“We ordered 2 of the Spuntino Family Meals for 6 for our holiday party and as always they were delicious! We went with the Chicken Limon and Chicken Parmesan with both penne marinara and penne vodka sauce. More than enough food for 15 people easily ! They give you an abundant amount of salad and both choices of chicken were super flavorful! And we absolutely love the bruschetta! Did I mention the 2 pizzas! My family definitely recommends Spuntinos not just for the value but the flavor and quality of the meals. Delicious, fresh, and always a crowd favorite.“

“Was craving some pizza and found this spot nearby in Lincolnwood having just finished running a chore. It was late and I was famished and crazing a NY slice so I was excited to try this and being late at 10:15pm, more than appreciative their being opened and available for my specific craving.

Had some trouble coming in and parking, but that was my fault since I’m unfamiliar with the layout of the buildings and township. No biggie. It was def a cold night that night and was hoping to have a quick sit down dinner of a slice or two and a drink before heading out again and their sign outside did say “pizza by the slice”.

Arriving inside, at approx 10:25pm or so, it looked like the staff were in the process of breaking down and cleaning up. I was hoping to dine-in as well, but the restaurant is set up for carry out only. No biggie, these were my own expectations and I adapt well so I’m fine with eating in my car. And it’s late so I don’t fault them for breaking down either. All are fine in my book.

The attendant approached me and greeted me to take my order. I asked for any available slices, seeing as their rotating pizza displace case was empty, and was told only two slices were left - cheese and pepperoni.

Seeing the prices for each one compared to the size, and I thought it was a bit pricy. I was also hoping for a “slice special” like in NYC, where it’s pretty common/routine to see a slice and a drink for $5 or whatever and was disappointed to see they had none. Each slice and drink were sold a la carte - so the pepperoni and cheese slice were sold at like $4/each and a $1.50 for the pop so $10 for both slices and drink. Not the most expensive meal out there but the slices weren’t particularly appetizing. I was disappointed, to be honest.

Still hungry, I chose the pepperoni and sprite.

Here is where I am uncertain of there was miscommunication or otherwise. I was under the impression that slice would be heated or at least was somewhat warm (it had been in a box with the other slice prior to my arrival) and speaking to the attendant, I thought he would be warming it. Again, he was super friendly and answered my other questions. I believed I confirmed with him that I’d want it heated at minimum, and I thought he’d do so and even offered me a sticker from a nearby tray. Again, nice guy.

However, when I got the box and pop and drove away to a seperate parking lot to eat it (and take the picture), I was pretty disappointed to find the slice unheated. Perhaps it may have tasted better or more authentic if it was warmed up but finding myself munching on cold pizza slice in my cold car (not the establishments fault here if they’re not dine-in) and finding it slightly salty though a nice thin crust, it was an uphill battle for me to enjoy the slice. It left me wanting, and not quite scratching that itch I had for satisfying the craving I’ve had for a while. Rocket Slice is a bit out of the way for me so unsure if or when I may give them another shot but it didn’t leave me wanting to seek them out to try again.

Don’t want to fault the attendant since he was nice and kind and happy to attend to me and I wonder if there was miscommunication between us in warming the pizza up, so don’t wanna fault him if it wasn’t his fault but I def did want it heated and recall saying as such.

All the same, didn’t finish the slice and went to chipotle afterwards because despite the cravings for a NYC, I was still hungry.“

“Great food and top notch service. A must have when we are in the city.“

“Good thin crust and good ingredients, cooked perfect“

“Stopped in for a quick slice and was really impressed! I had the cheese and pepperoni, and both were delicious—crispy crust and great flavor. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely planning to come back soon!“

“We've loved Joe's for over a decade and decided to rent the party room at their new location for an event. It was fantastic! The food was great as always, and Kim and Eric took wonderful care of our party throughout the event. Thank you for making everything perfect for our friends and family!“

“My pizza order was ready when I got there. The pizza and fries were cooked to perfection. It smelled so good, I had to grab a slice and eat it on the way home😜..
The gentleman at the front counter was super polite, attentive, and had great demeanor. He offered me plates and napkins and reminded me to get some condiments if I needed them before I left.
This is one of my favorite pizza spots of all time. I highly recommend it to all my family friends and everyone else“

And we eat in the parking lot while enjoying weather and fighting for that last piece.. thank you brothers for making us a best pizza and lot of memories too..“

“The Best food in Chicago,delicious food,good prices,and the nicest owner in the world,Franco“

“I am a 1st-timer who had their pizza brought to me so I can't talk about their place but I can talk about their great pizza! Good balance of cheese and sauce on a good crust - not too dry like some places.“

“All was amazing for our first visit.“

“The best tasting pizza! Delicious and flavorful! Great customer service!“

“I ordered a square pizza consisting of four pieces. It was a deep-dish pizza and the appearance is debatable. But the taste convinced me, because the pizza with extra jalapenos was really delicious! You even could refine the preparation of the crust in terms of flavor, so I decided to have garlic in the dough, which was very good. I made my order through a third-party app that had a promo, which means pay one, get two. All in all, I was very satisfied with the value for money of my order.“

“Very nice food fresh .must go“

“We dined in tonight. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. Will definitely stop in again next time we are in town.“

“Great food! Great times! Tommy is the best behind the bar. Always makes us laugh and feel welcome.“

“Goirdano’s left our area and I stumbled on to NPC. I ordered and was surprised they deliver to Skokie. I called an hour later and they informed me due to busyness our pizza was accidentally delivered to the wrong location. They quickly credited me the amount and still made a new order for us. The pizza was fantastic. Deep dish and margarita. They totally owned the situation and did their best. Pizza felt cleaner. Less additives or chemicals than Lou’s or Giordano’s. Will definitely return.“

“Fantastic restaurant in the neighborhood serves excellent food and donuts and takes care of the neighborhood and the world. So grateful for their presence in Rogers Park. Also the peach spicy Sammy is to die for.“

“Friendly phone person to start out . Thank you, Katy . ( Some restaurants have lost sight of the importance of the first person to represent their business . No one wants to deal with a cocky and rude high school girl who can't get their order right. ) Excellent Pizza! Nice CRUNCH on their thin crust dough . Only very slightly thicker crust than most. And not burnt or charred . ( Not that I mind a good char taste ) The cheese is perfectly caramelized, so I wouldn't risk losing that by ordering a well done pizza . The crunchy dough stands up well to the slightly generous amount of sauce that is perfectly balanced . Extra thin sliced fresh veggies are also much appreciated .“

““Barnaby’s of Northbrook delivers that Neighbor Proof–level consistency with real local trust that Northern Illinois families have counted on for decades.” The food comes out hot, the service is steady, and the atmosphere feels like a true community anchor. Their pizza has that classic, reliable flavor you expect every single time, and the team moves with the kind of confidence that only comes from years of doing things the right way. It’s the kind of place where you see real stories play out — families, regulars, and neighbors all sharing the same dependable experience. A Northbrook staple that continues to earn its reputation.“

“It had been a long time since I last visited Jet’s, and I have to say, it’s really stepped up. I ordered the plain cheese lunch special along with the Jet’s breadsticks, and the quality for the price and portion size was impressive.

The manager recommended that I try their ranch, and I’m glad I did, hands down, this is my favorite ranch I’ve had at any Jet’s location.

Service was excellent. The manager was friendly, knowledgeable, and honest about the menu, giving solid recommendations on what’s worth ordering. The ambiance also stood out, it has that classic, old-school ’90s pizza shop vibe, which I really enjoyed.

If you’re on the fence, give Jet’s a try for the lunch special, and don’t skip the ranch sauce.“

“This is the most authentic Italian food we’ve had since our visit to Italy in 2019. The brick oven pizzas were AMAZING and the spaghetti bolognese was delicious!! To finish our meals, we had Tiramisu that was out of this world!! The ambiance was cozy and the staff were so welcoming. It was like eating at home with family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Highly recommended for halal food with the taste of italian pizza & middle east chicken tenders with rice. Scrumptious food“

“Not the best single slice place in the area, maybe it depends on the time of day because mine were not crispy and had probably been sitting on the warmer for too long. The other food looks good so would maybe go back to try another item but the slices are meh.“

“I love this place I've been coming here since I was 17. I raised my sons here as I am 45 and still come here. fantastic.“

“I love the pizza and the soup. Always very good. Good service.“

“My favorite here is the Speck Di Luna. I've done the other ones (pep shrooms, margherita, etc) which is good too. I like this place because it's pizza by the slice, open late, and they have vegan options too.

I haven't tried their sides but they look good too.“
