Dean Anthony’s Express (Boca Raton)

Posted on August 26th, 2009 · Boca Raton Italian Pizza

***** Dean Anthony’s Express, 1449 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 (561) 988-2202.

The folks in Boca Raton just-lucked out…let me explain.

Dean Anthony’s is a “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint which currently has 1 full- restaurant in Wellington and 1 full-restaurant in Boynton Beach. Two days ago…in a real-small Boca Raton strip center a Dean Anthony’s Express opened… which if you forget about a few window-counter seats, is a takeout-only joint.

Over the years, I must have eaten in the Dean Anthony’s restaurants at least 10 times…I rank these joints right up there with the “best” in the mom & pop South Florida Italian category. By the way, before the Jeff Eats’ website crashed a few years ago, there was a very favorable review on the full-restaurants. On my to do list, is a revisit for an updated “opinion”…

Last night, I tried Dean Anthony’s Express…the menu is loaded with appetizers, salads, pastas, sandwiches, chicken wings (something like 12 different sauces), entrees, pizzas… I did a plain pizza, penne alla vodka, chicken parmigiana, greek salad, garlic rolls, cheese calzone, chicken wings (honey garlic), meatballs-spaghetti…everything I “sampled” was real-good. Gourmet food? Now, let’s not play dopey here! This is a takeout red- sauce -joint, but I am telling you, that give or take a handful of restaurants, this Dean Anthony’s Express is as good as neighborhood takeout gets. One thing that I gotta single out here for special treatment, the pizza…plain old slice with sauce/cheese—one of the best slices I have had down here in South Florida…let’s call it a real NY slice.

As for prices…strictly neighborhood prices. 10 wings $7.99–Greek salad (enough for 2) $9.99–a large pizza goes for $13.99. You definitely won’t go broke ordering from this joint.

You folks in Boca Raton really lucked out…I am telling you, that the next time you want takeout, you want to give Dean Anthony’s a try.

The joint is open Monday-Sarurday 11am-9pm and Sunday 3pm-9pm.

    Jeff thanks for the info on this one. I work a few blocks from here and we had to order lunch in for a meeting. I suggested Dean Anthonys on your review and everyone loved it. Even the New Yorkers liked it.

    Picked up a large pie last night. Excellent pizza. Had never heard about Dean Anthnony’s before reading about it here.

    Jeff,

    I think we need to go and eat at this place together one day so I can see what I am missing here. I posted my review the other day and it was quite a different taste. This coupled with the Giovanni’s reviews makes me think we should get together and see what I am missing. Please email me and let me know the day you are free!

    I Agree This is the BEST PIZZA i ever had. The Grandma’s pie WOW it’s awesome. I think Lapp must of had a bad day. because this pizza is unbelievable and the wings Holy Sh*t i didn’t think a pizza joint can make such good wings. As far as the rest of the menu it’s going to be on my menu as long as i am in the area actually it’s worth the drive from Broward where i live

    Had the $20 special, large pie, 10 wings, ltr of Coke. What a great deal and what great food. The pizza was outstanding as were the Italian wings. Small pizza place with very few seats. Took food out. Will definitely be back.

    lapp: Found you through Jeff Eats. I enjoy your site but it is very confusing.
    Unlike Jeff, you seem to have a number of people doing the reviews. Can’t tell who is who or who knows what.
    On Dean Anthony’s pizza, if you think that it isn’t one of the best slices going, you really don’t know much about what a good slice is all about.

    One of the best slices that I have had since I moved to Boca Raton from Queens over 35 years ago. Don’t believe me, try it for yourself. Thin, crispy delicious sweet sauce. You can buy by the slice or a whole pie.
