    Great place. Staff is kind and helpful. Theirs is something for everyone there. Vegan options as well as gluten free options are available. They have a large array of items to chose from(ice cream, cake, pastries, burgers, vegan burgers, etc.). Their plain pizza is good. Has seating. Delivery is available.

    I haven’t seen any reviews of their gluten free pizza so thought I would share the amazing experience I had with ordering a gluten free pizza at Tony’s. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch pizza on gluten free crust, and immediately they knew to make it a special order to add grilled instead of breaded chicken, which not every restaurant knows to do. When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised at how large the order was (most gluten free pizzas are small personal sized pizzas) and what a work of art it was. Not to mention it was incredibly delicious. Highly recommend!

    I eat Tony's pizza 2-5 times a week. These guys hold it down big time. The pizza is good, you have a lot of choices. They are legit to deal with too, you know it gets hectic in there and they keep things running professional. I love Tony's.

    It was ok. A bit too chewy for my taste.

    Went to Tony’s Pizza for the first time this past weekend, and I have to say it immediately brought me back to my childhood. Growing up in the Bronx, I was exposed to some of the best pizza In the area, and even though Tony’s is in Brooklyn, the taste was almost identical to what I remember having as a kid. The crust was perfectly cooked, nice and crunchy when you bite into it, but the flavor of the sauce combining with the quality of cheese made this pizza over the top! Not to mention as soon as I walked in, I felt like I was treated like family with a warm welcome from the owner. Next time you’re in Brooklyn looking for a great slice and let’s not forget the slushies, make sure you visit Tony’s!

    The best freaking pizza I've ever had!! Ate WAY too much pizza and gelato because I can't get this level of amazing pizza at home! I also had the pleasure of meeting Jack, one of the owners, who was the very essence of an Italian New Yorker- treats you like family, generous in spirit, and a delight to talk to!! Give this place a try, your won't be disappointed!

    I was looking for somewhere that locals eat in Bushwick and got this recommendation from a couple of college students. Apparently this is one of the originators of New York pizza by the slice. Let me tell you, I'm from Chicago and this was just as good as anything we put on a plate. I tried the Hawaiian with hot honey and loved it so much I had to get another slice. I ordered The Brooklyn and that was even better! I left stuffed and happy to have a tab of only $12 with a drink.

    Man listen.... This was the best vegan pizza I had in my life! From the sauce to the cheese, to the slight crunch, and the crust! I could have just ate the sauce itself alone! And The guy who helped me was super nice! I'm so mad I drove from MD and I should have gotten a whole pie! I'll take that 3 hour ride any day! See ya soon Tony!

    I’m not sure why but the service here is pretty inconsistent. Some days it’s good others it’s awful. I called recently to place an order for delivery and the person taking my order over the phone was extremely rude and nasty. I’m guessing a question like what is my total? Is too much to ask when purchasing food. I’ll definitely never spend my money here again! The pizza here is decent but there’s decent pizza all over the city.

    Die Pizza schmeckt hier super und die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Innen herrscht eine recht laute Atmosphäre, die Lautstärke des TVs sollte ein bisschen reduziert werden, damit man sich noch gut unterhalten kann. Nachhaltigkeit wird leider nicht so groß geschrieben, selbst der Salat zum dort essen wird in Plastik eingepackt..

    Echt gutes Essen. Der TV war etwas zu laut für das Essen in-house. Was unbedingt verbessert werden muss: wenn man in-house ist, darf nicht alles in Plastik serviert werden. Das ist in Nachhaltigkeit eine Katastrophe.

    I have been coming to Tony‘s for takeout for about two years. The quality is consistent. The people behind the counter are personable and get you in and out super quick. I only get their slices, but I am sure the rest is good. The slices are huge. Prices are fair

    Good I love this place they have clean sanitary conditions,the Sicilians are the best. They have a bathroom , provide us with toppings as well , they have added about 2 cases of cakes/pastries. One case of gelato ice cream 🍦 , which looks good 😍.

    I live in Bushwick but 25 minutes away from Knickerbocker Avenue and have never tried Tony's Pizza. Glad I finally got around to it. Nice, spacious place to relax and dine-in after shopping or whatever.

    Thanks to the chef I was able to get off work and still catch the meal myself and my wife wanted even though kitchen was closed the chef still whipped it up and did great job thanks again

    The pie was great! I was in heaven with each slice! Place was great to dine in, with The Sopranos playing in the background.

  • 1/5 Jeimy C. 6 months ago on Google
    I ordered a salad @1:20 and I always order the same salad @1:40 Tony wanted to then ask me what I actually wanted on my salad cause they made it wrong but before that I was already asked what I would like since they didn’t have the option of vegan cheddar cheese I was only had then the option of vegan mozerella . So I’ve waited about 30 min just for a salad . I’ve decided to leave because it’s already 2pm I’m really disappointed after coming here for so long . They definitely won’t be getting my money no more . On top of that they barely ever have vegan cheddar cheese

  • 5/5 kristen a. 9 months ago on Google
    Perfect pizza. Not at all greasy, so fresh, the sauce is perfect balance of sweet and sour, fresh mozz, fresh basil, garlic knots fire, and they deliver. Fantastic.

  • 1/5 Thomas G. 5 months ago on Google
    I used to frequent this place for years and even knew the owners personally. At one point whenever I'd come in one of them would make comments about my weight, job, etc. and when my mother passed away another immediately decided to unfriend me on FB. I'm never, EVER going here again.

  • 1/5 N A. 6 months ago on Google
    Ordered pasta and slices. Got there pasta not ready and sliced cold. Why wouldn’t you time that properly. Nobody like a cold slice. Also sauce is sweeeet

    I've eaten there before and they're very nice people very clean Great presentation of the food and obviously the flavor very delicious. I've also done delivery same vibes very well mannered punctual food looks good and it tastes good and the price is pretty reasonable.

  • 5/5 Erica G. 9 months ago on Google
    Order a Margarita pie and garlic knots, probably the best authentic NY style pizza I’ve had in a long while without going to the city. The sauce was perfect. Definitely will order again

  • 5/5 Sharon R. 10 months ago on Google
    I always ordered pizza from here ad it is always yummy and fresh. I absolutely love this place and the customer is great

  • 1/5 katya a. 10 months ago on Google
    The big guy with glasses always got some sort of attitude when it’s busy and I find him quite rude… I feel attacked and uncomfortable to be honest, it’s either him the owner son or the other Puerto Rican chubby dude The pizza is overall okay when it’s fresh depending who attends you.. Anyone can agree horrible customer service just discourages people from coming into the restaurant.. especially for me since I have social anxiety… I can do with out the nasty UNNECESSARY attitude…

  • 4/5 Jacob H. 9 months ago on Google
    Great pizza. They play the TV's hilariously loud and it's always something God awful, i assume as a way of deterring loitering. The MVP slice is delicious. Marinaira, vodka sauce, and pesto

  • 5/5 Katie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Edit: **came back a second time and they knocked it out of the park again. Once again just so considerate of vegan customers, so kind and friendly, we couldn’t love it here more! Amazing vegan options!!! We got vegan cheese, pepperoni, and bbq pizza and all were so fantastic. They also had vegan gelato, sorbet, AND cheesecake. We didn’t get dessert but it looked amazing and we’d go back for that for sure. Thanks so much for having vegan options!!! Also- they were super courteous about accommodating our vegan stuff… we ordered a regular slice for a friend and they went out of their way to ask if we wanted them boxed separately and to be absolutely sure what we needed to be vegan. Amazing find

    Best pizza ever! I never knew pizza could be this delicious. My mother and sister both agree! If you have someone visiting you take them here and I guarantee they will be impressed! Also a great spot for vegans! I highly recommend the vegan Buffalo pizza even if you eat meat!

  • 5/5 Harold G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pizzaria! It's the best one in the neighborhood. One day before Covid hit I took my pizza to go and started eating it on my lap across the street in that little plaza under the M/J trains. The plaza was full but I found a spot on a bench near some bushes. I was eating for about 30 seconds when a pigeon jumped on my lap and put it's disgusting claws on my pizza! Unforgettable moment.

  • 5/5 Wendy R. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered cheese pies for my daughter’s birthday at Area 53. Pizza was excellent, arrived perfect to eat and the delivery man was courteous and professional. Thank you for every single delicious slice.

  • 5/5 Teren R. 1 year ago on Google
    Today was my first time eating Tony's Pizza. A friend introduced me to the establishment. It is by far the BEST Pizza I have ever had. Whenever your on Knickerbocker Avenue, stop in and get yourself a slice or two.

  • 5/5 Wired With W. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff here was super friendly! It’s just like an old school NYC Italian Pizza Shop and restaurant. I was actually in character makeup when I went and the guy behind the counter was incredibly respectful, engaging and funny. Now the slices were fire - the margarita had some of the thickest pieces of fresh mozzarella I’ve had in a long time. The Vodka and Pesto sauces on my other slice were legit and could have stood on their own. Good prices and I’m def coming back.

  • 5/5 Venus R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best pizza in Brooklyn def have a great assortment of dishes. Definitely a New York staple. Super clean friendly environment.

  • 5/5 Jazmin M. 2 years ago on Google
    The most amazing experience I've ever had. I been going to Tony's since 11/2007. From the first time I entered Tony's they had made a impression. Theirs food is amazing, the employees are more than that cause I have grow to love them like family. It's more than just a pizziar and has always been one of the most terrific restaurant. 5 stars is not enough for our Tony's. They are truly the best , better than all the rest. I absolutely love them

  • 5/5 Alicia M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best in town! Pizza is amazing! Antipasto salad is very hard to find - I was surprised to find it on Tony's menu, and I'm proud to report that it may be the best that I've ever had. Customer service is killer too. We love Tony's!

  • 5/5 Spencer S. 2 years ago on Google
    In from out of town and visiting some friends. Came in for a late dinner and Sal helped us out. Some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. Sal, thanks for being humble and taking the time to explain the pizzas/gelato. They were both amazing!

  • 5/5 Anabel D. 2 years ago on Google
    OMG I love this pizza, so delicious. And also the chicken Caesar salad, best one I’ve ever had…. I always think of Tony’s when Im hungry lol…. Totally recommended.🍕

  • 5/5 Michael W. 2 years ago on Google
    I grew up in Bushwick, me and my friends in the 70s used to go to Tony's on a Friday night and have pizza and beer, good memories.

  • 5/5 Salaam W. 7 months ago on Google • 1 review
    The best pizza in Brooklyn. (Period)Take it from a born and raised New Yorker. Not these people that moved from Nebraska who have never had anything except dominoes and papa johns and say hello to everyone who walks down the street. This is the pizza shop of my childhood. The pizza shop where your brother/uncle/dad pours red chili peppers on your slice against your will. The pizza that will carry you through a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and go to the shop. Experience the laminate booths and the 360 mirrors and the free movies on the tv. Its not just the pizza though. The garlic knots are made with real garlic and LOVE, the most perfect fluffiest knot you’ll ever have in your life! And the WINGS!!!! Omg the wings are amazing! The best of the best(period)
