It wasn't fresh baked like most Italian restaurants, it was a a couple slices from out of a bag. Our entrees, spaghetti with meatballs and the baked lasagne were very good as was the salad-all very fresh. Our service was ok, but our waitress couldn't get the bartender to make our drinks. We had to ask for them 3 times and the bartender was either not even behind the bar or was just chatting with people sitting at the bar...in other words, the bartender just wasn't working. When we did get them, my husband's drink was terrible. He ordered a dirty gin martini and it looked like the bartender had poured a half a jar of olive juice in his glass. And these were not cheap cocktails. $15 for a martini and $12 for my tall Tito's with club soda...they charged me an extra $1 for my tall glass. We didn't try the pizzas but they looked good coming out of the kitchen. We will go back to try them at some point, but we won't order any of their overpriced cocktails next time.

I also ordered Lemon Pepper Wings from this location and they were so good! I love that they don't skimp on the seasoning, either. The service is always exemplary and the employees are very friendly.

When I saw the high ratings, I decided to give it a try. In my opinion, Vero has the best Chicago deep-dish pizza. My personal favorite pizza is the Sears Tower since it has a little bit of everything. The Sears Tower is basically their version of a supreme pizza. Not only do the toppings taste fresh, but the cheese and pizza sauce are also loaded with flavor. The servers there are friendly and helpful, and the first time I went, our server was very happy when I told them that Vero was not my favorite place for Chicago deep-dish pizza. They are also more than happy to offer suggestions for some of their most popular pizza selections if you are unsure which one to get. I also liked the atmosphere of the place, as it is nice and low-key, making it a great place to relax during their quieter hours. I highly recommend Vero to anyone who is looking for a great Chicago deep-dish pizza.

You can choose their custom creations or build your own pizza (which we did). As well, there are 3 different options of crust consistencies. For those that are gluten free, not to worry they have that as a choice and a cauliflower crust too! There's also some tasty looking pastas, salads & sandwiches. We started off with a few adult beverages & wings Did the two sauces (12 ct) buffalo bbq & buffalo garlic parmesan. So surprised by the taste of the buffalo garlic parmesan. Best one "flavor wise", we've had out thus far. Great wings! For our pizza again we did the build your own. Went with the thin crust topped with pepperoni, garlic and fresh basil. It came out piping hot, fresh and fantastic. The crust was amazing. Light & crispy and held up to those ingredients perfectly. The way that the pizza is presented and cut into those grids gives it a stylish dimension & easier to share amongst others. A genius creation to make it effortless to handle. Atmosphere was fun. Even had time for a karaoke tune! Our server was polite and always on top of things to make sure we were being well taken care of throughout our experience. Superb customer service! This location is a family operated business. You can feel the presence of that right when you walk thru the doors. These are the best types of restaurants as you feel the comfortable warm hospitality while at the same time pleasantly enjoying a good authentic Italian experience. If anyone is missing excellent midwest cuisine, please visit. You will not regret it!

They had some college basketball on TV but volume was very low, which was great. I was able to think, chat and listen to my music in ear after conversation was done. Place was clean. Service was excellent. Young lady at the register was learning but diligent and got the help she needed. Robert was personable and kind and conversational. Ordered 3 slices while i waited for a to go order. Barbecue Chicken, Hawaiian and Margarita. All three had amazing crust and undercarriage, almost zero bend. Margarita isn't my favorite pizza in the world but it was pretty darn good. Mozzarella was fresh, cherry tomatoes were good and just enough olive oil. 4.5 out of 5 Hawaiian is one of my favorites and this was great. Lots of ham and pineapple. The flavor was strong. 4.5 out of 5. Barbecue Chicken and Bacon was very good but had a tad more barbecue sauce than i need. I will ask for about 25% less next time. 4 out of 5. Garlic knots and half pepperoni and half supreme/combo to go. Wife really enjoyed the pepperoni. I had a bite and thought is was pretty standard. 4 out of 5. Combo was good, but the crust was soft in the middle (water from the veggies?). Undercarriage was weak but was better towards the crust. 3.5 out of 5. The garlic knots were top notch. Garlic and buttery, but not too strong. Crunchy on the outside amd soft on thr inside. Overall, this was a very strong showing. It's gonna be a problem for me that this place is 5 mins from my home. I will likely eat in or just do the by the slice to keep that strong crunch. I may ask for some jalapeño on the Hawaiian or barbecue chicken to get a little heat.

Wife said we had them before, but I don't remember. That's never a good sign. I will start with negative item that had no positives. The traditional wings. I requested them well done because we like our wings crispy and they arrived barely done. Literally right on the line of done and not done. Only six wings. I had to stick them in my Ninja Toaster oven the finishing cooking. Very disappointing. We order a margarita pie and pepperoni. We got an additional pepperoni for free. The dough was fluffy. Had a decent rigidity to it, but like the wings it could have cooked a little longer. A little char on that crust brings a nice Smokey flavor and crispy bite to it. The cheese and topping were ok. Nothing really wowed there. The sauce can make or break a pizza. It's literally what brings a flavor balance to the whole thing. On the plus side they have a savory sauce. I'm not a fan of the sweet sauces so that was good. That said, thats all it was just good. Another place playing too safe with the seasoning. All in all it's a decent pie. 3 1/2 stars for the pizza. 1 1/5 for the wings. Seriously... the wings broke my heart.

My wife and I have lived in Florence for well over 20 years, and we remember when A&M was THE place to go eat. We were there at least once per week for pizza, subs, salads, pretty much everything on the menu. We ordered a philly cheesesteak sub, fries and a grilled chicken Caesar salad. They forgot the roll and Caesar salad dressing for my wife's salad, the fries were a bit overcooked, and my sub had what looked like some sort of meat with onions in it. I cannot truly identify it as a philly cheesesteak sandwich. Just for context, this was on a Sunday afternoon, and when I went to pick up the order, there were maybe two people in the place and the parking lot was empty. It's just disappointing. Their food is extremely hit-or-miss when ordering. The pizza is typically good, but occasionally it does come soggy with oil or they skimped on the toppings. I would like to see them get their quality back up consistently to justify their price increases over the years. read more

Second best pizza I've ever had! The premiere pizza was at The Good Life Cafe in Iida, Nagano, Japan. Ex-pat Bobby from Baltimore ages his dough for 3-5 days and makes a Diablo pepperoni pizza that is the best thing I've ever eaten. I've spent several years trying to find something in the US that even comes close. This is it. Last night I had "The Original Italian Pizza" and added pepperoni and black olives. Here's the description from the menu "Fresh homemade mozzarella cheese, fresh ground tomatoes, basil, imported olive oil, grated Romano cheese and a pinch of oregano make this pizza ....." Yes, that's right--fresh homemade mozzarella! It makes that plastic crud at Pizza Hut seem like the true abomination it is! This was a magnificent pizza in a decor that would make Restaurant Impossible cringe, but nobody cared! The place was packed, there for the food, not the decor. Can't recommend the pizza highly enough. The dough was sublime! read more
