AMAZING PIZZA Excellent. Can't find better pizza anywhere to match their Chicago Style Deep Dish. Recommend: Pepperoni, Zucchini, and Onion with Spinach. Sauce is superb.
Wish they would ship nationwide. We miss you here in Phoenix, AZ.
Worth the wait. [02 Nov 2004 15:21:06]

Gourmet Pie Like No Other! (A true story from last winter)
A wonderful and tragic thing happened to me a few months ago. On a trip to Ann Arbor, I accidently tasted a slice of a medium gourmet with mushrooms, black olives and yellow peppers. At first, I thought nothing of it. Hey, it's just pizza right? What's the big deal? Now I understand why my friends begged me not to indulge. Sure, I admint it - it was good. Ok, yes, I moaned a little bit with each bite and I began to chew with my eyes closed. I just figured that was some sort of Ann Arbor thing. I wanted to fit in so I surrendered to the energy of those oh so carefully balanced peppers; I went along for the ride. The tragic part of this story was returning to my frozen homeland to realize I was all alone. No Anthony's, no delivery - no more pizza worth moaning about. "My God, this may as well be some fashionable suburb in Moscow." I knew right then and there, I was screwed but good - pasties were not going to cut it. This is the part that still has me freaking out. Last night, 325 miles (that's one way) north of Ann Arbor, a full six hours after it left the oven, I was able to reunite my tastebuds with a few slices of pure Gourmet perfection. Two regulars from Anthony's had heard my cry for help and drove non-stop in a noisy car, through blowing snow, over the Yugo-sucking bridge to meet me at a remote gas station in the middle of nowhere. Within one minute after their arrival at the dark and snowy party store outpost, the box containing the pie was carefully removed from the trunk and slowly opened the once-steaming cardboard jewel case. We all climbed into the car, delicately removed our slices in preparation for what was to be a first for all of us. Oh yeah, it was just as I had remembered. Heads tilted, eyes closed and plenty of primal moaning. Perhaps the long wait had made the fruit that much sweeter. Even though the pie was nearly frozen, it didn't detract at all from the total flavor explosion that left me weak in the knees. We knew no one had ever waited six hours and gone 325 miles to consume a fresh Anthony's Gourmet. This was NOT some crazy publicity stunt and it certainly wasn't intended as a test of mental toughness of the two extraordinarily thoughtful delivery guys. This was about three people doing what it took to get together to enjoy a pie that has no equal. [11 Apr 2005 12:02:43]

Gourmet is Incredible Had an Anthony's Gourmet when I was visiting Ann Arbor last month. That what THE BEST pizza I've ever had in my entire life.
I have lived in 10 different major cities and have never been so impressed with a pizza pie... and I've been with many pies!
Yes it takes longer. Yes, it costs more. Is great food fast? Is great food cheap?
If I ever need an excuse to return to Ann Arbor, Anthony's Gourmet Pizza will be it. [03 Aug 2005 21:01:42]

Ann Arbor's best kept secret! Best pizza I've ever had, anywhere!!! I swear this is the best pie I've ever had. I'm talking about the Chicago style stuffed. Although everything they do is GREAT - the Chicago style stuffed is TRANSCENDENT, better than any pizza I have ever had in Chicago or New York (or Italy) for that matter.
My special pie: Chicago stuffed with pepperoni, spinach and black olive. Their spinach is fresh and high quality, and maybe lightly sauteed in olive oil, and the pepperoni has just the right amount of kick to it. Pie with personality, a sauce to die for, never greasy, never a dissapointment, and the best food value I think I've ever had, anywhere.
Lived outside of Ann Arbor (in NYC, in fact) and when I learned I was moving back here, the first thing my wife and I said was "Anthony's!!" - no joke. It's just that good, and I am happily waiting for my next pie to be delivered in about 45 mins. Try the Chicago stuffed--you won't be disappointed! [28 May 2006 17:38:38]

Best Pie in Ann Arbor! They use quality ingredients and lots of them. The sauce they use is to die for. They'd make a killing selling it by the jar. I'd slather it on just about anything.
The Chicago Stuffed is a monster of a pie.
I'm getting flashbacks of last night eating one right now. [16 Oct 2006 14:13:41]

Best in the town, by far! I tried a chicago style with green olives, Italian sausage, and mushrooms. It was EASILY the best pizza I have ever had. Trust me, if you are alive, have a stomach, and aren't lactose intolerant, you will never eat a better pizza than at this place. [08 Sep 2007 10:16:45]

This former Chicagoan loves Anthony's I lived in Chicago for 35 years, and of course ate hundreds of pizzas from dozens of places there. When I moved to Ann Arbor, I felt lost for a couple of years, finding nothing here to compare to the great pizzas I'd grown accustomed to...until that life-changing day that I finally discovered Anthony's! Ted, you are my #1 pizza man--an artist and magician. [15 Mar 2008 13:48:08]
