With a warm atmosphere and hospitality that welcomes you as soon as you step through the door, first-time visitors like Brian Archer have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the food and service. The tater kegs, an appetizer bursting with flavor, set a high standard for the meal to follow.

Stopped in here on the way home from chicago for lunch and I'm glad we did it was fantastic. The hospitality here is off the charts . You walk in and greeted right away . Grab a cup and get your drink they will be out to get your order in a minute . We ordered the tater kegs for an appetizer. Basically a tater tot on steroids. It has chives, bacon and cheese inside of it . It was very good . We ordered 2 pizzas. The kids wanted a cheese pizza. I didnt try it . They said it was good though . The sausage and bacon pizza I ordered was superb. I'm really glad the owner suggested putting the giardiniera on there as well . Gave it a little heat and acid from the pickled vegetables. While they were boxing up our leftover pizza the owner gave us a sample of the Italian beef. Actually made regret getting the pizza. The beef was fantastic . Super flavorful and had good bite of heat on the back side. Will definitely get the beef sandwich next time we are here and we will back .
Saw reviews online were all five star with only a couple exceptions, so I walked over from Loves truck stop across the highway. Ordered a 10 inch sausage, mushroom, and black olive with a drink. Unfortunately they are a Pepsi product place, so no diet Coke. 17.80 was a couple dollars more than I wanted to spend, but when I bit into that first piece, I kind of forgot about that. One of the best pizzas I have had in quite a while, and the diet Pepsi wasn't too bad. Very friendly people as well. Clean dining room which was tolerably cool, but A/C in counter area and kitchen is out. Yeah, I'll definitely be walking across the road again. You should too.
Driving Route 66,we spent the night in Dwight and walked to eat. The pizza was yummy, staff was friendly and helpful. We will visit again if ever in the area.
Great food, clean restaurant and friendly atmosphere. The staff is friendly and professional. Will definitely return. Offer take out and delivery too!
Not sure if the letter P in the neon sign turning on and off was intentional, but it caught my eye! I was drawn in like a moth to a flame, for a delicious Ultimate Pizza treat!
Ordered grilled chicken Philly, pepperoni and taco pizzas all 3 were fantastic 10/10 will be ordering from here again. Can order delivery straight to your semi truck. About 45 minutes from time of order to delivery. Highly recommend this place to everyone!
Pizza is dough & sauce are made from scratch daily! How many places can say that? The pizza is outstanding. They gave me a sample of the Italian beef sandwich. It's better than Chicago sandwiches. I walked over from the truck stop. They even offered me a ride back.
Waitress was very nice and the Mushroom appetizer was goof. The pizza was great.
