I love eating at Tree Guys! What's not to love with great food and friendly service! My favorite is the Margarita pizza. I enjoy the summertime eating out on the patio with the ladies. It's a perfect spot to celebrate our birthdays and I love how the patio lights up at night. read more

Tree Guys you just lost an Itasca customer. I ordered a medium Pizza with sausage, mushroom, onion and extra cheese. The total came out to $26.26. The size of a medium sure isn't like it used to be. Toppings were extremely skimpy - I counted 5 mushrooms. The extra cheese I ordered didn't happen. The taste of the pizza was bland and subpar. I wouldn't eat this pizza if the cost were free. Tree Guys Pizza isn't the great tasting pizza it used to be. We will never go back. read more

Walked in at 4 pm on a thursday, no open spots at the bar and If a table was open there were reserve signs everywhere. Don't waste your time going here read more

Went here yesterday with 2 lady friends. The venue is clean and comfortable, service ok, and food very good. I had an eggplant sandwich and upgraded french frys to a salad for an extra dollar. The servings of cole slaw are huge. They offer daily specials and my sandwich was only $7 with a big salad and cole slaw. You can choose from many types of bread. The menu selection is large and I would come back here. Great value veey good food. read more

When people at my office want to go out to lunch together, this is a typical favorite. Located in beautiful downtown Itasca, IL, Tree Guys is located in an old building retrofitted as a restaurant. I would classify them as Italian - they are known for pizza and pasta, but have more traditional Chicago fare, salads, hot wings, etc. So, the selection is large. I've been there a few times and have tried their burgers, chicken sandwich and wings. During my visit last week I tried their burger for the first time. It is served on a regular hamburger bun, with lettuce, tomato and onion. You have a choice of side and I chose their home made potato chips. The burger was very good. Made perfectly medium, it was grilled and very juicy. The chips were also very good - they were not greasy and were not overly salty like so many chips are. The place is kind of a dump though. My impression is that it is clean, but it looks like it has not been redecorated since the 1950s. Perhaps that's how they keep their prices in line. But, discounting the appearance, the food is good and the prices fair. The service is also very good and this helps make the experience a good one. read more

Tree guys is one of my favorite spots. I can't wait for summer time and restaurants to be open again so I can enjoy some of their delicious pizza on their awesome patio! I'm so glad we can order take out while the shelter in place is in effect. If you haven't ordered from them yet you should and support a great local business! read more

This is a small restaurant/bar located close to the Itasca train station. We came here for lunch and I chose the buffet option. If I'm visiting a place for the first time I like to choose the buffet so I can get a feel for a lot of the offerings the place has in one visit. It is affordable, about 8-9 bucks. We sat outside on the patio but they do offer seating inside. It can get kinda cramped inside with booth seating along the window, a row of tables in the middle and the buffet in front of the cashier counter. They had pizza, pasta, sandwiches and salad. I had a little of everything and was somewhat satisfied. We go to a lot of places around work and this was my first time being here. It wasn't bad and I would consider coming again considering the price and selection was decent. read more

This place is really awesome. From the friendly service to the amazing food. I eat pizza often. I even make my own pizza a few times a month. Rarely does pizza impress me. But, this pizza did impress. For sure will be back for more! Their chicken wings, also amazing. Better than I've had in probably a year or more! Pasta also great! First time here and will surely be back soon! read more

The food was wonderful. Unfortunately the server not so much. The server decided to add her own tip to my bill. Check your receipts and keep a copy if you do go here. read more

My husband & I just finished dinner and went to pay the bill using a coupon and because we had "specials" we couldn't use any of the coupons, not even the $3.00 one which could have been applied to our NON-special items which totaled over $35.00. I asked our server if I ordered everything EXCEPT special items I could have used the coupon & she said yes. So, we spent $52.47 and couldn't even get $3.00 off? Again, my first & last time visiting. Also, since we sat in plain sight of the ice well, we witnessed at least 3 of the girls working at the bar use a GLASS GLASSES to scoop up ice from the ice well, as well as the bartender with the long blonde hair dump ice back into the well after chilling a draft beer glass. My husband being a bartender himself and I knowing the health department regulations know that is NOT allowed. Yes, I'm a bit upset with the coupon issue, but even more so at the disregard for heath department regulations. If this is allowed in the front of the house, makes you wonder what happens in the back. Also I went to email this same info and the message bounced back undeliverable using their "contact" link so I know it wasn't a typo. read more

The wait staff is attentive. The food is good. I recommend their pizza and ribs. The restaurant is clean and a good atmosphere. It's a great place to hang with friends. read more

Erica is the best bartender! She is so quick and anticipates your beverage needs. 10/10 bartender

Hate posting this as we are regulars here but had a horrible experience tonight. 7:30 pm and no food! Even after they brought the pizza stand (obviously knowing we ordered food) I I stated we will order more drinks because we haven't received our food yet and the server gave me a bad look for saying it. And then they came over and told us our dinner will be right out. Then told us, after we questioned, that our order got mixed up during a shift change??!! Whatever! DO NOT RECOMMEND! The manager there should not be managing any restaurant. Pains me to post this. And yet still charged us for drinks. We won't go back there. Ordered pizza from somewhere else and now finally eating at 8:45. read more

Tree Guys is a family owned business in itasca, Illinois!! I can't say enough positive comments about this restaurant and bar! I have always loved going there for dinner or a night out... BUT the other night we had my daughter's birthday gathering, and everything was perfect!! Cassie is very thorough when arranging the details of the party and was there as well!! Our server..Ariana was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much tree guys! read more

Tree Guys is starting to become a habit. Why? 1) TWO Church Street Brews on-tap along with a few other good craft brews. 2) Very good food. Had the Cajun Chicken Slammers special on Saturday and it was delicious. The food has been consistently good since we re-discovered Tree Guys. 3) Great daily drink specials. Example: Saturdays are $3 "You Call It". Now you're talkin'! 4) Prices that won't break the pocket book. read more

This is an interesting place, but I'm a fan. It's a weird mix between nice Italian restaurant and dive bar/towny restaurant, if that makes sense. First, I'll review the restaurant. When you walk in the door, don't stand there like an idiot waiting for someone to seat you (that's what I did my first time and everyone was staring at me). You have to go up to the counter and someone will seat you from there. The food is really good. The cheeseburger sliders are awesome. They kind of taste like butterburgers but they are really delicious. I have yet to try their pasta or pizza, but I'm sure it's good. They really know how to cook their food well. Their chicken parmasan is great. They know how to bread it well so that you're not eating all bread and no chicken. I would also recommend getting the sandwich version of this. You will not regret it. My dad didn't like their ribs, but c'mon, who orders ribs at an Italian restaurant? Now the bar. I go here for Thursday night football since the bar has NFL network (score!). You can eat dinner at the bar instead of the restaurant. They have about 10 beers on tap and a full bar. As far as the environment? If you didn't know that it was part of Tree Guys, you would think this is a regular dive bar, and I guess it is. A lot of locals come here. There are also the usual drinking-since-10am guys who like to argue with fans of opposing teams, just for the hell of it. Who argues a Jets/Broncos game? Townies. It's funny to hear. If you want to sit, it may be difficult to find seats, but they'll free up eventually. I've seen kids here too. I don't really think you should bring kids to a bar, especially for their birthday, but hey, do what you gotta do. Overall, this place is good. Just don't go to the bar for a nice cocktail. For that, go sit in the restaurant. read more

A nice little Pub on the area. Unfortunately no drinks available in the restaurant area. The pizza however was delicious. Service was great and very attentive. Would definitely return for the pizza. read more

Thought we would stop in before we went to Church Street Brewery. We arrived just after two. We entered from the back which could have been the front. It was a little confusing. We saw the huge lunch buffet that everyone talks about. Two ladies behind the buffet called to us and said we could sit anywhere. I would say service is "cold" and not welcoming. They were serving indoors and in the patio. Maybe short staffed. But it didn't stop a "sit down" with someone I assumed as the owner and a family member regarding legal problems. My review is based on the food. If service had been welcoming, this experience would have been a four. We could not try the buffet for $7.95 because it ended at 2pm. Hubs ordered a burger and I ordered linguine w white clam sauce. Dinner salad to start. Hubs wanted an Arnold Palmer but they couldn't do it at the time bc they had no unsweetened ice tea. He had water. They have Pepsi products. I ordered diet Pepsi. When we ordered food, our server asked "fries or chips". My hubs asked what do u suggest which was met w awkward silence and kind of an eye roll. WTH?! So. I don't think we will dine in anymore. I may order pizza for pick up to eat at our favorite brewery nearby. read more

It may only be Tree Guys, but it's 5 stars in my book. This was the destination of our November NW Suburban Dinner group. I selected it based on Renita M's recommendation and we certainly found a great place. Before we even got here, I wasn't sure how things would work out, as they don't do reservations on Tuesdays because they are so busy thanks to the 2-for-1 pizza special that day. Well, after talking to one of the Tree Guys, Anthony, I got there early to stake out a spot and to my pleasant surprise, they had a series of tables joined to accommodate our group. Inside, it's not that big of a dining area but it is not cramped either. There is a fish tank on the counter as you come in. The walls are decorated with an Italian theme throughout the place. As I sat there waiting for the rest of the group to arrive, I was amazed at their diverse menu. It's not just pizza. There's burgers, hot sandwiches, seafood, pasta and all sorts of appetizers, soups and salads. In this idle time, I had to conduct a series of tournament style elimination rounds in my brain as I pitted menu items against each other to decide what to order. Pasta Fagioli soup had no chance against the overpowering might of the 3-meatball sandwich. Likewise, the beef & sausage combo towered over the pasta dishes that I pondered. But in the end, perhaps by an upset, the jalapeno-parmesian burger prevailed, beating out the mushroom-swiss burger in its own division. A real Cinderella story... if Cinderella were a burger patty with all sorts of spicy things on it. I don't think there was a bad thing on their menu. I had some of Alice's calamari appetizer. I also got me some cheesy garlic bread which had a thick layer of melted mozzarella on top. I got a look at Aimee's pasta fagioli and it looked amazing too. My burger was certainly a winner, with a coating of parmesian covering spicy pickled jalapeno slices. And the red onion slices on top packed a potent combination of flavor and heat between the buns. I saved room for dessert and went for the tiramisu, which is my benchmark for Italian restaurants. Definitely big enough for two people, I saved some for home. The flavor was rich and cake-like, not too coffee-ish like at some places. Blooms of whipped cream adorned it from all sides. Service was great the entire night, as we got our food and drinks quickly and the staff took good care of us. Tree Guys is a great place in the heart of Itasca and I certainly will stop back here if I am in the area for lunch or dinner. read more

Tree Guys Pizza Pub - Jalapeno-parmesian burger - Bars Near Me - Itasca, Illinois

I had dinner at Tree Guys tonight with five other woman. A bunch of insurance professionals after an evening meeting looking for a tasty dinner. And that's exactly what we found. We wanted to sit in the dining room, but they were packed and there was nowhere for six of us to sit together. It was a Tuesday evening, so there was plenty of room in the bar. We sat in there. We ordered two large pizzas. Buy one, get one free (up to $12 off) on Tuesdays. This works. Unfortunately, the margarita pizza was over $25. I thought it was a mistake on the bill, but apparently it was right. The pizzas were good. The service was not. At all. Sitting in the bar seemed to mean that since we weren't chugging beers at the actual bar that we didn't deserve attention. Our quick dinner took way too long. From having to ask twice for menus to having to hunt down the waitress for the bill. Then there was some confusion about the drink special. One of the other gals asked about the special. It was a draft beer for $1.50 or something like that. She said that sounded good and ordered one. Her beer came in a bottle. The check came and the beer was $3.25. Obviously we should have said something when the drink special arrived in a bottle rather than a glass. But the waitress obviously misunderstood the original request. Annoying. Overall, I prefer Tree Guys for carryout pizzas. The crust is great, the sauce is nice and there are plenty of toppings in every bite. read more

This was a nice pizza restaurant/pub. I went with my girlfriend and friend and we ordered an XL 2/3 pepperoni 1/3 cheese which they were able to accommodate. This wasnt the best pizza in the world but it was definitely good, and there was plenty too for a reasonable price. Fast service and a nice bar on the other side too with good drinks. read more

We were staying at the Westin in Itasca (3rd weekend in March 2012) but I forgot to leave the review then. However, we wanted something quick and simple...preferably pizza or wings. We initially tried to order from Lou Malnati's but could not get through to place an order, so of course, we went on Yelp. After reading the reviews and seeing what they had to offer, we decided to give it a try. Sholl' hate it! I wish we had waited to get through to our favorite place. :( This review is a combination of customer service and food. I wish we could give "negative" stars...I really do, but 1 will have to suffice. I can't remember the last time I've been treated so shabbily at an establishment. My husband and I drove there...on a Friday evening...in hopes of getting a quick bite to eat. We planned to pick our food up and take it back to the hotel. When we got there, it was busy (of course) but we were totally ignored to the point where I had to get someone's attentions to even get a menu to look at. No one acknowledged our presence in the least. Walking past, hurrying away, no one spoke, smiled, or inquired if we needed help. We went to stand at the cash register so as to get further information and/or ask question about an item on the menu. I started to speak to one of the ladies on wait staff and she walked away...while I was speaking to her! To make a long (and painfully ridiculous) story short, after much ado, we finally got someone to take our order. We went across the street to Starbucks, got our drinks, drank, dawdled, and dragged back over to pick up our order. When we got back (approx. 20-25 min. later) we had the same issue. We had to "grab" someone's attention to ask about the status of our order. Even after saying it was about to be ready, we still had to wait. At this point, due to the blatant rudeness and disregard, I was annoyed beyond measure, but hated to cancel the order and ask for our money back (plus we were hungry). I wish we had. Once we finally received our order, there was nothing remarkable about it. The chicken was bland (and the sauce was not good...major disappointment) and the pizza was so-so...at best. I truly value consideration and customer interaction, even if you are busy. It was inexcusable to be treated like that in an establishment where we spent our money. After reading the reviews, we were looking forward to experiencing food from some place different. Although the food was nothing to write home about, the service (or lack thereof) left a sour taste in our mouths, and made it even less enjoyable. So you want my honest opinion? I'll give it to you. Combined with the horrific customer service, too-long wait, sub-par food, I feel like we wasted time...and money, and have no desire to go back...ever. read more

We ordered the deep dish pizza and it was horrible. Crust was hard as a rock and very dry. It seemed like the crust had been frozen. Bacon on the pizza was tuff and tasted old. Cheese was chewy and tough and I almost choked on it several times. It was Awful!!! read more

Ordered delivery n the food was ok. Wings were chewy n not that great, cheese bread sticks were cold, the burger was really good from what my bf said. Overall it was ok I would try it again, but going there not ordering for delivery! read more

I was brought here under duress, and I'm so glad because had I known the food was going to hit it out of the park I would have been a much more willing hostage. The food was wonderful. And so was the service. This little spot is sort of a pizza place/sports bar rolled up into one, very comfy, and a nice place to relax. I get a kick out of a man who, occasionally, likes to live dangerously and order for me. Tree Guys brings out the mellow in you. We loved the veggie with garlic thick crust. Despite being a "thin" fan, I really loved the thick crust ... seemed like it had an additional infusion of garlic, so the more the merrier. We waited a bit, but no problem. That gave me time to snoop at what the rest of the folks were engulfed in. The burgers looked phenomenal and a few of the pasta entrees I saw looked like something I would definitely get the next time. And next time there shall be. There is much to be said about finding little neighborhood joints that go the extra mile in flavor and food because there is always an additional silver lining: the price! Tanks a lot, Tree Guys. Molto bene! read more

Since being the first to review Tree Guys (two updates ago), we've been back many times and also gotten carryout a number of times. Yes, we live quite close by, but there are a lot of restaurants nearby -- and this is one of our favorites. It's hard to go wrong. It's a cute, homey place in a historic building in downtown Itasca, which is rather reminiscent of Mayberry. The staff is friendly and really on top of things and the menu is full of Italian favorites, pizza and comfort-food goodness. Pizza ratings follow, but I have to say that their sandwiches and burgers are quite possibly the real star; some of the best burgers in the burbs and served with house-made chips or hand-cut fries. Deep Dish (four stars): Sauce: Chunky, zippy, not too sweet. Great flavor. 5 stars. Cheese: Not oozing, but plentiful, with a great stretchy cheesy flavor. Yum. 4 1/2 stars. Crust: Eh. Not amazing, needs some buttery-ness, but not bad either. 3 stars. Thin Crust: Bit crispy, plenty of cheese, decent crust. Overall, 4 stars. Thick crust is much the same, but takes a lot longer to cook and has a bready, chewy crust. I'd stick with the deep or thin. read more

My mom loves coming here, we been going here for years. She insists that these are the best wings in the area...Which i cant really agrue, the best wings ive ever had are in Naperville at Crosstown. The wings here are larger compared to their competitors in the area (i.e. wing stop, and bww), and their buffalo sauce is really good. I give thier bbq wings a shot and that was a little disappointing. The sauce lacked flavor and tasted really cheap. The burgers here are good too, and the fries here are awesome, they taste extremely fresh and have the skin on. The pizza is good aswell, but i wouldn't say its a favorite. Ive ordered appetizers before, but im not too crazy about them. Ive made my way over to the bar part of the restaurant and its ok.....one time i went during the day and it was pretty chill with tvs on and a few people there. The other time i went it was jam packed and felt like a high school reunion, i totally hated that and will never return on a weekend night. read more

Stopped in here tonight on the recommendation of my customer. This is a great little place in the city by Taska. They have a restaurant and a bar that are separated by a wall you need to go outside to go between the restaurant and the bar. What is nice is the bar serves bar food. Tonight was $5.25 hamburgers and they had $4 dollar margaritas. They have many TVs in the place to watch whatever game is on. They had three bartenders on staff and two waitresses everybody is getting served extremely fast and the food was good. Great atmosphere good music good people. read more

Tree Guys Pizza Pub - Bars Near Me - Itasca, Illinois

Really disappointed. Food, service and delivery has always been good. But I tried to call at 1030 AM to place order. Learned hours - because of staffing shortage have been cut. So I waited to place my order for delivery and called back at 11:40 AM. Learned that they aren't delivering until 4 PM... Told me that they've tried to get Google to update the hours... But their own website lists they deliver beginning at noon. Go ahead, you tell people who you've recommended the restaurant to in a business environment waiting for lunch "sorry but". Other bar restaurants 5 miles away in the area are still delivering during the day without problems and their websites are up to date. Disappointment is pretty bad but inconvenience and frustration even worse. Not sure when I'll try again. read more

Pizza is pretty good. The rest of the menu is not. My table ordered 4 different sandwiches, all of which were mediocre. All highly saturated in butter and oil. We also tried some appetizers which were not any different in taste. read more

3? 4? 3.5 Stars? I don't even know, I can't decide!! The service was just OK. Our waitress was there...that's about it. Not friendly, not putting forth any more than she had to, just...present. Eh, I've had better in the service department. However, the food was also just "ok" as well. The patio was really nice to sit on on a nice summer evening in June. It was large and spacious and very popular with the locals! I got the pasta with vodka sauce, my daughter got the kid's mac n cheese, and everyone else got pizza. The pizza was ok. That's about the only good thing about the meal. The kid's mac n cheese was Kraft. Good, but not worth the price considering it's $1 for a box. If you're paying that much for mac n cheese at a supposed Italian restaurant, I don't expect it to be out of a box... My pasta came with soup--I tried the pasta e fagioli soup, and it was NOT good. It tasted like bean soup. WAY too heave on the beans, and the broth wasn't that good, either. So the base is bad, the ingredients are bad. I only took about three bites. Luckily, it was free, otherwise I would have been very disappointed! The actual pasta was just ok, too. The vodka sauce wasn't the best, but it was definitely edible. I have my favorite vodka sauce, and this place didn't come close, unfortunately. The pizza was good, though. And I didn't pay, otherwise my review might have been lower! I would come back to try some different things, but not on my own dime ;) read more

Small local sports bar. My friends have been coming here for a while. They have pretty good prices, fun to watch sports and has a homey yet dive bar feel. But other then that this place doesn't really stick out to me. The pizza is supposed to be really good, it's not bad but nothing special. Nothing wrong with this place but if u don't live around here not worth driving to. read more

Keep trying this place and keep being disappointed. The kitchen staff do not know how to read an order. The last 2 times they made my order completely wrong and I only order 2 ingredients on the pizza yet they keep managing to put the wrong 2 ingredients on the pizza. They do not offer you a refund unless you ask nor do they offer you a dessert or anything complimentary for their constant mistakes. Horrible customer service. Also, they did not follow IL covid guidelines as no kitchen staff were wearing masks while they were cooking. read more

As far as pizza goes, this is the best around in the western 'burbs. Ingredients are high quality, and it's delish hot, reheated or cold for pizza breakfast the next day. Thin crust and deep dish are equally good, but I prefer the thin crust since they cut into the little squares. Price is reasonable for the amount of pizza you get, and they have coupons every once in a while too. I can't comment on any of their other food, but pizza is worth a try if you are in the area. read more

Living in Chicago, we have a lot of choices when it comes to Pizza. In the burbs, it's a different story, GOOD pizza places are extremely hard to come by, unless you eat at a chain like Giordonos, or you stumble upon something good. Tree Guys is that stumble upon place. My inlaws eat here every Tuesday for their buy 1 get 1 free deal - that's right...buy one pizza - get another free - no coupon needed. Although we don't go with them every week...we have eaten here quite a few times. Their service is attentive, cute little pizzeria, and a fun bar to grab a few drinks and play darts in the back. Their pizza has some of the freshest ingredients that I have had on a pizza. The crust is crisp and the sauce is not overly sweet ...followed up by just enough cheese. If you're in their neighborhood, try these Tree guys out - you just may be surprised on this little hidden jem. read more

Great Place!! (4.3819661stars) We ordered the Tree Guys Favorite. We all loved it. I really like this place and was glad to be back. It was fun. Tree Guys is located next to the Itasca train station.
