The pizzas were absolutely delicious like no other. The staff was on it, timely, friendly, attentive, all of the above. The freshness of the ingredients made me feel fully satisfied and not sluggish in the slightest after finishing my meal. The inside was refreshingly lit with lights that weren't a blast to the face. An overall clean and great experience for my husband and I on our very first vacation. read more

Looked at online reviews and decided to go get pizza here while in Galena. The waitress was very good. We ordered meatballs and bread for appetizers. They were good. We ordered sausage, canadian bacon, mushroom and onion thin crust pizza. It was very bland. Hardly any taste - more mushroom than anything. Left half the pizza. Would not return for the pizza. read more

We went with a party of 5 about 5:30 on a Sunday evening. Got right in. I ordered a Limoncello Collins drink which was delicious. Our table ordered Fettuccini Alfredo and 2 pizzas. One Portobello and Mushroom with Italian sausage added, and a Sweet and Sour Hawaiian. the Hawaiian we ordered on a cauliflower crust. They also have a gluten free crust option. Food was delicious. Staff were quick, friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was great also! Would definitely recommend and would go back. read more

I have to say that, based on the food reviews and pictures, Cannova would have been my second choice for Sunday night pizza. However, the reason we chose it was because several reviews mentioned reliable delivery, which was important to us on this occasion. And it turned out to be a great decision: although they quoted 75-80 minutes for delivery, it arrived in just over an hour. How was the pizza? Pretty good, not the best, but very solid. All the ingredients were in balance and it was warm enough for how far it traveled (at least 15 minutes). read more

Friendly, attentive service and always great pizza. Nice wine and beer selection. Good for couples and families.

Walked into Cannova's right after it opened and had the restaurant to ourselves, around 12:10. The vibe was old school Italian meets quaint bar. Let me tell you- it was perfection. Our waitress was attentive and friendly + the food was amazing! I went with my boyfriend and we ordered 2 pizzas + cocktails- you simply can't go wrong. The pizza crust was beautifully crispy, I ate about 6 slices.. do I have to say more? read more

A pretty good pie. Had a thin crust goat cheese pizza. Staff was helpful in finding something my friend could eat with all her food restrictions. read more

Unfortunately, I never had the chance to try the food at this establishment. I emailed the manager regarding a large order I wanted to place. He responded by telling me they need at least 3 days. I emailed on a Monday, the party I was hosting was on Saturday. I emailed again telling him exactly what I needed and then he ghosted me. He never even responded letting me know he couldn't take the order. So unprofessional and really bad customer service! read more

Wow! I'm still here and had to jump on amd review this place! The layered deep dish pizza is SO amazing! Best pizza I have ever eaten! Our experience was perfect except I could not eat it all! Dori was our waitress and she is the best waitress to serve us on this 10 day multiple state road trip. She's getting a 100% tip! Amazing! Don't miss this one! read more

MEH.... not what I expected after seeing 5 and 5 star reviews.. The sausage was soooo minced..almost looked like ground beef! Soggy crust. The mushrooms onions and peppers almost tasted like a bag of frozen veggies. They don't have a deep fryer, so no mozzarella Stix or onion rings or fries?! Disappointed.. One and done... read more

We sat down immediately and pleasantly greeted by the waitress. The inside gives off the vibe of a homey Italian restaurant, very cozy. We ordered a 16" chicken Tuscany pizza and it was really good and unique. Honey mustard as the pizza sauce and it was different but very good. All the toppings went together well. read more

Came for takeout dinner and found it OK. Plain - 3.5/5. Nice thin crust and basic sauce complexity. Decent, but honestly struck me a bit like good frozen pizza. Pesto - 2/5. Decent pesto flavor and amount, but quickly got boring as a dish. read more

This place is small and always packed. Short hours, open 4-8 when we went on a Wednesday. (Lot of restaurants in Galena are closed Wednesdays) We had a thin crust pizza, it was delicious. Full bar and lots of wine options. No draft beer, they had a number of bottled selections tho. Several people did take out when we were dining. They have a long list of potential ingredients to choose along with some pre-picked selections. read more

Ordered our pizzas to go and it was quick and easy to do online. Loved the crust. I will definitely be back!

Solid pizza!!! Like, normal pizza.... Not deep dish. Crunchy crust bottom but soft doughy texture beneath the cheese and toppings. Literally my favorite kind of crust/dough situation! (Requires a very hot pizza oven!) Super reasonably priced, in my opinion. Great service! Definite win! *referred by the friendly bartender at the VFW down the street* #LifeMember read more

We had a great experience here. We received friendly service immediately upon entry. We were seated and noticed that the restaurant itself is quite clean and comfortable. It is quaint and nicely decorated. It didn't take long to get our pizza, which was delicious! All was fantastic. Five star experience for sure! read more

We've been going to cannovas pizzeria for over 30 years. We experienced different owners and staff. We've seen remodeling and the shortening of the bar. Many changes over the years, yet the pizza has always been very good as well as the service...now everything about it is "next level". Great service , really nice wines and I think the pizza is better than ever ! I still bitch about the tables being small but even that has become endearing. Oh, the salad is chuck full of goodies and always a must. I give cannova's five stars. Try it!! read more

Great service from Nate. We were pleasantly surprised to find this wonderful locally owned Italian restaurant in charming Galena Main Street district. We had the chop salad a couple of glasses of house Chianti and a 10" pizza with beef, not pork sausage! All for 40 bucks. It was a nice touch to have complimentary home baked bread with our salad. A nice olive dipping sauce and butter accompanied it. The pizza was thin crust with a nice crunch. We'll done!!!! read more

Wait staff was great. They said maybe a 20 minute wait but to take a seat at the bar and if a table opened up we'd get that table. Then, we got a table in less than 5 minutes. Waiter was attentive, knowledgeable about menu and had a great personality. Food was ready quickly and was great tasting. Thanks for the great experience. read more

Only reason we picked this place to eat is because it was the only place to deliver. The food was mediocre and they left it on the porch and walked away. Tried to eat left overs the next day and it smelled and tasted awful. read more

Love their pizza. I was so happy to see that this place Re-opened!! Meatballs really good - but I still vote for the pizza! read more

Yummmm, this pizza! My mom and I ordered pizza delivery from Cannova's while in Galena (we stayed at an Air BNB). The woman on the phone was very pleasant to talk to. We ordered the New York pizza (without tomatoes). The menu had a lot of intriguing options, so choosing what to get wasn't easy. I was told it would be an hour for our pizza (which would have been fine,) but we were pleasantly surprised when it showed up in less than 30 minutes. The delivery driver was GREAT and fun to chat with. The pizza was so so good! They did not skimp on the garlic and it really made the pizza! The crust was thin, and the cheese was melty and there was plenty of it. This is some of the best pizza delivery I've had in awhile. Bravo! read more

Good pizza and they delivered directly to our hotel room. It did take forever (80-90 min), but they told us in advance so we knew what to expect and that was fine with us. We went with a simple pepperoni and sausage, which they say is hamburger based and it was very mild for sausage. The pizza was thin and cooked more well done. We liked it and thought the pizza held up well considering delivery. The front desk recommended this place and it didn't disappoint. read more

My Wife and I love Galena and decided to detour to here on our way home. I remember really liking the pizza from here and made sure to stop again for dinner. Once again we got the garlic bread which was good, but the pizza was once again the star for me. I feel as though their pizza matches up to any other pizza I've had, at the very least it's the best thin-crust I've had. The cheese is what I really enjoy as their blend just checks all the boxes for me. read more

Service was great. Our server was attentive and kind. It's a small seating area so I can see how it would fill up fast but we were seated immediately. Pizza was good but not anything spectacular. The crust was very thin. Traditional marinara and meatball were both flavorful. There is a 3% charge to use your credit card-just fyi. read more

Who knew it was possible to get a delicious, thin crust pizza delivered to our rental property on a busy holiday weekend? While our pizza was very warm and no longer hot, it was delicious and delivered as expected, but by a super nice driver. We were told it could be a 1.5-2 hour wait for delivery within the Galena territory which was fine with us because we were snacking too. And, the fact that it tasted so good it was eaten before I could take a photo says something, right? We would get their food again on another visit but probably eat in the restaurant so the food is hot and so we can try more of their food. read more

Good dining experience. Cute little place that feels cozy inside. Service was awesome. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The pizza was thin crust and really tasty. I also had their tiramisu (fig and pomegranate flavor). It was sweet and different but I enjoyed it read more

Catered an event and brought amazing pizza!! No questions asked. Even delivered for free.

Take out order for 5 pizzas was ready on time and was correctly prepared. We all thought the pizza was delicious.

Ordered a pizza from Cannova's while on our weekend trip to Galena. It's located on a beautiful street. Right in the heart of the downtown area. With all the covid stuff going on, they aren't serving or seating people. You can call and order for pick-up. We kind of picked up the pizza and took it over to where we were seated across the street. It was all pretty casual, so it was cool. Pizza-wise, I think we ordered a pizza that had too many toppings. Probably should've stuck with my norm. Crust and all were good. read more

The small salad was a decent size. The creamy italian dressing was delicious. The bread came with olive oil and vinegar dipping sauce that had cheese and other seasonings. We ordered pizza. It was a good cheesy amount. Was very happy with the crust being thin and crispy. It wasn't overkill on mushrooms or pepperoni but it still had a decent amount. Our waiter was prompt and food came out fast and hot. The pizza was ok cold the next day, not my favorite pizza to eat the day after but re heated up it was good. Prices seemed reasonable except for liquor. 10 bucks for a rum and coke. Someone told us this place had the best pizza in town. I definitely would recommend it. read more

Pizzas and the salads are always excellent and solid. We always have to get when we are in town. So yummy! read more

Cannot speak to the quality of their food because they wouldn't let us eat there. We waited outside for them to open at 4:00 pm... first in line. We asked to seat 7 and they said "we only take up to 4 in a party"... fine... so we ask to split to a party of 4 and a party of 3. Nope. The hostess went in the back to discuss it with someone else.. then.. she comes back out and says "no.. we have a big order going out" .. like, WHAT? You have ONE job and that is to serve dinner. EPIC FAIL. On a lighter note.. Fried Green Tomatoes was the bomb ! read more

I use a rating system of 1-5 for restaurants (took a trip to Galena for the week in early February): 1) Price [1=expensive, 5=inexpensive] = 4 (inexpensive, relatively speaking) 2) Ambiance [1=none, 5=beautiful] = 2 (weird lighting - had been here a long time ago and the place has changed a lot, and not for the better) 3) Service [1=horrible, 5=perfect]: 5 (waitress was attentive and food and drinks were served in a reasonable timeframe) 4) Food/Drinks [1=awful, 5=fantastic]: 5 (had fettucine alfredo) OVERALL [Average of above 4 ratings] = 4.00 (4 stars) read more

Had pizza. It was excellent! This crispy buttery crust, not the dry floury kind from a greasy pizza joint--this pizza was fantastic. Had the Typo pizza. Great flavor, presentation, good service, etc. glad we stopped. read more
