Pizza Styles & Crusts

Since 1967, this signature pan pizza has defined the heart and heritage of Antonio’s, a style born and perfected in the neighborhoods of Cleveland. If there were ever a true Cleveland-Style Pizza, this would be it. A timeless classic that balances tradition, craftsmanship, and unmistakable flavor.

          Our original recipe features a perfectly crafted pan crust that sits right in the sweet spot between thin and thick. It bakes to a delicate crunch on the outside while remaining soft and tender inside, with a warm, Italian bread–like texture that makes every bite deeply satisfying. We pair it with our classic house pizza sauce, rich, savory, and versatile enough to complement any sauce preference you choose. Traditionally topped with provolone cheese for its smooth melt and balanced flavor, the pizza is finished with your favorite toppings and baked to a beautiful golden perfection. The result is a comforting, nostalgic slice that honors our beginnings and continues to be a customer favorite decades later.

It’s layered with a sweet California crushed tomato pomarola sauce that adds bright, balanced flavor, then finished with a premium blend of Wisconsin mozzarella, provolone, and white cheddar cheeses that melt into rich, savory perfection. Topped with your favorite ingredients, each square slice offers a satisfying harmony of crunch, softness, and bold flavor, a modern tribute to one of America’s most celebrated pizza traditions.

A layer of vibrant California crushed tomato Pomarola sauce adds bright, savory depth, while the highest-quality provolone cheese melts into a golden, savory blanket. Your favorite toppings are added, then the pizza is baked to perfection, producing a crisp, crackling crust and a rich, flavorful bite every time.

Experience the indulgent tradition of authentic Chicago–Style Deep Dish Pizza, inspired by the legendary pies of Chicago. This iconic stuffed creation is built layer by flavorful layer, transforming simple ingredients into a true culinary centerpiece.

         We begin with a foundation of our signature house-made dough. A generous layer of provolone cheese melts into the base, followed by your favorite premium toppings and another rich blanket of provolone for added depth and creaminess. A second layer of our famous dough seals in the flavors, creating the signature stuffed structure that defines this classic style. It’s crowned with a vibrant sauce crafted from California-ripened tomatoes and finished with a dusting of Pecorino Romano cheese. Baked slowly to golden perfection, this Chicago–style stuffed pizza emerges hearty, aromatic, and irresistibly satisfying — a true masterpiece of bold flavor and craftsmanship.

The newest addition to our lineup, the Crunchy Cheese Crust, a bold twist on tradition designed for those who crave texture as much as flavor.

          We begin with our time-honored house dough, crafted for the perfect balance of structure and tenderness. It’s layered with the sauce of your choice, then generously topped with our premium blend of mozzarella, provolone, and white cheddar cheeses. The magic happens at the edge: we carefully press the cheese all the way to the rim of the pan, allowing it to melt, bubble, and caramelize directly against the hot surface as it bakes.

          The result is a beautifully crisp, golden-brown cheese border that delivers an irresistible crunch with every bite, rich, savory, and packed with bold flavor. Inside, the cheese remains smooth and perfectly melted, creating a mouthwatering contrast of textures from the center to the edge.

          For guests who believe the crust should be just as exciting as the toppings, the Crunchy Cheese Crust is more than a pizza, it’s an experience.
