Go to the bar to get any beverages you want, including any soda or water. Wait to be called. Go up, get food, sit down. Wish you maybe went somewhere else. It was very busy when we got there, so that last one might just be me, lol. As a former New Yorker I have to say...the pizza....if you like eating cardboard covered in cheese this is your place. The baked mostaccioli was decent enough, but topped with enough cheese to give you the cheese sweats. It is very much 70's vibes. We were number 120. After them calling 126 a half dozen times I told my husband he better check to make sure that wasn't us...it was. ‍ I thought it looked very clear. Oh well. The pizza was gross. Pasta was kind of good. Overall would not go back unless I was with someone who insisted. I'd try the chicken parm next time, someone a table over had it and it looked good (I do bet there was a lot of cheese on that too). The place pretty much emptied out in the time it took me to get through my cheese so I was able to get some decent interior pictures. Also this is the menu with current (may 2026) prices.

The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly the entire time. They made thoughtful recommendations, and we were able to try a nice variety of dishes. Even the kids enjoyed their pastas, which says a lot. Honestly, what more could I ask for? This meal felt like a total success in every way. We'll definitely be back soon.

We stopped in for Restaurant Week after having tried Napolita's Wilmette location in the past…read more Napolita's restaurant week deals are a great value. The portions served are full portions even though the menu is prix fixe. We enjoyed the $45 menu option. We chose the burrata and calamari appetizers. Both were good although the breading on the calamari needed more seasoning. For main courses my husband ordered the gnocchi and I had a pizza. The gnocchi were very pillowy. The pizza was good but too many vegetables made the under crust soft requiring cutlery to eat it. We finished with the cannoli dessert option. The cannoli was good but the ricotta tasted like plain ricotta. The service was attentive and friendly and the dining room has a casual vibe. We enjoyed our meal and will return especially in warmer weather when I believe they have outdoor seating.

My home base Lou's is the Buffalo Grove location and all I order there is the deep dish. I've only had the thin crust from this location. And the thin crust is always delicious and flavorful! I've never had a greasy slice of pizza and the crackery-crust is consistent and makes everyone happy!! If I want to get pizza in Northbrook, Lou's is where I go!

My family has dined here twice now and enjoyed both meals thoroughly. A full bar is stocked, and I've enjoyed a strong lemon drop martini here, as well as a glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. Dining area has about 18 tables, so it feels very intimate and cozy. The menu is posted on a large whiteboard and can change frequently. Favorites we've tried are the ravioli (filled with spinach, mushroom, whatever is offered) and chicken picatta. We don't leave with any leftovers. Entrees can range from $25-60 at moderate portion sizes, so it is a spendy meal but worth every penny. Warm bread and butter are served before dinner and the fried calamari is a crispy appetizer that hits the spot. To touch on post dinner... save room because that butter cake is one of our favorite desserts anywhere!! It is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, served with gelato on top/side, whipped cream, and caramel and toasted pecans on our latest visit. Because there is no dessert menu (just what the waitstaff verbally tells you), here's what I can recall from it on our last visit last month: carrot cake, tiramisu, gelato, Oreo cake, banana chocolate chip cake, butter cake. Skip the Oreo cake. It tastes just like chocolate cake (a tasty one with a lovely crumb, just not reminiscent of Oreo at all) with a scoop of chocolate gelato on the side. Can't wait to return!

I'll start with a confession: I don't even like Italian food. And yet, this little hole-in-the-wall…read morehas earned a spot in my top five restaurants of all time. That alone should tell you how special it is. The Food: No matter what you order, it's consistently excellent. The artichokes are addictive--I could eat them nonstop. The branzino is perfection, cooked to a level that makes you forget every other fish you've ever had. The Atmosphere: Small, cozy, and charming. They've done a remarkable job maximizing the space without losing that intimate feel. It's the kind of place that feels like a secret you're lucky to know about. The Downside: They don't take reservations, which means the wait can be frustrating. Timing your visit is a bit of a gamble, but honestly, the food makes it worth it. The Service: Exactly what you'd expect from a team that's been doing this for decades--steady, reliable, no frills. The real highlight is the owner, who personally greets every table to make sure you're enjoying yourself. That kind of hospitality is rare and unforgettable. Final Verdict: Even if Italian food isn't your thing, this place will win you over. It's authentic, welcoming, and downright delicious. A true neighborhood treasure.

Cheese had a nice pull crust was ok my first time ordering from Pieros. I guess they are more known for deep dish. My thin crust was decent. Not sure if I'd order again. When we have Lou Malnatia deep dish around I'd prefer Lou's pizza to just about any other deep dish pieros sauce was ok but kinda bland as was the crust. And sausage they chop up the mushrooms but they were fresh not canned which was a plus. Having worked in many pizza restaurants I do prefer fresh vegetables and not canned mushrooms so that was a plus. Decent cheese and sausage was pretty good. And Fairly plentiful it looked good tasted ok. Overall a decent pizza. I just moved to the area. My cousin who lives close to here said the pizza was only ok and he was correct only ok. Worth a try I guess. Large thin 2 topping was around $35. So reasonable price for a decent thin pizza. Worth a try if you're hungry. Way better than than a chain id am say. 8/10 probably. So give Pieros a try you won't be disappointed. Enjoy folks.
