    That was the best Chicago style pizza I’ve ever had. I ordered extra cheese and the pizza was baked perfect all the way the the center. It wasn’t doughy at all which is not easy to do with extra cheese. One of the servers even carried my pizza out to my car for me. Excellent service. I’ll be back for sure !!!!

    We have been going to the Loves Park location since it opened. Almost once a week. They also have catered our work Christmas party for years. The last couple times the service has been so bad. For years the wait staff was the best in town. Not so much anymore more. The problem seems to be more the manager than the wait person. Great food but you need to get it to the table to enjoy it.

    Very good Pizza. We had the meat lovers classic with double crust (similar to hand tossed). The crust looked hand pulled and shaped, with rolled edge for a thicker edge crust. Definitely recommend eating here.

    I believe that the quality of any pizza, purchased at any restaurant, depends totally on the person making the pizza. The works pizza that we purchased last at Marciano's was excellent and one of one of the best I have ever had. I only wish every pizza ordered could be as good.

    It was so good! We came from out of town and were staying nearby for a soccer tournament. The pizza was excellent and breadsticks were amazing! Would definitely order from them again! Five stars for sure!!

  • 5/5 Kathryn J. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite restaurant best pizza ever!! I have been going to this restaurant since they opened in 2006 and so thrilled to have had the opportunity to get delivery from them directly even through covid pandemic. The food is always delivered hot and as prompt as possible depending on day and time of ordering. Weekends get busy a hour time frame but sometimes sooner.

  • 5/5 Todd L. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Quaint little Italian restaurant with excellent food. Been there numerous times and have never had a bad meal. The pizza, lasagna and especially the chicken parmigiana are all my personal favorites. Good salads. Service is always good. Friday and Saturday evenings are usually busy and seating indoors is limited so beware but definitely worth it.

  • 5/5 Chyanne P. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot say enough how much I loved loved loved this dining experience! The atmosphere is so peaceful from the lighting to the music! Our server was very attentive and patient. And the food is to die for LITERALLY! The best food I have ever had. I ordered the chicken florentine and gosh let me say please try for yourself😁

  • 5/5 D F. 2 years ago on Google
    Astounding deep dish pizza, limocello cake, and stuffed mushrooms! Our server was the topnotch, as well. It was an absolutely wonderful dining experience!!! Thank you to all of the team at Maciano's!

  • 5/5 Ron L. 2 years ago on Google
    We have been ordering pizza from Macianos for several years. Last night's order was typical of our past experiences: an easy, quick phone order from a courteous employee, a delivery within 45 minutes by a cheerful driver, and a hot pizza just as we ordered, and a cold dessert (tiramisu for two). This was our first order of tiramisu and it was delicious. Our experience confirmed our opinion that we need not bother ordering from anywhere else!

  • 1/5 Debra F. 2 years ago on Google
    I was taken aback when the delivery guy left our pizza on the front porch in the cold and NEVER even bothered to ring the doorbell. We never requested contactless delivery and even if we did, the door bell should have been rung to notify us. We have been regular customer prior to this delivery and never had this experience. I called the restaurant and the response was less than favorable to make up for this incident

  • 5/5 Deb G. 1 year ago on Google
    The pizza was amazing. My boys rated it as in the top three of the pizzas They have ever eaten. (and they have eaten a lot of pizza)! The online ordering was super easy. the cinnamon bread was yummy. Will definitely be back! Thank you!

  • 1/5 Miguel G. 2 years ago on Google
    Came to eat between my son’s 2 soccer games. We told our server no less than 3 times we were in a hurry. They said “it was not a problem,” the said everything was “fast.” It took more than an hour to get the first dish. We were late to the tournament and had everything to go…. I do understand problems might happen, but it is not acceptable not to own the problem or do something to resolve them. Never coming back!

  • 5/5 Susan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Another employee where I work gets Maciano’s pizza and treats before she goes home and it always smelled sooooooo good. This Sunday I took the plunge and was delighted with my 14” double dough pie with sausage, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. What a treat! I will certainly order again!

  • 5/5 Anne Veteran w. 2 years ago on Google
    Always love the deep dish. We moved to TN and nobody has as good pizza for miles. Came to town last week and had to bring home a surprise deep dish for the hubby. Thanks again for accommodating me for my travels.

  • 5/5 Axel W. 2 years ago on Google
    Best pizza in town, Best Breadsticks in America. We ordered delivery, food arrived hot and fresh. Driver was nice and very polite. Placed our order and estimated delivery time was about an hour, our food arrived well before and hour, THANK YOU maciano's, we appreciate everything about your restaurant and service.

  • 1/5 Asiaa E. 3 years ago on Google
    Pizza was ok.. seemed undercooked and the breadsticks where overcooked and extremely hard.

  • 5/5 Sarah T. 3 years ago on Google
    Always hot and delicious!

  • 5/5 Leslie W. 3 years ago on Google
    We love there food never had a bad dish. Excellent pizza my personal favorite deep dish . Good job guys.

  • 4/5 Ray & Mary S. 3 years ago on Google
    Pizza needed to be done a little more. Both were soggy in the middle.Overall a very good pizza.

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    We catered for an event in Roscoe, IL. The phone call to take my order was a great experience; descriptive of what items were included in the catering package we wanted, very smooth, and no missing details. The day of the party the delivery was right on time. The food was very good - even my Chicago family members said the Italian beef was some of the best they have had. We ordered for 25-30, had 22 guests and still have enough leftovers for my family of 5 for a couple days. I highly recommend Maciano's from this experience.

  • 5/5 w f. 6 months ago on Google
    Pizza was excellent. Sausage actually had great flavor and green peppers and onions were slices. Crust I had was this and crispy. Nice quiet atmosphere. Soda though was week on flavor

  • 5/5 Donna A. 6 months ago on Google
    We had our Dad’s funeral catered by Maciano’s. So I can’t really rate the atmosphere. Everything else was a 5 star plus! Excellent service, food, and value! Everyone who attended the funeral luncheon commented on how good everything thing was. The only down side was we had plenty of food and maybe could have ordered less. We will definitely be using Maciano’s again! 😊

  • 2/5 Miata P. 8 months ago on Google
    Customer service is amazing, the guy that works the front is really nice. Food is disappointing. I originally left with tortellini for take out and all the sauce poured into the bag. I opened the pasta and the sauce was so thin and runny. They were nice about replacing it with a lasagna but the sauce was off as well. Maybe the cook is new? Every restaurant has their days and maybe this was a bad day idk.

  • 5/5 Peter 10 months ago on Google
    I ordered food for a funeral luncheon and the staff was wonderful, delivery and set up was seamless and the food was plentiful and delicious!! Will use again in the future and would strongly recommend. Italian Beef sandwiches, meatballs and Italian sausages were fantastic. Guests really enjoyed. Thank you for taking the worry out of our stressful day.

  • 5/5 Tanesha R. 10 months ago on Google
    I've dined in quite a few times since moving to the area about a year ago. Last nice was the 1st time we chose delivery. I ordered at 8:38 pm. My pie was delivered fresh and hot by 9:15 pm. I was shocked and it was made perfectly to our specifications. Classic sausage with spinach, crispy bacon and roasted garlic added. Also the delivery man was polite ,pleasant quick and kind! We will choose delivery more often

  • 5/5 Michelle Den H. 5 months ago on Google
    I have ordered from here several times the thin crust pizza.. Very good and tasty never disappointed. Cinnamon sticks and salads are also very good. One day soon I will ve trying deep dish and expect it to also not disappoint 😁 Moving to the area I was worried about finding a great pizza place I found it!!!! I ordered again got the chopped salad Delicious 😋 For pizza usually so pepperoni this time added garlic, spinach, and roasted red peppers thin crust; Highly recommend....

  • 3/5 Jessica H. 9 months ago on Google
    We stopped here with a craving for deep dish pizza. We got the sausage deep dish and it was unlike most I've had before. Instead of tomato sauce on top, they put large chunks of diced tomatoes... which I wasn't a big fan of. Also, they didn't put much of the sausage topping on the pizza. The service is good. They're busy, but they swing around all the tables to ask if anyone needs anything. I liked the atmosphere. It's a clean and cozy little place. Not sure if I'd come back again for the pizza, but it was a nice restaurant overall.

  • 5/5 Corey P. 9 months ago on Google
    My family was in town for a baseball tournament and we stumbled upon this gem! The dishes were good size portions, came out quick & hot, staff was great and food was decently priced. Definitely enjoyed our time here.

  • 1/5 Kyle L. 11 months ago on Google
    Usual your pizza is really good. Unfortunately this time not so much. Very upsetting, and for the price of $56 for a 4 topping Medium thin crust pizza, small cheese, and appetizer chicken strips is absolutely Ridiculous. So many pizza places in town that are better in price and better pizza. Sad day. I will not recommend your place for pizza to anyone again!

  • 5/5 Jenna B. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered pizza for lunch for our office group...sooo good! Too good actually, we all felt like taking naps afterward! 😂😂 thanks!

  • 4/5 Kimberly K. 1 year ago on Google
    I order an Italian beef sandwich w/ mozzarella cheese on garlic bread, wings. The wings were good and sandwich was too but it had an Italian sausage on it and no cheese, they messed my order up. But I ate it bcuz I was hungry and it was very tasty

  • 5/5 Nate M. 11 months ago on Google
    My favorite Rockford-area pizza place! Food is terrific and you can’t go wrong with most of their dishes. For the price, you get a pretty hefty amount of food. Highly Recommend as your next pizza place to try!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars - Amazing Pizza at Maciano's Pizza & Pastaria! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of indulging in the mouthwatering pizza at Maciano's Pizza & Pastaria, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! 🍕😍🍕 From the first bite to the last, their pizza exceeded all expectations and left me craving more. Maciano's truly knows how to craft a pizza that is both delicious and memorable. The flavors, the quality of ingredients, and the perfect balance of toppings and crust are what make their pizza stand out from the rest. 🍕🔥🧀 The crust deserves special mention. It was light, yet slightly crispy on the outside, while maintaining a soft and chewy texture on the inside. The crust provided the perfect foundation for the incredible combination of flavors that awaited with each slice. It held up beautifully, ensuring that every bite was as enjoyable as the first. 🍕👌🍞 The variety of toppings available at Maciano's is impressive, catering to all tastes and preferences. From classic options like pepperoni and sausage to gourmet choices like roasted vegetables and artisan cheeses, there is something for everyone. Each topping was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, making every bite a burst of deliciousness. 🍅🌶️🧀 The sauce was another highlight. It was robust, tangy, and perfectly seasoned, complementing the other ingredients and tying everything together harmoniously. It added that extra layer of flavor that took the pizza to the next level. It's clear that Maciano's takes great care in crafting their sauce to ensure a memorable pizza experience. 🍅🍝👨‍🍳 Not only was the pizza exceptional, but the service and atmosphere at Maciano's were also noteworthy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their pizza. They provided excellent recommendations, ensuring that each customer finds their perfect slice of pizza bliss. The cozy and inviting ambiance made dining at Maciano's a truly enjoyable experience. 🍕🤝😊 Whether you're a pizza aficionado or simply love a good slice, Maciano's Pizza & Pastaria is a must-visit. Their dedication to creating exceptional pizzas with quality ingredients, combined with their friendly service, make them a standout choice. I wholeheartedly recommend Maciano's to anyone in search of the ultimate pizza experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    my family and I have been coming here for years and it’s always delicious. We came back Into town recently and stopped by. We ordered pasta and my favorite, the breadsticks. The pasta had so so much flavor along with the sauce. Our food was hot and our server was so nice. The breadsticks are still my personal favorite, the coat of olive oil and garlic and Parmesan goes together so well. Then dipping it in the marinara sauce is the best.

  • 1/5 Maggie 1 year ago on Google
    The amount of food you get for the price is good but man was the food horrible which really was disappointing. The amount of oil in my red sauce (no meat) was beyond unenjoyable, they have really gone down hill since Covid with not any flavor. Definitely won’t be back anytime soon. I hope the other food or pizza they offer is still good. Stay clear from pastas, garlic bread or overcooked sausages.

  • 5/5 J J. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here with my wife for the first time and had the baked lasagna and the chicken florentine. Everything was delicious! Got 2 tiramisu desserts to go and I highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 rick f. 1 year ago on Google
    When we are in the mood for a Chicago Style pizza, Maciano's is our local pizza of choice. Had not been here in a while but once again the pizza did not disappoint. Only one waitress was working, probably can't get help like every other restaurant in town, so the service was a bit slow but not unreasonably slow. Pizza is very subjective but if you haven't tried their Chicago pizza I recommend you give it a go.

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, this is hands down the BEST pizza and bread sticks I've ever had. The bread sticks are like nothing else. The property had wine available to purchase. The seating area had more of a fancy look than that of a typical pizza place. Very clean and modern. I'd come back over and over again if I lived in Illinois!

  • 5/5 Roy S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food! We ordered pizza, wings and a slice of chocolate cake. Delivery took way too long for a Friday night so I’ll be doing pick up next time.

  • 1/5 Bill L. 3 years ago on Google
    Well just got my spaghetti and meatball dinner delivered to me. Must be "who cares" Friday because the tiny serving of pasta I got was swimming in the sauce. The meatballs were mushy. The delivery was fast. Do not want to order from there again. From reading the reviews I noticed that people who ordered dinners were disappointed .

  • 5/5 Tim H. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent pizza and mini breadsticks.

  • 5/5 Sara O. 3 years ago on Google
    Always amazingly good quality pizza!!! Great friendly service with great delivery service. Always happy with the quality of the food and the excellent service.

  • 5/5 Jeffery H. 3 years ago on Google
    Easily best place in town to get pizza. May be a little expensive for some, but well worth it the multiple times my wife and I have gotten it

  • 5/5 Daniel A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Kartik P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great pizza but over priced

  • 5/5 Dan 3 years ago on Google
    We ordered a large pizza for dinner. It was ready for pick up within 30 minutes. It was still hot when we got home. Our pizza tasted great and made to order. We will definitely get pizza again from Macianos in the near future.

  • 5/5 Pearl T. 3 years ago on Google
    The pizza I ordered was exactly the way I wanted it and it was very delicious and extremely flavorful and really tasty I enjoyed it greatly

  • 5/5 Brian S. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is always great. Tried a Calzone this time, and it did not disappoint! Ordered a side salad with all of the extra ingredients, and it was on point!

  • 4/5 AC S. 3 years ago on Google
    Called to have a couple pizzas delivered to the guys at a Discount Tire center. Girl that took the call was very pleasant. Let me pay ahead of time and add tip for the driver. It was delivered promptly to the guys working for lunch. No complaints from the guys whom devoured it.

  • 5/5 Randy S. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely the best lasagna in the Rockford area. Their Caesar’s salad really rocks, too. Add to that a friendly and dedicated staff. What more can I say?

  • 5/5 Mrz.V C. 3 years ago on Google
    Placed a catering order from Maciano & it was delicious! The food was ready on time and was nice and hot when we picked it up. The only thing is I wish they would have giving us more bread for the beef & sausage combo. However everything was AMAZING!

  • 5/5 Shawndra F. 3 years ago on Google
    My son usually doesn’t like Chicago deep dish pizza but he wanted to try it and I said let’s try Macianos. Great choice!! He absolutely loved it and so do I! Best pizza ever!!

  • 5/5 Doug L. 3 years ago on Google
    The stuffed pizza was amazing and hot like it came out of the oven at my door. The delivery driver was very courteous and professional. I would give them more than 5 if possible.

  • 5/5 Reem S. 3 years ago on Google
    I had them cater my Xmas day meal so I received the meal packed up cold for next day to reheat, it was great! everything was cooked to perfection everyone loved the food. I would go back and order for other occasions. Great Italian food.

  • 5/5 michael c. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered the spaghetti Bolognese, with Italian sausage. The sausage was awesome as well as the spaghetti. The bread is great too . My wife ordered the chicken Florentine and we got some chocolate cake. All was great! I hope they look into there meatballs though. I won’t order it cause I felt they don’t taste that great . Would be nice to order and toggle between the two. I am sure they could solve it. Guess they seem mushy and bland too me when I have had them in the past. Won’t stop me from ordering other things in the future but if you don’t tell the chef he won’t know.

  • 4/5 Big Wolf Motorcycle T. 5 years ago on Google
    Haven't been here in a few years. Breadsticks are still amazing and pretty good pizza too.

  • 5/5 Tina T. 3 years ago on Google
    We love the pizza! The Chicken Alfredo is another one of my favorites. Delivery drivers always polite!

  • 5/5 Rosa S. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome pizza and breadsticks. Just recently tried their Hawaiian pizza and it was amazing! Love this place.

  • 5/5 April M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great eggplant parm!! The garlic bread was toasted perfectly.

  • 1/5 conner e. 3 years ago on Google
    Refused to deliver to me because I was "outside their delivery zone" (in NW machesney park, they've delivered to me before) I didnt realize pizza places dont drive more than 10 minutes anymore. They were happy to refer me to to Harrison location, which is literally twice as far. I've only been once but I wont be trying again.

  • 5/5 Dawn A. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent lasagna! It's all about the sauce and theirs is the best!!

  • 4/5 Tony S. 3 years ago on Google

    Awesome Pizza

  • 5/5 Ryan J. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is always fantastic! We especially love the salad and bread sticks. Delivery was quick as well.

  • 3/5 Jeff S. 3 years ago on Google
    The pizza was one of the best thin crust pizzas we have had in a while. On the other side of the coin, when we went to pick it up I went inside and they said it wasn’t quite ready yet and that they would bring it out. They never did. After about 15 min I went back in and there it was sitting nice and cold. No apologies either. Good pizza, bad service. That day anyway.

  • 5/5 onemagiclady L. 3 years ago on Google
    Yesterday was the first time I tried this Pizza. Great pizza and they delivered in horrible weather! They also told me about the coupon deal they had at that moment, Thank you!!!!

  • 5/5 Tracy P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great pizza & bread knots ♥️

  • 4/5 Paul S. 3 years ago on Google
    Pizza was excellent and Austin was very nice. Gave 4 stars because I tried ordering online, but the website is not user friendly. Probably will not come as often if I have trouble ordering online.

  • 4/5 Mattie M. 3 years ago on Google
    Good. Order was delivered and placed in the snow. They made it right. The 4? Star because of the initial delivery.
