Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

The staff were friendly and exceptional. I would go back for them alone. I used a coupon and they welcomed it with open hands even joking about how cheap my dinner was going to be. The veggie pizza was better than I remember. Lots of veggies, it was delish! The one thing I would change is that the middle of the pizza became soggy :-/ Other than that, I will be back.

This is my favorite restaurant in the Palatine area. They have great thin crust pizza that isn't too expensive. Plus you can order it by the slice. However, my favorite is their oven grinder sandwich. So good! Great fast food place that is much better than a chain restaurant. We go here almost once a week.
(5)Latha C.
Ok, so the atmosphere is nice...a trendy sort of dive in the burbs, but the food, oh the food! Two thumbs wayyyyy down for this place....the sandwiches were bad and the pizza was even worse. I don't know if it's cuz I grew up in the city and I have had some great grinders in my life, but their cheesesteaks were just not cutting it for me. I would prefer the cheesesteaks at the Great Steak and Potato Company (I think that's the name) at the food court in a mall than this. It was not worth the money or the trip! Customer service was good and the atmosphere was kindda cool, and that was about it!
(2)Carol L.
The pizza here is not even worthy of Chuckie Cheese Status. I am not sure what others are talking about, being the best pizza around, they clearly have not tried other pizza in the area. The sauce was perhaps out of a can and the cheese has a horrible after taste to it. The crust was not much better than the other components. As a side note, if you don't know it's there, it is very easy to miss.
(1)Thomas L.
Veal Parm was very nice, had marinara sauce, also tasty and fresh. Garlich bread was only so-so.
(4)Anthony P.
Inconsistent with their pizza...sometimes it can be very delicious but other times it's just sloppy.
(3)Matt D.
Thin crust pizza is my favorite, but not many places in Chicagoland do it right. Garibaldi's is an exception. They have great NYC style pizza. You know it's good when you get just a simple cheese pizza and enjoy every bite. A close second to this is Wayne's but Garibaldis is closer to where I live. Oh, and the buffalo wings are surprisingly good too. Just get ranch with them though, their blue cheese dressing isn't very good.
(5)Kevin W.
I used to go to the Garibaldis in Bloomingdale ALL the time as a kid, my family had a sick obession with it I think, but could be a lot worse I suppose! Pizza is always hot and fresh, atmosphere is upbeat and the employees are helpful and courteous. It's just as good as I remembered and anytime I am near Garibaldis seems like a decent reason to visit to me.
(4)Nick K.
Good food, but nothing special. The pasta dish was very good but small. the pizza was huge. The garlic bread wasn't that good. The onion rings were not cooked through all the way. The atmosphere was good for kids and sports fans with the games on
(3)Justin R.
Certain menu items deserve 4 stars, others may deserve 2. Garabaldi's satisfies a particular type of craving: above-average decent and consistent Chicago-style "cheap" food. Some of the outlying menu items that are both delicious and difficult to get elsewhere - namely their "steak supreme" which is a bit like a Philly cheesesteak. I'd recommend you order a steak supreme on garlic bread with extra cheese and seasoned cheese fries (Merkt's).
(4)Chris d.
Had no idea they opened one in this area. Walked in yesterday and they said they just opened that day! Very cool. Everything in my order was nice and fresh, including the classic frozen Lemonade. I'll definitely be back.
(4)Kcmc M.
Best pizza around and very friendly atmosphere when eating in....great family place!
(5)Jon F.
Fantastic food. Their Italian Beef rivals Portillios in my opinion.
(5)Rob W.
For slice pizza, it's OK. I ordered a special - with 2 slices you get a free drink, $8.12 total with tax, not too bad. Slice size was generous, taste itself was alright. While I appreciate getting fresh tasting pizza, sometimes pizza right out of the oven is SO hot that you can't really taste it. I'll have to try other things on their menu next time I go to get a better idea of what they're all about. As far as ordering a whole pizza to take home, there are better places in the area that I would choose first before Garibaldi's.
(3)Howard C.
We like Garibaldi's. Particularly their pizza. The sandwiches are ok. Great bread, yet their could be a bit more meat. I generally gauge an place like this by their chicken parm sub. Theirs is decent enough. I've had better, I've had worse. Their pizza is one of the better thin crusts around. Great atmosphere inside also. Just a cool, family friendly vibe.
(4)Joseph P.
Years ago, there was a G's nearly across the street from this one, but they gave up as Town & Country Mall slowly died. Now, about 10 years later they are back, with essentially the same menu, only bigger, and they even have one of the same people working there! As before, the hot subs are truly wonderful. The hot Oven Grinder, Steak Supreme, and Beef Grinder are fantastic, and about the same price as similar sized "double meat" subs at Subway. Cold subs are pretty good too, but the hot ones are where they shine. The Steak Italiano platter is really a slightly larger sub without the bread, served on a plate with half a sub roll made up as garlic bread. A great option. The pizza can be fantastic, both the International and the Hot Italian especially, but beware, a 16" is really a large pizza.
(5)Stephanie M.
This is some of the best pizza in town! My better half is a chef and he agrees simple and perfect. They also sell by the slice so definitely go in there and try it out they also have very reasonable prices!!!!!
(5)Andi S.
I was very excited to see that Garabaldi's is back in the Arlington Heights area. Walking into the facility, it is a very fun atmosphere, lots of cool stuff on the walls to look at. The cashiers are friendly and I LOVE their selection. My favorite is the Wisconsin burger with the cheese fries. Their cheese is a cheddar sauce and has a better, richer flavor than most. (I am a cheese-freak) :-) The only negative thing about this place is the costs... It can really add up and be pretty pricey when I get food for the whole family. It's quality takeout, but not something we could/should be eating everyday. Happy to have them back and will return again!
(4)Melissa M.
GREAT FIND!!!! My family and I were out and about on Memorial Day and came upon this wonderful place!! The food was fantastic and the service was spot on. We live a distance away but will most definitely be back.
(5)Angelina C.
I have had food from here several times since they opened and have never been disappointed. The food is always made fresh, and is always tasty. Too often quick service restaurant food is either overly salted or under seasoned, but that is not the case at Garibaldi's. And if you ever need food delivered fast, they're great at that too. I've had delivery at home as well as at my workplace and it's never been more than 30 minutes, if that.
(4)Scott S.
Excellent customer service and even the manager was extremely nice and my kids ordered pasta and other one ordered a sandwich, my wife and I split a cheese free veggie loves pizza and it was beyond excellent, their food is delicious and they put a ton of the ingrediants you pick on your pizza, they don't get cheap about it like a lot of the other places, this place is great, we will definitely order from here very often excellent food
(5)Brian G.
I've only ever had the pizza. I give it 5 stars because it's delicious, consistent, and has a very unique flavor. Also, if you like cheese pizza, it's a great deal - 16 inch for 12.99.
(5)David K.
Went there recently and the staff and food have improved. Give it a try.
(4)Mark F.
I did go back (twice) This time I ordered the pizza (since it seemed like such a hot commodity the first time). The first time back - I ordered a couple of slices of pizza. Very soft crust and a lot of cheese. The Mrs. had a chopped salad she said was pretty good. The second time back - ordered a burger, my 2-year-old had a kids meal (which came in a paper-folded 1950s car...really cool. He HAD to take it home with him) and my wife tried the gluten free pizza. Sadly, the third time was the most blah time of them all. The gluten-free crust wasn't cooked through all the way and was soft doughy in taste. I would definitely not recommend the burger to anyone. It tasted like the frozen 30-pack kind you buy for a big holiday bbq to hold over a big crowd. The good news is this: pizza by the slice is a good deal and you get a lot of it. The kids meal comes in a cool paper car (and a pencil case). And the sandwiches are pretty good. So, if you avoid the gluten-free crust and burgers...you'll be a-ok. :)
(3)Aaron J.
Great food, service was excellent. Gary took care of getting my daughter a new meal when she did not like the one she ordered. Definitely coming back, very family friendly and great atmosphere.
(5)Eric T.
It is a good place to grab a quick bite I've always liked the papa platter which is great The reason it does not get 5 Stars is not a salad place according to my girlfriend Pizza is good and so is their pasta
(4)Kyle D.
Compared to the many pizza options in the area Garibaldi's is just satisfactory. Average crust, average ingredients, average review. Not bad if you like to pick up your pizza quickly!
(3)Bones J.
Nostalgia. Awesome pizza. Refreshing Italian lemonade. Came in for the first time since visiting the Town & Country location that closed years ago and got two slices of cheese pizza and a large lemonade. The pizza was hot and cheesy and amazing, and the lemonade was ridiculously refreshing. Definitely will be coming back.
(5)Ashley R.
Overall a good experience. Service: quick and friendly service Food: cheese/toppings fell off pizza, taste was ok.. nothing special.. great wings Atmosphere: fun Thank you for the yelp deal! Got a free soda for checking in.
(3)Christine A.
I came here today for a late lunch with my boss and was happy with the food and speed. We both ordered slices of pizza and sodas to go. Two LARGE pieces of pizza (sausage for me, pepperoni for my boss), a free soda, and an additional soda were only $10.95. I really enjoyed my slice of sausage pizza. It was thin, greasy but not too greasy, with a crust with the perfect amount of crunch, and a good amount of sausage, which tasted great. The atmosphere was also cool: kid-friendly 50's retro. There is an Elvis statue, marquee signage, colors all over, and even a fish tank! I love fish tanks. It's the only thing I like about my dentist's office. This is the perfect place to bring your kids on a fun weekend night for dinner. It has a similar vibe to my fond childhood memories of Friday nights at Fuddruckers with my family, but way less dank. The interior is open and spacious. I definitely recommend this place for some indulgent food on a fun Friday night. Kids of all ages will love this place. Plus they serve wine by the glass and bottle for all parents looking for a little relaxation on the side!
(4)Mark J.
Love garibaldi's!! Fast Italian with tasty sauces is what you'll find here. Friday night entertainment with magicians, balloon makers, etc are great for families with kids...portions are big and service is always done right. Great spot for an affordable family meal!
(5)Mike M.
Fantastic friendly staff. Always busy but they never stop smiling
(5)Josh L.
Awesome same as it was when it was at town & country mall.... Italian lemonade's rock

Garibaldi's is a pizza place and general Chicago style eatery I have a reasonable degree of history with visiting. Back when I was a wee lad growing up in the Western suburbs I have vivid memories of seeing the Garibaldi's signage outside of North Park Mall in Villa Park. I also recall stopping in there on a few occasions for Ice Cream cones. Years later when North Park Mall was almost completely empty with just a few operating stores remaining (before transforming into a flea market) I visited again and tried the Pizza and other items before they were closed. There was also another Garibaldi's that opened and closed in Bloomingdale off of Army Trail road that I visited on a few occasions. While going through Arlington Heights I was aware for some time that there was still a Garabaldi's in operation and decided to stop in. The first thing to note about Garabaldi's is that this place has some definitely kitsch style to it. From statues of Elvis, murals of celebrities from the 50s eating there, the whole ambiance of the place is very bright and welcoming.After looking over the options I noticed that they did in fact have a foot long hot dog and decided to order that being the hot dog critic. My friend ordered a slice of pizza. Not too long later our food was ready and it was time to dig in. The foot long hot dog came on a toasted bun. The sausage itself was grilled and came with onions, mustard, relish and tomato on it. There was also a large pickle spear towards the center. While quite a bit different than a traditional Chicago hot dog. The Garabaldi's footlong was both a good deal and an excellent hot dog. I also cut off a piece of the dog for my friend to try and tried a cut off piece of their pizza. I liked the pizza as well, not too greasy, good sauce and cheese. Overall I liked this visit to Garabaldi's and it easily exceeded my expectations for food quality and general atmosphere. I am going to give it four stars and a recommendation. Til the day I die I will always remember the mustached mascot of this chain.
(4)Matt L.
Amazing pizza like always. Been coming since a kid when it was at town and country. Go to the movies and just 4 fun arcade and then pizza from you guys. Always a great experiance from food to staff. Mike the mgr is awesome!!
(5)D A.
The woman who answers the phone for delivery orders and claims to be a manager is extremely condescending and rude. She will call you a liar if they get your order wrong on a delivery order. The food is just MEH. Order Nino's instead
(1)Mallory S.
Great place for fast-casual Italian!!! I've been going to Garibaldis since I was a toddler and the workers always treat you like family :) The pies are thin crust and you can order by the slice which is very convenient. I also love the pastas with probably the best garlic bread in the world. Can't go wrong here and it's a great mix up to eating chipotle or noodles and co if you're looking for a fast casual bite.
(5)Wijciech C.
Very good food and nice and professional staff. Enjoyed spending time there, keep up the good work.
(5)Peter G.
I've been coming to Garibaldis since when it was still in the old town 'n country mall. They have the best hot subs, especially the steak and cheese! Pizza slices are always on point as well. The employees are all very friendly and the store itself is kept perfectly clean. I also have to admit that they take good care of local students and school staff with their discount. I will continue to support Garibaldis by frequenting their place for lunch.
(5)Tim S.
We were talking about pizza at work one day and this particular place came up as someone's favorite pizza of all time. At that point, I knew I had to get around to getting a slice from this place. Sadly, I feel is though the pizza it was overhyped. Don't give me wrong it's better than Pizza Hut or dominoes, I mean who wants to eat that garbage but it isn't much more magnificent. Being that I've only had the pizza I cannot speak to the other menu items which there are many. The pizza would most likely be considered New York style pizza. In other words it's a big'ol floppy slice that you have to bend in half in order to maintain control over. The staff here is very friendly and sometimes you can find deals for the place in your local newspaper.
(3)Dana L.
Great food and excellent customer service. They were super busy the other night when my husband went to pick up our pizza and wings. Our wings were sent out with another order, so he had to wait for them to be remade. For the inconvenience, they sent him with gift certificates for a future visit. Tonight I went to pick up our order, and my husband had ordered me the chicken parm sandwich instead of the entree. I apologized for our mistake and asked if they could make the switch for me. Not only did the manager do it with no issues, he didn't even charge me the difference. It's not like we needed any reason more than the food to keep coming back, but knowing our business is valued makes us love this place even more! PS: the wings are awesome!
(5)Chris C.
Garibaldi's is very clean and has a very we'll lit dinning area I had the foot long hot dog special with free drink for 4.98 and mozzarella sticks My wife had the chop salad and garlic bread the staff is very friendly and Accommodating The atmosphere is very loud very family oriented The manager/owner Gary Took care small discrepancies with our order immediately I give the food 3 1/2 stars I get to service five stars And overall total for Stars I will be returning to try other dishes
(4)Kathy J.
We LOVE their pizza. Great atmosphere! Very speedy service and clean environment.
(4)Julie W.
I grew up by the golf road and Arlington heights location and it was a family favorite. Came here to check it out. The pizza and sandwiches are just like I remember from their old location. It appears their menu had some additional options. But if you are looking for a good local spot...this is it
(5)Debbie I.
Great food for what it is (fast food). Super nice staff! Great service. This is a great place to go if you want to grab a quick bite. No complaints!
(3)Sherwin C.
Standard combination fast food with some Italian dishes restaurant that you find around Chicagoland. Some pluses are fairly long hours, slightly more drink choices, and having a wider variety on their menu to satisfy everyone in the family.
(3)Rachel G.
Love the slices! I always get the pepperoni slice and a drink (free w/check-in). The slices remind me of a New York slice. That's all I've had here and will be back for more.
(4)Stacey W.
Let me just start off by saying that this is a biased review. I've been eating Garibaldi's (at the Villa Park location) since I was a small child, so I was BEYOND ecstatic to find out that there was a Garibaldi's near where I bought my car from. It was completely worth the 45 minute drive from Aurora. I am, however, completely bummed that the Villa Park and Carpentersville locations mysteriously closed. Anyway, the pizza was hot and fresh and came out quickly. The garlic bread was ah-mazing! And I love the fact that there's a soda fountain, so instead of going up to the counter to get my refills I can just do it myself! I loved the vintage decor (and the fish tank, which I think was a nod to the Bloomingdale location). I saw the Elvis statue and knew that it would be the same delicious Garibaldi's that I've always known and loved.
(5)Nic O.
I love the food. Love the Italian beef and lemonade and the slices of pizza. They deliver and you can order on their website if you like that sort of thing. There was an issue when I ordered a few months ago and the food came like two hours late. The manager apologized and gave us the whole meal for free plus extras, which is REALLY nice and a lot of places wouldn't do that. I've been going there since I was a child when there was one on Golf Rd. and I'm really happy this one opened. Food quality is excellent.
(5)Gregory B.
Don't let these guys know that their turkey burger is better than Red Robin's for half the price. No cheap, flavorless feta or olives on the Greek Salad. Top of the line. Wonderful pizza. Great Italian Lemonade. Go. And leave half of your wallet at home.
(5)Steve W.
Decent pizza. Had a pepperoni mushrooms and onion pie, not bad. The interior isn't your typical pizza parlor. No charm or personality despite the 50's stars and cars on the walls. Counter service only, no table service. Reminded me of a McDonalds that sold pizza. Still worth a trip and they have $4 pints of beer too.
(3)Dan S.
I always get pizza from here when I stop in, but I stopped in the other day & wanted to try something else from their menu. I opted for a cheeseburger since I don't think I've ever ordered one from here before. They have seasoned fries on the menu, which means I'd be a fool to order anything else to go with my burger. The fries were the highlight of my meal unfortunately, my burger was a little undercooked & didn't taste as good as I had hoped. Maybe my expectations were too high since everything from service to food (mainly pizza) has always been on point
(4)Katie L.
I love this place, I have never had pizza with a tastle so unique and delicious. Their slices are giant and atmosphere and smell of the place is incredible. I wish they had ice cream like they used to is my only small complaint. Their ice cream was as unique and good as the pizza.
(5)Zach E.
Just went to Garibaldi's and got a Philly Cheese steak and was predictably underwhelmed. It wasnt so much that what I got was horrible or even below avg...it just wasnt a Philly cheese steak... Anyway here is a quick checklist of everything else: Cleanliness: A Staff: B+ seating options: A Ambiance: A(didnt know it was a 50s theme) Food overall: B- Its an ok place to eat....I think the prices are....ehhh...acceptable but not low at all. I paid 10 dollars for a small/medium Philly style sandwich, a medium amount of seasoned fries and a drink with free refills....I dont call that cheap any way you cut it. OTOH, the sandwich had a lot of meat/onions/, adequate amount of cheese...and the fries were quite good. The fact that there is a good staff there and a wide menu with lots of options for kids and adults alike is what tipped the scales to a 3 star rating. I didnt have the pizza though...maybe its phenomenal, who knows?
(3)Erin M.
I'm just reviewing the pizza as far as delivery goes. It was quite frankly not HOT and somewhat BURNT. If they cannot even deliver a quality pizza, I have no intention of going in there in person. Also too PRICEY for the low quality.
(2)B D.
Stopped in for a slice the other night, I've always thought one should give a place at least two tries, I want to enjoy it but it doesn't work. The prices are average to higher, flavor is mediocre and the service is questionable. There is an old guy behind the counter that should take a class in customer service, from facial expressions, to dealing with other employees and us customers he definitely has dropped the ball. There is an old expression "If we don't take care of our customers, someone else will" There are many other pizza houses in the area try them instead.
(2)Leah B.
Not a bad place to stop for a slice. I hate when you go for a slice and you get what tastes like its been sitting around for a few hours and tastes more like reheated leftovers. We stopped in on a Friday night at 10:00 for a snack and ordered 2 slices, Sausage and Cheese and the slices were fresh and yummy. It did not taste at all like reheated leftovers. The place was pretty crowded considering how late it was and people seemed to be ordering all kinds of yummy looking things off the menu, not just the pizza. Its clean and the service was good.
(4)Tony M.
stopped by on a friday night at about 10 and were still about 6 or 7 tables occupied. I have been to their old location and really liked there sandwiches, pizza, and pizza bread. 3.75 for a big slice of sausage pizza, tasty and enough to get filled. will be back soon, give it a try.
(4)Brian K.
What a great pie!! Thin crust with such a chewy delicious crust that makes me fly off to the moon. The best deal is buy 2 slices of pizza and get a free pop. Awesome!!!!!!!
(5)Bob H.
Visited on Saturday over Memorial Day Weekend (the location on Arlington Heights Rd.) and had a HORRIBLE experience. 9 people were on staff, but only 1 person was working. Everyone was complaining about the service being slow. We had to wait 10 minutes to get our food. The Philly steak sandwich was very plain tasting, the burger was below average, and the kid's Mac and Cheese was left over. We had never been there before and will never go back!! No drinks or side items came with the meals, and no questions were asked about whether we wanted anything. Horribly slow service and below average food.
(1)Ryan R.
Not only does Garibaldi's make one of the best thin crust pizzas, they also have incredible sandwichs and pastas and salads etc. Seriously, if your looking for a great pizza, look no further. These guys are awesome. I have had Garibaldi's since I was a kid growing up in Addison, il. They are still awesome today! They also have a great dining room which is always clean. Has a 50's theme to it!
