Great bartender took order of one extra pepperoni sans cheese and one traditional pepperoni and cheese. "I'll be back in 20. Should I pay before I leave? No thats fine." Back 20 mins later a bit more crowded and pizzas ready to go. Ambience of space is not my vibe because I dislike the electronic gaming. Thats a me thing On way out chef/owner/dude.."I killed that one pizza with pepperoni." He did indeed. Happiness all around. Great sauce, amazing crust (soft so if you want crispy give them an alert) perfect amount of cheese and toppings. Great job!

Prefaced with I've never been to Illinois till earlier this week, ergo unaware of quality and what restaurants people will keep going through patronage, I have spent the last few days checking out restaurants on Yelp. Noticed this was a surprisingly highly rated spot, even though the photos didn't look that great. Through ordering online , placed an order for a small pan pizza , not realizing (isn't listed on their website) that adding any toppings is 1.25$ more each; like a 23$ small pizza. It appears the pizza had its toppings put after the sauce, and cheese on top, leaving an unsatisfying appearance and feeling I would've needed to order "extra cheese" to get a normal pizza. The exterior of the crust was hard, like baked too high of a temp for too long, and crunched like a cracker with the dough being dense and flavorless. The "beef roll" appeared to be their small dough folded over into a 12"x8" rectangle and cut into 1"x3" long pieces , and dusted with an Italian seasoning. Thin shaved beef inside, opted for pepperoni in it too. It was alright, again the crust put me off, the au jous that comes with it was watery and bland, and for 20.50$, felt like an overpay. Personally I like getting boneless wings with pizza, so opted for a dozen of those for us. Limited flavors , went with "hot", which was no hotter than Franks red hot. If they were fried, they steamed inside their foil and styrofoam container, and were received soggy and soft. Nothing noteworthy on taste or experience there.. beyond the 16.75$ charge, making each quarter-sized piece like 1.40$ each All in all impression: overpriced. I wouldn't go back, and if this is the best rated pizza in town, think I won't be going out for pizza around here the duration of my trip, least it be overpriced for mediocre food again.

They had a $10 beef sandwich special that day and the size of that sandwich was enormous! I opted for the lil grilled cheese and I had to try the mozzarella sticks. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. The cheese sticks were very good but I could only eat one and a half. I had to focus on the amazingly delicious, gooey, greasy, cheesy grilled cheese mmm mmmm mmmm! Yes that is a good sandwich. It is a small menu and not a lot of choices for vegetarians. I like the place though. It is tiny and cute. Firefighter decor. It used to be a little house and it was converted to a restaurant. It has a full service bar as well. Lots of friendly locals.

There's usually no food except when someone brings something in for a party. At first it looks like a house. It used to be one. This is the kind of place everyone stares at you as you come in, which isn't surprising because it's like coming through someone's front door when everyone is in the living room. Cheap basic beer such as Bud. It's about $3 for the cheapest cocktail. The food menu is limited but they have chips and sometimes meaty options like chili and pork. Has a few TVs but can only see these on one side of the bar. The place is small so it can easily be crowded. Get the basic cheap beer and liquor at this tiny ass bar.
