Does anyone remember Chef Tony’s Pizza House that was located on the west side of Aurora, across from the Aurora Village? They had what I thought was the best pizza on the planet, with using a very thin pizza dough that had no crust and a stinky cheese that was an oily, see trough type that had this amazing flavor. I have never tasted any cheese that matches the distinct taste that was so incredible. We ate there through the entire decade of the 60’s and I think they had a son who went to Shoreline Highschool, must have been in the 1st graduating class and opened up another Chef Tony’s in Everett around the 1980’s.

The passion that Tony puts into his cooking is a gift to all of us who are fortunate to partake in his work. Cathy’s love for all things wine is the perfect match for Tony’s cooking. Spiaggia in Chicago and Mangia, their restaurant in Kenosha, WI are places where one can take a trip to Italy without leaving the heartland.
Good people making great memories from food and drink are to be treasured.

I visit Italy often and love Italian food and flavors, and find it so hard to find an italian restaurant that can bring that to life here in the USA while keeping it simple. I can’t wait to see what you’ll post for me to try at home!
