Reviews Summary
Tono Pizzeria + Cheesesteaks is praised for its authentic Italian pizzas and highly-rated cheesesteaks that rival those found in Philly. Diners appreciate the fresh ingredients and flavorful combinations, making it a popular takeout destination and casual dining spot. However, some reviews mention inconsistencies in service friendliness and cleanliness concerns, particularly regarding dining area upkeep.
"As Someone who lived in Pa and went to all the spots. This comes really close to a south Philly cheese steak. Provo cheese was on point. Onions where great. Bread was awesome although not a sesame roll, was still great. Steak was amazing. Got a wiz one as well. Both very good. Tried the pizza as well. Very good pizza. And the speed they do this is very on par with south Philly. 3-4 minutes. Was a great find."

"The food was good. We ordered two Philly cheese steaks with different ingredients, and they were on point. I'm definitely coming back to try others. I didn't try the pizza, but it seemed OK. They make it in front of you. The service was so-so. It wasn't terrible, but the guy at the register seemed annoyed. The place was dirty; they needed a better job cleaning up after themselves in the kitchen and the tables. The floors were nasty. I understand it gets busy, but a dirty kitchen and seating area are unacceptable. Also, as a customer, you should clean up after yourself."

"Delicious pizza! The ingredients were fresh and the pizza was hot. Couldn't ask for anything better. The service was friendly, fast and I love their sauces. The tonos pizza was one of the best I've had. A little spicy but very flavorful."
