It's so challenging to find an excellent pizza place these days but Grandpa Tony's is that and so much more. The staff are exceptional and have a wonderful comradariery with each other. It was really hot when I went in and ordered a pie. I had to wait and the host was so nice he offered me ice water. It may seem like a small thing but gestures like that mean so much. And my pie was perfectly cooked. Beautiful fresh mozzarella cooked but not burnt. Exceptional!!

We love Grandpa Tony’s! The food is delicious and the staff goes above and beyond! We hosted our baby’s first birthday there last week and it was wonderful! From the planning, to the setup, and the wonderful team serving on the day of the party-everything was perfection. Joe, the manager, was easy to work with and helped us bring our vision to life! All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was! We are looking forward to hosting more celebrations there in the future and going back for dinners. Thank you Grandpa Tony’s!

We were there for a 45th birthday party. The service was excellent. We were in the outdoor/indoor area and had about 30 people there. Scott was on top of everything... and now knows what a John Daly is! The food was absolutely amazing. The drinks were flowing. I can't wait to go there when I can order what I want and not what we had (even though everything was great) because, as previously stated, it was a party. I was foolish not to take pictures of the first few courses because everyone was starving, so I couldn't get a picture quick enough. We started with a thin brick oven (and must have wood burning) pizza, then out came baked clams. They make it almost as good as my mother's... they use panko as opposed to my mother, who uses regular breadcrumb and then the calamari. They serve the squiggly's too, which I love. Then a salad with what I'm guessing was a house made Italian dressing. The next was a trio of entrées that came out, and it was Penne ala vodka, Chicken Francaise, and Shrimp Francaise. The vodka suace was good and plenty of prosciutto. The francaise both were amazing. The chicken was so soft you could cut with a fork, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. Then out cam
