Things get left out of order or even added (with charge of course) Last time I went they even repeated my order back to me and it was still wrong when I paid at the window. The pickles always taste slightly like chemicals & I've tried them on two separate occasions just to be sure. So weird...I truly don't even know how they create that flavor. My advice: don't get the pickles & double check your order before leaving.

Once the woman at the front was finished helping other customers, she didn't greet or acknowledge us--she simply said in a rude tone, "Sit wherever you want."

The waitress said she would bring the fifth as soon as it was done. It was pasta with two breadsticks. The four of us were done eating and the pasta meal was brought out 10 minutes later. We were done eating. I pointed out that one breadstick was very browned and hard. She should have never brought it like that. I ordered the coconut shrimp which was clearly from a frozen box. Butterflied with a coating of no coconut and very flattened. Not worth $23. I expected the pretty shrimp they advertise in their Facebook pictures when they have $1 shrimp days. Coated whole shrimp with coconut in the batter. Very disappointed in so many ways.

I had asked for plain penne pasta with a plain chicken breast on the side. Originally both came with sauce. I didn't send the chicken breast back because I didn't want to create more issues. But I did get the plain penne eventually, but it was mushy. Couldn't even finish it. I did take it to go just to be kind, but we threw it away. My family member ordered the salmon and he gave it a 7/10 but he did not touch the vegetables that came with it. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp Alfredo and said it was a 2/10. Ended up being quite sick that evening and we think it was bad shrimp. Spent about $63 and I did tip my normal generous amount as it is not necessarily the wait staff's fault that the food just isn't that good.

That being said, the pizzas with more toppings with a thicker cross seem to be really good. It's not the best pizza in the world, but really decent and the staff is always super friendly. Even on packed nights, they only have a couple servers, but the servers are fast. They really know how to hustle. It's pretty crowded in there on some nights places set up decently has a little stage in front in case they want to have a band. I like going there on Friday nights for karaoke. Just a heads up the place is super packed on a Friday evening, karaoke starts at seven and ends at 11. Everybody in their brother comes there for that to sing or just to sit and listen to other sing. The nice thing is is that since it is at a pizza place and it starts at seven anyone can sing, including children. The cutest youngest little girl I have seen sing did the K-pop demon hunters one of the songs from Matt and she was so adorable! Other kids have gotten up there and wow! They've blown me away with their voices and I feel funny going up there after them. There is a range of singers from new people that aren't the best at singing, but they love to sing and that's great! It takes a lot of courage to go up there. Everyone is super supportive and claps because like I said it's really hard to even go up there to even sing so the courage is really appreciated. It's such a friendly place and the owner is really nice and typically is working there too.

S & T Too is a spin off from S & T Provisions in Mount Greenwood (a neighborhood on the south side…read moreof Chicago). This outlet lacks the full service meat counter that I've enjoyed in Mount Greenwood, but they still offer high quality pizza setups, and a small number of related items. Important note: they sell the ingredients - you have to assemble the pizza and cook it. On November 18, 2022, I ordered their 12 inch sausage pizza setup which gave me enough ingredients for three 12 inch pizzas. (I also picked up a serving of Tiramisu out of their cooler). The total cost was $31.94, which included a small charge for my use of a credit card. That seemed like a great price for three pizzas plus a dessert treat. When I cooked the first pizza at home, I added some mushrooms and onions, so it took about five minutes longer than the suggested twenty minute cooking time. But it was WELL worth it. Best pizza that I've had in quite some time. I don't know how often I will buy the three-pizza setup, because it's just my wife and I at home. But I do intend to visit frequently to pick up ingredients for some great pizza. If only they picked a place with better parking... this location is right on the square, just south of the old court house, on the southwest corner of Joliet Street and Main Street. Like any business on the square, parking is a big problem. But it is worth the trip!
