Being new to the Lemont/ Lockport area and coming from the near west burbs, I'm looking to find a good pizza spot that isn't a chain. Nancy's is a consistently decent spot with a few caveats. But alas, a chain. Pizza at the Point.. bleh. Alright, onto the next joint. Tried this place out with my simple go-to topping duo-sausage/ onion. I do long-cut caramelized onions, and of course they couldn't accommodate. That's fine. Do you atleast just have long cut onion? No. Diced. Sigh... Expensive little pizza. Bitter sauce... or was it spoiling cheese? Either way, that was the over arching flavor profile--bitter. Microscopic onion bits. I thought the sausage was halfway decent. Wife felt it was dry. Ordered easy well, was announced as well done when I arrived to pickup, and was barely done. Sheesh. They couldn't even cover the entire pizza with cheese, as I had a washed out section with just sauce. "Well maybe it was a busy night and they were moving and shaking!" Nah. Dead Monday night, place was empty. They garnered a 2-star because their breaded mushroom app was pretty good. It honestly saved the evening, for me at least. But to put it in perspective and sum it up, my wife was coming home late and fiending for pizza. When we get a good pizza from somewhere, it's usually at least an 18" and it ends up demolished. This 16" thing was barely half eaten before everyone threw in the towel. The bitterness was overwhelming. Doughy and bitter tasting. I wasn't even going to leave a review but instead move on, but I combed through some of the reviews and quickly found somebody talking about the bitter flavor as well which prompted this. That's a wild flavor profile that you would never think to relate to pizza. Someone posted on a Lockport Facebook page asking what the best pizza spot was in the area. One of the commenters stated, "Doesn't exist." And I'm beginning to fear this is true. read more

I'm very disappointed this is the second time I ordered numerous occasions but for some reason these past couple of times they're weighing out the cheese and it doesn't go to the end of the crust so you order a 16-in and you're only getting 14 in of cheese terrible then I tried to order a barbecue slice chicken pizza soggy $7 worth of garbage .... I had a 20% coupon thank God because the previous order I ordered two cheese pizzas and again the cheese didn't go towards the crust it's terrible because it went from my favorite pizza too I'll never go back there ever again... Also I forgot to mention their sausages look like small meatballs not very appetizing read more

I have been thinking about this since our last visit on June 28th. We were a party of 8 and our reservations were for 11:30 am. There was no one else in the establishment however our service was horrible. All but one person ordered pizza for a total of 7. Some of the pizzas where cold. some undone and 1 never got her pizza until we were almost ready to leave. However your establishment charged us 25.00 to bring in cupcakes for a birthday. I was so embarrassed since I was the one that recommended Villa Nova. I have been going to Villa Nova since I was a kid. The one in Stickney was our hangout. Started going to the Villa Nova in Lockport and loved the small place. Since you have gotten bigger your perfection has gone down hill. I hope you can improve this situation. Sincerely, Linda read more

Ordered pizza to go and waited at the bar had a few drinks. First time ever here and the staff was friendly. They have a nice bar to sit at and a lot room in the dining area. When it warms up it's kinda cool they have the option for big garage doors to open on a side wall. We ordered two 12in thin crust pizzas. One was a veggie which was good the thin crust held up to all the toppings compared to other places. The beef and giardiniera was good but there really wasn't much beef or giardiniera on it which was little bit let down but maybe it was just a one time thing. Overall not to bad cool place pizza worth it read more

Cute ambiance. A lot of seating. Very loud with music and tvs. Indoor, outdoor and bar seating options. We got a Caesar salad, we asked for chicken and it didn't come with chicken, no problem though really. Massive portion, but without enough dressing. Pep and sausage pizza was thin with plentiful cheese, well done cook is way to go! Delicious. Buffalo chicken was ok. Service was ok. We had to ask for same thing multiple times and staff seemed new. read more

I want to start this review with saying, every single time I've had their food, it's been phenomenal. Great pizza, salads, and sandwiches. Anywhere they happen to be around town is great. 5 stars for their food. However, I've now dined-in at the new location 3 times in the last 6 months. Each time, the staggered food delivery has been all over the place and pretty frustrating. My first visit in June, 2 pizzas came out 15 minutes apart. The second time in August, pizzas were delivered 20 minutes before the sandwiches, and the 2 sandwiches were delivered 5 minutes apart. Last night, a salad entree was delivered with the appetizers, while sandwiches were later delivered...25 minutes before the pizza finally showed up! I've really never seen anything like it before. Each time, someone is either eating alone while the other person/people waits for their food. Or... they wait until the rest of the table is served and their food is cold. It makes for a frustrating group outing or date night. The first time I assumed it was working out the kinks of the new location. The second time I gave them the benefit of the doubt to an off night. But a third time, all being months apart, it seems to be an awful habit that really should be sorted out. Again, the food is always very much on par. The actual service has been fine. But the dine-in experience leaves a lot to be desired. Something needs to be sorted out in the kitchen. Eating TOGETHER as a group or with a date is kind of the whole point. I really hope someone reads this and it gets worked out. All the best! read more

Second time we ate here. Each time sat and waited for 20 minutes a server never approached us. The first time we said something and a server helped us right away. This is why we returned. The pizza is very good, which is what brings us back. But this time, we decided to leave without being served. Won't be going back!!!!! read more

Food is excellent. "The John" pizza is unbelievable. If you want a pizza with a kick and you like spicy food I highly recommend it. Staff is friendly and the owners are awesome! read more

First time at the new location and WOW! It's very nice and lots of space. We've been going around Lockport trying different places and pizzas and tonight we hit the jackpot!!!! We order a pizza that was absolutely amazing!!! Definitely coming back and highly recommend it. The service was great! From meeting John the owner to the young lady that made our pizza and the bartender that was very attentive and nice! read more

We had terrible service the first time we went but food was good so we tried it again. Service was nonexistent except for the kind busboy who brought us the pizza box to take our leftovers home. The waitress was not friendly, didn't ask if we needed anything, took forever to follow up after we were done. She brought a styrafoam container to take home almost a whole large pizza and we had to ask for check multiple times. We were one of 3 tables in the whole place that had people too so maybe carry out is the way to go. read more

Pizza and wings are awesome. Good service I have dined in and I have had food delivered. Always enjoyed. Keep up the good work guys.

First time at Villa Nova. We wanted to try the pizza which was really good. We like thin crust, tavern style which is what they serve. We would definitely go back for the pizza. The service was bad. Our waitress was taking care of several large groups on the patio, plus tables inside. We were sitting inside, so she barely came around. We wanted to order more drinks, but figured at this point it wasn't worth the wait! They sat an older couple (like us) in the same area inside next to us, and no one ever came to take their order. After about 20min they stood up and left. I could see the man complaining at the front desk, but I could tell that they really didn't care. Very bad! I would go back for the pizza, but would hesitate because of the service. read more

Service is outstanding from the Moment you walk in the door! Food was Hot & Delicious! Not just for Pizza! The Homemade Chicken Tenders are the BEST! They are marinated in Buttermilk and then Hand-Breaded to order! Salads are HUGE and very fresh! Give them a try and you wont be disappointed!! Great Job Villa Nova Pizza! Janet K.

We bought Villa Nova Pizza from the one in Stickney,il, for 20 years when we lived there. It was always great. When we found out about the one in Lockport,il. We couldn't wait to order. It was totally disappointing, nothing like the one in Stickney was. The sausage is different and the pizza sauce also. Only thing that was good was the cheese. Will never order from them again. Wonder if the Stickney restaurant has also changed, too bad if it did. read more

Another good place for pizza and Italian food such as pasta which is also cheap. It sounds like it has been a favorite around here for a long ass time and sure looks like it. Villa Nova is among the best places in Lockport. Pizza is what they're known for but they have lots of Italian classics on the menu to choose from. The prices are pretty good for the portions and quality. Because I was alone I wasn't going to eat a whole pizza so an alternative was pasta, which happens to be cheap. It's $6.99 for a regular. This includes choice of sauce and toppings. Certainly it was cheap for as much as they pack into a portion. The sauce was also tasty with some sweetness along with some tanginess. Of course the pizza looks good but it's kind of expensive. There's a few more economical options if you're looking for something for a few people or so. Also has delivery. It has a limited zone and so that can't be commented on but of course a delivery charge and tip is to be expected. This is why dining in or picking up is a pretty good idea especially for those on a budget and interior has some old school charm so you'll have to go there. read more

The food was mid level at best, pizza seemed burned slightly. There was some kid screaming behind a wall at a birthday party and then a balloon popped that scared everybody. Our waitress didn't mention the menu is being updated and just brought us whatever was on the new menu even if it wasn't what we asked for. She didn't even feel the need to explain why it was different till I asked. read more

Excellent pizza! Glad there's one near us now. Used to go to Sticknety but this is so much closer.

Pizza was really good! Restaurant was super smokey and hot especially on an incredibly warm evening. Very uncomfortable. I will stick to ordering as delivery. read more

First time the drinks were good and the place is very nice and big my bartender marifer was very kind .

The ambiance was good. The waiters were very kind, and along with taking food orders they made small talk. I was eating with a group of eight. We ordered a cheese, pepperoni, and sausage pizza which was more than enough to feed us all. The pepperonis were hidden under the cheese, however they were very crunchy and pleasant. They were also stacked so you could get three pepperonis all at once, which was nice. They had the football games playing to entertain the guests. I absolutely loved the decor of Villa Nova. The vibe was very modern and beautiful. The tables were clean when we came in, and looking at the outside there is a gorgeous front which gives fabulous atmosphere. The drinks were served with crushed ice that made it easier to drink because you didn't have to work your way around the large ice cubes. I would recommend Villa Nova Pizza to anyone looking for a good place to meet with family and friends while enjoying a slice of pizza. read more

Had a complete surprise today! It's a sad day when you call a restaurant, they take your order and you show up and they have no record of your ordering it! I had an extremely tight schedule today, so I phoned in the order and swung by to pick up the pizza and to my surprise they looked at me like I was the issue. Stating they had no orders, I dialed the phone number that I placed the order and was on the phone for almost 2 minutes, the phone rang. They offered to make a pizza real quick however, I did not have the time to sit there. They were my go to pizza place in Lockport and I will need to find a new place to get my Za read more

I have been coming here for years, I truly like their pizza their sausage is excellent Their green peppers are sliced, very thin just the way I like them, no matter what size pizza I get, though it's always, every single time soggy in the middle. tonight I came in for a tiramisu I was shocked at the price but I remembered they have excellent tiramisu so I ordered it anyway. I got home it was half frozen. It also was about half the size is it used to be, a very small piece for the exorbitant amount of money they charge for it. To make matters worse, several bites taste of garlic, that is one spice that should never, ever be in tiramisu. Sorry you just lost a customer.. read more

Would give it an 8.5 out of 10. It's strongest point is it's sausage which I would give a 9. Definitely would be worth trying; best I have tried in Lockport. read more

I went in to place an order to go and had a couple drinks while I was there. The drinks were fantastic but it was the waitress, the manager, and I think the owner(?) who really earned that 5 stars. Not only was the place very spacious and clean, it was very nicely decorated and they had the Cubs game playing, which is always nice. The owner(?) was very nice and I had a pleasant conversation with the manager and the server, which absolutely made my day. Got home to give my children the pizza I ordered for them and they loved it, no complaints all. I ordered a smash burger and it was definitely worth it. Not sure about the fries because I gave them to my youngest son but he didn't complain, he ate them all. This place will definitely see more of me and my money and I will definitely be recommending this place to my family and friends read more

We loved the Villa Nova in New Buffalo, Michigan. We ate there several times. We were hesitant on trying this Villa Nova in Lockport. We went there last weekend, and it's way better than the other Villa Nova. The pizza was amazing and the service was spot on. We can't wait to go back. The pizza has a unique taste and the garlic bread was perfect. Definitely recommend this place!!! read more

Look, this pizza did something to me. This pizza is SO flooking good!! I was upset that I had to share the half eaten large when i got home lol. Mama Mia - this is great pizza. My new favorite thin crust. I think at one point I was talking to the pizza and shaking my head because it was THAT delicious! Fingers burnt, crust and sauce all over my Jeep LOL - didn't care... It's everything great pizza should be. A simple sauce, yet tasty and just enough distribution. Great crust - I actually loved that it was a little soggy, and the subtle yeast flavor comes through so nicely. Fresh green pepper and onion. That cheese is money when its golden -- OMG this pizza!! I ordered mushroom, onion and green pepper. I wasn't a huge fan of mushrooms, so I took them off and put fresh basil on each slice - haha I had just bought a new basil plant so had plenty on hand. (Highly recommend fresh basil on pizza) This reminded me of the pizza I grew up with on the south side of Chicago, the stuff you can't find anymore. The staff was great, and everyone seemed happy to be working there. Absolutely Victorious Villa Nova! Y'all did a thing, I'm smitten! read more
