    Half sausage & half pepperoni (ordered well done)
    Matt R.

    This place is a go-to spot to pick up pizza whenever I am visiting my dad in the area. Some of the best thin crust pizza I've had. I also ordered their beef sandwich and that was good too. Beef had nice flavor and was sliced super thin.

    Great pizza. Very small, but it wasn't very crowded. Broccoli cheese puffs were a great start. Highly recommend the creamy garlic salad dressing. Two of us could only eat half of the pizza, so plenty of leftovers. Pepsi products to drink.

    St. Christopher - Italian beef, pepperoni, mozzarella, ricotta, and giardiniera peppers.
    Chris C.

    Definitely good pizza. Nice menu with a wide variety of choices among pizza, sandwiches, burgers, and Italian plates. I almost got the baked lasagna, which sounded amazing, but really wanted to try the pizza. I ordered the St. Christopher, which has Italian beef, pepperoni, mozzarella and ricotta. It was very good, and I got about 3/4 of a 12" pie down by myself with little problem. The only issue is the pizza also has giardiniera peppers on it, and they really make the pizza pop. If you don't like spicy stuff, you had best order the pizza minus the peppers. They offer thin crust, pan and stuffed. The one I got was thin crust. Not your typical Chicagoland choice, and if you're expecting Giordano's or Lou Malnati's, I don't know that this place does pizza like that. Who knows, they might. As for atmosphere, this is a typical family owned, small shop. Plenty of seating later in the evening. They seem to do a lot of carryout business. I sat down and pretty quickly got the feeling the place doesn't really do a lot of table service, although a server did eventually come out. But I think this is more of an order-at-the-counter kind of joint, which is fine. I hope the place thrives and continues to be around a long while. I enjoyed it and would like to come back and try other menu items.

    This is one of our go to pizza spots. We always get the 18 inch sausage pizza. The crust, sauce, and sausage on their pizza is absolutely delicious! They have a nice dining room with booths and tables. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The food quality is great and prices are fair. We would definitely Michael Anthony's!

    I usually love this place! Everything is so delicious. Ordered for delivery and I found so many hairs on my garlic bread it was not edible, half of them even buried in. Gross gross.

    Pepperoni Pizza

    Staff was very friendly. Pizza was great, wish the sauce had a bit more flavor. The garlic bread was very average/crunchy.

The price point was on the high side for us but not out-of-reach. We arrived and was immediately sat in the bar; in fact, everyone is sat in the bar. The dining room has about twenty tables, and they were two tables being used; the bar also had about twenty tables and every table was sat. I asked the waiter and they do sit the bar area first and overflow into the dining room. With the bar area at near capacity and all hard surfaces it was very loud. The dining room had carpet floor and a coffered beamed ceiling it was tremendously quiet. If you want the energy of a crowded restaurant the bar is great, the dinning rom is a more upscale experience.  We started with Calamari Friiti, that is the title of the dish. In smaller print the description is Crispy Fried Calamari, Zucchini,  and herbs. What was served was 70% NOT Calamari but thin fried zucchini strips, fried rosemary (literally the twig of rosemary in batter and fried), and fried thyme (the thyme was removed from the twig so I could not even find it., but the waiter said it was there. At $19  expected more Calamari at least 60%, after all the dish was not called "fried herbs and Calamari". Our table had Spaghetti and Meatballs at $24, the Stuffed Pork Chop special (with Broccoli Rabe) at $27, and I had the Eggplant Parmigiana at $20. I get eggplant Parmesan a lot, it is my favorite Italian dish. $20 is high for eggplant Parmesan, I prefer my eggplant thinly sliced and fried. This is more three eggplant steaks with cheese and red gravy. Not my personal favorite but good. The pasta was so unusual I had to ask about it; the waiter said it is made from scratch in house but the shape in an Italian grocery store would be casarecce. I thought $24 for Spaghetti and Meatballs high but my husband said the Meatballs were excellent. Finally, $27 for one Stuffed Pork Chop also seemed high but it tasted great, the garlic white wine sauce made a tasty glaze. We ordered Tiramisu for the table and one person got the blueberry sorbet. I found the Tiramisu traditional and another person thought the mascarpone cheese was whipped too much. I read a several reviews, most of the reviewers praised the service as outstanding; we found our server disappearing for 30 - 40 minutes; we had to call someone over to order desert and another to get the check.

The tomato sauce was flavorful, and the shaved Parmesan and arugula complemented the dish beautifully. Unfortunately, the arancini themselves were disappointing, as the coating was much too thick compared to the small amount of rice filling inside. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken was unfortunately very dry and overly salted. I chose the pappardelle with short rib ragù. The fresh pasta was excellent--perfectly made with a wonderful texture--but the ragù was also overly salted, which overshadowed what could have been a great dish. One of the highlights of our evening was the service. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The hostess, who may have been the owner, also stopped by our table to check on us, which we appreciated. Overall, this certainly wasn't the worst Italian restaurant we've visited, and there were several things we enjoyed. However, the entrées ultimately fell short of our expectations, especially for a special dinner.
