    Margherita
    Jeannette A.

    Came back because we were craving the butternut squash risotto, and we had to send it back :(. Even the pictures can show the difference, they changed the recipe and it tasted like eating roses. No thank you! Please go back to the OG. On the plus side, we switched it with the chicken parm....and was happy. The basil pesto sauce has a strong basil punch and I liked it, my partner did not. But the chicken itself was nice a thinned with a great crisp crust. Watch out for the little kick in the Paccheria vodka, it's nice but doesn't linger too long.

    Al fresco season in downtown Wheaton is back and best believe Gia Mia is part of it! A group of 5 of us dined in for dinner and for a weekday outing this place was BUSY. The first person to arrive opted to sit indoors which is fine! We were seated at a table across from the bar. The area itself felt tight but thankfully the table seating itself was spacious enough for us. Service throughout was decent. Everything was timed out well and we didn't have any long waits in between. I got the paccheri vodka pasta and it was good! I've had this dish at the downers grove location so I was expecting the sauce to be more saucey. From here it was on the thinner side and the amount of sauce given was good enough. The noodles were cooked exactly how I like em though, al dente.

    Gia Mia is hands down the best restaurant in Wheaton. Food is always excellent, staff friendly but efficient and the atmosphere is casual but cozy. We go here often. It's our favorite. Visited this week for my birthday. We had the Prosciutto and Fig Bruschetta as an appetizer. It was perfectly grilled bread with fig jam, ricotta, and Prosciutto with a balsamic glaze. The ricotta and Prosciutto are so simple but such high quality - excellent. I had the Scottish Salmon and my husband had the Chicken Piccata. The salmon is served in a light sauce over farro with asparagus and baby squash. And if you like briny capers, you will love the Chicken. We finished with the Tiramisu. Gia me also has excellent pasta and wood fire pizza. Honestly, there is nothing on the menu I don't like

    Great service and really good food! Not a huge space so I would go for a cute date night or a small group. Intimate setting with nice decor. Their wood fired pizzas are so yummy!

    First time at Gia Mia! Greeted immediately but the restaurant was super busy so there was a 10 minute wait. For our appetizers we got the Zucchini Fries which were fire, Ricotta + Honeycomb was delicious too, the Spinach + Artichoke Fonduta had a bit too much spinach but still pretty good. For our main entrees we got the Pear + Caramelized Onion and the Paccheri Vodka Pasta - both main entrees were solid! Definitely recommend this place to all in downtown Wheaton.

    Absolutely love this place the food there was so good. I had the chicken Parmesan with pasta loved it. Decided to try the bourbon drink oh my God I had two of them now I wanna make it at home. It was so good. Definitely the service was great. The ambience was really casual. Laid-back absolutely liked. I can't wait to go back. the food is amazing seriously!!

    Prosciutto and Burrata
    Kristena R.

    This is a lovely Italian restaurant with great menu options. I came here with a friend and it was definitely an excellent choice. We really enjoyed the food and the relaxing atmosphere. We ordered the prosciutto and burrata and the zucchini fries for our appetizers. Both were amazing. The burrata was perfect and came with delicious prosciutto slices and pizza bread. For dinner, I ordered the paccheri vodka pasta. I loved the giant rigatoni and small crumbled pieces of Italian sausage. I would order this again for sure...I'll be back in the future!!

    Lovely place to have a meal with wonderful menu options. Our whole table enjoyed the food and the ambiance. Calamari $14 - Very good, lightly breaded and fried. Brussels Sprouts $8 - Flavorful dish. Stinger pizza $15 - Love the thin chewy crust, delicious combination of toppings! Paccheri Vodka pasta $18 - Great merriment of sauce and sausage in this pasta. Medallions of Beef $29 - Steak is tender and the sides are perfectly seasoned. Dolcinos $13 - Dessert sampler is a great way to try a little bit of 4 different types of desserts. I liked the strong coffee taste in the tiramisu and the vanilla bean gelato was a hit. We came for a birthday celebration and they gave the birthday girl a complimentary pistachio ice cream, what a nice touch! I'll have to remember to check out their half price pizza on Mondays. Reservations can be made on Resy. Street parking is easy to find. They have 6 locations around Chicagoland. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024

    Burrata Pie

    Service was great! Everything we got here was so delicious and cake out so fast. I've literally been thinking about this pizza since I ate it, the cold burratta cheese on the warm pizza is so delicious. Literally cannot wait to come back here

    Pear and Limoncello Fiesta
    Danae S.

    Came here to meet a friend. I made a reservation, and good thing I did because it was busy for a week night. Service was fast. It was a little loud, but just because it was busy and lots of people were talking. I got the pear and limoncello fiesta. Light pear and lemon flavor. It's not too sweet. Pizza was yummy as well, great crust!

    Review is on take out only (but would love to come by dine out on the patio sometime soon too)! But all the food was delicious. Got the short rib gnocchi. Rigatoni vodka pasta, smashed potatoes and arancini! So good! Can't wait for next time!

    Scottish Salmon

    visited Gia Mia in Wheaton to catch up with a few friends. We had reservations and were quickly seated. the service was quickly, however our server did not seem to put all too much effort into being friendly and only spoke to us when we placed our order. I ordered the Scottish Salmon. The salmon was salmon--it was decent but nothing special. It was simply salmon over farro with lemon. I would not go out of my way to go to Gia Mia and get it again. My friends ordered vodka pasta and pizza. The vodka pasta lacked vodka sauce and were coated very thinly. It almost seemed like the sauce evaporated off of the plate. The pizza also wasn't very flavorful. My friends liked their food, but did not think it was anything special either. Overall, the food wasn't bad by any means, but nothing special and I do not think I would go out of my way to get it again.

    Gym, tan, laundry, pizza! We had been to their Carol Stream location, and while driving around the…read moresouth burbs we decided to come to this one for a quick dinner. Tonight we learned the Carol Stream one had closed, and ownership here was changing hands, but the new owners don't intend to mess with a good thing. We're not super familiar with Jersey style pizza, but it is nice being able to get really nice pizza by the slice. We tried the pepperoni, the sausage, the three sauce (with vodka sauce and pesto), and the white pizza (with garlic and ricotta). All were great, and surprisingly my preschooler's favorite was the three sauce (which I think is also mine), while my wife liked the white pizza. The slices are huge with a good crisp undercarriage, and lots of flavorful sauce on top. The service we experienced at both locations were top notch as well. To top it off, when we came here, there was a table with a couple people who looked straight out of Jersey (at least from my limited knowledge), and they were big fans as well. Looking forward to returning!

    Pie Life is the real deal…read more If you're craving authentic NJ-style pizza, this place absolutely delivers. Joe has nailed the fundamentals that matter most -- a perfectly thin, crisp crust with just the right bite, and a sauce that's beautifully balanced between sweet and tangy without overpowering the pie. What really sets Pie Life apart is the variety of flavors. Whether you're a classic slice person or someone who likes to explore more creative combinations, every pie feels intentional and dialed in. You can tell this is made by someone who respects tradition but isn't afraid to elevate it. Easily one of those spots you keep thinking about after the last slice is gone. If you know NJ pizza, you'll recognize it immediately -- and if you don't, Pie Life is a great place to learn what you've been missing.

This PLACE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We tried the basic deep dish pizza with pepperoni to go and it was delicious! The sauce was tasty and thick, while the burned edges gave it an added flavor unlike any pizza we have ever tried. The bread is not a "pie" crust but more a fluffy, thick bread. I do recommended you order ahead as it's a 45-50 minute process to cook the masterpiece. It was well worth wait. They have two entrances for this location. One is the pick-up and go side while the entrance closest to the street corner, is the sit-down restaurant. I did notice people waiting outside and when I walked in to see the vibe, they had a small bar area and had several high tables to sit at. The hostess was really sweet and I even bought a $1 sticker to remember our stop here. I highly recommend this location for your deep dish pizza experience!
