My friend is a repeat customer of this restaurant and suggested we run in for a glass of wine and appetizer to celebrate the new year. The building is quite new and very clean. I walked in the carryout door and had to ask if I could seat myself in the restaurant bar area, and they didn't laugh at me, so that was a plus. We both had the wine of our choice and then shared the spinach artichoke dip which was actually quite good and served nice and hot. There were many people around us who were ordering main dishes and they all looked great; I can't wait to go back and try some for myself. The only down side of the experience is that the room is very loud due to the high ceilings and we had to repeat ourselves a bit to be heard, but that was okay-- it made for a funny evening. read more

Use to be a 5 star review but after last night, no thanks. $40 for a pizza that showed up half cold and half burnt. Didn't even bother calling to complain because half the time I've ordered here, the person on the other line seems bothered to be bothered with taking an order. Won't be ordering again. If anyone wants the coupons I have for the free pizza, let me know, you can have them. read more

We ordered take out from here. I was disappointed because I ordered the "stuffed crust cheese pizza" to find out when delivered that this meant deep dish not stuffed crust. I wish they would just label it deep dish pizza so this confusion doesn't happen. Needless to say when you are craving regular pizza and get deep dish it is not the same. Their deep dish pizza was ok. It's hard to say if it's any better or worse than the other deep dish places. I also ordered a can of coke because I was craving something with carbonation but it was flat :/ Its annoying they can't take credit cards on their website. When we called and ordered a stuffed crust pizza I wish they would have said "oh a deep dish?" So we would have known. Overall this experience was a flop for me because of these issues but the food was decent. Next time I will order their regular pizza as intended. Delivery price was reasonable, delivery was fast and friendly. read more

My daughter and I had sausage peppers and onions and baked mostaccioli with marinara sauce and both were absolutely delicious. First time at IPK and we will be back. Service was excellent never had to ask for drink refills or bread and Italian oil. 5 's read more

WAY WAY OVERPRICED They also Advertise specials then tell you "oh that house wine is not included" Charging downtown Chicago prices in the suburbs. Food is a tick above average, but just that. Small bar area that maybe seats 10 at the bar and 4 tables, that you can never get a seat at. Small, drab dining room where people sit only because there is no room at the bar. Many other places to go that are a better value with just as good food and much better atmosphere. read more

We ordered delivery online over the weekend, totaling just shy of $65.00. The online robots said my order would take about 45-60 minutes, typical times from IPK. I was very surprised to see the delivery arrive about 35 minutes later! After we got everything unpacked we found the pizza was extremely undercooked - the bottom crust was white and still had a flour taste. We ordered coconut shrimp - and received fried shrimp. Not the end of the world but we spent the extra money to get coconut shrimp. Ugh, these first-world problems just keep stacking up... We salvaged the disappointing meal by heating up our trusty cast iron pan and putting a nice crisp on the pizza and pretending there was coconut on the shrimp. We're on the hunt for a new pizza joint. Sorry IPK, we're breaking up. read more

Excellent food, and so many excellent choices on the menu. The servers are also very friendly and personable, and helpful. IPK makes you feel very welcome, the moment you walk in the door. Keep up the good work IPK. Also, the pizza is excellent!! read more

The place never disappoints! Authentic Italian cooking. The chicken Marsala tonight was melt in your mouth out of this world! Emily was a phenomenal server and very attentive. The place looks classier than every other restaurant I've been to nearby. All the staff are always super friendly. read more

I have always wanted to try this restaurant out. I would constantly drive by it while traveling down Irving Park Road. I finally had some time to check this place out. The restaurant that I went to visit was Italian Pizza Kitchen in Roselle. The day that I went to visit Italian Pizza kitchen was extremely hot. The temperature was in the upper 90s. I knew that whatever restaurant I would go to it would be somewhat muggy. I went during lunchtime and walked into the door closest to the parking lot. The door ended up being the takeout. The girl behind the counter looked at me like I had three heads and asked if I was here for pick up. I said no I think that I walked in the wrong door. The girl gave me a very nasty look and said this is the wrong door and that I need to go over to the other side. I don't know why she had an attitude, but that was made up for by how great our server was. The restaurant was not very full. It was somewhat muggy, but which was to be expected because it was so hot out. The water that was brought to our table was immediately sweating. Our waiter came to our table and his name was Alex. He was so extremely friendly and wanted to answer any questions that I might have. I asked him what was good on the menu because this was my first time here. He told me that the pizza, of course, is very good. He also told me that their meatball appetizer is very popular. I ended up going with their unique appetizer that was fries with melted cheese soaked in Italian beef juice. I asked Alex if it would be a problem if I actually added some Italian beef to the order and that I would pay the extra. He then told us that should not be a problem. I also put in an order for Caesar salads for both my wife and I. I asked Alex if it would be possible for me to make the meatball appetizer into a sandwich. Again, Alex, without skipping a beat, said that would not be a problem. The meatball appetizer consisted of ricotta cheese on top in a vodka sauce with basil. My wife went with their Eggplant Parmesan sandwich that came with fries. The Italian beef fries first came out and they looked absolutely fantastic. However, when I took a bite they were extremely salty. The beef was also chewy like it had been sitting for a while and had hardly any flavor. The Caesar salads were good. You can't really mess up a Caesar salad. The main entrees came out and they looked fantastic. The only visual critique that I could see on my wife's sandwich was that I normally remove the skin on the eggplant when I make Eggplant Parmesan myself. The eggplant skin leaves almost like a tough seal skin consistency. I take a bite of my sandwich and I thought I had Covid. There was absolutely no flavor to the sandwich. I literally just felt food in my mouth as I was chewing. There was no distinct flavor to anything. I tried my wife's Eggplant Parmesan sandwich and it was mushy with no real form and it had absolutely no flavor. I will say that the french fries were crispy and tasty. I was so disappointed how the food came out because visually it looked fantastic. I also could smell burning garlic coming from the kitchen. I do not know if they were having some issues in the kitchen that day. I will say that our server Alex was fantastic. He is what all servers should try to be, which is very attentive and friendly. I cannot see myself going back to Italian Pizza Kitchen. read more

My parents and I came here once a week for the pizza, up until about 4 months ago. We noticed the pizza had changed. The crust was so thin and had very little sauce. Not like it was before. We also always ordered flavored iced tea, and then they did away with that. The other drink choices did not include Dr. Pepper. It was always so cold, it was unpleasant, and the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other. Needless to say, we have stopped going. It's very disappointing to have your favorite place turn into one that you'll never return to. read more

This is my first review ever and this place deserves it. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Italian Pizza Kitchen last night. Incredibly friendly service from the servers, waiters, manager and owner. They were accommodating for our 2 year old in every way possible, too. Great ambience and set-up throughout the restaurant. We had the arancini, pizza and ended with gelato. Top tier quality food and service. We will be back, often! read more

very good pizza, above your average place with good options of different pizzas, very good desserts as well. always easy to go grad a slice on a lunch break it's so quick, now amount of seating too read more

My wife and I have been going to Italian Pizza Kitchen for more years than I can remember. We started going when they were a smaller carryout restaurant on Central Avenue in Roselle. They are our go to location for pizza and most other menu items. We even used them for holiday catering and invited friends to dine with us. The staff is attentive and friendly. If you haven't been there, you must give them a try. 5 stars for sure! read more

Always order take out or delivery here, so I can't comment on the dine in experience. Friendly staff with big smiles. Neither door dash nor Uber eats are available at this location but they provide their own delivery service. I almost always get my food delivered and the guy is super kind and friendly. The food is very fresh and always hot! Pricing is very average for the area. Pizza is good, cheese not too chewy, just perfect. I order different items each time I go, and nothing has been bad at all. read more

Wow 5/5 one of the best. First of all the staff - They're all great. From the hostess, bartenders, bus team and servers. Atmosphere is surgical clean! Food - No regrets. Love it when you ask a server about a dish and they comment it's good and I modify it with XYZ. With no up-charge! Drinks - Super fresh selection from local breweries in bottles/cans and draft! read more

Good appetizers - caprisi salad is huge and pesto fries are an interesting twist on traditional fries. Pizza is good and burgers are huge. Like the bar setting - marble bartop and wooden bar setting looks classy and inviting. 4 -star rating comes in due to what appears to be a lack of hairnets or hats in the kitchen - there were 2 hairs in my daughter's burger read more

We had the slice of Italian sausage and cheese, pizza and anti pasta salad everything is delicious there.

Been super disappointed the past few times we've ordered. 2 times ago our pizza wasn't even cooked in the middle. I called and was promised a credit. The next time we ordered they had nothing in the system...shocking! Then we ordered this weekend and I got a pasta dish with peas and mushrooms and there wasn't a mushroom top, but there were 20 stems. It was gross. How does a cook see that and send it out?? read more

We had lunch at the restaurant on Sunday. It was pretty empty so decided to eat inside as opposed to outside. Food was good. My pasta dish way too salty, but very good. However, the manager/owner (Steve) was not wearing a mask and neither were the cooks. We sat at the booth by the kitchen and we could see them cook without a mask. When they ran our credit card, they did for a higher amount (??). We asked our server why and the only thing she said was that she would cancel it and run it again. We are now waiting to see the charge clears with our bank. They also charged a "service fee," which another reviewer said it's because we paid with a credit card. They never informed us of that! We will not go back again at least during the pandemic. A good business practice is to have ALL your employees wear a mask including the manager and the cooks. read more

Delicious food made fresh and fast. We were starving and server/cashier hustled to put our order in right away. While we waited for pizza, we chomped on some delicious appetizers. Pizza was delicious even leftovers reheated a few days later. Restaurant itself is clean and has TV so we were able to catch some March Madness. Self serve soda station. Staff super friendly!! read more

I stopped by one of my favorite neighborhood spots yesterday with a good friend to catch a Bears game and some good eats. Glad I did because reminds me I need to visit Italian Pizza Kitchen more often as I find the value exceptional, the food delicious and service always attentive and friendly. First of all, this place run by a third generation restaurateur who knows the business top-to-bottom, so I can always depend on 'IPK' to score a touchdown when it comes to old school Italian food presented with an extra little touch of class without being pretentious. Second, their pizza and pasta dishes are seriously top-notch, their marinara marvelous and lamb shank entrees (what?), yes, lamb shank simply cannot be beat at these prices. Third, they have a full service bar with a wide range of beer, wine and liquors including those from local area producers-- Nice! Much as I would've loved to indulge in any of the aforementioned cuisine, on this day I just wanted focus on the game in and chow down on some good sports bar-type grub without having to patronize the actual local sports bar (another review for another time), so I thought about ordering one of their pub burgers on the new menu which I'll definitely have to soon try, but instead I opted for a good ole' Italian Beef w/sweet served w/fries and a side of 5-grain salad (nice touch) rather than typical cole slaw. The sandwich was stellar in every way; beef tender, green peppers perfect and au jus just the right amount of spice-- altogether awesome! For dessert the quintessential cannoli, what else? Top it off with a Bears win and I'm more than satisfied. I'll be back soon checking in regularly to report on some of the many entrees here at Italian Pizza Kitchen in Roselle. Until next time, 5-stars and 2 thumbs up! read more

Best pizza around. Nice restaurant with very good food. Very guest centric. Good customer service.

Ordered take-out and picked up about an hour ago. Good? Chicago-style stuffed pizza. NO. Cheese were too hard or thick- not like gooey, flavor in your mouth. Garlic bread. NO. They were hard and BURNT. You will only feel the hard "crunch" as it scratch the roof of your mouth. I feel sick now. I wouldn't recommend these two. Stick with thin. They do better with thin. read more

I love coming here for the pasta. The food here is usually fantastic and is what keeps me coming back. They are pretty good about delivery orders too and so far have not had an issue. Overall the staff is okay and the wait is sometimes a little long for food even when it's not too busy. The prices are VERY expensive for the service, but the pasta definitely makes it worth it. read more

We figured we would try again and ordered a pizza. Maybe a little payback was involved for the stellar review we gave them. If not it appears these guys have finally rock bottom with their service and product! I don't think anyone has ever done this poorly two times in a row. Sad to see how bad this place has gotten. No more chances for this place put a fork in them they are done! read more

Delicious! We got the calamari and burrata for appetizers. The calamari was fresh and the burrata was paired nicely with the drizzle! We also got a pasta to share with sausage vodka and that was delicious the pasta felt home made and just the right kind to texture. I also got a chop salad which was delicious! We also got desert, the hazelnut chocolate mousse was delicious!! Def will go back again and try more of the pasta! read more

This restaurant is local to me in Roselle on Irving Park. It's more upscale than most restaurants here, which is probably why it's usually packed. I've been curious to try it for a long time so I was glad to finally try it tonight. The menu is bigger than I expected but also pricier than I expected. Hubby had some sort of mussel and pasta dish. He said it was good but not exemplary. However, the soup that came with the entree WAS exemplary he said. He got the minestrone, which he said was so thick and chunky it was more like a sauce. I got a steak sandwich that came with fries and the "five grain salad". Sandwich was good, very large and the "salad" was different than I expected but not bad at all. Service was just OKAY, but it was the dinner rush so things were fairly busy. I think this place would be a good option for a date night if you don't want a bar/grill. Not sorry I tried it! read more

Was excited to try the pizza considering the restaurant name but was underwhelmed. Nothing besides the amount of toppings is really worth noted. We had the gnocchi and I was even more underwhelmed. I didn't think the sauce had much flavor and to me, it was a complete pass, Our server was moderately attentive and knew when to stop by and our orders were correct; however, her service with drinks was slightly delayed. The 2 items of note were the complimentary bread with oil and pesto and the tiramisu. Each was really good and almost worth going back for. read more

Went there for a car show on a Monday night and we stayed for the pizza I really enjoyed the pizza with the ample choices of toppings which I chose were meatballs ,fresh garlic ,sliced beef ,and sausage all very generous portions all throughout the very thin crust pizza The greeter was very friendly and quickly found us a table our friends got the wrap buffalo chicken and I guess it was good because by the time I asked him how it was it was already vanished and he was eating on our pie great place with some really good pizza I wish they all were like this group of people when I'm back out in this area it'll be my go to spot for sure thank you for having us read more
