    We've been ordering from Wayne's for at least 30 years. I don't know what happened but but on Saturday June 20th at around 9:15-9:30pm our pizza,the Wayne's special was delivered. Pictures speak for themselves

    Wayne's! Super clean!

    Wayne's is a classic Love the alley on the east side that you drive through to get to the back to pick up your pizza! Inside the place is impeccable!! Fast prompt service, friendly team as well. Pizza was very good bit prices have $$$ a bit. Ordered a medium for two of us and it could have fed 4!!!! I'll be back!

    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.

    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.

Also ordered an appetizer of fried calamari, sadly it wasn't the best, to soggy and not very flavorful. Tried an antipasto salad which was really good and a lot for a small salad.

Without considering price at all, this is one of the more convenient locations to dine if you're enjoying any type of entertainment or event in Arlington Heights. The interior is nice and cozy and service is friendly and efficient. On this last visit I tried the thin crust pepperoni and pan with sausage. I was happy with how generously the cheese was layered and how the tomato sauce wasn't too sour or acidic. The bready texture of the crust also matched the other textures of the ingredients nicely. The Western was the surprise of the meal, as the mix of herbs and bacon created a delicious flavor combination. Definitely a hit with everyone at the table. Overall, solid pizza spot to dine downtown Arlington Heights with big portions, fair prices, and pizzas that will satisfy friends and family.

    We had a really nice time last weekend at Bar Salotto. While they do not take reservations, we did…read morenot have a wait - and it was an enjoyable experience in the back room. We were able to snag a back table so not loud and we can hear the whole table. We started with the Hearts of Palm salad to share. It was perfect to share with three people as a starter and we all loved the lemon vinaigrette. For entrees - I got the thin crust Garden Pizza special - artichokes, pesto, pine nuts, other veggies. I thought it was delicious and it reheated very nicely the next day. Others at the table - got the salmon, sausage pizza and spicy vodka pasta. Everyone enjoyed. Our server (AJ) was fabulous and joked with the table - he made the experience enjoyable as well as the atmosphere of the restaurant. While we're not in Arlington Heights often, it is a place I would recommend.

    The evening began with the sort of optimism that has historically led men into bankruptcy, war, and…read moresecond marriages. The hostess appeared wearing a blue-and-white striped sweater hanging off one shoulder like she'd stepped out of an Italian perfume commercial. Around her neck was one of those little cornicello pepper necklaces, dangling just enough to suggest fate had finally decided to throw me a bone. Blue eyes. Not "blue." The kind of blue sailors used to abandon families over. She laughed at one of my jokes. That was all the encouragement my diseased brain required. I immediately conducted a full tactical assessment of the restaurant. The P.O.A. Index... ...was approaching DEFCON 1. Every direction I looked was another devastatingly attractive waitress carrying Aperol Spritzes with effortless confidence. It was like wandering into a government-funded supermodel relocation program. Then... A shadow fell across the table. A man. Our waiter was a man. Christ Almighty. The emotional whiplash nearly snapped my neck. It's like going to the zoo hoping to see lions and discovering the enclosure has been replaced with an accountant named Kevin. There are beautiful women everywhere, and somehow I'm discussing pasta recommendations with a guy who probably knows three different olive oils by taste. Cruel. Absolutely cruel. To his credit, the b@5tard was outstanding. Friendly. Fast. Knew the menu inside and out. Kept the drinks full. Never interrupted. The s.o.b. gave me absolutely nothing to complain about, which only deepened my resentment. The food, meanwhile, was infuriatingly good. The pizzas arrived looking like they'd been blessed by an Italian grandmother carrying unresolved anger from 1947. Thin crust. Fresh mozzarella. Just enough char to remind you that ovens are supposed to flirt with fire, not electricity. The pasta had that unmistakable handmade texture that makes Olive Garden feel like a felony. The cocktails disappeared with alarming speed. By my third Negroni, I was convinced I could hear Dean Martin narrating my life. Walking out, I glanced back toward the hostess one last time. She smiled. For approximately three seconds I considered abandoning my entire life to become a part-time sommelier with absolutely no qualifications. Then reality returned. The male waiter handed me the check. Four stars. The food was phenomenal. The cocktails were dangerous. The hostess should be classified as an Italian national treasure. And our waiter deserves a raise... despite committing the unforgivable crime of existing between me and the waitresses.
