greek tony's pizza & sub shop

eat here only if. you can appreciate what a real pizza should taste like. this is by far the best i've tasted in indy and one of the best i've tasted in my many travels coast to coast. the first indicater was hockey all over the walls. the decor rings out east coast.

to sum uptony'spizza....flavor....the kind you crave and will only get from a good mom & pop place. good sauce and tasty dough.. nuff said.

greektony'sis nothing fancy. everything about it says old and it doesn't have any spit and shine of a chain pizza joint. but, it does have great pizza. we had bread sticks, pizza, and a chicken gyro. the bread sticks were good but a little too buttery for my liking. the wife loved them. too hot to handle. the pizza crust is great. perfect combo of chewy and crunchy. chicken gyro was very good and generous with the grilled chicken. service was very fast and friendly we will definitely come back.

excellent!!! this is one if carmel's best kept secrets! i love this place, and the customer service is always good. it's a pizza/sub place, not a 5 star high priced restaraunt. i honestly value the food more than their customer service which has always been excellent. they have gone above and beyond my expectations sometimes. i also order from them a lot for lunches at work, and they are always on time and have never messed up an order. i think their tex mex pizza is awesome, but everything i've ever got from them has been awesome. if you haven't tried greektony'syou are truly missing out.

i really don't know what swashongton03 problem is, but it's interesting that he posted the same review almost a month apart. my guess is he is another carmel elitist who thinks the world revolves around him and is probably a very rude person to deliberately try to hurt a family run business. i suggest he goes to pizza hut. they have great customer service and crap pizza. so would just ignore his rant.

horrible!!!!!!. 2/1/14 - today i had a really bad experience at greek tony's. i was there with my son's basketball team along with their parents so it was pretty hectic. in situations like this, it's only natural that food orders may come out incorrect.... the true test is the type of customer service that is provided from this experience. based off of how i was treated, it was obvious to me that this restaurant does not value its customers and the staff was very unprofessional. to make a long story short - my order was wrong and when i sent it back and asked to be refunded because i did not want to wait another 30 minutes, the manager (the owner's daughter) was very rude and basically said what's the big deal and couldn't understand why i just wouldn't eat the pizza..... i was not a belligerent or upset customer but because i wanted to speak to the owner to express my disappointment in the customer service (as a first time patron) i was told that the owner was out of town and the manager told me not to come back to the restaurant. wow is all i can say! how was i in the wrong because my order was incorrect?.... i will never patronize greektony'sagain and certainly won't recommend this restaurant to my family or friends. i will spend my money where it is appreciated and not taken granted. good luck because you will need it in this day and age with so many other options available.

clueless on customer service. today i had a really bad experience at greek tony's. i was there with my son's basketball team along with their parents so it was pretty hectic. in situations like this, it's only natural that food orders may come out incorrect.... the true test is the type of customer service that is provided from this experience. based off of how i was treated, it was obvious to me that this restaurant does not value its customers and the staff was very unprofessional. to make a long story short - my order was wrong and when i sent it back and asked to be refunded because i did not want to wait another 30 minutes, the manager (the owner's daughter) was very rude and basically said what's the big deal and couldn't understand why i just wouldn't eat the pizza..... i was not a belligerent or upset customer but because i wanted to speak to the owner to express my disappointment in the customer service (as a first time patron) i was told that the owner was out of town and the manager told me not to come back to the restaurant. wow is all i can say! how was i in the wrong because my order was incorrect?.... i will never patronize greektony'sagain and certainly won't recommend this restaurant to my family or friends. i will spend my money where it is appreciated and not taken granted. good luck because you will need it in this day and age with so many other options available.

great atmosphere. i have been going to greektony'sfor the past 22 years. i have never been disappointed. i remember when they were around the corner in a different part of the strip mall. my personal favorites are the godfather sub, and the mama's sub. also the breadsticks are fantastic. they come steaming hot to your table drenched in butter. highly recommeneded to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.

i absolutely love places that are throwbacks to an earlier age, and greektony'slooks like a place that hasn't changed in quite some time. when so much of carmel looks new and fancy it's refreshing to see a place that doesn't fit that meme. they are located in an older building, they have years of collected hockey memorabilia on one wall and games for kids on the other like a truly old school pizza parlor. hand written specials are on a white board behind the counter where orders are taken by an employee with a friendly face. i'm looking forward to a return trip, and if i can get myself away from the pizza i might have to try their italian beef.

my last trip to greektony'swas probably ten years ago. so, when a friend at work mentioned going there, i decided to give the place another try. my friend also mentioned that the chicago italian beef was very good, so that is what i ordered.

for the uninitiated (which inludes me), the italian beef is typically very thin-sliced roast beef, topped with giardiniera. in this case, the giardiniera contained hot peppers and carrots. then the sandwich is bathed in au jus. this sandwich also had a bit of provolone. overall, it was an pretty good sandwich.
