    Minimal menu, smaller establishment. Two single serving bathrooms. Bar with a few tvs to watch different sporting events. Seat yourself, menu on the table. Pizza was good, wings were hot and made to order. Music was playing in the background you could possibly make requests if you wanted.

    Why didn't I come here sooner??? From passing by on Lewis Ave, Jester's looks like a dive bar (well, yeah it is). One would probably never think amazing pizza comes out of this place! Well, it does! My boyfriend and I had the double decker with pepperoni and spinach and it did not disappoint. Our server was really friendly and attentive. The overall ambiance is nothing to write home about...it's kinda dark and dingy and old...but it was a good experience. I will 110% come back for more pizza! Also, I recommend getting a pitcher of soda. Otherwise, you'll be getting a can.

    Pleasantly surprised at this place. I've always passed by but never went in so I gave it a try. I ordered for takeout. Cheese pizza and wings. I liked the pizza, thin crust was good and it was extra cheesy. The wings were meh to me. I ordered bbq wings and they were lightly sauced. I'm more of a drown my wings in sauce kind of person. The employee who took my order over the phone was friendly and when I got there it was ready. It was still hot when I got home which is always a plus. The atmosphere is kind of like a bar set up. I'd go back for the food and try some other things. The prices aren't bad so you get what you pay for. I want to try the double decker pizza next time. I hear it's amazing.

    Staff was very friendly and courteous. Pizza was delicious. I tried the double and the single, both were great, but prefer the single.

    We ordered the chicken feta and spinach pizza with extra cheese, and I'll be honest -- it was…read moreabsolutely fantastic. Great flavor, perfectly balanced toppings, and definitely something I'd order again. We also tried the wings. I'd probably skip those next time. The sauce was just okay, and the wings themselves weren't as crispy as you'd expect. They tasted more like frozen wings than fresh. If that doesn't bother you, you might be fine -- but they didn't stand out. Our waiter was attentive, and the overall vibe is classic Quonset -- the smell of pizza in the air, cold beer, and friendly staff. Solid spot for pizza, just maybe not the wings.

    I live near here and get a small cheese to go several times a month…read more I may not be there at peak times but for me it's always better to walk in and order and wait for it than to call ahead. Never timed it but it doesn't ever seem like a long wait and the product is a landmark of consistency. 12", $13.50 now. $4.50-$5.50 in the late 1970's. I've lived around here in stretches now and again for 50+ years and this place is always the same as it was when I was in high school. For a small, independent bar-pizza joint, that's really impressive. But this place deserves some kind of a plaque. The small cheese pizza these folks put out today is photo-level consistent with what they put out in 1970. Ordinarily I would accept that I may have a little wishful brain fog about the crust and the sauce and the cheese being identical but that's also what I see when I look at comments. So, I may pick one up this afternoon. What's described as the cracker style crust holds up pretty well but it's still best all-around when eaten in the store. Haven't eaten one while sitting at the bar right after it came out of the oven in a long time but if I order it when I get there, 1 diet Pepsi later I'm walking out the door. That's pretty close.

While I consider myself a foodie, I had little interest in driving around the Waukegan area the night I visited Anastasia's. At first it appeared to be a great choice--myriad people in the bar area talking, eating, and reacting to the televised game. I ordered a glass of wine to start; the pour was rather skimpy. Tempted to order another, I realized a single glass was on the border of my daily alcohol per diem?! I decided to forgo the pizza special for wings and cheese curds. The resulting dishes provided a healthy amount (see picture), however, taste (as other Yelpers note) was average. When you rack up $55 for cheese curds, wings, and a glass of wine, AND you leave feeling 'meh'--for me, Anastasia's is an easy, "Well, I tried it..." experience. I think my next two visits for work will be branching out to the surrounding area for alternative dinner options.
