“ Ordered the garlic knots and meat pizza. Very good. It came out HOT! And rather quickly. The sauce was Perfect! Not too sweet or sour, just perfect. The cheese on the pizza was the perfect amount. It even had a satisfying cheese pull.... The sauce amount was just right, not too much, not to "globby". Customer service was GREAT! We went mid afternoon, perfect time to go! ”
“ Hidden jewel in Stake Florida, lovely classic Italian restaurant serving delicious calzones, salads and the best Pizza in town. Must try! ”
“ Tony's is my new favorite place to eat. Best pizza in Bradford county! The stuffed garlic knots are my absolute favorite. Very clean! Service is always very good! Friendly atmosphere! The older gentleman that sings and plays guitar on Tuesday makes it even more enjoyable! ”
“ My husband and I went there for an early light dinner. We ordered garlic knots and said that we wanted to share a Chicken Parm. To our delight, they split the Chicken Parm onto two separate dishes for us. And it was enough for each of us a nice sized meal. Their prices are so reasonable as well. Our server Layacia was very friendly. We love this place! ”
“ My family and I were traveling to Jacksonville and we were looking for a place to grab a bite and we found Tony and Al’s Deli.. So glad we stopped in! We enjoyed the hot and crispy garlic knots which were NOT covered in greasy oil.. We ordered a large cheese pizza with half mushroom.. It was all DELICIOUS! The crust was perfect, the sauce for the knots was so good that we ate it to the very last drop, we even dipped our pizza crust in it. YUM!!! Our server was very sweet and attentive.. The atmosphere was comfortable and had that mom and pop restaurant feel.. You can tell it’s a place that the locals love to take their time and enjoy a great meal. Too bad for me that this place isn’t closer but I would most definitely go back if I am ever in the area and try other items on their menu.. :D ”
“ First time but not the last! We had the Stuffed garlic knots, goodness they're huge and yummy! I had the calzone which I could only eat half of it was so big and my husband had pizza. It was all so good and the service was incredible. Cannot believe we are in Starke often and never heard of this place before. We will be back. ”
“ Absolutely scrumptious pizza!! The waitress was fast and very friendly. We will definitely be returning customers! If you don't arrive super hungry, you will be once you walk inside this adorable little restaurant. The amazing smells of yummy Italian foods fills the dining room and makes you ravenous immediately. LOL! We can't wait to try other menu items! ”
“ I love Tony & Al's!!! Top notch foods, services and atmosphere. The owners are very down to earth and good people. They always accommodate our needs on services. I forgot to snap the photos before tonight's dinner. I highly advise XL Supreme and XL Meatlovers pizza's and the Tiramitsu is fire The photos of the cake we went without the extras but you can add the sauce if you wish. Best pizza for all of Florida!!! Can't go wrong for 50 and size, quality and toppings on these. ”
