The Pizza Experience
We ordered a New York-style cheese pizza and a gluten-free cheese pizza, each with its own merits.
New York-Style Cheese Pizza
Anthony’s Pizzeria Montrose NY pizza featured a soft, foldable crust that was doughy and chewy, baked on the lighter side. While I prefer a slightly more baked crust without a gum line, I understand this is how many locals enjoy their pizza. The sauce had a smooth texture with subtle tomato flavor, balanced by moderate Italian seasoning and garlic notes. Topped with quality mozzarella that melted beautifully, the pizza was consistent with some of the better options in the county.
Gluten-Free Cheese Pizza
The gluten-free version shared the same flavorful sauce and mozzarella, with slight adjustments in proportions to accommodate the thinner crust. The shell was also lightly baked in the center, with the sauce’s seasonings taking center stage. It’s a solid option for anyone needing a gluten-free alternative.

Beyond Pizza: Salads, Wings, and Dessert
Garden Salad with Grilled Chicken
The salad was fresh, generously portioned, and topped with tender, marinated grilled chicken. What truly stood out was their house-made Italian dressing—bursting with flavor and easily the highlight of our meal.
Barbecue Chicken Wings
The wings were large, perfectly crispy, and coated in a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce. They delivered on both flavor and texture, making them a great addition to our meal.
Cannoli
For dessert, the freshly prepared cannoli was a delightful treat. Its crisp and flaky shell was filled with a creamy, not-too-sweet filling accented by mini chocolate chips, making for a satisfying finish.
