Tony the Pizza Chef II Pizza Restaurant
4.6 Customer ReviewsOverview
Discover Tony the Pizza Chef II, a family-owned neighborhood pizzeria located at 596 N State Rd 7, Hollywood, FL 33021, United States, with orders and enquiries available at +1 954-963-0505. Known for oversized New York-style slices, classic Italian-American comfort food, and a welcoming mom-and-pop personality, Tony the Pizza Chef II in Hollywood offers the kind of straightforward dining experience that rewards diners who care more about flavor and value than elaborate presentation. Its menu covers pizza, pasta, wings, subs, calzones, stromboli, salads, and desserts, making it equally practical for a quick lunch or relaxed family dinner.
Pizza is naturally the main event. The New York Napoleon Cheese Pizza showcases the restaurant’s signature style: a thin crust with enough crispness to support a generous layer of tomato sauce and melted cheese. Current menu information lists a 14-inch pie at about $14.50, an 18-inch at $18, and a huge 24-inch version at $27. Diners wanting something more substantial can try the Steak Pizza, while the specialty selection also includes Chicken Cordon Blue and other topping combinations.
Another must-order is Tony’s Famous Garlic Rolls. Soft, buttery, garlicky, and ideal for sharing, they frequently appear alongside pizza and wings in customer recommendations. The Stromboli, filled with sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella, mushrooms, and peppers, is an equally satisfying choice when a traditional slice feels too simple. Calzones, meanwhile, use a three-cheese blend and have earned praise for their notably generous size.
Value is one of the strongest reasons to choose Tony the Pizza Chef II. The restaurant is generally positioned around the $10–$20 per-person range, with individual cheese slices listed at approximately $3.75. Portions are famously substantial; one recent customer joked that “the pizza slice was bigger than my plate.” Another longtime guest praised the restaurant for using quality ingredients while remaining affordable for families.
Customer feedback also reinforces the restaurant’s consistency. Recent reviewers repeatedly describe the pizza as authentic New York-style, highlighting crunchy crust, flavorful tomato sauce, gooey cheese, friendly service, and freshly prepared food. The main limitation is space: the dining room is compact and no-frills, so larger groups or diners seeking an upscale setting may prefer takeout or delivery.
The atmosphere nevertheless feels cozy, casual, and personal. Amenities include dine-in service, takeout, delivery, catering, free parking, Wi-Fi, wheelchair-accessible facilities, vegetarian choices, and kid-friendly dining. Dogs are also permitted in the outdoor area. Desserts such as tiramisu and zeppole provide a classic Italian-American finish.
For anyone comparing the best restaurants in Hollywood for casual pizza and memorable local dining experiences, Tony the Pizza Chef II stands out through enormous portions, approachable prices, and genuine neighborhood character. Visit hungry, start with the garlic rolls, and experience a South Florida take on the classic New York slice.

Just tried Tony’s pizza for the first time and it was so fire, we got the jumbo pizza thinking it was a regular big but no it was huge. And even that bit the flavor was all there. The garlic rolls and wings are a must as well. If you’re thinking about trying a new pizza place do so here it’s great. The pizza slice was bigger than my plate
Great mom and pop shop. I’m a pizza lover and there are some good authentic places back home in Philly but this pizza right here is exceptional. Love the pizza, service and atmosphere.
fantastic iconic place in Hollywood everybody that comes around the area needs to stop here and they will never forget this place and everyone like me will be back for a really good pizza and more. It actually reminds me of New York when I was there something local yet very hard to find everywhere else.
Tony’s has been a special place in my life for a very long time. I’ve been regularly going there since I was a child and I’m proud to say still going as an adult 14 years later. To start the staff and owners have always been welcoming and familiar to their customers with a customer service that goes beyond work into friendship! They always remember you and your family and are always happy to catch up! They genuinely care about the customers. The food is classic and genuine, they make better quality pizza with real ingredients. Tossed and cooked right in front of you daily I’ll take Tony’s over any other chain pizza any day of the week. They have always been affordable for those with children or those on the go which has always been a plus for me! With a personal atmosphere that is cozy, welcoming and inviting. If I could give a review higher than 5 stars I would because they deserve it! Above and beyond service and food you can’t get anywhere else! Make sure to visit, you’ll be a regular in no time!
WOW! We wanted a good slice of pizza for dinner and saw this cute little place and gave it a try. I got a meat lovers and my bf got a pepperoni and cheese slices. We devoured those pizzas, they were just perfect. Also for the price, I think what you get is right. The slices are humongous, so bring an empty stomach or you'll end up with leftovers. It's also clean and comfy, seems like a cozy family-owned place. 10000% recommend. We will come again when we are in the area.
Me & my boyfriend have been coming here for years! We come almost every week. We love the pizza & we love the people that work there, they are so nice! Absolutely love this place!
My new favorite place Definitely Authentic New York style pizza We’ve been here a few times and also ordered takeout. Always the best One of the best NY style pizza I’ve ever had !!! Staff always nice and friendly ! Thank you !!!
As two people from Canada I think this was the most greatest pizza (in my opinion.) pizza crust had a crunchy texture and it was good for me and the two other people I was with. The pizza had a great tomato sauce and cheese.The service was great! Everyone was super nice and i had a awesome time with them and my pizza. The atmosphere had a smaller space but I liked it. The ovens and the counters were awesome and they looked like a normal restaurant setting. I loved the food there so I decided to give it a review.
