The Reuben was to die for!! As was the beef sandwich. We also loved the fries. Thank you Jim for making the food for our 30th anniversary party . I would highly recommend using them for all of your catering needs. And if you are in Thorton, pick up lunch. You won’t regret it.“

“I've been coming to Rosati’s Pizza in Matteson for over 6 years now, and they’ve never disappointed. The food is consistently delicious — from the perfectly crispy thick crust pizzas to the hearty pastas and sandwiches, everything is always fresh and flavorful. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the quality has remained solid over the years. Whether I’m picking up or getting delivery, I can always count on Rosati’s to hit the spot. Definitely one of my go-to places in the area!“

“Haven’t had it in awhile, was driving past and decided to stop. So delicious I stopped the next day too!!!! The only problem I had the second stop was one of my buns was too soggy, but the other 3 dogs were perfect!!!“

“Our waitress was awesome. The birria pizza was delicious. In from Texas to visit family. Wanted the original but due to wait time & flexibility of family came to this location instead. The ovens might have changed from what I was told, but still good food was had. 1989 was the 1st time had ever had.“

“Sbarro’s breakfast spread feels like the moment a fast-food joint suddenly remembers it has a soul. The eggs come out fluffy instead of rubbery, the peppers stay bright and sweet, and the sausage carries that satisfying, just-enough-spice warmth that wakes you up better than a motivational podcast. The roasted potatoes are the real ringleaders, though. They’ve got that crisp-on-the-edges, soft-in-the-center thing going on, like they were engineered by someone who genuinely cares about breakfast physics.

The whole plate tastes fresher than you expect from a spot best known for giant slices under heat lamps. It’s hearty without being heavy, comforting without getting sloppy. You walk away thinking, “Wait, did Sbarro just become my morning place?” That kind of pleasant surprise has a way of brightening the rest of the day.“

“The food here is delicious! The menu is huge. If you’re wanting something a little lighter you can opt for a yummy chicken chop salad. We ended up getting the Italian beef and the Ruben. Both are excellent. The Ruben is the best Ruben I have ever eaten in my entire life hands-down you must get! We also had a vanilla shake and the large sizes are ginormous . The food servings are very generous, everything is very shareable. They even have an area where you can grab a beer if you’d like. The restaurant has a large sitting area and there is a covered back patio. Service is excellent and the restaurant very clean. A great place to stop!“

“Awesome food! Definitely worth every penny!!“

“Every time I go in there they always have the freshest Pizza even though they have young people working there they always make sure that other people is nice and fresh one time it was really hot it was like 90 something out of me until nobody so I'm not going to say no need but they gave me a few more cuz it was hot I love them they are the best and is the best pizza and it was so perfect it will crunch so it was like nice really well done that's why I go like twice a week“

“The pizza is cooked to perfection every single time! This is an excellent track record especially considering that my family eats here often- LOL!“
