"A fast-casual brick oven pizza and cheesesteak joint was always bound to be a hit at the intersection of St. Clair and Snelling Avenues, just blocks from both Macalester College and the University of St. Thomas campuses — but five years into its tenure in the neighborhood, Tono’s is popular with more than just the college crowd. Cheesesteaks come served on a foot-long, soft white hoagie roll, accompanied by a bed of skin-on fries and with a choice of protein and cheese. For vegetarians, the pizza menu has a range of great options, including the Verona: mushrooms and caramelized tomatoes topped with pesto cream sauce and hot honey." - Julie Yu
