#25 Dan's Pizza




On a cold rainy night, we ordered a pizza, watched a movie and a had a bottle of wine. Nice!
The movie was Role Models, was good, but very predictable but had some funny scenes.
We had a Dan's Pizza double decker special (sausage,mushrooms,green pepper and onions). Have to admit that it was unique. Basically a thin crust pizza on top of a thin crust pizza. The first layer was nice crust with a mild tomato sauce and sausage. Then the second crust is placed on top and once again covered with sauce and sausage but now the cheese and veggies are added. The pizza was not overpowered by the cheese and the veggies were nice and fresh. Overall a good pizza but I was not wowed! Cathy enjoyed much more than I did.

#24 Roundheads Pizza




Went to Roundhead's pizza in Downers Grove with some friends. Wanted to try something different so we had the veggie ranch pizza. The pizza was made up of crust, ranch dressing, cheese, broccoli and cauliflower. Yes, that's right, broccoli and cauliflower! Plus we requested that they use fat free ranch on the pizza to make it even healthier. We have to assume they did use the fat free ranch, we may never know. The crust is thin and crispy but a very basis crust. Nothing special. The rest of the ingredients made a nice combination. It was definitively different. Overall, a good pizza but I could see getting tired of it after ordering it a few times.

#23 At’s A Nice Pizza Romeoville, IL

Friday night (3/06/2009) Cathy and I went to a nice small restaurant in Romeoville.
The place had the look of being a family business, with a lot of pictures at the entrance of the owner with a good variety of sports stars. Appears to be a Bear, Bulls and a WHITE SOX fan (worth a 1/2 pizza cutter)! So it starts off with a great impression. The restaurant has a HUGE plasma screen right in the middle of the room, however, they had a story of Siegfried and Roy on rather than the Bull's game (lost a 1/2 pizza cutter).
The pizza was a "Medium Thickness with a Hand Braided Edge" with Cheese, Sausage, Mushrooms, Onions, Pepperoni and Green Peppers. The crust was very typical pizza crust, crispy with a Hand Braided Edge. It looked pretty and was good but nothing memorable. I want my crust to be memorable, dammit! However, to be fair, Cathy thought the crust was very good! For the rest, the sauce was a very good marinara sauce with a nice hint of fresh herbs. The meats and veggies were very good, with the veggies being huge and freshly cut.
Overall, a very good pizza but I felt the crust did not If I live nearby I would go there again but maybe try one of the other crusts.
