Shane, our roommate and close friend introduced us to Antonio’s. He and Ray are pizza whores. Me, not so much but whatever, I’m always up for a new place. Usually, when we get pizza I let the boys make the decisions; today was no different. If you don’t already know from my previous blogs, I like to order my dessert before hand, so when I noticed a gelato stand my attention immediately shifted. The guy behind the counter seemed as though he had no prior experience in scooping gelato. I don’t remember what flavor I ordered or the price, but what I can say is that it was at par with the pizza, nothing amazing.

The boys ordered Antonio’s Fabulous Garlic Bread Rolls, $3.50. Just one look and I swear my cholesterol went up.

You see what I mean. I’m not crazy about butter, especially when it’s melted but I do like garlic, however, these were actually done really well. They came out fresh and piping hot. In my opinion when garlic and butter are involved, it’s tends to be too salty, like most garlic breads. But this was different, it wasn’t too salty at all and you can taste the garlic loud and clear. As soon as it hits your lips it screams, “What’s up, I’m Garlic Butter. How you doing?” Yep, that’s exactly what it says.

Now, as for the pizza . . . I want to tell you I love it because I’m a little frightened for my life if I give this place a bad review. Have you seen the owner?

This is the owner. Yes, that is a mohawk and a mullet. He likes long walks on the beach, mud wrestling, arm wrestling, little boys, big girls, big trucks, and crushing things like an itty- bitty pimple. Dude, I don’t reckon this picture is helping him get laid. Should I be writing this? Did I mention, I’m a little frighten for my life. Let’s move on to the pizza.
We got a two topping medium with mushroom and sausage (what Ray usually gets). I don’t remember the exact price but I’m guesstimating $15.00.

Most of the toppings were in the middle. Once you eat half way through a slice all you get is cheese and sauce and then crust.

I mean, just look at the toppings. To the naked eye it looks generous but don’t be fooled. The mushrooms are cut paper thin and the meat is like ground beef shavings.
Another thing that sucks about this place is that they don’t give free refills on their sodas. Ray wasn’t aware of this so he downed his first soda when we got the artery clogging garlic balls, and had to purchase another soda when we got the pizza. It’s a good thing I don’t drink soda. Nope, all my empty calories are reserved for dessert purposes only.

Just for the record, I would have stolen the refill.
The ambiance was tables, a couple arcade games and pictures of frightening, deformed muscle heads that are probably going to hunt me down beat me with a metal chair, body slam my ass onto the concrete and them cut me into four equal parts and beat each other with it.

You know, now that I think about it, this place really wasn’t that bad. The artery balls are dangerous. Once you pop, you can’t, you can’t stop. The gelato was sweet and the pizza was hot.
