    The place was hopping at dinner time; there was even a band outside! The pizza was great; I got a…read moregluten free crust (which was super crunchy) with the signature La Rosa pizza which was DELICIOUS. My husband created his own pizza (marinara, bacon, and jalapeños) which was also yummy. Our server was attentive as well. We will be back!

    Had two gift cards so thank goodness I didn't have to pay for this experience. Upon arrival we…read morewere the second table - total of four people eating at this point. Host was fine and Abby took care of us. Abby did everything! The other crew members were on their phones the entire time and she was running around like the proverbial chicken with its head cut off. She made the drinks / two guys sat scrolling. Another guy was at the host stand and he was scrolling and the other two were also sitting at a table - you guessed it - scrolling. No tables had the condiments on them and the other table of two had to ask for them and so did we! This location tends to start getting a lot of kids coming in after ball games, aquatics next door and the soccer field down the street. It becomes a lesson in how not to parent and the noise level becomes more like Chuckee Cheese. The food is great. The drinks were meh. I'll go back to Peoria Heights location next. My fear is that Brienzo's is over extending themselves with three locations and that by doing so, an inevitable collapse of the entire empire is forthcoming. Brick and mortar places are expensive when you are renting. I hope I'm wrong on this. Brienzo's wood fired is the best of these types of pizza joints. They might want a phone policy for the employees. The picture is from the "Toast" app. Said my two stars there I'd already given my review or I'd taken too long to give it. Less than four hours too long? Because I don't already give it. Maybe all the scrolling is them doing the customer reviews?

    Finally stopped in for dinner tonight with my wife and son. It was my birthday so I got to choose…read morewhere we went. I was a little nervous hoping my 17yo picky non celiac son would find something he would like in a gf restaurant. I worried for nothing! He and I ordered the smash burgers and they were exceptional. He didn't even mind the "special sauce" which is amazing because the only thing he usually puts on a burger is salt. The warm chips were great as well. The wife got a "p-dizzle" flat bread. It was SO good. I almost forgot that we ordered cheese bites for an appetizer. They were served with a pineapple medley and a hummus dip. Holy cow were they fantastic! Their menu is quite large and we can't wait to go back. I was also impressed with the prices. Gf food is quite expensive and this place does a nice job offering delicious gf food at a very reasonable price! The service was a tad slow but I think they were short handed so that's totally understandable. All of the staff were extremely nice. And finally, the ambiance. The restaurant is bright and open and well decorated. The seats are very comfortable. Overall very pleased with everything. Just kicking myself for waiting so long to try The Queen of Squash out!

    We actually ate here twice traveling through town to a wedding, there and back…read more Its a bit expensive but the quality is good and there are a lot of healthy options. They did great with my son's dairy intolerance - they left some meatballs off his meat pizza and left a note on the box explaining they are made with cheese. I appreciate it as I would not have thought of that, and I liked they had vegan cheese as an option for his pizza. The second time we tried the west coast flatbread but he said it tasted weird. I thought it was fine- maybe just not kid approved . My fault for trying to get some veggies into him. I found their soup very tasty and had a watermelon mint salad with a bowl of soup the second time, and a turkey burger the first time. The turkey burger was fine but a little dry and bland. Husband had a squash bowl the first time which was great, we mixed the chickpea salad side into it. It was a good combo def recommend it. He tried the pulled pork sandwich on the second go and felt it was fine but bland. I think maybe it seems like everything else on the menu is a good pick except for the sandwiches. I had a moon time tea the first time. It came with no lid they didnt have any but was very very good tea so I ordered it again the second time. They forgot it in the second order and he had to go back for it. They rushed making it i think, it was not very strong, so I was a little bummed. I did call and ask them where they got the tea from and they told me it was from a local coffee place, so I am going to try to go buy a bag of tea to take home. I appreciate them pointing me to their source.
