We will definitely be back!“

Old review:

I don't even know where to start... This review is mostly about their delivery partner.

I just moved to Peoria, and yesterday, after 8 hours of lugging heavy boxes and furniture up 2 flights of stairs into our apartment, we decided to treat ourselves with a local pizza place.

So I called for delivery because we're sweaty and exhausted, and the employee tells me they only deliver through Doordash.

Crap. I hate Doordash. Nine times out of ten, there's an issue with the delivery. I picked a pizza place, because they usually hire their own drivers.

But we're too tired to find somewhere else to order, so I bite the bullet.

My Doordash order gets here, and of course, there's a whole pizza missing from the order. Typical Doordash. I called the restaurant and he confirmed that the pizza was still sitting there. He offered to call Doordash for a re-delivery, and I said sure, thank you.

Well, 7 phone calls back and forth with Doordash customer service, they told me 1) They'd re-deliver, 2) Oops, they couldn't reach the driver 3) Do you want a refund? 4) Oops, we can't process a refund 5) I'll ask my supervisor for a re-delivery again 6) This time I had to call, and they told me they had to "escalate the issue" 7) It is now the next day, and they tell me they have to "escalate it" again to a different team.

So now it's the next day and I'm still without my refund and without my pizza.

2 stars for the food, because what we did receive was very tasty, but after the day we had and the added stress from Doordash, I don't know if we'll ever order here again. Maybe we'll try a carryout order, but between us working crazy First Responder hours, I don't know if we'll have the time.

So, yeah, very tired, very disappointed...“

“Wonderful food!“

“I have eaten here twice now and the food is fabulous. The service is great and your food comes out fast even when busy. The manager is really friendly and makes you feel welcome. Prices are very reasonable. I tried the cherry crepes kijafa today and I would highly recommend them. I highly recommend this restaurant as well!“

“Absolutely, fantastic! From the drinks, to the food, and service. Alexis, at the bar, took extremely good care of my husband, son, and I. She was personable and on top of everything even when she was being pulled in every direction. I am so glad we stumbled upon Rizzi’s.“

“Great food, consistently terrible service.“

“I am amazed by how well the atmosphere and the food and the drinks in the service are“

“As a person that grew up on this type of food. this is the most authentic and most savory food in the area. the rice is very good and when u get the mixed grill, the kebabs melt in ur mouth delicious. the falafel is the most on point in the area of peoria. even the sald is soooo good!!!!! the kebbah is seriously the best I've ever had. the shawarma is so good it just makes u wanna come back for more. I would 100% recommend this place for the best mediterranean food. better than khourys and kebab g. compliments to the chef!!!! 😍💯❤️“

“The best in Peoria!! I’ve never had anything that I didn’t like and the atmosphere is AMAZING!“

“We have eaten in or we have preordered for carry out at least 2-3 times a month. Never had a bad pizza since they opened about 8 years ago(2015) at Peoria North location. The Pizza is always HOT! You pick up your pizza from the bar, and if you get there and your pizza is not ready from a call in, they offer you a drink from the bar as a complementary, wait. 5 stars any way you ask!!“

“Best fried rice in the area with a lunch special that can't be beat. It's affordable and like any respectable chinese restaurant, they give you a lot of food. Like many restaurants, there are many things on the menu that are not outstanding, but the fried rice is very good. It's a little dingy, seemingly unclean, but let's be honest, these are the types of places that have the most flavorful food. With two brothers there to run the business every day with a rich history and a smile, this is a true hole-in-the-wall hidden gem.“

“omg so amazing ! pizza and pasta was so good! New favorite place.“

“everything. you can even get carryout by the pound. one of the hosts said alhamdulillah to me on the way out. For a Muslim to openly give that blessing and to a non Muslim is testament to his love for humanity, respect, and compassion for all humans. Alhamdulillah to you to Sir and your restaurant.“

“service was amazing! our waitress was Ella. super nice, very helpful, stopped n checked on us frequently! food was amazing! so many drinks to choose from! just a little pricey (from what I'm use to. I don't go out to restaurants very often either tho.) will DEFINITELY be going back!“

“Great Harvest has yummy baked goods and delicious sandwiches for lunch! I highly recommend all of their locations! Excellent small business which has been around for many years!“

“The service here is phenomenal. Owner is attentive to customers and checks on everything frequently. Food is good. Only comment is I’d like to see more fresh veggies/potatoes besides just salad. The salads are great!
It would be nice if they played music other than the tvs but they have a jukebox so you can play it yourself. Overall I recommend the place.“

“We arrived around 6:00 p.m. on a Friday night. There were only 10 people in the restaurant. We were seated and got our drinks right way. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone took our order. We got two different waitresses. The first waitress gave us poor service. The other one at least tried. It took 1 half hours just to get served and paid. I usually leave a decent tip but after this experience I left $2.00. Our food was watery and had poor flavor. We will not be returning which is sad because we usually love the food and always had good service.“

“Best philly steak/chicken in all of town! The service is super quick and the sandwiches are amazing each and every time. Staff is very friendly and the restaurant is always clean! Patricia is such a great addition to the team!

Vegetarian options: Veggie Supreme is so so good!“

“Sushigawa is a Peoria gem. Things are taken extremely seriously here, and you will enjoy thoughtful, courteous, perfectly-timed service - as well as beautiful preparation, delicious food, great drinks, and a wonderful decor. Sushigawa checks all of the main boxes while EXCELLING at attention to finer details: a pristine, spotless bathroom, relaxing music, perfect lighting, plush napkins, and a commitment to service that makes Sushigawa a luxury experience. I sincerely hope this joint never changes.“
