Wow! Came in on a Friday night. No one was in the restaurant but orders were backed up. There was only one person working and he was apologitic when telling us it would be an hour for our pizza. Thankfully we decided to order and took our things to the hotel while we waited.
The restaurant is not conducive for eating in. Only about four tables with one chair at each table and I didn't see any soda machine so I'm not sure what types of drinks they have. We ordered a large pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham and mushrooms (we also wanted bacon but they had run out). We asked about extra cheese and he said he's never had anyone complain about how much he puts on so we left it alone.
After about 45 minutes we returned to pick up our pizza and it was hot and ready. We requested plates and napkins which were given with a smile.
The crust was thick but the sauce made it a bit soggy on the bottom but not enough to make it fall apart. Toppings were plentiful, big chunks and fresh. The sauce was delicious with that definite home made taste. The cheese was enough and tasty.
Our 14 inch was $19, so not too bad. Parking is in the back and again since it doesn't seem like an eat in place the parking wasn't a problem.
The order taker/pizza maker was very friendly even though he was extremely busy. He made jokes and was pleasant both times coming in.
I would definitely recommend this place...
Read moreThe food was good. There was a long wait so I suggest anyone who already knows what they want call at least an hour in advance. The owner is a really nice guy. I believe he does everything himself so that explains the wait. I ordered two deluxe gyros for me and my oldest son. Quite frankly, I could've gotten one to feed me and both of my sons. He definitely gives you your money's worth. I also ended up purchasing a discounted pizza someone ordered and did not pick up. It was definitely the best pizza I've tasted in Peoria and I've been searching for 8 years. Thank you to the no show. I now have a new pizza joint because of you. I never would've ordered...
Read moreThis place is awesome. Set in the bottom corner of an old building. Nothing fancy at all but the food is where the magic is. The man has been making great food for Peoria area for decades. Skills handed down from his father many years ago still being created today. I've been coming here for almost 20 years and have been never had a bad experience. Some of the very best pizza I've ever had, probably in my top 3 favorite pizzas in my 51 years of being on this planet. It doesn't just stop with pizza , he also had many other wonderful items on his menu like sandwiches, salads and gyros with Lebanese and...
