We first visited this spot 3 years ago on a business trip, and we haven't stopped talking about it since! We finally had the chance to return to the Chicago area, and our absolute first priority was coming back to the place we've been bragging about for years. It did not disappoint! You absolutely must order the extra thin crust pizza--it is hands-down the best. We happened to visit during a Bears game, and the energy in the bar was incredible. So much fun! The staff was wonderful, too. Even though the place was packed and super busy because of the game, the service was still fast, attentive, and friendly. So glad we came back! read more

I loved Evviva's marinara sauce sooooo much I ordered nearly weekly however recently Evviva changed their sauce has no taste at all:-(:-(. I don't know why restaurants drug companies on & on have to change their products? ... we will try other Salerno Pizza locations like Western Springs & Hodgkins near where my husband works see if these locations have decent marinara before going elsewhere. read more

Evviva Bar & Eatery - Gluten Free Spaghetti with marinara sauce - Pizza Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

Good food. Great neighborhood place. Participates in InKind app. Pizza very good. Wide variety of clientele, which I like to see. There is a separate door for carry out around the back. Grilled calamari very good, grilled wings also good. Check out the happy hour menu, different specials every night. Friday had whiskey drink specials. Lots of TVs for watching various games. We got pasta dishes to go, large portions. We will be back, the kind of place you know will be good, casual, friendly vibe. read more

Pizza is great. Servers are great. Would love to see other specials and different foods offered such as a steak sandwich or eggplant parm or a specialty burger.seafood specials too! Great experience every time!!! read more

Evviva Bar & Eatery - This is what they call a meatball sandwich, not one drop of Mariana on It , total bs . - Pizza Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

Used to love this place , but lately they can't get an order right & the food(loosely used) is well below par. Been ordering for 10+ years & now the pizza either comes undercooked with the cheese shifted all over or if you say well down , it's overcooked and dry. Last few orders, each one was missing something or there was a problem. Staff & service is great & they're friendly, but the food quality & cooks should be at Pizza Hut or Applebees. Posting a picture of my "chicken parm sandwich " from last night. Wasn't even edible. read more

What an amazing experience! My friends and I have loved coming here for years just as a getaway from the daily stresses and we feel like we have a second family here. We ask for Samantha because she never stops running, she makes sure our orders are correct and ready on time (to the best of her ability and she cares). Samantha deserves this shout out as she never disappoints. The whole restaurant deserves a shoutout for working as a team and caring about each other the way they do. If you're looking for a night out with a breath of fresh air Evviva Bar & Eatery is the place. PS ask for Samantha Thanks all for creating a sweet getaway. 10 STARS read more

I can't believe I'm saying this but The fried calamari was some of the best I've had. Amanda was our server and was very very attentive and fast with our food and drink (on a super busy night none the less) excellent service. The music was great too! They had this DJ named Ronnie who kicked ass with the music selection (hope he's the in house DJ) I will be back! And with friends!! read more

Evviva Bar & Eatery - Calamari - Pizza Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

It was my first time here on Friday and let me tell you it was definitely not my last! The traditional pizza was out of this world! The food is Salerno's which is very tasty! Our service was great as well. I loved that they had a band as well. It is hard to find places these days with live bands. Only thing I would recommend is having a hosts stand in the front so people are crowding around the front confused on where to sit and avoid waiting in a line. read more

My husband and I came here recently after leaving the Morton Arboretum, and we had a pretty good experience, but it was nothing special, in my opinion. When we walked in, I liked the ambiance. It was bright from having many windows, and I liked the mix of brick, stone, and wood details on the walls. I'm also a sucker for places that have garage-like windows that open all the way up. When we sat down, our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed because she was one of two waitresses helping customers inside and outside. The restaurant wasn't overly crowded, but she didn't seem like she wanted to be there; she wasn't very personable. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my Blue Moon I ordered, which was a bit annoying, but I was very thankful I ordered water too because my husband and I got those right away. Foodwise, I ordered an Italian Sausage and Beef Combo Sandwich ($13) and my husband ordered a Cobb Salad ($15). My sandwich was okay, and it hit the spot because it took a while for it to come out, but the bread tasted a bit hard, so I ended up eating the meat inside by itself. The Italian sausage was cooked perfectly and was full of flavors and spices, but the beef was subpar and bland. I wish I had asked for au jus on the side because I think everything just needed to be drowned in gravy to make it a bit more flavorful. My husband's salad was okay, but I tried a piece of his chicken, and it had no seasonings on it. It was so plain and kinda gross, in my opinion. He also ordered his salad with caesar dressing instead of their homemade vinaigrette, but it didn't taste or look like caesar. He asked to make sure it was correct and our waitress confirmed that it was corrected. He didn't mind, but we both agreed it wasn't the best salad he ever ordered. Overall, I would give this place another try and order either pizza or a calzone because it seems that everyone raves about those more than anything else here. read more

This place clearly caters to its locals and regulars. If you're here to pick up food itll be burnt but edible. At least theyre open late. Also pickup is in the back of where google tells you to go. The resturant isnt in the front for pickup you gotta go alllllll the way around. At least according to the wrinkly bag of bones bartender gestured me to do because the resturant is a separate entity. Either that or the front isnt the entrance for black people. Either way. Yeah come here and enjoy crispy food in all its forms. Burnt , over fried, and extra dried. At least the pickle and the to go boxes were fresh. read more

Livin evviva loco! ! If you want your boots or shoes to start stomping and mouth to start drooling this is the place to go. As a Salerno chain, Evviva is a lively and classic bar , they always have live music and events going on (live bingo on Tuesday's at 6:00), just look up the website for for info, but that's besides the point, your mouth will water once you smell the original pizza! The chicken tenders will think they had the chickens clucking in the back tasting so fresh and crisp! I have come here many of times, this is definitely the place to hang with friends or family. My daughter loves this place! Just be prepared this place can get exciting with loud music and drinks pouring! Also I have the greatest waiter always so respectful and knowledgeable. On the last side note, the majority of the things you will order here is made from scratch, so that makes it original and authentic to me, and is not just a bar food place it's an original flavor. Chef's kiss ! read more

More of a bar atmosphere. Very loud and upbeat. It was still appropriate to bring our child and he enjoyed it there. Our server was friendly and nice. Specials available every day of the week!!! We requested a large thin crust cheese pizza. A bit greasy but still tasty. Ample cheese and sauce. On the more savory then sweet side which we like when it comes to sauce. If you've ever had Salernos growing up, this is like the pizza from your childhood. Will definitely come back if visiting the Arboretum!!! read more

Had a much better experience this time! We asked and made sure we understood what the special covered, and there were no problems. Our server was friendly and helpful, even when I accidentally knocked our entire pizza on the ground while trying to cut it. They quickly made a new pizza for me, and didn't charge us for the first one. I felt very embarrassed, but they reassured me they would take care of it. Overall, much better experience and I'm glad I gave it a second chance! read more

Ordered take out. 5 stars for pizza. Wrong salad dressing with our order. First time I picked up- bartender (dude in a headband) had like 3 people sitting at bar and I went right over to him to ask where I pick up order. I was invisible- didn't exist. He ignored me. I waited, was patient just out of curiosity. Literally 2 feet from the guy. Weird. Doubt I'll go back- lots of good pizza joints with people who care about customers. read more

We were visiting the area for a wedding. Our choice for dining is always to eat at a local place. My wife did some research and Evviva popped right up, and being originally from Chicago, the Salerno name was one we knew well. Jammed on a Friday night, with families and couples. But it took no more than 10 minutes to have a table and place out order. Started with a perfect Capree salad and then on to the pizza. Beyond great. just cheese, sauce, sausage and onion. We had a wonderful "server", th egrandaughter of one of the brother that founded these great Salerno restaurants. Found out there is one in our home state of Arizona in Gilbert. We will be stopping by. Thanks for agreat meal and experience. read more

Back at the old homestead for a visit so came back here to meet friends. The pizza is still as good as I remember. The Mrs (self proclaimed Reuben expert) ordered for us. Extra large, thin, half sausage and half pepperoni- well done. Holy crap was it good. Like seriously really good. Plenty of cheese, cooked just right. Correction it was better than I remembered. The sauce was just right. Personally I'm not a thin dough pizza type, the wife is. Which I why I think she ordered - she snuck a thin crust in on me. But in this case it worked. Service was outstanding, and we arrived at happy hour. Evviva isn't overly large so it's get there early- it's that popular. We had the extra large pizza, 4 beers and 4 cocktails and an excellent dining experience for $64. Very reasonable.. read more

Jack the manager for the late afternoon, effectively explained that every Wednesday their very loud and obnoxious patrons came in and were so loud anyone in the low boy seating would be subjected to them. We had no choice at the time but to sit near the load obnoxious seniors and no one advised us we should not sit there. Jack, the manager on duty, did not care about our plight whatsoever and indicated, this was entirely our problem and that if we didn't like it it wasn't his problem. It appears therefore, he has no interest whatsoever in encouraging repeat business in this establishment. read more

My husband and I go to Evviva almost every other weekend. The service is always friendly and and the atmosphere is great. The best part is the service. Samantha, Melissa and Ashley are extremely friendly and attentive. The place is full of great servers. I recommend this place to everyone we know! read more

We stopped in on a recommendation from a friend. We had the pizza and for a bar/eatery, it was very good. It was Salerno's brand pizza with a slightly thicker crust and rich sauce. Plenty of cheese and sausage, it was very good. Service was great and we will be back again. read more

Evviva is one of our all time favorites! The atmosphere is really warm & trendy but has that cozy neighborhood feel. It is also a GREAT place to watch your favorite sports ( especially the Chicago Blackhawks). When you go there you definitely have to order the pizza it is the BEST ( even the cauliflower pizza) but feel free to order what you like because trust me ALL the food is good ( chili, wings, wraps, pasta, paninis, etc.) & the drinks are always cold. The best thing about Evviva though is the service. Especially Laura & Jasmine! They rock! Already dreaming of my next visit... . read more

Great food and amazing service! Nikki is the best bartender on staff, with quick service, personable attitude and she remembers my ice! Weekly specials are a great deal and kid friendly in the early evening. Sausage pizza is hands down one of the best in the area and they serve grilled calamari. Many great options on the menu. In the summer the patio is a great place to relax in the evening and they just added new furniture. read more

Where to start I understand it was New Year's Eve, and it was packed, but all the tables around me were getting service? multiple times we tried to order food (never got to order any food if you can see by the bill) at times had completely nothing to drink at all I don't know what the "alcohol tax is, I have never seen any Restaurant charge list before ever. and a "hospitality fee" is, but I can tell you, I've never felt more unwelcome anywhere in my life and things sure were not hospital, especially if I was paying extra for it, but I can tell you I won't be coming back here again. All the tables were promptly waited on except ours and yes I did reflect that in the tip I'm tired of paying 20% or more to get nothing except crap service, and I don't know what all these other fees are either. I left a tip because it was New Year's Eve and I left more than I probably shut off. It was probably about 18% but I'm not inclined to return back here. read more

Came back & got the pizza & it was very good We had a large sausage, pepperoni & onion- it had lots of sausage not as much pepperoni or onion but was a filling pizza. It was more than 2 big guys could eat. We also tried the cheese curds & they were blah. Just get the pizza & be happy with your order Bill was almost $50 for a pizza & an app with no drinks read more

I normally don't do reviews but although Evvviva's pizza is excellent their service and management is lacking. I ordered carryout and they forgot my caesar salad on an $80 order and when i called them they delivered it and told me they would give a a $10 credit. I ordered a 2nd time and was told unless my name was in their notebook they would not honor it or give me any credit and were very rude. I will not be going back a 3rd time. It's a shame because their food is excellent. read more

We went in for lunch today. Its a good spot. Our waitress was really awesome. The grilled Calamari was very good. We ordered the tequila lime wings because the menu said they were grilled. Unfortunately they were not. They were ok, very dry. I got the Evviva pizza on the cauliflower crust and it was really good. My son got a pepperoni and sausage traditional crust pizza and he loved it. Nice tucked away spot. I would have gone four stars if the wings were better. We will try it again! read more

Poor customer service. Got charged for a kids meal even though their website and server told me kids eat free on Tuesdays. They said their menu changed and they will not be removing the kids meal which was only $7. Their website still says kids eat for free. The owner came over and refused to remove the kids meal. I told them ok fine then I won't be tipping and won't come back and the owner responded saying "Ok". They clearly do not care about their customers or their staff. Stay away from here. read more

Salerno's Up front you should know that the pizza and possibly other items on the menu are from Salerno's or same recipe. I'm not sure if this place is owned by Salerno's, but the menu has the Salerno's name on it. That said, I grew up in St. Charles and went to Salerno's as a kid and even go these days. Salerno's has really good pizza options. Their thin crust pizza is really good Chicago style with the crust crispy. I got a calzone which was bigger than a football. I cut it up and shared it. Definitely worth checking out read more

I ate here twice in the past few times, and loved it: Jalapeno burger (lunch): A half pound of flavorful beef, served with delicious hot crunchy fries. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, as ordered. Pizza (Monday happy hour, half price): my dad wanted a thin crust, and wished he would have ordered a traditional crust, which he had here a week ago. The crust and cheese were a bit chewy, but the toppings (sausage and mushroom) were tasty and generous. This place has a great vibe and a sweet outdoor porch to enjoy on nice days, a winner. read more
