Tonys Fried Chicken and Pizza

Tonys Fried Chicken and Pizza trades from a corner unit on High Street in central Ripley, a couple of minutes' walk off the Market Place. It is one of the long-running independent chicken-and-pizza shops on the central Ripley list and has at points traded under the names First Class Tony's and Tony's Southern Fried Chicken from the same kitchen.

The menu is the standard fried-chicken-shop mix — southern-fried wings, strips and burgers as the headline, plus a wide pizza selection, kebabs, wraps, pasta, jacket potatoes, garlic bread and dessert tubs to fill out the order ticket. The kitchen is set up for volume and the shop trades online as much as off the counter, with online ratings consistently sitting around four stars across several hundred customer votes.

It is the option Ripley families default to when they need an order that covers a six-year-old wanting chicken nuggets and an adult wanting a meat-feast pizza off the same delivery, and it stays open late enough to catch the weekend post-pub trade off the Market Place.
