Overview
Tony Tomatoes has carved out a cult following in North Adelaide, thanks to its flavour-first attitude, lively atmosphere, and customisable approach to pizza. Located at 155–157 O’Connell Street, this modern pizzeria brings big personality to the table — blending a cheeky, nostalgic interior with serious attention to quality dough, toppings, and drinks.
At the heart of the menu is the choice of pizza base: either a classic white base, chewy with a touch of crunch, or the unique 24-hour fermented wholemeal base, darker, nuttier, and loaded with flavour. From there, it’s all about variety. Traditionalists will love the San Marzano Margherita or Capricciosa, while more adventurous eaters can dive into pizzas topped with kale and truffle oil, prosciutto and pickled pear, or smoked mozzarella and nduja.
Beyond pizza, the menu includes Italian-style share plates like zucchini chips, arancini, baked meatballs, and seasonal salads — perfect for mixing and matching with drinks or sharing across a table. Vegan and gluten-free options are also available, making it easy to please everyone.
Drinks-wise, Tony Tomatoes offers a well-rounded selection of local and Italian wines, craft beers, and a playful cocktail list that leans toward classics with a twist. The venue’s retro touches — think tomato tins, pops of red, mismatched chairs, and cheeky artwork — make it feel relaxed, energetic, and a little rebellious.
Perfect for casual date nights, group dinners, or family-friendly feasts, Tony Tomatoes delivers top-quality pizza in a space where the music’s upbeat, the service is snappy, and the plates are always empty by the end.
