The Scene I've really tried to like Tony's. My family and I…read morehave visited at least five times over the past three years, hoping each visit would be the one that changed our minds. The restaurant itself is fairly basic, but one thing that has always stood out is the parking situation. There are only a handful of spots near the entrance, including a single handicap space, which can make pickup inconvenient. My first visit set a less-than-great tone. I ordered online and pulled into the drive-thru line, assuming I could pick up my order there. When I reached the window, I was told - rather emphatically - that online orders had to be picked up inside. As a mobility-impaired veteran, having to park in the back, walk through the rain, and retrieve a to-go order wasn't exactly the welcome I was hoping for. The Eats Unfortunately, the food has been inconsistent across our visits. The first pizza we ordered had an extremely thin crust that ended up soggy in the middle. On another visit, we tried the appetizer sampler and pizza. The pizza was actually much better that time, but the appetizers were overcooked. The mozzarella sticks, in particular, had reached the point where the cheese inside had become rubbery and dried out. Today, we stopped in for lunch and ordered a shrimp po'boy and lasagna. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the po'boy and had no complaints. My lasagna, however, was a struggle. The sauce was sparse, leaving the dish tasting mostly like heavily seasoned meat and cheese. After a few bites, I couldn't continue. Everyone's taste buds are different, but the balance of flavors just didn't work for me. The Service Service has been hit-or-miss over the years. We've had some perfectly fine interactions, but that first pickup experience has always stuck with me. A little flexibility - or at least a friendlier explanation - would have gone a long way. Parting Thoughts After multiple visits over several years, I think it's finally time for me to accept that Tony's just isn't my place. That's not to say others won't enjoy it - clearly they have a loyal following - but the inconsistency in the food and some less-than-memorable service experiences have kept us from becoming regulars. My husband would probably order the shrimp po'boy again, but for me, this was my last attempt. Sometimes a restaurant and a customer just aren't the right match.

Tony's Pizza in Lake Charles, La. is a must when you visit!…read more We always stop by! Best po boys, pizzas, etc. Great service, excellent food, and adorable Italian decor! Love the ambiance. I've always loved their side salad - really all of them, and it's normally a favorite of everyone's until recently. They have replaced their yummy iceberg mix lettuce with the darkest green leaves and everyone I know doesn't like it. I truly hope they go back because we are all saying no more salads from Tonys!
