My daughter had a few friends over for a slumber party Saturday night. She wanted to go to Tony's Pizza, at Northwest Highway and Ferndale, which she had been to many times, but I had never been. The food was good and the atmosphere was very family friendly. The meals are all about $5-$7 each and the value just cannot be beat. Lot's of people at other tables had the pizza but I opted for the lasagna which was very good. The place is BYOB and the servings sizes are generous. The waitresses were high school aged and did a very good job. Take out also seemed to be a very big part of their business.
TIP - If you are in a large group or a loud family full of kids, ask to go to the back room. There, your kids can be as loud as they want without disturbing others.
Also, I am a married to an Italian. She also approved.
Don't forget the daily 2 slices and a drink special for around $4.50. Love Tony's. I go there so often, they know what I order and don't even ask me. We have some great local places to go get pizza in this area. From Tony's and Picassos in Lake Highlands to Sali's and Alfonso's in Casa Linda to Scalini's and Angelo's in Lakewood.

I like Tony's food, but their service can be quite bad. If you go at night, chances are it will be fine because they have the extra wait staff there. But I used to go often during the day, at off-peak hours, and have sat and waited for my check literally for 20 minutes while the woman who is part of the family sat on the phone talking. I usually have to wave someone down. And I've stood at the door for minutes before anyone noticed as well. Their tortellini bolognese is very good.
