10. Nancy's Chicago Pizza
Overall Ratings
4 based on 55 reviews
Reviewed By maiagaia
Recently we stayed in a hotel near downtown Springfield with no clear idea of where to go for dinner. We wanted something simple and not too cashy. The hotel had brochures for Nancy's; selections looked like what we wanted. We were thrilled to share a Cesar salad and a small Chicago style stuffed pizza ( I think it was Tony's Special) We do not have huge appetites so a personal to share would have worked fine.. Our bill was a little cashy for pizza ($40 with including tip). Be careful ordering the pizzas...all toppings except cheese are ala carte. I believe Nancy's has an online menu so you can plan ahead of time. They also deliver to at least a 2 1/2 mile radius (that's how far our hotel was from the business)Would we go back? Definitely! Would we order smarter? Certainly!
9. Joe Gallina's Pizza & Restaurant

Seeing that Gallina's Pizza has been in business for years, we decided to give it a try while visiting Springfield. There's nothing fancy about the restaurant, but the pizza was delicious. The sauce was thinner and sweeter than we are used to and there was a thin layer of cheese covering our pepperoni and black olives. A 14" size was more than enough for my husband and me. I especially enjoyed watching the variety of customers coming and going - a bus driver, some young kids, and even a couple dressed in formal attire. It turned out, they were part of a wedding party. I'm glad we went.

That was the right choice at this pleasant Italian restaurant. The meal was very balanced and cooked just right - Chicken was tender, Fettucine was not over (or under-) cooked, Marinara sauce didn't overpower the whole meal, and Grilled Veggies were very tasty.The meal was excellent , the service was attentive, warm and amiable - Italian style! The restaurant has a nice, welcoming ambiance. The location of Mario's Italian Restaurant is great too - on E Clear Lake Ave, off I-55.We enjoyed our dinner very much. Grazie!

This is essentially a bar and pizza place, but serves very good pastas and salads. I had a delicious shrimp linguini, and my wife had a huge Cobb salad with chicken. Decor is plain, and atmosphere informal. Our servers were very friendly. Prices very reasonable.

We went there for dinner and could not have had a better time. The service was exceptional and the decor was of the Rat Pack vintage. It is an old style bar restaurant with food to die for. I had lasagna and it was great. My wife had antipasto insalata which was also exceptional. The butterscotch cannoli was delicious. The wait staff were there when you needed them and could not have been better. We highly recommended this restaurant.

Nice atmosphere, decent service, and a meal which my wife enjoyed but I did not. The difference was that I do not enjoy marinara sauce that is sweet. I do have toshare that everything was fresh including the Caesar salad.

Came with a group. We ate in a back room (the room was nice, but it was super cold and the music was ridiculously loud) the server was harried, but she did pretty good. They were a little disorganized. The food, however, was solid. It was good food that was just very satisfying. They had good prices and good portions. The bread was amazing. We enjoyed the visit.

We were staying at the Country Inn and decided we would have a pizza delivered. I ordered the meat lover's pizza. They said it would be there in 45 minutes to an hour. 30 minutes after ordering they were knocking on my door. Pizza was steaming hot and only a $3.00 delivery charge which I thought was very reasonable. The pizza was very good with plenty of toppings and good flavor. I would recommend it and would eat here again.
