About Tony's New York Pizza
Tony's New York Pizza is a pizza restaurant in London, at 15 Balham High Rd, serving halal meat by the New York-style slice, which the staff confirm. Slices are sold from the counter, including the grandma slice and pepperoni, so diners who eat halal can order a single piece or share a whole 18 inch pizza. The crust is thin and foldable, with a crisp bottom. Buffalo wings and dips round out the menu, and hot honey and other garnishes wait on the table for adding to a slice. Seating inside is limited.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers, many of them New Yorkers or longtime expats, come to Tony's for the New York style slice, describing a thin, foldable crust that is crisp on the bottom with a good balance of chew and crunch. The pepperoni slice is the most repeated favourite, with one reviewer calling it among the best they have eaten. The Grandma slice earns similar praise for its crisp crust and rich sauce. Close behind are the spicy salami and jalapeño pizza, buffalo wings, homemade garlic knots and dips, with several noting fresh ingredients and generous toppings. A few mention that the meat is halal, and service is described as friendly and quick. The main caveat is space. One reviewer says there is little seating inside and suggests taking food home, while another points to a couple of benches outside. One reviewer also finds the slice a healthier-tasting, more European take than the original. Honey and other garnishes sit on the table like a New York pizza joint, and one reviewer recommends the hot honey.

“Sensational thin crust pizza with fresh ingredients and the perfect crunch. Friendly, welcoming staff. A couple of benches outside make it a great spot to watch Balham go by. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving pizza!”

“Where do I start? Coming from New York, I didn’t even think to search for home style pizza. But visiting a friend in Clapham, I see Tony’s. Fantastic flavours, great tasting fresh pizzas by the slice??? Who wouldn’t? I recommend the pepperoni pizza. Great friendly service. Thank you!”

“We discovered this gem by chance whilst on a walk around the area. We ordered a slice of the cheese pie and tried some of their homemade garlic knots. Best of all the staff confirmed that the meat is Halal. One of us has lived in New York City and this is the closest thing we have found in London to the traditional New York slice. Don’t get us wrong, you probably won’t be able to get the 100% exact same taste of a NYC slice in London (or at least we haven’t thus far) but Tony’s is a good take on a NYC slice, albeit a healthier-tasting and more European version of the classic. We are very happy that there is a spot nearby doing authentic New York pizza. We have struggled to find places that sell pizza by the slice in London in the past, so this place did not disappoint. We also loved the fact that they had the honey and other garnishes on the table, much like a New York pizza joint. The pizza was warmed up until it was crispy on the bottom, just the way we like it. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks to the staff at Tony’s!”

“I NEVER write reviews, but after eating at Tony’s New York Pizza, I had to. I am born and raised in New York, and I do not hand out compliments about pizza lightly. This was not just “good for the UK.” This was legitimately some of the BEST pizza I have had anywhere, INCLUDING New York. The Grandma slice was absolutely phenomenal. The crust had the perfect crisp, the sauce was rich and authentic, and every bite tasted like true old school New York pizza made with passion and quality. And the pepperoni pizza? Honestly one of the best pepperoni slices I have ever eaten in my life. Perfectly balanced, incredible flavor, crispy pepperoni, amazing cheese, and cooked to perfection. You can immediately tell this place cares deeply about what they are creating. In a world where so many places claim to have “New York pizza,” Tony’s actually delivers it. Absolutely exceptional!!”
