Have been a huge fan for around 30 years. Top 3 pizza places of all time. Last 2 times eating there however have been disappointing . Seems to have less flavor. Wondering if they changed the sauce. Perhaps post Covid taste buds but I don't think so. Anyone else notice this? read more

One of the best pizzas in town. Sandwiches are great, along with staff. They deliver and fast. Great value for your buck.

Best pizza around no question about it! Great service and great atmosphere! I've been to Tony's multiple times and it is always amazing!

Great pizza and I love the build your own salad. But seriously the service is poor and food takes forever! I came here early on a Tuesday night and waited 35 minutes for our pizza. Then the server came over and said 'Oh your pizza is just going in the oven. We had a big delivery order.' So in total our pizza took almost an hour....early...on a Tuesday night. Pizza and salad isn't THAT good. read more

This restaurant serves the best amazingly delicious and uniquely crafted pizza/ appetizers/ Rotisserie chicken.However the place needs lot of attention. Bathroom needs major renovation , soap and paper towels please ! The place needs some ambiance. Ads on Yelp? And they definitelyneed Lovely servers! We had a server who seemed to be blunt and in rush who didn't even care to ask us how our food taste and she dumped everything on the table with no kindness!! read more

Pizza was good! The service was bland. The cheese bread was amazing. Pizza was huge and my girlfriend and I could not finish two slices! The cheese bread was amazing and the ranch and marinara really complemented the flavored. Service was adequate I wish they attended to the tables more. One drink re fill did not do me justice. read more

Pizza is good! Can't beat the size of the slices around here! Food is pretty good; I really enjoy the build your own salads! The website for delivery hardly works on my iPhone, but that's neither here nor there I've come here a couple of times for karaoke Thursday nights and it was a little odd. Some nights they were charging taxes on drinks. (Why 63 cents added on?? Makes no sense!) Other nights there weren't. There's not a lot of consistency, but I personally haven't had a really terrible experience here. Just middle of the road usually. read more

My friend bought one of your pizzas yesterday and the manager said we put less cheese on the pizza durning the week they save it for the weekend. As a cheese shortage. Don't think so. Buy someone else's pizza. read more

I should preface this that I am not a native of Cedar Falls, nor am I a Pizza fan. So I have no hisotry with Tony or this pizza. So I ordered wings...but I did encourage my husband to order a large Pizza "just in case". WOW! After waiting nearly 40 minutes for the Pizza to arrive (and dying from the delicious smells) WOW!!! The Pizza, the Wings and everything was delicious. The waiter was charming and the entire location and the decor was inviting. I would have given this 5 stars if we hadn't been made to wait for sooooooo long! read more

I would say Tony's is my favorite pizza in the area. It's also one of my favorite restaurants to go to because of the overall experience. Great beer selection, great pizza with any kind of fresh toppings you can think of, and great salads with any of those same toppings. Outdoor seating and a dimly lit bar that's lively at nighttime...what more can you ask for? I've had the 1lb mussels appetizer and those are delicious also. read more

Horrible customer service when it comes to delivery. Pizza is great...when you finally get it. Every time we order, it's like we have to call them to remember to bring the food hours later. Would rather take my business elsewhere than wait hours for service. Please take heed when looking for places to order from. read more

This review is not intended on their pizza but poor service at lunch yesterday. I have been going to Tony's since I was in diapers. Been to it on the hill when it was a hole in the wall to the time it was a nightclub. I went to the shady Italian Mafia grotto seemingly themed one in Waterloo as well when I was a college student. Their pizza is wonderful, but yesterday the service was not. The place itself has a couple nice outdoor patios to sit at, a kind of room for families, and a bar area with 20 taps. My friend and I sat down and ordered our drinks from the hostest, who was also training a new waitress. Who would have thought anything could go wrong with two waitresses. So we ordered our drinks, garlic cheese bread, and a medium pizza. After ordering, we downed our drinks and waited about 15 minutes with empty glasses and no cheese bread. We flagged down the waitress at the table next to us and she went to get us drinks. Our waitresses finally came back several minutes later with lukewarm garlic cheese bread and our drinks. You could tell the cheese bread had been sitting there for a bit by the fact that it was both lukewarm and when pulling a part the pieces, the cheese did not have the usual stretch. Then within about 3 minutes our pizza was out on the table. What floored me about the pizza was the size of a medium was nearly identical to one order of the two pizza lunch special. My buddy and I were taken aback by this. A good waitress would have told the eater the better deal (when ordering a one topping medium pizza) at lunch was identical to the size of the two piece lunch special because it was $6 dollars cheaper. Talk about junk for service. The icing on the cake was the bill. The garlic cheese bread on the menu is $4.50. We were charged $5. When I went to dispute this, the worker stated that it was $5 because we had ranch with the bread. We didn't even ask for ranch. I took the high road and got out of there. Next time I am going for take out or delivery. Definitely not eating in! read more

We go here now and then as over all the pizza as far as crust and sauce is good and I like the make your own salad though they up the price and the salad got smaller. My big thing is when ordering at least beef or sausage it is one small piece of sausage or maybe 1 1/2 pieces on each piece, you get one bite of it with meat and the other is cheese pizza. This has happened numerous times so I am assuming they are only to put that little bit of meat on. My spouse has his side covered in Canadian bacon. This really needs to change, a person would have a bite of meat or veggies in each bite. If I wanted cheese pizza I would order it, The service is a 3 usually but one night we had a guy who gave us almost a 4 in service. It was great. read more

Unimpressed. Cheesy breadsticks good, ordered Onion sticks; breading didn't stick, could have used an overnight buttermilk bath! Salad was good, green with a very garlicky, creamy garlic. Potato soup had an overwhelming sage taste. Not to our liking! And made the mistake of ordering by the slice. The whole pizzas all around us looks delicious, light flaky crusts. My homemade sausage had good flavor, but 1/2 of the slice didn't have any cheese. Crust was super chewy. We had great service to start, then waited 20 minutes with our uneaten pizza plates in our table for someone to process payment. First and only visit. read more

Pizza was incredible! Best pizza ever. Wow. Time and time again, what a treat. It is the highlight of our visit to CF. We make a special trip just because we crave it. Even all the pizza in Italy doesn't come close to the flavor and dough of a Tony's pizza. read more

Man this has been a local around here for years. What has happened ? Horrible service and not just one time. At least an hour for a pizza. No apology nothing. Just got delivery on pizza WAS BIG TONIGHT. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PLACE. PASS UNLESS YOU HAVE hours to wait read more

Tony's has a great menu where you can choose the ingredients for your salad. The pizzas are thinner to medium and are served pipeing hot. Hummus on the appetizers tastes homemade. Nice patio in the back of the restaurant but only a view of parking. Wednesday's are 1/2 off wine. read more

Well done restoration in historical downtown CF. In fact the whole downtown area is a real jewel with many cool businesses. The outdoor beer garden in the rear of the building is one of the nicest places you'll find in Iowa for al fresco dining. The service is enthusiastic and attentive. The pizza is good too. Not rock your world awesome but worthy of the charactor of this fine facility. Lots of creative salads too. I would like to explore more of the menu but that will be another day. read more

Best pizza in the Cedar Valley! Everything is always fresh and such a friendly staff, this places doesn't disappoint!

Good Pizza if you don't mind waiting at least 45 to 90 minutes. Pizza - 4 stars - This is the closest to NY Style pizza you will find in NE Iowa. It's good. Service - 1 star / 2 stars - fugetaboutit! Don't get me wrong, the people are nice, it's just ..... Pizza takes at least 45 minutes and that is on a slow night. We went in one night and had to wait an hour and a half after ordering to get 1 NY style pizza (with 4 year old twins at the time - not exactly known for their patience). In Philly, no matter where you go or how crowded the joint, it takes 15 minutes. It's pizza, not a rump roast.. "Perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove." Vinny Gambini Atmosphere - 5 stars - Awesome. Top notch. Beer Selection (pizza and beer, right?) - 3 stars - good, better that the average bar. A nice selection outside of the big 3. We once "call ahead" reserved a table for 11. At the time they said no problem. When 4 of the 11 showed up, they said that the time starts "now" as in when they showed up and that they couldn't seat them until all 11 people showed up. Really? REALLY? Again, really like the pizza, the atmosphere, and the beer (four stars) - but the service and time it takes to get your food knocks it down to a 2 star joint, 3 at best (and that is being generous). I hope they get their service issues and pizza cooking time down, because if they did, we would go there more often than once or twice a year. read more

Tony's specializes in thin crust pizza. It comes out crispy. They also have a New York style available, but I haven't tried it. I really enjoy their pizza, especially the Italian Tradition (prosciutto, arugala, parmesan). The house made sausage is also excellent. They also offer salads, soups, and subs. They have an extensive beer, wine, and martini list. They provide crayons to draw on the white paper tops. The atmosphere is pretty quiet but can be a bit loud when busy. The service is normally prompt and friendly. You can call ahead fit seating. read more

Love this place!!! I live in KC but come here every time I visit family. I crave it, nothing this good where I live, especially the Taco Pizza! Highly recommend this quaint cozy place! read more

Tony's La Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Cedar Falls, Iowa

I went there with some friends during Cedar Falls' Sturgis Festival. We were one of those annoying tables that all get water, and has separate checks. We split a large pizza, that was very good, and the waitress was very nice and split the bill three ways. I go to school with the owners son, and love the family business aspect! read more

Have been to eat there many times.. Very bad host service tonite...4 groups seated before us..we had party of 6..then we get told 90 minute wait for pizza....waitress was very good...host seems like he just forgot us... read more

In town for family weekend and stopped here on recommendation of a friend. It was crowded so we put our names in and was told it would be an hour wait. We decided to wait, and they ended up calling our name in 10 minutes. Stone fire pizzas were delicious as was the garlic bread. Pros: great location on Main Street, charming atmosphere, reasonable prices, good pizza, good service. Cons: none read more

Tony's La Pizzeria - Garlic cheese bread at Tony's. yum! - Pizza Near Me - Cedar Falls, Iowa

Nothing really seems to distinguish Tony's. The pizza is OK, with the crust/dough being a little below average while the toppings are reasonable. Service was plodding even though it did not seem like we were there at a particularly busy time. Wouldn't go out of my way to revisit. read more

Pizza was as good as usual...wait staff sucks... flies all over the place from staff propping open the kitchen door so they could stand there and smoke. We had to cover our food with napkins to keep the flies from crawling on our food. We had to flag down the staff to get more drinks and when we had to do this they were rather snide and rude. We evidently interrupted their party at the bar and they didnt appreciate it... read more

Been to this place a number of times. They are of the mindset that slapping wood paneling on a college town pizza joint is a license to triple the area's average prices and act like they're doing the customer a favor instead of the other way around. I've been there a few mediocre times, but I'll focus on a recent experience that sums the place up well. A group of friends went there for a birthday. Our experience was pretty lousy. The waitress acted like our group was really putting her out, refusing to chat with anyone and forgetting about drink orders and requests. A number of us ordered drinks that were overpriced and under-liquored. An $8.50 martini tasted like vodka and vermouth randomly dumped into a glass, and a whiskey-coke didn't have enough booze in it to give a toddler a buzz. The atmosphere was nauseatingly loud, strange considering the faux-classiness of the decor. I'd expect such noise from a nightclub, not a restaurant/bar where people are ordering food. There was supposed to be karaoke, but the local entertainment group didn't bother to get the songs going until well after 11, even though the restaurant claimed it starts at 9:30. The good: We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza which was reasonably tasty, though certainly not transcendent. I'd prefer several other pizza places in the area, but it was fine. The birthday guest got a piece of cheesecake that he reported tasted like it could have come out of a freezer, which it almost certainly did. When our group asked for our bill, she refused to split it up, insisting that we figure it out ourselves. I've been to dozens of restaurants and bars with large parties and this was the first time I've had restaurant staff literally refuse to cooperate when it comes to the bill. On top of that, the place tacked on a 50% gratuity and refused to waive it from the bill. Our group was tempted to feud with them over it, but decided that we had already wasted enough time in the place. read more

Very good place to stop in, amazing pizza and cheese sticks. The staff is very friendly and everyone working there seems to enjoy it. Great place and environment. read more

Pizza was just okay. Service was very slow and wasn't very busy during time we went. Server was very nice though.

Terrible experience. Understaffed. Owner went on a rant using profane language in front of customers, including children. So many excellent options in Cedar Falls. This is not one of them. read more

House special pizza on thin crust was amazing...flavorful and cheesy. Also loved the balsamic glaze dressing on our salad. Service was thin at lunch. When we asked our waiter for suggestions, he literally read the menu back at us. Also had to track him down for the check. Still, we will be back because the food was scrumptious. They also have nice specials on weekdays. read more

Tai chicken pizza was great with the right amount of spice. Waiter could of not checked on us so much. But food was great atmosphere was great. read more

Great food (loved the specialty pizzas) and appetizers! Our waitress (Natalie) was so nice and helpful too. Pretty location. We will be back next time we are in town. read more

The pizza is excellent, I could eat it all day whether thin crust or New York style. The chicken wings are amazing. I love them but the hot ones are a little too hot for my taste. The service is consistent and the workers are friendly. They have 3 different seating options: a restaurant side, bar side, and an outdoor patio. It is also good for watching sports as they have lots of TVs. read more

This is a really good Italian style restaurant they have different varieties of pizza for people who don't like normal size crust. They also have vary many choices for many different peoples likings. I think the best part was how this pizza wasn't greasy and was just right.The service their is good to always making sure everything's is going good. This is probably my favorite pizza place read more

More Like Tony's La Diarrhea Hardly do I take the time to leave reviews, but I thought I needed to let everyone know about this place..... Tony's pizza is sooooo generic. You are better off making a ketchup & ham pizza at your house. Appetizers were gross as well. Wait staff was scatterbrained and disorganized. Get this....I found clear PLASTIC food packaging in my appetizer AND my pizza!!!! Disgusting! When I brought it to their attention they tried to tell me that it was the hard outer shell from the calamari. I was trying not to laugh. The only good thing they have at Tony's is beer (and they even messed that up by bringing me a draft when I asked for a bottle!). This place is a joke. read more

I'm new to the cedar falls area. I have been looking for a place that serves calamari for a while. This is the only place in the area I found that has it. It was fried just right. The portion size was so big that I was too full to eat the rest of the meal. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant read more

Excellent customer service, family friendly environment, personal tv at table, and amazing pizza 2 slices of the New York style all meat pizza and I was full. Plus it's all brick oven cooked! Only downside; lack of knowledge on who's serving what table at times but the food made up for that read more

Very good restaurant on Main Street! The service leaves something to be desired and the wait for food is excessive. That being said the atmosphere is great and the food is incredible! We will be back and recommend this to friends. read more
