| - Mediocre pizza made from frozen crusts. reviews that call this pizza "good" have either had too much from the bar, or haven't had pizza other than frozen or pizza hut. This is basically a big, no, giant, no, HUGE bar with bar-pizza and a video game pit in the basement for kids to run wild. On any given night, the place is crowded with cougars on the prowl and biker wannabees. To add some flair to the place, right next to where the kids run wild in the basement (think chucky-cheese unsupervised with drunk parents upstairs) is an OTB gambling center. So, pick your vice - drink or gamble, while your kids run wild in the gaming area. heck, you can do both!
Interesting update: the owner defended the gambling as a "high class addition" saying he lived in the neighborhood. Of course, he's since moved away.
I try to avoid at all cost. We only go when my kids are invited to a b-day party and we can't refuse.
the kids have fun if they've got about $20 in coins. less than that and they are among the many (MANY) kids walking around asking any adult they can find for money.
(this is a repost of my review, which was filtered. funny, I live right nearby, and wrote a real review, although negative. non-filtered reviews are from out-of-towners. Um, what's up yelp? your founders are from UofI afterall!)
