I have been an ambassador of Grassano's Oak Lawn since the first day I had it in spring 2003. Would bring groups there (when the dine in was still open) from over an hour south just to get their stuffed/deep dish. This is quite unfortunate, as we drove from New Lenox to try this place. This is just sad, change your hours or ensure you staff the place. There is literally no one here and their phones aren't forwarded. We won't be promoting this place to our friends that loved Oak Lawn.

We decided to try a new pizza place instead of our usuals. After checking out the menu we were…read moreintrigued by what I call the speciality pizzas. For example, I have ordered the Chicken Ricotta and Taco pizza and both were delicious. My son ordered the Chix Bacon Ranch and loves it, so he refuses to try anything else. I LOVE that the vegetables, especially mushrooms, are fresh! Canned mushrooms are completely different than fresh and I feel they should be an option but not the ONLY one. I especially like the online menu and how to select what we wanted. I have never seen options on how the crust should be cooked for example well done, or if ingredients should be light or extra. These customizations are really appreciated! The appetizer choices are more than the typical fried vegetables or mozzarella sticks. The Rueben Egg Roll appetizer is an example and could also be considered a meal. I tried them to see if the corned beef was good. Since it was, I will be ordering the Ruben pizza next and then the Big Mac Daddy. I look forward to trying the pastas and sandwiches next. In addition there are dessert choices if we want something sweet. Each time we ordered, our pizza was delivered quicker than we were told which is always nice. Sammy's is definitely a place we will add to our "usuals" list!

This rating is based on the fettuccine (penne) Alfredo with breaded chicken. It was $19 which was…read morequite a bit of money for what I received. When I opened the container I immediately noticed the majority of the pasta was dry (other than butter/oil) and the Alfredo sauce was only on the top noodles. Upon tasting the sauce I knew it was not homemade and tasted like jarred grocery store sauce. The breaded chicken was clearly processed because they were the same shape and not a breast of white meat chicken. Unfortunately, I was unable to eat what was basically nothing like a typical Italian fettuccine Alfredo with breaded chicken. The texture of the chicken was weird and the sauce was bland. I normally would have just let it go but thinking of the cost I just couldn't. I called, spoke with a manager, and explained how dissatisfied I was. This manager explained that the breaded chicken was processed, premade, frozen, and then cooked. The Alfredo sauce was just a brand (maybe Stouffer's?) name jarred sauce. The manager clarified that the grilled chicken was an actual breast of chicken cooked there and suggested that option. I suggested that the menu should clarify what kind of chicken was available and/or the person taking the order should ask if a premade chicken patty or a breast of grilled chicken was wanted. The description given implies both options are a boneless breast of chicken instead of a chicken patty. I was really surprised at the mediocre meal because I have ordered from numerous Aurelio locations for decades and didn't have the same results. It's possible that the company has made changes to the menu or this location has a different product than others. One week later I ordered the baked chicken tetrazzini from Nancy's and it was delicious. The difference between these two options was incredible. One was basically a frozen meal and the other was like a freshly made meal from a restaurant.

Service is nice but also very slow. Expect to wait an hour for a pizza that is on the same level as a frozen pizza. I felt like the crust was slightly undercooked as well as an overseasoning of sauce and Italian seasoning on top. Also shelling out 20-30 bucks for a medium-large pizza. Just a place that I dont think I'll come back to when I come back to visit family.

Monical's Pizza: A Timeless Favorite in Kentland For over 30 years, Monical's Pizza has been my go-to spot, and every visit feels like coming home. Recently, on a spontaneous trip down to Evansville, we made a pit stop at this gem nestled along Highway 41. Known for their signature thin-crust and deep-dish pizzas, Monical's also boasts a homemade sauce for dipping that's simply extraordinary. What sets Monical's apart is their commitment to quality and speed. Within 15-20 minutes of placing our order, our pizzas arrived piping hot and fresh. The thin crust here is legendary--crispy like a cracker with every bite, yet somehow light and perfectly balanced with the toppings. There's absolutely no flop, just a satisfying crunch that melts in your mouth alongside the gooey cheese and savory toppings. Located in the heart of Kentland, this cozy family-owned restaurant is a true hidden gem. Despite its small-town charm, Monical's is big on flavor and hospitality. The service is top-notch, with attentive staff who make you feel right at home. The restaurant itself is newly renovated, boasting a clean and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for families and pizza aficionados alike. Monical's attention to detail extends to every corner, from the spotless restrooms to the welcoming dining area. It's clear they take pride in maintaining a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience for every guest. If you find yourself traveling along Highway 41, whether heading north or south, do yourself a favor and stop by Monical's Pizza in Kentland. Whether you opt for a whole pie or a slice with a refreshing Coke, you're in for a treat. This place isn't just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey through small-town Indiana, nestled in the beauty of its cornfields. read more

There was an adequate amount of toppings, light sauce (the way I like it), and yummy crust. The Spinach Mozzi was a first time try. It was delicious.

The employees were not only surly, but outright rude to both my husband and I. When my husband asked one of them what specific ingredients were in the 'Vegetarian' calzone, the employee smirked and said: "Vegetables". Neither of our slices or our breadsticks were even vaguely warm. The cheese on my pizza wasn't even melted, but still in a half-cooked, gelatinous form. Yuck. I think for $8 per person, our food should have been hot. You buy a slice of pizza, you expect it to be at least a little hotter than lukewarm. "Fresh Italian Cooking", my a**. Since we don't eat at Sbarro often, we didn't know sauce for our breadstick was extra, and neither of the two model employees informed us of this. When I paid for our meals, the cashier literally shoved the change into my hand, slammed the register and hollered "Next!" in my face. They might have conned us out of a couple of bucks, but it'll be the last money this Sbarro gets out of me or my husband ever again, and I'll be telling EVERYONE I know how abysmal this location is. Never, ever, EVER again.
