Tony’s Pizza Napoletana Tasting Menu: Table for 6 (Prepayment required)

Tony’s was the first restaurant to bring several styles of pizza to California. Chef Tony Gemignani is a thirteen-time World Pizza Champion. A few years ago, a group from SF Foodies tried Tony’s famous tasting menu, which allows groups to enjoy seven different kinds of pizza, plus appetizers and dessert. The event was a hit!

The dinner is a set price of $500 before tax and tip, so it is significantly more expensive than a typical meal at Tony’s. Please see details on splitting the check below. That said, we will be getting a lot of food. Parties enjoying the tasting menu are also guaranteed an indoor reserved table – no waiting in lines to sit outside and freeze!

You can see a video review of the experience here.

Although subject to change, the menu should include a variety like the following:

• A bottle of Prosecco for the table
• A spread of appetizers including Italian chop and caprese salads, string bean fritti, and fried squash blossoms
• Seven (!) pizzas, including
  ◦ A Neopolitan-style Margherita pizza
  ◦ The Artichoke Joe, a canotto-style pizza
  ◦ A New Haven-style coal-fired clam and garlic pie
  ◦ A Grandma the Hippie pizza
  ◦ The Sicilian New York All-Star
  ◦ A Detroit Motörhead pie
  ◦ A “cracker-thin” St. Louis-style pizza
  Cannoli and tiramisu

This is a unique opportunity to try a variety of what Tony’s can do with pizza.

Because this is a prix fixe experience with a set menu, there will be no opportunity to order separately and limited accommodations for dietary restrictions.

There will be leftovers, which we will divide up equitably.

I will also host a “regular” Tony’s event when the weather is more predictably warmer - we’ll wait in line and sit outside together, eat a lot of pizza, and spend less money.

Costs
With tax and tip, I expect each person’s share of the total to be about $113 if we have six foodies. If we only have five, the price goes up to $129 per person. I will cancel the event if we cannot get at least five foodies to participate.

I will collect the prepay for the full amount about a week before the event via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Pay. Please check your Meetup notifications (comments on the event or private message) for communications from me.

Additional drinks or food ordered will be the responsibility of the person who ordered them. No separate checks. Please be prepared to split the check and pay via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Pay.

Taxes and Fees
Dining in San Francisco has a sales tax (8.625%) and possibly a mandate (5-6%). We will add a gratuity of 20%.
