Done via GRUBHUB: Pizza was completely wrong /// i requested thin crust ( not thin crust) // !!! i requested ground beef as per their menu ( they decided to change it to shreded beef // !!! told them to cut into 8 slices ( they cut into squares !!!) /// i called the restaurant ...oh they never had ground-beef....then why is it on the Menu (to me thats false advertising) ...then i open a complain with GruBHub they reveiwed and offered me a Full REFUND) /// Overall BAD experience /// and what they sent was Horrible Pizza ( not edible like a cardboard box) // that's my say. read more

Indifference. I had received a flyer in the mail so I decided to try Zio Tony's. Upon calling, a nice Italian lady tried to take my order but it was hard to communicate. "I'd like to start with an order of baked clams." "Okay one order of eggplant." "No, I'd like a half-dozed baked clams." "Yes, eggplant." She did get my order right, and I found that conversation entertaining. The food was delivered as promised. The breading for the clams was tasty but the clams were over-cooked and really chewy. The mozzarella sticks were yum. The buffalo wings were spicy and flavorful but the wings themselves were kinda skimpy on the meat. The pizza was really good. I ordered my favorite; hot giardiniera and Italian beef, and they load up the toppings. Cheese is gooey and stringy and great. The prices were very good- I mean if you're looking for a super value and not worried about taste, of course get a large pizza with a bunch of toppings from Pizza Hut for $10, but that's IF you call that pizza. It wasn't enough to sway me away from my go-to pizza place but I will definitely order from them again. read more

Zio Tony's Pizza - the winner - Pizza Near Me - Addison, Illinois

This place has been here for a while but I never had stopped in here before. Small pizzeria located on Lake street. The lobby was kind of scruffy but not a big deal. Ordered a couple of slices. Had to wait a bit since this place takes their slices and pop back into the ovens for a re-heat. My slice option was limited to cheese only. I don't believe that they do a lot of business in slices since there were not any topping slices or a pizza warmer holding slices to go. The pizza was OK. Nothing really special. Not bad or anything, but not great either. 3 stars is my rating for the slices. Perhaps ordering a whole pizza would bump it to 4 stars, not sure. Cheers to All read more

Zio Tony's Pizza - This is actually a one slice order which they cut into two pieces - Pizza Near Me - Addison, Illinois

This place SUCKS. We ordered delivery and everything was horrible. First off, everything was wrong and items were missing. We got a "chicken Caesar salad" that tasted like salmonella, and the chicken was more dry than my Grandma at a Chief Keef concert. The "Bosco sticks" were just normal breadsticks that were hard enough to penetrate a Chastity belt. I wouldn't recommend the food to a homeless man who hadn't eaten in a month. African children are better off without eating this garbage food. read more

Really nice,clean place. Excellent food. Good customer service! Updated menu with new items. My favorite!!! read more

Do not order from Zito Tony's Complete order wrong and 2 hour delivery time . No breading in the Chicken Francese(3 orders) Wrong salad dressing on two salads Wrong sauce on 2 pastas Sent me breaded mushrooms when i ordered stuffed .All they want to compensate is half off for next time which I won't eat there again so that is pointless and only refund the mushrooms they messed up .Rude people read more

We have at LEAST 15 different pizza options within a 5-mile radius of our home. No kidding. So last night when pizza sounded good for dinner, it was determined that we should try someplace we haven't yet. Zio Tony's it was. And fun fact -- what they call "pan" pizza is really deep dish. They also have stuffed. We were expecting just a thicker-crust pan, not the truly deep. Now you know. A breakdown on the deep dish: Sauce: Awesome. A little spicy, a lot garlicky, chunky and tasty. My favorite part. Cheese: Plentiful. An overabundance, perhaps. Not quite as mutant as Generoso's, but I was left wondering where the bottom crust had disappeared to. Crust: Bottom crust disappeared beneath the cheese. A smidge chewy. Top crust was doughy, flavorful, not dry but no buttery-ness or cornmeal here. Breakdown on the thin crust (updated 7.27.10): Pepperoni: Decent but I like some on top so it gets nice and crispy. This was all underneath and had a sausagey taste to it. Cheese: Plentiful, but my guess is (thanks to Mike O's pizza knowledge) cheap/low fat -- didn't appear to be cut that well, it came off in big globs. A pet peeve of mine. Sauce: Good, but salty. Liked the deep dish sauce better. Crust: Crispy. Good, but not great. I did like the texture a lot. The cheese sticks we got were tasty but unremarkable. Price is really what's compelling here; this stuff is pretty cheap. A large cheese deep dish was a mere $13.60. (Bit more for stuffed, less for thin crust.) And they regularly have pretty good coupons. (16" thin crust with $3 off coupon: about $9.) read more

Recently I was in Addison, Il the home of the Blazers. I stopped at a little place called Zio Tony's Pizza at 613 West Lake Street, Addison, Il. to try out their pizza. They have a Jumbo Cheese Pizza Slice and Drink Special for just under $4.00 dollars. This little take-out and delivery place was voted to have the best cheese pizza the best pizza sauce and other honors at the Village of Addison Judges Choice Awards. I found the jumbo slice of thin crust cheese pizza very good. The establishment by all means, is a store shop business. However, they do have a small table set up inside the shop and on the outside. As one enters the shop they can't take notice of the numerous photographs of their Italian gourmet dishes on the West wall. The word on the street is their Italian prepared food is excellent. In the past I tried one dozen of their baked clams which were awesome. I learned their recipes were handed down and associated with the original Venuttis Restaurant, that was located on North Ave, in Villa Park, Il. After I had their pizza I tried their Italian Beef sandwich. It was served on lightly toasted Italian Bread which really added to the favor. Zio Tony's is known for their Meal Deals and coupons. If a customer saves 10 or more menus or receipts they earn $6.00 for any purchase. I feel that little incentive is a great customer service move. They specialize in take-out, delivery and will cater any special event. They offer menu specials Monday through Sunday. On Sunday they have a " Sunday Family Special" which includes a bucket of spaghetti or Mastaccioli with Meatballs and Sausage for $16.00. It serves 4 to 8 people. One of their best Meal Deals, is the $20.99 , 18'' party pizza, with 2 liters of RC or 7Up and two sides...Yummy Deal. The menu at Zio Tony's includes appetizers, Pasta, Entrees, Chicken, Ribs, Sides, Dinners, Soups, Salads, Sandwiches, and their signature pizza. Their pizza favorites are, thin crust, pan, stiffed and Panzarotti. They also have an 8" personal pizza. Some of their types of pizza prepare are, the Southwestern, Basil, Meat Lovers, Hawaiian, Margarita, Mexican and Vegetarian. I found the service great, the food good and the prices very reasonable in this hard economic times. I give Zio Tony's Pizza , FOUR STARS. Take a good slice out of life with Zio Tony's Pizza. read more

We ordered a veggie pizza consisting of mushrooms, black olives and fresh garlic. You could tell the ingredients were fresh. I enjoyed the homemade sauce and the cheese was just OK but the balance of cheese, sauce and toppings was perfect. I really liked their sauce. The thin crust is just the right thickness with edge pieces having just the right amount of crunch. The owner is very polite and seemed to appreciate me being a first time cutomer. After reviewing their extensive menu, we'll be giving some of the Italian specialities and pasta dishes a try next time we order. read more

We've ordered Zio Tony's a few times, and each time its been good, but nothing truly remarkable. I usually order the fettuccini with broccoli, which is a nice greasy treat. The broccoli is perfectly cooked, and with the addition of some salt and red pepper flakes the dish is actually really good. The BF has ordered the meatballs, thin crust pizza, and an angel hair dish with chicken. All of which were ok, again with the addition of many condiments. Overall, we like Zio Tony's because it is mere blocks away, so everything is delivered quickly and is still hot. If you want pizza, go to Nardi's, but the pasta dishes are great for a lazy evening. read more

*great pizza, great service, owners show that they appreciate your business and value your time *I've never entered the door and haven't been received with warm smile and greeting *with so much competition in the area, this place knows how to keep customers * I LOVE IT, LOL read more

Been a long-time patron of Zio Tony's since I moved to the area in 2014. Their appetizers, sandwiches, and pasta dishes were always great, and their pizza was okay! The operative term is "WAS". I and my hungry, nerdy roommates loved this place before they closed and re-opened under new management; not so sure the change was for the better (also read the available reviews and a good chunk of Addison agrees with me). Here's the skinny: Item 1: (per the menu) "Tortellini Alla Panna: In our Alfredo sauce with capicola ham and mushrooms." What we got was cheese tortellini and marinara. The menu description should not INCLUDE alfredo sauce if I must SPECIFICALLY ASK them to SUBSTITUTE FOR alfredo sauce. Also...not a mushroom or speck of ham in sight. The sauce was also both BLAND and ACIDIC as hell. Not sure how you managed that, but that's not actually considered a success. Item 2: Jalapeno Poppers: I've had cheddar ones and cream cheese ones. The old ones were either or which was great for my cream-cheese loving ass.... but these were a mix of both, and the poppers were half-breaded and totally uncooked. The little breading on them was so soaked with oil no one will eat them. These are considered a total waste. Item 3: Chicken Fingers: These were my absolute favorite thing before the changeover and they're still pretty good. There's just like...4 little strips and a couple of shards of chicken in there. Previously, the order would fill the container. And... the blue cheese side I ordered was ranch dressing. I HATE ranch. Forcing ranch dressing upon me deducted an entire star on its own. Item 4: Chicken Sandwich: Per the menu description it should have been covered in melted cheese. What we got was a dry (both NO cheese and NO moisture) chicken cutlet on a giant French bread bun with soggy fries. The spices on the fries was good, but the fries themselves were awful. Item 5: Baklava: About the only thing that wasn't a huge disappointment was this beautiful baklava (which MAY or MAY NOT have come pre-packaged from another place). In the end, we ended up as 3 very disappointed, hungry, local nerds. Upon calling Zio Tony's and explaining the above, the manager was apologetic and will be refunding the $29.03 we paid for the above travesty so... customer service is good! We just can't eat their customer service (because cannibalism is still frowned upon, BTW). Do better, New owners/management of Zio Tony's. DO BETTER. read more

Delivery dude is rude af just cause someone wrote my phone number wrong. So instead of giving my food to my hands he just put it on the floor waiting for me to pick it up. And basically yelling out loud about how my address wasn't complete or the number wasn't even right. The pizza was all messed up. I've never had a problem before but today was just wow. read more

Pizza was so good and they have awesome deal. Thank you I wish they could help me carry my pizza to my car but the pizza and food was soooo yummy. Thank you again. read more

I know it's hot out and I ordered pasta fagiole but it was good! Hit the spot along with my small Hawaiian pizza! good crust, great ingredients. tasty dinner perfect for that late night of work at the office. read more

I ordered eggplant parmigiana which is supposed to come with bread, salad, and a side. It came with none of those things. It was the worst eggplant I've ever had, undercooked and chewy. I had about 3 bites and threw it out it was that bad. I don't normally leave reviews but this was incredibly disappointing. read more

I have ordered delivery from Zio Tony's on different occasions and I've never had too bad of an experience. Today, I ordered for my girlfriend and I and everything was terrible down to the delivery driver. The delivery driver was very rude and didn't have change. When we opened the bag, half of the sauce was submerged all over the bag. The food wasn't even appealing to look at let alone eat it. The pasta sauce looked old and curdled, the chicken that we ordered was dry topped with what looked like only lemon juice. Needless to say, we would rather starve than order from this place again. read more

Beware--new owner! I had some misgivings when I saw a new menu posted on the website. But I ordered anyway, although many of my favorites were no longer on the menu, having been replaced by something called "Old World Cuisine." This "Old World Cuisine" is not Italian, and consists of items I have never heard of, even though I fancy myself as a foodie. The "Old World" country of origin is not specified, but the items include mantija, cevapi, butek, and suxhuk. Definitely not "Old World" Italian. I picked-up and saw that the formerly messy and disorganized front area is now bright and organized, another sign something was not right. A different man with an accent (not sure what type) was at the counter. The pizza was okay, and fairly similar to the former pizza, (perhaps due to being baked in the same oven) although the sausage pieces were crumbles rather than chunks.The lasagna was awful, soggy and lacking in fillings, with a watery orange sauce (no longer a choice of meat or marinara sauce). The entire dish was overly salty but otherwise tasteless. I had two bites and threw it out. An extra cost side salad had mushy tomato slices and vinegar/oil; no choice of dressing was offered, as there was previously. Italian bread was not provided with the lasagna, even though the menu indicated it was supposed to be. One of my favorites, escarole and sausage soup, is no longer on the menu, nor is the broasted chicken, the veal dinner items, or baked manicotti. Gone are the discounted daily dinner specials. The former Zio Tony's had very good homemade Italian take-out and catering. No longer! I Googled the new "Old World Cuisine" items, and found that the dishes originated in the Ottoman Empire, and are popular in the Balkans, including Albania, and the Middle East. While I would not think there is a demand for this type of cuisine in Addison, it may be intetesting to sample this unfamiliar food. But designating it as "Old World Cuisine" is misleading, as one would expect a take-out with an Italian name and formerly real Italian cuisine, to have "Old World" Italian, rather than Balkan. Is the failure to specify the origin of these new "Old World" items an attempt to hide the fact that Zio Tony's is no longer operated by an Italian-American? read more

I'm torn on my rating here. I want to give Zio Tony's an extra star, but with all of the local places we've tried lately, it just doesn't really have that extra something to stand out. We've tried both the thin crust and deep dish. Both were good, just not super special. The one thing Zio Tony's does have going for it is the sauce. It's got a unique flavor, with quite a bit of garlic in it amongst other things. The problem is it's either too much with the deep dish or too little with the thin crust. know one of the hallmarks of Chicago deep dish is the mounds of sauce, but it shouldn't completely overwhelm everything, that sort of defeats the purpose. There was too little cheese and the bottom crust was almost non-existent. And while that sauce is good, there's such a thing as too much of a good thing. It just gets a tiny bit monotonous. With the thin crust, the cheese was just average and a bit on the greasy side, so it kind of rendered the sauce invisible. The crust on the thin was pretty crispy though, which is nice, because I hate soggy flimsy pieces of pizza (I'm looking at you New York... poseurs). Another point in Zio Tony's favor is the guy who runs the place. Both times I went to pick up, he was super friendly and when you call on the phone seems pretty detail oriented. He wants to make sure he gets everything right. In fact, when I got there, the guy in front of me was making a catering order and the owner was being extremely specific about the quantities of everything to make sure the customer got what he needed. So, Zio Tony's is a pretty mixed bag. It's not high on my list of places around here, but it's convenient to get to, and incredibly inexpensive, so overall, not a bad place to get a quick pizza. read more

My to go pizza place. Best Pizza in Addison. Corey is a very sweet man. He takes orders til the minute before he closes. He makes some killer thin crust pizza. Try his meal deal. You get an 18'' family size pizza, 2 sides (mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, etc), and a 2 liter of soda for $22 and change after tax. read more

Was expecting a lot more out of this place after seeing all of the awards in the front boasting about the pizza. They were out of sausage when I stopped by around lunch time, and there was not enough sauce on the 2 slices I did get. The crust was pretty good for thin crust. read more

I'll try it again because the service and prices were good but the slice was blah at best. I'd like to see them clean the place up a little bit but I'll give it another shot for a sandwich or lasagna. Hope that they have a quality second impression! read more

This place did not disappoint! Used them for Christmas Eve dinner at our home for the main meal only, opting to make the side dishes myself. Definitely will use Zio Tony's again for superbowl party or family get-togethers. You can't beat the quality and price! Ordered a full sized tray of meat Lasagna (24 slices), full tray of chicken marsala, half order of mostaccoli and wow was this delicious! Ordered a tray of house salad and it was good, but have to say I'm a complete fan of Portillo's chopped salad so house salads in general do not "woo" me, but it was fresh. I would highly recommend the meat lasagna and the chicken marsala - they were delicious and the price was so reasonable especially for the quality of the food. We had leftovers for days and the lasagna kept getting better day after day! They gave a complimentary loaf of bread with our order and my guests were going up for seconds - for bread! Everything was delicious and received lots of compliments on the food. I only ordered the mostaccoli for the kids at the party and even they had THIRDS (which they never do)! I agree with the other reviewer that commented how fresh the ingredients were - the sauce on that lasagna was about as homemade as it comes! The owner was so gracious to speak with and made suggestions for the chicken marsala and was very accommodating for my last-minute delivery time/order. I would definitely order this ahead of time and would not be afraid to reheat the next day or closer to when guests arrive - as I said, I thought the food kept getting better day after day! Thank you Zio Tony's for all your hard work - definitely will try your pizza next time :) read more

The pizza here is really great. My boyfriend usually hates mushrooms, but the mushroom/onion pizza I ordered was so good that he actually ate half of it. Staff is friendly, food comes out quick, and there's usually a good promo going on. read more

I ordered a thin crust pizza with sausage through Grub Hub. Very greasy but OK. I also order bruschetta which I paid $4.00 for--it came with the bread in one tray and the topping in amother. The tomatoes and onions were dripping with oil and swimming in oil. I had to dip the bread. I only ate one piece because it was so greasy I could not eat any more and threw it out. Not a good meal. I would not order again. read more

Just like most others that ordered delivery. LATE. 41 minutes late to be exact. The pizza is good but not better than other places in town that deliver on time. I guess my $60 order was not significant enough to get it to me on time or close to on time. Never ordering from here again. Very disappointed in the delivery service. read more

Best carry out pizza!!! We must have at least 10 different places to get pizza here in Addison. This is our "go-to" pizza place. Fresh ingredients and very, very tasty sauce. We decided to order an appetizer and tried the fried calamari. I told my husband that since this is a pizza place that the calamari would probably look more like onion rings. Boy was I wrong...fresh calamari. Some Italian restaurants don't even take the time to do that. What a surprise! There are soooo many different pizza options you can choose from. You wont be disappointed!!! read more

Very good thin pizza. Sauce is plentiful and tasty. Great leftovers for the next day

This place is the worst pizza place I have ever ordered from. the pizza wat 30 mins late, cold, and didn't come with the toppings I ordered. When I called to complain I was called a liar and told that my pizza was hot and had the correct toppings on it. When I insisted that this was not the pizza I ordered The man Screamed at me on the phone. Also the pizza was gas station quality at best. Thanks Tony for ruining my evening because your restaurant is sub par at best. read more

I absolutely loved Zio Toni's pizza and have tried different places in the Chicago land area. I decided to try Zio Toni's in Addison. I ordered a thin pepperoni, onion and mushroom, Cesar salad and pasta with vodka sauce. The pizza was Excellent!!!. It had great flavors and real tasty. The crust was cooked exactly the way I like it. The Cesar salad was also really really good. The lettuce was very fresh and the dressing was yummy. Lots of times I order salad from different pizza places and the salad is wilted. Not the case with Zio Toni's. It was really fresh and crisp. I must say that the pasta with vodka sauce was the BEST I ever had. It was a nice big portion and the sauce was sooooo good I felt like I was in back in Italy. The people that work there are super nice and they now have a new customer that will order from them anytime I am looking for pizza and Italian food. I am looking forward to trying other dished that they have. Angela K read more

For the prize, you sure got a lot of food, the quality was great but definitely not a 5/5 and the owner was very very polite.

The best place for a lunchtime slice of pizza and a pop! Owner is a nice guy too.

This is one of the places we order from when we have a taste for a really good pizza. The chicken strips are good too. We really like the bbq sauce they come with. The chicken parm is also something we like to get here. read more

I was very dissapointed tonight when I ordered from there tonight. I ordered the Tortellini Alla Panna and asked for no peas and got peas, also the sauce tasted like basic heavy cream and had a soup like consistancy. The dish is 11.85 with tax and it was just awful. The pizza is great but i would not recommend this dish. read more
