Award-Winning Moretti's pan and thin crust Chicago-style pizza is just the most famous part of our large menu. We offer a varied selection of Italian and American dishes, both classic and modern for lunch and dinner in a friendly atmosphere. The dining ro

Business lunch, portions were good size. I ordered the pizza & salad lunch special. Salad was a mix of iceberg and very little romaine. My pizza was just average & a bit overcooked, my coworkers pizza was burned with black chard pieces, can't believe they even served him this. I've had better pizza.
7. White Cottage Pizzeria

This restaurant is somewhat like a fast food. Pizza is already cooked but you can order to taste. If you like very thin crust pizza, don't come here. The pizza is thick and tastes good. Price is average. They do have a drive thru for pick up.

Maciano's is a lovely little casual Italian Restaurant. Upon entering and being seated at a booth or table, your server will bring complimentary Ciabatta Bread with Olive Oil and Fresh grated Parmesan Cheese to enjoy while looking over the menu and daily specials. The crusty bread is delicious. So is the Caprese Salad offered as a side, regular or large portion choices. The dinner entrees' were so delicious that we went back a week later to try something new. Our favorites were Chicken Florentine served with garlic mashed potatoes, Scallops Oreganata, and Chicken Marsala. We found the sauces on the dishes to be thin but flavorful. Our remedy was dipping the bread in the sauce so we didn't mind the consistency after all. Nice neighborhood Italian Restaurant with a quaint and well-appointed décor playing soft music creating a nice dining experience. Enjoy!

5. Dominick's Pizzeria & Restaurant

After a recent round of golf our foursome stopped by Dominick's for dinner. Wow, were we impressed! The storefront is fairly generic (in a strip mall), but the interior was extremely inviting and comfortable. The menu was quite varied and had pretty much whatever you'd like in a fine Italian meal. The Rigatoni with sausage and vodka sauce was spot on and my fellow golfers enjoyed the shrimp scampi and lasagna. Complement that with a fine salad and outstanding bread and we had a terrific meal. For kicks we had cannolis for dessert - excellent! We'll be back to try more from their full menu. The service was also outstanding!

Pizza is totally subjective....One man's bliss is another's food poisoning. This place is one of my personal FAVORITES. I have only ordered takeout through their online ordering app---you can choose the time you'd like to pick it up. My pizza has always been ready, waiting, and HOT when I arrive. It's a bit expensive (?) at $20+ for a 14 inch cheese, sausage, and green olive....but, delicious and, as a single, I'm able to get 4-6 meals out of one order. So, it's easy to justify the cost. The crust is tasty and crispy. The ingredients are ample and evenly placed on the crust. The options for toppings are extensive. I've also had pepperoni - very good.

I have never had Chicago style pizza before. This pizza is to die for! The crust is perfect! I wish we had one in Missouri.

I've eaten here a couple times and though it's fine-- it's not my favorite place. More of a sports bar setting with outdoor seating available in nicer weather, it has a pretty diverse clientele. For me, I find their pizza overpriced and fairly bland. I don't care for their sauce. Their burgers/sandwiches are pretty good. Not one of my first choices if I was entertaining guests.

From dining in to carrying out to big lunch catering orders - Cafe Roma never disappoints us. The food is always fresh, delicious and seasoned perfectly. The service is always wonderful and the owner Frank is so great! We order a variety of catering items and they have always been wonderful. Salads are always crisp and fresh - never brown. Meats are always hot and tasty. Sides are always plentiful and flavorful. Best restaurant in the area - hands down!
