Anthony’s Pizzeria Bio:
Anthony’s Pizzeria, a family owned restaurant, has been serving Simpsonville and Upstate S.C. for 20 years. The New York style pizza has been voted Best of the Upstate and receives high praise from many in the surrounding areas. Anthony and Chris Neglia opened the pizzeria in March of 1998 and have been faithfully serving the community ever since.
Most days, you can find Anthony tossing pizzas or mingling with the regulars. Chris has spent many of the 20 years raising their children and pitching in at the restaurant as needed. All three children have been helping out in the pizzeria since childhood and can often be found helping out during busy shifts and the Friday night rush. Anthony, Chris, and their family share a strong faith in God and love for the community.
The Anthony’s crew consists of many long-term employees who view themselves as part of the family. You can often hear them joke that once you work at Anthony’s, you always work at Anthony’s. The ongoing success of Anthony’s Pizzeria can be attributed to the dedication and hard work of the Neglias and the Anthony’s crew.♦
