Delicious pizza continuously and consistently, as well as an apology for the rude phone call weeks ago. Love this place, and hope they understand the importance of great customer service, just sayin :) read more

Absolutely fabulous thin-crust pizza. There is none better in the area. My only quibble is that the delivery can be a bit on the slow side, but we usually pick up to avoid the problem, and our pizza is always ready within about 20 minutes of when we call it in. They don't take credit cards and you can't order only, but that's okay. It's still better than any of the doughy chain pizza that's otherwise available. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm going to order a mushroom pizza right now! read more

Great pizza me and the kids love it. They have great beefs as well. I recommend people in every town to flood this place and get the best pizza you deserve. I just wish they delivered to Maywood at lease me I been a customer for years. But hey I gave to do what I have to do. read more

Pizza was so delicious...it was a good kind of greasy. My stomach didn't hurt grease. I picked up my pizza and fried zucchini. It was empty but it was still early. When I walked in it didn't have the pizza smell..it smelled kind of old. However, pizza...ordering again. I'm hooked. The fried Zucchini tasted old (yuck). Next time I'll just stick to pizza read more

Frank has been in River Forest a vary long time, Thin crust pizza is good comes hot & quickly not many people eat in however delivery is great read more

Our standard order is a greasy pepperoni pizza and chicken strips...it goes the trick everytime. LOVE IT! The employees seem nice....my only qualm was that last time we went the guy who took my money also made my chicken strips..no washing hands in between cause I was standing there the whole time and didn't see him do so....I'm hoping the germs were deep fried away. Sadly, I think my boyfriend and I like this place because we imagine it is one of the last mob pizza joints in River Forest...it always seems like there are a couple of guys in white t-shirts with ciggys under the sleeve named Tony. They take cash only. read more

Decent pizza! We had takeout from here. We ordered a large 3 topping pizza for the 3 of us. Each one of us thought the pizza was okay, nothing special. It was tasty, but like I said nothing special. I like that it's convenient and it's next to Frank's Deli so you can grab a sandwich too. read more

Delivery was on time. Food was hot. Pizza was very good. Will order again.

I found out about this place from my little guy. It seems he was brought on a field trip while in camp last summer. First time we came, we ordered a slice of pizza. It was so good. The next time we came we ordered a medium sausage pizza. It was nice and piping hot when we got home ( and I don't live close by). We absolutely loved it and plan on visiting again. read more

Thin crust deliciousness. Fresh! Best pizza north of Aurelios.

The foood here is amazing and the service is fantastic!! Everyone was so nice and they were fast and efficient. Highly recommeneded!!

Great choice in River Forest. My go to pizza place. Owner is a nice guy, family is involved in both running Bertolli's and Frank's Deli, right next door. Thin crust is great, consistent, as is the delivery, which they say is "about an hour" but more like 30-40 minutes. Doesn't look like much on the outside, but the pizza is a winner. Franks Deli makes excellent subs too, love the roast beef. read more

Definitely not a dine in joint! For the price you can't beat this place. Not the best pizza I've had but it's really good! I always get the river deluxe and have never been dissapointed. read more

I'm a fan until there is a problem. I have been ordering from them for many years and usually order about twice a month from them. The food is great- until the few times it is not. Out of the 150+times I have ordered there, I have called in 2-3 times ot complain and they never ever step up to do anything to resolve the problem. They don't offer you credit. They don't offer to remake an order. In fact, they normally don't admit or even seem to believe they could do anything wrong. That really pisses me off. So- if you work at Bertolli's here is some advice - when a customer who is loyal to you calls up and says something is wrong - maybe, just maybe, you should listen to them and try to make it right. So- I'm giving them 4 stars because of this doesn't happen often, but this last experience was 1 star as they did do something wrong and after I called they didn't do anything to fix it. read more

This place it simply the most authentic around. When I first tried it I felt so nostalgic, even emotional....finally, pizza that tastes like my uncle used to make at his restaurant when I was a kid - thin crispy crust, zesty sauce, top quality cheese and herbs and fresh toppings. I love that it even comes delivered in the old fashioned white paper bags. Try the baked clams too. Everything is good. It's like coming home. read more

As far as pizza delivery in my area goes, Bertolli's is definitely my favorite! The only other pizza that I like more than Bertolli's is Freddie's, but unfortunately Freddie's doesn't deliver. I gotta admit the pizza is pretty greasy, but it is soooo good. I've ordered from here more times than I can count and I've never had one bad experience. The only problem I have is that they don't take credit cards. Unfortunately this means that a lot of times I have order from my backup spot, which is Falco's (their pizza is great as well), but when I have cash Bertolli's is always my go to spot! read more

Love Bertolli's! Great spinach lasagna and excellent thin crust pizza (sausage w/ black olive and jalapeños is my favorite). Yummy meatballs with very good tomato sauce too. I have also enjoyed the raviolis and various salads. Great bread comes with entrees (I usually save that to make a sandwich the next day). Yes, we have some differences-- All of the food is salty, but that's typical for Chicago and typical for restaurants. Plus, I use minimal salt in my cooking, so take that into account. Delivery is slow most of the time, but that's because it's really, really busy. Pick-up is a better deal if you want your food fast (1/2 h) and have wheels. Otherwise, order before you are past starving. Finally, if you want your pizza cut like pizzas are meant to be cut (it's a pizza pie, after all, not a pizza grid), good luck. I hate the Chicago grid cut, but I cannot get Bertolli's or any other pizza place in this area to honor my sincere and fervent requests for a pie-cut pizza more than 1 in 10 times. I'm trying to adapt (not very successfully), and I have a sense of humor for most things. Why, oh why, does the Chicago grid cut annoy me so? Anyway, if you are new to the area, give it a try. Best pizza in the area. read more

Great thin crust pizza, my favorite in the near west suburbs. If you're in a hurry, pick it up, especially on a Friday or Saturday night!

Wow real mom and pop tasting pizza! Worth it! Best pizza around for miles. Definitely adding phone number to contacts.

I have lived in river forest for 20 yrs.-I never order from anywhere else! I have referred many people to Bertolli's-GREAT FAMILY ! Excellent Pizza! HUGE HO'MADE MEATBALLS! Many of my neighbors go there!PERFECT AMOUNT OF SAUCE-CHEESE-TOPPINGS!They really take care of you-you'll go back! ENJOY! DWILSON read more

i love this pizza as do my children and their friends and my extended family. Frank is the best purveyor and makes a great pie! i like to say well done. i will agree it has a bit of oil on top when it arrives. i usually take a paper towel and put it on top before we eat it but it is a very good crunchy thin crust pizza. they own the deli next door so you could ask them to bring some pop or a gallon of milk or whatever (they brought my son some dreamcicles) and then just add on. Frank has also donated pizza to our neighborhood events. he and his family are great people and are a reason i love my hood. People like Frank are old school where they remember you and treat you well, thanks Frankie..... and family, (dont forget, cash only with an occasional check if he knows you!!! great for birthday parties and events, he will send a lot of pizza's your way.) read more

In heaven, they give you your wings and a slice of River Pizza. I like mine with sausage, pepperoni and green olives. I call it the Cuyler Brown special. They call it a pizza with sausage, pepperoni and green olives. If I had to choose between world peace and this pizza I would buy stock in companies that profit off war. Actually, this pizza could probably create world peace it's so freaking good. read more

I wish I could say I was pleased but I'm not. This is the second time they messed up my pizza. The young lady on the phone even repeated the order back so I'm not sure how it was not what I ordered. I love the pizza. It is delicious but I shouldn't have to check my order before I leave. I might have to find another place, even though this is close to home. They did offer me a small sausage pizza for their mistake. read more

Long time consumer of Bertolli's pizza. Every once in a while I cheat on you Frank, but I always come back. River Special thin crust, or Sausage, fresh garlic, spinach and onions. I won't wax on, just look at the pics. The real deal pizza. read more

Pizza very greasy and salty. Mancini's does it for me. they have less fat and sodium their pizza. Rude customer service too. Mancini is more pleasant. read more

No way. Don't even waste money trying it. Somebody recommended it to me the other day. I got a pizza. Horrible. So bland. Why open a pizza restaurant in Chicago if you don't have a kick-ass, unique idea for pizza? There are SOOO many places in the area that kick this place's ass....Giordano's, Edwardo's, Amato's, Spizzico's, Old World. This place's thin crust is a small step above frozen pizza. read more

It's a delicious pizza - great thin crust - which we have been getting for years, but no more. Tonight's pizza was delivered to us in Oak Park almost 2 hours after we ordered - and that's the third time in a row we have received a lukewarm, very delayed pizza. Too bad - it's good. read more

What a wonderful family run institution. Serving consistent Italian delights. They serve outstanding pizza perfect crispy dough, sweet tasty sauce, great sausage, pepperoni and cheese , so good. Affordable, fast delivery. Come try them out you won't regret it. read more

My favorite menu item to get here is the Pepper & Egg Sandwich with Sausage and Mozzerella on Garlic Bread. That sandwich can't be beat by anyone!!! read more

good pizza, crappy phone order takers.

Last night tried the Meat Lover's pan pizza and it did not disappoint! Usually pepperoni gives me heartburn, but they either don't use very much, or it's balanced with something else to where it's good. And the crust- seems to retain its freshness as good as the thin crust the next day. As I continue to eat my way through the menu, I can't say as I've been disappointed with anything so far. read more

Pizza is good ,but their Attitudes suck.

Basically the best pizza you can get in the Oak Park/River Forest area. Small inconveniences like cash only and small location, but totally worth it! I would probably order them more if we lived closer. read more

with all the awesome reviews and even being compared to "better then aurelios" i was slightly let down. still was good pizza and good prices too. will be back... read more

Absolutely dynamite! Carlo made us the best BBQ Sausage Pizza I've ever had! Never had anything short of an awesome experience there. If you haven't eaten there, GET THERE! read more

Bertolli's is by far the best pizza in the area. The wait is well worth it and the delivery staff is friendly.

I eat a lot of pizza and this is the best around. Simple thin crust sausage pizza has never left me disappointed. Highly recommended!!

Great pizza!!! I consider myself a very experienced pizza tester and this is great, especially for in the burbs!

DO NOT GO HERE OR ORDER FROM HERE. I have lived close to Bertollis for a long time, and have learned A LOT of painful facts. The guys who work there wont hesitate to spit on your pizza or do other disgraceful things if they learn you dont tip up to their standards, or just call to ask them where your pizza is - and this happens a lot because they take FOREVER. Again, do not get from here. There are many, many other places around oak park and river forest that are much better and dont take an eternity. Plus, other places wash their hands. Try Spizzico or Giordanos. You're in Chicago there is good pizza everywhere, dont sacrifice for Bertollis. read more

This pizza is the best in the area. The crust has a nice crunch, never soggy. Has been my favorite for YEARS!
