    Lettuce stumps in my Caesar salad. This is so wrong. Give me edible ingredients.
    DJ N.

    2.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to a three because the food was tasty. Why a 2.5 if the food was good? I don't like when restaurants are being cheap with their ingredients and their effort while raising prices. Let me share what we ordered. We had chicken Alfredo and broccoli with pasta, buffalo chicken cutlets, and a couple of salads. The Alfredo was pretty good and I liked the curly pasta. It held the sauce well. The buffalo chicken cutlets were good, but I prefer boneless buffalo wings. In any case, the cutlets were nice and tender and flavorful. I would get them again. The salads were good, but what bothers me is when staff gets lazy and they don't cut the ingredients properly. The tomatoes in the Greek salad were massive. Who wants to eat tomatoes that are the size of half an apple? If I have to cut the ingredients myself, then I'll make the salad at home. Also, they throw in junk pieces of lettuce. Take a look at my pictures to see what I mean. That bothers me a lot. I'm paying good money during a recession and they threw in lettuce stumps to take up space in the container. I don't appreciate that at all. Be honest with your customers and give them what they pay for. Not ingredients that they have to throw away. This is not OK. Ever. Prices are higher than they were in recent times. Normal for most restaurants these days. Food was mostly good, but it really bothers me that they are not being honest with their customers right now. Businesses that cheat during times like these don't last for very long. Street parking is reasonable. This is a cafeteria style pizza and sub shop that serves pasta and salads as well.

    Pesto with mushroom & Eggplant Parm with curly pasta, marinaria sauce

    Had their curly pasta with pesto & mushroom and Eggplant parm with curly pasta with marinara. The eggplant was amazing - it seemed to melt in our mouths. We enjoyed both items. Owners were super friendly too. We will be back.

    I always forget to give a shout-out for our local pizza joint. I'm not a frequent yelper but I got reminded tonight that I should because everything was delicious as usual. The Capital pizza (chicken with pesto, artichoke, and added banana peppers), shrimp and broccoli calzone, and plain cheese for the little guy. One of these days, we need to branch out and try their non-pizza items.

    One of the best pizza I ever had. Fast friendly and affordable. Order from this place!

    The chicken wings were soooo good. I'm a big chicken wing fan and these were great. Nice and crispy. My daughter had a slice of pepperoni and she enjoyed that. The staff was very hospitable and friendly. I would definitely recommend and will for sure be going back to try some of their sandwiches, get a pizza and definitely get some wings again.

    I strolled in here because I was starving after doing so many errands and it's next to the UPS & USPS stores. I was so surprised about how amazing the food taste and quality is here. I also really appreciate how incredibly kind the cashier was taking my order. She answered all my questions about ingredient swap so kind and so informative. It's so rare I have a nice experience with a pizza shop cashier, I really appreciated her amazing customer service. The cashier went above and beyond to let me know great sides I can add into my Buffalo chicken wrap. Just so friendly and nice. This was honestly the best Buffalo chicken wrap I've ever had. Their chicken tastes amazing!!! They stuff the wraps with a good amount of chicken and aren't cheap on the good ingredients at al I also really appreciated that the seating are booths and they are so comfortable. They also had a tv playing the news and the volume was just perfect (not piercingly loud but good enough that I could hear it) I was also excited to see they offer chili (for $6.95) and clam chowder ($5.50) I can't wait to come back and try it on my next visit. A clear sign of how great this hidden gem is that during my dine in timing of eating my wrap the turn over of customers they got was nonstop with pick up orders. So happy I found this hole in the wall gem!

    Customized pasta: linguine, chicken, shrimp, fresh tomato & mushroom, garlic creamy sauce
    Lily T.

    Northender was a good experience for me. So far I've only got pasta and chicken parm from them. I liked both dishes. Each of them was good for two three meals. For the pasta, the owner was so kind and willing to make my customized, off-the-menu dish. After maybe three minutes into the hot, fresh, delicious dinner, I had to call them right away to thank them again and let them know how much I appreciated it. Many places cook tasty food, yet it is quite special when the food tastes like someone cares about it and about you. Like something they would make for their own loved ones. Northender's chicken parm was also great. The tomato sauce was so fresh with just the right amount of tang and seasoning, they can seriously sell that sauce by the jar. The chicken had a great texture and taste, the coating was just right: not too thin, not too thick, did not fall off from the meat at all. I have not yet tried the pizza (so far we've been quite loyal to Andrina's.) I'll give that a try at some point.

    Prep Neighborhood Kitchen - Corn ravioli

    So worth the wait!…read more We enjoy dining in for dinner at this nice farm to table restaurant! It's a nice and cozy restaurant tucked in the Arlington heights plaza. It is always busy on Friday and Saturday nights but each time we have walked in we are lucky to find a table. It's an order at the counter type of place but you pay after you're meal. They bring you you're food and then you pay when you leave. I really like that they get their produce from local farms and that they have a rotating specials menu. We are always excited to see what's new on their menu. I really love their pizzas! They are so flavorful and they always create a new pizza special. This night they had mozzarella blue cheese pizza which was very tasty! And they had a corn ravioli which had squash and tons of veggies! When it's a busy night it does take a little longer than an ordinary restaurant in terms of wait time but it's so worth it once you get your food! It feels like a home cooked meal and it tastes like one too!

    We stopped into Neighborhood Prep Kitchen for dinner on a Monday night after driving past here…read moredozens of times and saying we should try it out someday. We were really impressed, and it seemed to be a very popular spot! We ordered a pizza and the chicken parm to share and both were delicious. The pizza had that perfect wood-fired crust: crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and super flavorful. The sauce tasted fresh and the dollops of ricotta on top were a nice touch. The chicken parm was hearty and comforting, perfectly breaded with melty cheese and a really good red sauce. The space itself feels cozy and laid-back, and the staff was friendly without rushing us. It's the kind of place that feels just as good for a casual weeknight dinner as it would for a low-key date night. Definitely a solid local spot worth coming back to!
