I wanted to try a new spot for lunch today and Chicago Pizza and Pasta fit that description. I…read morebriefly scanned the menu online and I decided I wanted to do the side salad and a slice of pizza for lunch, so off I went to the restaurant to order and pick up my food. Pro Tip: If you order your food online you can save 10% :) I arrive and there was already a few people in front of me ordering pizza slices for lunch. You get that sense that a spot is good when lunch time is already buzzing with people. It was my turn to get order my food and the nice lady greeted me and asked what I'd like for lunch. I told her I wanted a slice of sausage and a side salad. In all my years of eating and ordering pizza slices for lunch I was never given the option of choosing which slice I wanted. This was a pleasant surprise and awesome of CPP to allow me to choose my own slice that I wanted from the warming oven! Between those two things, my order came to $8 and some change. With today's inflation and prices it's extremely difficult to get a good lunch for under $10 but with CCP's prices I was able to achieve this. Again, I was pleasantly surprised. I made my way back to the office with the salad and pizza and dug in. The salad was your standard side salad. It was fresh, cold, and crispy... no issues for me here. I destroyed that and then had some pizza which was still warm after eating my salad. The pizza was good and again no complaints here. So for my final thoughts on CPP, it's good and affordable food. If you're looking for a a place to grab a quick bite without breaking the bank then CPP is the restaurant for you. I'm glad I gave CPP a chance and now I will add them to my rotation of lunch places.

We just left Salerno's on the Fox a couple of hours ago, and I can confidently say this was our…read morefirst and last visit. We decided to give it a try because, for once, we figured we'd stay somewhat local instead of making our usual 45 minute drive into Chicago for dinner. Lesson learned. First, our waitress Jasmin was nice and did her job. I want to make that clear because the customer service issue at the end was not really with her. We ordered a small veggie pizza with sausage and pepperoni on HALF because my wife doesn't eat sausage or pepperoni. Pretty straightforward request. We were told about 25 minutes for the pizza. It was closer to 35, but honestly, no big deal. We ordered a Caesar salad, bread and a few beers while we waited. We also ordered the baked cavatelli to share. The pasta itself had a good texture, but the sauce was nothing special. I probably should have asked what exactly it was baked with because I wasn't expecting the runny ricotta that came with it. Eventually the pizza and pasta arrived together. Jasmin even pointed out the half of the pizza that supposedly didn't have meat. Plot twist: there was no meatless half. The entire pizza had sausage and pepperoni. We literally went through every slice looking for this mysterious vegetarian half. Apparently it existed only in spirit. The small pizza had six slices. I was hungry and had already waited 35 minutes, so I ate three slices, exactly half of the pizza. My wife ate the pasta because she couldn't eat her half of the pizza. I wasn't interested in sitting there hungry for another 35 minutes waiting for them to start over. We ordered everything to share, so at least one of us might as well eat the pizza. We told Jasmin, she agreed it was made incorrectly and said she would let the kitchen know. Rather than extending dinner another 35 minutes for Pizza Attempt #2, we asked for a small cheese pizza to go. We figured my wife could eat it when we got home and that would resolve the whole thing. Then the bill arrived. There was a charge for the cheese pizza. I told Jasmin I thought there must have been a misunderstanding because we assumed the cheese pizza was replacing the half of the original pizza my wife couldn't eat. She explained that management wouldn't do that because we had "clearly eaten" the other pizza. Well, yes. I ate three slices. Exactly half of a six slice pizza. The half that was supposed to have sausage and pepperoni in the first place. My wife's half was the half they got wrong. I jokingly told Jasmin that had I known the rules of this pizza negotiation beforehand, I would have gladly surrendered the remaining three slices and asked management to replace them with half a cheese pizza. Apparently I should have preserved the evidence. Jasmin told us that if it were up to her, she would have just given us the replacement pizza, but management made the decision not to. The best part? We never actually met a manager. Nobody came to our table. Nobody asked what happened. Nobody apologized. Nobody tried to fix it. Management apparently reviewed the Great Pizza Case of 2026 from an undisclosed location and determined that because I ate exactly my half of their incorrectly made pizza, my wife could either pay for another pizza or go without. We chose go without. We took the leftover pasta home, left the remaining half of the incorrect pizza sitting there and walked out without the cheese pizza. We still tipped Jasmin well because I'm not going to punish the waitress for a decision she didn't make. As for the food itself, the pizza was incredibly bland. The sauce had almost no flavor. We passed Pal Joey's, Riverview Pizza and Ella's on the way there, all places we've eaten at and enjoyed, and afterward we were wondering why we didn't just stop at one of them. I hate to say it, but Pizza Hut has more flavor in its sauce. Then, apparently determined to make one more bad decision tonight, I read the recent Yelp reviews AFTER dinner. Those probably should have been our warning not to step foot in the place. Mistakes happen. If they had made the pizza wrong, apologized and simply replaced the half my wife couldn't eat, I probably wouldn't even be writing this review two hours later. Instead, management somehow managed to turn three slices of a small pizza into the most memorable part of the evening. Unfortunately, the food wasn't nearly as memorable. This was our first and absolutely our last visit to Salerno's on the Fox. Between the bland food and management's handling of something that should have been incredibly easy to fix, there's no reason for us to ever come back. And just to be clear, I wouldn't eat here again even if management offered me a free cheese pizza. Although apparently that's not something I need to worry about.

Italian food is our most favorite cuisine. Many Italian restaurants are fancy high price place restaurants. We were excited to find a casual Italian restaurant where the emphasis is on serving delicious food rather than having a fancy setting. The fried zucchini with homemade ranch dressing was very good. Be sure to ask for additional parmesan cheese to sprinkle on it. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was very good. I had the Buratta salad with red pepper strips and balsamic glaze. I would order this again. One minor point. The salad greens were about 50% spinach leaves and then the other 50% was mixed lettuce. For me, that was too much spinach. Their balsamic dressing was perfect for this salad. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant. I would come here very.often.

Half-price pizza on Monday/Tuesday, and $3 draft beers--including Penrose Goofy Boots? Are you kidding me? Thank you, sir, may I have another! We sat next to the bar, which has a lot of potential. I noticed the owner/manager reads/responds to reviews, so I wanted to offer a few observations. These aren't complaints--just constructive feedback from someone who would love to see this place become even better. The TVs are well placed and are a great addition, but they should all be showing different programming. Two were playing the same event, and another was displaying a message that it needed an update. Staff should be trained to notice things like that. Once we pointed it out, someone updated it right away. The streaming music was excellent--10 out of 10 for my taste--but turning the volume up just a notch would really help energize the atmosphere. I also love having the digital jukebox as an option. The bar itself could use a little more personality. Some accent lighting, historic photos of the area, or sports memorabilia would make it feel warmer and give it more character. The servers were friendly, but they should check in with guests more often to ask if anyone needs another drink, a refill, or anything else. Not only does that create a better customer experience, but it also naturally increases sales and tips. Great servers do more than take orders--they smile, engage with customers, crack the occasional joke, and help create a fun atmosphere. Those little interactions are often what turn first-time visitors into regulars. It appears you currently only have a beer and wine license, and that's perfectly fine. Even without a full bar, this space has tremendous potential. With a few small improvements to the atmosphere and service, I think the bar could become a destination all by itself. Overall, the pizza and beer prices alone are enough to bring me back, and I hope this feedback helps because I'd really like to see this place succeed. Cheers!

This time, my husband and I decided to have a dinner date and actually dine in at the St. Charles location for the 1st time, which gave us the perfect opportunity to try a few new things along with some of our favorites. We started with the Italian Farm Salad to share and a bowl of Tuscan White Bean Soup. Such a nice touch that they split the salad onto two separate plates for us without us even having to do it ourselves. The salad was fresh and bright, and the soup was so warm, flavorful, and comforting. Our server, Izzy, was absolutely the BEST! She was so sweet, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. I wanted the Chicken Parmesan but asked if I could substitute the marinara with Bolognese for an upcharge while still getting the marinara on the side. OMG... I think I found my new favorite dish! It was SO good. I might just have to call it the "Izzy Chicken Parm" from now on because I'm not sure I'll ever be able to explain the order again and get it exactly the way Izzy put it in for me! My husband loves their Pasta Carbonara, so of course he had to stick with his usual. We also decided to try something new and ordered the wood-fired Prosciutto & Arugula pizza. After a few bites, we realized it just wasn't for us and seemed a little undercooked. We mentioned it to Izzy, and she couldn't have been nicer about it. She immediately offered to have a different pizza made for us and even offered to box up the first one for us to take home. We ended up switching to the Pear & Caramelized Onion pizza, which we've had before and already know we enjoy. So our dinner ended up being the perfect mix of trying something new and sticking with a few favorites. We absolutely love the food at GIA MIA, but Izzy's wonderful service made this visit especially memorable. We'll definitely be back for another dinner date--and we'll absolutely continue ordering delivery too! And Izzy, if you see this... I'll be back for my "Izzy Chicken Parm!" :-)
