Pizzeria Aroma — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Notice how almost ALL their 1 star reviews are about bad service? It’s all true I went more into detail on yelp but basically Me and my friends went there and left a tip and we're waiting outside for a friend to finish using the bathroom The owner runs out and says have u never been to a restaurant before? If you're going to leave a 0% GO TO MCDONALDS. I say we did leave a tip? It's on the table and he yells WELL ITS NOT THERE. And leaves then I run in and take 1 look at the table and our tip is there THEY CLEANED THE TABLE AND THEY STILL DIDNT SEE IT??? Anyways I say SIR. And pick up up the cash show him and throw it back down then he says I'm sorry. And I js leave and his wife was trying to explain to us why he did that and we still didn’t care. You don’t talk to people like that. The owner was rude and I feel sorry for the boy who made a mistake and probably will get punished for his bosses even BIGGER mistake. Read the 1 star reviews and READ THE OWNERS REPLIES. There’s a clear difference from when the owner is replying and his wife is. this wife was sweet, the workers were sweet. The owner ruined it all. )also if you’re going to blame your mistakes on your own customers using grub hub and Ubereats to order and calling it their mistake then WHY do you have a Uber eats and grub hub? I have no problem ordering from Uber eats but apparently it happens to only your place? Don’t blame these other customers for your mistake.) He states he’s made 20 million in sales but press his customers for not leaving an OPTIONAL tip? how lame. Only thing I regret is not taking my money back. ALSO! Replying to the owners reply! We put the tip under in the middle of the table actually! Check your cameras before you accuse me of something. Second I was the 1 who tips and my boyfriend was the one who went up to pay the actual bill. He didn’t know how much I was going to tip so he didn’t write it. take a second to think! And it’s not my fault that YOU decided to not check and make a decision without thinking first! Also I didn’t owe you a tip EITHER WAY! If I had not tipped that wouldn’t give any right to yell at customers like that! I also like you to read the part where it says YOU CLEANED THE TABLE AND STILL didn’t see it? When I walked back in the tip was not where I put it and NO ONE in my group had moved it. MEANING YOUR employees had picked it up and moved it. Meaning he SAW it. grow up man, and take responsibility for your actions. also why would I write the tip on the receipt? I wanted to leave a CASH tip. You only write it on the receipt if it’s a card tip. Even as a highschooler I know how to take accountability. Remember! This isn’t high school so use your...

I have been eating here for 10 years, at least (since my mother lives in the area). When I first had something on their menu, I thought, "Wow, the quality of their food is pretty great". I am very particular about food quality and consistency, so of course I tried the food again. It was exceptional again. Fast forward ten years and I have now had many things on the menu and generally stick to my regular order, but every now and then I'll order something new and it is always a. Delicious b. Excellent in quality c. Consistent d. Wont break the bank. Had not been to the new location (the restaurant was upgraded to a place with a full bar and moved down the street) so I was having some friends come in from Barrington and thought that I would take them to the new location. Two days before that, I had left my very first (and last) text review on GrubHub and got a response the next day from the owner (whom I had never met prior). My friends and I ate here Sunday and met Jimmy and let me tell you about this guy. He is the epitome of hospitality. Very down-to-earth, relatable, caring, most of all, passionate about food as, well as the preparation and quality of what he serves. After meeting Jimmy, I now know the reason that all of the food on his menu is consistent. He takes pride in his craft and his business and I am proud to be able to support another local business, as well, I felt so welcomed coming in sunday afternoon that I came again on Tuesday to enjoy more of the food. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant (if that wasn't clear from...

A Hidden Gem in the Neighborhood — We’ll Be Back!

My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Pizzeria Aroma in Chicago. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.

We kicked things off with their handcrafted margaritas—balanced, fresh, and perfectly made. Then came the salads, which were far from your standard “simple” dinner salads. Each ingredient was neatly chopped, fresh, and beautifully presented.

For dinner, we ordered three gluten-free pizzas: a 10" gluten-free pizza for me, another 10" flat pizza with cheese, sausage, and veggies for my wife, and a medium cheese and sausage pizza to bring home for the kids. Every pie was flavorful, crisp, and clearly made with care—gluten-free or not.

To cap off the evening, we shared a slice of flourless chocolate cake sourced from a local, family-owned bakery. Rich, satisfying, and—like everything else—completely gluten-free.

Service throughout the meal was superb: attentive, friendly, and relaxed, which made our lazy 4th of July dinner feel like a real break from the grind.

This is a family-run spot that takes pride in its food and it shows. We’ll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu—especially after reading so many other glowing reviews. Pizzeria Aroma is officially on our go-to...
