Best Italian in Bushwick
Master Critic Review
Tony's Pizzeria & Restaurant
8.4
A long-running Bushwick pizzeria built for repeat visits: thin-crust slices that stay crisp, straightforward sauce-and-cheese balance, and a deep bench of hot heroes when you want more than pizza. The best order is classic-first, then one wild-card specialty if you’re splitting—this place rewards restraint more than menu pinball.
