Overpriced, mid-tier pizza. Can't believe paid 66$ for a pizza, beef roll, and a dozen boneless…read morewings. Prefaced with I've never been to Illinois till earlier this week, ergo unaware of quality and what restaurants people will keep going through patronage, I have spent the last few days checking out restaurants on Yelp. Noticed this was a surprisingly highly rated spot, even though the photos didn't look that great. Through ordering online , placed an order for a small pan pizza , not realizing (isn't listed on their website) that adding any toppings is 1.25$ more each; like a 23$ small pizza. It appears the pizza had its toppings put after the sauce, and cheese on top, leaving an unsatisfying appearance and feeling I would've needed to order "extra cheese" to get a normal pizza. The exterior of the crust was hard, like baked too high of a temp for too long, and crunched like a cracker with the dough being dense and flavorless. The "beef roll" appeared to be their small dough folded over into a 12"x8" rectangle and cut into 1"x3" long pieces , and dusted with an Italian seasoning. Thin shaved beef inside, opted for pepperoni in it too. It was alright, again the crust put me off, the au jous that comes with it was watery and bland, and for 20.50$, felt like an overpay. Personally I like getting boneless wings with pizza, so opted for a dozen of those for us. Limited flavors , went with "hot", which was no hotter than Franks red hot. If they were fried, they steamed inside their foil and styrofoam container, and were received soggy and soft. Nothing noteworthy on taste or experience there.. beyond the 16.75$ charge, making each quarter-sized piece like 1.40$ each All in all impression: overpriced. I wouldn't go back, and if this is the best rated pizza in town, think I won't be going out for pizza around here the duration of my trip, least it be overpriced for mediocre food again.

I think they closed, we both got food poisoning. Won't let me leave NO STARS, or I would.read more

Saturday dine in special of 23 ounce domestic beers for smaller price and the pizza upgrade to the next size for no charge was terrific. Nice inside areas but I'd rather sit in the bar area next time. Less stuffy and brighter. The outdoor area is nice! Lots of tables and a quiet side of the building. The pizza was Italian sausage and fresh garlic. It did not disappoint. Good amount of sauce and the sausage is some of the best you'll find on a pizza. The dough bites (nice garlic and parm coating) as an appetizer were good but I saved room for the pizza mostly. Some on down and have a great pizza here!
