Tony’s Famous Tomato Pie

A bit pricy but absolutely delicious and worth it. Easily the best pizza I’ve had in Philadelphia. I’ll definitely be back

This was the worst place I’ve ever eaten. The provolone cheese on the tomato pie had no taste. Cheap cheap provolone. The pork sandwich was not too bad but again the provolone was not sharp provolone like I’m used to. My wife and sister got the veal scallopini special. Oh my God it came out as a pile of spaghetti with something on top. It surely was not veal and no sauce. Dry as dry could be. I tried it and I wouldn’t feed it to my dog. Four of our party of six had been there before but not I. Needless to say it was my first and last time ever going to this dive. If I could give it no stars I would. DO NOT GO HERE. Period

Fantastic service! $ 11.95 for a large pizza pie my coworker and I couldn’t even eat the whole pizza. The pizza was pretty good. Crust, then cheese, sauce on top the cheese, then whatever toppings you order go on last. I ate the rest of my pizza for dinner and it still tasted fresh. Great experience.

We had a large family dinner in the private room at Tony’s.With 20 adults and at least that many kids we ordered just about everything on the menu along with a continuous flow of tomato pie with nearly every combination of toppings we could imagine.
I personally enjoyed the roast pork sandwich served South Philly style. My only complaint was that it was too much food. Of course I had been sampling everything that came out of the kitchen.
The kids (and adults) all said the mozzarella sticks were the best they’ve ever had. We asked about them and learned they are fresh mozzarella rolled, seasoned and breaded daily.
I could go on and on about the food and service. Suffice it to say we will all go back.
I learned that a few weeks before our visit the restaurant had been sold by the owner of 50 years. The managing partner Henry was working while we were there. He was kind and courteous and clearly valued our business.
Old Fashioned Good (Fresh) Food and Great Service combined with a hands on owner and did I mention great service?
I look forward to my next visit.

I honestly thought this place was like a regular pizza shop. But instead it was a small restaurant. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but I had too. I was in the area and wanted pizza so this place wasn’t too far from where I was at I decided to go give this place a try. Despite all the good reviews I went and ordered pizzas .
I ordered a large pepperoni pizza and one with four toppings. That was the only size they had. For what I’ve paid for the pizza was not worth it. It felt like the way they’ve made my pizza, it was rushed to be put in the oven. Very thin crunchy crust pizza with extra tomato sauce on it, it was very bland. Not the best pizza I’ve ever had in Philly. Sorry to say but I won’t be returning.

Came here tonight craving a tomatoe pie, as I live in Delaware now and don’t get to Philly too often. Very disappointed and very let down. Pie was burnt and covered in oregano. If I want oregano on my pie, I will put it on myself. Just like garlic and ref pepper flakes. Those are things a person will add on their own. I also ordered a roast pork, and broccoli rabe sandwich to eat while waiting for pie. The broccoli rabe served on the sandwich, was ice cold, and the juice on the sandwich, was room temperature at best. Had to pay for fries on the side. $ 3.95 for 10 fries. Which was actually the best part of the meal. So basically, I paid $ 40 for French fries.

Not bad. Definitely not «The Best». The crust was bland. Tasted like an unsalted Saltine cracker. At least the sauce was good. I’d go back.

I’ve been eating here since I was born. Live in lower Merion now, still go at least once a month. Parking can be a challenge but it’s worth it!

Another stop on my pizza tour of the city. I wasn’t really impressed, as the pizza tasted like matzo. I do love flatbread, but the flavor was just so off-​putting. I plan on coming back to try the pizza again, and hope that it’ll be better next time.
it was also freezing cold inside; I overheard my waitress saying something about a window in the back that needs to always be open. If that’s the case, then the heat should be turned up so that the patrons can be comfortable. I would’ve hung around a bit had it not been for the temperature.

It’s not bad for NE Philly. Like the thin crust. The sauce needs a little more spice for me. People are good and service is okay.

I miss your Tomato pie with cheese .Can you ship one to Oregon.

The pizza was good, but Al Shams over on Bustleton is better.
I got a $ 12 mushroom and pepper pizza. I was unaware of any Monday discount, and I did come between 6 and 10. Maybe because I got two toppings they didn’t give it to me. If I had known then about that discount, which I am now seeing here on Unilocal’s, I would have requested it.
I biked over 2 miles to Tony’s at 9:30 PM. and they told me they were closing, so i couldn’t dine in, and I had to bike back with the Pizza. Now i am checking the closing time and online it says that they close at 11. There were two other people at a table and I think one more customer at the bar. At first the cook and I think a waitress said that I could stay, but then another person said that they were closing, and then the cook agreed. I wasn’t going to argue with them, so I left.

Delicious thin-​crust pizza. Tomato pie with fresh garlic and extra cheese is my fav! Monday and Wednesday they have half off their pies when you dine in.

One of my favorite pies in Philly. I’m not a fan of any of their other dishes to be honest, but the pizza is enough. It’s relatively cheap & super tasty. Thin & crispy crust. To get the full experience, you’ve gotta eat there so you get the pizza fresh out of the oven. Have an icy cold draft beer while you wait & enjoy one of the best tomato pies in the city. I grew up going here & eventho I moved out of the city, I still come back for Tony’s. FYI — I think it might be cash only.

One of my favorite places to get a tomato pie. Can’t beat Monday half price!
The white pie with bacon is also a really good option. Get both, and take the rest home to eat later!

Great place to enjoy one of the best tomato pies in the area. Excellent service and the back room is very quiet if you wish to conduct business over a few drinks and a tasty pie! This place is an institution of Mayfair and many who have moved away admit to missing their Pizza the most!

Unprofessional establishment! Went with family for St. Pattys Day dinner which has been a family tradition for almost 30 years. An off the clock employee threatened to beat up a 75 year old grand father, and was screaming at a family with a baby, all of which was completely un-​provoked. The food is great but i suggest take out. The owner would not accept that his employee was wrong. 99% of the employees are great and very friendly, I hope this employee is the only exception.

Sincerely,
Just get takeout

Great classic pizzeria! Very old school interior, but the pizza’s great! I love a light and thin pizza and this is perfect for me. In addition, I also love the crunchiness of the crust. Everything else on the menu is generally pretty average but I gave it the 4^th star bc of how incredible the pizza is, especially for a local place.
Definitely recommend going in for a slice and a beer if you’re in the area.

Outstanding pizza! Tony’s pies are upside down typically. The sauce and cheese combo are delicious. The crust is thin and crispy. There half and half pies are you the best way of both worlds. You get half cheese on top and half sauce on top.
The staff meeting is great and Tony’s is a northeast staple.
Mondays are half priced pies too!

I have lived close to Tony’s for a few years now, and for some reason had never tried it before. I’m glad I definitely got around to trying their pizza.
I picked up a plain tomato pie last night. This is not the Italian style tomato pie, it’s the «sauce on top of cheese» kind, which I quite like. This was probably the best execution of this style of pizza I’ve seen. The sauce had a lot of flavor, the crust was thin and crispy, but still thick enough to hold together and not so crispy that I felt like I was eating cracker pizza.
The only thing I really hate is that it’s cash only, and the parking is a real drag.
There’s a divey little bar and a few tables inside too. Maybe next time I’ll eat in and grab a beer or two.
