First time visiting and I live in this town. Pizza and salad were really good. Service was friendly and quick. It was a graduation night and they were busy and it was half price pizza night. They had it handled. We'll be back. read more

Best pizza I have had outside the city Great service If you like seafood, the Grigliata is awesome read more

This has to be me and my wifes favorite pizza ever made. We order from IPK maybe once a month if neither of us are on a meal plan. Great flavor, always comes steaming hot, delivery is quick. We've never been disappointed. read more

We decided to try italian pizza kitchen again after 2 yr from the bad experience we had before and sure enough they still are terrible ,I ordered a chef cheezy beef at $16.50 I'd expect something special since most places sell around $12.00 any way it was burnt bread black around the edges and the beef shriveled up and dry as dust I ordered hot peppers on the side and of course they forgot those I called and mentioned it they put me on hold to go check in the kitchen to see if they forgot ( like I'm lieing ) lol after a few min the lady asked if I wanted them ? I said yes and they sent them out also ordered a chopped salad that appeared to be washed and not dried so there was a puddle of water on the bottom of the container so we wont be trying them again . Shame that nothin has improved and with thir ridiculously high prices I dont know how they stay in business read more

So far every time I've ordered food has been good. Good costumer service. Pasta with vodka sauce has been good and pizza is always good.

Too salty. Nothing very appealing based on authentic Italian recipes. Stick to the pizza. Beer and wine list very sparse. Beware they add a 2.9% service charge unless you pay with cash then make sure they take it off if you do. Nice looking interior but I didn't eat to pay for the decor. read more

The pizza was undercooked and not anything special, but the customer service is horrible. I was going to place an order online, but didn't want to enter my email address so I called in the order instead. When the girl on the phone gave me the total it was a dollar and change more than the online price. Not a big deal, but I asked about it- she apologized that the online prices are incorrect and they are working on changing it, didn't offer to price adjust for the minimal amount like I asked. Then I went in to pick up the order. A tattooed guy who helped me, who I later discovered is the new manager. He was shouting at employees about gifs or something while ringing me up. I figured I'd ask about the price again. Even though it was only about a dollar difference, I was annoyed I was given different totals and thought the right thing to do would be honor the online price. The manager gave me some nonsense about the difference being an online order incentive- little did he know I was already told by an employee the online prices are wrong. I just let it go at that point and paid the extra dollar, but did not appreciate being lied to and not given the correct price. I will not be returning to Italian Pizza Kitchen. I would have went to Cofelos Corner, but they were closed because of weather. I'm sticking with Cofelos in the future- they have awesome customer service and pizza. read more

slow service to start Got 3 ingredients on a pizza, and it cost $30.00 $17 was for the toppings. WTF was told that is premium toppings, she never told us when we ordered. We complained to management, but they are more interested in making money that making customers happy. read more

Kind of disappointing that the owner and/or manager came to the table with our food without a mask on and was also walking around without a mask on. Sets a really poor example. Also the tables were not 6 feet apart and even though there were other tables available, the host sat other guests right next to us. But great service and always delicious food! read more

Delicious food, but more importantly exceptional service!! John and our server Kelly went above and beyond to ensure our family had a wonderful diner experience. Would recommend for any occasion! The pizza was a personal favorite but the crew also loved the calamari. read more

Their pizza is terrible. Their pasta is inedible. Skip it and head to Marino's in Elk Grove

Such a good spot for a family dinner. The staff is absolutely amazing and do everything to place you. John and Kelly were the nicest people and did everything to assure a great dinner. Highly recommend! read more

My first thought for pizza tonight was Rosati's, but they didn't have any current coupons and they apparently weren't running any specials, so IPK it was! I know the owner of Italian Pizza Kitchen values input, as both the +1 and I were contacted following our last reviews. He included his number and offered an "improved experience," which was thoughtful. I hadn't accepted because, though the sentiment is nice, I just feel uncomfortable about it. Anyhoo, we decided the extensive menu and coupon were enough incentive to give them another shot. We ordered Take Out: a Shrimp + Spinach Linguine and an 18" thin crust with spinach + half anchovies. I was quoted 25-30 minutes (they're 10 minutes away). I arrived on time (7:45) and my order was taken out of the warmer. When I got home and my +1 saw the pizza: "How does it go again? ' Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me?' " The cheese was half hardened and the pasta lukewarm, so we had to reheat it all. Makes me wonder how long it sat. The linguine was cooked well and the sauce was tasty, but the shrimp were SUPER salty (frozen/brine). They included a sandwich roll which felt pillowy and soft in the cellophane. Oh, and a little packet of parmesan cheese: nice! As for the pizza: it had LOTS of cheese. Heavy, oily cheese (no Lowfat Moz here!) and a too-hard and really bland crust. IMO the only flavorful part was the sauce, which is a shame. Definitely sad I ordered such a large pie because the bf wants nothing to do with it. Maybe it's about timing, or maybe it's just me, but I need a better pizza. The search resumes! read more

My experience with Italian Pizza Kitchen is solely based off of my delivery experience. Nothing too exciting to report, but hopefully this is still helpful. Here goes... A couple weeks ago my parents and I went over to my sister's place for games, drinks and to hang out. For dinner we planned to order in. My sister suggested IPK. She said her and her boyfriend order food from there all the time and it's really good. However, she said their pizza wasn't her favorite but she has loved everything else. So why, did I decide to order pizza? Who knows. I blame my decision on the bottle of wine I drank prior. I claimed not to be super hungry so my mom and I split a 12 inch pizza. We went with the Bianca which consisted of fresh ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan on thin crust topped with your choice of broccoli or spinach (we had spinach). Then all of that is drizzled with extra virgin olive oil (no red sauce). It was definitely tasty. Not my absolute favorite pizza, but a good combo for sure. My main complaint was that their was too much spinach. It was literally a thick layer of chunky spinach laying under all that delicious cheese. Too much for me. The delivery was timely and everything came hot. My dad got an Italian beef sandwich which looked really yummy, and so did the other burgers/sandwiches that were ordered. I thought prices were reasonable as well. I'll for sure be enjoying their food again since it's a staple spot for my sis. Can't wait to dive into their menu outside of pizza, because they offer a lot of other options! read more

Craving a football sized calzone? How about a bucket of gnocchi? Well, if so, you're in luck with Italian Pizza Kitchen. Not only are these quick, Italian eats tasty and fresh, the portions are B.I.G. The fam and I rolled in on a sleepy Saturday afternoon, looking to fill our bellies and not upset anyone in a more upscale restaurant by bringing a 14 month old. We had the whole place to ourselves, which worked out well since they only have a handful of tables and one highchair. Score! The folks behind the counter were super sweet and helpful, welcoming the three of us as we made our way through their plentiful offerings. I sampled quite a bit but here are a few standouts... Cheesy garlic bread: A thick coating of flavorful, garlicky cheese atop toasty bread. Yum fest all around. Caprese sandwich with pesto: Very fresh bread stuffed with an ample portion of thick mozzarella medallions, bright tomato, a drizzle of balsamic and a delicious spread of pesto. The sammie was large and in charge, ensuring that I had a sizeable lunch the next day. Gnocchi with sauteed spinach: I'm not kidding when I say the portions are huge. My daughter ate some, I ate some, my husband ate some, my daughter ate some the next day for lunch and we *still* have some left. The gnocchi were none too soft, covered in a zesty marinara and a decent serving of sauteed spinach scattered about. Pro-tip: I overheard that they deliver within five miles. Definitely want to give that a go in the future! read more

Bravo IPK! You fed our family gathering yesterday that was supposed to be 25 and dropped to 10 when the Corona virus scare caused us to scale back to just one family. It was our first time using your catering service and you did not disappoint. Your pizza traveled well and was hot and delicious. The Rigatoni with Vodka sauce was a favorite by all. The beef sandwich's we ate all night. The chicken Vesuviuo with potato's and broccoli were tender and perfectly cooked. The day was a little disappointing but the food you provided was the highlight for the hungry Italian family. Thank you so much. Hopefully we'll see you soon in person. The Scardina family read more

Always delicious! My first time dining-in since COVID and it did not disappoint. Friendly service, great lunch menu selections, and delicious food. They brought back Rotolo for lunch, which is my favorite dish. Unfortunately, they were out of it. So ordered gnocchi florentine. Very tasty. We had an hour for lunch and the food came quickly. So we did not feel rushed and no mad race back to work! read more

The next stop on my pizza hunt in the NW burbs is the Italian Pizza Kitchen. I used to drive by this place every day and thought why the hell is there a pizza place in the middle of all these warehousey type places, and wondered how good the business was. Last night the kids wanted pizza and our old reliable place is closed on Mondays. Well, I'm happy to report that this place may have sidelined our old reliable place for some upcoming occasions. Cheese is great. Sausage was good -- needs a bit more of a kick though. Crust is great. Best of all, they know how to cook a pizza well done. This place is great. I'd give it 4.5 stars if it were possible. I don't like that they don't have small or baby sized pizzas though! Their smallest is a normal medium at other places. read more

Small little pizza place in Roselle. We ordered a customized pizza -- spinach, black olives, chicken, and cheese and an order of fried zucchini. The staff there was nice and the pizza came out in under 20-minutes. Pizza was "meh"... I always thought a true sign of good pizza is when you have it cold the next day and it still tastes delicious. Well, we never really experienced the pizza hot to begin with, as for the most part, it was luke warm at best by the time we dug in. In my opinion, the pizza had way too much cheese and the chicken that was on it was rather bland and dry. On the other hand, the fried zucchini sticks were decent, but my vegan friend wasn't too impressed. I'll stick to her opinion -- can't trust a meat-a-tarian like me for reviews on veggie apps. read more

One of the worst customer service ever. I came in because it was first come first serve and the girl at front told me there's a wait for 20 minutes, then there's a couple behind me walks in and get a table. I asked the girl if they had any reservations because I was there before them so she replied, "I thought you didn't want the table anymore". You guys need to work on yourself and your staff needs better training on things. read more

This place is not what it used to be. Very poor with delivery service, there is no management control. 1hr and 30min. Still no food showing up. We need to order from some place else. Heck, we're order from Domino's. 1hr I can have 2 orders delivered to our home. Here's my review for IPK..... AWSOME PIZZA, SERVICE SUCKS, THE KITCHEN COOKS CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. AND DELIVERY CAN'T GO OUT IF THE COOKS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE F##%^ THEY ARE DOING. Let alone to read the stamped time the order came in..Time to find a new place to order from. Covid issue or not, figure it out. BYE BYE!! read more

This was my first time here. I met a friend from work for dinner. The decor of the restaurant is really nice. It felt very relaxed and comfortable. I couldn't help but notice all the great specials they have, including half price pizza on Tuesdays! Since it was Thursday, it was half price appetizers so we decided on the mozzarella stuffed breadsticks. Oh, boy! They were amazing! The bread was just crispy enough and the cheese was gooey. They were really good! I ordered an individual pizza, while my friend ordered the buffalo wrap. Both of us enjoyed our dinners, however they weren't anything special. The pizza wasn't as good as some other pizzerias that I've had in the area. She said the same about her wrap. Our server was excellent. He was prompt and attentive but still gave us time to relax and talk to each other. I would go back to IPK but maybe try something else other than the pizza. read more

Daughter just moved to Roselle and we had to get some lunch for the move. We had driven by the night before on our way to Target so we thought we would try it. We had it delivered and it was quoted about an hour and came in less then that piping hot! It was so good! Sauce was robust and flavorful, Cheese was stringy and gooey, the sausage and pepperoni were very flavorful. We were so happy with the choice she has found her new pizza go to! read more

Food was very good, this was our first time and definitely will come back. Haley our waitress was was great and very attentive.

Very delicious! The pepperoni is mixed into the layers of cheese making it even better. Never thought layering would make a big difference.

I'm sadden that I had to move my 5 star to a 1 Star. Unfortunately, they have sacrificed their business practices to up their profits. It is completely UNETHICAL and more so ILLEGAL to charge a service charge when you use a credit card without PRIOR knowledge. Not only are you breaking the terms with your credit card services but you are misleading customers by not giving them prior knowledge that they will pay more when using a credit card. You have certainly lost your integrity as a business owner and also a loyal patron. Best of luck! read more

Not impressed unfortunately. My chicken parm was extremely thin and over cooked so it was tough to cut and eat. Service wasn't that great either. The restaurant was NOT busy at all, but the servers were running around like it was. (Maybe they were understaffed?). Our server didn't bring us any bread, so i asked if we get any. And then she tells me it's cooking and that her last 2 tables didn't get any bread. What??! It's bread. A staple of Italian dining. There should always be enough bread. Most likely will never go back. read more

Currently have a family member going through chemo with unusual tastes and ability to keep things down - she requested off menu items that usually are for catering only and when I explained it was for someone going through chemo they made it happen -- they have always been on top of everything here and during a super busy Friday evening with folks backed up waiting in line (patiently which I appreciated); phones ringing they took the time, order and consulted cooks to ensure can do it right and done! Adding on a year later I have taken my mom to eat at the IPK new location on Irving and was again amazed that nothing has been lost in the move as far as personal service. Visited again yesterday with a friend just returning from mission work in Africa and had the pleasure to be served by Racheal and she was outstanding. I appreciate a place that not only serves great food but also makes the time there a special experience. I recommend the Basil Gimlet as something a little different and refreshing during summer. read more

I've had better it was just eh. I was so underwhelmed with thr flavor of my food, I dont even want to bother putting in the energy on all that was wrong. But Yelp makes me keep writing. read more

Wow what an amazing experience we had tonight at Italian Pizza Kitchen!! The hostess was a doll and Our server Alondra was so attentive and knowledgeable! The food was perfect! Our favorite part was the Salmon and Grilled Calamari!! Cooked to perfection!! The atmosphere was casual and super comfy. We were not rushed and truly enjoyed our time here. Great job to the owners and staff!! We can't wait to come back!! read more

First, let me say that Italian Pizza Kitchen has pretty good pizza. They are definitely in our rotation. All good and I recommend it. However, their other food can be 2 out of 5 stars. My last delivery non- pizza order was for a meatball sandwich. No brainer for an Italian pizza joint. Wrong. Sloppy, soggy, cold, unacceptable. I called to complain and they quickly sent a new one. It was a bit better. This delivery order was for lasagna with an order of garlic bread. First, the garlic bread was terrible. No taste and soggy. Should be a no brainer. The lasagna packaging was good. The portion was very hot. Nice size portion. Plenty of melted cheese, pasta sheets nicely cooked, decent tomato sauce. However, the product was as salty as a bag of Lays potato chips. My lips are still burning. Clearly the head chef has no control or input into the quality of the food coming out of the kitchen. This restaurant could be much better with a little attention to detail. I hope they improve. read more

They really do need a bigger restaurant! Can't wait until the new location is finished. The people behind the counter are ALWAYS nice!!!! That goes such a long way and is truly what is missing at a lot of restaurants! Another lovely lunch there again today. I brought my sister and mom in for a nice bite, they were totally happy with their food! Order the bruschetta! Thank you for being consistent with quality, freshness and friendliness! :) read more

Italian Pizza Kitchen - Another yummy fresh lunch! I am never disappointed! Such fantastic bruschetta! - Italian Near Me - Roselle, Illinois

Originally I was very impressed until yesterday. Was placing a $300 order for a luncheon at work from the regular menu and they added a $30 catering fee and said that was their policy. Well I didn't order catering and nowhere on the menu did that state that. I order these types of lunches often for work and no one charges that fee. Employees also order smaller items from there a lot. Very frustrating and when I went to cancel the order due to it..they said okay...sorry!! Terrible customer service!! read more

A group of us ordered from here last night. Did pick up and ate at the brewery near by. Pick up time was exactly what they said.. took about an hour which seems normal for a Friday evening. Pizza was good!! Plenty of sauce and cheese. Also ordered cheesy bread which was tasty as well! Highly recommend by all in our group! read more

The food was just horrible. It was a waste of 100 bucks. White Castle can do better then this place. The baked clams are like rubber. The eggplant Parmesan was dried out to the point that cardboard with sauce would taste better. Not to mention they can't get an order over the phone correct to save there life. I asked for dairy free no cheese on Mostaccioli. . I got baked mostaccioli with cheese on it. Had to call for a new one . Then the delivery guy had an attitude probably because he wasn't getting a second tip. We'll go ask your screw up of a boss to make good on your tip. read more

i have been trying to support the local businesses during these trying times. i have ordered on multiple occasions from the steak wrap to chicken tenders, pizza. all the food is pretty good especially the breadsticks with cheese! note they during the week they sell large slices of pizza for $5 during the day! read more

This place is amazing, the staff is even better. Emily was our server and she was an absolute delight to have. The tiramisu is amazing and so is the fettuccine alfreado. Great service and great place. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Don't bother. There were 3 adults for dinner. It was not crazy busy. Our waiter never came back to our table after taking our appetizer order. Then no one came to check on us. Never a "we're sorry"! Then the 2 salads came but my soup was not showing up and the waiter that jumped in didn't notice until the 3rd trip to the table. I could go on but I won't bother. Save your money!! read more

Let me start by saying, we are definitely going to try again. I used to eat from the IPK many moons ago when I lived in Roselle on a regular basis. I moved away and it wasn't really local to me anymore. Now that we are back in the area and they've got a snazzy new building on Irving Park Road, it was time to go back. Service was very good. Prompt and attentive. All good stuff. The fried calamari was a winner across the table! Tasty, non-rubbery calamari was awesome! The bread service is pretty nice too. Olive oil with a dab of pesto in the dish, cheese on the side and a crusty loaf of bread made their way in front of us and delighted palates from start to finish. But, I think we should have ordered pizza. The hubs went with chicken Parmesan while I had pasta with shrimp, broccoli and a white wine sauce. Sadly, his entire meal with overcooked and oversauced (in our opinions). The chicken while tasty was dry and too chewy. His pasta was overdone, but my bucatini was cooked perfectly. My baby shrimp were fine, but the poor broccoli practically dissolved in the white wine sauce. It was just completely mushy. Side note...the women's bathroom was super clean and fully stocked! Overall, the smells and sights were what you'd expect and made us certain we will be back. I really think we just didn't make the best selections from the menu. read more
