Jacksonville has always been home to creative eats, but Tony D’s New York Pizza & Restaurant just took things to an absolutely wild new level. Their Mount Vesuvius Pizza Cone is exactly what it sounds like: half a pizza rolled into a cone shape and stuffed with pasta, creating the ultimate carb-loaded mashup that nobody asked for but everyone secretly needs. Located on Point Meadows Drive, this laid-back Italian joint has been serving up authentic New York-style pies for years, but this new creation proves they’re not afraid to get a little ridiculous with their menu.
1. The Mount Vesuvius Pizza Cone Is Peak Comfort Food Chaos
Tony D’s didn’t hold back when they created this beast. The Mount Vesuvius Pizza Cone takes half a pizza, rolls it into a cone, and stuffs it with your choice of pasta because apparently choosing between two of the best carbs on earth was causing too much stress for diners. It’s messy, it’s massive, and it’s completely over the top in the best possible way.
The cone itself is made from their signature New York-style pizza dough, which regulars already know is thin, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Once rolled and baked into cone form, it becomes a handheld vessel for whatever pasta your heart desires. The cheese melts down into every crevice, creating stringy, gooey pulls with every bite.
This isn’t just a gimmick either. The flavors actually work together beautifully, with the tangy pizza sauce complementing classic marinara or Alfredo on the pasta. It’s comfort food taken to an extreme level, and honestly, sometimes that’s exactly what Florida dining is all about…
