Pizzeria Antica

I feel so lucky that in Champaign IL there is an authentic italian nepolitan pizza. The coputo 00 flour, 48 hour rise times, 850-900 F ovens, mozzarella directly from italy, fresh dough with the perfect pull texture that tells me they used a W 55 hydration and they import their gelato... this place has the recipe dialed in and tastes exactly like what I had in Italy. The gelato is especially good, because it is sweet and enjoyable without the sugar crash of american icecream or gelato.

I came here 3 times, each time has been great! Foods great and consistent, servers are very kind, and overall the best pizza I have ever had! Definitely come here won’t disappoint!

As always, this place never disappoints! I got a Bianca with pepperoni and it was phenomenal! The server was very patient as he seemed to be the only server waiting a bunch of tables. Very professional staff and comforting atmosphere. The salted caramel gelato was delicious! 10/10, I will definitely be coming back again!

Stopped for a late lunch on a Saturday. Pleasant atmosphere, very friendly hard working gentlemen took our order & prepared our pizzas. We had 2, a margarita and a pepperoni. Love the crust, such tasty & light pizza. Not a sloppy saucy pizza.

Went here with my friends and had an aamzing experience.

The staff was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was phenomenal and to top it all off, the ingredients used for the pizza were outstanding with good variety of pizzas to choose from.

I would highly recommend going here for gourmet pizza!

Fantastic pizza/pasta/salad place for a great dine in experience! Service was swift and staffs were super nice. The lamb chimichuri pizza is a must try (one of the attached pics). Reasonable (~$18 for a speciality pizza) pricing. ‘Will visit again!

Look no further for the ultimate gelato and authentic Italian pizza experience, as this place takes the cake! It's a true gem that not only caters to pizza enthusiasts but also offers a rare find: vegan pizza! As a vegan myself, I'm thrilled to discover a spot that goes the extra mile to provide plant-based options. The sauce and pizza crust are absolute winners, showcasing the skill and attention to detail that goes into their culinary creations. While I would personally love to see an expanded selection of vegan pizza choices, I'm genuinely grateful for the presence of at least one delicious option. In summary, this restaurant truly excels in delivering a top-notch dining experience with its delectable pizza, delightful gelato, and commendable commitment to accommodating different dietary preferences.

Delicious handmade gourmet pizza. Love the pepperoni, Bianca, and Margarita Especial. Hard to choose-go with friends so you can trade bites! New cocktails -Aprerol Spritz or Negroni-are great for sunny days, or for rainy cold ones. Warm, fun place.

Highly recommend for a Friday night! Lively atmosphere while still allowing everyone to be able to talk/hear each other! The food is phenomenal - especially the Bianca pizza & vanilla bean gelato!

The best part about this place was breezily the atmosphere. Felt as though it had been pulled out of a small local pizza place in Chicago. The fire pizza was 🔥🔥. We also got some of the San Pelegríno and gelato and tasted very authentic. They import all of their ingredients to make it as authentic as possible. Great little hole in the wall restraunts would recommend.

Awesome food and great service. One of the best if not the best pizza places in CU

Hands down the best pizza place in down! Has become our family's favorite place to eat. We love the neapolitan style! Always attentive service too!

Easiest my favorite pizza place in C-U area! We came here on a weekend's night, it was quite busy! And they were short on staff too, so we waited for awhile to get the orders in. However, the food was definitely worth the patience. The crust was chewy and the flavor was so pure and refreshing. Don't forget to get gelato for dessert. Highly recommended the salty caramel and strawberry flavor!

Good-excellent pizza that's different than anything else I have had locally. Also tasty Gelato.

Outstanding pizza 🍕. Made to order in your favorite style. Moderately priced and our waitress gave us awesome service.

I'm glad I finally got around to trying this place. The food came out quickly and tasted great! The kitchen staff were excellent and you could see them cleaning surfaces to prevent cross contamination, etc.

Loved the pizza! Staff was friendly , building was very clean. I would highly recommend, pizza is well worth it.

The pizza is great and is worth the money! The service is very nice! Worth the time!

Great pizza in the Neoplitan style. Don't skip the gelato after!
