    How they serve their fried mushrooms
    Greg E.

    I've been going to pizza villa for 25 years on and off. The lights in there are as dark as ever. The thin crust is good. The sausage is better than others. We started with the fried mushrooms. They were very good, but the pack of ranch was extremely lame in my opinion. Pizza was good. Had the sausage, pepperoni and mushroom. I have to say that the service is consistently lackluster. None of them seem to want to be there. That's ashamed, because attitudes like that drive businesses into the ground. This place can be good again. I liked it, but it will be a while before I go back.

    Iconic, Midwest dive

    Did you even visit home if you didn't go to Pizza Villa? Listen, I know a woman who won't eat in any other restaurant BUT Pizza Villa. This is a classic, Illinois suburb stop for me and my fam. The bread nuggets and pizza are incredible. The service is always a little awkward, the beer is always a little flat. It's all a part of the experience. If you're looking for a place with a real 90s vibe you absolutely must stop here! Super photogenic place, would be awesome for a photo shoot. My partner went here as a kid and my nephews love all the things he loved - magical, dingy game room with rock hard candy and a clown that does flips. If you're used to big city pizza, expensive glasses of wine, and are tired of the pretense... Pizza Villa is your spot. Wholesome, midwestern, homey. And the food is good! When we're home in Arizona sometimes we just look at each other like, "damn, don't you wish you had bread nuggets from Pizza Villa right now?"

    My doctor says I swallow a lot of aggression.... Along with a lot of pizzas. Not being to this place in many years, I was very happy. The cracker-like crust was impressive and they aren't shy with the cheese. I highly recommend ordering your pie well done. We grabbed a medium SMO and it was delicious. They had a sale on Bud Light so I was really happy! We had a group of twelve. Some of our party have had a tendency to be a bit rough on servers, and the young woman that had our table was terrific! Keep up the strong work.

    Their meat sauce is delicious and I am addicted to their beer nuggets. Service in the dining room AND take out is always friendly.

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.

We went for dinner on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and it was relatively empty (as expected after the holiday weekend).

Nowhere in the menu did it say it was spicy but my wife and I still liked it a lot. Packed a good punch but it wasn't unbearable. It was nice and crispy as well and they were fairly big. You also get 6 in an order. I ordered the Athena and it was very tasty! The crust was really thin and the dough was cooked just right. Not so soft but also not very firm! Every bite had a great amount of topping so you weren't just biting into one topping or not at all. As for the cheese pizza, it was decent. Not a ton of flavor happening and was honestly surprised their house red sauce was pretty mild in flavor. My wife might try the Bianca next time but isn't sure how she would feel about the ricotta cheese. Overall, it was a great experience! The place was well lit and very clean. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was still very delicious despite the cheese pizza being just ok. We'll definitely come back again!

Ambiance is "steakhouse chic" - nice and dark, not too loud, romantic in a booth. It wasn't too busy when we stopped in late on Sunday and we were greeted and seated in a nice, quiet booth. Two pieces of bread were brought out with a nice salted butter. I went with their 9 ounce Filet Mignon, medium rare, with sautéed spinach, while my wife had their Chicken and Artichoke meal with mixed vegetables. I ordered their Caesar salad with anchovies (you have to ask for them). The Caesar salad was just wonderful, with plenty of salty anchovy goodness present. My wife ordered their chop salad, but they'd run out of that, so she got a house salad instead - and yes, the server did inform us of the switch and made a cost adjustment without being asked. A high point of Ellwood is an above-average wine list. We tried a new cabernet which was good. The wine bottle was opened by the server without it touching the table - nicely done! The steak was cooked properly, and was oh so tender. Very nicely seasoned. The sautéed spinach was perfect - plenty of garlic. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her dish. Dinner was so good, any thoughts of dessert were abandoned. We had wine left over, so they put that in the right sealed bag with a receipt so it could be legally transported. Great service, nice, elegant location, great food.
