Family-owned for over 30 years, this restaurant continues to grow and shine. The meatballs and pizza are Goldbelly staples. For those of you with an adventurous spirit, try the 10 pound meatball sandwich and see if you can win the $5,000 prize for fastest consumption. I can't tell you a favorite because so many of them are perfection. I love the Vodka sauce, the Bolognese, the chicken and dumplings soup (which is a staple there); their salads are the freshest you'll get and the dressings are homemade. The owners, Dominic and Chris, are graduates of the Culinary Institute of America and it shows in all their dishes. For those of you who like a bit of a kick, they make their own habanera dressing. One last thing, the staff is superb. You're greeted with a smile, the owners go from table to table making sure everything is perfect, and the prices are great. read more

Stopped in and tried a slice of their pizza it was ok at best. I was hoping they had their meatball pizza available by the slice. Nothing I would go crazy over. It's decent casual join. The pizza slice was $5. The service was very friendly and attentive. The inside had an old school kind of feeling, but a little different since it was inside a strip mall. They do have a large wrap around bar that I wish I could have hung out at for a beer and try some other food. read more

Just had the best salad .. Tex Mex salad was delicious 10/10 recommend! My kids got the chicken Alfredo and loved it!! Can't wait to try the rest of the stuff. Glad they are so close by. read more

This restaurant is amazing!!! Their food is so good! It's insane! You have to try this place! What he orders: The meatball sandwich. He says there is none better and trust me he gets one from any place we try. The fried chicken sandwich is his new addiction though. He loves the raspberry habañero sauce so much, we now have a bottle of it in the fridge. What I order: The calzone. I'm a weirdo and I don't like a lot of toppings in my calzone. Actually, I like it plain. Just cheese and sauce wrapped in their dough. Baked and then coated in their garlic butter. Oh, and I get a side of that butter. That butter- which in all likelihood is just butter and garlic put in a blender is the s***. I had some leftover and I used it to cook a filet or fish in, and wow. I mean. I need to know the proportion of garlic to butter so I can make this at home. The meatball appetizer. I get one order and save half for another day and you know what? It's fantastic reheated in the oven. I don't get it. The meatballs don't dry out! We are so obsessed with two dishes each we haven't tried anything else. I know! I know! We need to! If these four dishes are excellent, I'm sure so much if not everything else on their menu is equally as delicious. Warning: my photos are pretty terrible. They do not do this place justice! read more

We love going to Bartolini's when we are in town. Our go to is of course the meatballs. My kids absolutely love the meatballs. My parents transported frozen bags of meatballs to TN, about 6 hours from Bartolini's. They are still fresh and amazing! My family is currently in a meatball coma from devouring the meatballs! You'd be silly to pass up these meatballs. I love Bartolini's because it is more than just a dining experience. The owners are constantly walking around talking to the customers and ensuring that the food is good. I have never had a bad experience here. Between the food, the servers, the owners and the atmosphere I know that my belly is going to be full and my heart will be happy after visiting Bartolini's! read more

Came to visit the new location off 147th. The space is more modern and open than when it was located in the plaza off Pulaski. Parking is VERY limited. When we came in we noticed the three tables legit outside the restrooms which I thought was extremely odd. Walking to the restroom you can smell the soap and a strange scent which would make me nauseous and lose my appetite if I was ever sat there. If I were the owners I would suggest utilizing that space for something different than what it is now. Service was subpar, our waitress never introduced herself and was not attentive. Food is just okay, pizza is very greasy and lacks an sufficient amount of sauce. Don't believe I will be making a trip back anytime soon. read more

The food is very good; however, ever since they moved, their prices went way up. They used to offer pasta specials but now you have to build your own and that gets very pricey. Parking stinks and lately you can't get in. It's a shame since we used to like going there. Hostesses can sometimes be rude and forget to seat you after you've been waiting. read more

My favorite restaurant. The owners Chris and Dominic are fantastic and care about their customers. The food is outstanding, they're known for their meatballs but honestly every special they make is outstanding. read more

Their Meatball pizza is the BEST! We even get it Goldbelly shipped to us to California with meatballs even 3 months read more

We ordered this via Goldbelly to be delivered to us in Mountain View, CA. Got the package for 2 deep dish and 2 thin crust pizzas. We ordered a little over a week in advance and was able to get free shipping. Our delivery was shipped overnight from Chicago and arrived on the estimated delivery date. All the pizzas were packed pretty well in a styrofoam box with ice packs. The only minor issue was that one of the thin crusts might have been knocked around by an ice pack because the crust pierced the plastic wrap and cracked a bit. I just wrapped it a bit more with Saran wrap and put into the freezer for a future meal. Otherwise all the pizzas arrived intact. My husband and I were very impressed with the taste and quality of the meatball deep dish! That was the only one we tried so far. I followed the instructions by thawing the pizza in the fridge for two nights, instead of one night, since we weren't ready to eat it the next day. Baked at 400F for 45 mins on a cookie sheet and everything came hot and deliciously gooey. I can't wait to try the other pizzas in the future. This would be a good gift idea for special occasions since people are more hesitant to eat in restaurants due to the pandemic -- bring the restaurant to them! It was super fun to get authentic Chicago pizza delivered straight to our door in California. read more

The food was outstanding! I had the Pork Schnitzel, green beans, & dumplings! Yummy! Our server Neli was very attentive and kind. Great ambiance on the patio. We listened to Grace & John, whom we love to follow. We'll be back! The owners, Dominick & Chris are great guys! read more

I appreciate a business where the business owner rolls up his sleeves and supports his staff. On top of that, the staff make you feel at home. This alone makes me want to come here. The food is delicious especially the meatballs. The pizza is also tasty and you can't go wrong with a sandwich or a burger. The kids menu has a variety of options which you don't see often. Quick tip: If you have kids, or your a kid at heart, bring some change to play the claw machines while waiting for a table on a busy night. read more

I just had one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The braised short rib grilled cheese panini as absolutely decadent. HUGE sandwich with delicious, quality ingredients. Can't wait until they have it again. Well done folks!!!! Oh, and the crispy cheese edges. read more

Bartolini's - Pizza Near Me - Midlothian, Illinois

The food was fairly delicious. I wish they had a bit more of photos for the options as there are many. The Gnocchi with fried chicken was creamy and yummy but I didn't expect there to only be tiny bits of fried chicken for close to 18 dollars. Mamas Lasagna was the star of the show along with my fiancé lol we were greeted and seated pretty quick with a smile and positive energy. The energy here was relaxed family friendly and lots of TVs and posters/photos to view and admire. Looking forward to coming again. read more

Everything here at Bartolini's was great! Myself and my family chose to dine in. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Everything was cooked fresh and bought to the table hot. The breadsticks were slightly crunchy on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection. The pizza was hot and delicious. They are affordable and has a pretty good selection. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Bartolini's! read more

Ever since they've moved locations, the quality of service and food has gone down. What once was a restaurant we frequently went to 2-3 times a week, our last visit there was HORRIBLE. They made a mistake on our bill ( about $45 mistake) and when we addressed our concerns and complaint to the owner/Mgr he was a complete JERK to us. When I said it would be a long time before we came back. He shrugged his shoulders and walked off, even his old staff from the old location has been leaving to work at other local restaurants. He only has about 3 employees who have stayed with them. It's just a matter of time before he drives them away too. I do not recommend this place, in fact drive down to 147th and Cicero , you'll find a better place next to Berkot's! read more

Like this place a lot and you will too, that is if you can find it. Located in a strip mall near the Illinois Secretary of State license facility in Midlothian, this restaurant sort of fades into the background. But while the front looks small, there is a very nice large and unassuming pizza parlor inside. On our visit we started with the mini-meatball appetizer (5 stars) ... they sort of brag on their meatballs and they have every reason to ... this was very good. For dinner we had the Fettuccine Alfredo chicken (3 star nice ... VG pasta); the spaghetti with red sauce (4 star good); and the BBQ chicken pizza (5 star stuff). For drinks we had a root beer float (3 star the usual), and lots of glasses of house Chianti (4 star very nice and they don't charge you an arm and a leg per glass - just $5.50 ... very reasonable). We finished with Cannoli (5 star sweet stuff). All in all this place was a treat. The menu is pretty extensive with a variety of offerings, but we found the pizza and meatballs (however you get them, as an appetizer or on a pizza or as a sandwich or any other way) were the stars of the show. This is a nice party place. It is loud and proud ... the floor is concrete so it echos everything. There are a number of large tables for bigger parties, and the rest is a mix of high and low tables along with a nice bar area. TVs are everywhere, so you'll be kept up to date on whatever you like. They also have trivia games during the week. All-in-all this place is a winner and we'll be back. read more

I took my daughter here for dinner last night. She got the Gnocchi with the Arabiatta sauce and I got the three meat pizza...it was really good. The leftovers didn't make it through the night at our house. Pizza has a nice thin crispy crust and the toppings are really good. The restaurant itself is really well laid out and wide open so the tables aren't crowded. Our server did a really good job and answered all of our questions. I'll definitely be back and am also going to order about a half a dozen of their frozen pizzas to drive down to TN. Really solid place and worth the trip. read more

Great local Italian restaurant! Food is always served fresh and their meatballs are legendary. They are moving to a new location soon so go try them before they do. read more

On a tip from someone, I came for the meatballs. The menus was extensive and the bar had everything you need. Different nights have different specials on drinks and food. Since it was our first time there we tried the meat lasagna, pizza and angel hair and meatballs. the meal came with a soup or salad and bread or garlic bread. The garlic bread was good. The pizza was good just needed to be cooked a little more for my taste. The red gravy was good and the meatball was tender; however, was lacking in flavor. I was so wanting to love this meatball. He did not care for the lasagna either and we brought it home. I will give it a go for lunch. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. They have a take out portion and a party room inside and out. We talked to some friendly regulars who really enjoy it so definitely give it a shot. read more

Ordered online... $140 of cheese is what we got... we dug through the cheese and found 4 pieces of sausage and one tablespoon of sauce... our guests just stopped and we all looked at each other in disbelief, they called it the covid pizza one slice and you will never need toilet paper again, your system will shut down... talked to one of the owners... over confident and not really interested in the fact that things could have gone wrong for us... all 3 pizzas went straight to the trash... think he offered to make things right...

Me and my family went here around the time they had just opened at their new location, and the food was delicious as always. On top of the good food, the service was great, had no problems whatsoever. Ever since then we've been picking up food from here to bring home and it's always been tasty. Hands down, the best place to go to if you're looking for a good meal around here. read more

We were so excited to be able to get their pizza's shipped to us in SC. I had never tried their pies, but with all the great reviews, we decided to order a 4 pack through Goldbelly.com. I lived in Chicago for twenty years, so am quite knowledgeable about the various great pizzas available in The Windy City and its suburbs. We really liked this gift pack as it included thin crust, which is our favorite. The pie cooked up nicely and certainly showed promise. Unfortunately, after letting it rest for a couple minutes and then digging in, something was off. There was a slight gummyness to the crust, and a weird almost wax like aftertaste that coated the mouth after eating a piece. The sausage, which we so crave and miss on the Southeast Coast was average. We ended up throwing more than half away. Considering we have been transplants for awhile and lived in many bad pizza towns, we have become quite adept at making our pies at home both Chicago thin and deep dish. My partner agreed with me, when I said our crafted pizzas were far superior to the Bartolini's version. In this shipment we received another thin and two deep dish pizzas. We so dearly hope that this restaurant redeems itself when we try the other variety. Otherwise, it was a colossal waste of over $100. read more

Friendly staff. Very casual atmosphere. Server took order on a tablet and wasn't really listening because I had to repeat as she typed like 3 times it was weird. Go back to taking an order then typing it in the computer somewhere else. The appetizer meatballs were really good although quite possibly from Costco. The rest was mediocre at best read more

Decent Italian food. Ambiance is so so. Kind of noisy and bar-like. Service is not bad.
