Easily one of the best pizza's ive had outside of Naples itself. Despite some of the rewiews i have read, every time i have eaten here the food & staff were perfect. Dont change a thing guys, no matter how much those Unley snobs complain.....thats all their life revolves around. �
Antica is my Italian heaven. The menu is full of amazing Italian delights, but the pizzas are a dream. The hospitality & attentiveness of the staff is fantastic, & they always make me feel so welcome. I'm fussy & always want to add, or change something on the pizza or in the pasta dish! Staff have always accommodated my needs without hesitation. Antica is one of my fav restaurants - weekend dinners spent here are always a winner - keep up the good work guys �
Would highly recommend Antica! Absolutely delicious food! Especially the calamari! Cocktails at the bar are also a must!
My favourite resturant in Adelaide!! Always good friend staff and amazing food. Cant go wrong!!! Highly recommend!!!! :)
Seriously the best pizza I have ever had. The base was crispy and the eggplant was cooked to perfection. Definitely coming back! ���
Went here after I came back from Italy and the pizza made me feel like I was back there again. Great staff, innovative fit out ans reasonably priced. Highly recommend for authentic Italian flavours :)
Have eaten here a few times and never disappoints good is amazing and the staff are awesome will do everything to make sure you have a good experience! Highly recommended.
Awesome place awesome staff awesome food! 🍤 🔥❤️
Had a lovely birthday dinner at Antica last night. Staff were very accommodating to us as it was raining and helped us move tables even though they were fully booked. Our waitress was excellent and patient with us as we took a long time to order! Polenta chips, Arincini balls and a couple of real pizza's, to top it of with dessert pizza and Nutella calzone. Yum :) next time I'm hoping to try the 1 metre pizza!
Very cosy and comfortable restaurant. Staff are friendly and the pizza is so authentic and original and flavours are nice.
Excellent pizza, plenty of cheese! The Gnocchi Quattro Formaggi was sensational; perfect combination of fluffy and creamy. The rocket and pear salad was fresh and perfectly complimented the Gnocchi, would recommend these two together!
I enjoyed the food, wine and ambience at Antica. Service was alright. There was no kids menu so we ordered 2 plain pastas for 2 toddlers. The plain pasta was the portion and almost the price of a main pasta. We would have been better off ordering one plain and another main pasta. It took the staff a while to clear away the plates we were done with. I really liked the rocket, walnut and pear salad, gnocchi and mushroom pizza. I would recommend the place.
Great staff, always friendly and on point. Our waitress the night we had dinner went above and beyond. I could not have asked for a better evening.
After having greatly anticipated my visit to Antica, the night finally came. Upon arrival we were greeted by Fabio (who's hospitality that night was outstanding), we were then sat outside which was small but had a very homey feeling about it. The menu is presented well, working in hospitality and at an Italian restaurant myself it was quite easy reading through the menu however others without the knowledge might struggle. We ordered the 1 metre pizza with the toppings diavola, magherita and the special of the night which was mozzarella, fior Di latte cheese and prosciutto. Thin but wow it was full of flavour. Our pasta dishes came out shortly after the pizza, I ordered the spaghetti vongole and I couldn't fault it apart from me wanting more!! You can really taste the homemade fresh pasta, it was amazing! Highly recommend Antica!!! Everything hit the spot, 10/10 food and service.
Excellent food and great service! The pizza is a must have- genuine wood oven makes it one of the best pizza places in Adelaide! Great vibe, would definitely recommend!
Would give it a 3.7 if I could!!Pizza was delicious. Had the 1m pizza with a salad and two antipasto and it was enough for the 5 of us. Was a little bit disappointed with the price pf the antipasti and salads which were high for the small servings you got. Still prefer Sunny’s and Pizzateca as my best pizzas in Adelaide however this was almost up there too.
Great pizza and divine Nutella Panna cotta. We could have had a wonderful evening out if it weren't for the service and atmosphere. The guy at the front counter was cold (much like the interior, which was freezing with the door left open on a Winter night). Our waitress was warmer, but too desperate to interupt my dining buddy and I mid conversation, and clear plates immediately. I wouldn't have minded so much if the restaurant was packed and we had to be out to make way for another group. Antica's city eatery is nicer.
Came here on a Wednesday night and was surprised by how packed the restaurant was, all tables were full but the one which we took. Despite the busy night, service and food both came quickly. The pizza was a little overpriced for what you're given. It was good but not excellent. A nice chewy crust but base was too thin, a bit burnt and sauce was missing something. Garlic bread was tasty and generous. It was fun to be able to watch the pizzas being made as the kitchen is open, especially the famous 1 metre pizzas which looked very impressive being brought out by staff. Overall I enjoyed the experience and the pizza was fairly good, I would happily come here again.
Went there with a friend and got a pizza each to eat. Both cooked well and had a nice crusty and crunchy crust. They were so filling that we ended up sharing a Nutella Pana cotta and had a coffee each. Absolutely loved our meal
Just ate here on our last night in Adelaide and definitely the best meal of our five night stay. Food was authentic Italian and spot on, service from Serena and ambience exceptional also. Was recommended to eat here by a local and it topped our stay!! Definitely worth a visit.
Nice decor, friendly staff. We ordered the arancini balls and the diavola pizza. The arancini balls were spot on. The pizza was simple and delicious however the thin crust was a little soggy in the middle.

One of our go-to restaurants when we are looking for some yummy Italian food! the wood oven pizzas are amazing (they do a 1 meter pizza) and the pasta range is great too, my favorite is the baked gnocchi! highly recommended and the staff are great, I would suggest booking as it gets very busy!
Ordered a take-away pizza on a Saturday night in peak period and was ready within 15 minutes. Probably the best pizza crust I have had and gentleman on telephone was friendly. I feel a relationship blooming. Regards, Mr Prahat
Hands down best pizza in Adelaide! This place was buzzing on a Friday night, with bookings a must! Wow.... these pizzas had the most perfect crust, toppings were traditionally restrained but packed with flavour, cooked to perfection, indeed taking me back to Italy! Yummmm!
The best arancini balls ever! Great atmosphere and Love the food, pizzas can be a little thin at times but flavours are there and are beautiful :)
Dine here for the first time and we had the zuppa di cozze (mussels), gnocchi quattro formaggi, Margherita pizza. All the food was well good and tasted nice to me. The pizza may be bit bland for some people but I thought it was nice. Service was good and staff were friendly. Only bad point about this restaurant is that one of the cutlery was dirty.
It did get fairly busy later on the night so booking may be required. But overall everything was good and will dine here again.
We dined here on a Thursday evening. The pizza and pasta here was amazing! Keep up the good work. We will definitely be back for more :) Very handy to know that you also do take away as we have been struggling to find a good take away pizza place in the southern parts of Adelaide!
Poppie thoroughly enjoyed his pizza at Antica king William road. Poppie ordered the Quattro formaggio on a tomato sauce base plus casalinga salami. It was sublimely delicious. The punch of the blue cheese, the crunch of the crust cooked perfectly. Went down nicely with an Aperol spritz. Very good wood oven pizza and friendly service from the trendy Italian waitress 😀. Having said all that, poppies first visit when he ordered a calzone was shambolic. It was incredibly dry and needed a lot more sauce. Alas, thumb up, definitely worth an eat.

We attended Antica on a Friday evening with a group to celebrate Mr Sweet Teeth's birthday. It was a warm evening and dining outside made for lovely alfresco dining.
Since there was a group of us we opted to try the Gnocchi share platters and a couple of 1 metre pizzas. We were a little worried that perhaps this wouldn't be enough food but our helpful waiter reassured us it was.
The two Gnocchi platters we got were the Pesto & Macadamia and the traditional Napolatana. They were pretty big in size and everybody got a generous scoop of each. The gnocchi were soft and melted in your mouth but both sauces were lacking seasoning. Everyone on our table reached for the salt. Nonetheless they were quite enjoyable.
Next up were the pizzas that ran the whole length of the table. Although metre pizzas are a bit of a novelty, it's still quite exciting to see the big wooden boards being brought to the table.
With the choice of three different toppings per pizza, we got the chance to try 6 different types. Antica's pizza selections are quite traditional and there is the option of a tomato or white (minus the tomato sauce) base. My favourite was the Prawn and Zucchini pizza and for something different the egglplant parmigiana pizza (though there could've been a bit more eggplant.). The dough was puffy and chewy around the crusts and soft without being too soggy in the middle. Shamefully, I am yet to travel to Italy but have been told by those in the know that Antica's pizzas are pretty close to the real deal.
For dessert, and because the carbocide was not yet complete, we ordered the dessert pizza with Nutella and berries. This pizza was a delicious mess and did it's job of assuring every body had surely eaten enough.
Definitely a memorable birthday celebration!
I am italian and I can guarantee Antica produces the best and authentic pizza in South Australia. If you people are looking for a piece of Italy in Adelaide, you'll find it definitely in there.
Good place for families with kids
This is a gorgeous restaurant with very authentic Italian pizza (thin dough, not too much cheese). The pizza base was beautiful quality with a lovely crunchy crust and delicious sauce. Everything we ordered was excellent. I highly recommend the dessert pizzas, especially if you're in a big group! We got the Nutella and berry ones, which were insanely good. Most of the mains cost about $25-$35 not including drinks or sides, so it's pretty pricey. But it's worth it for the quality of the food, the atmosphere and the wonderful service. If you're okay with spending around $40-$50 for dinner, I'd definitely recommend this place!
I truly have no idea why I haven't written about this place sooner. We've been there a good few times, went there on my birthday last year and even stopped in late sometimes just for dessert. Because we felt like it. Antica Pizzeria on King William Road is easily one of my favourite overall pizza restaurants. Whether it's alfresco dining on a warm night, or inside watching the chefs do their thing, I've always loved coming here.
Good wholesome flavours in pizza. Rest of the menu was a bit bland & lacking 1) moisture and 2) seasoning.
Great décor, cool vibe. Bit pricey for what it was.
Went here for lunch for a family function. Interior was lovely and staff were welcoming. We started with some entrées to share. The burrata, prosciutto, rocket and semi-dried tomato dish was absolutely beautiful- fresh ingredients and they really shone, the perfect way to start a meal. We also had the polenta chips and arancini which were also lovely. On to the pizzas for main! The bases were thin, just as they should be and covered with generous toppings. Tidying up some of the waiting would make for an even better experience, but a lovely day out nonetheless.

Antica is a traditional Napoletana pizzeria and Italian restaurant. It's a great place to grab some simple, familiar comfort food with family or friends.
If you've read any of my other reviews of pizzerias you will know how passionate I am about the topic. Antica do a great job of recreating the glory that is a traditional Napoletana pizza, however, for those like myself that are constantly searching for the closest thing to Napoli - there are better.
Food:
On our most recent visit we tried the special fettucine bolognese. The pasta was homemade and really, really nice - only seconds away from being 'al dente'. The bolognese sauce however was lacking a little bit of depth - perhaps needing to be left to develop for a little bit longer. Probably could have used a little more mince meat for flavour and texture too.
As for the pizza - it's great. I had a margherita with buffalo mozzarella because that's what a pizza should be. The highlight here is the sauce - the tomatoes are really tasty. The dough is cooked well in the oven, nice and fluffy with a few beautiful charred spots, however the dough itself is lacking in a little bit of flavour and could probably be stretched a little thinner. Perhaps just a touch more salt, or more resting time required. The buffalo mozzarella is a good quality but was torn into chunks that are slightly too large - which means you don't get that delicious melted tomato/cheese soupy run-off in the middle. Don't get me wrong though, it's still a really delicious pizza. I am only critical because I love pizza so much!
We also had the pear and walnut salad which was nice, but was a little smaller than expected for the price.
Service:
The staff were friendly enough. One of the waitresses was a little pushy and blunt but that's not something that's uncommon in Italy.
Ambience:
Antica has a nice warmth to it thanks to the wood oven. The decor is nice and there's plenty of outdoor seating too which is great for the warmer months.
Dish to look out for:
Obviously Margherita with buffalo mozzarella!

Absolutely the best pizzas in Adelaide. After having experienced great traditional pizzas in Italy, we were struggling to find a pizzeria to offer the same quality pizzas. But alas, we have found it.
Thin, light base accompanied by beautiful produce and cooked in a wood oven. Many places offer similar style pizzas but the pizzas at Antica seem more rustic, more homely. Toppings are kept to traditional styles (no tandoori chicken pizzas here) but the Margarita pizza is still a standout along with the quattro formaggio, diavola and the salsiccia.
DO NOT FORGET ABOUT DESSERT. I don't strongly recommend this enough. For lovers of Nutella, you may rejoice, a Nutella calzone and a dessert pizza is to die for.
They also offer BYO to bring your own bottle of a nice red Italian wine if you wish or they have a great (small, but still great) selection of wines.
And best of all the staff was absolutely superb. Very accommodating with that casual feel.
All in all Antica has become my favourite pizza joint in Adelaide.

This outting was a gathering of 15 friends in this restaurant.
The service of the staff were superb and the evening went off with a bang.
The food was more or less delivered at the same time considering the group size we were in quality of the food was first class and it was reasonably priced which was impressive considering the area we were in.
Would definitely return! Perhaps in a more intimate group though.
Try a metre long dessert pizza with Nutella filled crust.... I dare u!
We went there for dinner one night and were seated outside with large heaters surrounding us. It was a lovely night which set the scene beautifully. We ordered the metre long pizza which was just amazing. We felt as if we were in Tuscany enjoying pizza al fresco style. The service was good too. We are going back to try the metre long dessert pizza next.
Best pizza in Adelaide!. Best pizza in Adelaide , we had the margherita and the funghi , even better than most places in Italy i would say , having been to Italy a few times. Keep it up the good Work guys!
Great pizza, magnificent Italian base.
Friendly staff and nice ambience .
Keep those beautiful pizzas coming!!

Best Pizza in Adelaide. Love this place... by far the best pizza in Adelaide. Traditional Italian thin thin base with only a few toppings. For those that comment on the 'soggy' or 'thin' base..... go back to Dominoes where you can get your fat fluffy dry pizza base.
My husband can not get enough, it's our regular lunch go to destination
Oh and the desserts are to die for, especially the Nutella calzone, they certainly don't hold back on the Nutella goodness.. YUM! Before and after pic of my latest Nutella calzone has been added to photos
Delicious traditional pizza. With italian heritage and family from Napoli, I can honestly say that the pizza from Antica is just as delicious as it is over there. The base is perfect, I love that it needs to be folded up to be eaten and the Margherita can not be turned down. I have visit on several occasions and I'm on my way there again now.
Loved it.. Stopped in for coffee and dessert this afternoon. Amazing coffee and the best tiramisu I have ever had! Very friendly staff. Will definitely come back and try the pizza.
This is THE BEST PIZZA IN ADELAIDE. Some people in Adelaide are just stupid and don't appreciate proper Italian food. You will only find authentic Neapolitan food here.

Went in for dinner last night without a reservation. They were happy to sit 6 of us outside with heaters which we were more than happy to do. We were a little undecided on what to order as everything sounded delicious. Upon asking the waiter for his recommendation he rudely let us know the popular dishes. Heaven forbid we ask another question!! For entree we ordered arincini and a selection of cold meats and roasted veg. The rice balls were beautiful, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Had a beautiful stretchy cheese in the middle and lapped with a delicious tomato sauce on top. Very nice! Unfortunately for the cold meat platter being almost $30 we thought we would get more of a selection. 3 horribly thick pieces of mortadella, fatty pancetta, two slices of cheese, some olives and and overly garlic roasted veg. Tad disappointed there. For mains we were looking for gluten free and the waiter assured us they made gluten free pizzas. In terms of the base, top notch guys! It wasn't dry or grainy or like some places- like cardboard. It was beautifully crisp with the perfect amount of chew. The prosciutto and rocket pizza was by far my favourite. The saltiness of prosciutto combined with the pepperiness of the rocket and sweetness of the cheese. This was a huge hit! Great little addition was the E.V.O they had on the tables for us to pour over our fresh pizza. Instantly lifted the flavours. Great pizza! Second pizza was the vegetariana pizza. I found some of the veg undercooked, I'm usually all for undercooked veg but found on the pizza it didn't work. It was beautifully flavoured. Had the right amount of seasoning, just a shame about those undercooked veg. Lastly we had margarita. Pleasantly surprised it wasn't a traditional Australian margarita with sliced tomato. Instead beautiful sauce with a few fior di latte pieces. As a whole think it lacked a bit of flavour. Some fresh basil and drizzle of oil would have really lifted the simple flavours. Immediately after dinner we were asked if we wanted dessert. There was no rest. No break they clearly wanted us out fast! We asked for a little break to digest and according to the waiter it was a little much to ask for. He was Not happy. For dessert we had ordered a Nutella pana cotta and a mascarpone mixed berry pizza with Nutella stuffed crust. Being a Nutella freak had high expectations. The Nutella pana cotta was smooth and nutellary. Very nice along with the biscotti. As for the pizza it was nothing special. Just as the menu describes pizza with mascarpone, berries and Nutella stuffed in the crust. Tad undercooked in areas was no wow factor. Overall, the food was good, fresh and tasty. Just a pitty about the poor service. Seemed as though all the happy waiters were inside and the poor diners outside got mr grumpy pants. Sort him out and I'll be back again!!
Amazing!. Amazing traditional italian pizza! staff were lovely and engaged in conversation with my family and i all night! the buffalo mozzarella was delicious! to the people who write reviews with "not enough topping" THIS is traditional italian pizza before western society ruined it! the nutella calzone was to die for! love love love
Meant to write a review a few weeks ago but was reminded to when I went back. Decided to go last minute and was booked out but the staff were very graceful about it. Very sad to miss out after my perfect pizza last time! Absolutely incredible margeurita with added buffalo mozzarella,simple but delicious and a generous size that spilled off the plate,great service from some lovely Italian girls and a warm atmosphere with beautiful decor,despite being full last night I will head back and be sure to book first!

Awesome !!. Best pizza I've had in ages !! This place will go a long way.. my mate had pasta and that was delicious too .. def coming back !
Popped in for a quick Sunday night meal and was transported back to Italian for an hour. Service was brilliant, pasta al dente as it should be and pizzas delicious. You want inches of topping try Pizza Hut. All meat freshly sliced paper thin and bases full of flavour. Aguri and we wish you all the success, You deserve it
Love Antica pizza. Had a Boscaiola & Margherita today. If you know pizza you know this is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Beautiful crust & not over crowded with toppings . Delicious and love the beers & decor. If you want pineapple on your pizza or a "meat lovers" with BBQ sauce go somewhere else
Nice place. Funny how everyone is Italian and it is like they have just docked off the boat into Adelaide!! Food was great, service was honest. Set up was smart too.
Fantastic. I was in Napoli last February to watch some good Soccer while I was there I frequented quite a few Pizza Bars, They were great, Antica matches the best of all the ones we visited. I have been back to Antica 5 times and they have never failed to deliver great meals, great service and the staff were all friendly and knew their products I give them a rating of 10 out of 10 and I am going back wednesday
This is EXACTLY how the pizza in Naples is. I read the other reviews and the ones that knock it just don't get it. This is pizza the italian way! Unfortunately we've been brainwashed into thinking that loading up a fat base with so many toppings that you can't tell what your eating is "real pizza"- don't think so. Pizza is fantastic, fit out awsome and real Italians serving you! If you don't like it stick to the crap Pizza Hut or dominosis serving!
Loved the antipasti degustazione mista. Pizza very traditional and yummy.... Loved the look of the restaurant!
Best wood oven pizza in town, authentic and beautifully made! Defiantly worth a visit. Staff brilliant
Love it.... Best new restaurant to open on King William Rd in a long time. Beautiful fit out. They've made great use of the prime location with outdoor seating right in the street. I love the atmosphere of the place, and the wood oven is incredible! And most importantly they deliver on service and food! Definitely coming back soon, can't wait to try the dessert calzone!
We were a group of 7 and the booking process was easy. Antica Pizzeria E Cucina is very popular so booking are essential. The service was prompt and friendly but an earlier reminder that our table was re-booked after our session would have been useful as we were busy catching up rather than focussing on the menu. The food was all delicious and we really enjoyed our meal. Definitely ask for extra truffle cream to dip your pizza crusts in!
Nice spot for any meal. Liked the variety of vegetarian & vegan options on the menu. Staff is courteous and helpful.
Absolutely beautiful. The food was amazing, tasted just like nonnas. The service was great as well. Will be coming back!
Takeaway pizzas from @anticapizzeria: great selection and great tasting pizzas 😍😍. Crust was soft and fairly thin, and the toppings were excellent. Can't complain!
Absolutely loved the food but the customer service from the staff was a little offensive. Both staff huffed when we asked if we could get lunch when there was no one in the restaurant and from then on the waitress was short, abrasive and uncourteous. Not at all what you expect in Hyde Park and sad given the food was amazing.
I like the pizzas. The base is fluffy, thin and has some chewy bite. The pizzas also have a good amount of toppings. Among the ones we ordered, I would recommend the Diablo, Margherita and 3 Cheese. The prawns on the Gamberi weren't generous. The seafood gnocchi was on the salty side and the gnocchi wasn't pan fried for extra bite. Tiramisu was great but skip panacotta (it's not jellied like other pannacottas I've had and tasted way more like mousse or cream, pistachio flavour was weak). The rocket, pear and Parmesan salad was a nice side to add to your meal. It was really noisy inside so we were glad to eat outside.
Table service was great for such a busy place. Our pizzas, pastas & wine was fabulous. Cocktails and desserts limited but also great.
We dined inside on this occasion and unfortunately the noise level was horrendous, couldn’t hear ourselves amongst the fully booked restaurant, spent half the night trying to lip read amongst our table.
Staff were quick to clean table and pack takeaway pizzas for us at end of dining.
