    I ordered food for pick-up through the super easy to use website. When I arrived, my food was ready to go at the designated time. The flavors-yummmmm! I will definitely be back!

    Ben Hur vegan style

    I have to give good stars for a newer restau offering a full vegan offering!! Many thanks! I went with the Ben Hur and subbed vegan mozz and added vegan sausage. I asked and confirmed it is not Impossible nor Beyond brand, but a proprietary blend per the employee. The sausage was superb. The mozz like many vegan cheeses devolved but it was still a great vegan effort and I am grateful. The pesto I presume was plant based because she said they withheld the parm that normally comes in it. Suoerb friendly service and such a darling decor. I sat outside and enjoyed the 77 degree weather. Perfect! For other reviewers- one should know the difference between american pizza and pinsa and set appropriate expectations, before you review.

    Always our stop when we're in Bloomington. Amazing pizzas, extremely friendly people. Still wish they'd open in East Tennessee. We'll be back next time we're visiting our daughter.

    In town for a hockey game and found the absolute best pizza around. This is truly the best crust and the toppings were the perfect amount. You can also tell they use very high quality ingredients. We were helped and explained the menu when we walked in the door. The service and attention to detail is top notch and the restaurant was clean and very well kept. I highly recommend.

    Stopped on a roadtrip from Chicago to St. Louis, at a friend's recommendation. It was worth jogging a bit off the highway to try our first Pinsaria! The pinsa was amazing, especially the crust. They had great toppings and excellent service. Our little kids loved it too! Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for great pizza and a family-friendly environment.

    we got 3 8" pizza

    Great customer service! Live learning the history of an authentic place that's been around a while. Got to hear about the crust and the championships this recipe has won! Lots of authentic pizzas - tried the pesto, the 4 cheese and the pancetta with honey(my fav). the place was super cute and looked brand new (clean). The manager was very nice, the outside seating was very nice as well! a little pricey but well worth it. Will be back to try their desserts !

    Went here for the first time and was so impressed! It's really good pizza and also super friendly and kind staff working there. They also have very good coffee. And it was very clean and clean bathrooms. So I highly recommend it here and will be coming back. Thanks for the great service

    I absolutely loved my dining experiences at the Original Pinsaria in Bloomington. Each pizza I ordered during two back-to-back visits were phenomenal. Fresh ingredients topped one of the best pizza crusts I've ever had. And what made my day was that everything I ordered was vegan. No issues trying to negotiating my order to get substitutions, they have several vegan options on their menu. Just an outstanding experience from head to toe. My first experience was so great, I brought five friends back in with me the next day for dinner. Everyone loved their order. If you haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out. I haven't found a better pizza place in Bloomington/Normal. The Original Pinsaria is simply great. Great service, great food and great (and very, very clean) interior. They have excellent outdoor seating as well. You will not be disappointed. The prices are right too.

    This is their four cheese pizza with the Gorgonzola. I added a balsamic glaze drizzle. It's a balsamic reduction that is amazing.

    A little pricey but some of the best pizza in Bloomington-Normal in terms of (vegan) options, dough, freshness, and overall taste.

    @Brooke I checked the Pinsaria website with their own nutritional charts. It said they were updated May 2020 but they are totally blank. That's why I was confused. I just wanted to input the data into my WW app like I do with other local places.?

    It's a local restaurant so I doubt you will be able to find the nutritional information in any calorie/macro counting app. I suggest using a nutritional information from a similar pizza restaurant, such as Plaze Bizza.

    An absolutely excellent Italian experience, Valentino's impressed on every level. Fantastic food,…read moregreat value for the portions, highly engaged service staff, and a boldness of flavors above expectations. Our table had a host of appetizers including the Meatball Ricotta, Shrimp Oreganata, Fried Provolone, and Calamari. The meatball was absolutely enormous (enough for four to share easily), and was very well balanced by the sauce and creamy ricotta it was served upon. My personal favorite was the calamari though, which was a combination of the rings and tentacles perfectly salted and fried until delightfully crispy. Don'f forget to dunk those in the sauce they provided! For entrees, I tried a little bit of the dry aged pork chop (super smoky, immaculately tender, and subtly sweet), but the chicken piccata, was the star of the show for me. Refreshingly bright from the lemon, salty capers, and marinated artichokes, the dish was savory and refreshing when paired with the crispy fried potatoes. So good, and I think the best chicken piccata I've ever had! The tiramisu and lemoncello cake were big hits at the table, but the creme brûlée was so simple yet perfectly sweet and smooth that it would definitely be my go-to choice next time. You truly cannot go wrong at this place, and would certainly make an excellent date or celebration location that I'd recommend in a heartbeat.

    New Italian restaurant in Ottawa in the 100 block of W Main Street…read more Reservations are two days in advance but the walk up on a Saturday was about a 45 (and that's a long estimate) minute wait at the great bar !! Started off with some great draft beers $5 for a Yungling pint and an $18 bourbon flight that my husband raved about. After a bit of a wait but with drinks !! We got a table and since we had looked at the menu at the bar we were ready to order. (You could order food at the bar too we just chose not to as we were in no rush) We got a loaf of fresh bread that came with olive oil for dipping that had some chili flakes in it that gave it a bit of a zing. (My only thing is that it would have been nice to have some Parmesan to shake into it to give it a bit of body beyond just oil). But all in all it was yummy. Onto our main courses. I got the shrimp and calamari Diablo. And yes. It's hot. Spicy and also temperature from the kitchen. But the flavor was amazing and it was full of calamari rings and the little tentacles and some really good sized shrimps too and the linguini was so good. The sauce you could tell was fresh and full of tomato chunks. The husband got chicken shrimp and sausage carbonara. Again full of flavor and meat and peas and delicious pasta. Oh and dessert was two home made cannoli with the pistachios on the ends and the best not too sweet cream inside. For our two meals and two glasses of house red blend ($5 each) it was 80.00. It was plenty of food to make two fat kids very happy. The servers were very nice. The bartenders were friendly as they were super hopping. All in all we will Be back to try more dishes as they all looked great coming out of the kitchen. This is a great date night spot and something new and different than your normal burger, pizza or bar food kinda place. Try it. You will want to come back !!!

    Review Visit: May 18th, 2012…read more Noodles & Good Company. On our way to Bloomington for a concert, my dad, Matt and I needed some food. We wanted to make sure we had enough food in us before we rocked out to some music for a few hours. I didn't have a particular place in mind but I did ask if anyone wanted to try a place on my list of places... to try. Somehow we ended up picking Noodles & Company. Noodles & Company is one of those places that I had seen a ton of advertisements for, but never had the chance to visit due to none being in my town. I had no idea what to expect and was slightly disappointed with the menu offerings. Nothing really sounded appealing on the menu. I can usually find something worth wanting to order but not at this particular time. Maybe it was my mood, my appetite, or some other cosmic forces at work but nothing sounded good except for a meatball sub, which I am indifferent on. The three of us placed our orders, sat down, and waited. It didn't take long before we had our food. My dad and Matt ordered a soup of some sorts. I looked at my meatball sub and thought that it just didn't look appealing. But, not one to let my apprehension get in the way of eating perfectly okay food, I dug in. It... wasn't bad. For not expecting much, the sandwich was pretty decent. After a few bites, my appetite worked it's way over to accepting what I was eating and was okay with it. As I finished, I asked how my dad and Matt were enjoying their meals. I got a very 'eh' response from both of them. I would be willing to try Noodles & Company again should I be with someone who wants to go. They do have a good-sized menu with plenty of stuff to pick from, it's just not a place that I find on my radar. Go there yourself and see if its a place that your appetite finds more appealing.
