“We love this place! It has become our regular pizza joint for takeout. Both the original stuffed and classic thin crust pizza is amazing, and we love that they offer delicious salads as well. They are also consistently quick with turning out your order, even on weekends. We have ordered dozens of times and I have never had to wait past the scheduled pick-up time. Nancy's always provides us with delicious food and fabulous service.Parking: Never had any parking issues.Kid-friendliness: My kids love the pizza and spaghetti & meatballs.“

“The owner took great care of us knowing I had a longer drive home with the pizzas by giving us extra hot honey packets, extra sauce, and not cutting the pizza beforehand. The pizza (hell raiser and the kids loved their cheese pizza) was outstanding, as expected based on the great reviews, I just wish we had even more and were closer because now we dont have leftovers!“

“Sals always passes the vibe check. The pizza is great! The staff is always friendly and the delivery service is exceptional. We've never had an issue and we've been ordering for years. The taste is always consistent. You truly couldn't ask for better quality. Thanks always guys!!“

“Let me start off by saying wow….. Just wow. This was more than just a pizza, but an experience. Dave Portnoy shined a light in the darkness of deep dish pizza in Lake County. I tried Uncle Jeremiah's for the first time today- i’ll go back to the first sentence, just wow. 10/10 pizza , 10/10 experience. I will definitely be returning. If not daily, bi-daily. I saved a spoonful of the sauce for tomorrow. Thanks Uncle Jerry’s!“

“Easily the best pizza slice spot me and my boy Bill have been to since we started our quest, of eating a slice of pizza from a different restaurant every day for the past 2 months. This place has amazing customer service and a delectable saucy slice,this absolute class act brought us garlic bread and sauce with our slices!! Best pizza and best prices I’ve ever seen at a pizza joint ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I was re-watching the HBO series The Sopranos this past week and noticed how the cast kept eating a ton of Gabagool (Capicola) - which is a delicious Italian cold cut I had never had before - so I did a Yelp search to see which restaurants in my area served it! I found that Pizza Factory had it on their menu so I ordered 2 of their sandwiches that had it (The Jersey Boy and The Outfit), plus I also ordered a 16 inch thin crust pizza called the Union Stockyard, a Chicago Blue salad and chicken noodle soup, for carry out last night! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Plus, I loved how they had Tony Soprano's picture under The Jersey Boy Sandwich's description in their online menu --LOL)! In addition, my order was quickly and accurately prepared when I came to pick it up (the sweet young lady at the counter was fun to talk to and professional as well)! The interior of the restaurant looked cozy, clean and inviting! I would definitely come back here to try more of their amazing food!“

“If anyone likes Polish food, the POLISH AMERICAN BISTRO in Barrington is amazing. So authentic, delicious, clean & owners are very friendly. Small, casual with great desserts too. They give you plenty to eat. If Borscht is soup of the day, I highly recommend it. 8 of us loved our various meals & will return! We want what the other guy had haha!Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking right in front. Plenty of room to wheel even in the bathroom. Appropriate hand grips & toilette height.“

“Went with the Hubby on a Saturday date and had a great time! The other customers were friendly and we ended up chatting with half the bar before the night was through. 1 pool table but everyone was super chill taking turns to play. Bathroom was clean. Bartender was very attentive. Looking forward to going back!“

“We took a day trip to Chicago and jumped on the train here in Cary. Asked a friend who lives in the area for a dinner suggestion on our way back through. He suggested Cucina Rustica and he was spot on. Amazing service, very attentive to our table. Food was beautifully cooked, tasted superb. Nice quiet atmosphere great for a nice dinner out with my wife.“

“This is the perfect pre-show dining experience. You will leave satisfied, not full, and in a great mood. Why? Because the servers are pleasant, engaging and attentive. The food is delicious, and the drinks are amazing. I had the black angus burger sliders, which were made perfectly medium-rare and very flavorful. My wife had the Scallops small plate with had a very nice presentation. We imbibed on a couple of gin cocktails including the mango habanero and the paloma and both were very good. It was fairly busy, with only a couple open tables, and it wasn't too loud that you couldn't have a conversation. I would not hesitate to recommend this place and I look forward to our next visit.“

“Really enjoyed the pizza, calamari and the salads. Service was very good and the noise level was satisfactory. We arrived at 4pm on a Saturday which was a good time. This place gets very busy later. We were a group of seven and had a large table. Turns out another group was waiting for our table but we were never pressured to leave. We will visit this restaurant again. It’s a great place for a birthday party.“

“Random Find for me! This place is amazing. Needed some brisket for some poppers for a party. The owner was so hopefully. I tried several different menu items and everything was so delicious. This place is a 10+++ in my book. I highly recommend the brisket and wings.“

“Went here tonight while here on business and what a great place to eat and hang out! Food, service and atmosphere was great!! Our server Crystal made it even better by just being delightful while herself was busy. I will be moving here soon and going to make this a regular place to visit.“

“Loved SLYCE Pizza. My wife and I are big fans of coal-fired pizza. Where I'm from in the NYC tri-state area, the best Italian food is in neighborhood family tavern restaurants and those thin crust tavern pies are cooked in super hot ovens. SLYCE brings it all back. Quality ingredients, great suggested combinations, good service and pleasant ambience. There's a lot of pizza choices in Chicagoland and we drive 25 minutes to SLYCE. There must be at least 100 pizza joints in the 25 mile radius. I'll take SLYCE. Keep up the great work!“

“Stopped in quick for some pizza and to watch the game. Staff was friendly and helpful. Loved their tater tots. Pizza wasn't our style, but hit the spot after a long drive. Great place to watch the game.Parking: Lot is pretty small and a little difficult to get in and out of, but there was parking available.“

“Kiefs reef is a fun clean and friendly establishment. My family and I often come here and are treated like family. The service is amazing the food is great and the atmosphere is very inviting. The waitresses and staff are wonderful. Couldnt ask for a better home town bar and restaurant.“

“This is a love letter to Galati's.Galati's catered our wedding.Christina was our main point of contact. From start to finish she made everything seamless. She made wonderful suggestions for our menu. The prices were incredible, especially for the quality and quantity of the food.Our wedding menu main courses:Pesto w/ Gnocchi & Grilled Chicken (crowd favorite)Shrimp alla Diavolo w/ LinguiniBaked MostaccioliTiramisu (instead of wedding cake, again, crowd favorite)I cannot stress this enough: Everyday since our wedding, we have had people comment to us about how incredible the food was. The Tiramisu and the Pesto w/ Gnocchi & Grilled Chicken STOLE. THE. SHOW.We will be returning for many date nights in the future, not only to taste the same delicious dishes from our wedding night to reminisce but to support this incredible restaurant. This is a hidden diamond that you do not want to miss out on.Support local. Galati's is incredible.Our wedding was at Lehmann Park & our reception was next door at The Barrel Room @ Harbor Brewing Company (Check out my review there for another glowing experience).“

“Great food. Wonderful staff.How many places actually have slices of pizza these days during lunch hour especially a huge NY style slice. ..Detroit style pizza is amazing and the best around. Typically don't have that during lunch hour but definitely recommend ordering when available.“

“First time... had curbside pickup and the food was still nice and hot when I got it home. Tasted great! Will definitely be back. Since we have been back multiple times now and are in, there has always been great food and a nice atmosphere. Twas back again tonight and indulged in the happy hour deals for apps and drinks. Great food, drink, and service as usual.“

“If you want good classic american food (burgers,hotdogs etc) with a normal staff and atmosphere and vibe that you remember growing up in, it doesn't get better than this. Same awesome no bs owner since forever, that has only ever hired awesome employees. Eating here is what it felt like before social media and politics took over. It's refreshing to have a normal experience and this place has it. 5 stars doesn't seem enough.“

“Pizza was pretty decent. Considering we live in an area where there is no real outstanding pizza, it will do. Their specials are a good value, another problem with ordering pizza these days, it’s so expensive you might as well go for a proper meal, especially when you never seem to be able to say, “Wow! This pizza is the best!” Service was very good and fast.“

“Solid local pizza place. And they separated the gambling from the dining area, thankfully. Pizza has always been fast and correct. Staff have always been super nice. Regular medium crust pizza, exactly what you want from a neighborhood place. Phone and in person orders only.“

“Rosati's Pizza of Lakemoor was great. We've had Rosati's before just not from this location. We ordered ahead and the pizza was ready when we arrived. We decided to dine in and a staff member brought the pizza to a table for us. The pizza was fresh, hot and delicious. We were the only ones dining and had a wonderful quiet relaxing dinner. Friendly staff, clean establishment and fantastic pizza!“

“I have had the pizza, which is always tasty. Today, I didn't feel like cooking and ordered a Friday Fish Fry dinner to go! Was delicious with nice portions of cod, fries, hush puppies and cole slaw. Scott always gives great service and cooks everything to perfection! J's often has some nice events and bands too.“

“Sweet Melissa's Pizza and Pub was a great place to stop for a beer and food. Inside was really nice with lots of tv's. Meatball Sandwich was a monster. I had to cut the meatballs in half just to handle it. Meatballs were just ok. Parmesan Fries, Italian Egg Rolls and the soup were all delicious. The Chicken Tenders were just average. Very friendly and professional staff.“

“This is a takeout only restaurant. Food is excellent. I ordered a small meal ahead for 2 people and was treated very well. Bill was professional and had helpful suggestions. For amazing deep dish,pasta, or cannolis I highly recommend you try this place.“

“The food was outstanding, pizza was the best around. I know the beefs are top notch. You get a chance to stop in and eat there, I would definitely make a must. Went with big group and chicken is fantastic, the ribs are melting, the deep dish pizza was out of this world but my favorite was the loaded tater tots. Anyone that lives close, they deliver which could be really dangerous. Hope this helps. Out.“

“Had a gyros, some jalapeño poppers, onion rings, and brownie. The gyros were good but meat a little over cooked. Liked the onion rings because they were whole onions. Jalapeño poppers were cream cheese filled good but nothing special. Overall, a nice place would go back. I want to try Italian Beef next.“

“Cozy place with good food and friendly staff. We usually get the Village Special pizza which comes with sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onion. They have a variety of other items on the menu as well. The ambiance reminds me of a pub in the northwoods of Wisconsin.“

“Glad this place is back. Used to eat there every Friday, then after Ron passed it went downhill and I hadn’t been back since. Saw the reviews would good so I decided to give them another try after several years and I’m happy to say it was as good as it used to “

“First I wanna say I normally don't write reviews but today felt needed. I stopped into this mod location and I had the best experience of my life at this location. First I was greeted by a young man named Mathew he was nothing but helpful and was also very charming. After he took my order another young man named randy made my pizza lickady split. I would 100% recommend this mod. Best experience I have ever had at a fast food restaurant .“

“I really liked That's Amoré Pizza. We got several pies. I got Dino's Special, my GF got the cauliflower crust pepperoni pizza. I would have preferred more sauce, but I like my pizza to have so much sauce, I'm swimming in it.She liked her pizza, but there wasn't enough sauce on hers. It smelled really good, but they did skimp a little on her sauce.I would go back, but ask for more sauce on both 'Za's. It's pretty cool to see them make your pizza right in front of you.Parking: It's better to park behind the restaurant, as there isn't much in the front of the shop. Just follow the signs to their back door (it's through a short corridor).“

“Great food and atmosphere. I drive 40 minutes from Elk Grove whenever I want good thin crust pizza. The food and drinks are priced well and Kyra is an awesome server. Super attentive and friendly. Definitely an awesome bar/restaurant with great staff.“

“Antioch pizza shop has the best pizza around, it’s consistently delicious and I think fairly priced compared to some others. What really prompted me to write a review though was tonight our pizza wasn’t ready on time (had 10 mins to go), I didn’t mind because these things happen. So I went to give her my credit card and the cashier told me that the pizzas were free because of the wait! I was so shocked (and super happy hah). Really excellent customer service, thank you all so much!“

“One of my favorite places in Cary. Great owner, super nice and a great business man. I have tried a few different dishes from here and am obsessed with their caprese salad, chopped salad, buffalo chicken wrap, and their cauliflower crust pizza. They have delivery and also pickup. Their fruit when in season is super fresh and I honestly cant even find that fresh at a grocery store. Sometimes I drive 20 minutes to pick up their super fresh caprese salad and fruit side.Definitely recommend giving this place a shot if you haven't already!!! By far one of my favorite go to in Cary!“

“Moved to Cary recently and have tried a few pizza places. Tony Vs is by far my family's favorite. The pizza is constantly good, the staff is friendly and somehow it's always ready in 15-20 minutes which is great because we order last minute all the time!“

“Me and my Mom had to hang out around here while my Cellphone was getting fixed up down the way at the Cellphone Repair place, My Mom got a Cheeseburger ? and Fries ? and I got Ribs and Fries ? and a small orders of Onion Rings and Mozzarella Sticks everything was Absolutely Perfect, we requested no added Spices on anything and they made everything just right. It has been years since I had Beef Ribs that Tender they were Delicious. Will definitely be back soon, and not just to get my Cellphone Repaired down the way like last time.Dietary restrictions: I requested No Added Spices and they came through for my family.“

“I order pizza from here once a month. My regular order usually consists of panpizzas, one with Alfredo, cheese, banana peppers, spinach, and chicken. The other one is usually barbecue sauce, cheese pepperoni. Each time I come here, I am always greeted by multiple crew members, whether they are at the register, oven, or pizza station. I feel welcomed, and my order IS NEVER WRONG. NEVER. The pizza is always just right with the right amount of toppings. Whoever is at the register always gets a tip from me because of how I feel when I come here.Parking: There are plenty of parks here. Also, it has handicap spot in plenty, too.“

“Celebrated my fiancé 30th birthday there and it was the best. Kenny made sure we had everything set days before the party, showed up to the party to help out and make sure everything was great. He would keep up with checking in every so often which was nice to have the owner involved and actually care how it was all going. The bartenders were super awesome and made sure to check on everyone who was in the golf simulator on drinks and food. Overall I’m so thrilled we did his party there. Would 100% recommend lulu’s to anyone who is looking for a nice, clean, laidback vibe and overall fun. Thank you guys for being so awesome!“

“Delivery so quck -it was right out of the oven ! I Finally found theBest Thin Pizza, right here in Barrington. Loved the authentic homemade sauce & freshest ingredients. *no need to ask for Xtra cheese- O-M-G-oey-.Ness! All with tastey crispy crust! YUMMY!! Thank you George - such friendly accommodating service .☆☆☆☆☆Support Local Family owned restaurants and you too will find the "Bests" of NW CHICAGO“

“Always friendly staff and patrons. Great place to rest a while. By ? ?‍♂️ or ? or ?. My go to place while out fishing with the grandkids too. It's the only place they want to go for lunch and to fish the channels getting there. ?“

“First time getting this pizza on a recommendation from a coworker. Absolutely worth it especially if your trying to feed the house and just make a stop on the way home.Really cool to be able to place the order in advance and pull around to the back to grab and go. Great tavern style thin crust pizza. Sauced appropriately so it doesn't get soggy. Decent amount of toppings. Good crunch too the crust. Over all one of the better pizzas in Lake County.If you want some solid food for an honest price this is your place to stop in or order to go!“

“They're always nice, they are polite and helpful and supportive. They do a nice dipped Italian Beef and for a native Chicago person that's an imperative. They also gave me extra au jus which is why I keep coming back.Dietary restrictions: They're super flexible. I really value that, my family has sensitivity to certain food groups and I know Jimano's will accommodate them when they come through.“

“My son and I had a great experience here for his birthday! It was nice seeing the team disinfecting everything throughout the time we were there. The games were very fun for my 4 year old son and even me. We had a blast! Great staff and experience!“

“Phenomenal pizza if you like Chicago stuffed. I love the stuffed spinach, amazing! Only small gripe is every time I go to pickup my order I feel like it's never ready when they tell me it'll be done, so I wait for about 5 minutes frequently.Parking: Tough to grab parking in front of the door, last time I got lucky. There is however a giant lot so you'll get a spot. I'm probably being too picky.“

“Everything about this location is nice and on top of that they have ice cream. Yes ice cream! They have all the regular flavors plus things like carrot cake and blueberry crumble. The managers/owner? is a sweetheart. The employees are nice and friendly, the restaurant is clean and the food is good. They even offer painting classes sometimes. What a great addition to our community.“

“Wasn’t eating meat today so I got the pepper with egg sandwich it was really tasty and fresh. My friend got the fettuccine Alfredo which was really good also not too heavy with good flavor. Really good potato salad, potatoes were cut thin which made the potato salad more flavorful. Clean and nice staff.“

“Ordered a pizza ahead of time via grubhub and they hadn't even received it yet (thats a grubhub problem), showed up at the time grubhub said and he got my pizza started right away despite not receiving the grubhub order yet. That is top tier customer service right there. Pizzas always come out tasty. I recommend a pan pizza with italian beef and hot peppers.“

“5/5 I can't speak more highly of the quality of the pizza ingredients. Delicious pizza. The crust is perfect. The toppings are superb. The location is prime real estate. The restaurant is small but super cute and clean. The owner Brittany is so welcoming and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend. My new go to for pizza!“
