Pasta Mia

We love the pizza, extra thin. The specials are their best dishes. The staff are all friendly. We have been going there for quite a few years.

This is my first time ordering from here but it won’t be the last. True thin crust pizza and the best I’ve had in years. As good or better than any expensive pizza place in the Loop. Fast and friendly delivery guy… give it a try if you love thin crust pizza, you won’t regret it.

Restaurant review
I’ve been to this unassuming pizza place a few times and have been impressed by their thin crust pizza. They seem to use very fresh ingredients and the cheese is not too greasy. The best is when you buy it on one day where all pizzas were 50% off however I don’t know if they are still running this promotion. The largest pizza is enough to feed a lot of people. I have not tried any of their other type of pizzas except for their thin crust.
Pros: Great thin crust pizza not too greasy
Cons: Gets really busy and customer service at the desk is sometimes lacking
Hidden deals:
Monday used to be 50% pizza however you should call to verify that this is still the case

We ordered from Pasta Mia for our Christmas Eve family dinner. Everything was excellent. The beef sandwiches and pasta were a huge hit with the family. When we picked it up, they were just getting it out of the oven, so everything was piping hot. Great job. Thank you

Giving this 5 stars with only a couple of caveats. Last nights pasta and chicken florentine could not be better. I’ve had that dish st 5 places close to here and st $ 5-​$ 10 more. This is as good. Tonight I had the lemon tilapia. Flaky breaded and baked fish was excellent, to a Floridan’s taste should have been cooked a tad less. Pasta fazoul was well made and brimming with brand but lacked any kick. This is a great value spot. Most dinners under $ 15 and wine is reasonable. Becoming a fav.

We attended a children’s birthday party at Pasta Mia on a Saturday afternoon and had a really enjoyable time.
Décor: The outside is a bit unassuming as it is in a strip mall, but inside they do a solid effort of making it feel as authentic as they can. The party «area» (it was not a separate room) was the perfect size for our gathering and the rest of the place is a decent size too. I was told that they just recently expanded their space so that must have been where we were located.
Bathroom: clean and inviting
Staff: All of the waitresses were johnny-​on-​the-​spot with anything that we needed. Great service!
Food: As you might imagine, we had pizza. There was a salad to accompany it, which was basic and very tasty, and the pizzas had assorted toppings. Everything was very tasty and there was more than enough food to go around. Great taste, flavor, and everything was hot and fresh!
Value: unknown
Pasta Mia is a great little Italian spot at which I would not mind returning for a full on meal.

Been coming here for a few years and it’s great place for good Italian comfort, classic food. Both the fried and grilled calamari are very good. Menu has a lot of variety and the pizzas are always a hit. Recently remodeled with TVs, larger bar and separate seating areas so if you want to have an intimate private party, this would be s good choice.

Went last night for dinner with family. The place is very close to home and when we got there at like 6:45 dining room was empty, but the bar had people. Our waitress was very friendly she told us that Monday was half price pizza. We ordered a cheese and sausage pan pizza, a pasta entrée, arrancini, and chicken wing appetizer. My son loved the teriyaki wings, the arrancini was just so-​so, the pasta had artichoke and tomato-​pretty good, but the pizza was OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS!!! We LOVED it. I have no idea why some of the other reviews were not so good. Perfect crust, just the right amount of sauce and tons of cheese. This was only $ 9.97, once the half off was taken. I have no idea why anyone would ever go to Morretti’s. We will be back. Please give it a chance. Great, great pizza.

I’ve been to pasta mia multiple times over the years, and have never had a problem with the service or quality of food, rather it be dine-​in, or delivery, busy or slow. The wait staff is alway pleasant, and attentive. The pizza is to die for, my favorite is the broccoli/​tomato. Everything is fresh and homemade. Pasta always has the right about of sauce and huge servings. We will definitely be continuing our business there!

This is undeniably some of the worst food I’ve ever put in my mouth. I just didn’t know what to expect when we came here. We always drove by and figured we’d give it a shot. I honestly feel like I would have been better off flushing my money down the toilet.
Here’s what we ordered:
Chicken Vesuvius which came with salad:
This was described on the menu as chicken with garlic and a light sauce with potatoes. When I got it I was a little blown away. The potatoes are actually potato wedges (the kind you deep fry and eat away your sorrows at a cheap bar). There was no color in the dish and whatever the sauce was wasn’t a sauce… it was a oil slick. There was garlic, but it didn’t taste like anything except bland sadness. The chicken itself had obviously been frozen for months. For $ 15 I could have just driven a few miles and gotten all you can eat sushi instead. The taste was revolting. It was equivalent to what I would give my son as a punishment. There was zero seasoning on this dish. I ate one potato wedge (of the 5 on the plate) and half a chicken breast (of the 3 on the plate) and politely declined when the waitress asked if I wanted the rest wrapped up because I wouldn’t even have the nerve to give this to my dog. The salad was OK… you can’t mess up a salad… but the croutons were burnt.
Chicken Pollo sandwich:
My fiancé ordered this and by the look on his face alone I’m gathering that he didn’t enjoy it at all. The bread itself was gluey on the inside and then indestructible on the outside. It looked to be an egg bread (shiny on the outside) but it looked like it had the consistency akin to something like polyester. Hey it flexes, but you can’t rip it apart. How the inside was raw is beyond me. He got potato salad with it and it completely lacked seasoning. He ended up eating half of the potato salad and only the chicken (which was dry) from the inside of the sandwich.
Chicken tenders and fries:
My son got this (I’m so sorry, Desmond). The chicken fingers were obviously frozen. They looked like Tyson chicken nuggets, just longer. The fries have zero seasoning. They just tasted old to be honest. He didn’t eat much of it thankfully.
At the end of this excursion I spent $ 36 plus tip. When you stop and think of the things you could have gotten for $ 36+ instead of dropping it on food you only ate ¼ of it gets really depressing. $ 36 gets you a lot of decent sushi up the street. $ 36 pays for a month of internet. $ 36 gives you a good amount of groceries. $ 36 pays for two and a half months of world of warcraft. $ 36 will make a homeless person’s day. If I wanted a ton of frozen food served to me, I would have gone and bought $ 36 of frozen food from Jewel because at least then I’d throw salt on it before serving it.
This was by far the worst food I ever put in my mouth and I wouldn’t be surprised if I got sick off the 5 bites I did dare to take of this food. All that went through my head was how this place is worse than some places you see on restaurant impossible.

I went on Halloween yesterday, and I have been here plenty of times for different occasions and have had great service, yesterday was terrible. I was with a group of 6 friends, myself included, nobody was there and this was around 8ish… I don’t remember the name of our waitress but she had such a terrible attitude and her tip reflected that, sad to say. I get that it is Halloween and if it was a bad day to be at work, that did not need to be shown to me or my friends but it was. We were not offered an appetizer, nor dessert and I would want my staff pushing guests to order more food if it would help business, my opinion. We had extra pizza at the end and we were not offered a to go box to take home our food. We had had enough of our dinner and just wanted to get out. Also we were not refilled with water and went to the car to get water because she seemed too bothered to be asked.
I do recommend this place because in the past I have experienced quality service and the food is good.
Very disappointed yesterday in our service and hope for better the next time.

I have always enjoyed the pasta dishes and the sandwiches. The pizza is just not good. No seasoning, very bland and never cooked long enough. I like the veal but the pasta it was served with had zero flavor. Salt couldn’t even help it. The calamari cooked with gardiniera is pretty great and the creamy Italian dressing is a favorite. I will say they do have the best bread! Of all the times I have been there I have never had a good experience with their waitstaff. They serve you with as little interaction as possible and are never friendly. I like the atmosphere and the price is right. It’s a good place to go every few months but it loses a little if its appeal each visit

While I will admit that the service inside of the restaurant itself is not the best, specialty pizzas and pasta dishes at this joint are fairly good for the area. While some of the pasta dishes are overpriced for what they are, in general, they have some solid Italian food. It is nice to be able to get delivery or dine in without being uncomfortable with the atmosphere. The cheesy beef stuffed pizza is really great. The food and recipes are reliable and this place is my go-​to in this area.

Used to be one of my favorite places but recently I have ordered from there and have had terrible food. Not sure what happened…

Excellent service good food and priced right! They have a pizza that has Italian Beef and Hot Giardiniera that has just a little kick. The Calamari which was finished with the same Giardiniera too that is really great!
Really friendly staff, and al fresco dining is a plus!

Great spot for a meal like your Italian grandma would have made. Entrees come with soup or salad. Dinner specials change weekly. love it, comfortable food!

The place looks nice inside. I went there 3 different times on my lunch break just to be sure pizza can actually be this tasteless. When you go to order they have all their pizzas laid out nicely on the countertop to choose from. Yep… it could pass for cardboard! The pizza is awful… don’t believe me? Go try it for yourself! The soup tastes like it’s 100% made from a bag.

The service was really slow, only half of our food came out and the ravioli came out cold, the tilapia was spoiled. So we told the manager and he said when you make fish it could taste really fushy… he was rude… we also had to go get our own cocktail s at the bar the waitress was too busy..

We have been a customer since day one. We always order pizza on Monday nights. The food has been going downhill for the past few years. The past 4 times I’ve ordered the chicken Parmigiana it has been dry to where I have to add my own sauce or throw it out. This past week we ordered pizza for delivery and again need to add extra sauce because it seems they cut back on it. Well the pizza was delivered and it looks like the driver tipped it and all the topping slid off the pizza all to one side. I called and the mgr said it’s because we ordered extra sauce! He me me feel like it was my own fault. We always order extra sauce never had trouble. He told me he would remake a new pizza and my husband had to go get it! They didn’t offer to refund the pizza price or the delivery charge we paid earlier! By the way with extra sauce my husband got it home in one piece!!!

Their italian beef pizza is terrific. My wife and daughter love their eggplant. Very good home made Italian ice. Quick delivery.
