Pizza Villa in DeKalb delivers a classic, satisfying pizza experience, highlighted by their…read morecommitment to fresh ingredients. Pizza Villa Special: "This Dekalb favorite comes loaded with our home seasoned Italian sausage, mushroom, green pepper and onion." I added pepperoni and it did not overwhelm the dish. This sausage, mushroom, onion, bell pepper, and pepperoni pizza is a standout, with each topping bringing bold, distinct flavor. The real star is the fresh mushrooms--earthy, tender, and noticeably superior to the canned variety you'll find elsewhere. Combined with perfectly seasoned sausage and crisp bell peppers, it's a balanced, flavorful bite every time. I also added the perfectly crispy potato wedges (do yourself a favor and sprinkle Parmesan Cheese on them generously while they are hot) and a good old fashioned Root Beer Float . Wonderful attentive service to boot! I felt like I was in a different era.

Well to start off with I paid $19.28 for a 3 inch meatball sandwich. I asked for two extra…read moremeatballs and they charge me an additional five dollars for the meatballs. I also charged me extra for cheese not to mention the food had no flavor whatsoever, so that's why I'm giving it only one star

Best of the many bars in DeKalb. It has been a long time local favorite. Lord Stanley's has been…read morewhere NIU students and locals watch sports, get trashed, and eat greasy pizza for years. For sure it's not a nice looking place but this isn't where to go to impress anyone. The cheap prices and cheap tastes are the main things. A lot of bars around here are nothing special looking, and this is no exception. It's pretty much a worn out looking place. The inside is bigger than it looks, with room enough for quite a crowd to watch games and stuff. Lots of good deals going on. These are daily and weekly. It's about $4 for a cocktail. The basics like whiskey and Coke or whatever. A lot of classic appetizers. It's about $4 for the World Famous Willies. Highly suspect these are that famous. These are fried pizza dough balls served with red sauce. Also you can get these with garlic and Parmesan cheese. The pizzas are pretty greasy but still are popular. Classic small town college bar. It's open in the afternoon to late at night, so lots of time to come in and have good times. There's plenty of the locals, not just the college students who like to hang out or whatever.

You simply cannot go wrong with the pizzas or the price! Great for friends get together.read more

Zana's was recommended by a local and it delivers--figuratively speaking (maybe literally too?)…read more Super thin, crispy crust, with wood fired goodness. The toppings were a bit scant but otherwise excellent pizza. Good variety of interesting pre-set pizzas to choose from, plus other menu items. Good service too--very accommodating. Atmosphere is fine, though we went during off hours and was very quiet. Let's trace the history of top pizza joints in Dekalb: 1. J.P. Hannigans ('70s/early '80s). 2. Sgt Pepper's ('70s - '80s). 3. The Stadium Club (late 80s/early 90s). 4. Crickets through the 2000s? *Some would say Pizza Villa through much of the above, but Villa is solid, not exceptional. 5. Possibly Zana's now?

I enjoy Sicelian pizza, my wife iffy about it, but we both strongly suggest more ingredients on it…read more A single piece of sausage on a slice, and other scant ingredients didn't cut it. Bread tasty, drink offerings good with beers, wines, cocktails and soft drinks. Server super good and helpful. Inside felt bare and dark- with poor lighting. We want you to make it- step it up please! Others I've about Zana's have similar comments.

I was looking for a new place to grab dinner, and this one caught my eye. Since I was in the area,…read moreI ordered and stopped in. First off, carry out only at this location. If you want to dine in, go to their Elburn location. I was looking for a pizza with everything - I got their healthy choice, and substituted sausage for the spinach, and then added pepperoni. Good choice! I was driving the pizza 30 minutes home, so I know it came right out of the oven steaming hot, and was reasonably hot after driving in my car for 30 minutes or so to get home. To be honest, the pizza was actually very good. The crust was good, there were plenty of toppings, and it had good sauce and lots of cheese. For price, you get what you pay for. This isn't one of those chain restaurants - it has people who hand make pies and do a good job of it. I was out the door for $31.50 for a large pizza. Is this place for you? Well, do you like good pizza? If you do, pay your money and enjoy some. Also, if you see someone go into the back door, you might see their Christopher Walken Cooler - complete with his picture on the door. The $3.50 brownies are also very good - pre-packaged, but ooooohhhh. Good!

We don't order pizza often but when we do, it's always from Dough Bros…read more And we're always been pleased.... Until last night. Very disappointed!!! I don't believe my order was complex but, I like my pizza the way I like it. I'm particular about it... I like extra sauce, easy cheese & well done. We ordered a 12" pick 5 While it had the toppings requested, I ALWAYS ask for extra sauce & it barely had any at all. Like literally NONE. Almost as if I said easy or no sauce- which my receipt shows I did not. It was extremely dry & flavorless as I also always request slightly well done. One piece for us both (in fact it was 2 bites for me) removed the toppings to see a couple specs of red & in the trash it went. Not sure what's going on in the unit at the end of the strip, but it was a madhouse & made parking a bit of a challenge... I probably would've opted for delivery had I known that. However!!! I WILL say the checkout/pick up process once made it in, was smooth, fast & the staff was friendly. You'll see by my reviews, I'm NOT a repeat constant bad reviewer. I personally always check out reviews before trying somewhere & when I see negative ones... I'll click on that person & when I see NOTHING but bad reviews- I take those reviews with a grain of salt because the person obviously is never happy & has nothing good to say about anything... I give praise when it's deserved but I also have to give a thumbs down also once in a while when it's deserved as well. Better luck next time I hope....‍

Italian beef baked fresh in a roll with a side of au jus and hot giardiniera. It's indulgent, buttery, cheesy, and the perfect item to share with a group. The wings and fries are nothing special, but always come crispy and are a reliable appetizer. Overall, this is a good place to come when out with friends, and a must try for anyone in DeKalb.

I know this says Vinny's " pizza " but pizza is not what this review is about. I've tried the pizza…read morethere and it's okay, nothing groundbreaking, but this review is actually about their chicken wings. Their Caribbean Jerk sauce for the wings is really good and would probably be my first recommendation with bbq being my second and mango habanero my third. Their blue cheese is actually pretty good and doesn't taste like conventional blue cheese( at least to me ) so don't be afraid to give it a shot if you're not usually a fan.

We recently held our son's rehearsal dinner here, and unfortunately, I was very disappointed with…read morehow our event was handled. I want to start with the positives: the food was excellent, and our server, Sam, and the bartender (I believe her name was Brooke) worked incredibly hard. They were pleasant, helpful, and truly did the best they could. My frustration is not with them at all--they were simply given far too much to handle. Neither was dedicated to our event. Sam was serving our party AND other customers in the restaurant, and the bartender was also responsible for our group and the rest of the restaurant. It took approximately 45 minutes for everyone at our rehearsal dinner to receive their first drink. The staff was stretched so thin that I found myself putting food out and bussing tables during my son's rehearsal dinner. When we arrived, there weren't even enough tables and chairs set up for our guests, so our family helped set those up as well. What was especially frustrating is that we paid an additional fee for an event coordinator, as well as a fee to use the space. I'm still unclear about what those fees actually provided. I would have expected an event coordinator to make sure the space was ready, adequate staff was scheduled, and the event ran smoothly. That was not our experience. I initially chose not to leave a public review because I wanted to give management the opportunity to address my concerns directly. I emailed them after the event explaining our experience and received no response. I resent the email twice and still received no acknowledgment or response. That lack of communication is ultimately what prompted me to share our experience publicly. Again, the food was excellent and Sam and Brooke deserve recognition for working so hard. But for a special event that included additional charges for the space and event coordination, I expected a much higher level of planning, staffing, service, and follow-up.
