About Don Antonio

Don Antonio is a restaurant known for its unique gluten-free and fried pizza options. The spacious interior features an open kitchen with a red brick stone oven for pizza baking. The restaurant offers a variety of flavors, including pistachio pesto and sausage pizza, as well as a lighter ricotta pizza. The pistachio pesto pizza has a subtle pistachio flavor, and the sausage is crumbly, while the ricotta cheese is creamy but doesn't stay well with the pizza dough when it cools down. The crust is chewy and bouncy, making it a highlight of the meal. The restaurant can accommodate dietary restrictions, offering a gluten-free menu and a separate oven for gluten-free preparation.

Visitors have enjoyed sitting outside during the summer, despite the prices being higher due to the central location in the theater district. Inside, the space can be crowded and noisy, especially on busy nights, and some customers have noted a chemical smell that detracts from the experience. Wait times can be around 40 minutes without a reservation, as they do not have a waiting area. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the pizza is similar to what’s served at well-known spots like Roberta’s. The restaurant is popular with Broadway goers looking for a quick, good pizza before or after shows, and some locals also come for the quality pizza.
