SF Foodies has gone to Tony’s Pizza Napoltena a few times for it’s pricey tasting menu. That experience is not for everyone, so now you’ll have the opportunity to experience Tony’s your way, by ordering a la carte. I’m excited to try the calamari and revisit the Artichoke Joe pizza. Maybe you want to try one of the award-winning Neopolitan pizzas, or a hearty thick-crust style.

Dining a la carte means waiting in line. Tony’s does not take reservations. We can wait in a nearby park or bar and get to know each other as we wait. The wait time will be unpredictable, and they will not seat us if our party is incomplete, so please arrive on time and don’t wander off.

Also, large parties must dine outside. Tony’s does provide heat lamps, but sometimes one side of the table will end up warmer than the other, depending on the position of the heat lamps. You should dress for the weather, in layers.

Chef Tony Gemignani is a thirteen-time World Pizza Champion. Tony’s was the first restaurant to bring several styles of pizza to California. Part of the appeal is the many different styles of pizza, cooked in different specialized pizza ovens. Hopefully we’ll share some food, but you can order on your own if you prefer. In addition to pizza, they have delicious pastas. They also serve vegan and gluten-free options.

The menu is here.

Costs
Assuming we share some pies, I expect that bill for food will run about $30-40. Alcoholic beverages can increase that total.

Food and drinks will be the responsibility of the person(s) who ordered them. No separate checks. Please be prepared to split the check at the event and pay via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Cash.
