Union Squared in Evanston has been on my must try places for at least a year. I finally decided to…read morecheck it off my list and the pizza was meh. I ordered The Godfather pizza which was $32. You don't get to choose a size but the pizza can accommodate at least 3-4 people. I opted for delivery and the pizza arrived in great shape. The pizza looked nice but it was extremely dry and lacked flavor. I've had Detroit style pizza in Detroit many times and this wasn't it. The pizza can be best described as a breadstick with meat sprinkled on top. I tried to eat the leftovers the next day and ended up throwing out the rest of the pizza. It's rare for me not to finish pizza so Union Squared in Evanston is a giant no.

They lacked depth and flavor. the pasta and fries were good, especially the aioli that came with the fries! I wanted the rigatoni pasta but they were unable to take the pancetta out to make it vegetarian. The price wasn't worth the quality and flavor of the food but I enjoyed the mocktail!

They have a selection of pizza styles, New Haven, East coast, Chicago thin and deep dish and Neapolitan. We ordered the side salad and cream of chicken soup and the 14" Chicago thin crust. Had the sausage, pepperoni and 1/2 olive and 1/2 anchovies. The sad and soup came quickly. Both were fresh and the salad dressing as well. I agree with the old recommendations on the soup. The pizza was huge and crispy. Lots of fresh tomato sauce and stringy cheese. They have a bar with an okay wine list. But we ordered sodas. The staff and service were super friendly and helpful. They have a huge menu and we'll be back again.

Great food, great service, better people!…read more Ordered a heat shaped pizza and heart cakes for Valentine's Day dinner with the family as we do every year. Driver arrived promptly with not only our food but an additional pizza. Driver tells me the owner (Lenny) remembered our conversation from 5 years ago regarding the Grandmas pie not being the same as years past in not a good way. Let me know then the recipe changed causing a change in the dough so stopped ordering this specific pizza. He sent the pizza for me/us to try again as the recipe has been changed back to before and it was absolutely fantastic!! Will definitely get back to ordering on a regular basis. Talk about knowing your customers and excellent customer service. Will continue to always be a customer. Please support a great local business that knows its customers. Than you Lenny for the pizza!

Pros: - Quality ingredients…read more- Great crust Cons: - We ordered pizza ahead of time, and it arrived 30 minutes before the time we selected. This was an issue as the pizza was ordered for a work event. Therefore, the pizza had to sit out before everyone was ready to eat. - We selected the "cut" option for all the pizza, and none were cut! - We ordered a sausage pizza and there was no sausage on it, only cheese! Overall: 3/5 stars, quality control is lacking at Pizza by Sal.

The rigatoni was super creamy and loaded with flavor, the arancini were perfectly crispy with that soft, cheesy center, and the calamari was light, not greasy at all (which is rare). Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. Service was smooth, portions were generous, and the overall vibe was casual but solid. Definitely a go-to if you're in the area and craving Italian. Would I come back? Absolutely

The pasta was excellent, and while the cone was a fun novelty for three minutes, I missed my plate. I'd just get the plate. The Caesar was nice as well, but we had asked to split it and they charged $1 to do so. This is one of the first places I've noticed do this, so if you plan to go halfsies on a salad, I'd just order it and separate it yourself. Or just fight over it with your forks- that's probably more fun.

From Italian Classic to "Budget Fillers" Most people think…read moreof that scene in Ratatouille where the food transports the critic back to a beautiful childhood memory. If I ate this today as a kid, that memory wouldn't be of the food--it would be of a spanking. I used to swear by this place in college. It was the gold standard for a good, affordable meal with real heart. But lately, it's clear that profitability is the new priority. They've swapped high-quality ingredients for "cheap" fillers, leaving the dishes feeling hollow. The Technical Breakdown: * The "Watery" Problem: Does the kitchen not own a colander? The dishes are swimming in excess moisture, which kills the integrity of the meal. * The Sauce: It used to be the soul of the plate; now it feels like a rushed accident. * Not So Pro Tip for the Kitchen: If you want to save the dish, cook the last few minutes of the pasta IN the sauce. It's a basic fundamental that seems to have been lost in the pursuit of the bottom line. It's a bummer because this place used to be so intentional. Now, it's just basic. Unless you're looking for a plate of lackluster pasta and budget-friendly veggies, you're better off looking elsewhere.
