Brick Oven Pizza Staten Island

Staten Island and Pizza, it makes people go crazy, you agree?  When we sampled out the topic and post ‘Favorite Pizza on Staten Island’ on a main facebook page, guess what happens?  Everyone gets involved to plug in their favorite local pizzeria.

What happens when there is a little twist, and we search for Staten Island’s favorite Wood Burning Brick Oven Pizza?  Only a few main contenders can involved, only a few pizzeria’s across the borough use wood to cook the pizza and the taste is great.

We’ll focus this article on a neighborhood classic, located in Rosebank section we have Tony’s Brick Oven pizza which seems to be loved by many, after a post of the similar question on the main facebook pages, Tony’s came up the most times out of any other pizzeria on the island.

So our team went to check out what’s good at this eatery and we were very surprised on what we found.

The atmosphere was very casual and friendly, easy place to stop in and sit down for a relaxing lunch or dinner.  Tony’s serves beer and wine as well as provides some table service.  The menu and awning states that Tony’s is a Pizzeria, Trattoria Italiana with Mouth watering Italian Specialties.  Overflowing Hot & Cold Sandwiches.  Delicious Calzones & Rolls.

The counter displays many delicious specialty slices which you can tell are just fresh out of the oven, some places just make it look so good and this neighborhood pizzeria sure is one of them.

The Brick Oven Pizza is right on the menu and prices are slightly higher than when it’s cooked in a regular oven, reason is bundles of wood cost more than gas, but the taste is well worth it.  Have you ever barbecued your burger at your camp site?  Tasted the difference, well it’s the same for pizza, it just cooks better, tastes better and even sounds better.

Margherita, Quattro Stagioni, Capricciosa, Puttanesca, Vodka Sauce, White Pie, Contadina, Clams, Personal Pie, La Folle, Primavera is all served from the wood burning brick oven.   A personal pie which is 4 slices at $10.50 is a tipping point of price, but it’s worth it, every bite.

Tony’s Brick Oven also serves regular pizza, Stuffed Pies, Pizza Pan Pies, Baked Dinners, Stromboli’s and Calzones.  A Huge collection of Hot Sandwiches fills up the menu with items like Veal, Sofia, Chicken Cutlet, Cheesesteak Sandwich, Peppers & Eggs.  The Cold Sandwiches feature items like the Italian Combo.  Appetizers & Salads, Pastas, Seafood Specialty menus, Entrees like the Chicken Adriatico which is served with Ziti, Linguine or Penne or substitute pasta for a side of veggies.

Locals also love their Outside-Off-Premise Catering, Which gives you a choice of 4 items plus bread for $13.95 a person.  Items that you choose from are Eggplant Parmigiana, Ham and Pineapple, Mini Rice Balls, Stuffed Shells, Veal and Peppers, Mussels, Calamari and more.

Another fascinating item we discovered on their menu was the “Over-Stuffed!” Delicious Cold Platters & Heros, available as 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Foot!  Remember your one day notice as it takes time to prepare this type of food.

And before we take you to the menu, this is the message from Tony’s All Items are Made Fresh to Order.  Delivery time is usually 30 to 45 minutes.  Please be patient, we will provide our superior service to every customer.  WE appreciate your patronage and look forward to pleasing you.

Sponsored Staten Island Pizza Tour

A Sponsored Pizza Tour.  Many Pizzeria’s on Staten Island, Which one’s should you try?

Let’s get to the Tour (Note: only sponsors are included in this tour, you can click links of their name to enter their restaurant page with Menus & Photos & User Reviews, Enjoy)

There are many great pizzeria’s around the borough, you can almost say it’s non-stop pizza parlors every single shopping plaza and commons center of Staten Island and we will agree most are great, serving decent slices of pizza, offering quick bites to full family dinners for great prices.  Most Pizzeria’s provide convenient and free delivery service with very small minimums, especially during day time hours,  getting a pie, slice or a chicken roll is never a problem, finding the good ones sometimes is.

On the South Shore we have Fratelli Pizzeria which offers Family Style dining in their new eat-in dining room with wait staff table service, Fratelli offers great specials each night of the week, they vary from Pasta Nights to Kids Eat Free, Traditional Lunch Specials.  This restaurant is known for being the neighborhood go-to for family dining and has also been reviewed by the Staten Island Advance which was famed for being “Staten Island’s Newest Hot-spot”

On the other side we look at My Family Pizza on the North Shore of Staten Island, everyone already loved My Pizza for always having fresh Specialty Slices, when they opened up on Castleton Avenue, there was no doubt that this well established community would love this place.  Another nearby pizzeria from nearby locations is NY’s Best Pizza (New York’s Best Pizza), the pride that went into the place and quality of the ingredients has impressed us from the start, non to forget about the cars that they had specially made to represent the pizzeria with large pizza’s flying in the sky, it’s impossible to miss when they are delivering to your neighbors.

An important new style of Pizza’s came to Staten Island during the past two years, Authentic Recipe Sicilian Style Pizza, the other side of North Shore we have Original Sicilian Pizza in which when you try a slice you are guaranteed to love it and also remember to try their spumoni while you relax outside with their outdoor tables.  On Richmond Avenue we have Sharkey’s Square with a similar concept of being established and loved by visitors for their Square Slice, in addition they serve Uncle Louie G’s Authentic Ices.

Looking at the Lower Part of Staten Island, we have some great Pizza Selections around here, entering Staten Island you have a choice of Paul’s Pizza and Pasta located right next to Sand Lane.  When you enter, you will be impressed by the various number of specialty slices they serve, always looking neat and well prepared, but the taste and the quality of ingredients, you’ll grow fond of Paul’s and become a regular patron, especially if you are in the neighborhood.  Driving further down Hylan, towards the South we are welcomed by Brooklyn’s Finest, a recently opened pizzeria which has famed items from Brooklyn which you can very rarely find in the average Pizzeria, Have you tried the Panelle Special, sandwiches are named of Brooklyn Neighborhoods, to give it that particular ‘Brooklyn-Feel’, The Mill Basin, Cobble Hill, Park Slope are all found on the menu under sandwiches.

We also can’t forget about the just opened Grandma’s Pizza on Bay Street also promising to use great quality ingredients and offer a specialty Grandma slice which is supposed to be really good, but of course we’ll wait to hear your opinions before we rush to judgement.

On Staten Island we also lucky to have Pronto Pizza, which has become a Staple and is mentioned in every questionnaire that we have ever asked on Facebook or other Social Media. They are known for having one of the best (if not the best) Pan Pizza’s and Buffalo Chicken Slices on Staten Island.  You can look at many videos produced of their Pizza Makers spinning pie’s, their large selection of specialty also can’t be overlooked, Pronto Pizza offers convenient online ordering and even gives our visitors 15% off when they use the coupon code ‘WhereYouEat’ at Checkout.  Here is a list of all Pronto Pizza’s on Staten Island.
