Antonious Pizza, 1546 Barton Road, Redlands CA 92373 (909) 335-0173

It's in a former Little Caesar's, what more can you say. Actually, it's more complex than that. In my quest-to-eat-at-every restaurant*, one of the provisions behind the asterisk was that I didn't have to eat in any restaurant that did not have at least one seat. This one, I can now attest, has zero. I had the lunch special, a one topping 8" pizza, a small salad, and a 32 ounce fountain drink for $5.38 including tax (even though it was take-out. Strike one!). I was third in line, and there was only one worker. She had to give someone two slices of pizza (they get, er, mad props for selling by the slice), and she had to make a sandwich for another man. It was about a fifteen minute wait. Not exactly fast food. My pepperoni (to compare pizza, I think you have to order pepperoni) pizza came with eight pieces of pepperoni. The sauce was used sparingly. The dough was limp, and at times, gave a slightly stale note. There was a lot of crust, and the taste of oregano in the sauce. My soda was a Cherry Pepsi with an OK mix -- nothing special. I'd probably equate the quality to Dahlia's. The salad was about two cups of iceberg lettuce, a quarter cup of cut bell pepper, 1/4 of a tomato, a tablespoon of cut, but not chopped, raw white onion, and maybe three sliced black olives. I chose Italian dressing; it came with a quarter cup on the side. During my wait, on those Little Caesar's hard benches, I stared at the "Lower Back tattoo" temporary tattoo machine offering butterflies for $.50.
