Tony's Little Italy

"Visited this place after reading great reviews. Absolutely amazing staff and pizza. Perfectly baked pie with slightly crisp edges, generous amount of sauce and toppings. I can’t say enough good things. The staff was very friendly and pleasant and made me feel right at home. I can’t wait to return on a future visit."

"Good, but did not live up to the reputation. Tons of cheese and sauce. They know how to cook the crust so it’s not soggy on the bottom. But overall the deep dish isn’t super flavorful. However, it is good value for money. We had 3 hungry guys split the large with one piece left over. As others have said, it is best to order ahead. The deep dish is made to order and takes 45 minutes. You can also tell them you plan to eat there and they will reserve a table for you. However, Tony’s needs a better system for reserving tables. We were told there should be one available for us soon. So when one of them was vacated, we took it. We were then told we were not first in line. Would be easily solved by a number system"

"If you want to eat made-to-order, authentic and tasty Chicago style deep dish pizza. This is the place to go in the OC/LA area. Service is top notch and personable. The pizzas are soooo good and also they make good pasta and chicken wings if you want some variety. A big tip eating here is make sure you call ahead to order in before you come because each pizza is freshly made and takes about 45 minutes to make."

"If you want to eat here, it's better to order by phone in advance. Food takes a long time, so if you take your time after ordering, you can eat it right away. The pizza is real Chicago pizza. It has a very delicious cheese flavor and I ordered a small size, but I was full after just eating one piece. And the Manicotti I ate with it was perfect. The staff were also nice. There are no straws in the store, so anyone who needs them should bring their own. The atmosphere of the store is also cute and fun. Recommended if you want to eat traditional Chicago pizza."

"The only pizza place to eat at. Authentic Chicago Deep Dish pizza 10/10 I was not ready to be blown away by Tony's Deep Dish Stuffed Chicago style Pizza, but I was. Ordering takes about 45+ minutes, but trust me it's worth the wait. Made by Tony himself, I had a huge medium pizza with Pepperoni, sausage, onions, and bell peppers. I've never been to Chicago but I've seen how the style is made. I also believe I don't need to actually GO to Chicago to try authenticity when it's in my own County. The pizza came out and looked gorgeous. If you've never had Chicago style before, the sauce is on the top with sprinkles cheese and glimpse of your toppings. Picking up that first slice had me in a trance, seeing all the ooey gooey authentic Wisconsin mozzarella. It was the perfect temperature, hot but not roof-of-mouth destroying. Eating it was so satisfying, each bite was flavorful and I enjoyed getting every topping from the stuffed middle, to the top. Whatever brands of meat and veggies they use are better than any other shop or big corp name I've been to. Vegetables were very fresh and crisp, I couldn't get enough of the pepperoni and sausage. The bread/crust were a beautiful golden brown- has a slight crunch to it. Marinara was robust and flavorful. If you're looking to dine in, come quick because seats fill up fast and it's relatively small- I'm sure with ordering takeout you'll still enjoy all the immense, delectable flavors at home. Tony and his crew are super friendly and welcoming, sure to give you outstanding customer service. Bring your family, friends, and whoever else to Tony's Little Italy Pizza, it blows the competition out of the water! I'll be back again, hungry for more.
