    Honestly, we review everywhere we eat and we never give it a 5. But AL's was absolutely different. The pizza was amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! Try it !!!! You won't regret!

    Al's Special Pizza

    Great sandwiches, Pizza is out of this world. The skinny kid behind the counter is really nice. The big guy that's there knows his food! Only way this place could be better is if it served doughnuts! Classic old school pizza place that updates what's needed, and doesn't touch what doesn't need to be. One of my top places!

    This pizza was delicious! The entire pizza was devoured by a family of 4 in less than half an hour. The crust was crispy. The sauce was flavorful and amazing. Because it's Chicago style, the toppings are under the cheese. This pizza was topped with onions, sausage, and mushrooms. The large pizza costs $25. I would definitely eat here again!

    Just stopping by to say that for 10 years your pizzas haven't changed. Still the best pizza in town! Thank you!

    I've ordered delivery from here twice now & I must say I enjoy this pie!!!! They're quick, friendly, & the pizza was delivered fresh & hot. If you call & order it's cheaper than ordering online from Grubhub their delivery service. Pricing is average I'd say, with a decent size and plenty ingredients. I do plan to order additional items in the future. Twice now the delivery guy has licked his finger to give me my change. GROSS!!!!!!

    I've been going to Al's Pizza in Norridge for as long as I can remember, and each and every time they always make me question why I ever get pizza anywhere else! Haha. I've eaten a lot of pizza, from the east coast to the west coast, and none are better than Al's. Grab some friends, get a pizza, and see for yourself! A++!!

    Very good thin crust pizza, in fact the best we've found in the area. Flavorful sauce, lots of toppings, and they deliver to Park Ridge.

My Anniversary is 12/01…read morebut unfortunately they are closed on Mondays so I made a reservation on Open Table for the next night. I book marked on Pasta D'Arte on Yelp. Sometimes when you bookmark a restaurant your expectations are sky high and sometimes they don't live up to your own delusional expectations. This was not the case w/Pasta D'Arte Trattoria. We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. The restaurant itself has a very nice ambiance w/a wine rack at the entrance. The restaurant itself has exposed brick walls mixed w/wood panels that have a nice rustic feel. Very nice relaxing ambiance w/an awesome, helpful friendly staff. During our meal they played easy listening like Frank Sinatra tunes. Ahhh but the reason for coming the food. When we came in Carlos our server brought us 2 glasses of champagne for our anniversary, very nice. We had bread on the table w/olive oil & Parmesan cheese. We ordered some fried calamari as our appetizers w/a delicious red sauce sprinkled w/red pepper flakes for a little spice. My wife ordered the Sacchetti Al Porcini which was delicious w/porcini & ricotta stuffed pasta sacks served in a butternut/parmesan sauce w/sautéed mushrooms, leeks & butternut squash. Absolutely delicious!!! I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese Carlos & his partner (her name started w/an M?). I'm sorry I can't remember both provided excellent service & made the whole evening very enjoyable. Thanks to both of you & the staff @ Pasta D'Arte for an excellent evening.

Service was not great as we had to ask for the waitress twice to order and to get water and bread refills. Still the waitress knew the menu and specials well and was professional. We got complimentary water, warm bread, olive oil and grated parmesan cheese (probably from a food service as it sat on the table in a ramekin). We shared a glass of house Chianti and fried calamari. I got Tagliolini Neri Fra Diavola and she got Fettucine alla Panna. The wine tasted cheap, calamari was mediocre and the pastas were good, but far from excellent; better than Olive Garden but comparable to Romano's Macaroni Grill. For the prices it should have been much better. The dining room where we sat was clean and attractive but getting worn. The men's room about the same as the dining room. All in all it was a pleasant evening but not the quality experience that other reviews suggested. The restaurant is clearly resting on their reputation and needs a big refresh. For 1 glass of house wine, a shared appetizer and 2 pastas plus tax and tip we spent $140. It was worth about half of that.

Despite being regulars at many local establishments and arriving well-dressed, we were met with an immediate sense of exclusion. After being seated and receiving bread, we were completely ignored for over twenty minutes. The restaurant was not crowded, and we watched as servers consistently attended to the other three tables while failing to even offer us drinks. The disparity in service was so blatant that it felt as though we were unwelcome due to our background. After waiting an additional five minutes without any acknowledgement, we chose to walk out. We did not receive an apology or any intervention from the staff upon our departure. It is deeply troubling to be treated this way.
