Tosca Stone Oven Pizzeria

The food was terrible, especially the pizza that included raw zucchini. Even the dishwasher knows that zucchini needs to be precooked before using as a topping.

Can I say one thing YUM! My review is based on pick up not dining in.
1.Calamari– it’s good not great only bec it was to go and packaged made it soggy (not their fault) Also prefer marinara not the chipotle sauce but personal pref.
2. N. Shore Ciopinno Comes w mussels, bay scallops, clams, and shrimp. UGH THE BEST I WANT MORE! I couldn’t eat the whole portion so nice amount in a flavorful tomato based broth
3. Shrimp Diavolo– shrimp, spinach, feta, tomato based cream sauce sooooooo good I sub the penne pasta and they have a ton u can choose from including Gluten-​Free
I wish I would had taken pictures but I was sharing and dismembered my plate before I realized I didn’t take pics. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back and try the pizzas

We had a fantastic time at Tosca. We ordered the calamari, a margarita pizza, cheesecake and the tiramisu. Everything came out excellent and the service was very fast! If I’m ever in El paso again this will be my first stop.

We arrived early with few tables filled. Our waiter was also the bartender so our drinks were slow in arriving. The Italian egg rolls were very tasty. The pizzas were tasty, though I’m use to more chewy crust being from New York. We also ordered the knots for dessert. They were scrumptious. They are made to order and we waited a good 20 minutes! We ordered two orders because the waiter neglected to tell us there were 6 knots in one order. Next time, I’ll place my order early to avoid the wait. We’ll go back and try some of the other menu items. If service weren’t so slow, I’d give them 4 stars.

Driven by this place so many times and finally made it there with my Bff. We shared 2 dishes to get a variety of tastes, and both were very good. Green chile chicken Alfredo was awesome and so was the sausage lasagna. Good sized portions and reasonably priced. Also had a decent sized bar completely separated from dining room. Best thing is that unlike most local Italian they stay open until 11 pm on Friday & Sat for those later nights you happen to be out late and have a hankering for Italian!

Great pizza on West Side! Stone oven pizza with in house made crust, sauce and fresh ingredients… Paleo options for those of you following the eating plan…
Average lunch prices 5.00−13.00 with a pizza and pasta special daily which includes drink and salad or soup.
Great flavor and friendly staff… recommend trying it.
Separate dinner menu which includes steak and seafood options

We had a good experience– lots of beer selection and fairly priced bottles of wine. We opted for the bottle of wine, was pretty good for the price. I had the chicken salad and side of spaghetti. The salad was great– chicken was perfectly cook and I normally don’t order breaded chicken but this was good! The spaghetti was not spaghetti– it was more like fettuccine and did not come with sauce. I think they had butter on them. A little bland, but I asked for marinara and they were better. I wouldn’t order this again. My husband ordered the pepperoni pizza and was VERY happy!

We have been to Tosca at least a dozen times since it opened and have never been disappointed. We’ve been there with our kids, our parents, and by ourselves — often for special occasions and everyone has found a dish they love. My wife and I always order the Pistachio Chicken and the Alaskan Salmon — my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Date nite Me & the Hubby
We stumbled upon this place it’s located in a Plaza there is plenty of parking its a huge lot shared by other business a plus that it’s well lit. As you walk in its clean the décor is modern. towards the left side of the restaurant which is nicely separated but can be clearly seen there is a bar. We were seated quickly which I liked the waiter Arron came to out table fairly quickly excellent customer service took our drink order and kept the refills flowing without us even having to ask brownie points the pizzas are 10 inches with (6) slices they also have a 16 inch pizza available all the pizzas here are cooked in a Stone Oven and are cooked fast I loved how quick we got our order my hubby ordered (The Big Island) which has red sauce, cheese, fresh sweet pineapple, ham, & bacon it was delicious the ham and bacon was tender and full of flavor the cheese was gooey, and creamy it was perfect. I got the (Four Cheese) I requested the red sauce, instead of the white sauce, it has provolone, parmesan, feta, and basil I added sun dried tomatoes, it was a great added topping my pizza was so darn yummy OMG! It was not a heavy crust it was just right the flavor was there it was cooked perfectly not like other crust that feel like a lump my dough in your tummy every bite I took tasted better than the last bite you would have thought it had a meat ingredients on top, but it didnt need it all the flavors were there the combination of cheeses, vegetables, and sauce were on point it was robust and enticing.
It was So Damn Good I ordered a 16inch perfect pepperoni, and added parmesan, basil, and sun dried tomatoes for tomorrow.
I am definitely coming back when your craving pizza cooked in a Stone Oven this is the place.
FYI. They Give a 10% MILITARY Discount that’s Awesome!

5 stars?! Yes. Okay. It may be because this is the first time I’ve eat in over 29 hours! (I’m like the snickers commercials when I don’t eat, so that’s a HUGE deal)… if that’s the case and a second check in changes my opiniom, I’ll update my review…
Anywhoo. I came on a Thursday. 3:30−4 o’clock-ish. The waitress didn’t tell me right off the bat, but asking about specials I was informed it was happy hour: $ 1 off drafts (of which they had plenty, mostly stouts and IPAs), $ 1 off glasses of wine, and $ 10 select bottles of wine. I was planning on just getting a glass, but couldn’t pass up a good deal. I got a whole bottle for myself. (They re-​cork if you can’t finish it all).
It’s a pizza place… but I’m picky about pizza. So I went with pasta. I got Triple Mac & cheese (3 chiles + 3 cheese + parmesan bread crust) and Chicken Parmesan (spaghetti + breaded chicken + spicy lemon caper sauce)… it was A LOT OF food. And I ate it all.
The mac and cheese ce out with the cheese still bubbling! Hot and cheesy. The parmesan crust was perfectly crusty, and it came with a couple pieces of bread on the side. Not just normal bread. some kind of cheese and herb toasted bread. OMG– my favorite thing!
The chicken parmesan was good, but a red sauce instead of the lemon sauce would’ve made it great… (spaghetti –with normal red sauce– is ma thang!) So after trying a bite and realizing this, I ordered it on the side and plopped it right on top. The lemon sauce was so light that the red overpowered it. And that was exactly what I wanted! With a couple more slices of bread to accompany everything, I ate every bite! Soo good!
After wine, after Mac and cheese, after chicken parmesan… I was stuffed. So naturally, I ordered dessert. Crème brûlée AND a double scoop of Salted Caramel ice cream. I had to ask the brand of ice cream. unfortunately (or fortunately, who knows) it was one of those industrial sized, made for restaraunt things of ice cream. wouldn’t fit in my freezer :(
So. yeah. 5 stars. I left a happy camper. And didn’t break the bank.

UPDATE! So I’m back again. When I was here the first time I entered a raffle. Got a call today. I won! $ 25 gift card… time to spend it!
Not changing the starz. Still 5. Got the imperial stout glazed wings. The glaze was sticky sweet, not bad, but would’ve been better if they had some spice. Then the chicken parm. Yes, same as last time. But JUST marinara, no lemon caper sauce. Just as good as I remembered!
For dessert (yeah, too full to finish my food, but still HAVE to have dessert) Forget Me Knots with chocolate dipping sawce and Salted Caramel Ice Cream (again). Get it all together… and eat a bite of everything at once. You have to. It’s the best!
ANOTHER UPDATE!
So. I just had dinner at a terrible restaurant and now I’m craving dessert. So here I am. At Tosca. I walked in. Without looking at a menu asked for a bottle of wine that was «Kool Aid sweet but not Kool Aid sweet» (yes, those were my exact words) and a dessert that was hot and cold and chocolate and fruity. Wish I remembered my waitress’ name because she was PERFECT! Didn’t even question any of my absurd, pretty bitchy requests (not just «pretty». but «extremely»). Just delivered! Also, the owner, Gustavo, came out to shake my hand. Such a nice guy!

Great calzone and one of the best cheesecake I have had in quite some time. Did not care for their garlic triangle bread.

My wife and I had the Italian eggroll appetizer, two pizzas, and two orders of «forget me knots» desert. We ate in the bar/​grill area. I personally like the grill atmosphere more than the main dining room. They have a great selection of microbrews. I counted 22 taps. The waiter offered several samples of the microbrews. All the food was tasty, however the timing of the deliveries were poor.
We waited forever for the Italian eggrolls and they were delivered two minutes before the pizzas arrived. The eggrolls had sat in the kitchen for sometime because they were warm but not fresh hot out of the fryer. Our dessert was also very late being delivered to the table. The fried dough was barely warm when it arrived. Again, it sat for a long time in the kitchen before the waiter brought it to our table.
All of this would’ve been understandable if it was a busy night. However, there were only four tables in the main dining room occupied and only one other table in the grill area. To put it in perspective, that’s less than 20% of the capacity of the restaurant. I can’t think of any great excuses for them.
This is a great location, they have tasty food, but they have to fix the timing between the kitchen and their waiters.
I’ll go back again and give them another chance. Really want this restaurant to work.

Second time here. So far, so good. First time ordered the spinach sun-​dried tomato pizza, and imperial wings on the side. Pizza was great! Wings were solid. Price is good, about 12 bucks for a personal pizza, and 6 – 8 bucks for draft beer. What? Yes, draft beer, and a darn good selection at that. If their draft selection does not wet your palette, then they have an even an extensiver selection of bottled beer.
Ordered calamari for the second time to break the beer and basketball game habit. Calamari was great, beer was greater. I think i found my new spot to watch the game. Granted, game was on national telecast, need to find out of they carry the basketball packages, and get this marriage on the road.

This restaurant is one of the best I have eaten in since coming to El Paso. The service is really good and I didn’t have to wait long for my food. Probably around 15 – 20 minutes from ordering to at the table. My son loves the 4 cheese white pizza and I thought my calzone was excellent. Here is the only down side to the visit. Their 3 cheese Mac and cheese sounds delicious and when it gets to the table it looks every bit of awesome. However, it was not! Tasted like plain, unflavored macaroni underneath the topping they bake onto it. Maybe it was just an off night for that dish but I wasn’t impressed. I won’t hold it against them to much because everything else was excellent. Dessert choices were good as well. Prices will range from $ 15 – 30 a person. Go out and try this place you’ll like it a lot!

Great food I recommend it. All the food is so fresh. I recommend the new burgers they ar ed awesome.

My husband and I visited this place for the first time and it was amazing. The food was delicious. We started with the calamari and it was crispy and perfect. We also tried the Hawaiian pizza and the pepperoni pizza. Both were delicious. The cheese to sauce ratio was on point, and its nice that you get to see your pizza being made in the fire oven. It was even nice to see the guy making the pizza tossing the dough in the air. I loved everything about this resteraunt. The waiter was friendly and so was the staff, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food was great. I cant wait to go on another date and try something new!

I’ve always been a fan of Tosca; however, I hadn’t been in awhile. Let me tell ya though, I went twice this week because it was so good! Both times that we went, we had incredible service. Seriously, both servers were incredibly on-​the-​ball, hospitable, and offered great suggestions as to what to order.
The more obvious go-​to idea for what to order at Tosca would be pizza. I challenge you to try something else though! The classic lasagna is the bombdotcom! The sausage in it is super flavorful and delicious. It is a large serving, so ordering that and a salad or appetizer and splitting everything would be a good way to go.
As far as appetizers are concerned, the pita bread with hummus and roasted veggies is so flavorful! They are plenty generous with it, and my grandma, who is normally very hard to please at any restaurant, was raaaving about how delicious this appetizer is!
Another menu highlight is the steak and mushroom ravioli. Once again, phenomenal flavor. They serve all of their pasta dishes with bread that has baked on fresh garlic spread and butter. It’s soooo good.
I’m sure this is only the tip of the iceberg– you’ll have to try for yourself!
Also, it is good for groups. They serve a wide variety of craft beer. Wine options are a bit more limited, but there’s something for everyone!

This is a nice, quick pizza joint. I came in on a quiet Tuesday evening. Got two for Tuesday house red wine (pretty good house cabernet actually). I ordered standard pepperoni pizza but added jalapeños. They gave me option of pickled jalapeños or fresh cut. I chose fresh cut. I really liked the pizza. It was thin but had a crispy crust. I thought the pizza had a good meat to pizza ratio. The added jalapeños were very fresh and good thick slices. Due to their size, the jalapeños didn’t really bake into the pizza and were quick to tumble off. But ah well (first world problems). Oh and they provide ranch if you want it. I find that nicer pizza places can be uppity about us ranch eaters. Not Tosca thankfully :)
Tosca has an interesting ambience. It has a commercial presentation in the front but has intimate elements in the back. I would recommend it for a casual first date. I really liked the background music they were playing. Someone is a hipster back there controlling the music. At one point I heard «Bang Bang She Shot me Dead» from Kill Bill. But it was a really cool classical version of the song!
As I’m quickly finding in El Paso, I was pleasantly surprised by the large drink selection available (both wines and beers were fairly extensive).
I really liked Tosca and will def be back!

It was a long wait tonight and the waiter was feeling terrible for the delay and gave these wonderful treats on the house even though I told him it was okay. Very classy place and filled with kind people. The green chile chowder was exquisite and the calamari is to die for.
Service with a smile will get them everywhere and the food is just the best in the borderland.

One of my favorite lunch places near work. I’d call this place Italian-​esque, but you’ll find the food here often has regional influences. You can expect quick service, great food and a pleasant experience overall. I have yet to have a bad meal here. I’m a fan of the Bacon Blue pasta, Green Chili Chicken Alfredo pasta and the Vesuvio calzone. Tosca does a great job of combining different flavors that work well together.
Update: I changed my review from 4 starts to 5. I started thinking about my reviews, generally, and figured I was being tough on stars. The fact that this is a place I love going to, I’d say they’re 5 stars in my book.
