What People Are Saying About Salerno's Restaurant & Pizzeria

The Scene – Families and couples on weekend dates pack this Berwyn favorite, where dark wood wainscoting, trompe l'oeil detailing and sunset-hued stained glass make for a cozy, come-as-you-are atmosphere. Patrons squeeze into the L-shaped lounge to watch sports on two big-screen TVs, while diners scoot into the elevated dining room for garlicky grub. – – The Food – Thin-crust pizza is available on request, but the house specialty is the fantastic, filling double-dough pies: Tangy-tart sauce, gobs of gooey mozzarella and dense, chewy crust are a marriage made in…

Best Thick Crust In All Chicagoland
by patman42066 at Citysearch
I grew up in Berwyn and have always loved Salerno's pizza. They had closed for a few years then reopened at their current location on Grove and returned us our best pizza. This is a true local's favorite. I have always lived in the area and eat pizza more than a few times a month and this place has by far, THE BEST THICK CRUST. I would challenge you to find somewhere better. Crust is always crispy on the outside and just a little soft on the inside. Cheese is always plentiful and of high quality. You can't go wrong with any ingredient, they're all good, just get thick crust. Other dishes are Very good too. If you're getting an appetizer, go with the stuffed mushrooms. They are AWESOME! Owner is always around greeting tables and shaking hands with regulars. Don't pass this place up!!
- Pros: BEST PIZZA
- Cons: price is little more than average italian

Great Pizza, Horrible Employees, GROVE & ROOSEVELT
by luva79 at Citysearch
I have ordered pizza from this establishment several times, and the pizza has been really good - and the delivery is almost always at the far end of on time, BUT every time I call to order a total B**** answers and makes me feel like hanging up and never ordering again. I am on the border of finding a different pizza place. It's like they think they're doing you a favor by answering the phone. I would recommend the pizza, but dont expect to feel great after ordering.
- Pros: Pizza
- Cons: Employee Attitudes

Fantastic pizza
by greenline74 at Citysearch
Of all the pizza places I've eaten at, Salerno's rates in my top 5. There's not much more that I can say than that, as I've never eaten in or ordered anything but pizzas. My only gripe is that it can be a dog getting in and out if the lot is full and the traffic on Roosevelt is heavy.
- Pros: Fantastic pizza
- Cons: Getting on/off Roosevelt Road to get there and limited parking
