This is my new favorite pizza place in Springfield. I had a supreme and it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The crust was perfectly done, and I really like the amount of ingredients and it was perfectly cooked. It also had what seemed like some spices on it that made it a little bit different than most other places. Can't wait to try it again. read more

Good food, slow service. I would avoid this place on a super busy night, as the staff seem to get overwhelmed easily. They do have really nice custom pizzas though, which is a hard find on the north side. They try, the place is usually pretty clean, satisfactory for sure. This is not a quick meal sort of place though, so if you're expecting to be in and out in twenty to thirty minutes on a busy night I'd suggest elsewhere. read more

I had been toying with the idea of trying this place for a few years and today I got around to it. Two years I have thinking about it. I'm such an idiot. Thinking of all the wonderful pizzas I could have enjoyed during that time had I just given them a chance sooner! What a waste. The thin crust 8 inch thin crust pizza was the perfect size. Oozing cheese, fresh ingredients, and the great service were all a plus. Even the breadsticks were super fresh. Make sure to let it cool before eating it though as it's hotter than a Hot Pocket fresh out of a microwave. Seating inside is decent but it's down to earth seating for us normal folk, so if you need something more upscale take your Yuppie but somewhere else. Preferably in California. read more

Alert: right off the highway if you're driving theough!!! If you are a local or just passing through town on a road trip, this pizza joint is where you need to stop! While I recommend the pizza, as that's what they're known for, my true recommendation is the meatball sub. Trust me you'll love it! Super friendly hostess and chefs in the kitchen! And a loyal customer base, make this place a 10/10 for your classic pizza joint needs. read more

It's been a while since we went to Neighborhood, so we decided to grab a couple pies from there. Firstly they have gone up in price. A one topping twelve inch pizza was $17!!! That's not my main complaint though; I'm not sure if they changed owner or their recipe, but these pizzas didn't taste remotely similar to what I remember. They were completely flavorless! Nothing at all tasted fresh, and everything seemed to be generic. The crust had no flavor except dough, and the toppings tasted like they were off a frozen pizza. There are just some places in town that seem like they cater to people who hate seasonings, or spices and this place is definitely one of them. If you put a slice of this pizza down next to a slice of lLittle Caesar's I honestly couldn't tell you which one was which. Maybe neighborhood was a little less salty? Regardless extremely disappointed. I know that some folks love it and that's great, but just know it's bland and overpriced. read more

Excellent pizza and salad. We had been traveling all day, stopping at the Holiday Inn Express. We were dead tired and were looking for something to bring back to our room. We yelped the immediate area and found this amazing "mom and pop" pizza joint that had that kind of special vibe. We split a medium pizza, half Supreme and half Garden (vegetarian). We added a small Spinach Salad with both their delicious and satisfying Italian Dressing and Creamy Italian Dressing. They included two bread sticks with our order. It was the first thing I tasted, and it was absolutely a mouthwatering foretaste about what was yet to come. We finished our meal with a couple of Peanut Butter cookies. read more

We then add a healthy amount of toppings to your pizza and cook it until its perfect. Each of our ingredients are made fresh daily and help to create our nine time, award-winning pizza. Plus, with other classics like our salads, sandwiches and our famous neighborhood casserole, you'll have no trouble finding something to satisfy the whole family.

I purchased this Restaurant because it has the best customer base of any Restaurant I have worked in the past, plus the recipes are a proven success. I like working in this industry because I like to make people feel good about the food they just put in their belly. The founder, who is a close personal friend of mine, really created a nice place to eat and I want to keep a good thing going. As long as we keep putting out good food and these awesome customers keep supporting us, we will be around a long time.

They had a really wide selection of alcohol, some cute decor and gift type items and speciality things like jams, pickles, salsas, seasonings, cheeses, olive oil, etc. It's fun to stroll through the aisles and the salads and sandwiches are really nice. Fresh ingredients. Really great tarragon chicken salad. My husband liked his croque. When we're back in town we'll stop by again!

We absolutely love this place. They have the best sandwiches, homemade soups, and pasta salad. My…read moreson and I usually get a large muffaletta and split it. When I say large, I mean it is massive. You need at least 2 to 3 people to eat the sandwich. Even if you took a quarter of the sandwich, you would be good to go for a meal. Often sometimes we will eat a quarter of it and take the other piece home after we split the whole thing in half. The soups here are phenomenal. They are made from scratch and they go fast. OH, and don't let me forget about the chocolate cake. It is wonderful! I try to get a piece every time I come. I believe the chocolate cake is homemade. Definitely a must have! The restrooms are well-stocked and usually pretty clean. The staff are pretty friendly,, with the caveat being that when the owner is checking you out at the register, he can be a bit prickly around the edges. Your main problem here will be finding a place to park if you go during a normal meal time. We usually park in the neighboring lot and walk over to the restaurant. Don't sleep on this place. It is SO good! Check it out for yourself next time you're in the area. You won't be disappointed.

LOUD AF on a Tuesday night with incredibly slow service…read more I like to eat in local places while we're on the road. Read about this place being historic with a beautiful bar and lovely tin ceiling. And that is all true. Walked in and could not believe how loud the single singer with an acoustic guitar was. There was a sound engineer, working a board, so he must've thought that level was OK. But you could not have a conversation at all. I was wishing for earplugs. When we first stepped in, I considered just looking at the carved mahogany bar and going somewhere else. But, we figured it should be fast and we could endure the cacophony for a short time. We were so wrong about it being fast. There was only one wait staff working that night, and she was also behind the bar. When she finally moseys over to us, she admitted she had forgotten all about us. She then took our drink order, and the drinks came quickly. But then she literally never came back to take a food order. Watched her go to all the other tables, watched her clean off the bar, watched her answer a phone call for a takeout order, and then I finally went up to the bar and asked her if we could put in a food order. Once the food was ordered it came out quickly. My husband's smashburger and candied pecan salad were both really delicious. I am a sucker for a local food item whenever I see it on the menu, and I made the mistake of ordering the cashew chicken poutine. The cashew sauce had zero flavor and was just overly salty. The chicken was fried very tough. At least the cheese curds were good. But I barely ate any of it. Nothing but regret about this choice.

This one guy with an acoustic guitar was so incredibly loud it was painful to sit through. Amplified like it was a rock concert.
