What Makes Tony’s Pizza the Best Restaurant in Town

Next, you probably want to know why we think we’re the perfect choice for authentic Italian nearby. Instead of tooting our own horn, we’re going to leave it to our customers! They’re great at showing us the love in their 5-star reviews.

“I ordered takeout from Tony’s on my very first visit and my experience was excellent. I was greeted immediately upon entering. As I took in all of the menu items and considered what to order, I noticed a genuine exchange between employees and customers as they were leaving. One customer gave them a compliment, saying that he was from New York and as far as pizza goes, they were able to compete with what he was used to from there. Wow.

What brought me in was a craving for garlic knots so I decided to get the garlic cheese bread. And despite feeling drawn toward a pizza at first, I settled on an eggplant parm sub since the employee taking my order claimed that it was very good. He seemed trustworthy. At the last minute, I threw in a cannoli because it’s my boyfriend’s favorite dessert.

I don’t have too many thoughts on the restaurant environment itself aside from there being a large dining room with plenty of tables. Nothing fancy but…

You don’t need fancy when the food is this good! The eggplant parm sub was excellent and I am very picky about my eggplant parm. It wasn’t overly breaded or fried. This will be without a doubt my go-to spot for this sandwich. I decided to order the large and I’m glad I did. Half was enough for one meal and I happily embrace leftovers.

The garlic cheese bread was 10/10 and as for the cannoli, it did not disappoint. It was one of the best cannolis we have ever had.” – Kat M.

Limoncello is a lemon liqueur made from lemon zest. Generally, it hails from Southern Italy and many Italians drink it chilled. Mascarpone, is a sort of soft cream cheese made with heavy cream instead of whole milk (like cream cheese).
