    Wayne's has been our family "go to" pizza for over two decades. The thin crust pizza is excellent, but it's not cheap. Keep in mind, there are much better deep dish options like Lou Malnati's and Gino's East, but it is a very competitive thin crust pizza. Thin crust (4/5) is very good--cracker thin, but tasty. Sauce (4/5) is also good and sweet, just the way I like it. Cheese (4/5) is lean, but good. I prefer a bit more on mine. Toppings (5/5) are exceptional! We normally get pepperoni and onion. The onion is very thin cut--outstanding! They also have a very good gluten free crust--tastes like regular crust! Highly recommended.

    Place used to be very consistent. Not sure what has happened but this pizza was ordered this past Saturday well done. As you can see it's not even done and it looks like they may have added the spinach after the fact. I've honestly never seen such a poor attempt in 50 years. Will be going with JJ Twigs or Tortices going forward.

    Menu pricing

    I've been ordering from Wayne's for years. The quality hasn't been as good and they have significantly raised their prices. On the most recent order a 4 ingredient medium pizza and breaded mushrooms was almost $38. The mushrooms were $7 and there were only 8 mushrooms in the bag. Additionally they were skimpy on the sauce and the pizza was dry. The final kicker is the pricing on their website points to using their app to see the pricing. For which, it would have been $26. $11 less. I included a screen shot to show this. Not sure what has changed there but not the place I've known for over 20 years. Maybe it explains the drivers sitting around with nothing to do when I picked up the pizza. Unfortunately I will not be ordering again any time soon.

    The very best thin crust (don't call it tavern style). Worth the drive to Arlington, Heights.

    Wayne's consistently delivers the best pizza in the area. We love the double crust. It stands up well to toppings with no flop. Delicious.

    Sauce and crust are great. Crust is thin, but holds. I think cheese could be improved though.

So it was off our list for a while. We've now started eating at the bar, which gets us away from much of the noise, and the food and service are still excellent. Today two of us came for lunch; our server Clarissa was very attentive to my guest's need for a gluten-free meal, and also cheerfully got the pounding music turned down so we could hear each other talk. If only there was a way to address the noise issue overall, I would be happy to give this place five stars...!

    Flavors were good and the service was average…read more We ordered their "Our Chicken Parm" although the flavors were good, the plate did not have good temperature, there were parts of the chicken that were cold. It seemed like they had it made due to beating their top selling plate. The chicken had a rubbery feeling, for sure did not meet the hype. We ordered it and it was served very fast. In the other hand, their "Pesto Cavatappi" was served warmed and you could tell it was just made. The chicken on this dish tasted very good and the texture was very different from the Chicken Parm. I would recommend this dish instead of their number one as it was told to us by the server. We ordered two cappuccinos and their Flourless Chocolate Cake. Both cappuccinos were very milky and not warm enough. The dessert was really good but it also took a while to get it. We were half way done with our cappuccinos. Price - I feel they are priced too high for a chicken dish and pasta. Although it is a good portion it is still chicken and pasta. It was $31 for the chicken parm and $26 for the Cavatappi. The dessert was $12 It was a busy day but they should still keep their standards and serve food with the right temperature. I will give it another change for sure.

First point the waitress was very nice. First came The bread which was very good, then we ordered the mussels, average garlic sauce awful mussels, way too small And overcooked! You could barely see the mussels inside the shells. I ordered a Braciole and my wife ordered Veal Saltimbocca. We waited about 45 minutes for the food to come, my braciole was flavorless the stuffing didn't taste like anything the meat was tough and tasted boiled, the risotto underneath was Ok, only ate about 1/3 of the braciole, it truly awful. My wife's veal was inedible, very very tough, she couldn't barely cut it! The prosciutto on it was thick and overcooked, disgusting! We told the waitress who was sympathetic, said she would send the manager we never saw him instead she offered free dessert. Moral of the story! We left most of the food on the plates as it was inedible, worse $132.00 I have ever spent, we will not be back, I wouldn't feed that food to a dog!

We were so happy with our lunch experience. The food was better than other Italian restaurants we have ate at. Service was great. Full disclosure. It was a Saturday late lunch and the place was basically empty. Our server started us off with a small loaf of warm Italian bread. Dipping sauce was olive oil with spices and tomatoes. It was heavenly! My husband ordered the Vodka Rigatoni with small asparagus pieces. He said it was better tasting than my homemade Vodka Rigatoni! And he was right! I ordered the Eggplant Salad. What a showstopper it is! It tasted as good as.it looked. The fried eggplant was sliced thin, breaded and fried. The salad included mixed greens, mozzarella slices and tomatoes. Their prices are very reasonable. I urge everyone to go to Trezeros.

    Came here for dinner twice in one week and I don't have enough good things to say!…read more Food: We had the Caesar salad, Four cheese ravioli and rigatoni vodka. First off the portion size are very generous- one entree is large enough for 2 people for hard and in this day and age I truly commend the restaurant for doing this, it was noticed and def appreciated. The Caesar salad is truly such a classic salad, the oil dressing and grated cheese on top is perfectly balanced, it felt refreshing yet very savory as well. The rigatoni pasta was so so yummy. The orange sauce was very hearty. Last but not least the 4 cheese ravioli was W-O-W. I mean the consistency of the sauce just blew me away, and the pistachio pesto?! Genius. It was soo good I had to not lick the sauce off the plate (might still do for take out nights). Cant wait to come back and try more dishes! Service- Both times we made revelations on open table. We were seated very quickly. The waiters were very polite, gave great suggestions. Extra point for when we told them we were sharing, they made sure the dish was split onto two plates. Again, the effort and attention was really noticed and very admirable. Ambiance- It may be a chain but this place has such a classic Italian feel. From the decor the colors and even choices on the menu, very well thought out. The place is renovated and very clean and over ambiance is romantic. It def has more of an adult restaurant feel, as it's quite classy. Don't wait noisy kids to ruin the vibes. Great place for date night, girls night out, anniversary party etc. You guys blew me away. Can't wait to come back!

Despite having a reservation confirmed three weeks in advance and receiving a confirmation call that same morning, our party was not seated until 4:30 PM for a 4:00 PM booking. My husband and I checked in with the host starting at 3:55 PM, only to receive vague, dismissive responses like 'we're working on it.' Worse, the host displayed an unprofessional attitude, stating 'I have already told you in a few minutes' and was seen talking to other hosts about how upset our group was. When I finally spoke with a manager, Don M., his response was unsettling. Rather than apologizing for the 30-minute delay, he simply told me 'I am not kicking you out,' which felt incredibly unprofessional and dismissive for a milestone celebration. After we were seated, Don M. never returned to check on us or acknowledge the delay. Fortunately, Assistant Manager Luis Martinez and our servers, Marco and Georgina, completely saved the day. Luis came to our table to check on us personally, and Marco and Georgina were excellent, accommodating our large group's orders perfectly. If it weren't for their professional care, I would not return to this location." I truly hope that you consider looking into this matter as I have seen and witnessed how rude and unprofessional the host was yesterday not only to our party but to other guests checking in. It was a busy day for graduation parties and I just hope that they were all treated right. " Our Purpose is to bring people together to celebrate the love of family and friends", which is the main goal of this restaurant which I truly hope that you stand by with".
