Thought I had the best pizza in DE when I visited Pizzaria Maki but my mind was quickly changed yesterday. I went to Tony’s yesterday after seeing a video on Instagram and was highly impressed. Although the establishment is not that large inside, there is seating available. I was going specifically for the chicken caesar pizza I saw on IG and before taking that 40 minute drive, decided to call ahead to ensure they had it. When I first called, the women who answered told me they didnt have it. However, I received a return call 2 seconds after disconnecting from the initial call advising they could make it for me. They had 2 slices of white pizza left and used those to make it. Once we arrived, we were greeted by the ever so sweet Dhara. Im unsure of her position at this place but I will say her customer service is on point. I told her I was the person who called for the chicken caeser pizza and also ordered a few other slices for my husband and daughter. We decided to dine in. We were told we could sit wherever we wanted and they would bring the food to us when it was ready. My husband ordered a veggie pizza and my daughter ordered classic cheese. Theirs arrived to the table first and mines arrived shortly after. When I say my entire face lit up when my slices arrived! I ordered two not thinking they were be as large and filling as they were but boy was I wrong. I was only able to eat one slice. When I say the pizza was perfection I mean it. Combining two of my fave foods (pizza + chicken caesar salad) was literally heaven lol there was so much grilled chicken on top, drizzles of ceasar dressing, lettuce, and parm cheese as well. It tasted so fresh! This place literally met every single expectation I had and was well worth the drive. Between the food being so amazing and the customer service being even better, this will not be my last time taking the drive for Tony’s Cafe. You can tell this business takes pride in making their customers happy and I love it. To top it off, when Dhara found out it was our first time visiting and how far of a drive we took, she gave my daughter a canoli. Being from S. Philly, I’m no stranger to cannoli’s. When I say this is the best one i’ve had yet, I mean it. Dont believe me, I urge you to try for yourself! I promise you won’t be disappointed. Tony’s Cafe is for sure one of my new...

The cheesesteak is the best I've had in probably 15 years. Orders of magnitude better than anything I've ever had in Philadelphia, South Jersey, Maryland, and anywhere else in Delaware. I don't know where Tony's gets it's rolls, or if they make them themselves. But these are incredible. Perfectly airy, yet having a perfectly crunchy baked exterior. The steak itself is of much higher quality than the vast majority of cheesesteaks I've had; and perfectly cooked and seasoned. I could not imagine finding a better cheesesteak.
The pizza is a true New York style. Thin, but not too thin, crust. Generous toppings. And delicious low acid sauce.
The wings are naked, and exactly what belongs with pizza. Nothing overcomplicated. Just perfectly fried with a perfectly balanced buffalo sauce. (I really appreciate the fact they take the effort to properly ventilate the container so the wings don't get too soggy. It's that kind of attention to detail that can really make an incredible difference).
My girlfriend and I were also given some complimentary bruschetta while we waited for our take out order... like everything else, this was amazing.
Tony's food, and clear attention to detail by the owner and staff, make it truly deserving of a much bigger restaurant. While slightly small, the seating area is still very comfortable and not cramped.
I am wildly impressed, and will definitely be...
Read moreReceived a gift certificate from a friend and I had not heard of Tony’s cafe. Decided to use the gift certificate tonight to celebrate my sisters birthday and my positive results from the doctor. This place is so cozy and friendly. We sat at a two chair table but when we placed the order, the server made sure we knew that the table would be too crowded for what we ordered so she cleaned a table and we moved. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach so of course there are leftovers but I know once it’s warmed up again the flavors are gonna POP!!! Of course we had to have dessert - cannoli and cheesecake. So fresh!!!
As we were leaving, the owner, Dara, thanked us for coming and we informed her that it was our first time. She said wait and came out with a chocolate bomb dessert. First time customers usually get a free cannoli but since we already had one, we got the bomb instead.
Highly recommend checking this little cafe out. You won’t be...
