We had the decadent parmesan truffle fries -- definitely enough for two and, depending on what else you are ordering, enough for four. We also had the deep-dish spin art pizza (spinach, artichokes, diced red peppers, cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, and fresh tomato sauce), which was outstanding -- and serves 4 - 5. There are booths and tables, plus a fireplace. There is a case near with entrance with to-go pizzas to bake at home, and I was told that they could freeze your preferred pizza for home baking if you give them enough lead time.Georgio's is located in downtown Crystal Lake, across from the train station. There is ample street and lot parking.

We stopped and had dinner here with friends before heading over to the Raue center. The service was extremely good, and our server was very patient with my wife who is gluten-free and extremely cautious about what she is eating. My overall opinion on the food was it that it was very good. I had the egg plant Parmesan, and tasted the chicken Parmesan. For my money, I would go with the chicken Parmesan on my next visit. Meatballs ordered as a side dish weâre well portioned and very tasty. We thought the marinara sauce, was a little bit overpowering on the garlic side. The side salads, were very good, and a few glasses of Chianti, topped the night. Reservations definitely required on a Friday night. Parking nearby at the metra station.

For those old timers in the neighborhood you probably miss Sals pizza, and have been searching for something good ever since. Theres been plenty of pizza places that have come and gone around here, but Papa Saverios has been around for along time but not close enough to deliver. They took over Taylor Streets old location another place that had promise but didnt last. i hope Papa Saverios stays for a long time. ive eaten there for lunch and they have great specials, not too many pizza places do lunch and sell slices, but theyre good. The thing that has them on the top of the list was that they now have online ordering. I was one of the first online orders and they were quick to call and verify that the order came through right.The girl who called to check on my order was very polite and asked all the appropriate questions about the whole online order process and gave us a discount for answering their questions. We got a large thin crust with some wings. As nice as the girl on the phone was; the food did not arrive very hot. We live in a remote spot so i wasnt too surprised but it was warm enough to eat a slice (I had the oven preheating just in case) while the rest of the pizza and wings got reheated. Let me say that the wings are AWESOME! I ordered mild and they had flavor with some heat and werent drowning in sauce. The wings are cooked perfectly and are full size wings not just drumettes. definitely give them a try. The pizza was good (despite putting in the oven) the sauce was good, a little more wouldnt have hurt and the crust a tad crispier and it would have been perfect. i definitely recommend giving them a try. ill be ordering from then again and hopefully for years to come.

We've been waiting a long time for this location to open. The owners used to have the store at the corner of Algonquin and Randall, and closed it, relocating here.One word: Cheezy! Very generous amounts of mozzarella, along with most any topping you'd like. They deliver, within a certain range.
