Original Tony’s House of Pizza

Sadly, sadly, it is now closed. Marshall’s eviction notice on the door. :(

I eaten there several times and each time I try something new and have never been anything less than pleased.

This is absolutely our go-​to pizza in the neighborhood! We were searching around, but since we found Tony’s over a year ago, we haven’t tried another place. It is delicious and cheap, and delivery is quick and always accurate. (Not to mention the delivery guy is very nice.)

Decided to order from here because I thought it would be the fastest, (living only a block away) I order two slices of pizza cause i figured they just take them off the counter and it would be here in 15 – 20 mins. A hour and a half later it comes. Horrible delivery service, and the pizza is nothing special.

Average pizza. Better than most of the pizza shops in the immediate area. Large pie is $ 12.
One complaint: They no longer want to deliver to Waterside Plaza. Instead of defining a delivery area, their strategy is to NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE, EVER. We live around the corner and if we want a delivery, we have to physically visit the store to place our order.

We ate here at the recommendation of a friend. I had the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and a slice of their version of a White Pizza. Both slices were DELICIOUS! The crust was this and crisp. The buffalo wasn’t swallowed in Vinegar and Blue Cheese, there was a nice flavorful balance and the White Pizza has got to be the best I’ve had. I LOVE White pizza and it’s random globs of ricotta this one used the ricotta almost like a sauce so every bite was like a bite into one of those globs. And it was only $ 13 for 2 people to eat and get a drink. (the other person didn’t get pizza) not too shabby.

Crispy Crust. (good)
Stretchy Chewy Funny Tastin’ Cheese. (not the worst, not good)
Sauce is Blah. (not the worst, not so good)
Upset with myself for not hitting up the dollar pizza spot and getting two better tasting slices and a drink for the price of one slice. Next time I’ll pass.

Decent pizza but it’s forgettable. The prices are normal– $ 2.25 for a plain.
I do have to say that their crust is one of the best, light and crispy.
However, the sauce and cheese could use some more loving.

I walk past here everyday to and from work. I have tried the pizza here several times in my post-​shift exhaustion, and it has not failed to be decent. The quality of the pizza in NYC is a step up from everywhere else. So when I say this place is average for NYC, I mean that it is delicious and definitely worth your money, but it is also not the best around by any means. I will continue to go here for sure.

This pizza wasn’t that good. It tasted like non-​new york pizza. The crust was slightly chewy and my white pizza was overly cheesy and greasy. Plus, the slices weren’t even that big.

Solid pizza, decent prices. I like their buffalo chicken slice but i like to add hot sauce cause its not too buffalo-​y. Their salads are weird though they come with nasty cooked peppers and such so either ask for them on the side, or not at all. Also their garlic knots are awesome.

Okay, so let me preface my review by saying that yes, I’m from California, so you New Yorkers out there can feel free to think I’m full of crap. Now then…
In CA, «New York style» pizza is generally *not* what you get at Patsy’s, or Grimaldi’s, or Ray’s, or Sal and Carmine’s. NY style for us is a huge cardboard-​y, greasy slice that you have to fold in half to eat.
So when coming to NYC, I expected that the big difference would be that the crust on the pizza would not be cardboard-​like. Because that’s what they say, right? That NYC water makes all the difference? Anyway, kudos to Tony’s for meeting my expectations on this one.
The crust on my slice had good flavor, with a slight crisp to it that was pleasing. As an added bonus, it wasn’t at all greasy. At $ 2.25 for a slice of cheese bigger than my head, I give it my thumbs up.
