First off, I did not expect much coming from Rochelle. While reviewing the different restaurants…read morethis town had to offer the majority looked dismal at best. I literally tossed a coin on coming here. When calling the restaurant the young gal who answered the phone - you could tell she really loved her job. She enjoyed explaining what dishes were the best. I ordered a medium pizza with sausage, onion and mushrooms, as well as the beer nuggets (because so many people raved about them). I've worked in a dozen or so pizza joints and have eaten a lot of pizzas in my time. But Alfano's pizza offered something uniquely different that after the first bite I realized this was a great choice of a restaurant. The sauce. The sauce. The sauce. I had never tasted anything in the world of pizza that left me so speechless. It was light and had a sweetness to it. The crust was rich in texture, buttery taste to it and simply great. The ingredients were fresh. You get alot of pizza for your dough, no pun intended! The garlic nuggets were a great addition and a must have when I return. Overall there are alot of reasons to drive out of your way to check this place out.

Food was filling but unremarkable. The server got our order wrong twice. Ordered a bottle of…read morewine, she brought 2 glasses of wine. Then brought an opened bottle that obviously had some wine poured out of it. I ordered Chicken Parmigiana with Mostaccioli and got Spaghetti.

We dropped in for a new place - and figured we'd try this one. It's a block east of Remington's…read moreGastropub (tough spot). We called slightly ahead (between Rochelle and Creston) after a crushing day of work in the backyard. I was hoping for some beer. Nope. All non-alcoholic. In fact, I had to go outside to get 2 cans of pop, and the pop machine kept 50 cents (refused to either dispense or refund - WTH?) Anyway, we ordered their Home Made Breadsticks. Tip 1: You get a SMALL pizza worth of breadsticks. We got the red sauce and the butter sauce. Both were good. We ordered a large pizza and got a special - each topping costs $1.70 extra, but it was worth it. The pizza came out hot straight from the oven. When we picked up the box later, the table was steaming - it was that hot. The pizza was pretty good - good sauce, fresh toppings. Good stuff. They have RC products in 2 liter bottles. No alcohol. Carry out and self serve - you order / pay at the counter, and then they bring it out to you. Get your own plastic plates and plasticware and napkins. You'll need napkins.

Open for lunch Tuesday-Friday from 11:30-2 and dinner Tuesday - Saturday from 4-9 and Sundays 4-7…read morethey really do have some of the best thin crust pizza in area. The prices are as TP put it, very reasonable. We typically get a large carryout, two-topping pizza and are out the door for under $16. They are heavy on the cheese and I don't know exactly what their cheese blend is, but it is wonderful! They have a wide range of options for your standard types of toppings we typically get pepperoni and green olive, and it is so good I usually regret it since I end up eating too much of the delicious goodness. Besides pizza they have Scala's Italian Beef, and Vienna Beef - Chicago Style hot dogs, as well as pizza by the slice. When we talk about reasonable prices it's $3.50 for a very large slice of pizza and 12oz can of pop or $2.50 for the Chicago Style hotdog with all of the trimmings. I had the Italian beef the other day with hot peppers & mozzarella... awesome! They are off the beaten path so you really do need to look for them around the corner from downtown Malta at 307 E. Adams St. They have two different dining room areas, so I'd imagine they'd be a good place to gather a group as well. Definitely worth the stop if you are even close to being in the area!

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....‍

There's so much to love about Bootleggers…read more Their pizza is amazing. I'm (mostly) vegetarian and the server recommended their pizza, even though their kitchen was closed. They home-make pizza and freeze some to be available when pizza isn't happening. When the server said "frozen pizza," I wasn't super excited but it was the best cheese pizza! They let me know that you can always call ahead for them to make or keep a specific pizza to buy frozen for carryout or when the pizza kitchen is closed. Occasionally I'll be naughty and get a burger there cause they're just so good. They (almost always) season their burgers really well so it's super flavorful. Their appetizers are fun and unexpected as well. The staff is usually really chill. Donna, the owner, is the sweetest thing ever, and her husband is super sweet and fun but with some rough edges. I admit that the interior could really use a tune up but all their food and hospitality certainly make up for it.

The pizza was cooked around the crust but the center was not cooked. Mushrooms are from a can and toppings were only in the middle. We gave it a try, but I won't be going back.
