Disclaimer: this visit was on Mother's Day so we understood that it would be crowded with longer wait time. First time in restaurant. The tables are packed claustrophobic tight. Or table was smack up against the side of the salad bar. I was afraid my hair would get in the lettuce. Every time someone walked past our table they bumped into the chairs. Payment is No cards, cash/check only and this info is NOT published anywhere but on a notecard taped to the cash register which was blocked from view as we were seated. Not on the door, not on the website. I see it's here in the comments on Yelp, but I had poor signal and didn't do a review search, just looked at the website. Poor treatment by owners - attitude was not "I'm sorry for your poor experience" but "I'm sorry you're complaining, get lost." Carry out orders and friends and locals seemed to receive priority service. Mediocre, overpriced food. "Baked" pasta dish was runny, mozzarella barely melted, meat sauce with barely any meat, way too sweet. Garlic bread with very little garlic. Pizza crust was hard, flavorless, over cooked on edges. Sauce (to me) has a weird chemical-like taste. Toppings were not fresh, mushrooms were canned, pizza was under cooked in the middle. Wait time - it was one hour until someone told us it was ready to come out in a couple of minutes..... then it actually was another 30 minutes or more later, during which the waiter avoided us like the plague until we flagged him down and asked when our food would be out, then another ten minutes after that. After reading reviews, it would seem that the time deception is a sanctioned tactic. Finally, after going to the car, retrieving an old checkbook, and writing a check with a generous tip in spite of the deficiencies, we politely expressed that they should publish their payment policy and how wait time was misrepresented. Received a very curt response. Left an honest comment on the community fb page and was threatened, cursed, and called every name in the book by most of the friendly "locals." But hey, social media, right? The rudeness on a busy day could have been easier to forgive if everything else had been five star, but the food really isn't worth the price and the wait. And jeez, Monticello....I'm afraid to drive through town, much less eat at this restaurant again.

The ingredients were fresh. For the kids that didn't want pizza, we ordered a hamburger and spaghetti with meatball. No complaints from the kids. They loved their food. The fries were delicious too! Definitely a place to stop when in Pontiac.

We decided to sit outside on the patio, because it was a beautiful evening. We started with drinks and the cheese bread with marinara for the appetizer. We later placed a food order and decided to try a variety of things since it was our first time. We ordered pepperoni rolls, a thin crust create your own pizza with pepperoni, onion, and bell peppers, and a hand tossed Italian beef pizza. After a significant amount of time the waitress returned to check on us and let us know the pizzas would be out soon, so we asked her about the appetizer. She admitted that she forgot to put it in. She asked if we still wanted it, which we did, and so she said it would be 8 minutes in the oven. The food all came out within the next 10 minutes or so (minus the appetizer), and we dove in. It was all very good and we were happy with the options we chose. The waitress returned once we were finished eating and we asked for boxes and the check. The appetizer still hadn't came out. She apologized again and asked if we just wanted it boxed up to go, to which we said yes. Several minutes later a manager showed up and told us again, that there was a miscommunication and the appetizer was never made and yet to be placed in the oven. At this point, we asked it to be canceled and just asked for boxes and the check. Things happen, and the way they responded to the mistake is the reason I am still giving them 4 stars. They reduced our bill significantly and offered us a coupon for a free pizza on the next visit as a way to make things right. The waitress was great and the manager was very professional. We will give them another try next time we are in town.

We saw a handful of fast food joints and were going to settle on one before I said, "hey, let's check this place out and just take a little break from driving." We stopped in Dwight Pizza and were pleasantly surprised. The food: The Italian beef/sausage combo was out of this world. The sausage was packed with flavor and the Italian beef was delicious. Everything was even better being dipped in au jus. We also split a pizza that came piping hot and loaded with cheese and toppings. The atmosphere: The atmosphere is a no frills diner small town diner feel, but a great place to stop for lunch or dinner with kids. AND I got to watch The Godfather during lunch! :) I loved seeing the owner's memorabilia from his son's successes over the years. Undoubtedly a VERY proud father and it's touches like that, which make family owned/small town places special. The owner: He didn't say he was the owner, but as a business owner, myself, you can tell. He was awesome. Very friendly and it didn't feel like you were stopping by his restaurant, but stopping by his home for a home cooked dinner. He started by asking us if we wanted to have the best Italian beef sandwich or best pizza we'd ever had, so we naturally said, "Both!" We will definitely make a point to stop in on our trips back to Michigan. Three Floyds and Schoops are our "heading down" stops and Dwight Pizza will be our "heading up" stop.

Prefaced with I've never been to Illinois till earlier this week, ergo unaware of quality and what restaurants people will keep going through patronage, I have spent the last few days checking out restaurants on Yelp. Noticed this was a surprisingly highly rated spot, even though the photos didn't look that great. Through ordering online , placed an order for a small pan pizza , not realizing (isn't listed on their website) that adding any toppings is 1.25$ more each; like a 23$ small pizza. It appears the pizza had its toppings put after the sauce, and cheese on top, leaving an unsatisfying appearance and feeling I would've needed to order "extra cheese" to get a normal pizza. The exterior of the crust was hard, like baked too high of a temp for too long, and crunched like a cracker with the dough being dense and flavorless. The "beef roll" appeared to be their small dough folded over into a 12"x8" rectangle and cut into 1"x3" long pieces , and dusted with an Italian seasoning. Thin shaved beef inside, opted for pepperoni in it too. It was alright, again the crust put me off, the au jous that comes with it was watery and bland, and for 20.50$, felt like an overpay. Personally I like getting boneless wings with pizza, so opted for a dozen of those for us. Limited flavors , went with "hot", which was no hotter than Franks red hot. If they were fried, they steamed inside their foil and styrofoam container, and were received soggy and soft. Nothing noteworthy on taste or experience there.. beyond the 16.75$ charge, making each quarter-sized piece like 1.40$ each All in all impression: overpriced. I wouldn't go back, and if this is the best rated pizza in town, think I won't be going out for pizza around here the duration of my trip, least it be overpriced for mediocre food again.

I think they closed, we both got food poisoning. Won't let me leave NO STARS, or I would.read more
