Pizza is one of my top favorite foods and Tony's makes a darn good pie. And they are consistently good, never had a bad slice or whole pizza. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. I have noticed a lot of Delaware's finest places to eat are in strip malls and odd spots. Tony's is no different, it's tucked behind Taco Bell and next to a shop rite. If I lived closer I'd eat there every week. read more

Bring your appetite! Tony's food is excellent with large portions. I go there for their Chicken Marsala. My wife loves the lobster ravioli. The tomato pie is one of the best around. Staff is always pleasant and eager to serve. read more

Okay, so this was an unexpected surprise. We wanted authentic East coast pizza. We didn't expect it to be great...we were warned the "best" was in Philly but that Tony's was "ok". Well, we thought it was fantastic! read more

Really enjoyed the pizza, salad and service when I had an order delivered to my hotel during a recent stay at the Embassy Suited in Newark, DE! Thanks, Tony's! read more

This will be shorter than most of my reviews, because we have only hit the Bistro once., and that was only for pizza. We love the original Tony's Cafe, a tiny place with no parking on Paper Mill Road north of Newark. We were excited to hear that they had opened a satellite location south of the city of Newark, so one afternoon after a busy Saturday, son and I hit them for slices of pizza. My one complaint is that the crappy dollar store paper plates can not possibly hold the huge slices of authentic New York style thin crust pizza. We tried several combinations, including white pizza. We're they any good? Thirty minutes later we were heading home with the whole pie we decided to get for dinner. Does that answer the question? Next time we try the tomato pie. It's amazing at the Cafe and we hope the Bistro's is just as good. read more

As we were traveling we stumbled upon this authentic Italian restaurant. Don't be fooled by the old pizzeria style decor and atmosphere. Blown away is an understatement! So good so fresh! My husband and myself were very happy with our little treasure that we found. Clams, caprese salad, tortellini mushroom and sausage, shrimp diavalo. read more

I order from here often and usually get pizza which is always good. I have had some really good dinners and cheesesteaks from their as well, but the best part about Tony's is their owner Dominic! He is a great guy and will do anything to make your meal special. Do yourself a favor and give this place a shot. And if you like tomato pies, order their Sicilian style and thank me later. read more

This is by far my favorite Italian Restaurant in the area. It's super casual but tastes better than the $$$$ Italian Restaurants. I highly recommend the Penne ala Vodka. read more

My friend and I visited last Friday. We had great service and our food was AMAZING! We got Fried Calamari and Broccoli Rabe as appetizers and they came out quick and hot and were delicious. I ordered the Garlic Bread Cheesteak. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out! The flavor combination is to die for. I'll definitely be back sooner than later. read more

My family and I promptly received our drinks and bread. After waiting 30 minutes to have our order taken we decided to leave. There were very few customers. I will not return. read more

this was our first time eating here. it definitely won't be the last!!! we ordered an italian stromboli and the chicken piccata. both were incredible! we had it delivered and it came hot and fresh. i'm looking forward to going there in person next time! read more

This place is a little gem. I tried their chicken and lettuce pizza and it was absolutely delicious. My one complain is that there were a lot of dust on their coke can. I guess I get the fountain drink next time. read more

Solid Grandmom's Pizza!! We were en route home after a long drive (5+ hours and counting!). We were in search of solid pizza stop off of Route 1 and Tony's did not disappoint! Nothing fancy about the inside, but if you are looking for tasty pizza, this is a great and quick stop! Recommend Grandmom's Pizza! I wish we got a large so we'd have more leftovers to take with us on our drive!! read more

Tony's has really good pizza. The chicken parm pizza is really popular, but my fav is the white with tomato & basil. My go to item besides the pizza is the Casablanca sandwich. Grilled chicken with pepperjack, ham, lettuce tomato & mayo. I also highly recommend the penne ala vodka. read more

Haven't had a bad meal. The pizza and pasta are ahhhmazingly delicious!! Huge chunks of garlic and flavorful olive oil in every dish. So so good. read more

I use to come here often, the food is pretty good but the place is FILTHY!!!! the dirt that is caked on the blinds, vents, wall is disgusting once I notice it! I did not return, a restaurant should not be as dirty as this place hope they get there shit together before someone calls the health department. read more

This is probably the best pizzeria in town. I love that they have authentic Italian food and wonderful service. Also, they have private parties in the back & catering is available. Can't wait for Valentine's day for the heart pizza, I'm obsessed with. read more

Best pizza we've had in Newark. Always a friendly staff and smiling faces when we come in. My husband is from NY and is very picky with pizza so I'm constantly on the search when we move place to place and I'm so glad i found this spot! Even if we have to drive the 20 minutes to pick it up, we won't go anywhere else. read more

Great stop! Really good appetizers, calzones and spaghetti! Meal came with bread and a salad. I think a family runs this place together too! Highly recommend. read more

Great Italian place! Best we have had so far! Huge portions. Boyfriend had Italian sub which was enough for two meals, and I had lobster ravioli. Very filling. They give you bread if you eat there. It seems to be family run. There was thick accented Italian woman behind the counter which sealed the deal as there was no question of authenticity! A++ Looking forward to trying the pizza in the near future! read more

This is one of my favorite places to go for lunch, especially because of their $4 lunch special and garlic knots! They also have some of the best cannolis I've ever gotten. The only reason I gave four stars is because the staff can be really brusque to put it nicely. As long as your are okay with angry Italian men barking orders at you then you will be fine with this place. lol read more

While I've never had their reheated slices, I ordered a chicken bacon ranch pizza that they made fresh. It was perfect! Perfect ratio of everything on it and the ranch was so good! Perfect crust, and lightly breaded chicken on it. The garlic knots were pretty good, but nothing too special. Plus listening to one of the workers speak in Italian had me feeling like I could trust the quality of pizza I got. read more

Been here a few times and the food taste has gone down. Folks here are very polite but to be honest we come for the food. Last time I was in (yesterday) I had the lasagna and was not cooked all the way and still pink in the middle. The other items we bland. It seems that they're trying to cut corners to save some money but in the end I believe it is hurting the restaurant. I will not be visiting again after 3 times that's enough I learned my lesson. read more

Tony's has great service and amazing food. Just had their Valentines dinner An amazing salad, mussels, saluted shrimp, fried Clamari and Egg plant rollatini and fried gnocchi Just fabulous!!! I come here once a week for regular meals and I have yet to have a bad meal!!! Dominic adds a great familiar atmosphere and you are always entertained by the lovey Crystal and Pia as your servers. And you can not forget the amazing chefs lead by Sal, Justin and Rudy!!! And you can't leave out the quiet guy that never speaks but make a killer pizza!!! I recommend Tony's to everyone for pizza sandwiches and fine Italian entries!!!! read more

Large portions...excellent authentic Italian food. Waitstaff is polite. Had the stuffed lasagna and my girl had the stuffed shells and they we both excellent. Highly recommended. All entrees come with fresh baked rolls and salad. Great outing with the fam. read more

If you're from New Jersey or New York and you love pizza this is a great place to try.

I wanted to put ZERO but I had to put one.. I ordered a well done hamburger platter with fries & I had it delivered & my hamburger came but it was not well done. I called & they delivered my hamburger with no fries but with chips & took the old platter with the fries back. When I called them back they told me I should have kept the cold fries from old platter.. REALLY!!! So they asked me what did I expect them to do & I said yes give me my money back. I was then told they would come take the platter back & refund my money but THAT I HAD ALREADY CALLED BACK TWICE & TO NOT CALL BACK THERE AGAIN.. I will make sure I tell everyone I know to not order from this place.. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!! read more

The food is pretty good, but I think there is a lack of service between the waitresses and the cooks. Normally, when you get a waitress that is new she may not know what she is doing, but it's not an excuse to mess up a special. My grandparents love the owners here. Giving this another try because the guy took three dollars off our bill. read more

This is easily the BEST pizza place and Italian food eatery in Newark. The food is definitely authentically Italian prepared. Their pizza is amazing and almost art, it's so beautifully prepared and crafted with love. Nobody does it like these guys. Tonight I came in for my favorite, a slice of the amazing cheesesteak pizza. While I was waiting for it to warm I was drooling (only figuratively of course) over the stuffed peppers they had behind the glass. I ended up asking for one of them also, they were so beautiful. I also commented on how good the plump stuffed mushrooms looked and the gentlemen (younger man with thick Italian accent, very handsome by the way) ended up throwing one into my takeout box free of charge. I just finished my meal and OMG... listen to me.... these were easily the best stuffed peppers and stuffed mushrooms I've ever had the privilege of tasting! The only complaint I have is that they don't deliver. However, Tony's is the type of place that one would drive many miles for and so I don't mind picking up because I'm always reminded how well worth it the short drive is. Amazing, really truly a Newark gem. read more

Every single time I've ordered from Tonys they exceed my expectations. Even just carry out slices are amazing and very large. The chicken ceasar salad pizza is incredible. I refer all of my friends here who have similar experiences. I have yet to eat inside the place but as long as the food is consistent I won't care how the service is. If you live anywhere nearby you have to give it a try. read more

Good pizza and great bread! Good spot to stop and have a bite, but very difficult to find.

First, level set your expectations. This is NOT fine dining and does not pretend to be. Expect solid if uninspired flavours and MONUMENTAL portions. Execution is, frankly, flawless. Pasta are perfectly al dente, parmesean crust is crisp and toothsome even after baking (no small feat) and breads are heavy and rich just as you should expect. On the other hand, sauces are watery and lack any real flavour. Come to think about it, that also perfectly describes the ambiance. The staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. The prices are crazy cheap for the portions, and they don't stint on any element of the dish. They do, however, use paper plates for the breads and pre-packaged salad dressing in sad little foil pouches. If ever there was a textbook two-and-a-half star place, this is it. read more

Fantastic food!!! Great service! Servers are the best!!! Order in or take out...its all the same!!! read more

My company ordered catering from Tony's bistro. I had some sausage, broccoli pasta with Alfredo and some fried chicken. I got sick 10 min after I finish my food and had to run to the bathroom. I felt there were a butterfly in my stomach. read more

This is my favorite pizza by far in Delaware! It's absolutely perfect quick service. Only thing they don't deliver but it's worth the drive. I tried many other pizza place before Tonys they were all horrible! read more

Everything here is fantastic. The Grandma pizza is my favorite pizza around! Also can't go wrong with the lasagna or anything for that matter! I can't believe it took me this long to write a review! read more

Their pizza is simply the best bottom line. If you want a simple cheese or pepperoni this is the place to go.

Don't let the strip mall facade fool you...the food is outstanding! Authentic Italian food like your Grandma used to make. The pizza is delicious, the bruschetta is my favorite. Don't pass on an appetizer...the broccoli rabe or cauliflower in the oil and garlic are both out of this world! They had a roasted eggplant and cherry tomato last night that was amazing! as is the eggplant parm sub! Stay and eat there because the bread and tomato pie that they bring to the table is perfect for sponging up the oil and garlic sauce! We go at least once a week, it's our new favorite restaurant. Definitely worth a visit!! read more

I have mixed emotions about Tony's, which is why I gave it 3 stars. I love Veal Marsala and a neighbor told me their food was so good. She and I went there the first time I visited. First of all it's empty inside. I loved the Veal Marsala but the staff is very unfriendly. They have one waitress who was ok but everyone else basically ignored us. I went back last week with my husband and same thing. It was empty inside and we were the only patrons eating in and again they were very unfriendly. That same waitress spoke to me but we had a waiter who was not at all friendly. Again, I got the Veal Marsala and again it was good but my husband says he doesn't want to go there again because he didn't like the unfriendly atmosphere. I will not return either because I am not used to a restaurant being as unfriendly as these folks at Tony's. Two men, who I assume were in charge, sat at a table looking at something on their tablets and never turned to speak to us even though we were the only customers eating there on a Friday early evening. It makes me feel uncomfortable about eating their food. read more
