Pronto’s

This review is for the panini. The bread was not crusty and not toasted. So basically it was a grilled vegetable sandwich. Which is okay but I wanted a panini. It could have been saved if the bread was a better quality but it’s still not a panini.

The New Pronto’s location is great. They hired architects and designers to fully remodel this former diner, and you can tell. The place looks great. The draw to Pronto’s is still the specialty pizzas. The Blackened chicken pizza has an incredible «creamy roasted red pepper sauce». An 18″ XL blackened chicken (or Buffalo chicken) pizza will run you $ 35, and feeds 5 people. Dining solo? Try the blackened chicken sandwich! With full bar, this is an excellent date spot. They are typically not crowded even during weekday lunch rush. Pronto’s knows what they’re doing. It’s a matter of time before the word gets out about this gem.

Food was above average, had 4 different apps with a group. The baked clams were very small and were more cheese than anything else. The stuffed mushrooms were significantly sized and very flavorful. The Mozziretti mini sandwiches were great. The breadsticks with sauce were average. We also split a deep dish pizza was very good and a huge portion. The biggest downfall was the wait. We fully expect to wait the advertised 30 minutes for the pizza but it actually took about an hour for it. The staff was pleasant enough but not annoyingly friendly.

Good food, good service, good prices. Waitresses are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is nice. I would recommend this restaurant to all. The pizza is fantastic

First time visitor. Party of 4 Adults 2 kids. We were looking for good food and relaxed atmosphere. We found Great food, Great Service. Baked Clams 10 2 Pasta dishes 8+ On one of them, we asked for extra sauce. (They said it would be a few since they make from scratch. SCRATCH!!!) Meatballs were very good. Chicken Marsala 10 Salads all were very fresh tasting. Service, we had the cute guy with long hair. Mike? Very personable. We asked for recommendations and he said cheesecake. And now I am telling you. CHEESECAKE.
This will be our new go to restaurant. Thanks for a great night.

Just returned from a Saturday evening visit. Seating is limited but there was no wait. It looks very nice inside. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. Drinks were filled promptly and clutter and garbage quickly cleared from table and everyone seemed to work together as a team. I saw the hostess carrying a full bus tray of dirty dishes to swap it out for an empty.
We had the fried calamari. It was light and cooked perfectly so it was very tender. (I could see how it might not work for take out as mentioned in the other review but great in house.) The pizza’s crust was thin and crispy and I liked that it was not undercooked. I will be returning.

What a nice place! Obviously Pronto’s is known in town for their fabulous pizza, so I was anxious to try their new full service restaurant and was not disappointed. The décor is clean, fresh and modern. The full service bar is inviting along with the staff, they were all very personable that contributed to the fun atmosphere. The appetizers were fantastic, the grilled calamari was one of the best I have had. I heard the owners wife makes all the desserts — we were so full — we couldn’t order dessert, next time, because we will be back!

I wanted to like this place. I really did. We have been getting their pizza (take out) off and on for years. They seem like good people, and the pizza is usually very good. Now they moved to a full restaurant location just a couple blocks South of their previous location. My family of 4 decided to give the restaurant a try. My 2 teenagers got a pepperoni pizza. It was very good. (Although we thought it was odd that they told us we just got the last of the pepperoni. How does a pizza place run out of pepperoni?) My husband got the veal parmesan. The veal was average, but the pasta was just ok. I got the mushroom florentine pasta, which was very disappointing. It was swimming in water– from the mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes, all potentially watery, but it was disappointing that they didn’t drain it better. So it felt like I was eating pasta and cheese soup. I asked for a bowl to pour the water away from the pasta, and the waiter offered to pay for my beer as a consolation. I appreciated the effort, but remained disappointed with the pasta. Neither of our 2 pasta meals included bread. Seems strange to eat a pasta meal with no side of bread. Finally, a few days later, my son and I were in the mood for a steak sandwich. We each tried the French Onion Steak Sandwich– to go. The price was a bit high ($ 12.95) but would be worth it in some cases. The sandwich had good flavor, but was awfully small. No sides came with it. If fries came with it, I would felt like the price was a bit more appropriate. I felt like it wasn’t worth the price. A little «value-​added» would make this a much better restaurant.

Ordered the lasagna wasn’t expecting anything special. I must say it was delicious. Ordering again for the 2^nd night

Disclaimer: So I give Pronto’s two stars for the pure fact that they are so stingy with their coupons. It really rubbed me the wrong way.
First of all, all the mail in coupons I get from them are only for pick up and delivery. I don’t get that! Normally it is the opposite because restaurants make money off the drinks and tips!!! But I was like ok… whatever…
So then they have a coupon on Unilocal.Check in and get a free 12 in cheese pizza with the purchase of a 16″ one topping pizza. Since you are checking in I am assuming that means you are eating in the restaurant and there was no mention that the Unilocal coupon wasn’t valid in the dining room. But to no surprise… It was not valid!!! That is false advertising. The Unilocal coupon states nothing about having to do pick up or delivery.
Overall, this is one of my favorite pizza places in my area and my server was really nice, so I did not want to throw a fit about the coupons. I’m just overall upset by how stingy management is. The dining room wasn’t even crowded. You would think they would want people to use their coupons to give them more business in their dining room area.
I was also annoyed by the fact that they would not allow us to preorder our pizza for dine in before we came. Who cares? It’s not that complicated.
Sorry prontos, I love your pizza, but your stinginess, gives you 2 stars in my book.

I have been visiting Prontos since long before their current location. They appeared in Bloomongdale roughly around the same time as my arrival from NYC. For me their attraction was the thin crust pizza. In a land of deep dish, their thin crust was phenomenal. Later I started grabbing my wraps and salads there too, because the price was very competitive and the quality was heads above the corporate chains. Now they have a new location, a real dining room and a real bar. Staff is first rate, showing the commitment to quality and a strong connection to the local community. Today I did the fresh ravioli and a bruschetta because sometimes a man just needs balsamic and tomato. I like these guys, they are good and they care about the food. I will be a regular at the new place.

Absolutely terrible customer service. They completely forgot a large order for a birthday party which was ordered and paid for several hours before. The food then arrived over one hour late without even an apology. The staff could not have been more rude. NEVER ORDER FROM HERE!

The food is yummy. I regularly order their margarita pizza and bruschetta for delivery. This was my first time eating in. The service was great. No complaints there at all. Friendly. Quick. Refills as soon as they were needed.
My biggest complaint is that the restaurant was very loud. I don’t know if this is normal but we couldn’t really talk. We could hear the TVs from the bar as well as an almost constant murmur from the bar area. We could hear other people’s conversations from across the restaurant. I would definitely get the food again but not sure if I’d eat in again.

Went here with high hopes, I would finally find a good pizza place in Bloomingdale. Well nada… We love thin crust pizza so that is what we ordered. At first they seemed confused who was going to wait on us. The bar person said she would take our order as she was doing a little of both that night. We were not sitting in the bar but the restaurant… however it made no difference to us who took our order as long as they were pleasant and provided good service. She was pleasant but in a hurry.
We ordered a salad and thin crust pizza with sausage, and onions. The server brings us 3 small slices of bread… three? How about splurging and serving a little more. You got more bread in the Viking days when your ready to meet your fate. (did you see the chunk of bread they gave to the guy on Black Sails)?
The salad was one of the worst I ever had. It had so many different LARGE pieces of several types of greens that that had seen a better day. It appeared they had been on the beach in Miami soaking up the sun far too long. The greens were sooooooooo limp… a few onions, maybe a small slice of tomato, and a cucumber. I can’t remember what what else was in it like maybe croutons because it was such a disaster.
The pizza: The crust was thin but not crispy all the way through. Once you bite past the very edge of the pizza, the dough was gummy in the middle. Too much cheese, not enough sauce. What sauce was on it had no taste. The Sausage was bland. Now here is the kicker… when you took a bite of the pizza, EVERYTHING came off the top of the crust. You have a mouthful of all the toppings in one piece hanging off your lips… Who wants to eat pizza like this?
Sorry guys I really wanted to like you. The best pizza we have encountered thus far, is Village Pizza on Randall Road. Elgin. Next to Burnt Toast Resturant. (I am not sure if they are even Italian) Best thin crust around. Sauce is just the right amount and flavorful. They could improve on their sausage for our liking. Needs a little more spices. Quite a drive from Bloomingdale… but worth the trip if the local pizza places are a miss…

Forget about Rosati’s cuz this place is where it’s at. GET A MARGARITA PIZZA. And the based shrimp appetizer. And some breaded mushrooms. Really you will enjoy it without a doubt. They have good crust and it’s nice and thin. Bravo guys. I’m a new regular! :)

Overcooked and extremely dry pizza. Where was the sauce??? Our first try there. Sorry to say our last. Seemed a little disorganized.

This review is based on their calamari. Just returned from there with a lunch take-​out order. Was excited to have a place near my work for take out. My order was ready for me at the time they stated. My excitement was short lived though after tasting the calamari.
The lemons and sauce were packed in with the calamari. The sauce (bland marinara?) spilled over half of the dish which was unfortunate because the sauce wasn’t that good and I prefer tabasco. The lemons had lost all their juice probably from the heat of the dish. The calamari was soggy but not overcooked.
All in all I think my $ 9 would have better spent elsewhere. I may give their pizza a try in the near future since it is close to work. I will update at that time

Great, fresh food with imaginative ingredients. My daughter ordered the arugula pizza and I had the shrimp diavolo. I could keep going back and never get tired of the menu.

We started with mini stanching-​delicious! Then baked clams-​wow! Next, classic bruschetta-​the tomatoes were as good as the ones in Italy! Next came pizzas-​cheese, and cheese and sausage-​as good as always! The place looks great and the food was a hit!

Bloomingdale made a big mistake by not keeping Pronto’s in town, shame on this village for letting a fine restaurant of this kind getting away, not only are the proprietors of Pronto’s of good standing, the product they put on the table is of top shelf, there menu is by far one of the best I have ever seen, top ingredients in everything they serve, best pizza ever. I can’t complain to much, instead of a 5 minuet drive to the old restaurant, I now have to drive 7 minuets, and well worth the drive, now I can sit in the restaurant and have a fine Italian dinner. What a special treat evening for dinner, I had Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce, one of my favorites, and my wife had Veal Parmesan, she said her dish was about the best she has ever had, and the soft touch of the of the décor, and the servers that made us feel so comfortable makes it a very relaxing time to enjoy a good meal. Yes this structure has been completely remodeled, very nicely done, neat and clean, makes you wonder how some of these other restaurants get buy, wonder were the health inspectors are. Thanks to Johnny and Mark, 2 top chefs and lets not forget the pastry department with yet another top chef in the desert field, Mary has been in this field of fine pastries for many years, so good luck to you all, may you prosper in the years to come, Regards, Mr&Mrs.Nick Pollos

Tried this place yesterday for the first time and I was very impressed with the pizza. We ordered a medium cheese pan pizza with a side of French fries. The fries were salted and very crispy which we enjoyed. The pizza was fantastic. The cheese and crust were really great! I will most defiantly order from Pronto’s again. Delivery was on time however I was placed on hold 3xs before I was able to order my food!

Prontos is the BEST and my go-​to place for pizza in the area. Their other items on the menu — especially paninis, salads, and appetizers — are great too!

We went to the new location that was still being remodeled. The beef sandwich is amazing! The added mozzarella cheese puts it over the top! The gardinera (sp?) is more like a spread, which is excellent because it stays in the sandwich! Staff was so nice and accommodating. We play in a pool league once a week right next door and hate the food there, so this place will be perfect for us!

We have ordered from Pronto’s a couple of times after hearing about their reputation as having the best pizza in Bloomingdale. I really like it and they have good gluten-​free options for my wife as well.
The delivery times and prices were reasonable as well. I think we may have found a new regular pizza place to order from.

Well this was our first and last Prontos order. Ordered a med pizza, extra thin crust with sausage, onion, mushroom, spinach. We also ordered calamari and mushrooms. I was told it would be to us in 45 minutes… no, it was an hour and a half. If it’s going to take that long just tell me that! Our pizza was luke warm. The calamari was chewy and disgusting and the mushrooms were cold… no warmth whatsoever. This was a $ 45 meal with tip. Not remotely worth it.
Very disappointing!

Had some of their pizza on Saturday, it was a pick up so I can’t comment on the delivery.
It was actually OK, probably best pizza I’ve had from any place in Bloomingdale, crust was just fine, sauce had some flavor to it, ingredients on the rather skimpy site but overall no major complaints. Service was acceptable, it wasn’t too dirty so I might try them again.

I’m not the biggest pizza fan around but WOW! I had it for the first time tonight. I had a coupon for a free 12″ pizza with an 18″. Our 18″ had alfredo and chicken, and our 12″ we asked if they could substitute the pizza sauce for their basil pesto sauce. AMAZING! The crust was delicious, they put plenty of cheese on it, and the basil pesto is really really good. New pizza place!

Due to a temporary move, we searched reviews for pizza one Saturday night in a new town. Due to lots of high reviews, we tried Pronto’s. The menu was huge and even offered suggestions for the level of done-​ness of the crust. We ordered a House Salad (large enough for two) and a medium, well done pizza with broccoli (yes!), tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, green peppers and tomatoes. It was insanely tasty and I will never not order pizza well done. Coupons on their website gave us a free cheese pizza which was fine, albeit boring. Price was acceptable due to the extra veggies and cook time was quick — we opted for take out. This is a great local spot in northern DuPage County and we will be back. Take my advice and order you’re next pizza well done!

I ordered a double dough pizza with sausage, Italian beef and sweet peppers. The pizza was excellent, the right amount of dough complemented by plenty of ingredients, not overly cheesy (I ordered ez cheese) and the perfect amount of sauce made for a very good pie.

Prontos is one of only two businesses left in an otherwise deserted strip mall. You would totally miss it if you were driving along and not actively looking for it. I received a flyer in the mail and thought I’d give them a try. I’ve ordered food from Prontos a few times since and overall the food is good. The pizza is somewhat pricey and I wish they would put a foil on the bottom so leftovers don’t stick to the box but it is tasty. Lou’s still is tops for me but Prontos is a good occasional pizza substitute. I ordered their «jumbo wings» once which were far from what I would define as jumbo. But they were good. Delivery times are also fairly reasonable. They tend to overestimate that time which gives you a nice feeling when they actually exceed expectations.
The staff seems pretty nice too which is a plus. I will definitely order from them again.

The only place we order pizza from in bloomingdale. We always order the thin crust. They are the only place to have consistently good pizza. Their pasta (vodka sauce) is great. Their steak sandwich is also good. Every other pizza place in town is hit or miss. Can’t go wrong with Pronto!

This place has the BEST food. You will be happy with anything you order. I just ate here and am already daydreaming about what I will order next time. Also, the owner and people that work here are so friendly and welcoming.

Call ahead to pick up a pizza for lunch! Great beef sandwich as well with relish style diced giardiniera. They do every Italian style cuisine really good! i hear thier chef/​owner was trained in a really good kitchen.
You can judge most restaurants by their bread and these loafs are perfect!
Sandwiches and pizza all the way at this place. i would love to see Pronto’s expand to a larger sit down restaurant. It deserves it. or maybe just some outdoor seating! With quality at the center of Pronto’s game plan, I would love to see some cured meats; i. e prosciutto.
I can see it now. Fast lunch, super casual italian deli.“PRONTO’S”.
Knocking down the wall that separates the kitchen adding a long glass cold case for the drinks and adding meat and cheese. it would totally transform the feel of the place. therefore, i feel this great lunch spot is not yet perfect. it still has the feel of a takeaway pizza joint. The prices are fair. I’ll be back next week.

I am debating on how many stars to give them because of the last delivery. The word «Normally» will be used quite often during my review. Pronto’s normally has great pizzas and my fiancé and I normally love to order from here. Unfortunately, it is hit and miss with their pizza. Normally, it comes piping hot and the cheese is just gooey and the grease is awesome. However, this past delivery we got our pizza almost cold, an hour and half after the call was made, and they forgot our salad.
Normally, they are worth 5 stars, but this last run did not live up to their five stars. I am going to have to give it 3 stars because the it’s almost as if they didn’t care this last order.

The owner is a really nice guy. Called about 5 minutes before closing and he let me place a take out order. I only wanted wings and a slice of pizza. He took care of me and it was hot and tasty.
The slice of pizza tastes much different than their whole pies. I prefer the taste of the whole pizza, but the slice was pretty good.
The coupons are in most area mailers and you receive more coupons which each purchase.
