Being from the East coast and working in the Philly area, I have always said that Philly Cheesesteak's here in Minnesota don't taste right..... until I went to Tono's in Saint Paul. I reminded me of home so much that I bring my family from an hour away to enjoy the food.

I love Tono; they're within biking distance of our house & are definitely a rival to Punch in terms of pizzas. The store itself is okay, it's definitely funcional over being cute. The staff have always been really kind & helpful, though. Today we learned that this location has a Tuesday special where you buy a pizza & drink, get a pizza & drink free! They're calling it Tono Tuesday, which is cute. A lot of college kids showed up for the special, so beware that your wait may be longer on a Tuesday. I get the Margherita pizza, which is a classic. It's perfectly salty & I've never had it be overcooked. My only complaint is that the toppings tend to all slide off when you take a bite, usually when it's gotten a bit colder. Overall, though, this is a super tasty pizza. I really like that they have cups of sauces available, too; the balsamic reduction & hot honey are really good. My husband got the Spicy Tono but said he wished he would've ordered the standard Tono, just because it has more toppings. He still definitely enjoyed the pizza but it wasn't his absolute favorite.

Their big, sloppy cheesesteak sandwich is SO GOOD! I was just going to take a quick bite before getting a photo, but somehow ate almost all of it without stopping to breathe. I got one with onions, green pepper and mushrooms, and just half meat, but even that was bursting at the seams. They smother it in garlic aioli and your choice of cheese (I chose Cheez whiz, of course) and put it on a pile of fries. It seems like too much sauce at first, but when you realize that you can also dip the fries in the sauce, it's just the right amount. We also got a margherita pizza, which was tasty too. Zingy sauce, nice chewy light crust. I got mine to go, and it was still hot when I got home. Do not attempt to eat this in the car!

Used to go to high school over there in that area and go to Preparatory college at McAlester right next to the restaurant didn't know they changed it from the St Croix Broiler to the pizzas Philly steak place but it was a good change cuz it is really good really good atmosphere and the price is right. Charles don't forget to check me out on YouTube Charles Simmons in Minneapolis.
Ordered some sandwiches for pickup and placed an order for their walnut salad once there. Service was good and fast! The person who rang me up was courteous and answered the questions I asked with a smile. Food was very good. This was my first time getting food from Tono Pizzeria and I will be going coming back for more! The sandwiches were so good and the salad was delicious!!
