Soooooo slow. Was over an hour before receiving our food and there was only 3 tables with people. Not worth the wait AT ALL. Pizza was burnt. Had to ask the waitress three times for napkins and twice for a box. Eventually gave up on her and had to go to the counter for our check. She then complained to her coworker in front of us because we didn’t tip enough for her liking. Hands down the worst restaurant I have ever been to.

I can verify and proudly state that this is a family institution that prides itself on serving only the best quality pizza in St. Louis. Mr. Bono spent many years working for Lou Malnati’s in Chicago perfecting his craft and now shares this brick and mortar beauty with his son, Tony. Lador Vador!

#TueDudesEat For those of you who enjoy an authentic Chicago style pizza, 2 from our group tried Bono's and they stated this was the best they've had outside of Chicago. I had the Tavern wings, which is a mix between hot and barbecue. These were delicious!

My boyfriend went once without me and enjoyed the drink and pizza. He took me today for lunch to try. Entered and was ignored for about 10 minutes until the cook asked if we were dining in. I asked if the bar was open and he walked away. My boyfriend saw a lady and asked her if we could order drinks. She said yes and we sat outside. We ordered a margarita and a lemon drop and 2 water. After a long wait, she brought our drinks which were undrinkable. We had to wait again for her to come take our orders after other tables who came after us were helped. She came to take our order and apologized for the delay as she was the only one there…for 5 tables. We got our water after asking again when she brought out the t-ravs. They were nothing to write home about but I was excited to have a neopolatin pizza. After a total of an hour and a half, we still did not have our food. I went in to ask for the check and she refused and said the pizza would be a few more minutes. The pizza came out not even close to what was ordered, wrong crust and sauce. The Cabonara had more mushrooms than sausage and bacon combined…when mushrooms were not even on the description. I got the check and she did take off the pizza, but not the drinks or carbonara. She even said she did me a favor for charging a regular margarita not the premium. I let her know it was not drinkable and still on the table and she rudely replied she was doing me a favor! No there was not a tip left since I paid for 3 things we did not consume. She can use that as her tip. If you go here beer is good to order, but they only had 2. We however will not be back. Happy eating!

We were really saddened to hear our waitress make a comment implying that the young man with brown skin behind the counter was too incompetent to do his job. Don't know if it was the skin color or the age she was referring to but it's not okay.

Delicious Pizza, and wings, STL hidden gem. This place is a well loved, family owned Pizzeria. They have plenty of seating inside (limited seating on the pizzeria side, but ample seating inside the bar) and a small patio with a few tables and chairs. There is a full service bar on the other-side. Ordered a STL style sausage and bacon pizza. It was absolutely delicious. The pizza sauce wasn't too sweet and very flavorful, and there was no need to ask for extra sauce. The crunch of the crust was just right. The wings were my favorite. We got them tavern style. They were cooked just right, slightly crunchy, but yet tender. The sauce on the wings was Smokey and tangy, with a little spice.
We will definitely be back again, and next time enjoy the patio!

The St. Louis Cardinals were playing the Chicago Cubs so I thought St. Louis should assert dominance through eating carbs. Tony Bono’s Pizzeria in St. Louis has both St. Louis style and Chicago style pizza, which is also perfect if you’re indecisive.
You know what else this spot has? A crab and shrimp pizza. #StLouisPescatarianApproved I threw on some jalapeños because all pizza deserves a little spice too.
We like all pizza around here. We do not care about the type of pizza. However, we definitely have a favorite baseball team! Go Cards.
The pizza was burnt. And, instead of placing the pizza on my table. He placed it on the bar for the waitress to give to us. It felt segregated. We were the only ones on the other side. I recommend anyone of a certain hue NOT to go there.

If it were possible to give negative stars, I would. We waited an hour and only were able to get garlic cheese bread and fountain drinks. Ordered 2 small pizzas but we had to leave. When we asked about how much longer the food would would take (after an hour of waiting), the waitress said that she gets yelled at by the kitchen if she asks. No apologies for how long it’s taking.
Then a couple minutes later I asked again and the guy in the kitchen cooking the pizzas got mad and yelled at the waitress then started to give me bad looks and gestures at me.
At that point I was done as I didn’t want my son to have to see that kind of behavior.
If they were slammed, they should have told us so as we sat down. No harm, no foul. But getting upset with me after asking about how much longer after an hour is an entirely different level and completely unacceptable.
I’d stay as far away from this place as possible.

I must say after meeting the cook with over 40 years experience everything went well. That deep dish pizza is omg! Fresh ingredients. Garlic cheese bread wasn’t that good. Didn’t have no garlic favored.. toasted ravioli was good. Chicken salad could used a-bit more! Now the service. My waitress started off good but things went sideways. I’m not gonna put her on blast! But the owner father 85 years old made things better and comfortable.. You ever want a deep dish pizza Bono’s the place!!! I’m working on the video review be available soon. Djstatic St. Louis on Facebook and YouTube channel djstatic’s playhouse on Tuesday! Go try Bono’s.
