Antonio's Pizza is located on Thayer Street near the Brown campus. They are known for their unusual slice offerings, such as black bean taco, avocado quesadilla and chicken pesto tortellini. Unfortunately, their basic pie offerings leave much to be desired. The cheese is shoddy, the sauce is lousy and the crust is unacceptably chewy. Anybody in search of high quality conventional pizza should walk the extra block to Via Via IV, which is just around the corner on Meeting Street. Indeed, comparing each restaurant's white slice is particularly instructive. The Via Via slice is a marvel, beautifully crafted and uncommonly delicious. The Antonio's variety, on the other hand, tastes cheap and unfulfilling by comparison. If you prefer pizza topped (tarnished, in this writer's opinion) with tortilla chips or avocado, Antonio's may be what you're looking for. And to its credit, the restaurant offers the increasingly rare Sicilian slice. But at the end of the day, the quality of its pie fails to impress. Three Stars

Providence Pizza News: Easter Hours
Many Providence pizzerias were closed for Easter Sunday today, including Fellini, Minerva, Nice Slice, Sicilia's, Tommy's and Xtreme Pizza & Wings. Fortunately, some places remained open. If you're looking for pizza this evening, try Antonio's, Doyle Avenue, Pizza Pie-er or the delicious Via Via IV. Of course, this is an incomplete list. What else was open today?
