Tony's Italian Delicatessen — Restaurant in Phoenix

I’ve seen reviews about the staff being rude, and now I believe it. The experience I’ve had here today was unbelievable, and I come here quite a lot. You would think you'd get decent service from a place you go to all the time. The owner, Vincent, wanted to act like I was stealing a one dollar soda after standing there for 10 minutes plus, and I wasn't even at the counter when he took my order or my card. In fact the last time I was here I waited so long (he was helping people who came in after me) and wasted my entire lunch break, didn't even get to eat. Rolling your eyes over a one dollar soda that I genuinely forgot I was holding? Really? Trust me, I'm not that broke. I make well enough money to the point where I've even tipped this place, and they want to act like I'm stealing a dollar soda. Hilarious! Pretty childish towards someone who is more than half your age too and trust me, I don't care about the dollar. Even paid for it along with the extra card fee and he rolls his eyes at me; and looks around at the other customers trying to embarrass me. Unbelievable behavior and experience especially since I come here often. And my bad, my mind has been pretty fogged over a death in my family for that occurred less than 12 hours ago, go ahead and try to crucify me with eye rolls over forgetting I was holding a soda. Will NOT be back. Don't care how long this place has been here, I'm a salesperson and I rely on my customers as much as this man relies on his, yet will not hesitate to be incredibly rude not only to new customers but to regulars as well. Your sandwiches would be much better by the way if you didnt skimp on quality bread. Looking at the other reviews, looks like I can't take it personal since your pretty rude to a lot of other people too. Just thought you should know why you lost a customer, be nice to people and don't treat everyone like...

This is my first time here as TID was recommended to me. Walking in you can tell it’s authentic, and offers everything you might be shopping for. I was reminded of a deli back in Chicago — Bari’s on Grand Avenue. I ordered their Italian special (Large $9.85), macaroni salad ($2.00), and a bottle of Dr Pepper. My friend had the Hero ($7.55). The total + debit card fee $1.00 came to $25.45. I’ll have to double check and see that I wasn’t overcharged. The sandwich is very good; having generous slices of salami, and capocollo. They added lettuce and tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. It’s a big sandwich. They don’t cut it in half… so ask next time to see if they will. The macaroni salad is bland. No flavor as the dressing tasted of mayonnaise, and there wasn’t much of anything as celery, peppers, onions, etc. Just the noodles and taste of mayonnaise. The deli is cramped inside; no room for tables. Seating is available outside, and we had a nice day to sit and have lunch. The biggest issue here is no bathroom. You have to ask and use another business’s bathroom, and thankfully there was one. The coffee shop was closed, and the barbershop said no. If you come here, it’s best that you get your order ‘To Go.’ That is disappointing to see. Only other concern is parking. It can be limited depending on the time of day. The deli is in a strip mall that’s located by a busy intersection. If ever I’m in the area again I may stop in to grab a deli sandwich to go. If that salad was a touch better I would have scored TID higher. P.S. Of the cannolis in the case, the plain is alright. Its casing was a bit soft or soggy. The chocolate is...

If youre looking for a truly authentic restaurant, you have come to the right place. Tony's is celebrating their 55 anniversary this year! Quite the achievment and shows how beloved it is in the community. The atmosphere is so cute. Nonpublic restroom FYI. A few small patio tables for dining outside, otherwise take it to go! Now to the review...

We got two sandwiches. Two sides. and 3 cannolis.

Sandwiches: Bread is homemade and 10/10. Meat is thinly shaved and great meat. Cheese and lettuce included. Extras are mustard, mayo, tomato, oil and vinigar. overall it was a 9/10. The bread won big points for me. The sauces were minimal and not overpowering too, more points.

We orderes the Full Hot Turkey and Full Hot Pastrami sandwiches. less than 9 for a full sub can't be beaten.

Large sides of macceroni salad for around $4! The macceroni salad was good, but thin with a mild flavor. If you like think chuncky macceroni salad then its not for you. That being said, I prefer the thinner flavor. 8/10 for me.

And the winner is:Chocolate Cannoli. The cannolis are hand made fresh, shells and all. They are think and creamy and sweet. The vanilla was an 8/10 BUT the chocolate is a solid 10/10. Best Cannoli I have ever eaten. I'll be back to Tony's when I'm...
