Monical's Pizza

Reviewed By Ricardo59IL

Monical's is a central Illinois chain and my wife and I have always loved their thin crust pizza. We had dinner here in June and we've eaten at many of the other Illinois locations and the service and food quality is very consistent. Prices are very reasonable. No frills, quick service, good pizza.

Giordano's

Famous Chicago-style deep dish pizza right in your neighborhood. Visit us for a family-friendly atmosphere and delicious food or order your meal online for pickup or delivery.

Reviewed By Carib G

I don't think you can go wrong with Giordano's pizza, it's iconic and beyond delicious. This location has a really neat building and atmosphere. The seating a tiny bit crowded, but it doesn't take away from the experience. Remember that for the deep dish pizza, it's about an hour wait for the food. Worth it!

We have dined here several times, it's average franchise food and the employees are college students that turn over every semester.On this particular evening meal we had the Idonesian Peanut and the Pad Thai both with Chicken.Both entrees were good, but not authentic from an Asian restaurant.They do have several gluten free items which my girlfriend appreciates.

Rosati's Pizza-Normal

Reviewed By ANR_78

We picked up Rosati's again the other night and I was happy with the order. I thought the pizza could have stayed in the oven another minute or two but it's usually more done than it was on this round so no biggie. The salad was adequate and the house dressing is tasty so it's a pretty good meal for the price.

I am obsessed with the food here. You can't get a better deal than this place. The calzones are massive and there are tons of varieties to choose from. This has a little bit of everything and is the perfect take-out food.

Avanti's Italian Restaurant

Reviewed By DickJ516

This restaurant has been a part of the ISU area and life for many years! Located on Main St right in the heart of Illinois State University this small but very busry restaurant is extremely well known for its bread, gondola sandawiches, spaghetti, and pizza. It has also become a favorite of the local crowd as well. A second Avanti's Restaurant Resyaurant has opened near the Bloomington Airport. Both restaurant's have the same good menu's and great service Both restaurants are family and oriented, very reasonably priced, serve god food and have fast service. They do have carry out sdrvice that you can either call ahead for or order when you get there with only a short wait. Their carry out department has their own entrance which makes for far less congestion in a busy restaurant. Items to try on the menu include: the godola sandwich..a submarine type sdandwich. which can be orderd either by whole or half. Their Pizza Burger which made with meat balls. Pizza of most any kinda you may want but is only average. The french onion soup is good and topped with melted cheese! The tomato sauce they use has gone through many changes over the years so ...you judge for yourself....Parking at this store can be difficult because Main Street is so busy. Use the back entrance on Kingsley whenever possible. Parking is straight in and not angled which allows for more cars in the lot. As an aside. This restaurant chain started back in the 1960's in Peoria, Illinois near Bradley. University as a walkup and walk through restaurant while my wife was a student theire.

Lucca Grill

Reviewed By yiannid60

I've been going here for over 3 decades and it's STILL my favorite family go-to when I'm in town. This place is known for alot of things, including their fried mushrooms and fried ravioli, but it's the magnificent A La Baldini pizza that always brings me back time and again! It's a great place for friends, family, and couples.
