Tony's Bistro

We received completely raw chicken tenders. The food was returned and staff seemed unconcerned. We were apprehensive to order from here again because on two separate occasions this summer my husband and I ate here and got food poisoning the following day, we were unsure, and maybe in denial that it could have possibly came from here since it's hard to connect which food it truly came from. However, I can't say confidently that it didn't come from here either at this point. There is nothing that could be done to incentivize us to continue to ordering from here, and no apology that would return our business.

Tony's is a local Italian restaurant in Newark along Chestnut Hill Road (DE 4) in a shopping plaza anchored by the local Shoprite. The dining area is basic, mostly what you'd expect from a local restaurant. However, the decor could use a little bit of an update and then it'd be just right. The menu features what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant in the orbit of Philadelphia - pizzas, pastas, strombolis, etc. and have a great variety of different pizzas. For my meal, I went with a vegetarian pizza (spinach, tomato and ricotta cheese) and an order of garlic bread. The pizza itself was pretty tasty and the ricotta made a good contrast to the mozzarella on the pie itself and the vegetables were generally nice and fresh. The crust was also pretty decent as it could hold the slice and

Nice neighborhood pizza joint. Definitely changed hands in the last few years (no updates to the interior, 90s throwback vibe). Pizza was hot and the crust was tasty. It’s a chill, seat yourself kinda place otherwise take out or delivery works too. *The menu lists beer options however none is available.

Pizza was very good. Great crust, and I usually don’t eat the crust. The issue was the cleanliness of the place. So dusty and dirty. See the pics…. The ceiling has never been cleaned makes me wonder about the kitchen. But the pizza was very good so there’s that. I probably won’t go back.

Stromboli was good, pizza was decent, chicken parm was bland.
