“This is great pizza. I’m not a thin crust fan but this pizza is the best thin crust pizza I’ve had. Definitely better than the chain restaurant pizza, look forward to eating this pizza when in town visiting!“

“We went here yesterday after the sports card convention at ISU with no idea what to expect, we just all agreed that we wanted a good, local pizza that we could not get back home. All of us on the trip agreed that this place was OFF THE CHARTS EXCELLENT FOOD. The atmosphere of the restaurant was kind, friendly, prompt, well-cleaned, and cosy. While I may get this wrong, the pizza to me was like a premium quality, perhaps modified blend of an artisinal with ultra fresh, ultra high-quality ingredients with everything someone would love about a Detroit style. I am a "pizza guy" and I am talking like top 5 lifetime pizza places for me. Definitely my favorite new pie that I have tried out over the last several years!😀 I will have to find a convenient excuse to get back to the area from 3 hours away soon just so I can visit again! Thanks for a great meal and outstanding service!“

“Just went there with my husband for the first time. Service was excellent and the food was exceptionally good. We shared a pizza and I had a simple salad. Pizza was flavorful and just right for the two of us. Salad was greens, tomatoes and kalamata olives in a divine dressing. Yum! Highly recommend and can’t wait to return. Is tomorrow too soon? lol“

“Hands down the best pizza in central Illinois. It’s clear how fresh and original this place is. It’s not often I find a place where I could get a different item each time and be just as satisfied as before. Always have to try the specialty pizza of the month, usually it’s a hit. Favorite regular menu pizzas are Blackjack Mac and Grillmaster. Flingers has yet to even remotely let me down. Easy 5 stars“

“My work rented out X-Golf for an event and it was absolutely perfect. Joe was very hospitable and went out of his way to ensure everyone had a good time. the bartenders were great and everyone loved the food and had a great time. 10/10“

“We enjoy Papa Murphy's Take - and - Bake Pizza every time we visit our daughter's family in Sandy Utah. The 10.99 Large 2 topping on TUESDAYS is a big hit with my 2 grandsons. Their ALL Veg is Wonderful, you just need to cook about 3 minutes extra to crisp the crust. I wish the Joliet IL area had many stores. My favorite Pizza is Aurelio's in Joliet on West Jefferson St.“

“Today was my first time eating at Lucca Grill. We went during lunch and I ordered their grilled chicken sandwich dipped in parmesan sauce and homemade chips. It was delicious! Our waitress was fantastic! She greeted us as we walked in and gave us great service! We are definitely going back and will have to try the pizza.“

“We hosted a family milestone celebratory meal for nineteen people which exceeded even all our high expectations. Between DawnMichelle Alvarez, Biaggi’s Event Coordinator, and Christy, our primary server, we received fabulous treatment throughout our evening. We have celebrated family milestones at Biaggi’s for many years and will continue to do so because Biaggi’s in our opinion is the very best Bloomington has to offer.“

“Best pizza ever! I used to eat there in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s in East Peoria. Now I have them shipped to me in Texas. Still good as ever!“

“One of the first customers through the door on Saturday of ISU graduation weekend. Not terribly busy, yet, buy our server was spectacular. We never had an empty glass, our food was out faster than I can ever recall at this location, and she had a smile the entire visit.“

“City where I live used to have Godfather's and when looking for a place ti eat, location popped up. Every bite took me back to my youth and was even delicious the next day. It was so good, looked for a closer location and had to do it again.“

“I'll start with what was great. First, the Service, i waited a while for my food to be done only to realize when i ordered from the app, i ordered from the wrong Ceasars!!! So i called the correct Ceasars and they said to all the local management. I did and they were willing to fulfill my order, even though they didn't need to. That was really great of them.Then they took care to remind each other i was there. Awesome service!!!There wasn't anything bad with the food but it is little Cesar's and we eat there because it's affordable. And for what we pay, it's good!!The atmosphere was rated lower also because it's not a place built to wait. So there's not a lot of chairs and standing can get crowded on a Friday lunch.I'll def come back and buy more.“

“This place is like half gas station and half MOD pizza. You can either order your own pizza fresh, or you can browse the many candies and soft drinks they have to offer on the shelves as well as a freezer with ice cream items and a bakery shelf with muffins and sandwiches. Interesting place! Pizza is about average, but keep in mind you can use student flex dollars here!“

“We ate in. Service was great. The waiter accidentally knocked over a closed, half used, 2 liter and replaced it with a new full one, without us asking. He even gave us garlic puffs to try for free. I told him it wasn't needed, but he insisted. Pizza was great! Chicago style, extra cheese and pepperoni.“

“awesome service. pizza was very good. not serving alcohol right now so had to have a soda instead of beer with my pizza but that was okay. would go again if in the normal, IL area.“

“I like the ingredients and taste. The only issue is the cooking method. If they got rid of the belt driven oven and got a wood fired brick oven the pizza would be a 9/10 for the area.

I can’t review service and atmosphere as I got this delivered.“

“My favorite pizza in town but very inconvenient that they’re closed on Mondays. So expensive too.“

“Wish I got the gentleman's name. He was very helpful with me and my granddaughter. In the early morning The hot chocolate wasn't working. He came right around and refilled. Then made sure we got what we needed! I have had very bad experience there in the past when visiting. So glad they are getting good help! Thank you 😊“

“Great place with great pizza ! The employees here do a great job !“

“I had a great experience at Blaze Pizza! The service was quick, the food was delicious, and everything was super fresh. Shoutout to Michael—he was absolutely wonderful! Friendly, helpful, and made sure everything came out just right. Definitely coming back again. Thanks, Michael!“
