Authentic New York style pizza and experience. Local pizzeria with checkered tablecloth on the table and juicy oily cheese. Cheap.

if you like eating out of the garbage, you should eat here. if you value your life, your health or your mental well-being, you should definitely not come here. to call this place a restaurant is being too generous. kitty litter probably taste better. please comment or reply if you have any kitty litter experience.

Neat little quick service spot right outside the Evanston-Davis stop. I thought that the crust was overall too rough and crumbly around the edges, though I will mention that the pepperoni slice was very flavorful.

I’m craving a beef sandwich and fries. Recently moved to Evanston and googled: beef sandwich. I found this place a mere .6 miles North. I walked there for takeout. Placed my order. A very laid back atmosphere there while I waited for my food. The staff were all very pleasant. Generous portions of finely seasoned beef and crispy French fries were more than satisfactory.

Fantastic and affordable food. The everything dog has peppers, onions, and more. It took forever, like 20 minutes, to get a simple hot dog, even though it didn’t seem like they had too many customers. The decor inside is pretty cool.

Food is overpriced for how unappealing it looks. Last time, I ordered a hot dog while waiting for the bus. Took over 10 minutes and it wasn’t ready. One person was doing prep work by chopping vegetables. I left without asking for my money and without my food. Somehow I don’t feel that I missed out on anything but a mediocre hot dog. Save your time and money on this subpar food.

Great spot for a slice of pizza or Mexican food. Vicente is the best chef when it comes to fresh and fast food, usually there in the afternoons. Highly recommended!

This is the hidden charm of Evanston. The food is great, they listen to your diet and exclusions. Chef cooks just right. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere is the best everyone is represented.
