“I had a catered event on October 2nd. The food was excellent!! Especially the Italian beef and Mac and cheese. Went to drop off stuff snd decided to have lunch since we were there. 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.“

“Delicious food. A throw back to early Chicago pizzerias. Well maintained facilities. Great friendly service. Reasonable prices. Often overlooked when compared to other traditional pizzerias with commercial advertisement but Palermo’s holds its own against the best.“

“We came here as a large group of 15 and the staff did a great job setting up tables outdoors quickly to accommodate us. The pizza itself was very good, and we all enjoyed the food. Our server seemed fairly new but was really putting in the effort, which we appreciated.

The only downside was that someone nearby was smoking, which took away from the experience since we had a pregnant guest and four very young children with us. The Smoke-Free Illinois Act applies to all outdoor eating and drinking areas, making it illegal to smoke there if employees are present to serve food which they were. The staff did not enforce this law which we felt they should have. We hope management can train their staff on this issue and that the staff enforce it.

All in all it was a good outing and the place has a lot of potential for families and groups.“

“Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding.“

“Our go to Pizza Night spot. Quick & delicious every time!“

“Incredible meal, incredible value. This is great, even compared to the high standards of other Olive Gardens. We had Adrian as our server and i couldn’t recommend him highly enough, he should be running the place!

One small but important piece of feedback: the bathrooms don’t have paper towels and have pull doors, so for those hygiene conscious of us, there’s no method to avoid touching the door handle. I would suggest either paper towels, a push door or one of those foot things to pull the door.“

“Wasn’t able to complete the survey online but I wanted to make sure to recognize our amazing server Jordan D. He was very attentive and friendly and made our dining experience great! Even with it being busy, he made sure to check on us frequently and make sure everything was good.“

“Italian cooking. …outdoor music as well.“

“Ate there a few months ago when my son was up for his college visit and we loved the place. We are coming in town again today for his game and he said he wants to go back for dinner afterwards. Can't wait. Great food. Great atmosphere. And the owner was so engaging and awesome to talk to.“

“These guys have been on my list for a while and it was worth the wait. THIS IS PIZZA. Bridgeport phils still has my heart but this place just bumped into the 2/3 spot for me. TOP 3 Chicago pizzeria.

Crust: this is what did it for me. The crust was a perfect thickness and kept its structure/ crisp throughout the whole pizza

Sauce: they’re cooking down their own sauce I believe. It’s got a touch of that fresh tomato sweetness. Nothing over powering, just a great classic sauce

Sausage/cheese: high quality Battaglia products. Traditional cheese blend and good sausage. Nothing crazy in this category but definitely brings their pizza together

DONT SLEEP ON ROSANGELAS!“

“My only complaint is I’m mad I just found out about this place. We ordered a sausage pizza, it’s right up there in my top 5 best pizza’s. It’s very well seasoned and they don’t skimp on the sausage. Delicious pizza, Friendly costumer service , and the price wasn’t bad at all. My husband loved it too and he’s very hard to please when it comes to pizza. We will definitely be becoming regular customers.“

“We love your pizzeria and bar! Colleen was an amazing server! The food is delicious!“

“Delicious food,one of my fav places to eat.Food is made fresh and they don’t take a long time to make it.Staff is friendly and always tries to accommodate.I wish they had an outdoor area to eat.That would take this location to the next level.Other than that,10/10 EVERY TIME.Also,check out Homeslice Pizza next door!
Side note:I typically place a To-go order.“

“Pops never let's me down. They are consistent. Good quantity and quantity. I'm a borderline French fry addict and they rank pretty high on my top 10 list. Double grilled chicken, hot pepper mix,bag of salty smoking hot fries, I'm done“

“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!“

“I ordered a medium, thin crust, sausage pizza. The pizza was ready earlier than estimated. The pizza was delicious, hot, and perfectly flavored. The sausage had fennel seeds in it. The sauce was mild and light. The only negative is the size of the pizza. The medium serves 16 square/triangle slices. The medium looks like a small.

The cashier was friendly and courteous. A person in the back, I assume was the owner, was courteous.

Parking: The restaurant is in a small strip mall area, so the lot is shared with other businesses. The main street is busy, but additional parking could be located in the area.“

“My server Joey was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. He was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and went above and beyond to make the whole experience enjoyable. The food was absolutely fantastic too!! Will definitely be back!!“

“Food is always excellent!“

“Amazing buffet! All you can eat! Delicious Italian food! Amazing waitresses!“

“Delicious!! Thin Crust Lots of sausage .. i love the green olive too! The mostaccioli and giant size meatballs .. mmmmm and that red sauce .. it’s heavenly !!“

“Live Dj that plays for the crowd.“

“I happen to work in the area and the young lady name Pranavi I placed my order with was so kind to me. We dined in for lunch and then the manager Otis came out of no where and was also so helpful, he even helped wrap our food up with the biggest smile. 😊 I will most definitely be coming back thank you both!“

“Was the takeout order supposed to be thin crusted? And by time I got it home, it felt like it was double crusted and ugh, not totally cooked. So I'll hit that doughy in the bottom of the crust side of that, it was okay. Ended up eating most of the toppings off of it, but that was it.“

“My husband and I have been there several times. Unfortunately this Friday I was disappointed in our meals. I ordered the spaghetti seemed like the pasta was a touch overcooked and the marinara sauce was very bland. My husband’s chicken parmesan was huge but the chicken had no flavor other than the crispy breading. Love the Special salad and the pizza! We will come back, everyone has a bad day unless you have a different cook! Sadly dissatisfied, Joan Batzel“

“i love barracos so much i think it’s a small town staple! they are open late which is great for a late night bite! i love ordered their slices to go it comes with two slices one for now and one for later! overall i have barracos number saved in my phone and they are my favorite pizza place to order from around here.“

“Great pizza all around!! All the ingredients taste fresh, and the pizza is always in perfect shape when you get the box in your hands. Crust is thin and extremely crispy(order it well done). They bring the pizza out to your car when you pick it up. Great service, great pizza.“

“Best pizza around. Been going there well over 35 years now and still just as good.“

“The no crust pizza is fantastic. This place is great!“

“Our meal was very delicious. Chicken vesuvio, sautéed perch, and linguini with red clam sauce all so good. Thank you for good service too.“

“Our family loves the thin crust Hawaiian because we love the sauce. Our next go to is their classic wings specially their own mango habanero sauce. Their deep dish is also very good. Their burgers are juicy but well done. Their fries are fresh, and their onion rings are crunchy from the outside and not oily. The pizza slices for the kids at after school pick up is the best they love it. ❤️“

“GREAT pizza...period! Simple decor, nice people and service. One of Chicagoland areas best pizza carry out.“
