Tony’s Italian Pizzeria and Restaurant

This was our 2nd time here. The first time was nice, and we enjoyed the food and service. We are looking for a "go to" place that wasn't too far away and we were hoping this might be the one even though it is a distance from us. So, our dinners were good, and the waitress was very very nice. But my wife asked for a little extra sauce which they supplied in a small container. When I received the bill, I was shocked to see that they charged us eight bucks for that wee bit of sauce. The item on our bill listed as 8 OZ. Now, I've never in my entire life been charged for a little extra sauce. Never. So, I get it. They are cheap and charged us. In fact, they should have said to us flat out that it would be an extra charge. Whatever. However, the container is a four-ounce container. It even said it on the bottom. I was charged for eight ounces. I complained and management would not remove the charge. So, I finally demanded the remaining four ounces be given to us. After waiting several minutes, it became obvious that they had no intention of rushing to make things at least somewhat fair. We left, never to return again. It's one thing to have a problem with the food. Maybe a wrong order once in a while. But to flat out lie and cheat a customer is nothing short of insulting. And I'm not cheap. The prices here are generally higher than other places but I don't care as long as it's a good meal with good service. And I usually tip REALLY well. But to be so petty as to lie??? I obviously cannot trust a liar. And I cannot endorse a restaurant that cheats its customers and then doubles down on the lie.

A very pedestrian looking place and name from the outside. Off the main road. I stopped in here some months ago for a quick slice as I was doing some business in the area. The slice was very good, and I took a quick peek at the dining room. Looked inviting.
So, my wife and I decided to give the place a try for dinner. I love BYOBs so that was big.
The dining room is spacious yet cozy. The staff is friendly and helpful. We started with salads that were really, really good. a nice mix instead of a simple side salad. For our entrees, I tried the chicken francaise and my wife had the chicken parm. Both were really yummy and tender. A decent amount of lemon flavor for me and my wife enjoyed the sauce (she requested marinara) which wasn't sweet (a good thing) and had nice chunks of tomato. All in all, a good dining experience.
The music was this kinda world stuff, but ok. I prefer some Dean martin and Frank Sinatra, or even some Italian style dining music, but I'm splitting hairs.
We will be back as we really enjoyed this place. Oh....and we got left-overs for tonight!

Came in tonight with my 3 younger kids (4 year old twins and a 2 year old)

After we were sat one of the waitresses brought a menu and asked if the kids needed them. I said no, we just wanted a large plain pizza and that was it.

We sat there for 35 mins. No one ever came back to the table. One of the other waitresses came over and asked if anyone had taken our order. I explained the above and she went to check. The order never went in. I told her we were going to go somewhere else, and we left.

I went to the take out area to tell who I assumed was the manager what happened. He was nice, and apologized but made no effort to make it right.

We usually order pizza from here once every two weeks or so - that’s the end of that.

Good food and nice folks. Very busy when we went to pick up our food but they moved things along. It is now July. Food is still very good. Prices do not seem to have changed. Worth a visit.

Was disappointed with the eggplant entree. I asked for a vegetable instead of pasta, I received a big bowl of broccoli which was way too much for a side for one person. I only ate a small portion and left the rest. When the bill came, I was charged extra for the broccoli which I was never told there would be a surcharge when I first requested a vegetable instead of pasta. The owner came over and did not offer to comp the broccoli. Just said it’s due to inflation.

Prices are ridiculous. Charge $3.45 for a 20 oz. soda and fees for using a card.
