Tony’s of North Beach

i ate at Tony’s last night recommended by a relative. I’ve got to say, Tony’s of North Beach made the best pizza I have had in a long time. The crust was so good! They prepare the dough several different ways. I had the basic margarita pizza-​it was so good! I also had the chopped salad, a little different than most. The salad and dressing were really good. The only complaint I had was the service and delivery of the food was slow and the restaurant wasn’t that busy.

Been here three times. Same result every time. Food was good. Not as good as the original location. Service was poor to very poor. Had to walk up front and ask for check on two out of three of our visits. This last time was the worst. Took 20 minutes to come see us even (and took our order then, whilst chatting with a table next to us…). It was 27 minutes to get our drinks. Less than 5 minutes and we had our appetizer, salad and one of our two entrees. SMH. Our server, her nuclear family, a couple cooks and some other guests decided they’d have a 45 min checkout process involving literally ten trips to their table and individual checks; with discounts. We were unseen this whole time and I had to walk around a three quarters empty restaurant to get my drinks, to get refills, to order a bar drink and to see about our check. Insane. If the food wasn’t decent, this would get less than a single star. Crazy when the original location in SF is so good. You also don’t get the bread/​oil selection before your meal like at other locations.

Don’t want to wait 2+ hours in North Beach to eat at Tony’s? Then, heat up to Graton to gamble a bit and eat here! The service was excellent; kudos to Chris for his friendly personality and attentiveness.
We were able to partake in Tony’s signature Margherita pizza, garlic bread, sausage appetizer, two other pizzas, and a burger. Everything delicious! The sausage was both sweet and spicy and was a welcomed surprise. The Margherita pizza was as expected and foretold. It was «wet» which can be a bit different than what most people are expecting. The burger was delicious, especially their rosemary garlic fries! We were all stuffed after gorging ourselves on the feast before us!

Our waiter Gary-​Michael was INCREDIBLE!
The food splendid!
Cannot wait to go back!!!

When reading other reviews with bad ratings I think the problem is you guys didn’t have the pizza.
I had the Butcher House, Sicilian style pizza and it was incredible! Oh how do I begin to describe this pizza the crust was thick but had delicious crispy edges, the corner slices are the best in my opinion. Each bite provided bursts of meaty flavor. The more I ate the more I really appreciated each flavor. I just wish there was a bit more cheese on the pizza and that they pushed the cheese out to the edges of the pizza. Oh and I had bottomless mimosas! Great pizza, bottomless mimosas what more could a girl ask for!
As far as the customer service, everyone was friendly and the service was prompt. They checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed and didn’t skimp on the mimosa refills. I enjoyed the ambience, décor and music. I will definitely return for more pizza.

Finally tried this place for lunch. Ambience was nice with Sinatra type music in a large ornate room. Low to medium din. My wife had the Cesar and I had the mixed green salads; we both liked our salads but noted that they were served on very warm plates right out of the dish washer; warm lettuce dimished the enjoyment of the salad; so attention to detail is not a priority here.
I had the Prosciutto and fig burger ordered medium but came it out mostly brown; it was very flavorful and still juicy nonetheless. I really enjoyed it and the garlic rosemary fries were crispy and tender. My daughter had the Calamari and liked it OK. My wife had the cheese and meat plate and she enjoyed that as well.
Portions are large here. My half salad seemed like a full sized salad. The calamari comes with a huge serving.
The pizzas people were having around us looked great. I wanted to reach over and grab a slice more than once.
We didn’t see an exterior entrance from the parking lot so we had to walk through the casino to get to the restaurant; it smells like an ashtray in the casino so it is fairly off putting but not stinky in the restaurant.
I’m going to go back for dinner. I’m hoping that I can update to a 4 star next time if my salad plate isn’t hot like it was this time.

Came in for lunch with a small group during the holidays and the place was empty. Service was friendly but a bit slow given no one was basically there. The pizzas and salads where good to very good but slightly over priced for lunch, but hey it is a casino restaurant. Probably could be a really fun place with a lively crowd and the gaming just outside the door. Probably would have given it 3.5 stars but Tony the owner was there and they guy was super nice and very knowledgeable about the food and beverage industry to say the least. He spoke to us at the bar for some time, that alone is worth at least a star. Would recommend especially if you are there gambling in the evening and get hungry.

The Man/​The Chef/​The Artist and Performer TONY. The name speaks for itself. We knew Tony Fromt Castro Valley an San Francisco. Can’t go wrong with Tony at no cost. Bön appetit

The pizzas I’ve had from Tony’s other location were wonderful. When a Groupon popped up for this location I was pleased; I could have a great pizza then I would go in the casino and be a big winner. Unlike the San Francisco location parking would be easy. I was s bit surprised that the lot wasn’t empty at lunch. The cars must have been for the casino, we were the only people at the restaurant when we were seated. There was no line to get in here for one of the 73 margarita pizzas that they prepare each day.
The restaurant is spacious with a circular bar in the center. The ambiance is different than the Columbus Street. The meal was different too. Perhaps the pizza that I’ve been thinking of for long time improved as time passed.
The service was fine. After reading the other reviews perhaps it is a problem after lunch.
I stated off with a chocolate martini. It was very good and I had another when we finished lunch. S and I shared a Cesar salad with anchovies. When it came to table they had forgotten the anchovies and it took them a while to bring us some for salad. We also shared Tony’s famous margarita pizza. I am repeating myself, but it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. They did bring additional anchovies so S could add them to his portion of the pizza. I like them too, but I wanted the pizza just as it came out of the oven.
I do think I will think I will go again, perhaps it was an off day and see if the pizza is anything like the one Tony himself prepared at his San Francisco pizzeria. Maybe he doesn’t share all his secrets with the chefs at his other locations.
5 stars in SF 3.6 in the casino.

The BEST pizza in all of Sonoma County. Hate casinos, like we do? You can enter from the parking lot and avoid the chain-​smoking gambling riff-​raffs in flip-​flops and dirty pajama pants. Several styles of pizza to choose from, Neopolitan, deep dish, — you name it! We used to go to Tony’s of North Beach in San Francisco, and it was not uncommon to wait 45 minutes for a table (and WORTH the wait). At this location, there are usually more free tables than there are diners. Service right away!

Excellent food and great service. Margaritas are amazing, calamari is fantastic. The Cal Italia pizza is one of the best pizza experiences I’ve ever had. The crust is perfect and the balance of flavors is sublime. Can’t go wrong with prosciutto, asiago, mozzarella, gorgonzola, sweet fig preserves and balsamic reduction. I’ve heard that some locals stay away from the casino because they’ve opposed it. To you folks I say, you’re missing out on world class food. My experience in Rohnert Park is that it is a culinary wasteland of chain restaurants. Tony’s of North Beach is a gem!

Great pizza, meatballs, salads, breakfast. All around a cool Place for italian food or brunch! Bottomless mimosas are delish. Sometimes i just hate Going to the casino for this place but its worth a try

Occasion: husband’s birthday
The hostess: we told her we are a party of 2, then told us it would be 15 to 20 minutes. Another couple comes in she asks for their name and their phone number and then seats to them in five minutes. We noticed that we weren’t getting sat so we asked her the estimated time again. She was apologetic and has forgotten to check us in.(-1)
Food wait time: we did not see our server for about 10 minutes after we sat. It wasn’t until the hostess asked us if we got seen yet, and told her we did not. She then called a server over. We ordered and it took OVER 35min to get our food to us. (–1)
NY Pizza: Cost: $ 27 Pretty good! The edges were burnt, (–1)but you can taste the freshness and quality of the pizza sauce! SOOOOO GOOD, but it came to the table warm (–1), and I wish it came out sooner so that it was hot! (3)
Burrata Burger: Cost:$ 16
The burger was dry and flavorless (–1) but the fries we’re perfectly cooked! It was crunchy and had great flavor! There’s only two burgers to choose from, so you don’t have much of a choice if you’re looking for burgers.
NOTE: they will charge you $ 0.75 for a small thimble of ranch (–1)
Server: very nice, but wish she paid more attention to detail. Only asked my husband to fill his soda, but not my nearly empty glass of water.
Overall: if it wasn’t for the pizza, I would have given it less than what it is. A solid 2 is what they get from me, especially since we were celebrating my husband’s birthday!

Cal Italia pizza is amazing the Meat balls Are so moist and delicious but the service stinks they really need to work on it! I tried to call my order in I was put on hold for nearly 5 minutes no one ever came back I hung up and called back four more times then the voicemail says the voicemail is off! I’d give you a five-​star in a minute if that service was up to par you’re just not that cheap for me to put up with that nonsense!

Tony’s is the best! I’ve been here several times and it was consistently excellent. The appetizer meatballs were just perfect! I also appreciate the fact their wine list is pretty affordable. The Caesar salad was as expected but I did love a new anchovy! If you’re looking for a good variety of pizza, you must try the Roman Style #2 pizza. You get 3 types of pizza: a pepperoni, a caramelized onion and a ricotta version. The last time I went on New Year’s Day, the service was very off though. I’m going to chalk it up to hungover servers :)

I had the New Yorker, a pizza that won some competition in Las Vegas, NV. It was not worth the price of $ 27 bucks I paid for it.
The first time that it came out I had to tell them that it was burnt on all the edges and the bottom looked bad as well. So I sent it back to get another one. The place was somewhat busy but not packed…
The pizza itself, pretty tasty. The sausage with the chewy texture of the pizza was spot on. The sauce was tangy and you can actually taste all the ingredients in it. The crust had a crunch too which was a huge plus for me.
Overall, I would like to eat the pizza again but for the price no.

I always end up here when coming to Graton. I love the service, drinks and food. This last time here the bartender Justin made me his signature drink the Fruit Salad I absolutely loved it! Ultimate girly drink as he called it and I did ask for a girly drink
Also if you have a very large group they have an awesome party room. With a huge long table so you and all your guest can sit together.

I was skeptical at first… but then became simply impressed. I came to lunch with my family. We all ordered 6 different things and we all shared. Toni’s of North Beach has award winning pizzas. The food can take a while to come out. But it is worth the wait. Thier large menu offer so many choices that is took me quite a while choose. Finally I decided on Sausage & Stout pizza. OMG…
I will have to make a plan to come back because there are so many other things that I would love to try.

«Meh,» is what comes to mind when I think of Tony’s. Not a bad experience, but quite blah. For me, it’s a place that tastes better as takeout or heated up the day after for dinner.
What are all those awards listed on their menus? Four total for various pizzas. That got our anticipation up, but I was disappointed. Hard to say they amount to anything. I feel like I’ve had better homemade pizza bread or from a chain like BJ’s. Calamari came out soggy and lukewarm, although the calamari itself was good. Some pieces were also way overpowered with spices. And the flavors for the pizzas we got never really came together — one was too sweet (overwhelming fig) that I couldn’t taste any other ingredient and the other was a bit bland (mainly straightforward tomato sauce, and barely that).
Service was okay. The waiters AND boss messed up on delivering orders, consecutively too. They really seemed to struggle with getting dishes to the tables, and lots of plates sat at the bar.
There’s a nice, open layout but the place isn’t bustling with any noise. Pretty quiet and lay low vibe, despite the restaurant getting full on a Sunday night.

The best service EVER! See Tim if you want an amazing dirty martini that will rock your socks. We had amazing prime rib. Thanks for the amazing service and spectacular food this place never disappoints. Tim you need a big fat raise.
