Veggie pizza: spinach, peppers, and onion.
Zoe V.

My favorite food truck in CU. I haven't had a bad pizza yet. They come to Downtown Champaign on occasion and the line gets long quickly--and for good reason! They are able to quickly make their delicious pizzas and they're consistently tasty. I have tried the Red Dragon a couple of times; great for those who only want mild spice from pepperoni and onion. My husband took the Dragon Fire pizza challenge--it is spicy to the max. I have also gotten a custom veggie pizza with spinach, peppers, and onion, and was very pleased. Even though the crust is thin, it holds up well with multiple toppings. I like folding the slices in half, NYC style, to get all the good stuff in one bite. Courteous, fast, professional, and tasty pizza to go for $10? Yes, please.

ERMAGERD PIZZA. Yeah, so now that I said that.... This was a random last minute early lunch choice and dang... just....dang. So first of all the owner is super friendly with his customers. This dude obviously has a sense of humor and likes his job. I got a Gold Dragon and it was amazing. I went to Italy and I feel like a crust snob. It needs to be crunchy and chewy at the same time for me to really love it. Dragon Fire Pizza nailed it. (Yeah for you!) The pizza size is just enough to look like you can't eat it all, but then somehow you magically can. Boom! It's just gone. So needless to say, I ate the whole thing myself. It was hot, it was fresh, it was flavorful and it was pizza. Do I really need to say more? Like the owner said "What American doesn't like pizza" Just go. And don't plan to share.

I went to the Tuesday night farmer's market downtown Champaign and saw the Dragon Fire Pizza food truck. I heard about it and have seen my friends eat some of their pizza. So I decided to give it a try. They have seven specialty pizzas that already have toppings picked out. There is also the option of creating your own pizza. I ordered the Margherita pizza and a Red Dragon pizza. While I was waiting for the pizzas to come out of the oven, I asked the workers about how they make the pizzas and what was unique about them. They make the pizzas "neopoliton" style which refers to the way Italians make their pizza. The dough is hand-tossed and the pizza is baked in a ceramic oven. The workers were really friendly and helpful in choosing a pizza that I would like. We took the pizza home, which was about 15 minutes away. The pizza was still warm, but not as warm as it would have been when coming out of the oven. In my experience, I would take my pizza and eat it as soon as it was ready. Dragon Fire pizzas are not like regular American pizza's because the crust isn't seasoned and there isn't an overload of cheese. It is an acquired taste that I would recommend delving into.

Classic dragon. Aka margherita pizza.

It was ok. I think maybe I had super high expectations... I'll definitely try it again. Lots of other people clearly love it and the staff was friendly. I had a classic dragon/margherita pizza. That's a go-to pizza for me, so I've had lots of others to compare it to. I know some people do red sauce like these guys did, but I prefer the olive oil/no sauce version. (That's how I had it in Italy, so to me that's how I always want it.) I just thought this kinda lacked flavor. There wasn't nearly enough basil for my tastes either.

Find this truck and order 2 pies. One for now and one for later. Best pizza in Champaign or Savoy. You're eating a fresh hot crispy pizza within 5 minutes of ordering. I took 2 to go as kind of a take and bake. He even left it little light so when I reheated it later, per his directions, it came out great.

One of my favorite food trucks in town. Pizza is fast and delicious. Great ingredients and friendly service. I always hit them up at Tryptich and the Farmers Market, but always use their locator during the week! You never know when they'll be nearby. I always go for the Dragon Fire with Ghost Pepper, because I love that next day burn.

Jalapeno, red onion and pepperoni!

The staff was so accommodating and helpful; I had never thrown a party myself before and they made everything a breeze. Super well organized, such a fun space, and people are still raving about the food! Our server was attentive the whole time and did a great job, which is not easy with a group of that size. I absolutely recommend Paisan's for everything from a date night out to a family party. This place has you covered!

We decided to come here since the food at the Brookfield location was solid. The service was like…read moremeh. Our server Victor was gone half the time. However, when I asked for a water refill or a new plate, he got it. I would say average but not above average service. We ordered dragon fries, baked ziti, and supreme pizza with the caramelized crust. Overall this is like a 3. 3 for me is a one and done. I wanted to try a new pizza place but this was a disappointment. -dragon fries 5 - this was good. The sauce is tangy with some spice. It's not super spicy but this would go well on wings. -baked ziti 2 - I had a lot of pasta and this one was one of the worst. The noodles tasted a bit too rubbery, it should be softer. The sauce had no flavor. -supreme pizza 3 - maybe I should have gotten the tavern style because the supercharged pizza tasted doughy and kind of bland. I even reheated it on my pizza stone at home and it does taste better with a crispier crust. However, it was still mid.

My favorite Italian spot in Naperville! Definitely check it out if you're in the area. We came for…read moredinner, and there's both outdoor seating and a ginormous interior with plenty of tables. It's definitely a good spot for larger groups. Our server was also super knowledgeable about the menu and walked us through which pastas and pizzas were the most popular, which ones were seasonal, and which ones get rotated out. I really appreciated the recommendations because there were so many things I wanted to try. We ordered: - Short rib gnocchi: The short rib was extremely tender and basically disintegrated as soon as you touched it. The gnocchi paired really well with it too. - BBQ chicken pizza: We ordered both the Margherita pizza and BBQ chicken and I would definitely get the BBQ chicken again. The sauce had the perfect amount of tanginess and savory flavor without overpowering the pizza. - Chicken parmigiana: Don't skip this! The chicken had the perfect amount of savory flavor and worked so well with the tomato sauce and vodka rigatoni. This ended up being one of my favorites of the meal. I was so glad we were able to order and try so many different dishes. This is definitely a family-style kind of spot, so if you come with a larger group, you'll get to try a lot more options. Already looking forward to coming back and trying more of their rotating dishes!

3-Star Review - Gia Mia…read more The food and overall experience were worth recommending, but unfortunately, our first interaction with the hostess/greeter was disappointing. The Hispanic woman with long hair who greeted us seated us at a table right by the entrance. We politely asked if another table was available because we preferred not to sit directly in the path of people coming in and out. She rolled her eyes and walked away without saying a word. When another table finally became available, she brought us over, and we both thanked her about twice. She wouldn't even look at us or acknowledge our thanks and simply walked away. Her attitude came across as very rude and unwelcoming, and it left a bad first impression. On the other hand, our waitress was wonderful! She was kind, polite, and welcoming, and she did an excellent job throughout our experience. She deserves recognition for her great service. I would still recommend Gia Mia, but I hope management addresses the importance of hospitality with the greeting staff. The hostess is often the first person customers interact with, and unfortunately, this experience made us feel unwelcome before we even had a chance to enjoy our meal. Everyone deserves to be treated with courtesy and respect, especially when making a simple, polite request. It would have been 5 stars if it weren't for that first interaction!

While serving a martinis at the table, our server had an accident. The shaker lid came off and the blue martini spilled all over my wife, soaking her top and skirt. Our night out was ruined. We had to go home and wash her clothes in hope that it didn't stain. At the end of meal, the bill came and they comped her drink. So compensation for getting get a blue martini dumped all over you is brushed off with a single drink. I buy people at bars a drink for any reason. I asked the host about it and he said we didn't ask for anything more so... We are not people who are out fishing for free meals, but because we didn't beg for anything, the host evidently felt he was off the hook for trying to make it right. Ouch. I'm sure that's not the image you want to portray for your restaurant.

I've had some really great arancini before, and these were alright. The sauce was the highlight, with a nice flavor and a slight kick to it. We were told the pizzas were personal-sized, so everyone in our group ordered their own. When they arrived, they were huge. I went with the Fredo, a more traditional-style pizza, and it was pretty solid with good toppings and flavor. Others at the table ordered the Detroit-style pizzas, and they looked incredible, I wish I had taken some photos. The general consensus was that the pizzas were a bit too bready, but they had good flavor, great presentation, and a nice crispy crust. Service was okay. It took a while for our server to take our order, and I wish we had been advised to share a few pizzas instead of ordering individually. We all ended up taking most of our pizzas to go, but with dinners planned throughout the rest of the trip, they unfortunately didn't get eaten later. Overall, a decent spot with solid pizza and generous portions.
