    I drove past this place for 18 years when commuting to the suburbs daily and always said I would stop one day but never did. I was at a local bar and this place was suggested to get food from because it was close. I had reservations because I was raised eating home run inn. Let me just sayy that I came back the next day because the pizza was so good! The wings are good also. Within 1 week, I had food from here three times 🤦🏾‍♀️ but it worth every inch and pound I gained 😂😂😂 Everyone I encountered here is friendly and the pizza is cook fast but still fresh.

    They have been a fixture in River Forest forever and with good reason. They have the best thin crust pizza around. Their prices are fair and if you collect enough menus from your orders you get a free pizza. Great family owned business.

    Solid food. I have ordered from here many times. Pizzas are consistently good, but so is other stuff too! I like the calzones. Picture is of a chicken, spinach & sum dried tomatoes one. It's huge! My son got buffalo wings tonight. They are also GOOD!

    This is our favorite tavern style in the area. I love the cheese ratio, it's less which to me is more. It doesn't make it as greasy. We always get it we'll done too. Makes for a nice and crispy crust.

    So we originally were gonna go to Pequods but we saw this place had pan pizza that was squared and the pepperoni was on top and crispy. We got a thicker than thin, circle pizza. When we asked about it they said that was the pan pizza. I don’t get how that pizza was cooked in a pan if it looks like a regular thin crust pizza that you slide into the oven. It’s not what we were looking for. We wanted the square pizza you see in the pictures on google. Pizza was alright. It wasn’t the worse. But it was lacking flavor in the sauce, and I don’t like the pepperoni being underneath. we drove From far to get a certain thing and it’s disappointing wasting money on something that wasn’t even available. The picture should be removed cause that’s what brought us to the place.

    Did a carry out. Thin crust pizza is outstanding. Staff is friendly and helpful. I've never eaten in, the place looks clean and well kept; kind of a restaurant/bar but decent.

    Nice neighborhood pizza spot. I'll be back. Thin Cheese Pizza was ready under 30 minutes. If you're looking for a good tavern style pizza this hits the spot. Will come back and try other toppings and sandwiches.

    I love their pizza. My kids love their pizza. My husband loves it. It’s delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and feel like family. There’s something so nostalgic about it even though we only recently discovered it. We will keep coming back.

    I placed an order at 6:15 for one large pizza for a staff meeting I organized. I was told the pizza would be delivered by 7. I called around 715 for an update because the order hadn’t came and I didn’t receive a call back. The person I spoke with said it would be an additional 30 minutes. I obliged and waited. After waiting another 30 minutes and no pizza in sight , I called again to check on the status of my order and the person I spoke with was very unruly. I tried to express my concerns regarding the poor communication skills and was continuously cut off by the person on the phone. They gave me so much attitude and wouldn’t even let me get a word in so I hung up. I didn’t receive my pizza until 8:15. By this time the staff meeting was over. All of my employees were gone for the day. They also didn’t give any cheese, crushed red peppers, or napkins and I did request those items. The lack of communication and constant incorrect information being told to me is completely unacceptable. I don’t plan on ordering from this location again. And I wouldn’t advise anyone else to either.

    I must admit that this establishment has good food, however I don't appreciate the misleading with prices. If you go on the website 30 wings are listed as $32 no mention of sauce. I was charged $34 when I first ordered from this place for 30 wings 3 different flavors. I ordered recently and I was told that my total was $40.50 for the same wings from a week ago. I just personally don't appreciate that. Again food has no issue so far but I don't like playing the price changing game with no consistency.

    Best pizza in the area hands down with good prices. Wings are also good. Always on time and very good customer service.

    I ordered 4 large thin crust pizzas at 12:15 on a Sunday for a party. I asked to be able to pick them up at 2:15. The pizzas were ready on time. The price was reasonable compared to other places. Everyone at the party complimented the food. Some people there consider themselves chicago-pizza experts & they rated Bertolli's in the top 5.

    This place has great pizza! A local favorite in River Forest / Oak Park area, but can contend with all the places downtown if not top them. I prefer their pan pizza, but they have thin, deep, and stuffed crust as well. The "River" pizza is the best combo. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming.

    1st time visit. This is a neighborhood place I have been told about for months. We were looking for something different from our usual pizzerias and this place did not disappoint! Excellent thin crust with just enough crunch and calzone was not bad either.

  • 5/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely busy old school Italian pizza place. The pizza is wrapped in paper like they did in the 80's. The entire staff was accommodating. The recipe had to been handed down for generations. The first piece brought me back to Grand and Hamlin in Chicago 1983. Friendly staff, Obviously run by great training from the original family. It is nearly a lost art to watch this generation step up and continue the original inspiration. My 3rd trip this month I added a pasta. Linguini with broccoli and garlic. It was amazing. Prices are right for what you get. Pasta dinner was 11.00, x-large 2 topping pizza was like 22.00. I watched as most customers tipped up to 20 percent on a to go order. That says alot about the work ethic of these kids.

    Some of the best tavern style I've ever had. Thin cracker-like crust plus a complex and savory sauce is perfect for when you are craving pizza!

  • 3/5 arianna a. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizza was great! BUTTTTT for the 1st time in my life I ordered a chicken parmesan dinner and it was literally 2 thin pieces of chicken breast! When I called to ask how it is made , the man that answered said it was chicken with cheese, sauce and a side of bread. I told him it's usually served with some type of pasta, and he just answered, okay. I originally called to place the order for delivery and they called me back to say they don't deliver to Maywood I'm literally 1.3 miles away ... so how far do they deliver ?

    Last night I made the trip to Bertolli's in River Forest. The crust was super thin and the outside pieces held up well. The middle pieces collected a lot of the grease and were pretty messy. The sauce had a fresh tomato taste with oregano and pepper. The pizza was light on the sauce and I wish that it had more. The cheese had a good flavor and a slight buttery taste. The sausage had a mild flavor and was just ok. It was a decent pizza. If I went back I would definitely order extra sauce and I would probably switch it over to pepperoni.

    Great food, friendly service. A family business local to me. I am a frequent customer, both dine in and pizza delivery.

  • 5/5 Joe L. 1 year ago on Google
    Favorite Pizza place in the neighborhood! Maybe even Chicago. Service is always friendly and their wings are a hidden secret gem. Looking for Pizza in the OP, RF, FP area? Look no further.

  • 5/5 Carlito R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing pizza and wings!!! Staff is always great. Everyone I've recommended to this place got hooked. 👍

  • 5/5 Tom M. 1 year ago on Google
    Started ordering here a lot because they have the bet pizza in the neighborhood (in my opinion), but slowly we stopped getting the pizza because the wings are so good- every time we'd order we'd get those instead! Haven't had anything disappointing here, and we order out pretty frequently. Highly recommend the wings!
