So here is my first review on this site. I'm a New Yorker now living in SoCal, the only deep dish pizza I?ve had was Pizzeria Uno, which I used to love until I realized it was garbage. 9 months ago while living in LA, I decided to take a vacation to the Bay Area. My co-worker recommended pizza in his hometown of Petaluma. This was my first real Deep Dish experience so I thought it was important to compare it to Tony?s. It's called Old Chicago Pizza - an outstanding 10 on a 1 to 10 scale. Not greasy and best of all despite being a meat lovers pizza with Canadian bacon, Pepperoni and Sausage, I didn?t feel disgustingly full and thirsty from a sodium overload like Uno's. Everything about this Pizza was so incredibly fresh! I?m not going to argue which is better NYC pizza or Chicago. They are two totally different animals. If you are on the go, a NY slice is perfect. But if you want to sit down and enjoy a hearty meal, Chicago style is awesome! So to my review of Tony?s ?Little Italy? Pizza of Placentia: I drove approxy 30 miles and it was worth it. Plus, there was the Cinema City with an all-digital theater presentation in Anaheim Hills I?ve wanted to check out. Was it better than Old Chicago in Petaluma, NO but it was still a darn good pie. I ordered the smallest one with Pepperoni and Sausage and I still couldn?t finish it. Tony?s gets points off for the pie being a bit greasy and I was a little thirsty later that night. The sausage was very tasty, the sauce a perfectly sweet and chunky. There was lots of delicious cheese too. The pepperoni was good but the sausage seemed to slightly over power it and the crust was perfect. If you were desperate for a good deep dish pizza check this place out. If you?re originally from Chicago, this may not cut it for you. Since Old Chicago Pizza is a 10 I?d give this one a 7 and 1/2. Had a friendly conversation with the owners about NY and Chicago winters & how we don't miss them. Definitely going back.
Pros: Deep Dish Pizza Made Fresh
Cons: The place is a bit too Small
