Verona PIzzeria and Sandwiches

Reviews & Tips

  I'm not sure why this place gets a bum rep. I've never had anything but good service, good food, and a full stomach from Verona.
  
  Their sandwiches are *really* good. That is... if you're into Italian sandwiches loaded with ingredients then grilled to perfection on a panini press... I know I am.
  
  Their pizza was pretty good, but not the best I've had... There's so much pizza in Chicago, after all. The place is very small, so don't expect to go there and eat. It's a take-out or delivery place first, a fine dining establishment second.
  
  In all, it's worth trying, but not necessarily worth craving/going out for. I just wish they delivered west of western.

  I needed something to eat after my little shopping excursion and thought it was the perfect opportunity to try some pizza here.  I got in the little restaurant, and found my hunger got the best of me and ordered a slice of the pepperoni pizza despite how bad it looked.  I would have been kind of embarrassed to walk out and order pizza across the street at My Pie.  I should have done that because the pizza did look like it was in there for a while kind of dry and oily and crusted over.  I know, why did I eat it?!  I suppose to confirm what I already knew, and it's my own fault for hoping that it was only that looks could be deceiving. Normally when you are hungry everything is supposed to taste great, but it didn't so that's how I knew it wasn't good.  The slice was close to $3.  I'm sorry to say that it could have been better spent some place else.  They do offer burgers, salads, pastas, and other items.  I just don't care to try other things if you are supposed to be a pizza place that's what I'm here for and they have to be good because that's supposed to be your specialty.  I think this place is going to find it tough to compete with other pizza places being much better.

  i think the reviews are kind of unfair.  I've never had bad food from here, given I ordered their chicken parmesan the first time and haven't ordered much else since, but it has always been good.

  Its sad to read the other comments.  My experiences at Verona have always been splendid.  If you want a great chicken parmesan dinner under 7 dollars, you have to try it.  Its enough to feed two people.

  As I browsed the menu of this new restaurant my fears about whether or not they knew what they were doing were quelled when I noticed they incorporated the names of local neighborhoods into their sandwich names.  Why that made me feel better I'm not sure, I guess I figured they must be from around here and understand the high standards Chicagoans have for food.  As I got home and opened up my hot dog I immediately entered a state of shock and anger once I noticed that my 'everything on it' hot dog had KETCHUP ON IT!  What the?  Also the fries were completely underdone which I will never understand.  Do they think I'd rather get white saggy fries than wait an extra 3 minutes?   Even if the hotdog didn't have ketchup I would have given it a low score.  Go to George's a block south.
