A craving for pizza after completing Bank of America Chicago 13.1 led me to looking up pizza…read morerestaurants I had not eaten at before. I discovered Anthony B's Pizza & Pasta listed #15 after searching pizza options via yelp within a radius of the Maywood area. Once I noted that it was the closest to me, plus offered the online ordering option it was then I considered, chose and made my way to this restaurant. Since I had no interest in ordering a large pizza, I ended up selecting the 10'' build your own pizza regular crust, with spinach as my topping which was only 0.75 cents extra. It made my day to see that the restaurant had RC Cola on its menu as one of the soda options which I absolutely love. Ordering online allowed me to pick up my order and go, then conduct additional errands in the area. By the time I arrived at Anthony B's my order was waiting for me behind the counter. I was well on my way after verifying that I was picking up an order, and my name. While waiting for the employee to grab my order, I adored the display of Elmo holding a pizza at the register which I thought was very cute! Grateful to have had a smooth online ordering experience because the likelihood of me ordering online again is very high. As for my order, I would be lying if I said the regular crust pizza with spinach was not good because I was very satisfied with the taste of it. I enjoyed each square cut piece, devouring them all very quickly. I am glad that I considered Anthony B's because I would not have had the opportunity to taste the goodness of their pizza. I am well open to ordering from Anthony B's Pizza & Pasta again if in the area as the time goes on. And as yelp recommended it to me for pizza, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all.

After it was sold and the building was torn down, I was excited to give it another try while visiting the area--but sadly, it just wasn't the same.

I went with sausage as my topping, but there wasn't much of it, and the flavor just didn't hit like it used to. A bit of a letdown not worth $33, and honestly, I probably won't be back.

For mains, I got the Ricotta Gnocchi. All of that pastas are clearly homemade. The gnocchi was certainly pillowy and paired nicely with the creamy truffle sauce. My husband got the Orecchiette pasta which could have had a more prominent sauce to it. Overall, the pasta was fresh and ingredients tasted of good quality. The portions for price point seemed a little off as dishes didn't come with a bread basket nor side salad. I wish we would have gotten either a bit more pasta or something else to make the price feel of value. Either way, this was a nice spot to enjoy good company at.

If I could give this place negative 100 stars I would!! When I lived in FP, ordered pizza for delivery on a week night. Took 2 and half hours to deliver the pizza, YES 2 AND HALF HOURS. Pizza was cold, tasteless and disgusting. When I called and asked why it took so long and that our pizza was cold, who ever answered the phone, did not give a crap.

When I walked in, I greeted everyone with a friendly hello, but no one acknowledged me as a customer. I politely asked if more pizza would be coming out, and no one responded. The restaurant was strangely silent. After waiting, I said "excuse me" and asked again if another pizza was coming out, but the employee acted as if I hadn't spoken at all. Meanwhile, one employee was sitting in the back on his phone, two cooks were simply walking around the cooking area, and another employee appeared to be on a personal phone call in the front. Despite several staff members being present, no one seemed interested in helping customers. Customer service is what keeps people coming back. People want to feel welcomed, acknowledged, and appreciated when they spend their money at a business. Unfortunately, that was not my experience today. Because of the poor customer service and lack of basic courtesy, I will not be returning. I will also be sharing my experience with my neighbors, my children, and their friends. There are plenty of restaurants that value their customers, and I would rather support businesses that treat people with respect.

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.

It was late, and we were stuck staying a short night at the Quality Inn near O'Hare due to a missed connection, so our options for food delivery were limited. Our van driver recommended Nick & Bruno's - I called, the person who answered was nice, and they specified 45 minutes for delivery. An hour and a half later, nearing 1 am and deathly ready for a nap, I meet the driver outside our hotel and carry an unusually heavy box of pizza into the room to the relief of my hungry travel companions. We opened the lid to reveal a pizza, with much of the (mountainous pile of) cheese moved to one half of the pie, extending well beyond the crust into the box, where it had congealed and adhered. All of this we could live with if the pizza just tasted okay. It did not. The sauce was weak (and light), the crust was bland and lifeless (was supposed to be "pan" with a golden buttery crust), and the several pounds of cheese had hardened into a weirdly oozy disc on top of it all. Even just getting a slice out was nigh on impossible without the cheese dumping off, as it had been insufficiently cut. I ate one piece. My son ate one piece. My wife ate one piece. I wrapped up the rest of it to take to the airport for breakfast. What comes next is the worst part of all this - after one slice each, we felt a bit of tummy discomfort. My son and I refused to eat any more. But my wife proceeded to eat 4 more slices over the next day...and is currently, 2 days later, paying the price with what appears to be some level of food poisoning. She's been eating mostly toast and bananas since the pizza, and is right now sending me to the store for Pepto and ginger ale. I've probably eaten a thousand different pizzas in my lifetime and this one managed to be the worst - and that includes cafeteria and frozen pies. It's funny, Chicago is supposed to be this great pizza city yet I'm consistently left wanting by the ones we get there. Maybe Nick & Bruno's other pizza styles are better? Maybe it's a one-off thing? Regardless, this was a poorly spent $30 and I would urge you to try something else.
