Tony's

Type of Cuisine: Italian

Location: 403 39th Street, Ogden, UT

Website: N/A

Prices: Pizzas are $6.45 (including tax) for a 12" cheese pizza and $10.40 (including tax) for a 15" cheese pizza. Add about $.30 for each additional topping. Pasta is available, but this place is not known for their pasta, so I would stick to the pizzas and sandwiches.

Review: This week I'd like to give a shout out to Tony's. I have been going to Tony's since I was a little kid and it has always been a family favorite. If you like pizzeria-style pizza, this is the place for you. Their pizza is excellent, but it contains a thinner crust; if you're looking for thick, puffy crust, this isn't the place for you. Their salads come with only one choice of dressing - House Italian. It is a vinegar and oil based dressing and it's amazing!!! There are two toppings that Tony's is famous for in the Ogden area: green olives and pepperoni. Their pepperoni is spicier than most, but it is absolutely delicious. What I really wanted to spotlight today is their meatball sandwich. This sandwich is incredible. It is huge and could easily feed two people. Instead of huge meatballs that are cumbersome to eat, Tony's tops the bread with a meatball sauce. It is a really good sauce with cut up meatballs, so it is much easier to eat. They then top it with melted mozzarella cheese, and mayo and mustard if you please. Let me just tell you that it is SOOOO good! This sandwich is a value too, costing only $4.70 (including tax), and it even comes with a large helping of potato chips. I can only usually finish half of the sandwich, which is fine by me, because then I have lunch for the next day.

Note: The restaurant has tile floors, which create quite a noisy atmosphere. Sometimes it might be advisable to get takeout if loud noises bother you.

Note: If you get the meatball sandwich, ask for foil to wrap up your leftovers in. This way you can just throw the sandwich in the oven in for about 15 minutes to warm up and the bread won't get soggy in the microwave. The oven helps preserve a bit of the crispiness of the bread.
