Papa Vito's Pizza

Reviews & Tips

  The garden salad is HUGE and amazingly good!!  Also, don't miss the homemade desserts because they're definitely worth it.  We had a piece of chocolate cheesecake and also peach custard pie on one visit and we were very impressed!  The desserts change weekly which makes it fun to see what's offered the next time you're in.  Please note, they now accept credit cards - yay!  The interior is tiny so remember to arrive early-ish if you need a table.

  We love Barb and Jerry!
  But we hate the wait 60 minutes to an hour and a half to get The best pizza, salads and sandwiches.
  I have even called within 5 minutes of Papa Vito's opening and it still took an hour and 20 minutes to get the pizza,
  Sometimes the best just isn't worth the wait when second best can get it to you in 30 to 40 minutes.

  We have Eaten at Papa Vito's in Ofallon, IL many times and loved it so when we saw this on in Waterloo so close we dicided to go.  Small, not clean, we waited atleast an hour for our pizza and wings with maybe 8 other people in the place.  The food was okay until we got home.  Sorry to say it made us both pretty sick!  Sorry Papa Vitos in Waterloo, we will not come see you again.

  The place is tiny, smaller than small, seats about 18 if you count the seats, in the historic part of town. Everyone in the area that is dressed up headed to another restaurant here, everyone else seems to come here. They are disorganized and only have the one oven. So expect to cool your heels for 45minutes before you get to eat. Yes, they do take major credit cards if no  one is on the phone.
  But, it is Good pizza (no, not worth waiting too long for it): st.louis style thin crust with lots of toppings, and interesting special combos.
  The meat lovers is piled high, the Vito's Special is an everything on it that works well. The crust stays crispy all the way through eating it, no soggy middle pieces. No Provel, but they do over-sprinkle with off-brand parmesan 'dust'.
  I would not drive 50miles just to eat here, but I would pick this pizza over any other in this town or any town adjacent when here.

  Papa Vito's is a tiny hole-in-the-wall place in Waterloo, IL and it just so happens to sell some of the best food I've ever had. Granted, I've never met a pizza or sub sandwich I didn't like. Papa Vito's serves traditional St. Louis style pizza, cracker thin with the toppings piled high. You won't find any provel cheese here, though. (And thank goodness!)  
  
  The garlic bread and wings are to-die-for, and I would highly recommend enjoying some while you wait on your pizza or sandwich. If you do eat inside, it can be kind of crowded as I'm pretty sure this place only seats 10-12 people at any one time. But remember, if you dine-in or choose carry-out, this place is cash only, so don't forget.
