    Ok...so...a few friends raved about this place & i decided to give it a go. I will admit the food & ambiance is good...BUT...the service is bad!!! My first time wait was 16 minutes & there was about 6 people in the place. My 2nd visit they got my order wrong & 2 girls behind the counter were blaming eachother & yelling at eachother!!! I decided to come back for more (only because the food was ok). I went in today and guess what?? I was waiting for almost 15 minutes for my food & people that came AFTER me were getting their food. I finally asked & the girl with an attitude said let me check. Turns out the cook never got the order!!! Nice!! At every visit there was no apology at all!!! Do i need to talk to Fat Ricky next time? I'm debating on coming back. There are a ton of other places to go. Why would it take soo long??? All i order is a slice & cheese sticks. I'm afraid to order anything else....might take longer!! FAT RICKY PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

    Worst service. Took forever for a turkey sandwich. Gave us the rest of food first. Everyone else finished food while waiting for turkey sandwich.

    We have eaten here a few times a year for the past several years, but alas, it appears this may be the end. Food was always decent, service somewhat inconsistent. We kept coming back because of the way that Rick loves and gives back to the community. Tonight, however, we almost walked out when the girl at the counter was too busy doing everything except waiting on customers. In hindsight, we should have walked when we had the chance...it would have been better than the half cooked burgers they served us. They did replace the burgers with fully cooked ones when we pointed out how red they were in the middle, but it took a good 20 minutes to get the new ones. All in all, a less than stellar experience. If we give Rick any more business, it will be for pizza delivery, so we don't have to put up with the incompetent staff in the store

    I still think you get the best meatball sandwich right here. A pizza slice is 1/4 of the pie & if it's not hot enough they'll toss it back in the oven

    My co-workers and I have come here quite a few time for pizza slices during our lunch break. We only get 30 minutes, so we usually don't have time to dine in. You get 2 slices of pizza and a can of pop for $5. The slices are generous so we have 2 people per deal, and add just add an extra drink. Full meal for about $3! The pizza has always been ready when we get there, and never tastes old or soggy. Haven't had anything other than the pizza slices, but I would recommend those!

    If I could leave a negative stars review I would. First off, three or four people that came after me got their orders first. Fine, whatever, no big deal. I have never in my life encountered a hot dog that I don't like, until I went to Fat Ricky's. There was something fundamentally wrong with it, it left this weird sour after taste in my mouth after a bite. My order also included a polish sausage and an Italian beef. The polish sausage came in a hoagie/french bread, way too much bread! Rather than the grilled onion that are advertised on their sign, it came with raw diced onion and tomatoes. The Italian beef was the most horrible item of all. It was sour, stale, worst Italian beef I've ever had. I am pretty sure the beef had already gone bad. Ended up having to throw away pretty much all of the food. Do yourself a favor and don't go to this place. Worst food experience I've ever had.

    This would be 5 stars because I love their food but when they sent out coupons that were misprinted, I had to fight with them to them to honor it. Then they acted like they did me a favor.

  • Jane L.

    Would love to give them 5 stars but unfortunately their service cost them stars. The food is great, love their pizza and their Triple J Chicken sandwich. Unfortunately the people working there have an attitude. 50% of the time they get the order wrong and I end up driving back there. The last time they left a dog off my order and when I returned they told me it was my fault because I ordered the burger well done, REALLY? Food is outstanding but I'm tired of their inability to get the order right.

    Our work orders pizza and pasta from here and I actually was able to go to the actual location a few times. I LOVE their thin crust pizza. It's thin...cheesy.....a bit greasy in a good way...and perfect for thin crust lovers. When we order veggie they don't skimp out on the veggies either.

  • Beautiful B.

    The chicken sandwiches are really good, but there delivery service is not the best depending on which employee you get. The same goes for there customer service sometimes it good, and sometimes it's bad.

  • John K.

    I know, as a Chicagoan, we are not supposed to talk about thin crust pizza, but you can't deny its place in the Pizza family tree. That said, Fat Ricky's has one of the better thin crusts around. I have a couple of favorites in Chicago, but finding good thin crust in the burbs is tough. It is all corporate, pre-made junk. For a fresh look at thin, give Fat Ricky's a try.

  • Rick M.

    Awesome Pizza Place People! They only have burgers for people who are dumb enough to want something else at an awesome pizza place! Stop complaining about the burgers and go rate a burger joint! Probably the same people that would ask for a burger at a Chinese restaurant or a beef sandwich at a Taco stand. Great Pizza here!

    I gave this establishment 3 stars only because the other choices real close to it are slim pickings. The food is good depending on what you order. Thin crust pizza is decent, the hamburgers are tasty and you can get a good Chicago dog, fries leave much to be desired.They are like the crinkle cut fries you buy in the frozen food section at the grocery store. Po Boys are excellent but the bread is a bit chewy, so only buy if you got a good set of teeth. You just have to kind of bite and pull each bite but its tasty. Do not go there for the ribs, they are not smoked ribs. They are something they microwaved and slathered BBQ sauce on. Service is decent, I have been in there a couple of times, all young people that can sometimes forget they are at work in what they talk about in front of you as you wait at the counter. Cashier can throw a lil attitude but if you are nice she calms down. If you stick with the things I mentioned you will probably be happy with your meal.

    This review is basically for vegetarians. Came here during lunch when I was at a client nearby. I was underwhelmed at the choices for me, and nothing really appealed to me. I ended up getting a salad, and while it was edible, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

  • Nick W.

    Excellent pizza and really good subs. Their 2 monster slice and soda for $5 is a great deal. I eat there weekly.

  • Jay S.

    Food is great! service the worst they have screwed our orders for pick and delivery over 5 times. They Did not want credit money back to account. They wanted us to Wait another hour for a pizza. Something needs to change at this place. I have heard from other people same thing has happened to them. Italian beef pizza the best!!!!

    Ok time to bring this place down a peg especially since I see these good reviews and I do know why, people are nuts! The deep dish pizza is indeed the most appalling thing on the menu. We ordered it when they first, first opened and it was really good. Then the stupid owner decided he wanted to save money on cheese and instead told everyone to pour tons of sauce on it, yuck! A deep dish is supposed to have a light spead or moderate spread of chunky tomato sauce, not a heeping mess of slop! The thin crust pizza is edible and that is it. The beef sandwiches is horrible! Dry, long in length instead of width, unseasoned crap! The mushrooms are not bad. I am trashing on this place due to Pizza and beef, but pizza is their supposed specialty! Ugh, crap! Maybe if they dipped their beefs in as much juice as they dip their nasty deep dishes in sauce, maybe the beef would be OK. Do not order the deep dish or else you will drown in all the extra sauce. Do not get the beef or you will need to wash every bite down with water, and the piece of crap is tastless anyway.

    Ordered from their catering menu for a work function. It turned out to be an incredible value. Chopped Chicken Salad was wonderful, tons of chicken and their house dressing was great. Papa Rich's Casserole is a favorite of mine, and my guests agreed. Finally, the Italian Beef was full of flavor. The delivery woman was quite helpful and offered to help set up. The Sterno rack, sternos and plates etc.. were included in the price. I would recommend their catering to anyone.

    Best subs in the area. We can't get past the massimo and prosciutto provolone. Thin pizzas are great too.

    Best pizza in romeoville by far.

  • Chris W.

    Food is over priced and last time I was there two cashiers argued in front of me for 5 mins and never said a word to me. A 3rd person final came and helped me. Better off going to Nicks or Atsanice

    Was over at Gamma's house and we had a taste for pizza. Normally we order thin crust, but after seeing the pic on the menu of their deep dish, we had to try it. About an hour later, they delivered, and it was worth the wait. Lots of melted cheese, sweet cherry tomato like pizza sauce, and perfectly cooked Gino's East like crust. Also, the medium was huge! And only $15 bucks! We will definitely be going here again.

  • Kate S.

    Love this place they have great food! I think I have had just about everything on their menu. It is always hot and delicious! Service can be a tad slow here but it is worth the wait! Nothing is worse then getting cold food! A must when you come to Fat Ricky's is the blue cheese fries! Soooooooooo good but soooo bad!

  • Rachael Z.

    This is one of the few great gems left in this area of Romeoville and there Mossimo ( I am sorry if that is not the exact name of their sandwich) is so great and filling...I have not had such a great sandwich since I was a kid when delis used to have meat pilled high..but this brings you back to that time. The pizza is always fresh and hot. The people are very nice and helpful-I can't say a bad thing about the place except perhaps the prices are a bit high but really worth it. I would suggest that you ask for light oil on the subs, as they can overdo it but honestly I usually have the opposite problem.

  • David H.

    I would usually feel bad about giving a 5 star review only trying one thing on the menu, but NOT THIS TIME! No oh no Fat Ricky's has the BEST Chicago style hot dogs I've ever had. I hate all the restaurant's franchise & mom and pop's that say they have Chicago Vienna Hot Dogs, when really they are just Oscar Meyer's. From what I've heard they're pizza and beef are good too. But they are too far of a drive for me to try those. All I know is everytime I drive past Fat Ricky's I want a GOOD HOT DOG!

  • Miguel R.

    This place is great. Unfortunately I work across the street from here, so I'm going to get fat at fat ricky's every day! It's your classic burger / pizza shop. The menu actually has a lot of choices; italian, salads, dogs, beef, burgers, and pizza! Not to mention that the price is good, and the portions are large. Ugh, I'm going to get so fat it's sick......

  • Lupe G.

    Their thin cut, New York style pizza is great! They offer a special for $6 well worth the money

  • Eric C.

    Tried the pizza for the first time. Not bad, ordered delivery and in about 35-40min my pizza came hot and made to order. The double dough is a very impressive pizza, weighted about 5-8lbs. Lots of cheese and toppings. No skimpy pie. I'd say if you like a little crunch in your crust, and a full belly? Then belly up, grab a handful of napkins and chow down.

    I ate here during my IL visit earlier this month on October 12, 2011. My brother invited me and a friend to lunch at Fat Ricky's because it was close to his workplace. Being away from my hometown for a long time, I was craving good Chicago style food and was thrilled to find it here. My friend Terrie ordered the Massimo sub, my brother Fred had the Italian sausage, and I had the Italian beef. My friend and I shared our sandwiches so that we both had half of each. The Italian beef was so tender it practically melted in my mouth! The Massimo sub's flavors were absolutely delicious! My brother enjoyed his sandwich too. The food was excellent! However, I can only give it a 4 star rating because the service needs improvement. The counter clerk was so busy taking orders at the drive through window that I was ignored for over 10 minutes. I gave up and just sat down. Later my brother placed our order at the counter. I'm not sure if it was just a bad time or not enough staff. There were only about 2 other tables occupied at the time while there did seem to be a steady flow of vehicles at the drive through window. As a recommendation, I would suggest table service instead of counter service. The tasty food made it all worthwhile and I will go again whenever I return to the area.

    Best in the area for Pizza, Cannolis, salads and beef sandwiches. They also have a drive thru for quick service. My teenagers LOVE this place and I do as well.

    I have a change of heart. A year ago when I went to fat rickys, i wasn't happy with the service that I receive from this restaurant. Recently i ordered some food from this restaurant, and the service has improved. I ordered a chicken sandwich, and it was delicious. I've been back several times since then.

    This review is regarding catering. I purchased two pounds of beef and a loaf of bread in a pinch today. It was for my daughters 16th birthday and time got away from me and I thought this would solve my problem. Boy was I wrong. Major disappointment. The meat was horrible and I don't think the way they packaged it was correct, The bread was stale and they only gave me 1 1/2 cups of au jus. I have been eating the food from here for years.....since the days when they were in EP. I have to say I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the product. Needless to say I wasted $37. on food that went straight into the garbage and ended up making my bbq boneless wings....

    Every time and I do mean every time I order from this location my order is either wrong or wrong with a poorly made sandwich/calzone, burger etc. the other day my mother asked me to get her a 1lb burger from here, she wanted to cut it in half and have it for two days. When she opened the box it was a burger with 4 patties to equal a pound now how are you suppose to eat that and oh yea they forgot the cheese on the cheese burger. Horrible

    Great pizza, sandwiches!! Was mad because the menu said large and small drinks. I ordered a large coke, they opened a 12oz can and dumped it in small cup!!!!! Got charged for large even tho I was told after the fact only one size cup.

    We went to the new one in Orland Park, so I don't know if there is a difference or not. I must be really spoiled on good pizza, because I thought this place sucked. The pizza tasted like Tombstone and they messed up a simple order. We complained and they gave us fries that had weird black crispy things in it. The girl serving us at the counter seemed clueless. What a waste of a good appetite.

  • Jenni E.

    I stopped by here when out in Romeoville and I was not impressed. I tried the Italian Beef sandwich and didn't even bother finishing it because it was so bland. The next time I am in this area, I may come back and try one of the sub sandwiches to see if those are any good.

  • Amanda R.

    Always manage to get our order wrong but make some damn good pizza! I'd recommend it just make sure to check your order and receipt, and have free time!

  • Erin D.

    Hands down our favorite deep-dish pizza! Better than Gino's or Giordano's, although Giordano's comes in as a close second. Everything else we've ever tried there has been good, but not fantastic. But like I said, this place will always be our favorite place to take non-Chicagoan visitors to show them what really awesome Chicago-style pizza is like.

  • Leonard W.

    I rate this 5 stars because I put Fat Ricky's in the category of a family restaurant for the range of America's favorite "treat" foods...pizza, italian beef, hamburgers, hotdogs, etc. The pizza is, bar none, one of the best thin crust pizzas that I have eaten, around the country. They use fresh vegetables, and their sausage and pepperoni is high quality and tasty. The crusty is excellent thin crust. I have had the Italian beef and it is excellent. It is the hands down favorite for my family which ranges in age from 23-55.

    Great place to stop and get yourself some grub at a reasonable price. A great menu to keep you coming back to try the next item.

  • Andy M.

    This place was awful. The Hamburger I tried was one of the worse and the fries they served were cold. It is very expensive too for a burger joint and you are much better off going to a chain resteraunt if you have the time than eating at this place. The place also was very hot and the smell of the grill proliferated all over the place. It felt like you were eating right next to the greasy stove. Not a very good place at all.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Pizza

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.
