Leap into the Yelp-scape for something close but not a chain. Boom CortiLeno's pops up. 10" Pie for $12? We are all in. Walked in about 6pm Monday night quiet. Great bartender took order of one extra pepperoni sans cheese and one traditional pepperoni and cheese. "I'll be back in 20. Should I pay before I leave? No thats fine." Back 20 mins later a bit more crowded and pizzas ready to go. Ambience of space is not my vibe because I dislike the electronic gaming. Thats a me thing On way out chef/owner/dude.."I killed that one pizza with pepperoni." He did indeed. Happiness all around. Great sauce, amazing crust (soft so if you want crispy give them an alert) perfect amount of cheese and toppings. Great job!

The bartender provided good service! I ordered a cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese with fries. My wife ordered a cheeseburger with American cheese and fries. My wife had a sprite to drink and I had a water. The soda is 1 dollar!! Both our burgers were fantastic, tasty, and juicy! The burgers are 1/2 lb burgers! The frozen fries here are awesome !

Another fantastic find! Youngest recommended this place. So, Wifey, Youngest and I decided to…read morecheck it out. The vibe here coming in is just so, well, how to describe it... "Cool"? It's just a wonderfully spacious place. Not the typical "shove in as many as we can". I was a huge fan of the bruschetta appetizer. The bread want nearly as hard as you usually get, and the Italian "pico" was quite flavorful. If you like nothing tastes and your taste buds live in mashed potatoes, don't bother. The Bianca pizza was really nice. Crust was the Italian style with the right texture, and crispness. My only complaint, the chairs are uncomfortable. Wifey's thoughts? She's busy today, so I will just tell ya, she loved everything and cannot wait to come back. So, I'm sorry this brief review isn't up to our regular standards, but we will be back and do a nicer job next time. (By the way, the service was good, but the server we had (I didn't get her name) needs to learn about the beer wall, but I think she was new.

I will say they give tons of meat and they are not skimpy at all with toppings. We also ordered a cheeseburger pizza. The sauce is actually made out of ketchup and mustard, which honestly was pretty good. My only complaint would be the pickles on top are way too overpowering, and I would take them off next time.

Pizza places is one thing that Illinois Valley definately does not lack in, and is also one of my…read morefavorite foods....I originally tried Lil' Bella's, in LaSalle, on St. Patrick's Day, when I saw a Facebook advertisement for a Stuffed Rueben Roll Pizza....seriously, how could you pass up that??? I called and ordered it. Asked a bunch of questions.... Come to find out the medium was plenty big. It was delivered and I immediately had to try it. It was seriously incredible. I immediately sent food photos to my friends bragging about how good it was. I literally could eat one piece and be comfortably full. It was so good, I ended up eating two. It wasn't but a few days later and I was ordering again, but this time the Stuffed Beef Roll. Again, seriously didn't disappoint. Since that first trip, I've probably ordered from there 4-5 times. It's soon became a favorite of mine. In two of those times I had issues come up.... An unexpected emergency after placing the order. I had to cancel the delivery and asked if I could pick it up before they closed. Couple hours later, I picked it up and it was still warm. Last order, I wanted to surprise my buddies and drive some to them 1 hour and 15 minutes away. Problem is, they only had a small refrigerator to fit food in. Called Lil' Bella's up and explained the issue, and they went on and on about what they could do to solve my issue. My buddies LOVED the pizza by the way. Lil' Bella's seriously to me is a hidden gem that you can pass by a bazillion times, and not truly understand how lucky you are for having that place close by that you can order from. A couple other things to note... They make everything from scratch. Nothing comes from a can, box, or bag. The stuffed rolls and most likely many other things are made with their smoked meats...again, made from scratch. Its locally owned and family ran. Customer service is top notch. Seriously, they are so friendly, helpful...even when they have bragging rights because their pizza is so dang good!!!! Suggest following them on Facebook and TikTok if you can. They put pride in their social media which is great. Every once in a while you see them share that their food truck/trailer is somewhere around the area. Highly suggest stopping by for a bite to eat if you see it out and about. Sadly, food is only for pickup or delivery. Makes it kind of hard for the people who just pass through. Highly booking a room at a local hotel, and add this to your visit to maybe the Starved Rock day or something. Well done Lil' Bella's.... You have me bragging when we only met just a short few weeks ago. Totally worth it because it's a favorite in that short of time.
