The Pizza House — Restaurant in Galesburg

I ordered a few things so let me go down the list so I am clear about my experience:

Service: 4 stars! The person I ordered on the phone for delivery was nice and originally quoted a delivery time of 45 minutes. That sounded reasonable enough, but they made it to my door in a half an hour- nice.

Deluxe med. pizza w/ everything: 4 stars. From the style of thin crust and amount of grease, this is definitely the pub-style pizza I was reading about recently in an online publication. I think it's just the kind of slightly greasy food you want to wash down with some brewskis or your beverage of choice. I could have this again I think. Good slapping a couple of pieces together like a sammich :D

The Atomic Sub (LG): 1 star (sadly). There was just something off about it, a texture perhaps, like some of the veggies weren't washed- I can't put my finger quiet on it. I know I'm spoiled living most of my life near a food mecca like Chicago, but the bread, the amount of mayo that served on a bed for meat and cheese with some veggies. Seemed a little sparse frankly. Ate a bit less than half- think I'll toss the rest. Oh well.

Grilled Chick. salad: 2.5 stars. Just okay really, tasted a little like it had been sitting a while. Well I was ordering at the end of the day, so I get that. I should have known better.

All in all, not awful, but definitely had its weak points. From reading previous reviews, I imagined it might be a mixed bag. Your experience may be...

First of all lets look at the pizza. I have had pizza on the greasy side, but this was way beyond your normal pizza. The box was soggy, and grease, dripped, yes dripped off the pizza. There was probaly enough grease in that pizza to deep fry a turkey in it. It was also thin crust, but not your usual thin crust pizza like you get anywhere elese, oh no, it was thin as cardboard box in came in. Now on to the onion rings. Onion Rings, in proper form, are ring shapped, hence onion rings, but these, excpet for a few, should of been called onion strings. Just as greasy as the pizza, but to make it worse, they had no, whatsoever at all any salt, but the pizza was salty, so somewhere when they were typing up the cook-book, they got SALT ONION RINGS mixed up with LIGHTLY SALT PIZZA. To make it worse, then it already is, when we went to get this so-called food, somehow unluckily labled fit for human consumption, 3 seconds out the door, we noticed no onion rings. So we went back in and asked, but we may as well have been speaking swahali, it took 3 mentions of "Where is our onion rings?" to turn some gears in thier little deep-fried head. All in all stay away from this greaseball off...

I now remember why it has been more than three years since we last visited Pizza House. I give 2 stars only because of the one wonderful waitress we met the last time we were there. Each time we go the orders are wrong. This time we ordered take out again order for my small pizza was wrong with extra olives on it when we explicitly stated NO OLIVES. The Taco bake was mac n cheese with unidentifiable items in it and stale chips in a toddler size portion. Truly and know I don't expect large portions by any means, but my 4 yr old would not have been satisfied with it even if it had been edible. The sub sandwich was drenched in mayo and soggy tomatoes almost nothing else. Garlic bread surly was made with stale bread. It could not even be chewed. Visit at your own risk of being dissatisfied with the food and...
