I always go here. I had actually been to this location 5 times this month using up gift cards I had. My last visit I ordered a buffalo chicken salad. About 10 minutes later I opened it up and went to stick my fork in it when I saw a pretty good sized bug moving around. Luckily the bug was on top before I could take a bite. It was smaller than a house fly but larger than a leaf bug. It was so gross I threw it out right away. I took a picture but it's kinda hard to see. I called the restaurant and they were giving me a hard time about it as if I made it up. The manager on the phone actually asked "well what kind of bug was it?" Does it matter?Greetings, cubsrays90!

9. Rocky's Pizza & Restaurant

Rocky's is a wonderful, little restaurant that offers authentic, homemade Sicilian style dishes and pizza from recipes handed down to Tony Savarino by his father.
Reviewed By Bhopeful
Thereâs nothing like a Chicago style pizza. The thin cracker crust, medley of fresh ingredients and cheese, definitely plenty of that. Rockyâs gets it right. Nothing flashy or trendy, just homemade pizza done right. The staff is always pleasant and willing to accommodate guests wishes. Theyâre just the best. Rockyâs is a Westchester gem.

White table cloths, nice presentation, but basic Italian. Accordingly, prices are pretty reasonable... so if you want good food at a good price (and a lot of it) go there. Had veal that was tender, but lacked flavor - wife's lasagna was plentiful and on point. Good wine selection.

We have been getting Lou's deep dish for many years. One of our very faves, until the last 2 visits. Did you change the recipe Lou? Last 2 times this past Friday and a week before just not right. Too much sausage and huge tomatoes. Buttercrust crust still too die for but pizza use to have more sauce and just the right amount of other ingredients like tomatoes and sausage. We might give you one more try Lou in the hope you just had a couple of bad weeks but we are near to going elsewhere.Mike & MaryWe're sorry that you haven't enjoyed your two most recent pizzas, Mike and Mary. Our recipe has not been changed and we appreciate your willingness to give us one more try. We would like to have a manager speak with you directly. Please get in touch with us at (630) 516-0800 or send us an email at [email protected]. Cheers, Elmhurst - Lou Malnati's Pizzeria

We were staying in Indy and took the train to Chicago for the day. Decided to eat here since our son and friend s said it was great. The pizza was out of this world best deep dish chicopozza I have ever had. The service was terrible we waited 20 minutes after we were seated for a waitress and she was not around much. The deep dish takes 45 minutes to make so keep that in mind. The lunch specials are faster. We ordered the lunch specials and one meat deep dish. One off our daughters friend asked for the lunch special but somehow she got a small pizza . We told the server why would you think a little girl would get that when all the other kids got the lunch special. So we spent 25 dollars for her to eat 3 pieces of pizza. Common sense was not our waitress strong point. Food was great hopefully you get a better waitress. We will go back.

We went to Q's to have dinner with a friend. We got there early and had a drink at the bar. Nice little family restaurant and good drinks. We got there around 5:00 pm and got a table. The place was relatively empty, and we decided to order pizza. Since it was a Wednesday night, if you ordered one pizza, you get another one for free. The pizza was one of the best around. Thin crust and lots of toppings. We got two pizzas, and we ate almost all it between the three of us. The pizza was hot, and it was made quickly. By the time we got the pizza, the place was packed. Lots of families with kids, since they probably knew that it was pizza night! Service was very good and we ended up having one more drink at the bar after all that pizza. The menu is quiet large, with a lot of italian favorites on it, so we will have to go back to try some other dishes. Very friendly staff and nice little mom and pop place.

No complaints about the ambiance or comfort although the noise level was a little high. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I met a friend for lunch and we were there a long time. We weren't rushed to order or to leave after eating. And, the place was packed. Our sandwiches were very good. I loved the oil and parm that came with our bread. The olives and peppers were a nice twist on a common offering. The wine was a generous pour. I wish restaurants offered a nice glass that was more reasonably priced - a decent house wine is always appreciated!
