Tony's Pizza and Pasta — Restaurant in Bedford

Don’t be scared off by how ordinary this place looks in the corner of a strip mall. It was recommended so we tied it for both the pasta and the pizza. Both were excellent. Ours was a pick-up order, which always has risks about how the food will taste when you get home. We were pleased to find that everything was still hot and tasted great. The pasta orders came with a nice size of individual garlic breads. All pastas were well sauced. The pastas we had were Lobster Ravioli, Meat Tortellini Alfredo and Chicken Murphy. Interesting that the lobster ravioli is served over a bed of penne. I guess it adds to the size of the meal without too much lobster, but it all looked and tasted great. Alfredo with the tortellini was plentiful and spiced well with the addition of some black pepper. But the real star was the Chicken Murphy. This chicken is sauteed with fresh garlic, scallions, banana peppers & mushrooms then served in a creamy pink sauce, all served over penne. The combination created a real flavor sensation. All the pastas were too big for us to finish leaving plenty for a full second meal. The pizza we had was the Margherita whose twist on the usual was its sun-dried tomato pesto and fresh basil. Again, they created a unique flavor profile that we found excellent. The crust is very New York foldable style. Really wish this pizza came in a smaller size because it was very large so we are hoping it warms up nicely. The cannoli for dessert was the usual size and nicely presented.

Have to give it full strs because of the flavors and creativity. No experience with service other than our order was ready when we arrived and still hot, which is what you want...

I ordered chicken piccatta and their standard Hawaiian pizza.

1. The food was hot when delivered and the delivery took 5 min less than promised!
2. The pizza crust was thin and delicious. Those are the factors that contributed to this high rating. However, there were some points that need improvement. A) the piccatta was the worst I have ever tried. The sauce spilled while being delivered, also the pizza toppings slided off the crust, so maybe the order was tilted at some point. B) the flavor of whatever left of the piccata sauce was non-existing. It was liquid, sour, had no umami to it. C) when ordering online I specifically asked to replace their default penne with spaghetti or linguini, still got penne. D) their website online menu contains gazzillion of spelling mistakes (pesta, martagheritata, etc), the pricing is off. Piccatta was 11.50 online, they charged 14.50. Website needs work. E) the pizza flavor was not good out of the box and still warm. The crust was thin (which is what I like) but became soggy in that box. The red sauce lacked flavor, was just 1-dimentional sour, toppings slided off. I was not impressed. However, to the strong ethics of the owner or manager of the place, they refunded me the piccatta. And the pizza weirdly improved its flavor 2 days after, when I put it in the toaster to reheat and the crust became finally crunchy. The flavor points are personal, cannot be taken into account, because tastes differ. But factual mistakes are still...

Went here on a whim Friday night considering it had great reviews and was open late. Food took 30 minutes from the time of order so I recommend calling ahead or ordering online to save yourself time. I got a 16” spinach alfredo and chicken pizza, lobster ravioli as well as the chicken murphy. Upon picking up the order, I was immediately concerned by the overwhelmingly funky garlic smell. Initially the point where I thought it was from the chicken murphy as garlic is one of the first things listed for the dish only to discover it was from the pizza. What makes it worse is that not only did the pizza reek of garlic, but it lacked any flavor whatsoever. The spinach tasted canned, the chicken wasn’t seasoned and neither was the sauce. I ended up throwing it away after two slices because it was like eating oven baked cardboard. The chicken murphy on the other hand was very flavorful, but the sauce was rather watery and had an artificial powdered cheese like flavor associated that I didn’t anticipate. The lobster ravioli however was basically inedible. Bland was an understatement for this dish and it had hardly any “lobster” at all. Overall, this was a rather lackluster experience. Nonetheless, the staff was great and I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. Sadly, that alone is not enough to justify...
