“If any of you have read my reviews before you know I love pizza. And in our area you all know there are many many really good pizza places. Well, Napoli's wins the prize!! They are now my officially my favorite pizza in the area! I think they have absolutely perfected the sauce and the crust. My order came at the estimated time and was absolutely delicious!! Thank you for doin it right Napolis!!!“

“We celebrated my daughter's high school graduation there. We had 12 people total and the food was delicious, the drinks were on point, the service was exceptional, and the environment was amazing! They truly made our experience special, and my daughter said it was the perfect way to celebrate her big day! I would highly recommend celebrating any occasion, big or small, at Salamone's! They will treat you right! 🎉“

“We were staying in a hotel not far from Anna's Pizza. From the outside, it looks like a fairly modest place. And it is. When I got inside, I could see it was CLEAN. That's very important to me.

The young woman who greeted me was really nice. Pleasant. Great service. I ordered a large, two-topping pizza. GOOD price. The 20-minute wait while they made the pizza worth the time!

I got back to the hotel and the pizza was DELICIOUS. Good crust. Generous toppings. Tasty sauce.

OH! And I told her we were at a hotel, and the young woman packed up some paper plates and napkins. Nice touch.“

“stuffed pizza is awesome !“

“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.“

“Great steaks and seafood. Nice bar area and awesome pasta. Joe’s is the best!“
