Tony’s Brick Oven Pizza Announces Ownership Transition While Preserving 30 Years of Community Tradition
For decades, Angelo built Tony’s into a trusted neighborhood destination—known for consistent quality, familiar faces, and a true community atmosphere. His retirement marks the end of an era, but the foundation he created remains intact.
New Ownership, Same Neighborhood Feel
Taking over Tony’s Brick Oven Pizza is Sal, bringing a strong background from the seafood industry. Known locally as the “Calamari Kid,” Sal built his reputation in the fish business before stepping away 25 years ago. Now, he returns to hands-on business ownership with a focus on maintaining what works while upgrading the operation where it counts.
Family-Driven Operation Continues
The transition keeps the heart of Tony’s the same:
Santino, Sal’s son, will be working in the restaurant throughout the summer
Multiple family members will be involved in daily operations, reinforcing the same welcoming, family-oriented environment
Andres, a familiar face to longtime customers, will remain on staff to provide continuity and consistency
Modern Upgrades for a Better Experience
Under new ownership, several improvements are already underway:
Installation of a new POS system to streamline ordering and service
Addition of TVs inside the restaurant for an enhanced dine-in experience
Expansion into online ordering and delivery platforms
Tony’s Brick Oven Pizza will now be active across:

Customers will also be able to order through:
Uber Eats

Looking Ahead
Tony’s Brick Oven Pizza remains committed to delivering the same quality food and neighborhood experience that built its reputation—now supported by modern systems and expanded accessibility.
This transition isn’t about changing what Tony’s is—it’s about making sure it continues to serve the community for years to come.
