    Decent pizza in a saturated market. Had a couple of plain slices. Everything held in place meaning the mozz didn't slide off when biting into it for the first time. Good sign they make ok pizza. Didn't stand out amongst other places I have been to. Supposedly a staple of PL.

    We've been coming here for more than 15 years. It's one of 25 places to get pizza within 5 miles. Tony's is the go-to place for pizza and traditional American style Italian. Roberto,  the current owner, was the sous chef for more than a decade when Tony sold the restaurant to him. Roberto and his wife had started a Mexican restaurant down the block; when the deal for Tony's came they folded the Mexican menu into the Italian one.

    Roberto has taught his sons to have the same light touch with the pizza dough, one of the more delicate in the area with just enough chew without being tough. As a traditional American style pizza it has a bit too much cheese in my opinion, but everyone loves it. Entrees encompass the classic and traditional as well as some newer combinations of ingredients.

    The Mexican menu is only a small part of restaurant's offerings but this is all home made; burrito,  shredded beef chimichangas and flautas. Shrimp Vera Cruz is a delight. They have toned down the spice to appeal to the local community but feel free to ask for more heat for any reason.

    While prices are edging up there are only a couple dishes that near $20 and most are $9-18.

    A 18" pie is still under $15. Tony's is BYOB, there's no corkage fee and it's not uncommon to see a table sit down with a couple different wines.

    I grew up in this place!  It had the BEST pizza!  Especially the sausage pizza, with the BIG chunks of sausage all over it...OMG, Yum-Yum!   I wish I could say it stayed the same.  I'm sorry to say I can't really post anything good about this place.  Although, I am pleased to see it is still doing business after all these years.  What I mean by all these years...is I havn't been in this place 1985 or something close to that.  The food was average, and maybe it was  because this place is really tired so the atmosphere does not complement the food.

    Last weekend, I was in Pompton Lakes to visit my family for a sad event and would like to say again, how wonderful Tony's is.

    They are loyal to their community and patrons. Tony's will always hold a special place in my heart.

    Thanks for the amazing food, guys. You truly are a place that I call "home."

    Looks like they may be under new ownership since I first discovered this place about 4 years ago with an old friend. I started working in the area & drove by one day & remembered how good the pizza was from here.

    It's definately greasy, but pizza should be greasy! I have had regular cheese slices, chicken parm slices, white pizza & sicilian & they are all excellent.

    The staff is friendly & always helpful. I have never tried any other dishes from here besides the pizza but its definately good stuff.

    I brought my son here today and had a couple of excellent slices. The slices are very large, and with a very crunchy thin crust that I like very much. Not soggy and chewy at all. Not the kind of place to bring the wife  for a romantic dinner...just a little too tacky for me.
