    A great Chicago chain with good food and a great atmosphere. The location rotates the fish in its tank and has a magician or balloon guy that comes in on Fridays for the kids. Apart from the pizza, the place serves great sandwiches and appetizers. I usually just get pepperoni but tried Pete's Favorite this time. It comes with has italian beef, green peppers, and jalapeños - great flavor combination and wasn't spicy. The place is clean and servers are friendly.

    I went on a Friday night with my wife and it was pretty crowded. I did call first, and the person I talked to said, come on in, with only two we'll get you seated right away. He did, so score a point for fast seating without a reservation. The place is lively, with TVs at just about every angle, so I got to see March Madness ( that's college basketball in case you don't follow sports). The menu is pretty big, so there is a lot to choose from. I got a 16" cheese/sausage pizza, and my wife got a chicken grill sandwich and a side of Vesuvio potatoes. The order didn't take long, and the server was very nice. I had a $40 certificate that I purchased from Clipp. She took the certificate right away. Now, the food...wife liked her sandwich. Big enough to take some home. My pizza was okay, but needed extra oregano on it. Good crust, good cheese, but the sauce was a tad weak. Hence, 4 outta 5 stars. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I will say the pizza tasted better the second day after being reheated in our air fryer. I will return and order something else from the menu and let my son eat the pizza (he really liked it).

    So good pizza pizza

    I love Paisans, the Dragon wings are ALWAYS a winner. The sweet and spicy, with the sauce to wing ratio is perfect. Also topped with green onions. Yummm. I do have to say, when it's really busy, service tends to suffer in the kitchen. The food times can get really long. Pizza is average to good. Caesar wrap is yummy, their crouton in there are light, buttery and crispy which is great for me, especially not liking super hard things to bite through. I'm bummed they no longer have their apple beggars purse because that was delightfully delicious, but they have many other housemate desserts!

    Sicilian Style Cheese Pizza
    Christina H.

    I'm not super picky with pizza but I recommend you skipping this Sicilian style pizza from Paisans. They are very skimpy with the toppings, the dough underneath is soggy, and the tomato sauce is overly sweet. I was hoping for some crunch in the crust but everything is one single texture- soft. The wings were ok- better than the pizza but under seasoned in my opinion and dripping in oil. Service is also very mid. There are way better Italian places around the area.

    Crazy bananas dessert

    The crazy bananas dessert is what I go for, it's nothing like I've ever tasted! And great service!

    Came for a car show. The pizza is AMAZING. The crust is a combo flour cheese and it is delicious. Order the Supercharged with caramelized crust. There are several locations so I hope to hit them all. Peetie is super nice. The staff is great too.

    Their new Supercharged pizza- to die for!!!

I think something they can do to minimize this is to have wait times for when your party can arrive or be more strict about how many people they let in at once. Things that are unique about this spot is the ambiance and the iron branch-like artwork on the walls and throughout the bar. It's a cool atmosphere when the lights are dimmed as they have fun colored up-lighting to set the mood. There's a little outdoor bar called "the shanty" and it is the best spot to be if you visit in the summer. The DJ is usually always spot on for the crowd; usually a mix of modern EDM and early 2000's hip hop throwbacks. The dance floor is small but was packed. There is a semi-private table area by the bar that you can reserve for a group party. If you ever are planning to come here for a birthday or any type of celebration I'd recommend you reserve this table/booth area so your group has a place to sit or at least stand. You also get a server assigned to your table! Like I mentioned, on a busy Friday or Saturday night, this place is packed shoulder to shoulder like a college bar. If that's the scene you're looking for, you're in the right spot! They should staff at least 6 bar tenders for the influx of people but they only have two or three tops. You can tell they are hardworking bartenders but it is impossible to serve that many people. The women's bathroom was rough. It's small and there's hardly any room to wait inside or outside the bathroom. Because the place is so crowded, I got bumped and spilled on multiple times just standing outside the bathroom door. The garbage was overflowing and something from the ceiling was dripping and of course landing on me. Maybe it was a rough night for them to keep up overall but this experience wasn't what I had in mind to help a dear friend celebrate her birthday.

    THE USUAL SUSPECTS…read more This dive bar in Lisle is a haven for townies, which is certainly a vibe. Maple Ave Pub is, unsurprisingly, on Maple Ave just west of Route 53 in the western suburbs of Chicago. I'd estimate I've stopped here close to a dozen times, although a handful of those instances I neglected to check-in on Yelp for fear of my wife seeing it ("I thought you were coming straight home from work....") An older woman's been behind the counter seemingly every time, taking drink orders and making small talk. She's friendly--​moreso with the locals than with me--​and I'll occasionally get called 'hun', 'sweetie', etc, which is endearing. I got way better service from the hot tattooed barkeeps at Brauer House in Lombard, however. To be perfectly honest, I've never eaten anything here. The wings look like they might pass muster, though there's a few items that raise an eyebrow (clam chowder at a dive bar? thanks, I'll pass). Possum Pub in Melrose Park had surprisingly good food, and it was a major dive, so perhaps I ought to give the grub here a shot sometime. They have several pool tables, a Big Buck Hunter, Golden Tee, dart board, boxing machine, and pair of pinball machines; as of 6/19/24 they've got a Star Trek premium (Stern, 20​13) and JAWS (Stern, 2024). In the past they had Oktoberfest (American Pinball, ​2018), Fish Tales (Williams, 1992), and a stunning Circus Voltaire (Bally, 1997). Last week, the A/C wasn't working so this place was SWELTERING on one of the hottest days of the year. Normally I stick around for a couple pints and 2-3 games of pinball, but it was so toasty inside (worse than outside) I only played 1 game and skipped the beer completely. There were no fans on, either. * TL;DR * Dive bars are all well and good, but maybe it's time I found a new spot to hit up for a cheap domestic pint. Over the years I've gotten a handful of looks that can be described as quizzical at best, and dirty at worst. I've been ignored by the bartender numerous times--with cash in hand, mind you--while she's chatting away with regulars, as I'm standing there absolutely parched. I want to like Maple Ave Pub, but the feeling doesn't seem mutual. If it weren't for the pinball tables, I probably wouldn't return.
