Craving Hand Tossed Pizza Near You?

If you crave a classic NY style pizza, Tony’s Pizza is the answer. Our hand tossed pizza offers a unique texture and flavor, thanks to our time-honored techniques. We make every pizza to order, ensuring you enjoy a hot, fresh meal every time you visit. Each bite delivers the perfect balance of crispy, chewy crust, tangy sauce, and melted cheese.

The Art of Hand Tossing Pizza Dough

Hand tossing pizza dough is a foundational step in making NY style pizza. This process involves stretching the dough by hand, which keeps the gas bubbles formed during fermentation. As a result, you get an airy pizza crust and a thin, foldable slice. Here is how our pizza makers achieve the perfect crust:

  1. Allow dough to reach room temperature for ideal elasticity.
  2. Dust the dough with flour to prevent sticking.
  3. Shape the dough with your hands, pressing a groove around the edge.
  4. Gently rotate and spin the dough in the air.
  5. Continue tossing until the dough reaches the desired thinness.

This careful method gives Tony’s Pizza its signature thin crust and delicious texture.

What Makes Our Dough Different?

Many pizza chains use dough made at a central facility. This approach ensures uniformity but can compromise freshness and flavor. At Tony’s Pizza, we prepare our dough on-site daily. By controlling fermentation times, we craft dough that develops complex flavors and a light, airy texture. Cold fermentation over several days enhances both taste and texture, resulting in a superior pizza crust.
