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.

The only reason I didn't give Roundheads five stars, is that my ribs came served to me cold. I brought this up to our server, and she remedied the issue within a few minutes. We came on a Tuesday because it is Rib Night. They do the same thing on Thursday's at Another Round, also owned by Roundheads family. The server was pleasant, prompt, and checked on us several times during our visit. We enjoy Roundheads and Another Round's ribs, as they are plentiful, and reasonable for their two buckets. I found the cole slaw extremely tangy, and couldn't eat a second bite. The cole slaw, along with baked beans served with the ribs, were in tiny little cups. I think they could be a little more generous for these sides. The fries were decent, and tasted great dipped in the signature BBQ sauce. We got there around 5:30 on Tuesday evening, and were able to be seated immediately, and probably had our food in less than 10 minutes. We will return here on Tuesdays, or on Thursdays at Another Round because the ribs are so tasty!

I enjoyed this place in general. The crowd was pretty old though.. which I thought was weird. I know this place is known for their pizza, but we all ordered our own individual entrees. I had an appetizer for dinner, the Buffalo Chicken Strips. They weren't out of this world, but pretty good for the price. The other three guys I was with all got different sandwiches. I didn't try any... The fries were sort of burnt, but I like it that way. :) Yoooommmyyy. This place is really small. There was an area for darts, the bar itself, and booths along the walls. There were TVs scattered throughout the place which was nice. They had this infomercial thing on and it was sooo weirdddd. The rest of the TVs had the basketball game on. Our waitress was super nice. The food came out quickly, she came often, but not too often. I had a great experience here.

I've been going here since I was a kid and it is still just as good. Their menu is big which I like since I'm not always in the mood for pizza. When I am though, I typically order from Roundheads. Their pizza is definitely one of the best in the area. I have tried some of their appetizers including the roundchetta which is a nice spin on your average bruschetta dish. They also have a good selection of pastas and wraps that haven't been a disappointment. This place gets busy on the weekend and service can be somewhat spotty which would be my only compliant.

Roundheads has a jerk for an owner! He told us that our gift card was expired, yet no date was on it, and he wouldn't honor it...$25!!! Wish I had never bought it! This is the second bad experience with them. We have been customers for many years, back when they started their business! No more! We decided to go to Papa Passero's in Westmont. BEST pizza, friendly staff, and they have been around way longer than Roundheads. I will drive the few extra miles for GREAT service. Roundheads has lost the businees of my family and myself.

There's little I could ever complain about when I go to Roundhead's Pub and Grill in Downers Grove, Illinois. This is the coziest, most welcoming atmosphere that could only be that of a family owned and operated pub! Roundhead's doesn't have anything to flaunt. The decor is that of a sports bar but one that doesn't seek to overwhelm you with flashiness. The booths are deep and comfortable and there are high tops as well as regular tables. There's plenty of TV's and the busiest times are Friday nights as well as the entire Chicago Blackhawks Season! On Blackhawks games, the whole restaurant becomes a cheering section and they even sound a little horn and light when the team scores! And guys.. THE FOOD IS AMAZING. Their french fries.. there is just something about how amazing they are! Crispy and salty and oh so delicious. And I don't know how many times I've eaten their Buffalo Chicken Roundito! This is by far my favorite weekend meal (cheat meal). Crispy chicken striped smothered in spicy buffalo sauce are wrapped up in a toasted flour tortilla with tomatoes and lettuce and ranch dressing to create the absolute masterpiece that is the Buffalo Roundito. The waitstaff is always kind and welcoming. I've only ever had one problem with a certain waitress ringing up my card multiple times as she was confused (this was actually a big inconvenience at the time... oh well!). The manager took great care to make sure the issue was resolved for me and this will not influence our decision to go back! WE LOVE ROUNDHEAD'S! Definitely a 10/10 and we will be back! Oh and one other thing, Roundhead's guys, your promo code on your menu doesn't work so take a look at it!

What a GREAT find This place was! I am glad that it is going to be on my radar for future visits. From start to finish our large group really enjoyed everything thoroughly. Service was great and everyone enjoyed their meal. Seriously I really couldn't take issue with a darn thing at my inaugural visit.. he interior looked a little old and worn and that is as close as I can come to finding a negative. I liked to look at it as the place has a personality

We are semi-regulars here, dining in usually 4-5 times per year. Pluses: Acceptable service, homey atmosphere, warm greetings at the door, and the best thin crust pizza in the area. Minuses: Too much variance in how cold the beer is. I've sent several beers back over the years because they were barely cool. Dunno if it's a rotation/stocking issue or a refrigeration issue, but this keeps their rating down to 3 stars.

Visiting Roundhead's for the first time is an unusual experience. The standalone building sits at the perimeter of the parking lot serving an aging strip mall. The outside of Roundhead's brings to mind a nice casual dining chain restaurant like Applebee's or Chili's. The inside is anything but this. The inside features a prominent bar, at which a cast of regulars can be found. This definitely has the vibe of "bar and grill" vs. "grill and bar." When we arrived at about 6pm for dinner, there were lots of folks enjoying the beer, but nobody appeared to be eating. The dine-in crowd may have come later in the evening. The sign as you enter says please wait to be seated, but one of the locals advised us to sit anywhere. The bartenders and waitstaff were all friendly, welcoming, female and 20-something, -- a winning combination. There's a fenced in patio if you'd like to eat (or more likely drink) in the fresh air. This was packed by the time we left at about 7pm on a weekday. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. The food was very good. The Philly Cheese sandwich with steak was stuffed full of meat, onions and green peppers. The mozzarella on top ruined any shot at authenticity, but the result was really tasty regardless. It was served with hand-cut fries, which were great. The Fish and Chips was also really well-prepared. We cleaned our plates, if that's any indication of the food's quality. If you're looking for a divey local place to grab a drink or two in Downers, this may be just what you're looking for. And if you get hungry, the food here will not disappoint. If you're looking for a place to bring your little league team for pizza after a big game, I'm not sure this is where you want to stop.

Easily one of the top 3 worst pizzas I've ever had. Don't be fooled - this isn't a restaurant and bar it's a bar that also serves crappy food. I live less than 10 minutes away and decided to order a pizza to go to try something different. Lots of good reviews here about the pizza so I figured it would go smoothly. However when I brought it home and opened the box I could not believe how gross this pizza looked. There was a POOL of grease on top of the pizza. I used ten full paper towels to try and blot some of it off and didn't make a dent. I have never seen so much grease on a pizza in my life. When I tried to bite into it the cheese and toppings slipped right off, the crust was rock hard and thoroughly charred on the bottom. I tried to eat 2 pieces and ended up having to throw the rest away. I have no idea why anyone would say this pizza was good. Extremely disappointed and disgusting. Never again.

My boyfriend is a regular here and introduced me to this place. They have really good pizza. I gave this location 5 stars. The severs here are great and love their job. Most of them have been here for several years. The owner Joe is an awesome guy. We ate here last night for dinner. I enjoy their salads. They are always the freshest. I usually get a pizza and a side salad. The side salads are large! The pizza I get is the thin crust. Delish. People love the dough balls. I think they are just okay, kind of bland. This is a great place to go watch the game. However, if you don't like it loud then don't go on a game night. They have a nice patio outside where you can eat. You can hear the game but will still be able to talk with your dinner mate. You can't go wrong trying out Roundheads! They have 3 locations, all family owned. P.S. RIBS COMING BACK IN JUNE! THEY ARE REALLY GOOD!!!! :)

Some people will understand when I say the interior of this place, perhaps even the smell, reminds me of the original Chesdan's on Archer. It is old, dark, and somewhat must inside here, but I like it that way! Pizza here is very good, with the sauce being a little more acidic than sweet. Toppings were well proportioned as was the cheese. Along with the pizza, we also had an appitizer platter mainly made up of fried food. It was standard, nothing really to rave about. The only complaint I had was the soda. I think the lines may needed to be cleaned. Our waitress was great, and my favorite part was the little face doodled on the to-go container. (Yes, I am easily amused!)

Seeing that I have been going to Roundheads since they opened in the Green Knolls Shopping Center, I am a little biased. I have always enjoyed their food, whether it be their amazing pizza, Italian Beef Sandwich (comes with fries, baked beans and cole slaw), meatball sandwich, or virtually any of the other items on the menu. This is a classic mom and pop family restaurant and the Nagy family goes to great lengths to keep it that way. Although, I have to be honest: I thought they did better business at their old location next to Ace when it was open: ever since they opened Another Round in downtown Downers Grove, I've noticed that their parking lot isn't as full as it once was. When this location first opened, you might as well ate your pizza standing up because it was jam packed. Now, a lot of people have gone to the other location which is more of a DG twenty and thirtysomething bar now... The thin crust pizza is slightly moist yet crispy, and is usually ready within 30 minutes. I was unhappy that they stopped carrying Labatt's here, however they said they have it at the downtown location. For some reason, I find ice cold Labatt Blue and hot Roundhead's pizza to be an awesome comfort meal... The noise level is not excessive, despite the TVs playing sports games and an internet jukebox on a continual loop of Katie Perry, Carly Rae Jepsen and whatever kids listen to these days. Roundhead's attracts a lot of regulars who eat and drink here frequently (former Mayor Brian Krajewski used to come here quite a bit, but mainly to the old location as well as Martin Tully) The wait staff is patient and friendly and for a decent sized pizza for two, one large beer and 2 large Pepsi's ran 24$. My only complaint is they need to bring back Labatt's but they said no one was ordering it. Maybe I should bring my own? Overall, an enjoyable family experience. The owners really do their best to make this family friendly and free of loud obscene drunks. Top notch.

We went during the lunch buffet. Like a usual buffet, there were lots of choices of mediocre food. Surprising choices, actually. You don't expect to see a taco station at a pizza buffet, but there it was. Overall, good price for what you're getting.
(3)Peter T.
Great place to come and hangout.
(4)John V.
Anything that Roundhead's offers you can get better somewhere else. The pizza is okay, the beef is okay, everything else is okay. Let's just say the food at Roundhead's is perfectly mediocre. I can get mediocre food for much less at McDonald's. On to the service. The staff at Roundhead's certainly aren't the brightest bunch. They perform their jobs with no enthusiasm and show no interest in their guests. I should've just dropped my order off at the kitchen myself. Okay, the final test is at hand. Can they make drinks? I ordered a Tanqueray and Tonic. Anyone who's ever had a Gin and Tonic of any kind knows that it's not complete without a lime. Any bartender worth a damn should definitely know that that drink needs a lime. No lime. It's amateur hour at Roundhead's! Luckily, they do know how to pour a beer. So, if you like beer and you're not near any other bar/restaurant that serves beer, stop in at Roundheads for a beer, nothing else.

So I went here with a coworker who said this place was voted the best thin crust pizza in DuPage County (I think they may have even had a sign out front proclaiming it too). All I have to say is "Really?" or "How inebriated were these voters?" We went during lunch and had the buffet. The pizza was good but not the best. It was the run of the mill standard thin crust that you can find anywhere. I was expecting to be blown away and instead it was meh. The lunch buffet was small but did have some yummy taco meat. The spread was diverse and not just standard pizza/pasta fare. The restaurant/bar has that blue collar feel that you might find somewhere in Bridgeport (something I like because I grew up around there). I will probably go back and just try the pizza when it hasn't been sitting on the buffet line.
(4)Sarah T.
This place is kinda horrible. The general quality of the food is 'ack.' It was Monday night football, so I was expecting really fresh fries from the sheer volume of packed patrons. They were limp, totally not fresh. The patty melt and burger was not decent in flavor or quality. The Italian beef was practically boiled. The coleslaw and baked beans were really plain, almost like school cafeteria. I am surprised they get away with serving that.
(2)Brian M.
This place is great! We go with our friends at least twice a month. They have a 'stadium' size pizza that in the shape of a football. The pizza is really good. So is the antipasto. Best part is they have no problem letting you 'split it into Quarters' so you can get whatever you want. Also, as mentioned in another review they are on 63rd street now. Another helpful hint is to go on their website and join their mailing list. You score a free appitizer out of the deal.

Not to be confused with the Lombard location. This is an FYI for anyone using their smart phone to locate the phone number and place orders in advance. Make sure to ask whether your calling the correct place. The confusion & error happens quite often. Sports pub with a family feel. Most diners are couples or families of four plus. Their best pizza types are the thin and pan. I'm not a fan of their stuffed pies, which house so much cheese you could gag on it. With that said, after having a few of their stuffed pies, it could not compete with some of Chicago's better stuffed pies. I think their thin crust is their best offering with pan coming a close second. I mentioned in my Lombard location review a great pie to try is that with Italian beef and giardinera on a pan pizza. The smells are divine and the taste is everything you would expect from it. Since Roundhead's has that family feel to it, wait staff are welcoming and management is thankful for the business. Between the two locations I would say I like this one a bit more, probably due to the dining experience. The Lombard location draws more of a bar crowd and has that kind of feel.
(4)Quincy Z.
A Great Place to Come To Casual establishment that provides great service, well poured drinks, good food and makes you want to keep coming back. During the week, if you're on a schedule there is a lunch buffet which is always fresh and well prepared. Or, order from the menu. I've never been disappointed. Friendly, convenient and always fun to go to.
(4)Janine K.
Paid a second visit to this place last week. The owner's sister was kind enough to respond to my last post about the butter mishap and sent me a gift card. Thank you! I took my sister and her friend here... We got an appetizer, wings, & pizza... All were very good, service was good too. I plan on returning again because I want to try the veggie Ranch pizza! :)
(4)Heidi B.
Roundheads seems pretty average. I went in for a late lunch so it was not very busy. They have a ton of TVs so it is a great place to watch a game. Today I had a Bloody Mary ($4 on Sundays) and shared an appetizer and entree. They have a pretty big selection of appetizers. Nachos, veggies, jalapeño poppers, wings, etc. I shared the Buffalo Chicken Roundito with my husband. The rounditos are HUGE and can be easy shared. They are filled with plenty of ingredients and you will not leave hungry. Overall- good food and decent service. I am not sure if I would rush to go back but I would stop if I am in the area.
(3)Ren F.
Just had dinner here with my family the food was good the service was great. Our server Jeannie (I hope I spelled it right) was great we had a slight issue with our food and she was on top of it right away. She was polite and her service was great. Will definitely make sure to come back here and send people I know. Thanks again Jeannie.
(5)Jay M.
I have been going here for years. Beer prices are a little high. The pizza however, is amazing. the ingridents, especially the cheese is fantastic. the best cheese pizza i have ever had. also reccomend the sausage. other menu items are good, but not as amazing as the pizza.
(4)Lori O.
The pizza crust was fresh & had just the right amount of sauce & ingredients. The wings were great too. I love fried pickles & can't wait to try their's at our next visit.

Went to check out the lunch buffet here and swung in around 1:00 (buffet ends at 2:00). First off, they have a pretty respectable thin crust pizza. It's in their namesake (Pizzeria Grill) so I was glad to see that they continued filled their pizza station with new choices even as the time winded down to 2:00. Worthc checking out! Also, their fried chicken at lunch is greasy but crisp, and really quite tasty. The older couple next to us continued to wait vocally for the fried chicken to come out, and eventually got their wish when they refilled the pan around 1:30. I snagged three pieces for my wife and I, and it was tasty and hot. Buffalo strips were good, chicken was tender. Rigatoni alfredo had an excellent cream sauce as well without being cloyingly thick. Overall, pretty good food, especially for the price of the lunch buffet. Why three stars? Well, some of the items we came excited to try (Italian wedding soup, Mini BBQ pork sandwiches) never made an appearance while we there for the one hour. While the signs were out at the buffet table, the area was left empty. Perhaps because it's 1:00 and the owners/chefs don't want to put out more food at risk of it being wasted, but my wife and I were a bit disappointed that the full selection wasn't out. Personally, I think it would've helped if the manager or waitress asked around if people were looking for any dishes specifically on the buffet menu so that folks wouldn't leave disappointed... In fact, if the older couple next to us wasn't so vocal about it, I wonder if we would've had a chance to taste it! Verdict: The lunch buffet on the weekdays is a great deal, with lots of tasty options to take advantage of... assuming you go before 1:00? We may go back to check it out again someday.

Great service and food. My first time ever, even though they're known for their pizza, I ordered the Lasagna w/meat sauce. Liked the minestrone soup and it was warm enough to eat and not burn the tongue. Same goes w/the food when it was served. Didn't have to wait for it to cool down too long to take a bite. If you are a Cheese Lover, then you would enjoy taking bites into this lasagna. It was also a great portion where i had to take half of it home, which was delicious even heated up at home. Loved the friendly and homey atmosphere. Definitely a bar with lots of regulars because that's how great it is. Can't wait to introduce this place to more of my friends.

I've been going to the various Roundheads locations since I met my husband years ago. His family is from the area, and we have eaten at all the 3 locations several times. I love their thin crust pizza, and it's one of our gotos for carry out. We've always had decent service when we dine in, and most any other time I would have given them a solid 4 stars, but this past visit there a few things turned me off and knocked them down a peg in my book. We got there earlyish on a Friday night, around 6. We were seated immediately, but they were starting to get busy because a Hawks game was coming on. They have a bit more of a sports bar vibe than I like when games are on, but whatever, we don't follow hockey so we didn't know there was a game on that night. It was annoying though because the guy asked us if we wanted to watch the game, and we said no, so instead of seating us where we could see a TV he sat us underneath one and the speakers were blaring right above our table. Loud. Our waitress was busy, but still attentive. We ordered boneless wings as an appetizer. They have a variety of sauces to choose from similar to Buffalo Wild Wings, there's like 10 of them. We wanted to do 3 and 3 of different sauces. She told us you can't break up the sauces on orders of 6, only the bigger orders. Not her fault, but I don't get it. Why does it matter? My husband said maybe they make the sauces from scratch and don't want to make them for smaller batches. It still seemed kind of dumb and arbitrary to me. The wings were really good though, we went with the chili lime and it was perfectly sweet and spicy. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza for dinner and I asked for it to be made well done. I like the cheese brown on top. When she brought it out it was sort of brown on top, she asked if it was ok, and said she could take it back if not. It could have been darker, but we already waited for a while because they were packed by then. It was delicious anyway. Their pizza is always awesome. The thing that really bothered me was when we paid we had an expired Groupon, we knew we wouldn't get the discounted price, but typically the policy is that the business should give you the price you paid for it. We buy Groupons all the time. We usually use them in time, but on the few other times we have had an expired one we have never had them rejected. Occasionally we have still been given the discount. I work in the spa industry so I have dealt with Groupons at work many times over the years and we have always honored the expired ones for the price that was paid for it. Well, our waitress told us no that they would not take it, and we just needed to deal with Groupon for it. She was pretty flip about it too. I was tempted to speak to a manager just because I found it to be poor customer service, and she was kind of rude about it, but my husband didn't want to get into it. It's not about the money. It was only $10 off our bill, and we know we'll get it back from Groupon anyway. It was just the attitude about it was stinky. Overall this experience here was just OK. We'll go back though. We do like the food, and it's practically in our backyard. Honorable mention for the Dough Balls, they're like crack. And the Bagel Burger is really good too.

Food was good and cheap during lunch time. Wish the lunch buffet have more choices on pizza
(4)Mark K.
Well second time here and was hoping for a better time then the first. Came In hoping for some pizza but it appears the pizza oven has been broken for the last 4 days. And the only guy that can fix it is on vacation. Must be a special oven. Had the chili and found it a bit watery but had some flavor. Had the chicken wings and they where ok but could use a bit more flavor. So we have strike 2 and will give this place one more try once they have a pizza oven. Stay tuned.
(3)Jennifer K.
The place was pretty small , looked much bigger from the outside so i cant imagine what its like on a weekend but im a wings and pizza type of gal and thats exactly what i got and both were very good. I had traditional medium wings, they were VERY good . Not dry or too hot or too mild, just enough sauce and came out nice and hot (temperature lol ) We had the pick three.. The dough balls have an option of this buttery garlic deiciousnous sauce omg amazing in so many ways. The southwest egg rolls were good but doubt they were home made, seem to be frozen but good, and cheese curds were very tasty as well We had cheese and garlic pizza, it was nice bc the cheese came all the way to the crust so no gips on the cheese, there could have been a bit more garlic, most of it was on the edges of the pizza and hardly any in the middle but other than that it was good pizza! The service was good, she paid just enough attention to us and our drinks. I saw there was a lunch buffet which is pretty cool with different foods on each day. So my first visit was pretty damn good would def go again !!
(4)Dan R.
I am a little biased having grown fond of the original Roundhead's at 63rd and Main (no longer there) when it was more of a neighborhood pizza joint. It lost its charm. Now it is more of a sports bar with lots of TVs and can get crowded. The deep fried pickles are a must. The pizza is OK and rest is more bar food than restaurant quality.
(3)Sheila C.
Lunch time buffet is their best offering. They have a different "style" for each day of the week. Check their website for specifics. Good food. Lots of choices. Great price for a lunch buffet.
(4)Lorraine V.
Anyone who can say anything negative about this AMAZING Pizza place is out of their mind! The menu offers a wide variety of everything Midwest. The pizza is cooked perfectly, the pot roast waffle fry nachos are to die for...I could go on and on, the food is D-Lish! I love love love the owner and the general feel for the place is comfortable. GREAT SERVICE! Yes, it has a sports bar feel to it, but I've seen the place packed with families having a great time. Great for parties, get-together's and hanging out!

Yummy yummy! I love Another Round, so when I saw a groupon for their "parent restaurant-" Roundheads, I snatched it up! Though I had never eaten at this location before, I had been here before- I was just too many drinks in to the evening to remember. Hey- $4 hurricanes, baby! Can't go wrong there! Anyway- on to the review! My brother, myself, and a boy I babysit for (dubbed "kiddo" for the purposes of the review) came here for a Friday night dinner to get out take advantage of the nice weather and my groupon. Kiddo uses a wheelchair and I'll be damned if I don't show up and every stinking handicap parking spot is taken. So I jet inside and I must have just looked a little distressed because the owner came right up to me. I explained the situation, he walked outside the restaurant with me and found us a good spot to park so we would be able to get the ramp out. Great start! We got a table outside and our waitress promptly greeted us. She was super friendly and attentive. Got us our drinks within a few minutes and was even nice enough to re-do a drink for us so Kiddo had a drink with a lid and could drink independently. We ordered mozzarella sticks and a 16' cheese pizza. Mozzarella sticks came quickly and were delish! In fact...it came with 6 and I only got to eat 1/2 of one. I guess the boys were hungry. Only downside to the sticks are that their marinara sauce has meatballs in it. I don't know if you can order without, but as a vegetarian I was slightly sad with that discovery. A little bit later the waitress brings out our pizza and it's, of course, awesome. We ate the whole thing between the 3 of us. Somewhere in the middle of eating our pizza, the restaurant blew a fuse and lost all power. We were sweating a little bit when we realized none of us had cash to pay but the power slowly came back on within 5 minutes. Stuffed, we showed the waitress our groupon via the iPod (she actually just scanned it straight off the screen...no paper!), paid the rest of our tab and left. Definitely a fun night out.
(5)Kristen S.
My fiance and I stopped in for carryout and I am so glad we found this little gem! We ordered the Pot Roast Fries and OMG! I can literally give this establishment 4 stars for the stellar service and out of this world Pot Roast Waffle Fries. MUST HAVE. I look forward to going back. It seems to be a nice neighborhood place to enjoy a bite to eat, couple of drinks and a sports game.
(4)Kevin S.
We had the spring rolls for an appetizer and pizza for main course. We choose the thin crust pizza with spinach, tomatoes, and mushroom. The place was kind of slow when got there but was hoping by the time we left. The atmosphere is pretty good lots of HD TV's with good sight lines. The food was pretty good and will be back soon!
(4)Finch M.
Pizza awesome. Wings awesome. Cold beer awesome. Great service for the most part. Love watching sports at the bar-plenty of good tv's.
(4)Laura K.
Confession: I went here for the fried pickles. Whenever I see that a restaurant has fried pickles on the menu, I try to swing by and check them out. Sadly, the pickles were a disappointment. The breading was falling off of them, probably because they had been cooked too long (they were also browner than they should have been). The dressing they were served with was just plain strange, too. It was a chipotle ranch, which I've had before with fried pickles, but the extra dill in the breading played oddly with the overly cumin-y dressing. I think they would have been much better with just a standard ranch and less fry time. P.S. - Owners, you need to bring the price down on the pickles. I get the same quanitity - six spears and dressing - at Badda Bing's in New Lenox for $2.99 and theirs taste better. $6.95 is waaaay too much. But yes, this is a pizza place, not a pickle place. :) My boyfriend and I also enjoyed a thin-crust pizza with green olives and mushrooms. I really liked the pizza, though I thought they were a little stingy on the cheese. It has that great homemade taste to it and the crust was just right - thin and crispy. This place was packed when we were there (on a Saturday night) so they're obviously doing something right. I'd swing by again for more pizza (and my boyfriend wants to try their deep dish pizza). I'll just skip the pickles next time - maybe I'll try the fried cheese curds instead!

My wife and I love Roundhead's! A great place to go on a Friday night to grab a beer and some delicious pizza. I have done the lunch buffet with friends and it is just ok. This is a great neighborhood place and the staff is always friendly.

Been regulars since they were located on 63rd & Main many years ago. Our favorites are the fried mozzarella (the meat sauce it comes with is great!), chicken fingers and the bagel burger - who would have known cream cheese on a burger would be so good?

Great heart shaped pizza. However we ordered the loaded tots and when I dig into them there was an individual pack of butter hidden in the sour cream. The waitress was very nice and apologized but there was no sort of compensation for the mishap. It was kind of bizarre and I understand they were very busy, but still I feel that something more should have been done. I liked the pizza and would probably come back when it is less busy.

The first time I went to Roundhead's, it was NYE 2003, with an ex-boyfriend. My most recent trip to Roundhead's, it was with my now boyfriend and his softball team. The pizza hasn't changed. It's DELICIOUS and perfect thin-crust. The service hasn't changed. They don't mess up, they're friendly. They know the regulars. My only gripe is they should have better drink specials. I'm not big on beer. But Roundhead's is here to stay. Wherever you're getting your thin crust now in the Downers Grove/Darien/Lisle/Woodridge area, STOP. And don't eat anything else here. Get PIZZA. Dough balls are overrated.

Fridays during lent I don't eat meat and it was kind of a last minute descision to stop in to Roundheads for lunch. They have always had a very generous buffet spread and still do this day. Rather than fuss about what I can and can't eat on Good Friday, I decided to play it safe. I ordered a Pepper & Egg sandwich with a side of cheese fries. The French bread was toasted and the pepper & egg piled high. No complaints and I got everything I asked for. It was a simple lunch and I enjoyed it. I should really stop here more often and explore their menu outside of their buffet. Maybe their wings next time will be on my list.

This is a good place for drink specials and pizza. But be prepared for a long wait. Nothing in this place is quick.

DONT LISTEN TO ANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS! This place is great! Perfect dive spot for some wings and beer! I recommend the dry rub wings or the garlic parm! #fire

I've been to the place twice and have had mediocre or less tasting food each time. I've went with friends and my bro each time, and everyone agreed that the food was very...eh. Both times I've asked the server to recommend food to me and both times weren't really good. The last time I went, the server couldn't stop talking about the bagel burger. I decided to try it, and it was just a burger inbetween 2 slices of bagels with cream cheese on it. What kinda crap is that? All that hype for that? And it had a red box around it on the menu to signal to the unsuspecting foodie that the straight up terrible is recommended...COME ON! The beef isn't anything special. If it was it probably could have been a 3 star place. I still haven't tried the pizza which is what the place is known for so maybe that can raise the rating. One dish i did like was the nachos appetizer. It was huge and was pretty good. As for now, it is an eh place with good service and below average food.

I really enjoy going to Roundheads when I'm in town visiting family and friends. My two must-haves to REALLY enjoy a restaurant are good service and outdoor seating. Lucky for me, Roundheads has both. The staff is super friendly, quick to greet you, take orders, and refill drinks (or ask if you want another pitcher of beer, as the case may be). The outdoor seating has both a covered section and uncovered section, to allow for the ever changing Chicagoland weather.

Pizza is good here, but it's the service that blew me away. The kitchen was ready and willing to accommodate special orders, the waitress bent over backwards to attend to us, etc. I was also extremely impressed that they've got a table and chairs in the ladies' room, presumably for nursing moms. Way to go, guys!

It's okay here. It does always seemed to be packed. They do not quite have their system down though. They were frantic and confused with the line, sat people before me that had just came in, and there were two completely open tables that they didn't notice and made me wait (unless I wanted to sit outside.) Pizza wasn't cheap for the quality, and they lacked attention to detail. For those that aren't concerned with taste being right on the mark or if you're local, then this spot is for you. There is a locals only bar that watches you eat and the waitstaff was so-so.

Went to Roundheads Pizza Downers Grove for my BDay dinner. Sorry, but a restaurant should tell you all their beer, bottles and draft are warm (cooler was set to 60 degrees) befor ordering it not after you complain. Will never go back to this place as it has been going down hill for the past few years! May have been warm but they kept serving it! Previous experience has been poor with slow service as they try to watch cost to much.

so me and my co-worker molowa, yeah we eat because we big girls. lol. but we use to order 10 hot wings from there with extra ranch and blue cheese. they are very good and have very good customer service. my other co-workers and i would go there after work for a get together. one time we went and it was like 6 of us, we had fun and went home. you can even watch the games while you are in there and they have good drinks :)

Roundheads was our latest "Friday Pizza Night" stop. I was very impressed! High-quality ingredients, perfect ratio of crust to tasty sauce to cheese. Will definitely be going back, and they are in the running for our top DG pizza.
