Tony’s is definitely not a newer spot and that’s a lot of why we like it. It’s a basic neighborhood pizza joint with solid (although not always consistent) offerings.
After some unpleasant customer service stuff (pre-Covid), we’d kinda forgotten about Tony’s when Bambino’s opened in Pasadena; now that Henry’s sold Bambino’s (any idea where he’s ended up, @ipsedixit?) and quality has dropped, we’ve gone back to Tony’s.
Anyway, we’ve been happy with the different vegetarian-friendly slices in addition to the whole pies. I like the “Italian Flag” slice and whole pie but often go with the white with added mushrooms, onions, and sometimes bell peppers and tomatoes.
It’s not a destination place, but it’s solid and good.
Thanks @ElsieDee ! Good to know. If we’re in the area visiting our friends in Pasadena, we’ll try and stop by. Your additional ingredients additions are some of my favorites as well, so I’m sure I’ll like it.
Like the geographic diversity, but still comes off as a promo piece
curious about “Secret Pie” but some of these places have recently also had full on stand alone promo pieces in the latimes…not saying the pie is bad but something is still fishy
Yes, and this place also has a large comfortable and nice space to eat and can accommodate many diners well, and is accessible and relatively affordable…no lining up, no 5 stools and 2 two tables, no top secret handoff and then take pizza home kinda deal… it’s not desano, tho they have a nice big spot too…these pizzas were in the pizza oven for 45 seconds.
