| - Okay let me preface this by saying --I am from Chicago ,so to say I am a Pizza Snob is a true statement..but I do give all types and all places a fair shake. I decided to try The New Tony Saccos over at the Promenade. They do not deliver so I knew that I would have to go pick it up. I called and the website does have a download menu but there are no prices on it. I relayed my order which was for two 16 inch pies and one 12 inch pie- and a order of Rotoli's . I asked the girl for the total, she said "I have no idea - but the bartender will tell you when you pick it up"??? They told me 20 minutes, I live very close and got there in less than 15. It was very crowded, the bartender was looking for my order which they were just boxing up. He took my credit card and said...62.47!! Holy Mozzerella Batman! That seemed like a awful lot-but me being a Pizza Snob..thought..its gonna be fantastic! I will pay anything for REALLY GOOD FOOD, so I took my boxes and left.
We opened the first 16 inch it was to be a "White Pizza (no red sauce) with Bacon and Italian finger peppers. It was White, it had Jalapenos on it and Sausage. BOOOOO then the second 16 inch was a Pepperoni and Sausage, also with Italian finger peppers which were also just Jalapenos - very few pieces of pepperoni or sausage. The third was a TRADITIONAL 12 inch, just cheese and red sauce. Well--they were all limp, crust was not good, not at all..I am very surprised it is advertised as a wood burning oven - I did not smell it when I came into the restaurant, nor taste it on the Pizza. The White sauce was okay, of course no bacon which is what my guest wanted and very few little piles of sausage - although the sausage was decent, in a Southern world where most sausage is cut from a hard italian sausage this was loose meat. The two other pizza's were just meh...nothing..and the Garlic Rotolis were dry and gross..a big hunk of pizza dough twisted and baked without seasoning and served with a small salad dressing container of garlic oil and vinegar. I will not be returning to Tony's...I should have taken my friends advice and tried the new Pizza Place at Stonecrest called "TRUE" --she is from New York and knows good Pizza.. A true waste of $62.47!
