It's been over a half century since I've had Casciani's Pizza. We were both in Cicero then, and…read morewhen they moved one way, and I another, we lost touch. But my memories of it were strong, snd since I had to run an errand in their neighborhood, I decided to see if it was as good as I remembered. First off, if you're looking for cracker thin crust, keep looking! This is a nice bready dough, soft to the tooth but crisp on the edges. Next, the sauce, cheese and sausage, all wonderfully flavored and balanced, were so copious, my straight-from-the-oven delight slipped apart on the short trip to my car, creating one very messy looking pizza. And even though I had to grab a fork to dig in, the taste was definitely worth it. I've had mixed results revisiting the pizzas of my past, but this one did not disappoint. I probably won't get back out that way very often, but would most certainly order again if I do. Thanks for the memories, Casciani's!

Driving through Chicago I'm trying out different pizza and sub restaurants and I stumbled upon Al's…read morePizzeria in Riverside/ Broadview. It seemed like one of those mom and pop hole-in-the-wall spots that usually have the best food! I usually do not care about bad customer service, but this was something else. The cashier was too busy hanging out with his friends all behind the counter to acknowledge me properly. No greeting, no welcome--just a flat "What can I get you?" Meanwhile, his friends got better treatment like they were VIPs. I decided to try the meatball sandwich, which turned out to be a joke. It came with two mediocre-sized meatballs on a dry roll that tasted like it was leftover from the day before--tough, crumbly, and hard to bite into. Honestly, I've had better sandwiches at gas stations. The side salad was barely that. Just the woody core of iceberg lettuce with two sad cucumber slices and a cherry tomato thrown in. They did give me a full container of ranch, which was overkill for the salad--but I ended up using it on the slice of sausage pizza I got, so that worked out. Speaking of the pizza--it was okay. Not terrible, but not memorable either. Then again, can you really mess up pizza? All in all, I won't be going back unless it's to give them a second chance to make that sandwich edible.

Peace and love, everyone!!…read more It's been a long minute since I left a review, so I'm happy to talk about a new food place! My wife and I finally ordered from Paisans Pizza in Oak Lawn, something we've been wanting to do for a long minute. As I have been working out and watching how much I eat since December, I very much look forward to having a 'big back day', as my daughter says! So the online ordering process was very easy. I ordered a medium cheese pizza, a medium sausage pizza, the Southwestern egg rolls, and finally some garlic parmesan wings. When I went to pick up the food, it took a few minutes to find a parking space as there are no spaces for pick-up orders. But when I went in there, nice ambiance with the planes, the cars, and the camper, which is where I had to pick up my order from. The place was jumping (I was there about 6pm on Saturday), and it seemed like a nice overall vibe. Ok so I pick up my order and get back to the crib! First, the pizza: both pizzas were really good. Nice amount of cheese, nice amount of sausage, for both, nice amount of sauce. Now the pizza was good,let me be clear, but on the box it says the 'best pizza in the world'. So my honest opinion is that is it better than all the other pizza places in the area (Domino's, Nonna's, etc)? YES...easily! Is Paisans better than Beggars Pizza? I say yes, my wife says no. Either way, we both agree that they have some good pizza! The garlic parmesan wings lived up to the hype. Crispy wings, nice amount of seasoning, not overpowering. As for the Southwestern egg rolls, this was the only thing I ordered where I was like 'meh'. The shell wasn't really crispy, I think it was a bit bland, and the sauce cup had opened up and spilled in its takeout box. Put it this way...Chili's Southwestern egg rolls are much better, by comparison, in terms of flavor. All in all, this was not a bad eating experience. The food was good all around, and for me, only the egg rolls could have been better. Also, the food was a little on the expensive side....so that is something to keep in mind also. So, does this mean we'll be back? Absolutely!

Needless to say,…read morethere was not a good restaurant in Alsip so we had to go to Oak Lawn for Francesca's on 95th! We had a great time, with great service and really good old fashioned Italian food!!! For our appetizer, we had the sausage and peppers. GAME CHANGER!!! Neither of us had eaten this classic Italian appetizer before and Francesca's version was a great introduction to this dish. Surprisingly, it was NOT the sausage that was the star of this presentation - it was the sauce and the peppers. The sauce was part top notch olive oil, part Italian seasonings and it was a wonderfully delicious background to each bite. The peppers (green, red & yellow) were perfectly cooked, luxuriously soft but still with a little crisp to them. Those peppers were perfectly cooked! I do think the sausage, while okay, was not up to the standard of the rest of this dish. For my main, I had the Linguini Alla Caruso - shrimp, garlic, olive oil with a basil-pine nut pesto sauce. It was very good, very good. Be warned though the sauce leans a little to the sour or harsh flavor. Not too bad, I certainly ate it up, but there was certainly a sharp taste every once in a while. My spouse had Dana's Bolognese. He was very happy with it! The overwhelming reaction to our main dishes was "holy crap" that's a lot of food! The dishes were as large as a coffee table and we NEVER could have eaten all that food no matter how long we sat there at dinner. Each dish was big enough to feed both of us and several people at nearby tables!!! But the best part of Francesca's on 95th was the service. Everyone was so friendly, so nice, hard working and willing to take care of our every need. Seriously, the staff worked their butts off and provided some of the best service I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Hats off to everyone from the hostess to the server to the bus people. You all really took care of us that evening. You will NOT walk away from Francesca's hungry! Is the food the best Italian I have ever had? Probably not but it is definitely solid and a great place to enjoy a good meal.
