    Barbecue chicken and onion pizza
    Jacob M.

    They were open when nobody else was!! This nice old pizza restaurant was the perfect place for my local stay just outside Princeton. It was 10 pm and all the other places were only serving drinks. The pizza was delicious and I definitely recommend this place to other late-arriving Airbnb folk.

    Thin crust sausage pizza. Par-baked and finished at home on a pizza stone.

    I happened to be in Princeton and gave Monical's Pizza another shot. I am very glad that I did! We ordered a half baked, large (16") thin crust pizza with sausage. The gentlemen that answered the phone was very professional and did not hesitate to take our order. He even pointed out that the pizza would not be cut due to the half bake. That made complete sense and we appreciated the attention to detail. Once we got back to the Quad Cities, we cranked up our oven and finished baking the pizza on a pizza stone. Monical's Pizza makes an excellent Chicago tavern-style pizza. It's thin, crispy, and delicious! I'll be tempted to try their pan pizza on my next visit!

    Perfect thin crispy crust

    Passing through Princeton on the way home to Naperville, we stopped at Monical's for pizza today. It was the first time we've been to this restaurant. I didn't realize it's a chain restaurant mainly in central Illinois. Walking into the restaurant there's an area where you order and pay for your food at a small counter. They give you a number and you go into the restaurant and choose your own seat. A staff member will bring you your order. My husband and I each ordered a small side salad, which was cold and fresh. It had cheddar cheese, tomatoes and carrots on top. My husband and I each ordered pizzas. He had a larger thin crust sausage pizza and I made my own small veggie pizza with spinach, mushrooms, and black olives. We ordered our pizzas to be cooked crispy. I like that they had a chart to show you the different levels of doneness on their crusts. The crust was cooked perfectly crispy when it was delivered to our table, just like in the photo. It was piping hot when it came to the table which I loved. I was so surprised how good this pizza was. I can honestly say this is the best thin crust pizza I've ever had. Tammy took care of us by bringing our food and drinks to our table and checking on us. She was very friendly and engaging. It was a pleasure to have her wait on us. I could tell she liked what she did and that she really cared that her customers had a good experience. She's a definite asset to this restaurant. I'd definitely go back if I was ever in the area again just to have this thin crust pizza. I recommend stopping at this restaurant and giving their pizza a try. You won't be sorry.

    Because the pizza is so thin and crispy, you'll find you'll be able to eat a lot more here than at other pizza joints.

    After a long hiatus, we returned to Rolando's tonight for dinner. Got there right at opening and…read morewas greeted promptly by our waiter, Jeff. He was super nice and "Johnny on the spot" in all our service requests. The food and drinks were great. Still the same quantity, quality AND value. The Shrimp Platter had CoconutEncrusted coating which was so crunchy and delicious. The shrimp were so big, like prawns! Shrimp Scampi was buttery and garlicky, a slight crispy texture. Plenty of large popcorn shrimp rounded out the platter. Comes with the salad bar, which is fresh and tasty. Good selection of salad toppings. The Seafood Platter is also a wonderful plate of a tasty variety of fish. The broiled cod is to die for. Pollack was crispy and the popcorn shrimp plentiful. Such a great dining experience. We saw some customers eating a pizza and it looked so good we will be back sooner rather than later to try it. Owner is a really great gal. Always makes sure to come out of the kitchen to say hello and to see that you are happy with your dining experience. Highly recommend you make it a regular stop on your dining out rotation.
