Which was fine it just made it that easier to get in and out. I ordered 3 pizzas, wings, mozzi sticks and fried mushrooms. The food wasn't bad at all, my fam enjoyed the food, the wings and mozzi sticks are what really had them in. I'm used to a thicker crust, but this still did the job. I'll have to try other things on the menu.

They also have pizza by the slice and calzones, pasta dishes to list a few. We ordered the garlic knots, mozzarella sticks, chicken parmigiana pizza, philly cheesesteak and onions sub, and a meatboli. The service was great and everyone who worked there was personable and cared about their food and customer satisfaction. They do have seating which we did utilize since we drove 30 minutes to get there and most definitely will return again.

We stopped in while visiting the area and unfortunately the experience was pretty underwhelming…read moreoverall. The staff didn't seem very welcoming -- in fact, they appeared annoyed by even the smallest customer interactions, which made ordering and dining in feel uncomfortable. The restaurant itself has that classic New York / New Jersey-style pizza parlor vibe -- small, cramped, and a bit run-down -- but in this case it leaned more toward dirty and damp than charmingly old-school. Because I have significant issues with traditional gluten, I ordered the gluten-free pizza. It's made on a pre-packaged cauliflower crust that was largely flavorless and had a somewhat uninspired texture. The sauce was bland and really needed seasoning, and the cheese was simply... cheese. Nothing particularly good or bad, just very average. That said, I'm grateful that I didn't have any negative reactions after eating, which is always a concern for me when dining out. While the food itself wasn't impressive, it does seem to be a relatively safe option for those who need gluten-free choices while traveling.

Our family is visiting from NYC and we were looking for some quick food a bit later in the evening…read more We called in and really appreciated the quick and then pleasant service. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza and the cheesy bread. The food arrived quickly and was very good + affordable. The pizza was delicious and very close to the quality you would get in NYC. The cheesy bread was okay when dipped in the marinara, a little plain on its own but we finished everything. We will definitely order from here again and recommend this establishment.

Great music selection playing in the background with about 4 or 5 tv's on the wall usually on silent. Customer service is great and food comes out hot and delicious. Been here many times. Nice pours on wine and very cold beer selection.

Papa Tonys Pizza was absolutely delicious. This place came highly recommended and I understand why…read more I placed an order on DoorDash so I am unable to speak on the dine in experience. The food was delivered hot and accurately. The pizza was the highlight of the meal. The ultimate meat pizza included pepperoni, beef, and Italian sausage. I omitted the ham. The cheese bread was subpar. The size of the dish was nice but the bread lacked seasonings. For enjoyment, I added additional garlic powder and Italian seasonings. The marinara sauce was the best I've ever had. Not too tangy or sweet. Fresh ingredients. I would recommend and order here again!

As someone who has been coming to DeMara's all her life; over 40 years, it is sad that the quality…read moreof the pizza has continued to decrease. DeMara's is known for its fantastic thin-to-regular crust. Oddly enough tonight, I was served a pizza that was thicker than a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza. What is going on? The dough wasn't cooked all the way and raw; because it's too thick. I returned the pizza and the kitchen staff was not pleased and reacted poorly. This is not the DeMara's service and atmosphere that is part of our community. I hope they figure out what to do to get back to expected quality.
