Excellent food and service! New food addiction acquired it’s definitely a must try 🤤 😊
Let me tell you something. Forno Tony’s is an incredibly special place. It is clear by the line out the door. It is clear by the great folks being the counter. It is clear because of galato.
The culture here is amazing. The Rome, Italy in a small is simply speculator.
Please go here. Please look around and try one of everything. This is a little bit of Italy in Roch ch cha.

It’s the best pizza I’ve had in Rochester.

We got there on a Saturday of February at 11:20 a.m. The pastries were stocked and there were many flavors of pizza available. There were customers already eating and luckily we were the first ones in line but I heard that if you go there during a different time you might need to wait in line.
The pizza is really good, focaccia bread with ingredients on top. It is not the typical American definition of pizza where everything has tomato sauce. We really like the pesto pizza, and another one that had Roma tomatoes with pieces of garlic.
For dessert we got tiramisu and canoncini, both excellent. They also had Italian flavored gelato like biscoff, which unfortunately we did not try, but next time we will.
There are some few spots to eat inside but it's better to order to go.

We came here after lots of people talking about this place. I’ve never had Roman pizza so here we go.
For anyone who hasn’t been here is the quick run down as it can be slightly confusing. Walk in and you see a gelato counter to the right with a cash register and straight is the pizza counter. You order the pizza and they will warm it up and either give it to you or will bring it to the very limited eating counters near the front with a ticket saying how much it was. Then you goto the gelato counter and pay.
They have a huge selection of pizza choices along with some sandwiches in the case. You select what you want they cut them with scissors and weigh it. Yup weigh it. The price for the pizza is a mystery unless you only buy one slice. The ticket they bring will be with just the total for what you order. We ordered 3 slices - one Roman, one focaccia, and one double layer slice. The total was 21 dollars and change. That’s all it said in the white ticket so I can’t break it down further.
The pizza was very good. The Roman is very crispy and thin exactly how I like it. First I had the mushroom, onion, and balsamic slice and then I went back to get a plain cheese because I liked the other one so much and had to just try basic (that slice was 4 bucks). Second I had the focaccia pizza which was a triangle type instead of square. This one had olives and roasted tomatoes on it I believe. This was good but this pizza is much softer and not as crispy so I enjoyed the Roman more. Still a great slice though. My wife got the double layer pizza, I don’t know what they would call it, which was focaccia top and bottom and prosciutto and cheese in the middle. She said it reminded her of eating a ham and cheese sandwich but different. It had the soft “bread” like outside which worked very well likely much better than if it was crispy.
Their drinks are very limited. We settled on a sparkling water as it was the only low calorie option besides bottled water I saw.
Oh I didn’t mention the regular cheese Roman was just as good as by mushroom slice. While I’m full now I’m glad I got it.
This place can be a mystery when you’re ordering but the pizza and taste is not as it’s a very very good slice.
And if you like gelato my wife got the white chocolate raspberry and it was very very good.
Parking can be a pain but the further you walk the better the pizza will taste!

Incredible pizza. First time there I bought a slice of the mushroom at 9am and took a bite, thinking I’d save the rest for my wife to try when I got home. Finished the whole thing before I knew what happened. It’s that good.

We stopped here for their gelato after having lunch nearby. Absolutely amazing. Very rich and creamy. You can taste the passion, love, and the high quality ingredients. Can’t wait to go back and try their pizza.

I’m hesitant to post this because there can already be a huge line…but this place is an absolute gem. It’s like you’re in Italy and the pizza is light and incredible. One of my favorite pizzas ever
