We traveled from the United States to Windsor specifically to try Antonino’s after reading strong reviews, especially about their garlic sauce and authentic-style pizza. We were excited to make the three-hour trip and had planned this lunch stop carefully as part of our day.

When we arrived, the parking lot was nearly empty, which initially made us wonder if they were open. Inside, the restaurant was relatively simple in décor — nothing particularly special — but overall it appeared reasonably clean. Some tables had leftover dishes and drinks on them, and it wasn’t clear if guests were expected to clear their own tables or if staff handled cleanup. There did not seem to be much active table maintenance happening during our visit.

We ordered a cheese pizza to share and focaccia with garlic dipping sauce. I confirmed at the counter that the focaccia would come with the garlic sauce, and I specifically asked for it to be served as an appetizer before the pizza. The staff member confirmed this and said it would be brought out first.

The pizza was estimated to take about 25 minutes, which we understood. However, the focaccia did not arrive as requested. When our order was called, it turned out to be the pizza — not the appetizer. After asking about the focaccia, we were told it had been forgotten and would be brought out shortly. Unfortunately, it arrived after we had already eaten most of the pizza.

The pizza itself was served very hot and fresh. The crust was decent, and the first slice was enjoyable while warm. However, once it cooled, the flavor became fairly basic. We ordered cheese only since we were unsure of the ingredients in other toppings. Overall, it was good when freshly made but did not stand out in flavor compared to other highly rated pizza spots.

The biggest disappointment was the garlic sauce experience. We had traveled specifically expecting a distinctive garlic sauce based on reviews, but the focaccia arrived with a standard tomato-style sauce instead. This was confusing, especially since I had confirmed the garlic sauce at the counter. That inconsistency affected the overall experience significantly.

Additionally, the timing of the appetizer and order mix-up meant we weren’t able to take home as much food as we had planned. What was intended to be a shared meal with leftovers for family turned into finishing nearly the entire pizza while waiting for the focaccia.

Service felt inattentive at times, with several employees appearing disengaged during our visit. It seemed like there may have been opportunities for better coordination and table monitoring, especially during slower periods.

While the restaurant was not unsanitary, and the food was served hot, the overall experience did not match the expectations set by the online reviews. Based on our visit, we would not plan to return.

I love your pizza, but if you are busy or overworked please stop accepting orders. I waited 65 min for this order. Then there is eyelashes on the pizza. Ruined family’s dinner.

We were in Windsor for the day and knew we had to try Windsor Pizza. Antonino’s was recommended and didn’t disappoint. Our slices had tasty, crisp crust, delicious sauce, creamy cheese and the famous grated pepperoni. Sooo good! And very reasonably priced.

It was our first time trying this franchise and the pizza did not disappoint. When we ordered, the young man who answered our call was very friendly and honest with the wait time (65 minute wait). We had ordered a king size and 2 personal pizzas for takeout.

Upon arrival, the young female was very friendly and told us she would be right with us after dealing with another customer before us. As stated, within 65 minutes of the wait time, they had our order ready to go. The pizza itself was freshly made and delicious. To start, the dough was thin and very crispy. For my personal pizza, I had the sausage, Italian sausage, pineapple, & fresh mushrooms and I’m happy to say they did not skimp on toppings. For its price and size, the personal pizza was more than enough for me.

The only downside was the lengthy wait time. I highly advise customers to call in early to avoid the long wait if you’re looking to place an order.

Overall, I enjoyed my pizza and I definitely will be back to order more. I recommend everyone to check out Antonino’s if you’re in the area and looking for great pizza.

My husband and I ordered a large pizza to eat in. It was amazing! Thin crispy crust, great sauce, just the right amount of toppings and plenty of mozzarella. Chefs Kiss . This brings me back to younger days when everyone made food fresh and casual was cool . Order at the front and take a seat till they call you when it comes out of the oven. Nothing better

First time trying this place for pizza. Ordered the house special and it was great. Very good pizza worth the 35 minute wait . Place is very busy on a Friday night so best to call in your order. Washrooms are clean and clean eating area inside and outside. The only dissatisfaction was with the calzones. Found they had more bread than the actual filling so didn’t enjoy those as much. Marinara sauce was a little watery. Garlicky dip was good. Overall good experience, will call ahead next time .

I’m in town training and I was told I had to try this pizza. It was definitely worth the try and if I’m back in town again I’ll be back for sure. They had a special for the angry Canadian and it was delicious

I don’t know if you remember me. I’ve been enjoying your pizza since 2001, when I started high school. I was a teenager who loved soccer and pizza, and I went to eat at Antonino’s almost every day. Back then, I had to get permission from my high school dorm supervisor. I always enjoyed walking to Antonino’s Pizza and ordering pineapple and pepperoni. There weren’t many seats back then—just two chairs in front of the fridge where my friends and I would sit to eat. When the space wasn’t available, we sat at the rock table outside. I’m not sure if I spoke to the owner or the owner’s son, but he told me he’d put my name on a table when he got one. I visited a few times after leaving Windsor, and I’m thrilled to see the place now has tables and chairs. I miss those days, but I’m glad the pizza still tastes the same, and your cannoli is the best in the world. Thank you for making superior pizza. I still think your pizza is the BEST.

After seeing many suggestions about Antonino’s having the best pizza in Windsor, my wife and I finally tried it. We got the medium Veggie pizza, a can of pop, and a garlic dipping sauce. Took them about 25 minutes for the order. My first reaction was, wow this is expensive! $40 for a medium veggie pizza is a lot (we live in the GTA, so this is considered an expensive pie) especially when the pizza just tasted like an average pizza I can get anywhere. The pizza was not bad, but considering the hype and the price, we had high expectations and they most definitely were not met.

Overall experience I’d give it a 3/5 because it was average at best, and in my opinion, overpriced.
