it's not just the pie, it's the people.. so, nello's is close by in a newly remodeled shopping center on southern and mcclintock.
i like the food. great salad choices (they are huge) and a wonderful house dressing.
we got there at about 8:50p on a tuesday night and they allowed us to order some take-out. perfect for us. everyone was so warm and friendly...very chicago atmosphere. i was offered a beer sample from the san tan brewery and it was so good, i ordered a pint and handed the car keys to my wife.
we also ordered one of their signature pizzas with peppers, onions, mushrooms, pepperoni and sausage.
everything was wonderful. my only comment...and this has been typical of pizzasauceaway from where i grew up...we always had a sweetersauceto start with and then you could add your own pepper flakes to kick up the heat. nello'ssaucestarts pretty hot already. just a touch to hot for my old gut during the evening. thank goodness for tums.
but, all in all, great meal. we went for dessert before as well and they have great tiramisu.
way to go nello's. we are pleased.
