The pizza tastes and smells gross, and it makes me and my family sick every time we order it. It's extremely greasy. I even tried the chicken tenders, but they were just cheap freezer food chicken tenders. I tried the baked mostaciolli, but the sauce and cheese were exactly the same as the pizza.

Haven't been here for about 3 years. Don't really remember much about it... Had a coupon for a deal so figured me and my family would give it a try. We usually go to cemenos but they are overpriced and long long wait times. Pleasantly surprised Michaels! Sauce was great. Cheese was plentiful and tangy. Crust was just right. Crispy but had a bite to it. Don't know why the not so great reviews... We will definitely order from here again.

Never had a pizza from here so decided to try since we had a $10 coupon for it. So looking over what they had we couldn't decide on a thin crust or stuffed pizza so we got both. The thin crust was a sausage and pepperoni. The stuffed was Italian bee and green peppers. So we get home and grab a slice of each and sit down. The stuffed was "eh" at best. It didn't have much meat in it. All I tasted was green pepper and the sauce. Plus it really wasn't that thick. The thin crust was ok. Whoever made it missed a few spots when putting sauce on it and the dough was a lil chewy and bland. But there was enough sausage, pepperoni and cheese. Next time I'll just go across the street to Jets pizza if I want something close. But there's still a few more pizza places in this area I need to try before I figure out who's best.

If you order pizza from this place with high expectations, I can assure that you will be disappointed. The pizza from Michaels is nothing to talk your head off about, at least not for a good reason. I can use one word to describe their pizza and that word is "mediocre". There's not anything special about it. It's your typical greasy, all cheese, no sauce pizza joint that sells it for a cheap price. I've been a firm believer in the saying "you get what you pay for" and it applies to this review/pizza joint perfectly. I do like to support a family owned restaurant rather than a chain, which was my reasoning for ordering from Michaels in the first place. I had only eaten food from this place as a kid therefore I had no clue what it would be like now. I figured that since it was still in business all this time and had other restaurant locations open that it had to be good for something, which it is; they do make a decent pizza. I'm not bashing this place at all, but I am also not praising it. At best, their pie is mediocre. That's all that I can say about it. If you're fine with that and not a foodie, then order from this place. I realize everyone has different tastes; this place didn't satisfy mine. I will be ordering elsewhere next time I have a craving for pizza though.

Absolutely nothing special here. Carry -out only pizza place. Many pizza places make me eat my self into a fat induced coma but after 2 slices I was good. Not full by any means I was just done with the pizza. It's so mediocre that I might just go Little Caesar's $5 hot-n-ready over Micheal's.

We love getting Michael's pizza at the ballpark during softball season. It's almost our favorite part of the game! :)

Like me, Michael's is one of those places where a lot of people used to frequent, back when the Joliet/Plainfield area wasn't as built up & didn't have much to offer. The place where I get my haircut is right next to this place, so I got curious to see how the place held up after all these years. Service was great, however, carryout only. I got a 12'' double crust (2 thin crusts together) for $10. Its pretty good for the price. The amount of cheese they put on was kinda on the light side. The cheese would easily get pulled off whenever I would take a slice off. Good balance of flavor between the crust,sauce, & cheese even though it wasn't anything spectacular. A good alternative for eating on the cheap, while being a step above chain pizzerias.

I stopped ordering from this location 2 years ago. 3 pizzas in a row were not cooked completely. I gave them several tries as I have been eating here since I was a kid (originally the Romeoville location). The pizza is really bad now. The sandwiches are not good anymore either. It is too bad. I now only order from Nancy's pizza on Route 59.

This is only Take-Out & Delivery. Out of this Michael's, and the ones in Plainfield and Bolingbrook, this one has the best food. The others do not put enough sauce, and the pizza just isn't made as well in my opinion. I do not care for their thin crust at all, but their deep dish is good. For the price, it's good I'll say. You can get a large one for around $15 with 1 topping, unless they raised the prices. Their sauce to me did seem a little sweet, but with a little spice too......but I only noticed the spice in the deep dish, so maybe they add different spices to it on top. I've had their meatball and beef sandwiches, which were pretty good. If you're looking for something a little better than Domino's or Papa John's, this would probably be it as far as their deep dish. I've tried the BBQ chicken thin crust, and to me, the chicken was of terrible quality and was not good at all. I'd prefer the BBQ at Papa John's. I once ordered some deep dishes with one topping or just cheese for some friends who helped me move, and they liked it. They actually ate too much not realizing it was more filling than the size of pizza at a Domino's or Papa John's. LOL Again, not authentic or wonderful or anything, but decent for the price.

Pick Up/Delivery only. Very good pizza. Regular is a nice thin crust. Sauce is just right and ingredients are fresh. Quick and hot. Devoured my 14" pep/gp so fast I am ashamed. I will be back.

One of my favorite pizzas anywhere. Sauce is a little sweet, but a good combo with the sausage. Also, crust is just right, mostly crisp, but just a little chewy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Delivery/pick up

Hate the sweet sauce and super, super greasy. I've tried it a few times but haven't been back in years.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
