taste, quality meats and fillings, and how stuffed they can be, although like most places, a bit less so these days. But, with Anthony's you pay for that quality. They aren't cheap, and the bread is standard fare I'm the area. Andi's wins on value and bread. But if cost isn't an issue, it is get Anthony's every time.
Both places here are better than CJs which is overpriced, thin, dry, and has gone downhill. What I like about Anthony's is they actually cook their bacon, no pre cooked or bacon bits on that grinder or pizza and when you ask for extra anything here, be it pizza or grinder, they really do it. Most places don't and just charge you more for the same amount, basically.
Apps are solid but overpriced. Can't speak to the Italian dinners. I go to joey garlics for that, but they could be decent given the rest. Calzones are tasty and seasoned but not generously filled like their grinders. Their are better spots for that. All the pizzas are yummy, but not massive. the crust is seasoned, etc. I recommend a white pie with bacon and ricotta. 🤌
UPDATE: It is now under new ownership by a Muslim family who stuck gigantic food truck next to the building serving gyros. It's definitely weird. It's definitely...
Read moreI lived in Vernon for 25 years and I have to say normally I only write bad reviews .. But today I have decided to write a good review because of the impeccable service I received from Dave and his employees . I have tried everything in there at one point or another and not once did I ever complain .Alway had great service and great food .. But just like any other business there will be a mistake made at some point , especially being in business as long Dave has been there . So I called Dave and I asked him about my order and he even remembered the order .. He knew why and how the mistake was made.. unfortunately it was a staff member that made the mistake and I understood especially in today’s times trying to find good help to keep the business running .. He was apologetic and wanted to give me a free meal and I told him no that was not necessary . Here it is Christmas Eve and I was doing some last-minute shopping and I wanna grab my favorite meal . apparently Dave remembered my voice over the phone and he gave me a meal for free that was more then the meal that was made wrong .. I thought I could fool him going in there with my cash in hand ready to pay and he remembered the conversation and gave me the meal and said merry Christmas !!! Well Dave merry Christmas to you and your family as well thanks for being there for your community...
Read moreMy husband and I enjoy Lebanese food, Mediterranean food so we stopped in to try this place. We were met by a man in all black with visible food on his clothes front an back. Obviously had been cooking with no apron an had wiped his hands on his rear. This should have been our sign to turn around but he was very nice so we decided to sit anyway. He said since it was our first time there to try the entree. We did we got the 2 meat platter an a chicken shawarma wrap. The shawarma wrap was ok unfortunately chicken didnt seem seasoned. Overall maybe a 5 out 10 compared to other places. The entree we ordered was the lamb shawarma an spicy chicken shawarma. The dish came with bread that had clearly been previously heated an stored an served to us unfortunately. It was like trying to eat cardboard with hummus on it. The lamb was very dry. The spicy chicken was the best of the 3 meats we tried it had flavor an a kick which was nice. The hummus was good but unfortunately no bread to eat it with. Overall we were disappointed, based on the previous reviews we were excited to try but sadly not accurate for us. Which was my main motivator for leaving this review. I hope the owner sees this an makes some necessary changes. Unfortunately this place missed the mark an details like fresh bread an a clean appearance would have us give this place...
