About Antonio's

More than just pizza.

Antonio's started in Amherst in 1991 with a simple promise: big flavor, quick slices, and a shop that feels local the moment you walk in.

Our story

From one Amherst slice shop to a family of pizzerias.

It all began in 1991 in the college town of Amherst. What started as one small pizzeria quickly became a favorite with locals and students alike. Our founder, Steve, learned the craft from his mentor, Bruno, who taught him to make pizza the traditional way.

As word about our slices got around, Steve began opening more Antonio's Pizza by the Slice shops across Rhode Island, Texas, Illinois, and Massachusetts.

From the crisp crust to the rich sauce and the toppings piled high, every bite reflects the care we put into it. Year after year, the awards, the recognition, and all the love from our community keep us going.

Whether you're grabbing a quick slice on the go or sitting down for a meal with family and friends, Antonio's Pizza by the Slice is more than just a place to eat. It's a celebration of good food and good company.

From those first days in Amherst to our growing family of pizzerias, we're still set on serving the best pizza around — thanks to Bruno's inspiration, Steve's passion and vision, and a wonderful team who help us share our love for real Italian pizza.

Welcome to Antonio's Pizza by the Slice, where tradition meets taste and there's a slice for every craving. We can't wait to serve you!
