“Really fantastic pizza! Best around.“

“The server was friendly and the place is clean and their cheese pizza was cooked perfectly. One of the owners asked how Our meal was. We're retired so loved the music that was playing. Can't wait to go back. THANKS!!!“

“There are several good pizza recipes in Rockford but Gulotta’s pizza stands out among all others; not only in terms of authentic flavor and fresh ingredients but in heart and soul. There’s more to a good pizza pie than what’s on the surface. I was 14 when I first had the Gulotta pizza experience. I’ve lived in Chicago for 22 years, and eaten scores of pizzas from different restaurants. Gulotta’s been at it for 45 years and it’s continues to be top tier in my book. Thanks to Gulotta’s for their undeniable heart and soul and one of the best pizzas ever.“

“We love Lino’s! From dinners to pizza to special salad and hosting our family’s special occasions, it’s a long-time favorite. Always well done!“

“amazing sauce, double dough crust and cheese. Decided to try a new place to me, and so glad I did. When I am back on that side of town and want pizza... my place to stop.“

“Had the Bavarian Cream cake at our wedding yesterday and it was a hit!“

“Possibly the best Thin crust pizza I've had...will Absolutely Return!!
My friend convinced me to try this place. We were in town visiting, but didn't have more than an hour or so til we had to meet up with everyone from the group...
This place ended up being a perfect spot with Great Pizza and Salads!
You basically get to build your own pizza...from thin or thick crust, to your base sauce, all the way through your cheeses and toppings.
The pizza turned out perfect. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the flow/vibe of the restaurant fits perfectly with what they have going on!
Highly recommend checking out!!“

“I grew up eating this pizza… I live in NC now and when I come home, I get it several times because nothing else compares. The taste, quality, and service has been the best I’ve experienced in the past 30 years. From NC to IL, there’s nothing like this pizza!!!“

“We decided last minute to stop in at Sam’s on Harlem (there were 18 of us). They were very accommodating to us and the food was great! Thank you for everything!“

“The Crab Rangoon pizza is so fire!! I hope you keep it on the menu!!“

“We were traveling back to Ohio from Montana and were excited to find a Giordano’s open late. We called ahead and realized that they weren’t going to be open as late as Google said they were. We were going to arrive right when the dining room closed at 10. After a brief conversation on the phone, they were more than willing to take our order over the phone, and let us come inside and eat. The food was ready when we got there, the staff was very friendly and as always the food was delicious. Just a reminder for those who’ve never been, the pizza is deep dish and takes a good 30-40 minutes. But it’s worth it! We will be back next time we are in the area“

“I ate there tonight my first time unbelievably awesome food. I ate the Italian beef on garlic bread and a cannoli. We also had the onion cilantro, steak tacos. Everything was perfect and very tasty. Will definitely go back. There are menu. Options are huge.“

“I was told that Gerry’s Pizza is amazing. Well it really isn’t. We tried it yesterday for the first time. We asked for a very thin crust and while it was thin it wasn’t more so than any other thin crust. The sauce lacked flavor. It was at best bland. We asked for extra sausage & cheese. If what they gave us was extra I’d hate to see what regular cheese & sausage consisted of. The bigger letdown was the “Fresh Calamari.” This wasn’t fresh! It was straight from the freezer bag to the deep fryer. Breading was very institutional from a place like Gordon Food Service. The person that took my order over the phone and got my food for me was very nice. You get one chance to make a first impression. Gerry’s food fell far short.“

“Ordered online came to me fresh hot and delicious! Pizza and wings Friday start to a great weekend!“

“In town for work rn, stopped in to do some laundry and ordered some food and a few beers. Friendly home town vibe with cheap brews can’t be beat.“

“So for about a year, my husband and I have driven by this place and we always say we’re gonna stop in there and check it out thinking it was a hot dog place. We just never did. We had some running around to do in the area and I finally said to him, let’s go check out the hot dog place 😃 So we went in there and we were shocked to see it wasn’t a hotdog place at all!🤣 We never paid attention to the fact that the sign says “pizza and pub”😂 They had a fantastic bar, daily special’s, and the food was outstanding. Of course we had to come back the next day for lunch again to get more fantastic food! The bartenders are awesome and we even got to meet one of the owners who sat and talked to us for a while. I definitely recommend this place and wow most people think bar food is just average. This place is definitely not average. It’s probably the best bar, food and drinks in the area! I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this little place as I can see it growing and holding events in the future, including more bands and outdoor activities. It definitely goes above and beyond normal bar food. They are definitely the Top Dog Pub in the area! 😁“

“Amaxing food. Great service. Great prices. Had dinner in the outdoor igloo. Beautiful atmosphere. Filet mignon was the best we ever had. Everything insane. The chef is amazing! Appetizers: Lobster Bisque. Buffalo Shrimp. Mozzarella Burrata. All amazing but the Burrata...OH MY ....DONT PASS IT UP!!!“

“Great food for a decent price. Friendly staff“

“Excellent stuffed pizza. I was expecting stuffed crust, but it is a double crusted pizza. The flavor was great, and I loved the cheese. I wished I had weighed the slices. Loaded. I was full before finishing two slices.Ordered half sausage. Only thing I would change is to ask them to mark which slices had sausage.“

“🙌🙌🙌🙌 Neighbors is the place to be!!! Live music, amazing atmosphere & the staff are 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ordered today and had delicious pizza with the best thin crust ever. The crust was amazing. Really great job. Thank you.“

“They catered my son's graduation party and was there on time and set everything up. I dealt with Rachel and she was very very helpful and responded back if I had any questions. Drew delivered our food and he was excellent!! I would recommend this place!“

“The service was amazing! They made my boy feel so special and kept the entertainment going well throughout and the kids still he plenty of time to play! Best way to spend a birthday for kids! They had so much fun!!!“

“I consider myself a connoisseur of pizza. And lately, my son and I have been on a mission to compare and rate deep dish (Chicago style) pizzas in Rockford and the Greater Chicago area. We ordered deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza for pickup. We were not disappointed. The sauce was very fresh and sweet with tomato chunks in it. So delicious! And the price was very reasonable compared to others. Now our number 1!!! We will be back!!!“

“Good food“

“Yum! We drive over an hour to come here!! Worth it!“

“We ordered the Franco pizza Was so dang delicious Thank you guys“

“Listen up! These are the people YOU need. I have had them cater a few events now so I can tell you all about them based on a true track record. Napoli's Catering was prepared, on-time, an absolute to dream to work with from planning to clean-up. The food was fabulous! Beautifully presented AND delicious, which is usually the opposite with other events I've been too. The bar tenders were lovely and professional at all times. The entire staff brought a real feeling of warmth and caring to my events and we ALL felt it. The work they put into set up and take down to clean up is so impressive. This is not just some job for these people, it's real quality. One of my best experiences in Rockford has been working with Frank's team- awesome!“

“Once again, we had a great experience with our pizza order. Picked it up, since I live right around the corner. We've lived in the area for 8 months and found this to be our favorite pizza place. Very reasonable, great specials, and fast.“

“Friday 10/25/2024 my wife placed a carry-out order i thought it was for East State she called Riverside my work is 6 blocks from the East state the staff was very helpful and re-made my order everyone was super to me want to say thank-you very much“

“This place is a hidden gem. I live right down the road from it and didn’t realize it was there until my cousin told me about it. Best pizza in Rockford hands down. I don’t suggest the stuffed crust because the pizza gets a bit too thin at least for my liking for the normal crust pizza is amazing.“

“Great pizza ribs are awesome and tacos are the bomb“

“I had a pizza delivered tonight and it was AMAZING. it was hot an bubbly the crust was light and fluffy & the taste was what i was craving.The drivers are always friendly. Best neighborhood pizza hands down. whatever you did tonight....keep doing that“

“We had delicious meals and drinks with wonderful service tonight at the new Capri! We enjoyed the connections to the Grizanzio family history from the previous location. It was a bonus to sit outside!“

“Handsdown the best pizza in the the area! I recommend this place EVERY chance I get.“

“I screwed up my online order and driver was already leaving during the snow storm and they said they could fix it for me no problem. great customer service. thank you again for fixing my order.“

“I really like Godfathers pizza. Maybe because it’s a childhood nostalgia thing. This is the closest location to me so I stop whenever I have a chance. The employees are nice and they do a pretty good job keeping up with customers. One of the employees even gave me spider plant starters.“

“W pizza. Me and my dad order pizza from here every week, and I’ve never, not once, had a bad pizza. All they need to do is open up the seating and have people eat inside the restaurant again, and it’ll be better. It’s not covid anymore guys! Open up the restaurant for people to actually eat inside it!“

“I went this afternoon to Pizza Hut with my 2 boys and was met with some of the best customer service I’ve ever received the manager willie is full of, and exudes exactly the type environment and energy you want to be around I hope he is there the next time I come back the food was amazing but the service was above and beyond.“

“We love Lou Malnati’s. We picked up Two deep dish to take back home to central Illinois.“

“We haven’t been here in years .. gonna work on that. Excellent beers on tap friendly staff great bartender.“

“I really really miss the old Pizza Hut experience and the salad bar but it's just so odd to say you want to sit in the dining area and it's like you're doing take out the hand you a plastic bag with your containers in it or your pizza and you just basically use their table and chair to sit at it's just so weird to me I'm so used to dying in where you can enjoy and experience“

“We eat here a lot and always get great service and great pizza. Heading there for lunch :) Thin crust with hamburger. Great coupon deals!!!“

“My order was late being delivered and we figured out it was likely delivered to the wrong address. The staff was helpful, quickly remade the order, and delivered it without a problem. The delivery driver was very polite and even ensured our address was corrected in the system. I appreciate their great customer service and the food was amazing as always.“

“The second time to dine at John's and it is now our favorite restaurant in Rockford and possibly the whole world. Calamari was exquisite, best I've ever had. Seafood stuffed red snapper was phenomenal. My husband said that his pizza may very well be the best he's ever had. We are from Freeport, but we will be driving to Rockford just to eat at John's.“

“Worst pizza ever! I got a sausage gluten-free pizza & there was literally 1-2 pieces of sausage on each piece of pizza. And before the owner tries to bash me like you have done with other customers, everyone including the owner needs to read the reviews! They sent us a second pizza with literally 1 piece of sausage on each slice! We sent it back & they told us they would not correct it this time because the "manager" said it was made correctly. This place is a joke with Pizza! Someone please bring a Beggar's Pizza to Belvidere!“
