Tried a few things: Caesar salad, margarita pizza, buffalo wings, and garlic knots. They were all tasty but the wings were my favorite! Will definitely come back to try the other menu items. Also, service was great. We were seated right away and the server was always checking up on us so kudos to him!

I was just walking down the street, and my friends saw me and roped me into stopping in for lunch. Got a large caeser salad with chicken (portion was good value for the price). Our bartender Diego was super helpful and the conversation we had enhanced the vibe of the meal quite a bit. I stopped in on a tuesday, but I heard he doubles as a server some other days of the week. Definitely won’t be my last visit.

Pizza in its own style and taste. Have always enjoyed Anthony’s pizza every where it is available and this one in Bethesda maintains that track record.

Tried this place for the first time and the pizza was average…at best. Ordered the carnivore pizza. Then ordered 4 different types of wings to try them out. They were bland. The best ones were the Buffalo wings. Good flavor and fresh but nothing amazing. For pizza in Bethesda, I have a favorite just around the corner from Anthony’s. Truly authentic Italian pizza. I’ll stay loyal to that place.

Great place for delivery. Really, there’s no better pizza around. But don’t recommend for either pickup or dine in. Really hard to find a spot to park for pickup (and they don’t do curbside any more) and walking in, it just had a funky smell about it. But again, fabulous pizza for delivery or if you happen to be walking in the area already.

First time here and the service was amazing. For drinks, two appetizers and a pizza our tab was under $50. The pizza was good, and those garlic knots, addicting! The wings were nothing special but I would definitely come back. Also Wednesdays they have a $10 cheese pizza sale and a rewards program.

This pizza was pretty good, nothing outstanding about it. There was tons of pepperoni which made us happy! And the 12” was bigger than the most wood fired pizzas in the area. I enjoyed it but after the fact there wasn’t a lot about it that made it very memorable. Service was good and I liked that on a busy Saturday night they had parking spots blocked off for carry out pick ups. That was really convenient!

My pizza is covered in dust. Every bite creates a snowstorm. I feel like I kissed the beach. After the bad experience I went over to see the area where they make pizzas and they had out a mini mountain of flour on the table. The amount of flour the use to stretch their pizzas means, to me, that they are most likely reusing the flour for the next day. This means more germs and bacteria for the next batch. the flavor is great but with the excessive dust on the pizza it’s hard to enjoy. Try bringing some sort of duster with you if you want to enjoy this pizza.

This was our second visit to this restaurant. First time, Crystal was our server and was just fabulous. This second time, we had Brian, who was also extremely capable and courteous. So far, the dining room has a great performance but to my surprise the kitchen is missing adult supervision. My pizza bottom and edges were burned black. It felt like I was eating charcoal particles. I felt that particles of charcoal had landed on top of my pizza. The roasted chicken wings were good but were either under cooked or over exposed in the 900 degree oven – the meat did not pull easily from the bones. The Anthony’s classic salad with tuna was fresh and tasty. The rigatoni and meatball was tasty but would have been better if this entree was offered with 2 meatballs and served hotter. The draft Yuengling beer was served nice and cold – refreshing. When we were leaving, we noticed that the front greeting area and pathway were very slippery. I thought the floor had been mopped with grease. I almost fell down. This restaurant is very unbalanced. I don’t understand the concept and will leave it at that. P.S. Lessons need to be given to the kitchen staff on how to control the heat of their oven. This will dramatically improve their “coal fired” cooking.
