Tony's Pizza & Restaurant — Restaurant in South Plainfield

Let me start by saying, WOW! Now, I don’t mean wow as in OMG that was the best food ever, but as in WOW, did that really just happen right now? I really wanna ask all the other people that reviewed this place what in the world were they thinking?! So let me start off by saying the BEST thing about this place, and WHY I gave it 2 stars, besides the parking, was probably the bread that they served as soon as you sit down. My expectations were already high from the reviews, but the bread began to confirm what the others said. I ordered the garlic bread with cheese with a side of sauce and the chicken parm dinner. The cheese at this place is completely flavorless! And the sauce, wow, the sauce was basically boiled water with a splash of tomatoes. VERY WATERY! Oh, and, NO FLAVOR. It is sad and it hurts for me to say this, BUT, Sbarro’s has better pasta. WOW, I never thought those words would’ve come out of my mouth. My search continues for some decent Italian food in...

Well....after the buffet next door was overcrowded we decided to try Tony's. I'm Italian, and I can tell you...you don't soak your pasta in sauce! Please don't do that. The breading on the shrimp was so soggy and the TAILS were left ON. The fact that my wife asked for unbreaded shrimp was enough to tell the waitress...send it back and make it right but instead she just didn't eat it...and the owner charged us anyways. The man just ignored us when we told them about it..Were not cheap people but we are business owners and writers.. and thats not the way you handle things. Covid or not! Don't be greedy. Were not coming back here ever again. The only good part was the server. This must be why it was DEAD in the whole restaurant... A good Italian place should be hopping with families even during this time. First impressions can last. Some chefs and owners just cant handde the criticism. Own up to your mistakes and if your that desperate for money FIX...

Always lived nearby never tried the pizza & pasta until recently and we love it. The sauce is devine, that's where it all is. Packed with super tastes. Boyfriend always plans what he wants for the next trip each time we go.

Update from recent visit: VERY ANNOYED WITH THE FACT STAFF WAS EATING AND PREPPING FOOD WITH NO GLOVES. I get it, I worked in food but come on now it's 2021 for Lord's sake. And you NEVER EVER even before covid take payment then touch food with your bare hands absolutely not. It is disgusting. I write reviews every where and I'm honest. Tony's tastes good but not worth the risk of getting sick and my boyfriend did get very bad diarrhea. I'll stick to my usual ciccio's. I'm not angry or mad and we clearly still ate the food since it did cost me a grip, just like come on let's use hygienic methods here to keep everyone safe in general...
