Curds
Ethan E.

An unlikely mealtime hero. I was with a couple friends in the area and we felt the call of hunger. We just so happened to come across this fine little joint in our endeavors, and it was the just the kind of place we were looking for. Even though it was early evening/ late afternoon, there was already some groups hanging out and enjoying the grub, so we knew we were in for something great. Our server was very friendly and welcoming (I can't remember his name, but he was amazing). It really felt like a place I would to actually hang at, and not just to get a bite. I order a root per usual, and I really really love that its served in a chilled mug. It those extra touches that really make it all worth it. I tried the curds as a starter, and they were certainly interesting to take it. The beer battered take on a classic was most certainly a unique approach. They were phenomenal though. The batter flavor made them a little more savory then the average curd. A risk worth taking, that's for sure! The marina and ranch pairings were also a hit. So many wonderful flavors. Now for the pie! This was my first time getting a taste of a "New Haven Style" pizza. I went with my usual boring but ever-faithful plain cheese. The cook of the homemade crust was well executed and had great taste. It wasn't crazy greasy either, and it filled me up pretty quickly. Absolute banger of a za'. An epic experience all around, will be back!

Lively place in the heart of downtown Park Ridge! It was expensive for what it was, but the food was tasty. We had decent service and the place played loud music. They had cute decorations for Christmas, lots of TVs to watch games, and different types of seating including booths. The hot honey pizza was amazing but relatively expensive- a large fed 4 people with other appetizers. The cheese curds were delicious. Overall, would recommend a stop if you're in the area!

Beet salad
Josie W.

One of our favorite spots in Park Ridge. The best American pizza hands down. We had the Italian Beef pizza always with a side of ranch and it was delicious. Not greasy, crispy and truly the best. The salads are great as well. We had the beet salad and we have had the chopped salad and both delicious. Service is always fast. Lots of TVs to watch sports. The ambiance is the best. Such a good spot!

Have not been to Holt's for a while, because we've been cooking at home and going to places that we can count on consistency. Service is fine. I think the experienced people of yesterday year, meaning pre-Covid, have all moved on. I want to say that experience, especially with today's higher prices, is really what's needed, and most establishments such as. Holt's is lacking. As far as ambience, it's always been fairly loud inside. Which can be fun, but also it's hard to have a private conversation.

Holt's is a okay restaurant/bar. I came strictly for their cheese pizza since they claim they are New Haven style pizza! I had to come check it out. pizza was kinda okay nothing special at all sauce was kinda weak. I wouldn't call that New Haven style. I've been to CT and had pizza. Holts crust and dough falls very short compared to New Haven plus you need the right oven which they don't have. Peace in the city is more closer to CT pizza. Holt's service was really nonexistent. It took forever for a thin crust cheese pizza to come out!(40min) They have bunch of high school kids running around the restaurant running it. I wouldn't go out of my way or wait for a table more than five-ten minutes to sit down at Holt's.

We came here for dinner to celebrate my father-in-laws birthday over the weekend. There was ample parking available when we arrived but I imagine it can get very busy here during peak times. The inside was spacious and since we had a reservation, we were seated right away. The menu keeps it straightforward with apps, salads, and pizzas. I like that they offer a build your own option for the people that want to customize it. We ended up ordering the burrata basil and the hot honey pizza sans meat and our group enjoyed them. The crust was very tasty and I especially liked the fresh tomatoes they topped the basil pizza with. Def would like come back and try a build your own pizza.

Over serve fries
Lauren Z.

Fry over load, I repeat, fry OVERLOAD. The service was excellent as our server, Gracie made sure to check on us throughout our time there. Super sweet, super attentive. It was PACKED on a Saturday evening after 5pm. Friendly staff. Swanky atmosphere and clean establishment. A few gripes. WAY too many fries. Didn't have many side options for the burrata and the burger we got also came with fries. Too much!Also..extremely expensive! We ordered calamari appetizer that ALSO came with fries. We also ordered the avocado & burrata bread and the house burger. Both were excellent and probably the BEST burrata I've had in quite sometime. The burger was buttery and melted in your mouth. Overall? Great food great service just a tad too much on the chips and the bill.

Side salad
Jacqueline L.

Stumbled into this place for lunch as I was in the area and waiting for a train. Sat at the bar. The staff was friendly. Seemed they were a little understaffed especially during a lunch rush but service was still good. Was greeted right away and got my food in under 10min. I ordered the chicken sandwich. It was huge and so delicious. Would definitely recommend. I got the side salad instead of the fries. That was just okay. The place was nice. Very chill and casual place... at least for lunch.

Side salad with the Salmon BLT
Oliver Y.

Visited here 09/19/2024 - Thursday Night Football. Restaurant was busy with everyone grabbing happy hour, vibe was good, weather was perfect for the sliding doors to be opened and nice breeze coming in. Drinks: Some lime beer, it was different, it matched the refreshing breeze that was circulating the restaurant. Something different. Started out with the Meatball app, that was yummies! Remember to save the sauce for dipping later. Also went with Calamari+Shrimp+Chips app, thats a meal on its own! Everything was lightly fried, the Texas Pete hot sauce packets was a nice touch, the dipping sauce which may have been some tomato something that was good too! For mains, went with Salmon BLT sandwich and Kale+Bussels Sprout. Salmon was good, cant go wrong with anything that has BLT in it's name! The salad was really refreshing. Server Jessica, she was amazing, Drinks were never half empty, great recommendations on food, matched the vibe of the atmosphere!

"Pepper and Egg Sandwich", only this place doesn't know that that's all that goes into one of these.

I had lunch here on my last full day in Chicago on Sunday. It was the ideal place to do so since it…read morewas Week Two of the 2026 NFL season (the Bears-Vikings game was on). My brother, three of my cousins and I sat at a round table next to a glass window that offers a view of the kitchen. We were nicely served by a waiter named Alex. It took nearly an hour for our pies -- The Classic and Chicago Special -- to arrive, but that's expected when you order Chicago-style pizza. Boy howdy, it was worth the wait. From a presentation standpoint, the pizzas appeared well prepared and baked just right. Flavor wise, I understood why my brother said that lots of people who arrive at O'Hare tend to come here after they get on the Kennedy (that's I-90 for those of who aren't from Chicago). The cheese in The Classic (sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions) and Chicago Special (pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers and onions) is fresh, plentiful, and thankfully, didn't burn the roof of my mouth. It blended well with the sauce and the toppings in each. Each slice was massive to where I was full after at least three forkfuls. When it comes to favorites between the two, I pick The Classic since I enjoyed it the most. I'll add that the Special is like the Italian Beef, the sandwich that's famous around these parts, in pizza form. Before I forget, I should mention that we started our lunch with wings and calamari. I didn't touch the calamari, but I sure couldn't get enough of the wings. That's possibly why I was stuffed (no pun intended) a few minutes into diving into the pizza. I suggest that potential diners request for Alex. The guy practically moved Heaven and Earth to make sure we were alright. He refilled our glasses, gave extra napkins and shared updates on the pizzas. If you have a trip to Chicago in your future and your flight is bound for O'Hare, add this Giordano's to your itinerary.

How about a ZERO…read more This is a fresh review as we left about 20 mins ago to another restaurant. We arrived here as we have many times in the past. 5:10 Friday evening not busy. We were seated. As we sat a family came in, another couple and a large group. They all arrived after we did and were tended to immediately. We waited 10 mins and still no one so that's when I decided I'll go eat at a place that wants to feed me. Two servers talking in the corner doing nothing What a crock. Hey managers of this restaurant. Get your staffs heads out of their butts and wake them up. I've spent alot of money in here over the years between family and friends get together. That ends today

I don't remember the last time I felt compelled to write a Yelp review, but after our first visit…read moreto Spuntino, I had to. We were in the area looking for a great pizza place, and Yelp led us here. It's a small, cozy restaurant serving authentic, delicious food. We ordered the sampler appetizer along with a vegetarian, sausage, and pepperoni pizza, and everything was outstanding. The service was just as impressive as the food. The owner, Nick, and I ended up talking about our shared love of the Chicago Bears. I learned he's a big Bears memorabilia collector, and to our surprise, he generously gifted one of my kids a pair of Jones #70 shoes from his collection. It absolutely made my son's day and created a memory our family won't forget. We came for the pizza, but we left with so much more than a great meal. Support this business not only because the owner and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, but because the pizza is every bit as amazing as the people who serve it. We'll definitely be back.

I went to their social media page and was sold! This guy loves Chicago-style, thin crust pizza. He swears Chicago-style pizza is the best in the country. That very well may be true, but unfortunately, my experience this night, with this delivery was not it. On a positive note, the toppings were fresh, a bit chunky and fresh. As you can see, I was hungry, so I ate the toppings. The crust was weird. It wasn't really thin. It wasn't thin, and for some reason when I think of thin, I think a bit crispy. Not only was the crust not thin, it was weirdly moist. Moist in that there was a level of it that was verging on, not cooked long enough. I mean I have never, NEVER in my life had bad pizza. This is probably horribly insulting, but I could have nuked a better pizza dinner. The frozen Totino's Party Pizza crust is better than what I had. This was the first bad pizza I've ever had in my life. The wings were okay. I had a salad because they ran out of Arancini. My Diet Cokes were perfect. The older gentleman who delivered seemed nice.
