“This place is the spot for cheap pizza. For under six bucks you're getting something easily 5x the quality of Little Caesars that hasn't been sitting in a hotbox for an hour. Ingredients are always fresh, even a custom pizza is ready within 10-15 mins. Music is usually pretty good when I'm standing in the front with a bunch of other cheap pizza aficionados.“
“Ordered on. Saturday. Order was ready 20 minutes after expected time, but you could see the guys hustling and working hard to catch up, so no complaints. Pizza was the expected little Ceasars standard, so no complaints. Definitely order ahead on the app if it's on a weekend.“
“This place was delicious! We got the bbq chicken and gyro pizza as well as the combination gyro/chicken over rice. The pizza was made to near perfection, had a good crunch with an impactful flavor. The rice dish was good; it was very flavorful, but I think the meat to rice ratio was a bit off (needed more rice) and I wish the pita was toasted rather than microwaved. Aside from that I was very happy with everything and will definitely be back!“
“Not around the corner from me, but definitely worth the drive. The pizza crust is the perfect amount of thin and fluffy with a slight sweetness to the dough. The crust is beautifully crispy and yet tender! Tonight we had the bruschetta mix which is a choice of 3 different bruschetta of our choosing. We tried the traditional, the caponata, and the Rockefeller. I really liked the Rockefeller which is a nice combination of spinach, Swiss and Asiago cheese. We ordered the Mediterranea Salad and it was so pretty. The salad was dressed well with just the right amount of sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata Olives. I am not a personal fan of olives, but these had some really nice flavor to them. The pizza we ordered a traditional Margherita which was with a red sauce and the Biancaneve which is with a white sauce. Even though the ingredients were similar they tasted completely different and so good! I wish there was more cheese on both pizzas. They seemed weirdly dispersed so some slices only had a few 1/2 pieces. They do use fresh mozzarella in both these pizzas so don't expect to have that cheesy pull of shredded mozzarella. We sat in the side room which had a big screen on one side and there were music videos being played. Since the restaurant wasn't very crowded the music seemed really loud making it a bit hard to have a conversation. We were seated at the far end of the room, close to the restrooms and the music was still loud. The service was spot on. Our server checked back often, she gave us time to look over the menu and she didn't rush us as we were thinking about each course. Next time we will have to try dessert. The crepes sound delicious.“
“I always feel like maybe there is about to be something going sideways in this place. The pizza is pretty true Jersey style and the sausage is not the type we here in the midwest (known for our sausage) are used to. But on the whole, it’s very good pizza.Little non-pizza criticism… watch the language. Lot’s of cursing going on. Some folks are probably offended by the f-this and f-thats going on. It’s not Jersey.“
“Happen to find this little gem while waiting for a tow truck for my boyfriend‘s truck today. I was thinking Subway, but then I found this. I am so glad that I walked in there, and that she talked me into the focaccia Capri style. The foot-long is massive the sandwiches, and the meats are phenomenal and the service could not have been better, I don’t care if I live 40 minutes from here I’m coming back !!“
“OMG!!!!! Can't say enough about the pizza. The flavor took me back to when I was a kid living in Desplaines. Romano's was my go to place. This was our first time trying Joe's Pizza it was outstanding. We will be back. Thank “
“Ive been to Pie Life a couple of times already, and I can say its probably the best pizza Ive had in Illinois by far. Ive always prefered NY/NJ style pizza over Chicago, but its impossible to find anywhere that makes it right here, until I found Pie Life. They have a large selection of pizzas, all available in slices, 16" whole, or 20" whole. I appreciate the slice option because its a good quick lunch/dinner and not many places serve individual slices anymore, and not for this low price either. Its a little misleading seeing the slice premade then warmed up, but they put it in the oven, not a microwave, so I garuntee it still tastes immaculate (but obviously ordering a whole fresh pizza is even better!) I also appreciate the "what you see is what you pay" style pricing, the slices are $5, and you pay $5, nothing more. Their service is also some of the best Ive ever seen. Its a privately run business, and they truely make you feel welcome every time, they like to talk and are very friendly (the owners daughter is also occasionally in the restaurant eating pizza and coloring, it is very adorable). Overall, I cannot say enough about this place, I go to College of Dupage down the road, and for as long as I go there I will be eating Pie Life for lunch, great quality and value!“
“Real deal Italian spot. From the outside looks like a convenience store with Illinois Lottery displays but when you walk in, a classic Italian deli/grocery shop with dine-in area, a large spread of pre-made sandwiches, desserts, other homemade goodies, and a fridge/freezer full of take-home food and meals. Also nice to see they have a drive-thru. Pictured here is a 6" Paesano on their homemade bread with everything on it as well as hot giardiniera. Subs are made-to-order and you can see the cooks doing so. Meats are nicely portioned and the sub itself was not overly stuffed. Ordered this as a combo (which I could probably do without next time) which includes a bag of choice of chips and a fountain drink from the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine. Definitely want to try out their Serino Special Sub, Eggplant Parmesan Sub, Caprese Sub, or even their Pizzas next time. Their cannolis and cookies looked to die for so will need to grab those also.“
“We order delivery from here about once a month. The food is always hot and delicious. The delivery drivers are always so friendly and personable. The food always arrives at the estimated time of often earlier. We have ordered pizza for a couple parties also and everyone we have talked to there is great! I would highly recommend!“
“Had myself a slice of cheese pizza, a breaded steak sandwich and a cannoli and it was all very delicious! This area needed a place with slices hot and ready to go that isn't a gas station and I couldn't be happier with the quality of this place! Will be my go to heading to work for a slice! A week later I got a 16" pizza half cheese half sausage and it was cooked to perfection. A lot of other places I have to ask for well done but Legends knows how to do it without even asking! The mozzarella sticks and breaded mushrooms were also excellent. Highly recommend and will be coming back frequently!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Sarpino's on Army Trail Rd! The pizza was top-notch, with fresh ingredients and a perfect crust. The service was friendly and quick, making the whole experience delightful. I was recommended the Hawaiian pizza and it looks and tastes wonderful. Their attention to detail and consistent quality make this spot a must-visit for any pizza lover in the area. Highly recommend!“
“The Lou Malnati Salad was the best salad I have ever had. Absolutely outstanding. Minestrone soup was flavorful and rich. Bruschetta was standard. Thin crust cheese pizza was tasty. Loved the cheese blend. Our server was an absolute professional. Attentive, friendly, quick and thoughtful. Vibe was great. Outstanding and comfortable place to bring your family.“
“Unfortunately, the evening did not start off well. We were told that we had to wait for our reservation for atleast 10-15 min after our original time, even though we showed up early. Then after waiting, we were told another 15 min. Noticed that they seated other groups that were walk ins so I guess they were given priority. We had two young children who were starving so we decided to leave and just as we did, the manager came running after us and asked us to stay. They turned around a table and even through a pizza in the oven for the kids, no charge. The food was good, not great. Felt a little rushed as it was now kind of late for dinner and they were getting ready to close. Wouldn't mind giving them another try but will likely favor other restaurants over this one.“
“The best food I’ve had in the area since moving out 2 years ago from the West. Local food options in the Dundee, Algonquin, Crystal Lake, McHenry area have been very disappointing. This has been the standout. We got the Tuscan Fires as an app, sausage and mushroom pizza, and rosemary sausage pizza. All were excellent.“
“Fantastic and Thankful Today was finally our first opportunity to visit and order take out. Fantastic isn’t a strong enough word to compliant how great the pizza and panzarotti were( wasn’t quite a full pie by the time I got home had to have a slice) The quality and taste took right back to my Brooklyn neighborhood. You know it’s great from just looking and smelling, to the perfect undercarriage crisp crust. Thankful, they are 5 minutes from our home, so welcomed to the neighborhood and we finally have the pizza we’ve been searching for. Lastly I had an opportunity to speak with the family before our food was ready and you just know they make you feel at home and like family. My only suggestion is to the neighborhood that you should run not walk and have a fantastic experience like we did! Cheers to many years of success, find good and best eats!“
“Happy 3 year Anniversary!!!! This place fought thru Covid closures and first year opening! 2 strikes for a new business and yet SO BLESSED they made it!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE! This place is a hidden spot in the plaza la rosita. In Palatine. I’ve been here a few times before making a review cuz I really wanted to give an honest opinion! First off cleanliness is awesome! Place looks well cared for and clean. 2nd Customer Service ❤️ THIS is the first reason why I came back! They are great people and always a joy to see their smiles and warm greetings. Now to the food. I cannot express enough how phenomenal the wings and pizza are!!! the wings and garlic habanero sauce was fire! If you wanna get some amazing wings your taste buds definitely deserve to have wings from here! It amazes me that not that many people know of this place and well don’t snooze on this place!! Your missing out if you do!!! The pizza is better than I’ve tasted ANYWHERE in this area and we’ve been trying to find a spot since we moved nearby. So grateful I was told about this place and decided to try. They also have a seating area with TVs. If you’d like to meet up with friends or just have family dinner THIS is the place. Date night??? Enjoy the variety of foods. Lunch break??? Check it out for a slice to go. You won’t regret it! Trust me .“
“I don't want atmosphere I want great pizza. Whenever I'm in from out of town I always stop by not only pick up a pizza to eat while I'm here but a couple pizzas to take home with me back to Iowa. Don't change the pizzas guys God bless you!“
“I stopped after work for an Italian beef sandwich. It's one of my favorites. And they can get it ready in about 10 minutes while I wait.Fabulous pizza also! I love the extra thin crust they offer.The people there are always friendly, it's a great local restaurant.“
“If you want great Italian Chicago style food this is where you go. It's a nice inviting Pizza restaurant. The food from beefs, pizzas, spaghetti and meatballs. It's all good. My favorite is the meatball sandwich on garlic bread. The manager Emily is great and friendly. She takes care of catering as well. If you need a party setup ask for Emily. This place is the only place around making all their Italian food by hand. It's ran by an old Italian guy that keeps the food just right! Hope you ENJOY!!Vegetarian options: BY REQUESTDietary restrictions: BY REQUESTKid-friendliness: FRIENDLY GREAT STAFF TO ASSIT WITH KIDSWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
“I tried out this place recently, and the pizza was pretty good! I didn’t love the mozzarella sticks and the sauce that came with -on the sweeter end. The restaurant is old-fashioned but very put-together and clean, and the service was outstanding. They have daily specials, including half-off pizza on Wednesdays and Saturdays!“
“I was very impressed by Fire and Wine. It has a casual vibe. Obviously a local favorite. Each dish was excellent in taste and presentation. Service was great! Both the hostess and server were happy to share recommendations of their favorite dishes. We had the black pepper shrimp appetizer and the pizza bread for the tasty sauce!! We enjoyed our salads and entrees. We were too full for dessert! As we left, I was impressed at how clean the restaurant was- even after serving such a large crowd. Nice place. Good culture. Recommend!“
“Wanted to thank you for delicious pizza and calzone and excellent service. I made a schedule for 7 pm but we got home earlier and I asked to reschedule the delivery for earlier, everything was done as requested. We received our order 30 minutes earlier and everything was delicious. Definitely recommending, friendly staff, fast delivery and very delicious food.“
“Thin crust was comparable to other popular franchise pizza places but for a fraction of the price. One topping sausage was amazing; their sausage is better than most that I’ve tried! Friendly staff on the phone and pick up, pizza was ready on time and steaming hot. This is a great local business to support!“
“Open, very, summery atmosphere! Feels like you're grabbing dinner on vacation to places like Palm Beach or Miami. Such a great place for a brief escape from Chicago winters. Elegant but still casual. Bright colors, nothing dark and dingy like several if the more old school Italian restaurants. Food is excellent! A good variety. I had the linguine with clans and I loved how it wasn't saturated in butter and garlic. Tasted like it does in Italy! Bread was fresh, beet salad was surprisingly delicious, and the Gelato was some of the best I ever had. We got hazelnut and pistachio. Coffee was good and strong. Service was good though we had to ask for several things which should have been already at the table, like grated cheese, salt and pepper, sharing plates should have come with the dessert as they gave enough spoons to know we were all sharing, etc. I've been here when it's jam packed and the service has always been great! This time it was less busy and we had to ask the bus boy for things. But, that being said, the waitress was very polite and immediately took care of requests when she was present. I wanted a table by the window and the host willingly accommodated us by making a 4 top for us. One plus from coming on a lesser busy time was that it was much quieter,l. Usually it's pretty loud in there when it's busy. But I always appreciate the uplifting vacation like atmosphere! I've never been disappointed, and this is probably my 4th time eating at Lucia Rose and will not my last.“
“I'm 100 percent Sicilian who was raised on the south side of Chicago. After moving to the suburbs I could never find a pizza that could match good south side Chicago pizza until I had yours. Unfortunately I don't live near by so I only get it when I visit my friend who lives in Bartlett .“
“Great place to go with your friends and have some pizza or just American-Italian food in general. I like how all the tables were stocked with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and napkins. The bathrooms could use some improvement but other than that everything was good.Parking: PlentyKid-friendliness: Good“
“Been a Rosati’s customer for 25 years using several different locations And I gotta say, I think this is the best location. I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed in any of the food. Everything has always been on point. Especially the pizza. I’ve had great wings, pasta, salads, desserts and appetizers too. I have done catering here and everything was great especially the fried chicken.“
“Did a carryout of 2 calzones, ready on time, wow they were huge, well worth the price and very tasty! They were package very well too keep the calzones and sauce hot until we arrived home. Great food and they know how to package their carry out. I highly recommend Maciano's!!“
“The stuffed pizza was very good! The thin crust, IMO, was just good. The service was very good, and the restaurant atmosphere was very good - clean, bright, modern, friendly. A fun and cheerful place to eat with friends and family!Vegetarian options: You can definitely order pizza without meat. There are salads and other options that can be ordered without meat, I believe.Parking: This is located in the Arboretum shopping area so there's plenty of parking.“
“We love JJ Twigs. The pizza is always hot and fresh and they have really good sauce & cheese. The beef sandwich with cheese on garlic bread is hands down the best around. We typically get delivery and the drivers are professional and polite. The one time we ate there the service was good, the server was hustling to keep everyone happy and fun to talk to. A low key atmosphere and ok to bring the kids!“
“Friday night is always pizza night in my house. My daughter loves coming to the "pizza store" with me to pick up our order...she's treated like a little celeb there and we love it. This past Friday was no different, so I wanted to give a shout out to the chef for making my little girl's night. We stopped in to pick up our order but forgot to ask for our free cheese. The store was bumpin' and while I didn't want to wait 15 more mins, I didn't want to be a burden on the kitchen. The chef saw I was with my daughter, and asked if the cheese was for her. When I told him it was, he simply nodded and went back into the kitchen. He came back out with my order, and 2 massive slices of cheese for my daughter. Not only is the food delicious, but service like that is why we go back. Thanks everyone!“

“We chose Billy Bricks to cater our wedding and cannot recommend them more. We loved the idea of elevated pizza for our wedding, it was a perfect balance of comfort food and wedding elegance. Billy Bricks worked with us when our guest list was unexpectedly less than the amount we originally predicted and let us tweak the package to fit our needs. Everyone raved about the food even months after our wedding, we don't regret our decision one bit.“
“Delicious food made with quality, fresh ingredients. The caramelized pear and onion pizza with the beat salad was delicious! I got the lunch special which was reasonably priced. The atmosphere/vibe is nice, too. If I could give 4.5 stars to food and service I would. I would definitely recommend to others and come back myself.“
“This bar has the look of a no frills sports bar but the food is definitely top notch. Everyone in my party had really good food but the best thing we had was the Chicken Skewers. I normally would have taken a pic of the food but when it came out, I honestly wasn't thrilled because it looked like they were going for a deconstructed look and it wasn't what I was expecting. The saving grace was that it was large portions for an appetizer. BUT.... The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I normally do not eat chicken breast but what I was served was very juicy and flavorful. I was half way through my plate when I realized I should have taken a pic. Everything else I had was good but those skewers is what will bring me back for sure. I'll add photos next time!“
“Seriously, the consistency of this restaurant's food quality is amazing. This is THE best pizza around and I have had a bad experience. The staff is professional, polite and personable, delivery is outstanding, the order is hot, the length of time / wait is extremely reasonable and the overall experience is worth every cent.“
“I love this place, and I've been going for over 10 years now. The manager might seem rough around the edges from time to time, but he's an extremely kind person. He just has a lot on his plate running a pizza place that's near and dear to so many people in and around the area. Thank you, Naps, for all you've done. I had an opportunity to see the back kitchen because I was doing an inspection on the building & I was impressed by how clean it was, and the products I was seeing them use looked authentic.“
“I have waited too long to order from here! We tried a panzerotti, cheesy garlic bread, a thin crust pizza, and tiramisu to go. All the food was yummy! The pizza was loaded with ingredients. A high quality cheese. And sausage with fennel, yum! It smells good when you walk in. Very authentic Italian food! Friendly service. Reasonable prices. I'll be back.“
“This is our family favorite pizza place, prices are great, service is outstanding and food is AWESOME, please don't waste your time somewhere else, if you are a pizza/Italian food lover, Generoso is a MUST, thank you Generoso for your great service and AWESOME food :)“
“The food was great. The gravy (marinara) over the meatball appetizer was better than mine. The arugula salad was lightly dressed letting the greens be the focus. Since it was entree sized the waiter suggested we split it. We also went with his suggestion and got the table side made Cacio E Pepe Bucatini. It was $10 more for table side prep, but they made it in a "bowled out" wheel of parmesan cheese which was entertaining, and delicious. I will definitely go back.“
“Great blend of ingredients on their sandwiches that meld perfectly together when toasted in their wood burning oven! D-lish! Their salads are great too - lotta greens, so you don't feel so guilty chowing down their pizza or sandwiches!“
“Small pocket of deliciousness brought to you by genuine Italian family with friends. The delicate taste of caprese with homemade bread was scrumptious. Fried & baked panzerotti:The bread was soft, the cheese was ooey gooey & the tomato sauce was fresh and earthly. None of that canned salty sauce. Definitely must try more when we visit again. Forgot to take picture of the shrimp & broccoli linguine but also light & flavorful. You must try“
“This was an unexpectedly pleasant experience! Fantastic friendly service, The food, exquisite and oh SO MUCH FOOD! we have enough for two more meals with the leftovers. The minastone soup, not afraid of the spice.. Perfect. The music.. Classic coroners! Very quaint and not stuffy. Great family atmosphere!! We will visit again!!“
“Went here for a first date and we loved the ambience and atmosphere and the decor! The cocktails are very well prepared and well presented, and delicious! The staff are all friendly and sociable and we have already decided to come back again soon! :-)“
“Stumbled onto this venue via Google maps while wandering around Woodfield Mall and I'm sure glad I got the opportunity to try it.Not that Schaumburg is limited with restaurants, there's plenty around but I was looking for a specific pizza joint with high ratings & reviews that wasn't a popular chain that most ppl heard of and ended up here.Marino's boasts a great all-around menu with delicious food at still reasonable prices with a clean dining area and ultra friendly service.We live up in Beach Park in NE Lake County so time will tell when we'll be back if ever in the area again. Everyone enjoyed their food and that pizza was awesome!This venue is a gem and the residents of EGV are lucky to have this. Always try my best to support a local business and may the owner(s) have continued success & prosperity.“
“Everything was delicious. The pizza was divine. The crust was perfectly done. The service was excellent. Loaded with meat. So good. We had the family pizza. We also had jalapeño poppers and breasticks. Yummy. We had delivery, and we received it in less time than was stated for delivery. Best pizza ever.“
“We've been ordering pizza here for years and we love the pizza. The other night we got an extra large pizza in order mozzarella sticks and a Chicken Caesar salad and the total came back $59 . When I looked at the receipt more closely, the price of the Chicken Caesar salad was 17.95... this was not a gigantic salad this was a dinner sized salad for 1 person absolutely I... And I didn't get any dressing for this $18 salad. We will always order the pizza because my family loves it but the rest we may skip because of high prices“
“it was a wonderful fun experience...They accommodated our large party in a private area. And the servers were kind and patient with our many underage patrons. the food was delicious. Even the salads had a great variety. Beside the regular thin crust we tried a barbaque chicken pizza and it was amazing. A spinach, a pepperoni, and an deluxe meat..They also had a great selection of some very light cocktails that were extremely flavorful.....we got the cheese pull!! that was fun!!“
“Jet’s pizza is hands down my favorite. Not sure what I like best: the ez-pz ordering on the app, the prompt & courteous delivery, or the overall perfect, delicious pizza. Their thin and crispy is just that - thin AND *crispy*! No moving these pizzas from the box to the heated pizza stone in the oven to crisp up the crust. It’s already perfect. And the Detroit-style 4- or 8-corner pizzas?! Take that to a potluck party and make new best friends. Keep it all to yourself and and enjoy every bite.“
“Out of all the pizza places in the area, this is the only place I'll even go to anymore. Most consistently good pizza and service, all the employees are super nice, and there always seems to be some sort of special going on. The parking lot is kind of small, but hasn't ever been an issue.Parking: Lot is kind of small, although I've never had a problem finding a spot, it does feel a bit cramped.“
