    Sausage thin crust pizza
    Rosa F.

    The thin crust pizza is good and the sausage taste flavored well seasoned. The ambiance is nice not so loud music isn't as loud and we can hear ourself talk. The fries are really good! Jaime attended us. There should be more servers though.

    Good extremely thing crust pizza and $4 Yuengling on tap. Also Monday is half price pizza day. Great pizza and fair prices, if you're in the area it's worth a stop.

    From the outside it looks like a rough place, but it's not quite as bad inside. It's a local place for sure but they're friendly to most people. Waterworks is a bar and pizza place in Lyons in a pretty nondescript part of town. Coming to drink and eat here is the only reason to be in this area. The prices are great on drinks and okay for food and pizza. Actually this bar recently had a big renovation because of a fire. It looks much more modern than it used to be, so that's what helps it look better inside. The bar is the main part, and there's plenty of tables. Can still get very crowded. This place is hella loud to be sure. Great drink prices. It was $2 for wells. Got to think it must have been a mistake. Oh well, there's no complaints about that. As for the food, not that impressive but okay for a bar. It's $8 for a plate of some spaghetti. Basic looking. The service is pretty slow, understandable because this is a busy place. Also it's hard to hear. This makes it hard to properly get orders. Good enough for a bar. It's better than it looks from the outside. The drinks are the best things, and there's also pizza and spaghetti.

    Fantastic food and amazing space! Catering and pizza are delicious!

    This is 8 times out of 10 the best pizza around. Lacks perfect consistency but when they get it right, look out, because it's fire.

Posto 31 is located in Lagrange Park which is just slightly outside and west of the city. Their restaurant week deal is $45 per person for dinner and every adult in the party is required to participate. We tried the following: 1) Pork belly with a brown butter sweet potato mash and apple slaw - This was a delicious and refreshing appetizer. The fat isn't excessive and there is a good sear with the pork belly. I think it was different in a sense that it didn't exactly go with the Italian theme. 2) Arancini with chicken, parmesan, mozzarella, and marinara. This is the standard fare and you can't go wrong with this selection. 3) Faroe Island salmon with squash puree and Brussel sprout slaw. The salmon was well executed and I loved how it was paired with the slaw. 4) Arrabbiata with squid ink linguini and jumbo shrimp. This was the star of the night and what drew our attention when we first reviewed the restaurant week menu. It is rare to find squid ink linguini in the city and neighboring suburbs. The portion was huge and the flavors were absolutely delicious. We are already planning a return to order this again. 5) Tiramisu was the standard fare and once again, the portion was huge. We demolished it though. 6) Cookie skillet had a square of chocolate chip cookie topped with candied pretzels, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream. We did not get to try it because our girls just took it to town. So needless to say, it was thoroughly enjoyed. We also ordered the kids' an eight inch pepperoni pizza. It was more than enough for our two girls to share.

    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

The guava cheesecake was excellent , and I would recommend that anybody get that, if available. The seafood platter was good, but not great. Some of it was a little overcooked and hard to chew. I was told that this is a destination restaurant, however , it's not a destination restaurant for us. I would not go back there again, because of the the lousy service we had.
