Al's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Great wings and drinks. Restaurant is dated but cozy and comfortable. Lately not very busy so if you're looking for a quiet non-hectic place, you'll enjoy your meal and time here. Good for business or family meals.

For a decade, I was told this was one of the best Italian restaurants near Chicago but it was out of the way so we never went. This past year, we finally got to it and I’m glad we did!

We have gone a couple times now since rediscovering it. The pizza is delicious. Has the perfect ratio and mixtures of favors on a classic Chicago thin crust pizza and from what I have been told, they haven’t changed in the last 20+ years, so you know it’s going to be a consistent. We also got the bruschetta and oh my goodness, they were good! I think they added some spice with giardiniera and it was a perfect addition! I even inspired me to add it to my own cooking.

This has become our “something place special” and will definitely be coming back and trying more dishes, everyone says everything is great!

HALF OFF PIZZA EVERY MONDAY???? And HALF OFF WINGS ON TUESDAYS!!! love there pizza been ordering here for years never had a problem! Can always count on great taste and quality pizza/food! Try the buffalo chicken pizza trust me you won’t regret it! Also, if your looking for a beautiful romantic date night place I would recommend coming to als the inside is very nice vintage and well maintained it has that romantic vibe to it!

Wonderful food and friendly staff. A true restaurant from the good old days. The food is consistently delicious and authentic. The staff are courteous, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A place worth visiting.
