Tonari is a great spot for innovative flavors served via the best comfort foods: pizza and ramen. Make a reservation for days with events at nearby Capitol One Arena because this is a popular spot for both food and drinks. Check out the cute crochet foods for sale on the bookcase next to the bar as a keepsake from an amazing meal experience.

One of the best pizzas I have had in my life. Crust was perfect. Crunchy, extremely thin and the combination of flavors of the “don’t tell Gordon” was exquisite.

Great food. The atmosphere was great for connecting with friends, one of which we hadn’t seen for 44 years. Excellent service as well. As far as the volume, it was mainly us. Sorry about that!
