Tony's Pizza is an independent craft beer bar and pizza shop at 134 The Square, Palmerston North, next to No.1 Shoes. It holds a 4.8 Google rating from 405 reviews. The website describes 18-inch pizza by the slice, for dine-in or online pickup, craft beer, frozen margarita cocktails, arcade games, board games, nostalgic decor and a family-friendly, dog-friendly space, with quiz nights and comedy shows. It says owner Jack, whose middle name is Anthony, was inspired by a craft beer restaurant internship in New York.
Pizza by the slice is a quick, flexible way to eat: you can pick one or two different slices, and it suits groups who want to share different flavours. A good slice has a crisp base and a hot centre, so order it fresh from the oven. Craft beer bars reward questions, so ask for a taster of local brews before committing to a pint, and check event nights if you want a quieter or livelier evening.
For Palmerston North locals and families around The Square, Tony's is a relaxed place for a slice, a craft beer and a game.
