Tony Prito appears in the popular The Hardy Boys book series by Franklin W. Dixon.
Son of Italian immigrants and a close friend of Frank and Joe Hardy, Tony works for his father's construction company and in the Casefiles is also the manager of Bayport's local Pizza Parlor, Mr. Pizza. He is the owner of the motor boat Napoli, which is destroyed in #36 and replaced with the Napoli II, and drives one of the Prito co. pickup trucks.
He attends Bayport High and is a standout second baseman on the school’s baseball team and a talented pass receiver on the football team.
Tony is a handsome 19 year old with curly black hair, brown eyes and olive skin. Though not big, he is wiry, with lighting quick reflexes. In Casefiles #41 Highway Robbery it is said that he is five inches shorter and twenty pounds lighter than the Hardy boys, who are 6-1 and 6 feet, so Tony is around 5-7 or 5–8 feet.
