This was flagged as one of the best pizza places in all of Illinois so it's been on my to try list…read morefor a while. Located on Seminary Street, cute shops surround and on street parking available. Unassuming from the outside and purely historic, refurbished, recycled everything inside. Jazz and classic rock was playing on a record player. Staff was lovely and helpful with questions. Order at the counter and take a seat. Glasses are chilled, no ice. Canned sodas, water, alcoholic beverages available. Pizza has 4 sizes, specials and make your own. Sandwiches, salads. I chose the goat cheese and herb pizza and it was sooooo good. Chewy yet crunchy, the crust is perfection. Takes 20-30 minutes when not just. Worth the wait. Will definitely come back when we are in the area.

I believe that my search for the BEST PIZZA in the world (outside of Italy) has ended…read more "BAKED PIZZA" in Galesburg, Illinois (you read correctly, ILLINOIS!) serves an unbelievable pie. I had a five hour layover between Amtrak journeys (Southwest Chief and California Zephyr) so wanted to have best possible nosh in this Abraham-Lincoln-Slept-Here town within walking distance from the train depot. Thanks to Google Maps, Baked Pizza was top on the list. Sadly, they are closed on Sundays - my scheduled stop in Galesburg. So, I went to another local pizza place. That was an unfortunate disappointment. But, say hallelujah!, my return trip was on a Wednesday, so Baked Pizza was my highest priority. And color me grateful to Google Maps! Fortunately, I found this little hole-in-the-wall without difficulty. I entered into a brick sided wonderland. It must have been a white rabbit that led me there. I could not believe my otherworldly experience. I was greeted by the most cordial of greeter, Estefania. She was ever so patient and accommodating with my hearing disability. Baked Pizza was off to a great start! I took my time deciding which of the Lewis Carroll's fantasy pizzas to choose while I sipped their Two Hearted IPA. The Herbs and Goat Cheese was the winner. And what a winner it is! Dominated by basil, the herbs are fresh and wonderful. The mozzarella are geniusly complimented by the gentle goat cheese. And the herbs! Youd think that you were in Provence! Finally, and not at all leastly, the garlic oil is a finishing touch without equal. I admit that I dismissed the garlic oil as an advertising gimmick. Nay, I say! This seemingly add-on is essential. It is a must for the definive crispy crust! IMO, there is no equal. So, the next time you're within 500 mile if Galesburg Illinois, try Baked Pizza. You won't be sorry.

That being said, when our next generation visited to explore continuing education, the large pie and Sicilian bread we consumed on the way out of town was celebrated by our teens. There's just something about Alfano's ingredients, sauce, and pizza that resonates with your palate. If you're new to the 'burg, the rundown, piecemeal venue Alfano's currently resides will come as a bit of a shock. The pictures inside and out may not do justice to the discerning first time visitor. Rest assured, the resulting meal will be delicious! I wildly disagree with Yelper, Yvonne T., who judged this venue on a late night, inebriated experience. While I identify with the bread and butter of Galesburg's branch, Alfano's fills the friendly, affordable pizza needs of the area and will always have my business.

Food-5 Me and my friend asked our hotel receptionist what…read moreher favorite pizza place is in Galesburg. She said it's hands down The Pizza House. After she said that a hotel guest in the lobby also chimed in and said the same thing. I love a good thin crust pizza with some crispiness on the crust, but not burnt. This was definitely one of the best pizzas that I've had in years. The sauce was good, there was a good proportionate amount of cheese, and that crust was perfect. We also got the house sampler and there was not one appetizer included in that sampler that I didn't like. Everything was made fresh and came out hot. Service-5 The service here was exceptional. Our server was very attentive and always came back at the right time to refill my drink. The kitchen staff was on point, and the owner was very welcoming and polite. You could tell that they actually care about their place of business. Ambiance-5 I loved the feel of this restaurant. It felt very old school in the best way. They definitely keep up on the cleaning, and are able to create a friendly atmosphere. Overall-5 Would I go back to this pizza place? 100% yes! This is going to be my go to pizza place anytime I'm in Galesburg. Everything about The Pizza House was exceptional. If you have not tried this pizza spot you are missing out big time, especially if you are like me and love a good thin crispy pizza.

Nothing in Central Illinois compares to Chicago pizza........we've accepted that. Alfano's other pizzas, crusts, are just mediocre. We've also started to order the breadsticks, tho they could use more flavor like an "Aurelio's Pizza" breadsticks. I prefer a creamy garlic salad dressing for dipping the breadsticks. Alfano's does not serve one and all I could find in Central Illinois grocery stores that came close was a Wishbone creamy Italian. We've given up on the garlic bread, just too dried out, brittle and they won't add extra butter or garlic. Found out that their garlic bread is pre-made, then frozen, then thawed.........which explains the dissatisfaction. Yet, most of their other ingredients on their other food/pizzas, seem very fresh. All that said, it's nice that they deliver to the lake at Oak Run, $8 delivery charge and then we tip $5 on top of that. They've delivered in all weather, very much appreciated. And finally, everyone working there has always been very kind and efficient. We've never eaten at the restaurant itself. They've never messed up our credit card bill or gotten our order wrong. We're lucky they're there and that they will deliver.

Of course it's not stellar pizza like in authentic pizza places, and great pizza in Galesburg is hard to find in general. But you just can't get the Detroit style just anywhere, and if you have a taste for this style you will be satisfied with their "version". I can't recommend the crazy bread, I wish they had a more authentic garlic bread so I wouldn't have to stop at LaGondola for garlic bread before I get the Caesar's pizza. LaGondola bread is great, just prefer 1-stop shopping. No parmesan cheese packets here either, to sprinkle on your pizza. And the desserts are gross, you can literally taste all the chemicals in them.

One pizza had mozzarella and sausage, while the other swapped out the sausage for chicken. The sausage had a light kick to it, just enough spice to notice, but not overwhelming, and it added great flavor. The chicken on the other pizza was impressively tender. The gluten-free crust had a nice slight crisp on the outside while still being soft and supple inside, giving it a satisfying texture without feeling undercooked. Both pizzas were delicious, and it was great to have gluten-free options that didn't compromise on taste or texture. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere, which made the experience even better. And for those who aren't gluten-free, they offer a full pizza buffet with plenty of options including breadsticks and a wide variety of pizzas. Overall, Pizza Ranch in Galesburg delivered a solid experience with tasty toppings, good texture, a clean environment, and a friendly team. I'd definitely go back.
