Each element of the plate was great, good tenderloin, lightly battered, crispy fries, and outstanding cheese sauce. They were very busy with the local crowd, including a couple of tables of card players. Just one employee and a cook holding down the fort, but they managed well. Wish I knew what was in that cheese sauce.

Full disclosure before we start: we went to Nancy's with friends of more than twenty years, and…read morewhenever you bring excellent company to a restaurant, the restaurant gets an unfair advantage on the review. That's the case here. Nancy's sits at the halfway point between our respective homes, which is the first thing it has going for it. The second thing is bigger: this is authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza in Southern Illinois, right off I-55, about an hour from St. Louis. Let's get the pizza snob argument out of the way. Giordano's, Pizzeria Uno, Lou Malnati's, Nancy's, everyone in Chicago has a hill they'll die on, and the snobs can have their way. I'm not rating this place on whether it has the best deep dish in the world. I'm rating it on a simpler question: is this a place you'd go out of your way for? Yes. If my appetite is calling for real Chicago deep dish, I'd drive the hour. Would I go twice in one day? Not possible. Two large slices of this pizza and your body files a formal objection to a second visit. The pizza itself is a bouncer. The room has a modern, franchise-feel look to it, clean and comfortable, with a small bar. I had the Cowboy Margarita, which is the first margarita I've ever had rimmed with sugar instead of salt. Tequila and rum together, sweet enough that it's really more of a cotton candy take on a margarita. Cowgirl Margarita might be the more honest name. Not my usual lane, but I finished it, happily. We started with two orders of loaded waffle fries, one with parmesan, ranch and bacon, one with pesto. This is junk-food-forward bar food and it does the trick. Both were solid, neither is the reason you make the drive. Middle of the road for loaded fries. But the pizza holds up. Nice flaky pie crust on the outside, doughy underneath, and a heavy casserole interior of cheese, meats and sauce, which is exactly what some pizza snobs will point at when they tell you Chicago deep dish isn't a pizza at all, it's a casserole with a crust. Fine. Call it what you want. Is it my favorite pizza? Probably not. Does it deliver on exactly what I came for? Absolutely. Service was fine, and I'll leave it there. We were a party of nine, and I couldn't tell from our server's disposition whether we were putting her out or she simply had other places to be. She was a bit particular, and it never felt especially warm. In fairness, we were so wrapped up in our own conversation that a more attentive server might have been a distraction. But you notice when the warmth isn't there, and it wasn't. We'd go back. This is the kind of restaurant you can rely on: it'll be there, it'll be consistent, and it'll deliver the thing it promises. 4.0 out of 5 stars. Genuine warmth from the service, add a solid old fashioned or straight forward classic cocktail to the mix and this place moves closer to a 5. If Nancy's Pizzeria were a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: it's Sam Wilson, The Falcon, in the years before he picked up the shield. Dependable, strong, always shows up when you need him, does the job without much drama. Not the headliner yet, and maybe never needs to be. But you'd never leave him off the team.

We went on 5 June...we were in our hotel still, awaiting household shipment. It was raining very hard but we had read about Gianni's and wanted to give it a shot. We were greeted by the owner, and had a great conversation with her while we waited for the food. It was like catching up with an old friend. She was warm, kind and delightful. We felt like we were visiting a home, the decorations were clean and elegant. I look forward to getting back over for a sit down. I had lasagna, and my wife had pasta Alfredo. Both meals came with a pretty big salad, and bread sticks. The dressing was fantastic, I think a simple oil & vinegar based with a great herb note to it. Both pasta dishes were excellent, a good healthy portion (I was stuffed but ate every bite of everything because it was good.

After about six months in the area, I have struggled to find restaurants here that I like, and have found several that I am utterly shocked are open and allowed to serve food to people, and that people actually pay money for this food. It's uncanny. I spent some time cooking in commercial kitchens, and know it's a tough business, but Gianni's is doing it right. We order through the "Slice" App. My family has ordered from Gianni's four or five times and have been amazed every time. The Pizza is just right and I am making my way through their sandwich selection, and have yet to be disappointed. In fact, I am going to order one right now. No joke.

We ordered in (it appears most of their business is take-out/delivery) and were warned that our Sicilian-style stuffed crust pizza would take a little extra time, which was fine, we weren't in a hurry.

About 40 minutes later we got our pizza, which was amazing. It was loaded with cheese and toppings - after a piece of the 10" I was already feeling full!
