Visiting Catalina island and looked up this place beforehand. Great tasting vegetarian pizza, nice staff, fairly good value. At outside and had a great time.

We regularly visit Avalon, Catalina Island, and one of the 'must eat' stops we always make (along with Big Olaf's Ice Cream) is Antonio's Original Pizza. It's just a couple of blocks down toward the water from our rental cottage, and just a few steps away from the waterfront. We must confess we have never been inside the restaurant, but... More

We were in at lunch and we ordered bread and fried zuccini...how do you forget to bring us half the order and you were not busy at all. So we really can't give them a great grade but I wont call it horrible the garlic bread was delicious.

while in Catalina we ate here twice and both times we were happy with our meals. They are open well after all the other places have closed.

We've been eating at Antonio's for over 20 years. As avid SCUBA divers we often go to Catalina and never pass up an opportunity to devour our favorite chocolate cake. They have a lot of great dishes, but save room for dessert. The only drawback is that the cake is made fresh daily and they do run out.

Loved the interior. Lots of things to look at when not looking at the view! Peanuts were served when you sit down and the shells went on the floor. The pizza was served hot, which was great...but too much cheese and then unfortunately sprinkled with dried oregano at the end. This is not thin crust nor thick crust but in... More

Fun kitschey decor, free peanuts to eat (& throw shells on the floor), and funky booths or tables inside with outdoor patio seating on the water. We had the BEST pizza there, too- totally didn't expect it to be as great as it was! Saw lots of locals there too - always a good sign. Don't miss the bathroom signs... More

Life changing. Need I say more? This quaint location has great staff, peanuts on the floor, and the best tacos on the island. I'm coming back just for these!
