The four of us at work today all took advantage of the Monday special where you buy one pasta dinner, get a second of equal-or-lessor value free. We are all glad we did. We loved it. Spaghetti, ravioli, mostaccioli, and chicken parmesan all hit the spot. The portions were huge, so big that for some of us the amount of food in the two dinners comes to more like three or four meals. We have also had the pizza several times (also excellent) and the antipasti salad and were more than satisfied. We look forward to more, and often. read more

Really wanted to love this spot, but unfortunately pizza wasn't just average, frankly it was kind of bad. Got a big boy & a medium large sized thin along with a salad for $70 pickup tonight. Cheese just slide off every piece in one chunk - leaving no sauce but just lil pizza dough crust. Sausage tasted not just bland but bit foul or bitter or just like frozen pizza but "past it's prime." I tried it few hours later cold and then reheated but the sponge square of congealed "cheese" still slid off and even when it didnt- really left a bad taste Sorry y'all not coming back here - overpriced & a poor example of chicago pie read more

As always I had a great Chicago style lunch here . Great place and highly recommend this place For smaller events as well As Casual dinning read more

Pizza is amazing! Server just placed the pizza and walked away. No offer to plate the pizza. Young host was not accommodating and rude. Upper section seating had terribly musty carpet smell. Has anyone cleaned this year? read more

Pros: They give you a TON of food and the quality is really good as well. The service was really nice and the vibe was amazing. Cons: Sometimes the food tastes different every time I come here, I ordered the fettuccini alfredo and wanted to try it again but it tasted weird. read more

This is straight out of the 90s. It's exactly as I remember it when I was a kid 20 years ago. Old school carpet, green stripped awnings on windows. 85 bears celebratory decorations, maybe they'll update it when the bears win again? Couple pizzas and a few beers for four of us and total was $200 - really reasonable. Didn't even mind that my kids spent a ton in the arcade. read more

2nd time eating their pizza, however, first review, and my first time dining in. It's a large place with ample seating. Also, there seems to be a small arcade room for the kids. Our waitress was hustling. It was a busy night, especially with kids running around everywhere. We ordered 2 RC cola drinks and a 14" half sausage, half pepperoni pizza. We almost finished it, but took several pieces home. It was slightly greasy, but not too bad. The crust was thick for a "thin crust." I think we waited 25 minutes or so for it to cook. Overall, good pizza. I'd for sure come back. read more

We always enjoy the pizza from Papa Passero, we will continue to enjoy the pizza for years to come. God bless- Kelsey Y

Just another pizza place in my area that I needed to try. I ordered a thin crust pizza for take out. The sausage pieces are big and the cheese was decent. What I didn't like was the pizza sauce. It honestly tasted like pasta sauce and it wasn't cutting it for me, it tasted too bland. I'll be going elsewhere for my pizza needs. read more

Observations on carry-out order so can not comment on atmosphere, service, etc. of the restaurant. **Chicken Noodle Soup** should be named "Carrot & Celery" soup as there was literally a tiny bite of chicken with a couple noodles, was severely lacking in flavor and top was ridiculously covered in so much parsley! **Broasted Chicken Dinner** I have to say we have been coming here for years just for the chicken albeit rarely due to distance and this last order was sadly dismal at best compared to the past. We received breasts that had burst, literally making them chicken jerky vs the succulent chicken that broasted is supposed to be. They never should have allowed them to leave the kitchen. Dark meat was "fine" at best but something has changed and it was not as tasty as it used to be. **Sides** again were "fine" but not nearly as good as they used to be and i don't know what they are trying to pass off as "gravy" for the mashed potatoes but it was (and I hesitate to use this word, but it was) vile. Might try going one more time to eat in the restaurant, but that's questionable - so sad! read more

I have loved everything from this establishment up until this evening. I really just want to review the service but YELP is limiting me from in- selecting the food category. So just to be clear I am only commenting on SERVICE. Apparently they DBA as Papa Ps on Door Dash. This evening I placed an order ~7pm and they cancelled it nearly an hour later. Then I discovered they are Papa Passeros which I couldn't believe! I have loved the food & service ( especially the Broasted Chicken) in the past so IDK on what's going on now ‍. Good service can make or break you. read more

A completely fantastic experience! We secured a private room to celebrate my father's 90th birthday! With 12 great grandchildren the game room was a big hit. To top it off the food was even better! We got the party package, which was delightful! Diego was our host and did a fantastic job meeting all of our needs. read more

Like this place, but with how busy they get for takeout, they really need to upgrade their order services to give you a true ETA of when your food will be ready. Been stuck in the lobby waiting 30mins or more a few times now. This place is packed and does great business, no excuse not to give a realistic ETA for order pickup readiness. read more

Just ordered First in a long time Italian sub sandwich Sucks Grew up in Cicero Not Italian!!!!!!!! Sweet pickle! WTF GONE!!!! read more

Had the buffet.. food was ok, but the pizza wasn't the best. The only really good part was the Cream of Chicken soup. Probably not coming back. read more

Always great pizza great food very fast. Picked up warm pizza. Been going here for years one of the best in the area.

The Food was excellent. The service was great... The buffet was wonderful!! Highly recommend the pizza.. thin crust or deep dish!

Great food, the buffet on Sunday is an amazing deal. Great service, great atmosphere, and I got to play some slots with my elderly mother after lunch. read more

Great place for parties, family dinner, just drinks, etc. They have it all and great staff! Highly recommend and a newly remodeled arcade! Gluten-free items too! Great fried chicken, salads, nachos, etc! Too much to list! read more

My family has been going here for decades, though hadn't been here in years. Nothing has changed - not even the very worn carpet. Good pizza, but rude staff. Pizza was good and very cheesy, but asked for thin crust and it was at least medium. Server was rude, uncaring, and seldom around. If you can put up with the staff, the pizza may be worth it. read more

Good news you can now VAPE at all Laura's locations...people were vaping when I visited the establishment and I was told it was OK to do that!! What's next for Fairview location and Cass location along with the Papa Passero's location. read more

Please note this review is during COVID time. Called to place an order for pick up. Call was answered within 1 ring. Person who took order was friendly. Wait time for pickup was about 20 min which is very reasonable for a Saturday afternoon. Their pizza comes in 3 thicknesses so I chose the medium thickness. I ordered the Italian beef as a topping. Although tasty, I felt there was not much beef on the pizza. I had ordered a Italian beef and giardinara pizza from here in the past it which was good. I ordered wings as well that were delicious. (A little greasy but lots of meat) read more

Kid friendly place. I take my kids there because of the arcade. Pizza is average but not bad and not expensive. Buffalo wings above average. read more

I was given a strong recommendation to come here as they have been touted to have amazing Pizza! Came on my lunch break and the lady behind the counter said it would be 5 minutes as there was a fresh pizza coming out. Fresh pizza absolutely is the best :-)! Not a problem, but after 5 minutes she tells me I'm so sorry , but they have yet to put the pizza in and it will be another 18 minutes. Problem is I only get 30 minutes for lunch and it takes me 5 minutes to drive to go back and forth. Needless to say, I walked out hungry, without Pizza, and a bad taste in my mouth as to how a business can run out of pizza when they sell by the slice . Maybe I just came at a bad time or what not, sadly I will not return. read more

We ordered delivery from here last week. It had been a while so we went with our usual, which is an order of 20 wings and 2 orders of broasted potatoes. I almost choked when the woman on the phone gave me the total. It was $50!!! As much as we love the wings, we will definitely be finding a new place. The price increase is outrageous!! read more

Food is decent. I have attended and also had an event scheduled in one of their party rooms. Both times the experience was very favorable. They were fantastic to work with when booking a party with them service was excellent the food very good and the value exceptional. I also attended a graduation party and a wedding shower there as well And those went well as well. We do enjoy their buffets, although we don't usually get there too often but I would like to make it a more routine habit as there lunch and dinner buffets, as well as their Sunday. Brunch is a very good deal for what you get if you ever need to book a party these people will make your experience very pleasurable and ensure that you were booking goes smoothly. read more

Pizza was good. Chicken was dry but all the other sides were very good . Service was good. Ambiance was typical for a family pizza restaurant. read more

I've been here a couple of times. This is Family Joynt. Sporty bar. It has old and dark decor but I like their food. Good calamari, tentacles and lightly breaded yummy. Cooked perfectly not rubbery at all. I would come here for the pizza thin crust is the way to go! We got the Loaded pizza, mushroom sausage pepperoni onions green peppers. Pizza came out pipping hot! Gooey cheese and full of flavor from the meats to the other toppings. I was surprise that it was still warm even when we were done and asked for a to go box! They had a buffet dinner but we didn't like what we saw. They have different rooms that you can rent for parties. They need to change up the decor, it looks old and outdated. They have a lot of flat screen TVs around the main dinning/bar area to watch your favorite Chicago sport teams. If you're in the area and want good quality pizza and you don't care much on how the place looks, come here and dine in or take out. I'd go back here again. read more

The pizza is good if you like a ton of cheese. The American Sub is a ham sandwich. And the beef sandwich is small. The bread they use is really good. Make sure you have your order read back to you when you order so there are no mistakes. Plural. read more

I ordered the pizza of the month tonight, it was just meh . I wanted to order some appy hour apps being as the inside was closed..I was told that they're not offering that because the inside is closed maybe it's just me but a $60 bill just dropped to $11. I would rethink that offer due to the fact that the inside is CLOSED! Make the money where you can IMO . read more

I have ordered take out from here since the Pandemic. I really enjoy their mostaccioli with meat sauce! I have not tried anything else because I always want this dish since pasta is a treat for me. I am betting their others pasta dishes are equally delicious. read more

If you like buffets for a cheap price that have pizza, tacos, Italian beef, pasta, chicken, salad and desserts then your in luck! There is an arcade room for kids! Great place to watch a game. I will definitely be back for some drinks and pizza! Plenty of TV's and no frills grub! Great atmosphere, good price, great service! read more

Very good pizza! Friendly staff too. Been there about 4 times, I've only had the pizza and garlic bread so far, but I'm sure the rest is very good too. They'll do large parties if you notify them in advance. They have TVs throughout for watching any sporting events. read more

Veteran walks into the restaurant. Walks up to the bar for a refreshing beverage. Barkeep was dissatisfied with a vertical Military I.D and turned him away. Unfortunate to consider this a "welcoming family establishment". When prompted Barkeep to look at Military I.D, was shooed away due to the lack of "horizontal" placement. Hopefully this will be a useful statement for ownership to remind waitstaff of the importance of accepting Veteran customers. read more

This place is an amazing mainstay and if you haven't tried it, you are doing yourself a disservice!!! Keep being amazing!!!

Pizza is good. But i ordered for take out, then waited AN HOUR for them to Make a small sausage pizza. read more

The broasted chicken was amazing. I didn't care for the pizza. Some kind of cheese they used on top make it taste bitter and had a weird smell. The service was bad too. I had to flag the server down every time we needed something. Not sure if we will return. read more

New the neighborhood and wanted to try a local pizza spit to see what they had to offer. Papa Passero's did not disappoint! Our food was hot and fresh. It was the best tasting pizza my boyfriend and I have had in a while. They also have a pretty good variety of menu options ranging from apps to deserts. I don't think i'm going to be trying any other pizza places for a while. read more

Great food, and the Passero family has been historically great to their community! We love the buffet. Highly recommend!
