Master Critic Review
Antioch Pizza
7.5
A newer Norwood Park pizza counter that’s getting early traction for thin-crust pies—especially when ordered well-done for extra crisp. With limited review volume, it’s best treated as a “try it” spot for locals looking for a fresh option rather than a proven destination.
