    Honestly, we review everywhere we eat and we never give it a 5. But AL's was absolutely different. The pizza was amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! Try it !!!! You won't regret!

    Al's Special Pizza

    Great sandwiches, Pizza is out of this world. The skinny kid behind the counter is really nice. The big guy that's there knows his food! Only way this place could be better is if it served doughnuts! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Classic old school pizza place that updates what's needed, and doesn't touch what doesn't need to be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of my top places!

    This pizza was delicious! The entire pizza was devoured by a family of 4 in less than half an hour. The crust was crispy. The sauce was flavorful and amazing. Because it's Chicago style, the toppings are under the cheese. This pizza was topped with onions, sausage, and mushrooms. The large pizza costs $25. I would definitely eat here again!

    Just stopping by to say that for 10 years your pizzas haven't changed. Still the best pizza in town! Thank you!

    Just received my pizza. The roast beef was pretty much nonexistent. Other than that, not bad.

    We went on a Sunday night and sat in the front small room that only has six tables and it was very…read morequaint. Our server, I think his name was Jose, was very professional, courteous, and friendly. He came back to check on us numerous times and was very quick bringing anything we needed. We had the asparagus salad, the Darte salad, the grilled shrimp appetizer, the grilled vegetables, the grilled calamari, the carpaccio of octopus, and chicken Parmesan. At the start, they brought out bread, olive oil and grated cheese. The bread was a little dry on the outside, but it was warm. The asparagus salad was missing something - maybe salt? It just felt like it lacked flavor even though it had Gorgonzola cheese on it. The grilled vegetables, however, were perfect. It was a combination of one longstem, artichoke heart, one long grilled carrot, a couple of slices of zucchini, and a couple of asparagus. We had asked for them to be well grilled and they were sort of, I can't imagine how few grill marks they would have on them if they hadn't done what he had asked. The Darte salad was a nice size portion with mixed greens, golden and regular raisins, and walnuts. The balsamic vinaigrette is nice and flavorful, and doesn't separate the way it can at some places. The grilled shrimp were very good, nicely seasoned and very well charred. The grilled calamari were great, although they were quite small. There were many more of them than on the pictures. The carpaccio of octopus was very nicely, presented with very thin slices of octopus a nice bright dressing over it and the greens. The chicken Parmesan was a very large portion with the breaded chicken cutlet underneath a large layer of cheese ravioli all topped with marinara sauce, and then cheese, which was browned very well, it was very tasty. For dessert we had two different gelato - the maple bourbon, which would go great with a banana cake and the hazelnut chocolate, which was unbelievably flavorful and smooth. The pistachio and ricotta cake looks very good, but we didn't want to get three desserts. Maybe next time!

Despite being regulars at many local establishments and arriving well-dressed, we were met with an immediate sense of exclusion. After being seated and receiving bread, we were completely ignored for over twenty minutes. The restaurant was not crowded, and we watched as servers consistently attended to the other three tables while failing to even offer us drinks. The disparity in service was so blatant that it felt as though we were unwelcome due to our background. After waiting an additional five minutes without any acknowledgement, we chose to walk out. We did not receive an apology or any intervention from the staff upon our departure. It is deeply troubling to be treated this way. If certain guests are not welcome in your establishment, I question why we were offered a table in the first place. I hope you take this feedback seriously to ensure that no other patrons are subjected to such discriminatory treatment.
