Needed to find a new pizza place and my boss suggested this place. He use to go to here when he attended CCSU. I called and ordered a large meatball pizza and some BBQ wings. I was told it would be about 20-25 mins. I drove there 20 minutes later and got into the parking lot. Which could be tight if it is busy. You walk down the stairs to find the pizza restaurant. The restaurant is cute and looks like it is run by a mom and pop. Inside there is seating to eat in. I told the nice girl in the front I was there for a pick up. Unfortunately, I had to wait in the restaurant for another 20-25 minutes. But they look they were busy and only two people was running the kitchen. I got my pizza home and I was pleasantly surprised it was cut in to small squares. The pizza was delicious and has a good sauce to cheese ratio. The wing was a bit saucy for my liking but it was good. I got a large pie and 10 wings which came to about 32 bucks, which was not bad these days. I think I found my new pizza joint, I would just wait a bit longer before going to pick up next time. read more

Called in an order for take out and pizza was ready in 30 minutes and was hot and fresh when we arrived. I ordered a medium pie: half sausage, onions, and peppers and half grilled chicken. They were not shy with their toppings and it was absolutely delicious. There was a plentiful amount of cheese and the meat was sliced into large pieces so with every bite you were sure to get a taste of everything. The venue is casual and there are a good amount of indoor seating and they have a fairly large menu, serving gyros, sandwiches, grinders, and a variety of appetizers. I am hoping to go back to eat there and try out more of their menu. read more

I have lived in New Britain 5 years and have finally found my go to pizza spot! Tonys Central Pizza is awesome with great food and superb service!

So, I frequent this place and generally the food is pretty good. Lately, though, the quality has been slipping and the waitress who always seems to be working (so there's no escape most days) isn't nice, efficient, or attentive. Her slow service has killed my lunch break on more than one occasion. Today's salad has put me over the edge. I ordered it with no onions and it's supposed to come with croutons and cucumbers. What do I find when I bring it back to my office? A few onions, ONE cucumber, and no croutons. Also, a TON of nasty, white lettuce, including the stumpy bit at the end of a head. Luckily, this is not par for the course, but my last two takeout orders have been hastily assembled and missing croutons. Please step it up, Tony's! read more

This location offers delivery, one option is with grubhub. Inside, it is clean, neat, and tidy. The staff here are kind and welcoming. The decor is well chosen. There is a television available to watch while you dine, it was tuned to the news station while I was there. Restrooms are clean. Alcohol is at a reasonable price. read more

Service is slow. I like the food but it doesn't matter if you eat in or call ahead, they seem to struggle with managing the orders. I have called in my order 3 times now and each time they say it will be ready in 20-25 minutes but when I arrive the just begin the order. Usually have to come and ask me what I order 2-3 times before it actually is ready. Nice people but wish they had a better system to manage the orders. read more

My first time in Connecticut and they didn't disappoint AT ALL. We came in 15 minutes before they closed, which I know can be inconvenient for closers, but they made us feel so welcomed and didn't mind us dining in. THE CHICKEN PARM IS 10/10 the price and quality! and so is the pizza it was so hot and fresh. This is a must when I come back read more

This is my second time here and the food is sooo good! Amazing! It's across from central and it's kind of hidden but a hidden gem! They also deliver around the area and they offer take out. I've ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. Also a chicken grinder and it was exceptional :) The owners and staff are super nice and very friendly! read more

I've been a Tony's customer for many years and I've never had a bad experience. Pizza is ALWAYS delicious. Great sauce and crust! The large antipasto salad is giant and loaded. The owners are great and remember you by name when you walk in! Their location is around back in the building so it can be tricky to find but it's worth the trip! If you haven't been there you must give them a try! read more

The best most tasty pizza in all of CT. Found them during college and they're consistently delicious. Pizza is crunchy, saucy and perfect. Grinders are amazing. Wings are great too. And the family that runs the place are all very professional and kind. Prices are great too! We usually go with 1 lg specialty pizza, 1 sml cheese, a grinder and drinks and it's less than $50. Will travel 30 mins for them.. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Delicious! Ordered a small pizza half cheese and half Hawaiian for myself. Wife ordered a chicken parmesan grinder. Pizza was awesome. Best I've had so far in NB. The chicken parmesan grinder was also very good. Only reason for not giving five stars is it took an hour and five minutes and we live three minutes away... read more

I love their Jalapeño poppers and their pepperoni pizza and their salads with mozzarella cheese! My boyfriend always loves their BBQ wings. The owners are so sweet and lovely and they have great customer service! Definitely check it out! read more

Not a fan!!I took my kids there for lunch because we heard good things.I will never go back.We we're starving.Only 1 server and 1 cook I guess for a very busy place.It took an hour to get pizza and pasta.Pizza too oily and the pasta sauce had no taste.For the amount of money they charge I was expecting more.My wallet and my stomach are still crying.I gave it 2 stars because the server was smiling and apologetic. read more

Stopped in here after looking up restaurants in the area (not from around here) and I'm glad I did!! Zucchini fries are the BEST I've had, and everything I got is super good:) staff was really friendly and food was out quick! If I'm ever back in this area I'll be back! read more

I like this place for the basics: grinders, pizza, wraps. While the food is absolutely fantastic and the buffalo chicken grinder is to die for, the service is sometimes not the best. Either they do not answer the phone at all (not even sent to voicemail, just left ringing for minutes), or they tell you your order will be 20 minutes and when you get there, you have to wait for another 15 minutes. I love this place and the food there but they somehow don't seem like they are able to manage all of the orders they get. read more

I arrived at Tony's at 12:10. I placed my order for a pizza the first chance I got. At 12:55 I had to leave to return to work. I never received my food. Do not got if you have a time limit. read more

Good pizza when fresh......TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! Ordered a pizza for delivery at 7:30 pm was 9:00 and had to drive to the store to pick up a cold pizza and received only a "sorry we only have one delivery driver" not even a fresh pizza nothing i will never come here again not worth my moneyBacon Pizza read more

I came in around closing time. There was of course no customer in site, but a few of the staff cleaning up. It's pretty nice in here for a campus restaurant. I ordered the Philly cheese sandwich. It was pretty juicy and tasty. The staff were pretty nice. Good place to come to before or after class or studying at the library. read more

Slightly greesy, otherwise great pizza. Lived in on it when I went to Central.

11/4/12 EDIT: I promised an edit after further exploration and here it is: I tried a medium mozarella pizza, and it's high up in the ranks next to Frank Pepe's and Plum Tomato, as far as I'm concerned. Enough said, right? What everyone says about this place is true. My only complaint is the juke box which has a horrible selection of music that randomly plays, but someone reading this might be into it haha. Anyway, definitely check it out. 4/30/11 (4 stars):I'll have to edit this once I try more than their soup, but I must talk about the service: My classmates decided this would be a good place to meet for a group project get together. The waitress was weary that we might not order food, but I assured her one if not all would. She was more than happy to provide menus and pretty much stayed out of our way for almost 2 hours! There were 5 of us and we got pretty loud, but it seemed welcomed which I liked. The other girls had rave reviews, but I wasn't too hungry so I ordered a small soup which cost less than Blimpie's....it was really good. Nice and hot. She served it with crackers. One girl had fried mozzarella and another had a salad with pepperoni mozzarella and something else..anyway both looked good. Another girl offered her jalapeno poppers which were REALLY good. I also to sample the fresh bread. read more

I am new to the area and when I started at CCSU Tony's came highly recommended by most. I usually shy away from highly endorse places because the fame/ great reputation sometimes cast a shadow in the reality of the restaurant. Nonetheless I tried Tony's one night and it was an amazing experience. The food was hot, and fresh. From the order-call to the delivery Tony's prove to have great customer service. The delicious food only made my experience better. Tony's certainly lived up to the hype. I'm happy I gave them a chance. read more

Came in here for lunch today and the only thing I regret is not trying this place sooner! It's one of those little hole-in-the-wall eateries; not really meant for dine-in (though there is ample seating to do so if you wish), but the food is soooo good. I ordered the chicken souvlaki gyro with fries. I've recently developed an addic-er, I mean craving for Greek food, so I decided to try this. I waited probably a little more than 20 minutes for my order, but I didn't complain-they were busy. The gyro was bigand plentiful, packed full of chicken, tomatoes, and red onion and plenty of tzatziki sauce (God, I can't get enough of that stuff....), and the fries were just how I like them: soft, hot, and had the perfect amount of salt. Seriously, it was so good, I just sowed the thing down (I must have looked like quite, uh, un-ladylike but I digress). I also got a Snapple to go with it. The total came to nine dollars and some change. Can't beat that price! Even if you don't go to CCSU, if you're in the area, try this place. I look forward to going back; the curly fries look great! read more

Very good grinders for a great price. Also, the service is very friendly, I would definitely come again.

I LOVE this place!!! I grew up eating here, and when I left for college, I CRAVED their grinders!! Their isn't anything I've tried there that isn't delicious! They're curly fries, spinach pie, calzones and ANY of their grinders! Their pizza is good too, but I personally go for the HUGE calzones or grinders. Great prices, great service and EXCELLENT food! They also do caterting with delicious pans of pasta, chicken parm and eggplant parm for reasonable prices! read more

Wonderful place great attention great food I love it your are amazing keep doing great...lasagna super buffalo wings amazing... Service outstanding read more

Tony's Central Pizza - I like it - Pizza Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

Tony and Sevvy, Greatest couple I know...They greet everyone like family... (Sevvy knows almost all the customers that come hear for takeout..During the covid they worked so hard to keep up with up with all the takeout orders. Sevvy is like my daughter and she feels like my younger sister. I would highly...highly recommend Tony's for not only the menu but also for the friendship. I am not going to forget Tony (behind the seen with Sevvy...he is a great cook and sometimes we can hear Tony pounding the chicken or dough in the back and Sevvy running around the restaurant. Please go there to eat...It is very clean and complient for Covi..She wipes the table down after a customer leaves and is always making sure everything is perfectly clean. Also we have been coming hear for over 30 years. We love you Sevvy...Tony, and all the girls ..Keep up he great work...Believe me Sevvy...you both will be rewarded for every thing you do Love, Eve & Roy Riggins I forgot...the food is outstanding read more

great place. lovely staff and perfect for college students. the lasagna and the chicken cutlet grinders are awesome. the chicken is perfectly crisp and juicy, the bread is warm and perfect, just enough mayo on the sandwich. really good. in addition - the lasagna is always top notch with just enough cheese and a crispy top of mozzerella. just really good quality food. i also really enjoy their carrot cake. read more

If you're dining in, don't plan on it being an in and out visit. I would not recommend eating here if you have a time limit. The service is slow but the food is good. This place was a staple for me through out college. Great pizza and grinders! I also love their soups and chicken parmesan. If you're a college student... I recommend just calling in your order and grabbing your food to-go. read more

If I could put more stars I would. I grew up eating Tony's, having my childhood home a walking distance away. Now that I've moved out of town, I still find myself driving out of my way just to eat there. I've become quite the chicken parmesan connoisseur throughout the years. Trying the dish during my travels in some of the finest restaurants. To this day I have yet to find an establishment that beats the quantity and quality of the chicken parm dinner made by Tony's Central Pizza. With a price that cannot be beat. Beyond the food, the owners are some of the nicest and most caring people I know. I highly recommend supporting this family business. read more

This is the best place ever. Everything is fresh. Salad, soups, sandwiches. It gets busy so call ahead. But everything is worth the wait. The fresh bread rolls are divine! read more

It was quite an uncomfortable experience. I'm unsure if it was an employee causing this scene or a friend of an employee. Regardless, none of the employees addressed her vulgar language and allowed other customers to be uncomfortable while eating their meals. This person was swearing and sayinng inappropriate sexual actions to someone over the phone. It should have been addrEssed by manager on duty. Not a pleasant place to eat-in if peOple are allowed to speak in this manNer. read more

I just had an amazing chicken parm grinder from Tony's! I will definitely be going back.

This place had great size grinders, food was delicious and service was quick. Price was very reasonable.

I absolutely love Tony's Pizza. This small business treats you very well, with the servers giving you all their attention. The owners are very kind and treat you like family. My favorite food to eat there is their grinders. They are huge, and for the price that they are, a fantastic value. Although sometimes, the food takes a little long to come out, it is worth the wait. Their pizza is amazing as well. I do not recommend if you have a 20 minute time limit, but if you have time on your hands, Tony's is the way to go! read more
