Full disclosure before we start: we went to Nancy's with friends of more than twenty years, and…read morewhenever you bring excellent company to a restaurant, the restaurant gets an unfair advantage on the review. That's the case here. Nancy's sits at the halfway point between our respective homes, which is the first thing it has going for it. The second thing is bigger: this is authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza in Southern Illinois, right off I-55, about an hour from St. Louis. Let's get the pizza snob argument out of the way. Giordano's, Pizzeria Uno, Lou Malnati's, Nancy's, everyone in Chicago has a hill they'll die on, and the snobs can have their way. I'm not rating this place on whether it has the best deep dish in the world. I'm rating it on a simpler question: is this a place you'd go out of your way for? Yes. If my appetite is calling for real Chicago deep dish, I'd drive the hour. Would I go twice in one day? Not possible. Two large slices of this pizza and your body files a formal objection to a second visit. The pizza itself is a bouncer. The room has a modern, franchise-feel look to it, clean and comfortable, with a small bar. I had the Cowboy Margarita, which is the first margarita I've ever had rimmed with sugar instead of salt. Tequila and rum together, sweet enough that it's really more of a cotton candy take on a margarita. Cowgirl Margarita might be the more honest name. Not my usual lane, but I finished it, happily. We started with two orders of loaded waffle fries, one with parmesan, ranch and bacon, one with pesto. This is junk-food-forward bar food and it does the trick. Both were solid, neither is the reason you make the drive. Middle of the road for loaded fries. But the pizza holds up. Nice flaky pie crust on the outside, doughy underneath, and a heavy casserole interior of cheese, meats and sauce, which is exactly what some pizza snobs will point at when they tell you Chicago deep dish isn't a pizza at all, it's a casserole with a crust. Fine. Call it what you want. Is it my favorite pizza? Probably not. Does it deliver on exactly what I came for? Absolutely. Service was fine, and I'll leave it there. We were a party of nine, and I couldn't tell from our server's disposition whether we were putting her out or she simply had other places to be. She was a bit particular, and it never felt especially warm. In fairness, we were so wrapped up in our own conversation that a more attentive server might have been a distraction. But you notice when the warmth isn't there, and it wasn't. We'd go back. This is the kind of restaurant you can rely on: it'll be there, it'll be consistent, and it'll deliver the thing it promises. 4.0 out of 5 stars. Genuine warmth from the service, add a solid old fashioned or straight forward classic cocktail to the mix and this place moves closer to a 5. If Nancy's Pizzeria were a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: it's Sam Wilson, The Falcon, in the years before he picked up the shield. Dependable, strong, always shows up when you need him, does the job without much drama. Not the headliner yet, and maybe never needs to be. But you'd never leave him off the team.

Great pasta! We tried the calzone, and in all honesty, if you order it, order a side of sauce…read more Otherwise it's a bit dry. Have not tried the pizza. But like I said, the pasta is amazing. I've also had their fresh scallops. Yum!!! The lasagna is good. The ravioli is good. Everything with their wonderful Sicilian red sauce is amazing. I have not tried the white sauce as yet, because I love the red sauce so much. And their homemade salad dressing is to die for. It is family run by a very talented chef direct from Sicily. If you're wanting a cheap out of the can spaghetti, don't come here. If you want quality, this is the place!

We went on 5 June...we were in our hotel still, awaiting household shipment. It was raining very hard but we had read about Gianni's and wanted to give it a shot. We were greeted by the owner, and had a great conversation with her while we waited for the food. It was like catching up with an old friend. She was warm, kind and delightful. We felt like we were visiting a home, the decorations were clean and elegant. I look forward to getting back over for a sit down. I had lasagna, and my wife had pasta Alfredo. Both meals came with a pretty big salad, and bread sticks. The dressing was fantastic, I think a simple oil & vinegar based with a great herb note to it. Both pasta dishes were excellent, a good healthy portion (I was stuffed but ate every bite of everything because it was good. I usually get a picture or two, but we were starving and just dug into it. We got our meals to go, our food was packed excellently and we were happy with every aspect of the meal.

Maybe it was the heatwave.. or maybe I was just off for a late dinner before bedtime…read more But this is the story of the "Root beer army" (so to speak). Pironne's is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, so I was kinda expecting... I dunno... something extra when I walked in the door (I think I'm going to have to find a dinner companion for these jaunts, just to go with so people don't look at me like I'm weird (which yes, I'm taking a point off for). Walked in and the sign warned me they're short-handed, so I expect a little time between stuff. Anyway, I'm by myself and the kid at the wait station kinda makes it known (Just "One"? Okay.) You could tell he didn't want to be there that night, but honestly, I'm not sure anyone did (as it was still roasting outside and this place is cooled by fans about 15 feet in the air... it was hot and stuffy inside (despite it being a non-busy night). Come on guys, I know we're wanting to be an Italian restaurant, but it's still America: Air conditioning please! Waitress is quick over to the table. No sweet tea in the restaurant, unsweet only (And this foodie is having a sad day at this restaurant to start.). Okay, Root beer it is.. (She quickly brings one over and so I ask her (as I do EVERY restaurant), what do you recommend? "Pizza is our specialty." I get that... but which pizza? You've only got 5 on the menu and a do-it-yourself pizza. it shouldn't be that hard to have a favorite. But that's all I get out of her. Okay, well, just for that. I'll start with the appetizer sampler. Fortunately, this was a quick serve, because remember I mentioned a heat wave? Root Beer one... gone! (remember the heat wave?) Unfortunately it takes a little while for Sampler plates, so by the time the plate arrives.. Root beer two.. gone.. but at least the other waitress is there for the save.. Perfect timing! So, they give me two plates (two, again! Sheesh. I'm by myself for this excursion!) for the appetizer (can i say, Mushrooms should NEVER look this small when they're deep fried!), it's called "BATTER UP!" and two different sauces (marinara and then tomato/meat sauce), even though I'm here solo. (See what I mean about a dining companion, even restaurants don't know what to do for solo men). Now amidst all my complainy-ing to myself... I gotta say the sampler's not bad and the Tomato/meat sauce is pretty darn good (made everything on the sampler plate better than just "breaded Italian food" (so I'm giving a HAPPY point here). But the heat wave still going on, but at least a different waitress sees I'm needing Root Beer #3! But now we have to take a point away. I'm still working through the appetizers but I set them to the side "AWAY" from the main floor.. so if you have to get over them you have to go through my eating, when introductory staff guy comes over and starts to pick up one of the bowls I've still got sauce in and food on my plate. (Do you really want me out THAT Bad?), but I was nice and motioned to him not yet.. so i didn't make him feel too bad, I think (I can be a nice old man at times :P).. And the waitress is back to take my order and Root Beer #4, and we'll do a "pizza" and since she didn't pick, Supreme. At this time I would point out all their specialty pizzas were about the same price (by size) and "DIY" came out to like $2 more if you added the same number of toppings. SO we're watching the root beer slowly disappear again. cause this was the step that took a while (getting the pizza), but here's where I'm going to be nice, because this pizza was... actually good. Not sure if it was the sausage or what, but it did salvage the meal. Oh and there was a rootbeer #5 somewhere during the Pizza eating time, that I kinda of lost track of. So on to the report card! Food: 3/5 (again, whatever meat on the pizza was used and the appetizer meat/tomato sauce saved it from being ordinary) Cost:; Again, probably more than i was expecting, but this time i will say it was due in part to higher than expected pricing for pizzas. Again if it had been with a friend, splitting costs, not so bad, but for a dinner of 1.. Little more expensive than i'd hoped. Service: Even though the kid obviously didn't want to be there and the staff was stretched thin, so mot the best night of service (2/5) Ambience: This is the United States, lack of a/c kinda just ruined most of the evening IMO (and the single runs of luck I'm having).. 2/5) But hey I probably my root-beer quota for the day.. so no winners/no losers this time around. So in my esteemed morale of the story: Make sure you're with a friend to split the costs, and in the end, a solid pizza that isn't enough to take the restaurant to 4*, but a decent 3-star Oh yeah and remember if you're going in the heatwave.. dress cool! (or you might be in that beverage-drinking army!)
