Buffo's — Restaurant in Highwood

I came to Buffo's after a commercial I saw on YouTube. My family and myself drove from Chicago to try the double decker pizza. When we walked in, we did not know we had to order and a number was going to be provided and also to get your own soda and pitchers. When my family sat in the table we put the number provided visible. After ordering onion rings and fries, server brought it to the table and one of my family members asked if there was ketchup. Server kindly smiled and stated that it will be right up. Other server in a rude manner told her to tell us to get up and get it ourselves. This was the first time and when I first order my pizza, that was not explained to us. We asked the server another question and we got ignored. We got our pizza which was also burned. After finishing our pizza we were planning on placing another order, when we heard the rude server tell a couple that they had to leave because the room was reserved for a party. I asked my family to get up and leave. Very rude experience and will not be...

Restaurants don't get better than this. They can get more fancy and expensive, but not better. Amazing place for beer call and food with the boys, or an affordable family meal with video games to occupy the kiddos. Indoor and outdoor seating - and if you need extra room outside you just pull two tables together. Beef sandwiches, deep fried veggies, pizza, burgers, Chicago dogs, shrimp, fish & chips, pasta, salads - everything is fantastic. Definitely something for everyone. Owner & family are always there and they really, truly care. You see it in the food and the consistency. I've been going for over 30 years and it's always been wonderful. First with my parents, and now my kiddos. Make this Northshore gem a part of your family lore too. Bonus -- they deliver, have their own parking lot across the street, and they still do counter service (order at counter / they bring the food to your table) so no tipping is expected...

It was ok. We had a double decker pizza, which was indeed a double decker. Basically two pizzas on top of each other. Had a ton of cheese on it. Probably a lot more than most people would like.

One person in our party ordered a hot dog, which was reported to be just ok.

The service was friendly enough, but the hot dog came out probably 20 minutes before the pizza, so we didn't all get to eat together. We were told when we ordered that the pizza takes a longer time, so the wait itself was no problem, but I'm not sure why the whole order didn't come together. Poor kitchen planning.

Love the sidewalk seating, if you can get it. All the tables were either being used, or had reserved signs on them. We got the last open table. Plenty of seating inside though.

If I was in the area and needed to eat, I might try it again, but there's numerous other food choices close by I might be more tempted to...
