Tony's Pizzaria

Tony’s was such a vibe. We came on a Sunday night over Memorial Day weekend and happened to catch Reggae Night, which made the whole experience even better. I actually spotted the place while driving by and decided to stop on a whim. It felt like a true locals’ hangout. People of all ages were out dancing, and it was clear a lot of them knew each other. It was so much fun just sitting back, soaking in the atmosphere, and getting swept up in the music. Honestly, it ended up being one of the highlights of my weekend. You order food and drinks at the counter, and luckily there wasn’t much of a line when we arrived. It was definitely busy, though, so the wait for our pizza was about 45 minutes. We didn’t mind at all because the live music and people-watching made the time fly. We ordered the Tony’s Special, which was super generous in size and toppings. The pizza was delicious. One of the best parts was this older gentleman walking around checking in on everyone and clearing tables. He was incredibly kind. When we got up to dance, he passed by later and said, “I wondered where you went,” which made us smile. He remembered us and could tell we were new, which made the experience feel even more personal. I really appreciate places that take the time to notice and welcome newcomers. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area.

A Ventura institution. How to explain the joy of finding this place on a rainy February night after an evening out with friends, have twisted, all joy-filled and laughing and hungry. Nothing satisfied in that moment quite like a piece of pizza doused in neon and California kitsch. Absolutely magic.

I was hired to do face and bodypaint designs. Super friendly and accompanying staff! Who had a very talented steel drummer/singer - Brad Winchell - play classic reggae tunes. The guests were also very pleasant, generous and appreciative of my art! Would work here again in a heartbeat! Gave the food 3 stars only because I am a plant-based eater and they serve dairy and meat full pizzas.

Great Saturday night at this pizza place! You can order by slices. They have live music, the ambiance was great, happy people dancing and singing, kids and dogs were having fun as well.

Tonny’s Pizzaria is a hidden gem! The pizza is always fresh, cheesy, and flavorful with generous toppings. Friendly service and a cozy, casual vibe make it a great local spot for an easy meal.

The best pizza place ever! Been here more times than I can list. Many moons ago, we used to come here while camping in Ventura, and chill around the fireplace while waiting for the warm Pizzas to come out. Always a good vibe and good service. It had been a couple of years that I hadn’t visited, and to my surprise, this place is more popular than ever. They expanded their parking and even built the outdoors to host bigger parties, a band and even an outdoors bar. This place is well lit, and greatly decorated, it’s such a vibe! Plenty of seating, fire pits and heaters. One of the best places to come enjoy some music and pizza by the slice or whole. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Tonys is the hot spot in town for good food, drinks and music. It’s out doors. They have fire pits and heaters. David was helpful finding us a seat. Had the pepperoni and sausage pizza and it was amazing. Went to see Shaky Feeling and friends. The crowd was friendly.

Couldn’t be happier with Tony’s Pizza. Ordered a pizza for Valentine’s Day. Great customer service, everyone was happy to be making heart shaped pizza and handed out red roses to boot. Nice change from all the corporate pizza places.

Great day at Tony's with the family! Pizza was awesome definitely order the Tony's special. Thanks to Nash for the great service!

I've know Bruce, the owner for years. He knows how to throw a party! the pizza is great and staff is awesome. Ella was especially helpful when I was placing my order. keep up the great work!

Amazing experience, good pizza and good vibes. Ella at the bar was helpful and kind. Cant wait to go back for another slice!

Absolute rip-off. We dropped $60 for pizza that was downright awful. Bland, greasy, and nowhere near worth the price. To add insult to injury, they charge $1 per tiny parmesan packet like it's liquid gold. Who does that? We also ordered a salad, which showed up with zero dressing -- just a pile of plain lettuce thrown in a box. No flavor, no effort, nothing. Between the sky-high prices, cheap nickel-and-diming, and garbage food quality, this place is a joke. Do yourself a favor and spend your money literally anywhere else in Ventura.

Great place! Been here since 1959! One year, before I was born! All I had was a large bottle of Tony's Filtered Water. Tasted great! My roommate, caretaker, had a slice of pizza, so did our friend who was with us! Great food! Great service! Great outdoor atmosphere! Great prices! Store has been family owned, ever since!

Love Tony's the food the music and the atmosphere are the best! Love Bruce and Cousin David and his staff are all the nicest guys! Love going for music and dancing and the pizza and drinks are the icing on the cake! Thanks Bruce for making Tony's come alive!!

We spent $65 on pizza and it was cold and unacceptably late. They charges $4 for four Smart & final parmesan cheese packets and gave us a salad with no dressing. This is literally the worst pizza I could imagine in Ventura and it's a low bar.

Back story about this spot. My hubby is a truck driver and passes this spot maybe 3 or 4 times a month. I always like to see his routes and what he see's so we decided to take a day trip to Ventura County to see the sites. He's always been curious about this place so we stopped for dinner. What a cute little gem sitting on the cornier or Thomson Blvd about a 5 minute walk from the beach. When you walk up to the restaurant you are totally taken back to a simpler time. It gives you surf shop vibes. There's only outdoor dining, but that's okay because they have plenty of heat lamps as well as fire pits. They have a stage for band performances which are probably on Friday and Saturday. They also have cute games to play while your wait. Service was quick because the menu is simple. Pizza and salad. They also have wine as well as bottled soft drinks as well as fountain drinks. The Pizza was decent. I enjoyed the toppings more than anything. I think it could've been cooked longer. It was a little greasy but still decent. Crust was thin and crunchy. I will say this warmed up in the over on broil the next day it was perfect. I'm glad my Mister got his curiosity satisfied and we had a great day and night.

I was craving pizza for dinner so we called ahead to order a medium pizza with half pepperoni and half hawaiian. We also ordered some buffalo wings. They told us it would take 30 minutes. We arrived 30 minutes later and the pizza was ready but they said they needed 5 minutes to pour the sauce on the wings. 5 minutes later, the wings were still not ready. I think we ended up waiting an extra 10 minutes just for the wings. Not sure what was the point of us calling ahead to place an order and them telling us 30 minutes if we still had to wait when we arrived. The food was delicious though! I really liked the Hawaiian pizza but my husband liked the pepperoni more. The pizza was pretty oily though... they put the pizza in a paper bag and by the time we went back to our hotel, the oil was seeping through the bag.

Tony the Security Guard is AWESOME! He always has a spot ready for my Harley when my wife and I roll up. Bruce, give him a raise! Thank you Tony's Pizzeria for being a safe fun staple in our beautiful home of Ventura. Much love!

Gone are the days when the service was friendly family and the prices were good, and the pie wasnt a sopping wet oil pool on overbaked dry garbage crust. The legendary raves I gave this establishment up until a decade ago went right out to sea with the loss of "Tony Jr." No one there now is Abel to bake a decent pie, the ingredient quality now sux and the joke of a staff don't care since the tourists are who praise and keep them rolling. Anyone else still praising this rep-blackened greasy stain of a remnant of what once was, is an addict, owner, investor or pitiable fool who never had high quality New York style pizza in their lives. Don't even get me started on the Crayola makeover and idiotic overpricing.

My friends and i produced an event at the VC Fairgrounds last weekend and must have ordered around 80+ XL pizzas over 7 days or so between us all. My favorite is pepperoni with fresh jalapenos. Nice crunchy thin crust slightly chared. Outstanding, friendly service and amazing New York Style pizza. By far, my favorite pizzaria in Ventura County. Great atmoshere near the beach and its a live music venue. Thank you Bruce Barios and staff.

We ordered 2 slices of pizza and it took them over an hour and we never got it so we left without eating or getting money back. We went up multiple times to ask when it would be ready bc we saw people that had gotten here significantly later than we didn't were getting entire pizzas before us. Cashier that was working Saturday 8/23:35 around 8:15pm was passive aggressive towards us, he was not friendly. Won't be giving my money or business to this establishment again.

4/27/25 2 Toppings Pizza (Sardine and Mushroom): Dev - A Meal - A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total - 4/5

Service and ambiance is really where it ends, pizza has some flop too big of a slice makes a Mess sauce is nothing special overall 6.2

This is a great spot for any occasion! The pizza is top-notch and the atmosphere is fun

The best pizza in town! The crust is crunchy almost taste like Neapolitan pizza. They always have a long line in the evenings. Live music and beach vibes. If you don't plan to eat there make sure to order at least 30 minutes in advance. Pick up is simple and fast.

Customer service was a 2. The cashier rolled their eyes when another customer made a comment about how long they had to wait for 2-cheese slices of pizza. Service: we waited 30 minutes for our pizza. We waited an additional 45 minutes for our wings which never came. When we went to ask for our order they told me that they made a mistake and the order was never placed. My option, was to wait another 40 minutes (while they had other wing orders in the oven) or get a refund. I chose the refund. I went to talk to "Cousin David" He said there was nothing he could do about it. Sent me to talk to owner. At this point we were frustrated and hungry. We left. Pizza: very greasy and crusty was cardboard (blan). We will not return nor recommend to anyone.

We drove by this place so many times, we were excited to try it. Impromptu Monday night pizza craving. So glad we only ordered by the slice. The crust is too soggy, too much sauce, no flavor. Three stars because they do offer garlic powder, oregano and crushed red peppers to dress it up - the only way it was ok.

SERVICE: Our first time there and man the service and experience was amazing! Outdoor seating, positive vibes, live music, games, heating lamps, and the customer service was on point. No complaints. Met the owner who I learned is a DJ - he's amazing. Reasonable enough parking for about 15-20 vehicles. You can catch the tunes walking buy as people waved from the other side of the fence. FOOD: Enjoyed the pizza (a hair salty for me) and the wings too were good. Drink was cool too and grabbed a bottled water just because. WELL: We're going to be regulars and you should too! * Shoutout to Colin/David for register/customer service * Get the 50! lol

Pizza hot made to order. Handmade by the taste of it. Awesome custom numbering on to go package, thought it was a nice touch. Heat lamps for the outdoor seating. Fun ambiance, stage and outdoor games for the kids and adults alike. Setting up for a private party so it seems like THE spot. Warm welcoming owners and staff. Just popped by walking distance from Ventura Beach and Fairgrounds which is ideal due to the paid parking situation. Although they do have a back parking lot of their own. Outdoor restrooms. The only complaint is there is no basil topping option. Overall a perfect experience for a quick dinner to go!

This is going to start off rough. But give it a chance. I'm glad I did. Took the train to Ventura from Union Station. Tony's is an easy walk from the train stop. It's an outdoor experience with live music and great ambiance. As I sat down, I was organizing my bag. The business section of the train provides snacks and alcohol. I was on the phone and looking at what I still had in my goodie sack. The host who helps monitor the area approached me informing me that I cannot open the alcohol (wine) that I had. Being on the phone I simply said, "okay, thank you" and I continued to clean out my bags. He stood at the table and then proceeded to pick up my wine bottles! I pulled them back from him and asked him not to touch my things. He continued telling me that I needed to put them away. I hung up my phone and told him to give me a moment. He had JUST told me about the (very common) policy and my intention was not to drink them but only organizing. He walked away but continued to "watch me" from his post. When I put the mini bottles back into my bag, he said, "thank you" as he was still watching me. I've never felt more judged, belittled, or treated like a child than at that moment. It was a horrible first impression and I hadn't even tried the pizza yet! I was so bothered I spoke to the manager. I told her that I understand the policy and saw that they sell alcohol--including wine. I know enough about dining out to know you don't "BYOB" or expect to pay a corkage fee--which they have and is $10. Anyways, manager was great. Returned to my table, pizza came, and was pretty good. It's super greasy, but that's what kinda made it yummy! Minutes later, the same gentleman came to my table with an apology and complimentary wine. I appreciated the gesture and respect the fact that he apologized. It's never an easy thing to do. In the end, it turned out to be a great find. The live music was fabulous. The band was, The Cousins. Which was ironic because the host's name tag also said, "Cousin...". As the evening came the patio lights turned on along with the many patio heaters. Despite the rough start to the experience, I turned out to be a great spot. I'm glad I found it and will definitely return--without my train wine! There's tons of free parking on the side gravel lot. And they are dog friendly which is always a plus for me. I think the property is wheelchair accessible too. I forgot to mention that they have delicious shaved ice too! Next time I'm trying one of those!

Always good food, always wonderful service. Clean bathroom! They have certainly expanded since my last visit; but the pizza is still good and the service is still wonderful! And isn't that all that matters?

Cousin David hooked us up. Found us chairs and re lit the campfire. The Pizza was spectacular as was the Made West Pale. Shakey had a bunch of great dead tribute bands. All round good time at Tony's

Fun spot with live music near C St in Ventura! Lots of outdoor seating with heat lamps/fire pits for those cool evening and a luau aesthetic. Pizza was affordable for a slice ($5.50) and I thought it was alright, not too greasy - but my friend said hers was too salty and the crust was 'like a communion wafer'. They have beers, ciders, and wine; and we got to try these locally made in Ojai, all-natural hard ciders - the cucumber ginger was our favorite with the rose coming in second. Staff was very friendly and polite, but the BAND brought the experience over the top! Highly recommend "Something This Way Magic" if you see them!

This spot has a great vibe and crowd. Hudson zipped back and forth working very hard all evening! Hudson for the win. Try the Hawaiian salad!

This no service, pizza spot reminds me of a good movie. Grease! My first and last time here! My wife said the pizza seems like it's not fresh and too much grease on the slices, IT's NOT FRESH! They make in advance and keep in a glass tank environment until you order a slice. Then they reheat! It was OK! I had bits of black charcoal all over the bottom of my pizza! Time to finally clean the dirty oven, Right? The lemonade was ok. 3*

I honestly only stopped here because I smelled the pizza as I walked by, and it smelled amazing. I got a single slice combo on my way back to the Amtrak train and was very happy with my purchase. It was around 5 pm on a Friday and I was first in line to the little walk up window. Very simple setup. Employees were all really chill and nice. And my slice was fresh and hot, ready in like 10-15 min. They also have a tiny bathroom which was very welcome. All the seating is outdoors, which I loved. And the patio is so cute. They have those adirondack chairs and a bunch of lawn games. Definitely good for families and groups. Nice vibes but I wouldn't really call it beachfront since it's after the fairgrounds, an overpass, and train tracks. But it's within walking distance of both the beach and downtown Ventura. I ate my slice on the train and was very happy! Def will be back on my next jaunt to Ventura!

Stopped by during the x games and it was packed. We were forewarned that a pizza would take 45 minutes which was no biggie. Our pretzel breadsticks came out in about 15 minutes. There was a mishap with the kitchen losing our pizza ticket but the staff was very apologetic and offered free beers while we waited for an expedited pizza. The pizza came out piping hot with a nice thin crunchy crust. Pizza was good and left us full without feeling overstuffed.

I have the pleasure of working with a great kitchen staff. One in particular is Easton. He is focused on his job and does it with speed and efficiency! When he is working I always have confidence that things will be prepared well and pizza,apps and our other items he has prepared,will be properly presented! He is a huge asset to the staff and is willing to step in when and where needed. KUDOS to Easton

Great place to hang out with friends! Perfect location steps away from the beach! JAKE is a handsome young man with a heartfelt personality and smile!

I am visiting my daughter and her family and we ate at Toni's tonight and it was amazing! The salad was so good and the pizza was amazing. But the very best part was the great service and attention that we got from Cousin David! He was so nice and helpful! He was great with the kids and even gave Madison a hat. We had a great time and can't wait for our next pizza fix! Thank you David for a great time. Tami Read Tucson. Az.

What a fun spot in Ventura to catch some live reggae! Pretty tasty pizzas too and good selection of beers on tap. Good service and very pet friendly.

The ambience of Tony's pizzeria is so beautiful with the colorful lanterns, fire pit, palm tree trees. Cousin David was very helpful finding us a table and provided good service.

A fun place to get a slice of pizza or two while you boogie down with friends. Lots of fun to be had at this venue on a beautiful day

Always a great place to eat & and Ella was a very delightful bartender with great recommendations!

Jake was an amazing employee!!! He should win the employee competition. Great experience! This is definitely not Jake.

Ella was so amazing! Thanks for all of your help! Recommended the local cider and it was so good!

Always wanted to try Tony's Pizzaria for years. Glad, I finally did and I wasn't disappointed. The pepperoni pizza is delicious along with the pretzels

Tony's Pizza is ALWAYS good! The family friendly environment with good food and good music creates a festive feel that always results in a Good Time! The "Startender" Jake is my favorite. He always provides excellent customer service with a smile!! Family Favorites: Classic pepperoni, the pretzel sticks and wings!

So, I was introduced to Tony's pizzeria over 15 years ago. For years it was my favorite pizza place but when gas prices rose high I stayed local in Camarillo. Over the last few years it has gone down hill in my opinion. As the place expands on their nightlight scene by expanding their eating area, bringing in more alcohol, adding a stage, and putting in more expensive entertainment, the quality of the food has gone down. Why am I being charged $30 for basically a HARD cracker with pizza toppings? The pizza is SO thin, the crust is VERY hard and they get skimpy on toppings. I got a pizza with half pineapple and it barely has pineapple on the slices. My husband and I have noticed the quality had been going down for a while now but we kept hoping it would get better when it obviously keeps getting worse. Sadly idk when we will be back, hopefully they'll thicken up their pizza more and not make it as crunchy. I hope the quality improves with the prices being charged. If the pizzeria is going to put money into anything, it could look at upgrading their building to be efficient for the staff. If they're going to have the bombastic party like scenes, they should have more space to cook and do a lot more. Plus, they could put money into having that soda machine that's touch screen with multiple options. I get that they want to try to stay as traditional as they can, but the pizzeria has been putting so much money into their outside venue, it's about time they start putting money into the inside of their building.

5 Stars I just have to give a shoutout to Desirae at Tony's Pizzeria--she's seriously amazing at what she does! Every time I've come in, she's been behind the counter making pizzas with such focus and care, and the results speak for themselves. The crust is always perfectly cooked, toppings evenly spread, and you can just tell she takes pride in her work. Last time I was in, I asked for a custom combo and she nailed it. Not only was the pizza delicious, but she was super friendly and made the whole experience even better. It's rare to see someone bring that level of consistency and attention to detail in a busy pizza shop. If you stop by Tony's, you'll want a pizza made by Desirae--trust me!

Fun place to have a delicious slice and listen to some great bands! Always a fun crowd, and it does get crowded, but the staff do an outstanding job taking care of you. David was especially attentive and checked on me twice even though it was busy!

Always an AMAZING time at this place!!! NEVER DISAPPOINTED!!!! Place is always packed, great bands, I've met the best ppl here !!!! The owner always says hello, Jake the bartender always sweet..... cousin David has the best customer service... I'm convinced he's my real cousin!!

I can't tell you how many times I have passed by this place and wanted to try it out with no luck. Finally we got to stop by for dinner and I was very disappointed. The pizza was falling apart it was so soggy. My kids couldn't even hold it. They ate it with a knife and a fork. The salads were disappointing as well for $8 ... The mozzarella sticks were ok. The ambiance is great and I loved the huge outdoor seating area but the service was not so great. Careless cashier with no customer service skills.

The Food can be way better it also took over a hour even though we ordered ahead of time. The entertainment was excellent

Wings are money! Salads awesome. David is a wonderful person and a blessing to patrons. Thank you David!! Thank you Tony's pizza for a wonderful place to Eat and see Dead Bandss

Great vibes, good pizza and very high prices. Good pizza but won't be back. A little too expensive for me! Service was just ok as well.
