I recently had the pleasure of visiting your Store and I must say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome from the staff, who were all extremely courteous and attentive. The atmosphere of the store was cozy, clean, and perfect for a ... relaxed meal with family or friends. Now, let’s talk about the pizza—absolutely delicious! The crust was perfectly baked, with just the right amount of crunch on the outside and softness inside One of the things I really appreciated was the speed of service. Even though the store was fairly busy, our order arrived promptly, hot and fresh from the oven. They also offered a nice selection of drinks and which were equally delicious. Read More
Stopped by Italian Express on Devon and was blown away. I grabbed the spicy gyros platter and a slice of their meat lovers pizza, both were legit. The gyros had that perfect kick, and the pizza was loaded with toppings. Spent around $20, and it was worth every penny. Staff was friendly, and the vibe felt like classic ... Chicago. Definitely coming back for more. Read More
Hit up Italian Express on Devon for lunch today and wow, what a spot. Grabbed the spicy gyro sandwich—tender, flavorful meat with just the right kick. Paired it with a side of crispy fries and a cold soda. The combo was filling and hit the spot. Service was quick, and the vibe was low-key and friendly. If you're in ... the area and craving halal comfort food, this place is a solid choice. Read More
