    What is this?   Maybe an American Sicilian?   Get a serving spoon to fill your mouth with the mismatch of textures/flavors.
    Michael L.

    Please revise your Sicilian pizza recipe. It looked like a veggie pizza slapped together with a meat supreme pizza. I spent $47 bucks and went to bed hungry because the pizza looks like garbage and tastes worse. The only person that earned their keep was the delivery driver who got 20%. I wanted a pizza with heavy tomato sauce, light fresh cheese, and fresh basil. Won't be buying again. Figure it out or don't.

    Thin crust Uncle Richie pizza

    If you are someone who thinks Chicago pizza is deep dish, move along. If you are someone who KNOWS Chicago pizza is south side thin crust tavern style, get yourself over to Rich's immediately. We ordered the Uncle Richie (sausage, pepperoni, and banana peppers) and also a plain cheese because I like to judge a new pizza place on crust/sauce/cheese only too. This pizza is literal perfection: crispy thin crust, the exact right amount of cheese that's carmelized and brown at the edges, and sauce that isn't too sweet. The bottom crust has all those special little black pan crumbs we all know and love. This pizza gives you that 80s dark paneled bar filled with cigarette smoke homey feeling, and will make you crave a cold draft beer served by a raspy voiced grandma behind the bar calling you honey and refilling the little wooden bowl of peanuts. Rich's is takeout only, and they have a really good app and website that makes ordering super easy.

    We came for dinner today around 530 and were the only people in the restaurant besides one man at the bar. The bartender didn't get off her stool to greet us and told us we could sit anywhere. We chose our seat and we were greeted promptly by the waitress. We tried to look over the beer menu but she didn't give us time and hovered. I also didn't get offered a second drink because she didn't come back. We ordered the bruschetta which left much to be desired. It was basically a chopped up tomato with shredded cheese on some bread. Half the ingredients were missing. The pizza was really good. It says on the menu that they cook the pizzas well done and we even requested it be well done. It was not well done. The ingredients were fresh and the sauce was good. It had a thinner crust which I love. We will be back for the pizza but won't order an appetizer.

Darla's claims to be a deli and gaming parlor, but they got rid of a lot of the menu since the last time. Has actual beers and a few premade cookies and stuff to choose from. There's also a few healthy options. A little place on the end of a strip mall. It doesn't look like much, and it isn't really. The inside has a few slots and tables. Also they have a few beers. It's about $2 for bottles of domestics. They have the usual stuff like Miller Lite. As for the food, it made changes to the menu about what is available. It's gotten rid of all the sandwiches, including the Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich. That sucks. It's about $2 for a bag of chips. There's not much in the way of food except some cookies and pastries. Cool place to have some beers and get food. It's unique from most delis because this has slots, so it's also a gaming parlor. The food menu is limited because there's no more of typical deli things, such as sandwiches.

Pro Tip: If you are worried about crowds, call to order ahead and pick up items easily.

    Not good. Not good. Not good. Regrettably ordered two "made to order" sandwiches from their deli…read morecounter. Both sucked BIG TIME. First sandwich was a custom sub sandwich of turkey, Genoa salami, and rosemary ham with cheese, tomatoes, vinegar/oil, and Italian spices. How a sandwich could taste funny is beyond me, but it did. The meat tasted old and was flavorless. It was pre-cut, not freshly cut meat, so who knows how long it had been sitting out in the counter. The bread was stale, could have broke windows with it. They barely put any meat on it (not that I would have wanted more), the sandwich was all bread. No Italian herbs on sandwich. And the icing on the cake, instead of putting a nice, fresh vinegar and oil/sub oil on the sandwich, I was given a two ounce little package of some generic vinegar and oil that was pre-fabricated by some wholesale company, which also tasted really off. The second regrettable purchase was an Italian sausage sandwich. That too was horrendous. The sausage itself had a funny, off taste, not a nice blend of seasonings. And not that I would have wanted more, but the Italian sausage was old and shriveled, so it was like a child-size portion. I asked for some red sauce on the side, let's just say Ragu would have been better, and that's not saying much. To add further insult to injury, the bun was stale. Also got some Nutella butter cookies that they farm in from D'Amatos that is in the city. I have been in D'Amatos and I love their cookies. With that said, these D'Amato cookies were stale/also tasted off. The tip-off should have been the fact that they must have had fifty or more packaged D'Amatos cookies on their shelf. They are bumping $10.00 for around maybe 12 cookies, so they obviously don't sell all that quickly, turn stale, and there you have it. Also weird vibe in there. The employees (including the Rubino son who is always in the deli area) are not friendly at all. I might be a little bit more forgiving if the employees/owner were nice but they are just really indifferent and very unfriendly (especially the owner). Very unfortunate. Sandwiches from Subway would have been better.

I originally learned of this place when I worked in Tinley Park a couple years ago and drove all the way from Chicago today to go there to treat myself. As usual, I was greeted with kindness by Chris, who was working the register at the time. The ambience is surreal, it provides a quiet place to enjoy your food, read, work or if you need to just reflect on life. This is one of my favorites and although they're not close to Chicago, it's worth the drive! I was a little disappointed that they no longer have my avocado rolls. I really enjoyed those but everything is still good. I wish I could get more vegan options on the menu but overall, Avocado Theory is a 12 out of 10.
