Legit tavern style thin crust pizza. Sausage. Well done. This place nails it. Big hunks of fennel sausage. Nice char on the cheese. Bertolli’s was a recommendation; and it lived up to the hype. We’ll be back.

The pizza was awesome. The wings were very good. We ordered for delivery and I won't rate the service here because it was Super Bowl Sunday. I definitely recommend the food.

The Chicago Bears play late today so I decided to take Bertollis River Jumbo Pizza Thin Crust (Half Jalapeno and Half Cheese) to my Best Friends House. Pizza was ready in 25 minutes pretty fast customer service! Nice Ambiance of the Bertollis River Pizza. Definitely recommend this Pizza Joint to All :)

This is our favorite tavern style in the area. I love the cheese ratio, it's less which to me is more. It doesn't make it as greasy. We always get it we'll done too. Makes for a nice and crispy crust.

Seen this place for years and finally tried it. I was in Aaw. Their pizza is fresh and tasty. The tomato and basil are fresh this is nothing sprinkled on out of a jar. You pay for what you get. The price was not expensive either. Very saucy and didn’t need to ask for extra toppings.

I love the pizza, decent priced little spot. I live in Texas now so obviously I can’t drive to my place and get a slice or a whole pizza. However, when I fly to my hometown I always make a stop to my place. Can’t wait to get back home real soon.
