I was just there to get a couple slices of Pizza & there was a Very Nice Mexican girl & some guy in the back prep area, I watch the guy first touch a black marker & then he touched allot of money at the cash register & then he is touching a couple slices of pizza with his bare hands & no plastic gloves on & good thing that it wasn't my pizza because I would have called him out on hit. Then he goes & drinks sida in some foam cup & then he is touching more pizza with NO PLASTIC GLOVES ON ! THIS IS DISGUSTING & SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED EVER ! THE YOUNG LADY HAD GLOVES ON. SHE IS THE ONE WHO TOOK CARE OF MY PIZZA. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF CHICAGO.

Ok, let's start with the ambiance: It's a bar. Now that we are past that shocking but of information let's get the important stuff the food. Their pizza is amazing. I first discovered Paternos in 1993 when they used to have buy one get one free coupons in the Norwood Park version of the Nadig newspaper. In fact this was the only reason In would get this paper. I moved out of Chicago in 1996 and in 1997 my brother moved here and Paterno's quickly became his go to also despite living in Oriole Park. I moved back a week ago and wasn't disappointed. Paterno's still has amazing pizza. As for the service: it's a bar and the people are great.

Ok was recommended to visit this location. And my friend gave me the directions. You go to windows order then sit down. So she told me of a 3 things that would fit my taste that day. I did end up with a sub sandwich. It was fantastic. Great flavors and right portions of product. The only complaint is maybe all the meat folded in half at the bottom is hard to eat. Too all bread maybe make the sandwich flat lol. The slaw had perfect flavor for me. Right balance. I had a beer at the bar as I waited. I want to go back and try the pizza or wings. And the meals looked fantastic. If I am in the area I will go back. My son got the other half of my sandwich because it was so big. So two meals one sandwich. I did take a minute to get served at the bar as it was busy. Bartender was great. And friendly. Definitely a perfect set up food and drinks. With nice people working there. A rare. Find.
