Tony's Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in East Stroudsburg

We just moved to the area and we had a craving for pizza. So we randomly chose this place that was closest to us. We went to their website and it said if we ordered from the "Slice" app, we'd get 5% off the order. Hey; every dollar counts these days. The online ordering process was very simple and there's a spot for notes on each item. You'd be surprised how often that's an issue with other places. My wife and I are lactose intolerant, but no place in the area has a vegan cheese option. So we usually order pizza with no cheese. This time, we ordered a 12" personal pizza with "light cheese" and decided to just take pills. You can't really taste how good or bad a pizza is going to be if you only taste them modified. I ordered for pickup and got there exactly when the app said it would be ready. The girl at the counter was friendly and thorough. She put my social anxiety at ease right away by taking the reigns and walking through everything. "Here's your pizza." "Let me get the rest of your order." "This is what's in the bag." It's little things like this that make or break a situation when it comes to social anxiety and dealing with what to do if something is wrong or missing. She was great and I trusted that everything was in order. Thank you. The pizza was great. The sauce has a really good flavor, the "light cheese" was perfectly "light", and the toppings were well spaced and plentiful. The crust was standout. (It also passed the cold pizza test in the morning.) We also ordered garlic knots, falafel, fries, and zeppoles. The garlic knots were really good, the falafel was well cooked, the fries were crunchy and well seasoned, and there were so many fluffy zeppoles that had just thebright amount of powdered sugar. We'll definitely be ordering again. If I had one suggestion, it would be to add a vegan cheese option, like Violife, to the menu. No one else does it, and there's a vegan and lactose intolerant population in town that would spread the word. It would definitely make this place stand out a...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I could tell from my first bite that the quality of Tony's Pizza has declined with new management. This place was my favorite pizzeria in the country up until my recent visit a few days ago to see how things tasted after the original owners sold it to some fellow.

Nearly every superficial aspect of the restaurant remains the same. The location still offers a warm sense of hospitality and lack of pretension (unlike this review) that makes it a comforting place to dine with friends and family. In addition, there seems to be increased staff, including wait staff, and delivery personnel. The menu has also expanded.

However, at the end of the day, it's the pizza that matters and to me, it matters a lot. Tony's pizza was always so good because of the combination of crispy crust and the lovely texture, consistency and flavor of its cheese. Sometimes it could be a little greasy, but you could just let that drip right off and dig into a very awesome slice that was a delightful experience with every bite.

The slice I recently purchased at Tony's after its change in management was akin to neither the pizza of my childhood nor the pizza I bought a few months while the old management was still in operation. The crust was thin, weak, flaccid and soaked in the grease of the pizza itself, worsening its disappointing floppiness. The cheese was also noticeably thinner and did not possess the same integrity as before, an appropriate symbol of the lack of integrity displayed by the change in management, it seemed.

Perhaps I am being melodramatic. Maybe Tony's never actually was as good as I am remembering it? If so, that's still not a good reason to get the disappointing pizza at this restaurant. I can't speak to the quality of any of the other menu items, however, so far be it from me to decry the quality of the rest of the food sold here. The garlic knots still looked good. In any case, next time I visit town and meet up with friends, we'll probably take our...

I ordered twice from here and it took extremely long and I had to call multiple times. This most recent time was the worst. I ordered at 8:30 on a Wednesday night and I received a text saying it will be delivered 9:30-9:40, then I received another saying it will be about 9:50-10pm. It’s after 10pm, I still didn’t get my food and I didn’t get any phone calls. So I decide to call, no one answers because I didn’t realize they close at 10. The next day I call them right when they open and they said that they have to get in contact with the driver to see what happened with my order and to give them an hour. I call back after an hour and then they said that they haven’t gotten a hold of the driver and asked for my phone number and name and that they will get back to me. Hours go by it’s 7pm and I still haven’t gotten a call back. I call another time, I explain what happened and they said that the driver called me four times and they said to call back the next day because their manager will be there to give me a refund. I call again, then they said I can only get store credit, I take it and reorder my food. They said it will take 45 minutes to an hour. And hour goes by no food. I call again and they said the driver will leave in five minutes. I also ask for the drivers number just in case I need to get in contact with them. I gave a reasonable amount of time and a little extra for them to get to me and still nothing. I call the driver directly they said they were on their way about 15 mins later I finally get my food. It took almost 2 hours to get my food and 2 days to get things straightened out. To sum it up, I will never order from them again. Absolute worst customer service and delivery I’ve ever...
