called ahead to pickup the order and the person who answered the phone was very rude. Was told pizza would be ready in thirty minutes. Arrived 35 minutes later and the food wasn't ready. Had to wait close to half an hour. Would not recommend when other places are nearby read more

Excellent pizza and service! Nice to have a full convenience store for beverage and snack options to go with your pie

Disappointing. The pan pizza crust was stiff and the sauce lacked flavor. The cheese wasn't creamy enough. Best thing about the pizza was the pepperoni, but even that wasn't competitive with other outlets. The Ceasars Salad had tomatoes in it. Who put tomatoes in a Caesar's salad? This was a delivery order. The pizza was delivered in a paper bag. Really? Will not order from here again. read more

The food is constantly very good. We've ordered from them for over 30 years. I love their egg and pepper sandwiches. Their pizza is very tasty. Their beef sandwiches are very good with a nice portion of beef. Their bread is always very fresh. I can't say enough about how fast your food is prepared and the great service you get from the staff. read more

River Pizza is a longtime favorite of my family. My parents are from Chicago, and back in the day, anytime we were in Maywood visiting my grandmother we would order from here. Years later, the pizza is just as great, and still comes wrapped in a bag. Some things never change! I came here recently to dine in, a first for me considering I usually ordered takeout. It's a small spot next to a convenience store with a friendly staff. It was nice to bring my boyfriend and a friend so they could see why this is one of my favorite pizza spots. Our waiter was nice and suggested the calamari as an appetizer, which was fresh and delicious. We ordered a large thin crust pizza - half pepperoni and sausage and the other half just pepperoni and spinach. The pizza came out piping hot and we ate every slice! I low key wanted more but I know I'll be back again. Thanks Bertolli's River Pizza for remaining a great over the years! read more

Pizza was amazing. It gave old school pizzeria that gave me and my boyfriend a since of comfort since everything from childhood has changed. Loved that there is a store attached to get drinks and snacks for a perfect movie night. We will be back. read more

The pizza is amazing! Best in the area.... When you can get it. Tried delivery twice and they "forgot" about the order both times after waiting 90 mins to get it. Then they forgot it when we ordered for pick up! They know they have the best pizza in the area... they just need more staff I think. read more

Very delicious old skool Italian family owned business pizza actually comes in a paper bag just like back in the 80's love this place can't wait to try everything on their menu read more

First time trying and it's been the best pizza I've had in town! My daughter loved their pizza and their chicken wings are really savory. Delivery was almost an hour but it was worth the wait! Will be ordering again in the future and maybe we'll try the thicker crust pizza this time. Thanks! read more

I can't believe all the bad reviews here. Shocking. Been going here for years having moved to RF. Best pizza in the area. Wings are also awesome - huge and meaty. Tavern Chicago style is the only get here, and the wings. Don't deviate as you could be disappointed. Just get the pizza. KISS. Keep it simple, stupid. read more

Pizza mediocre and doughy. Wouldn't go out of my way to order from there again. Dominos is as good as they are

Pizza is good and and the crust is crunchy, the wings are super delicious. Will be going back for sure read more

Love their sausage pizza, both thin crust and hand tossed.

Neighborhood favorite of mine growing up in North Maywood. Everyone ordered thin pizzas from here. I've been coming here since the 90s. I always get a sausage pizza extra sauce well done. The customer service isn't the best they can be curt assholes, but it's never been disrespectful so we all put up w/their shit. In the 2000s they added Frank's Deli to their lineup so it seems Frank left the pizza joint to the sons or young females who run it. I've never dined it. Always pickup or delivery. The pizza really isn't expensive compared to other pizza joints. I've slacked on coming in here thru the years because they're still cash only and I don't carry cash much and I'm not going out of my way to get cash to patronage them. Soooooooo I get them when I can. read more

Bertolli's River Pizza - Meat Lover! Add garlic and onion! - Pizza Near Me - River Forest, Illinois

Pizza and Panzerotti is scrumptious! Period. Now is it the best managed place in the world... no. It's a family owned joint with hard workers. You don't call a pizza place like this and expect to be treated 5 star. So to you people moaning about their demeanor... get a hold of yourself. Eat the pizza and shut up. read more

Bertolli's is my favorite local pizza, hands down. The thin crust is perfect, sauce is really good, and I like the amount and quality of the toppings. The last two pizzas I got were delivered about an hour after they were ordered, just as promised, and were so hot I had to wait to dig in. I like their salads and lasagna, too, but the pizza is really outstanding. Oh, and when I remember to ask, they will do a pie cut for me (the Chicago tavern cut is weird, imo), so great service. read more

Great pizza! And WAY better price than all the store chains nearby. We even had them deliver pizza for our late-night snack during our wedding reception. read more

Hands down our favorite pizza joint! I think they somewhat lack in the customer service department, but they make it up with the quality of their pizza! I like their homemade hot giardinera too. I wouldn't put it on the pizza, but I could eat it straight out of the jar. It's more like marinated spicy veggies, than the traditional hot giardinera that I like on pizza and It beefs. read more

There's a saying that what is good to you, may not necessarily be good for you. While in this instance, it is likely a true statement, if loving Bertolli's thin crust is wrong, I have no desire to be right! Definitely my ABSOLUTE favorite eat at home thin crust in the neighborhood! What makes it my preferred thin crust is the crispy crust and lots of fresh mozzarella. The pizza is served on a circular cardboard slip and stapled inside a paper bag which is less than ideal for leftovers, but it is definitely more earth friendly than a complete cardboard box. Once you give it try, I am confident you will be a fan too! read more

My family always orders from Bertolli's! We have been ordering here for over a decade. The pizza sometimes is REALLY good, or sometimes it's just good. We've never had a bad experience here. They used to give us coupons to get a free pizza. That was cool. The place is clean and they have redecorated. This is a family run business that know their customers by name. I would try it out! I think you'll be impressed! read more

Delivery driver said NIGGERS DONT TIP as he gave me my pizza I couldn't believe he actually said that to me I called to speak to manger and I was told it didn't happen..... long waits rude lady answering phone for call in order pizza not as good as it was before after waiting a hour an a half my food finally arrived half the cheese was off the pizza and my cheesecake melted I should've just went to papa Johns ‍ read more

The food here is amazing. My suggestion is to make homemade ranch dressing. There is nothing worse then eating great food with bottled salad dressing. read more

Amazing Pizza! Hands down my favorite in the area dining in or delivery, always hits the spot, never disappoints!

Some of the best pizza in town. Sauce is rich, slightly sweet l, and so flavorful. Loads of cheese. We've been a bit hit or miss with delivery to the north side of Oak Park, but the quality of the pizza is excellent and price is reasonable. I believe you can dine in too but it's been a few years since we've done that. Free parking. read more

Bertollis has been one of our favorites for years now. Their thin crust was perfect. Prepared exactly as we ordered and was ready right on time. read more

Good stuff. Exactly what you expect. Food well done by Mr. Bertolli's. Thank you for the service and ambiance.

some of the best pizza I have ever had. quick, friendly service and well priced. 10/10 would go back

Just an FYI if you are from out of town visiting - you can't dine in on the weekends. Would have been nice to know before we drove 30 minutes here based on reviews. read more

The best pizza ever!!! Thin crust, and the cheese is amazing as well, family owned and operated which means AUTHENTIC! Enough said, now try their pizza. read more

Horrible experience. Ordered pizza, cheese curds, fries, and wings and arrived more than an hour and 15min. Called on status and got hung up on. Called again and put on long hold. Once addressed told it was 10 more minutes. Didn't say sorry or offer anything. Waited the 10'min and nothing came. once arrive it was cold and unseasoned and looked like it was tampered with. Don't waste your time here.if I. Like give 0 I would. read more

In our house, Saturday dinner is typically defined as "everyone for themselves." My wife and I were feeling a bit peckish last night and based on a glowing review of this restaurant that I read in Wednesday Journal (focused on Bertolli's thin-crust pizza, a style which is a favorite of ours), I decided to order from them. As I was reading their online menu, I realized where the restaurant is located (near the southeast corner of Lake and Thatcher in River Forest) and it dawned on me that despite driving by a million times, I never thought anything of it. Order shows up and we dig in. (drum roll) Whoa! Oh my gawd, mighty delicious! What a hidden gem indeed! Many things stood out about our pizza experience: 1. One of the intriguing take-aways from the review in WJ was that Bertolli's does not overdo it with the cheese. I must agree and I prefer a more sparse covering as IMO, it creates less competition with the flavors from the other toppings. 2. Sauce. Oh man, the sauce was amazing. It has a zest that gives the pizza an undisputed originality without itself overpowering the overall taste. 3. Bangin' sausage. As a pizza topping, sausage is my favorite but admittedly, I prefer something that is less processed. This stuff had wonderful flavor and the fennel gave it a homemade flavor. 4. Well-done crust. Wait! We ordered it this way! In fact, we will do so pretty much whenever a restaurant will bake it as such. It was perfect. The crust had a nice crunch on the outside without being dry on the inside. Oh man. So, if you are on the prowl for a new and satisfying pizza-experience, you must try these guys. Oh and their pricing is extremely reasonable too. Enjoy, all! read more

The food is five star, I feel bad giving them four, this is bar none my favorite pizza. It is not cheap, but this is a case of getting what you pay for. It costs a few dollars more but their ingredients are top notch. I have had several bad delivery experiences with them, incredible delays, in their defense these are in the past, they may have improved since then. I have never seen anyone dining in, the decor and ambience are not inviting. Once I embraced that this was a carry out only option (and it is not at all close to my house) but well worth the extra hassle, I was far better off. The pizza is great! The people are pleasant and efficient. The connected convenience store next door has a great selection of Italian sodas, high quality frozen pasta and Italian food. Do your self a favor, try their pizza, it is amazing, avoid delivery and dining in, carry out, grab some limonata and enjoy a delicious meal. read more

My pizza was awful I asked if his mushrooms where from a ca he said no only fresh! I order a salad with chicken and chicken was frozen and thawed and season absolutely awful!!!! I am never ordering from this place again! read more

I drove by this place so many times in these years but today I placed an order for the first time! Why didn't I do it before?????? The pizza is soooooo good and you can see that they use very good quality ingredients because everything smells so good!! Staff is very kind and smiling despite the fact they work like crazy and they do everything super fast so that customers don't have to wait for the pizza. I think I have a new favorite pizzeria!! read more

Gigantic trees of unseasoned broccoli tossed on top of soggy bland undercooked crust. Even reheated the next day... just a horrid waste of $30. Bertolli's CANNOT be consistent if their lives depended on it. The ONLY reason we foolishly keep ordering from there is; 3 out of 10x the pizza is kick-ass. The other 7, you can complain and drive over if you want to get a replacement. An apology is a bonus if you can get one. read more

My first time ordering pizza here wasn't great, but my family enjoyed their ribs so we ordered a few nights later... my first pizza was mostly dough which i uploaded a photo. My daughter wanted their ribs a few nights later so we ordered from them again pizza came out better & then last night my daughter wanted chicken so i got another pizza from them & this time was the best i ever gotten thumbs up to the pizza maker it is what im talking about!!! Cheese over flow!! Exactly what u expect from ordering a stuffed pizza!! The staff is super sweet very nice & if any issues give them a call they are real nice and works with u read more
