    Vinny's Special
    Tishawn W.

    I had the Vinny's special light sauce light dipped hot peppers it's homemade & the meatballs are just rite. It's not your Portillo's commercial style Italian beef... this authentic I give it a 8 1/2 - 9

    Took quite a while for Rachel's to open, and so far the wait seems to be worth it. The sandwiches are authentic Italian through and through and I like the side dishes as well. I wish the menu was a bit broader though. And the pizza slices are really nothing special. I appreciate that Rachel's is a new business without video gaming - a real problem in Berwyn these days. If they make it, I predict Rachel's will have a bright future keeping the Italian tradition alive on Roosevelt Road. But some menu innovation will be needed.

    Went in about 3pm the place was not busy at the time. I ordered a 9in Italian Sub because what else do you order at a Italian deli? Bread had a soft crunch and the ingredients were fresh and plentiful. This place gives you that Little Italy/Taylor Street feel with a food quality to match. I attached photos of the sandwich and menu

    Sausage slice
    Caroline W.

    After watching this place sit there on Roosevelt forever with a 'opening soon' sign, this place is FINALLY open. Today I ordered a slice of sausage pizza, which also comes with a pop $5.50. Good deal. The pizza was very flavorful and the crust is quite thin, flatbread like, with a good crunch. The lady who took my order was pleasant and I think the owner was there, he thanked me for my business. I will definitely be back to try a sandwich.

    American sub

    Top notch place with old school neighborhood joint feeling and customer service. Subs, pizza, and pasta salads are great! Also reasonable prices. Highly recommend

    Chicken Panini. Chicken was dry.

    Something changed after the last 5 months. Not what it use to be. Sandwiches not as generous and lacking flavor.

    I was pleased to find that Waldo Cooney's Pizza was listed on Uber Eats after it was recommended to…read moreme by Elizabeth C, a yelper out of Berwyn Illinois, who shared a big slice of their pizza, and review! Along with that endorsement, its 4.6-star rating out of 700+ via Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience. Looking through the menu, I took an interest in items like the Cheese Thin Crust Pizza (10" Small), Cheese Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza (10" Small), Vegetarian Pizza, Cheese Calzone, ravioli, Spaghetti, Gourmet Cheesecake, Chee-Zee Garlic Bread, and French Fries. Out of all that caught my eye, I ended up ordering their Cheese Thin Crust Pizza (10" Small) with pineapple as my topping after contemplating on spinach. Whether it be Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. By the time I arrived at Waldo Cooney's, the employee was finishing up with my order during this ordering experience. Picking up was just confirming my name, ordering platform, and I was well on my way back to my residence. I am grateful to have had a smooth online ordering experience because the likelihood of me ordering online again is very high. For your information, Waldo Cooney's sits along a busy Cermak Rd, which you will have to keep an eye out for as you are driving up to the storefront. It can easily be missed if you are focused on the fast flow of the traffic on Cermak Rd. And keep in mind you will have to pick the right timing when pulling out your vehicle while leaving because those incoming vehicles on Cermak Rd are something else. As for my order, my mouth salivated prior to my first bite of the Cheese Thin Crust Pizza I ordered. It was presented perfectly, with pineapples infused in with the cheese, and cut into small squares. Very satisfying taste! If you have never had the addition of pineapples on your pizza, then you have no clue what you are missing. Out of my favorite pizza restaurants within a radius, I can see myself ordering from Waldo Cooney's again while in the area because it sure was satisfying. In closing, I had a great ordering experience as I have indicated in this review of Waldo Cooney's Pizza. And as it was recommended to me by Elizabeth C, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all on yelp. Service: 5 | Ambiance: 5 | Food: 5 | Overall: 5 ~Keep it simple. ~ Thomas G

I loved that they had a small outdoor patio to enjoy the weather and be connected with the busy downtown. Their menu had starters, pastas, pizzas, and entrees in a curated format. They serve wine and beer regularly but have a rotating specials menu for cocktails and food. Our server let us know that the bruschetta rotates weekly which is cool. For mains, I got the Ricotta Gnocchi. All of that pastas are clearly homemade. The gnocchi was certainly pillowy and paired nicely with the creamy truffle sauce. My husband got the Orecchiette pasta which could have had a more prominent sauce to it. Overall, the pasta was fresh and ingredients tasted of good quality. The portions for price point seemed a little off as dishes didn't come with a bread basket nor side salad. I wish we would have gotten either a bit more pasta or something else to make the price feel of value. Either way, this was a nice spot to enjoy good company at. Our server, Nina, could not have been nicer and more attentive to our group.
