Though the true identity of the Captain remains a mystery, his special-recipe sauce and chewy crust fortunately has not.. The Scene


The interior paint scheme is early "Partridge Family" bus, and only five tables make up the seating capacity of this bustling, efficient pizza emporium. It's a tight, interesting squeeze for those who choose to dine in. But Captain Tony's outdoor umbrella-shaded tables invite patrons to enjoy a slice in the fresh air. So grab a Coke from the cooler, take a refrigerator magnet from the register-side pile, and sit down to peruse the limited but good menu.





The Food


The menu lays down a list of pizza-shop standards, as well as some unique topping ideas (taco meat and potatoes, for example) to awaken under-stimulated palates. The pizzas are rarely anything other than steamy and doughy, and the green salads make fine, non-threatening sides. Captain Tony's is especially popular with dieters, as the restaurant somehow manages to prepare its light-cheese pizzas just as well as its regular pies. Better than anything else, though, is the fact that the Captain delivers. And remember--if you are capable of whipping together flavors that would make Wolfgang Puck blush, take it to the kitchen. If your recipe's a hit, your eponymous pie will be permanently enshrined on the menu.
