Didn't taste as good as it used to and it was 27.00 for one large pizza. I won't be ordering from here anymore.

The food is always hot and fresh, they are friendly and efficient. I love getting pizza from here rather than some fast food pizza.

Great pizza! A little better than Rosati's and reminiscent of it. Sweeter sauce and better ingredients

We recently held our son's rehearsal dinner here, and unfortunately, I was very disappointed with…read morehow our event was handled. I want to start with the positives: the food was excellent, and our server, Sam, and the bartender (I believe her name was Brooke) worked incredibly hard. They were pleasant, helpful, and truly did the best they could. My frustration is not with them at all--they were simply given far too much to handle. Neither was dedicated to our event. Sam was serving our party AND other customers in the restaurant, and the bartender was also responsible for our group and the rest of the restaurant. It took approximately 45 minutes for everyone at our rehearsal dinner to receive their first drink. The staff was stretched so thin that I found myself putting food out and bussing tables during my son's rehearsal dinner. When we arrived, there weren't even enough tables and chairs set up for our guests, so our family helped set those up as well. What was especially frustrating is that we paid an additional fee for an event coordinator, as well as a fee to use the space. I'm still unclear about what those fees actually provided. I would have expected an event coordinator to make sure the space was ready, adequate staff was scheduled, and the event ran smoothly. That was not our experience. I initially chose not to leave a public review because I wanted to give management the opportunity to address my concerns directly. I emailed them after the event explaining our experience and received no response. I resent the email twice and still received no acknowledgment or response. That lack of communication is ultimately what prompted me to share our experience publicly. Again, the food was excellent and Sam and Brooke deserve recognition for working so hard. But for a special event that included additional charges for the space and event coordination, I expected a much higher level of planning, staffing, service, and follow-up.

Best place to go in Sycamore for drinks along with some pizza of course. If your idea of a party is…read morepigging out on pizza, while combining it with suds and cocktails, then this is the place for it. Pizza Beer Whiskey explains the entire menu it seems. Has a pretty large amount of basic and gourmet toppings to choose from. The prices are higher than the crap chains but it's much better tasting. Always busy. It's a pretty good sign that people like to come here. This is located pretty close to NIU so obviously the name is pretty easy to understand for even the thickest skulled of frat boys and other college students. A few words to get their attention. Have to speak the language of the locals. A crap ton of local beers. It's about $8 a pint. Splurge a bit more for some finely aged whiskey. It's about $18 for a medium pizza. That's kind of a lot but this isn't mass produced chain pizza though. Also you can get it with vegan cheese. This melts like the real stuff. We got one of the Sergeant Pepper pizzas New York style. Filling. This comes with arugula, black olives, cherry tomatoes, green peppers, mozzarella but we got the vegan substitute, mushrooms, and onions. Big enough for a couple. They have even bigger ones that are expensive but are good for parties. Crazy place for tons of good drinking and eating. It's located on West State Street. There's good options for meat eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians.

One sausage and one pepperoni and sausage. What does this idiot do? 1/2 sausage on the one and half pepperoni and half sausage on the others. Next it's the two 20 piece boneless wing and we ordered Xtra Hot sauce. See the picture, we got extra ranch. Um. The kicker was when my wife was giving the credit card number and the expiration was October. He says, that's 05 isn't it? Not to mention that this time the pizzas were cut in big diamond shapes and not the regular squares. I suppose that's better than the last time we ordered which the pizza was not cut at all. Oh and this time the sauce was bland. Why? No spices on the pizza. So it pretty much sucked all the way around. And the diet Coke they brought was warm. Warm! A couple of times ago, the driver marked us as delivered, but it wasn't. I went back and forth trying to figure out where my pizzas were. He cleared his cue by accident so everyone he had orders for were all marked as delivered. Then had to ask me for a pen for me to sign the ticket and almost walked off with the pen. Food used to be good here. Service was too. Now it's gone south. I see the other store has just as bad reviews in Dekalb. Not going back. I liked Vinny's, but their sauce was too sweet. Love Giordano's but they are more expensive than these idiots. I can't do Little Sleazers or Dominos here. Pizza Hut is greasy. Love Lord Stanley but it's non delivery. We'll just keep looking for the holy grail.
