Antonia's Pizzeria in Freeport, Maine

Antonia's is a casual, buzzing spot in downtown Freeport where the menu refuses to pick a lane. You'll find Greek-style pies like the Acropolis (chicken souvlaki, feta, kalamata olives) next to Italian classics, plus burgers, wraps, and apps like olive oil with pita. Regulars and RV travelers alike pack the bar and dining room, especially on weekends.

• Thick, crispy crust with fresh toppings and bright sauce
• Greek and Italian pies alongside burgers and wraps
• Large portions and reasonable prices
• Outdoor seating and full bar

Start with the olive oil and pita appetizer. The Acropolis pizza (chicken souvlaki, broccoli, feta, kalamata olives) is worth ordering, as is the house special pepperoni. The garden salad comes with a house dressing that actually tastes good. If you're not in a pizza mood, try the alfredo or minestrone soup. The crust alone will make you come back.

Bustling and loud, especially at the bar where laughter carries across the room. The bar and dining area fill quickly, and there's a constant flow of people in and out. It's casual and unpretentious.

The pizza crust sits in that sweet spot: airy and crisp, not thin but not heavy either. Toppings taste fresh, and the sauce has brightness to it. The Margherita is solid, as is the house special pepperoni pizza. But they're just as serious about the rest of the menu. The alfredo leans lighter and more authentic than what you'd expect at a casual bar and grill. Minestrone soup comes homemade.

Guests rave about the pizza crust and fresh toppings, especially on creative combos like the Acropolis. The alfredo draws praise for tasting lighter and more authentic than typical American versions. The menu's breadth keeps people coming back, from pita apps to minestrone to homemade marinara. One recent visitor called it "a fun atmosphere," though the bar can get noisy. The main complaint is inconsistent service during busy times, with understaffing occasionally leaving servers overwhelmed.
