The fenugreek added an incredible depth of flavor, tying everything together beautifully, and the sausage was absolutely delicious. Our second pizza was The Puff Formerly Known As, which was equally impressive. The hint of lemon zest made every flavor pop without overpowering the pizza. The dough deserves a special mention: light, beautifully fermented, and made with Caputo flour, resulting in the perfect texture and bite. I have to admit--I never expected to find one of the top three pizzerias of my life in Eureka, but I did. A huge thank you to Bob for welcoming us into your beautiful and authentic restaurant.

Prefaced with I've never been to Illinois till earlier this week, ergo unaware of quality and what restaurants people will keep going through patronage, I have spent the last few days checking out restaurants on Yelp. Noticed this was a surprisingly highly rated spot, even though the photos didn't look that great. Through ordering online , placed an order for a small pan pizza , not realizing (isn't listed on their website) that adding any toppings is 1.25$ more each; like a 23$ small pizza. It appears the pizza had its toppings put after the sauce, and cheese on top, leaving an unsatisfying appearance and feeling I would've needed to order "extra cheese" to get a normal pizza. The exterior of the crust was hard, like baked too high of a temp for too long, and crunched like a cracker with the dough being dense and flavorless. The "beef roll" appeared to be their small dough folded over into a 12"x8" rectangle and cut into 1"x3" long pieces , and dusted with an Italian seasoning. Thin shaved beef inside, opted for pepperoni in it too. It was alright, again the crust put me off, the au jous that comes with it was watery and bland, and for 20.50$, felt like an overpay. Personally I like getting boneless wings with pizza, so opted for a dozen of those for us. Limited flavors , went with "hot", which was no hotter than Franks red hot. If they were fried, they steamed inside their foil and styrofoam container, and were received soggy and soft. Nothing noteworthy on taste or experience there.. beyond the 16.75$ charge, making each quarter-sized piece like 1.40$ each All in all impression: overpriced. I wouldn't go back, and if this is the best rated pizza in town, think I won't be going out for pizza around here the duration of my trip, least it be overpriced for mediocre food again.

I think they closed, we both got food poisoning. Won't let me leave NO STARS, or I would.read more

Then the pizza came out faster than I thought it would, making my pickup timing perfect. The pizza itself was fantastically airy and light inside - not unlike a really well-made focaccia bread - and those cheesie-crisped crust corners are pure money! Having heard that these corners were the bomb, I requested the 2 half-pie / 8-corner pizza, on the downside though, the pizza we received only had four. Perhaps the coupon applied changed things, but we were a bit disappointed as it absolutely was the best part. We rationalized this based on the out-the-door cost of $17 making it OK, but I'll be more specific next time. All in all Jets was a pleasant surprise and certainly worth trying.

Worth the Drive - One of the Best Pizzas I've Ever Had**…read more If you're looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza, make the trip to **Iniga Pizzeria Napoletana** in DeKalb. It is, without question, some of the best pizza I've ever eaten! Every pizza arrives beautifully blistered with that signature airy, chewy crust that only a true wood-fired oven can produce. The ingredients are exceptional--from imported San Marzano tomatoes and creamy mozzarella to fresh herbs and premium toppings. Each pizza is handcrafted, simple, and absolutely bursting with flavor. Our favorites? Mais Pizza - sweet corn, creamy cheese, and just the right amount of char...unexpected and unforgettable. Hot White Pizza - rich, spicy, and incredibly satisfying. Pesto & Burrata - fresh, vibrant, and decadent with perfectly creamy burrata. San Marzano Tomato & Sausage - classic done to perfection. Sometimes the simplest combinations are the very best. The menu extends well beyond pizza with charcuterie, salads, gelato, desserts, cocktails, beer, and wine, plus gluten-free crust options for those who need them. If I had one suggestion, it would be to refresh the indoor atmosphere a bit. The food deserves an interior that matches its quality and creativity. The outdoor patio, however, is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal on a beautiful day. Brent as your server will take up another notch! And here's a bonus..Monday is half-price pizza.You'll probably find me there. Iniga doesn't just serve pizza--it delivers an authentic taste of Naples right here in Illinois. It's a destination restaurant that's absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommended!

We decided to drop in since it had just opened, and we wanted to see what they had to offer. If you look at the name "pizzeria napoletana" you may get the idea that this isn't Pizza Hut. It isn't. This is (according to my wife who has been to Naples in Italy) pizza the Napoletanese way. Thin crusts, interesting toppings, and different than mainstream American pizza. When we arrived we were promptly greeted at the door as we walked in, and given a choice of bar or dining room seating. We selected the dining room. Both areas were warm and comfortable, with the usual things in the bar (big screen TV) and dining room (art on the walls, nice tables and chairs, nice booths). We started with the Bagna Cauda, which was delicious. It seemed to be a little light on the garlic compared to my friend's version of the dish, but it was still good. It was served with bread, fennel, pepper and zucchini for dipping. It could have fed 4. For pizzas, my wife ordered their Margherita Verace, and I ordered their Puttanesca pizza. The Puttanesca had green olives, brown olives and white anchovies. The crust was very thin - so thin that I ended up cutting this with my knife and using my fork. I couldn't even fold it - the crust is very soft. I tried my wife's Margherita Verace, and it was similar in crust. It had lots of good stuff on it, and tasted good. Drinks were reasonably sized. I had a glass of wine which was fresh, and my wife after trying to order (and pronounce) Raganrok found that they were out of the sweet mead, so she went with a Negroni instead, which she said was quite good. The bathrooms were clean, but chilly in temperature. I hit the hot air hand dryer as I walked out in an effort to warm up the space. Clean, all fixtures worked, and well kept. The question boils down to this: Are you willing to experience pizza the way it was originally made - or not. If you are willing, you should try this place out. If you aren't willing - well, that's on YOU to change. You're missing a lot.

I heard by word of mouth from some folks I used to go to high school with that Knuckles was a great place to eat that just opened. I had never heard of them but I decided to try them out. They only do carry out and it wasn't the cheapest option, but the effort was worth it. It's just the best pizza in peoria I've ever eaten. I hope that everyone in Peoria gets to try it. The crust is amazing, the square slices are so unique, but it's also seasoned just right so you know that no one can really imitate how they do it. They are so delicious I couldn't help but give them some internet props. Just give it a shot. It is worth every single penny. I will be going back lots and lots. read more

She made the drinks / two guys sat scrolling. Another guy was at the host stand and he was scrolling and the other two were also sitting at a table - you guessed it - scrolling. No tables had the condiments on them and the other table of two had to ask for them and so did we! This location tends to start getting a lot of kids coming in after ball games, aquatics next door and the soccer field down the street. It becomes a lesson in how not to parent and the noise level becomes more like Chuckee Cheese. The food is great. The drinks were meh. I'll go back to Peoria Heights location next. My fear is that Brienzo's is over extending themselves with three locations and that by doing so, an inevitable collapse of the entire empire is forthcoming. Brick and mortar places are expensive when you are renting. I hope I'm wrong on this. Brienzo's wood fired is the best of these types of pizza joints. They might want a phone policy for the employees. The picture is from the "Toast" app. Said my two stars there I'd already given my review or I'd taken too long to give it. Less than four hours too long? Because I don't already give it. Maybe all the scrolling is them doing the customer reviews?
