Better for a group of 6: Tonda or Keste?

My brother's coming into town and he's meeting a lot of my friends for the first time. Between Tonda and Keste, what's the better space for a group of 6? I know the pizza at either will be stellar, so I'm actually more curious about wait times (Friday night), noise levels, etc.

    I thought Tonda was awful. I'd easily take Co. over that place. Why not take them to Luzzo's, or hop on the 2/3 to Franny's in Park Slope?

      I thought Tonda had potential but didn't execute well. The dough had good taste but lacked any kind of char or flavor from the oven.

        Agree -- Tonda is NOT turning out stellar pies.

        Keste is really small and barely has table for 6. Plus the wait till be ridiculous. Sad though cause I think their pies are one of the best in the city..
