Pub type atmosphere in the bar area and they have a separate room for families that has the feel of and old fashioned pizza place. The food is wonderful and the wait staff is friendly and accommodating. We had pizza and draft beer. The pizza crust is thin and crispy - NOT BURNED! The toppings are plentiful and very tasty. The place has been in business for 40 years and once youve eaten there youll know why.
I went there for the first time in years and wasnt disappointed. The pizza & buffalo wings were delicious. Will definitely go again.
Some of the best pizza around, an old favorite. Very crowded even during covid times, just make a reservation or book a private room.
I don’t know how we have never tried this place before. Ordered the turkey club and buffalo chicken sandwiches. Wow they were delicious. Hot and fresh for curbside pickup, the fries were tasty too although we couldn’t finish them we were so full from the sandwiches. Cant wait to try out more menu items!
Good pizza and a nice variety of pizzas available to order. The restaurant building is nice and the seating is good with tables and booths.Nice selection of beers on tap which featured goose island green line when I visited. 15 bucks for a pitcher which is about 4 and a half full glasses.The pizza had good sauce just a little sweet, and the cheese blend was good as well. Cooked properly not overdone or undercooked so that the cheese is at that stage where its nicely melted but not gooey.Overall good dine in pizza experience.
Food and service was out standing great place for just about anything! Reminds me of the legacy pizzerias that we grew up with everything from pizza parties to dates. To a quick watering hole after work very accommodating on all levels highly recommend!
My family and I have been ordering take out for many years and have really enjoyed the pizza. Today my family and I decided to dine in the restaurant, we ordered pizza again of course. When I went to add Parmesan to my pizza from the shaker I noticed a long piece of hair inside of the cheese. When I told the waitress she took the Parmesan put it on to another table and grabbed us a new Parmesan off of another table and said here you go. No apology, no nothing. She completely brushed it off as if this was ok. After that I no longer wanted to eat here but stayed for the sake of a family outing. Later on I went to a pour a drink from the pitcher and there was a long piece of hair in the pop pitcher as well. When I told the waitress she grabbed the pop pitcher slammed it on to another table, again no apology or anything and grabbed another pitcher. Highly disappointed of cleanliness of restaurant, poor customer service. Staff should definitely wear hair nets. They lost a loyal patron. I won’t be back!!
Love the pizza. Ordered calamari and this is what we got…can’t add a picture, but it was 6 calamari rings in the box. When my husband called they said it is sold by weight. He did not weigh it but 6 rings??? Do they make it fresh or is it frozen? Weight, like we are ordering fish from a fresh fish market. Truly disappointed in a place we order from all the time.
Ordered thru GrubHub. Pizza arrived late. Pizza was cold, stale and just plain horrible. We love pizza and have just about tried several other pizzerias. Will not be a return customer.
We had our after wake service party here. Pizza was pretty good but others didnt care for the spaghetti or ravioli. Service was great though.
Had my daughters 8th grade graduation party their and they did a amazing job. Food was great, staff was amazing, and the price was very reasonable. They made the cake which was one of the best cakes Ive had. Would definitely have another party there and highly recommend it.
Jill was a fantastic server we told her we were in a hurry but dont be afraid to over cook cuz thats how we like. Pizza was great. We all grew up with the family and greatful youre still serving the best pizza in the area or even Chicago.
We were here for a party. The food was delicious. It was serve yourself so I didnt deal with any staff, but the ones I saw with others seemd very friendly.
Pizza was good.. The pasta was good, the larger serving was only $2.00 more & I had plenty to share & take home. Service was good as well.
Had a wonderful party here with fantastic food. Our hostess was Crystal and she was the best. Thank you Crystal.
Pizza is excellent, but beware the sides. While they taste good, the cost to quantity ratio is way off. 12 fried mushrooms for $8-9 or 10 fried Mac cheese bites for similar seems like highway robbery compared to similar places Ive been.
Could not get seated. Had to leave. Maybe they should open the other dining room.
Fantastic Food! Great Atmosphere!Highly recommend their Thin crust Pizza.
Great staff. Great food. All around very comfortable place to take the family or have a party. They take care of there costumers
1st time visit to celebrate our Aunts 77th birthday. The party room was accessible & perfect to seat 30 people. Pizzas were fresh, thin & yummy (blanco, pepperoni, sausage, veggie with green & red peppers, mushrooms) & 3 big salads plus soft drinks, lemonade & adult beverages. Our server was attentive, friendly & helpful! Before leaving, I stopped at their bathrooms, which were updated & clean.My hubby told me on the way home how much he liked the pizzas & couldnt wait to try other menu items. We will def be back!!
Pizza was good!!!! Pizza was amazing and the serve we had Amanda I believe was her name was just the greatest! Great feel and vibe to this restaurant as well.
I have been a Cemenos customer since back in 83 when they were in Marycrest Shopping Center under a different name. They never changed the recipe. Simply the best pie on the west side. Expensive, sure, but the best.
Were from Florida so we went to Cemenos to try a Chicago style pizza. Yummy! Best pizza weve had in a long time. Very good service, too. Well be back!
Pizza was delicious, one of my new favorites near Chicago.. nice employees and great owners. Highly recommend trying them out..
First time at Cemenos. The occasion was celebration of my wedding. Staff and food superb. Will continue to patronize them.
I was a tad disappointed.My order was messed up and I had to return to the restaurant after Id left. The good thing was they fixed things free of charge. I found their prices a tad high but the service is second to none!
Excellent pizza and salads. Friendly staff. Well organized.
The pizza and breadsticks were delicious and the staff was attentive. I would and have recommended Cemenos to my friends and family....I will return many more times.
I ordered a large thin crust Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza on 6/11/21. The pizza was so old/stale that it was stuck to the box.I called immediately to report the pizza wasn’t satisfactory. They took my name and gave me a credit.I reordered the replacement pizza on 6/20/21. When my son arrived he was charged for the replacement pizza.The person who took the order understood it was to replace the stale pizza that was stuck to the box.I had to call them to have the charge reversed.How can they screw-up with the order again and again?I’M DONE ORDERING FROM CEMENO’S! 😠😡🤬
We love comming for dinner. The pizza is always consistand and flaverfull!!
Went to Cemenos for a baby shower. Excellent food.
Great food even better service. Lots of awesome waitresses.
Pizza, salad, wings, game room, very busy for lunch. Even though we called a day before and it was recommend we come in for lunch. When we arrived at 1230 all the tables were reserved for a party at 1430.. and the tables were marked reservedat 1230.. We had to wait, we had to track down a server which sat our group of 12 at a reserved seat, then we were told to be out before 2:30. They served our pizza at 1345 (1:45)NO JOKE!😡As a traveler passing through with a large family and calling the day prior this was not a good experience. We were able to take plenty of photos from my sons birthday.
Doesnt have NFL Sunday ticket. Thats why I came here. Very disappointed ☹️
I usually go to Cemenos for the pizza. The sauce is sweet and the crust is thin.
I know Will County has some awesome pizza places but Cemenos won thin crust of the year in 2020 and I can see why, it was the best thin crust Ive ever had hands down! I had many choices but Im so glad I picked here, the service in the bar area was perfect! Winner, winner pizza dinner! Ill be back! Im a joliet native back from Tulsa, OK for a 100th birthday. Thanks Cemenos The Pacins
Was seated where it was very cold. Food and service was great but ladies restroom needed attention.
This was the perfect setting for a long-overdue family gathering. Weve always enjoyed a party room at Cemenos, and this time was no exception. The food is fantastic, and the people are even better!
The crust EXELLENT! The sauce AWESOME! BEST Pizza that Ive had in awhile❤
Not sure what we wanted to eat so we ordered a pizza. The pizza with the thick crust was really good.
We got takeout and our pizza was great!
Food and service is always wonderful! Andrea is always kind, she is an asset to Cemenos! Always look forward to seeing her!
Always great. Get their yummy pizzas alot. Best pizza around!!!!
Had my sons 25th birthday party here. The server was great. Actually all the staff that we encountered was great. I didnt realized until 30 minutes after I left that I had left my purse on the back of the chair. I was so happy they had it when I called. I went and picked it up an all my cash was still in there. Bravo for having a crew with integrity and honesty. I was so relieved! Looking forward to our next visit to Cemenos.
Its okay, I love the claw machines. I love that you get toys. The only thing I dont like is the cheese on the pizza rips off too easily
The food is good 👍 Love their large size portions and their onion rings are so delicious
Way overpriced and not even good. No redeeming qualities. Cheap Little Ceasars has better pizzas.
Had a large party that was handled beautifully. Pizza was excellent and drink were super reasonable. Great atmosphere and lots of fun. Thank you!
Good pizza with large selection of food and beverages. Grest staff too
Horrible meal! Salad was soggy and old lettuce. Pizza was soggy and completely non-edible. Service was pathetic. Waste of money! Used to like cemenos. Will never eat there again!
Appetizers were good. Pizza good & service was good 👍
Great thin crust pizza! Love that it’s a family owned place. Don’t see too many of those around anymore. Will definitely be back for more 🍕!
Always great food and amazing servers
No specific directions on curb side service. Have to call them back when you get there. Pizza is okay sauce on the sweet side. Could use more cheese.
Food was great, customer service was awesome. Crystal was our waitress she went above and beyond... will definitely be back next time Im in the area...
Great restaurant, great staff and especially great pizza, being originally from Chicago Im a rather picky pizza eater so it was nice to find a great restaurant with the food that I love. I highly recommend the Italian beef and giardiniera and their Chicago style deep dish.
Placed order for pizza snd salad for team at styles of brass on essington rd Specifically asked for silverware and plates. This is the 3rd time ordering and no utensils provided after requests. Called to ask what could be done since we are unable to eat salad with no utensils. We will not be patronizing this business again!!! Very disappointed since we order frequently since it’s right down the street!!!
Good pizza and friendly staff
Horrible, the food wasnt even cooked thoroughly. The cheese on the pizza, you couldnt chew, only 5 small pieces of meat on a medium pizza. and very greasy. Our chicken was cooked to fast as well, I will never ever eat there again.
Pizza was extremely salty and the staff does not wear masks. A lot of other great places to support instead of this one. Will never go back
Decent pizza, but the thick crust is a bit too doughy for my personal tastes, with not enough toppings to even out the taste.
Food was stellar! Best gluten free pizza ever!
Thanks for the food poisoning! Also no one was wearing masks.. Seems like they dont take food safety or covid very seriously. Avoid this place.
Cole works at this restaurant, awesome guy.
It is great and enjoyable atmosphere and foods too
Great pizza and service was very good.
Gluten free crust is really good! And potato skins!
Pizza was ok. The sandwiches were incredible. Mac n cheese bites and soup were above average. Cant wait to eat here again.
We had two thin crust veggie pies and I was very impressed. The crust in fantastic and burnt around the edges. The sauce had a nice tang and the veggies were plentiful. The cheese was perfect. The pies were slightly oily but not to an extreme. I never post reviews outside the city but I have been thinking about this pizza all week and craving it.
Been ordering here for about 12 years until today. CHECH YOUR RECIEPTS! They introduced a new system so they say. I was over charged and the manager didnt ever take my call. They wont miss my business!!! Just more of a warning to new customers!!
This place does really have great pizza. Friendly staff, cold drink and plenty of room for a larger family, like mine. The nachos and appetizers are always really good. Love this place and there is always plenty of parking.
Just plain and simple. It is the thin crust of the southwest suburbs.
Very cool place, nice atmosphere, and the pizza was amazing!!!
I love that pizza restaurant. Ive been there when I was a baby.
Best pizza in town💖
Curbside is all that!!! Flew in from Nevada for business and was looking for authentic Chicago style eats. I got the Italian Beef Sandwuch and my Hubby got a Calpine. We killed it. Almost ate the wrappings. They will be my go to whenever I am in Chicago and the service with wait time was on point. Thx, for the great meal. Stay safe out there.
Food here is great! Prices are fair & portions are large! The staff is AMAZING!! We had the reuben, cuban & chicken parm sandwiches. Skip the fries & enjoy the chips! The cuban is by far my favorite!
Had one unhappy experience. They immediately addressed and credited our account. Ordering again tonight. So friendly and accommodating! Love this place, love there service, appreciate the management and the way the handled our slight dissatisfaction. They are the best! Thank you cemenos family!!
Antipasto salad, pizza and calzone. A🍸cocktail special to.!

I loved the fact that we had our own private room. We are a family of 20 and that helps when eating out
Love it love it love it! In laws from Virginia wanted Chicago pizza and were impressed with the weight and taste.
We attended a funeral in the afternoon and the followup meal was here. I had not been here in years, and so there were many changes in the layout. Its nice here with rooms for groups to dine together. Moveable doors separate the rooms for enlargement of space for groups. Service was good and the food very good.
Not the greatest maybe because I went in later at night? My meatball sub was bland and the meatballs were cold a bit pricey too for 3 meatballs. On the whole Ill be skipping this place in the future. Would not recommend.
Picked up 2 take and bake pizzas! Easy to follow instructions and they come out fantastic!!!
Love it! Best pizza around. YOU need to get some!
Best pizza and salad!
I was excited about trying this place, however it was a big disappointment. Food is mediocre and apparently masks are optional
Moved from Cicero to Joliet. Needed a new pizza place. Luckily we discovered Cememos. Ordered the Cemenos special. Awesome. Got the thin crust. Toppings were in large portions. Crust was flaky and buttery. This is our new pizza joint. The wait staff are so much fun! We will be back at our next visit!
Indeed the absolute best pizza Ive ever had! We had the deep dish pizza and some pasta dishes. All of it was excellent and the staff was wonderful as well! If Im ever back in the area I will definitely return!!!
Had a party of over 30 last weekend, pizzas were delivered hot and on time. Crust, sauce and cheese were very good, really impressed with the tasty fresh salads and homemade Italian dressing. Staff was courteous and responsive, prices were modest the the Chicago suburbs. BTW, they have games for kids at the end of one of the rooms. I love the thin crust pizza! They also have fantastic pasta and sandwiches. Eat in the Bar for lunch and ask for the specials. Karen is a fantastic Bartender and server. They also have interactive games you can play and slots.
Great atmosphere. Their bar is great to. 👍
Great pizza, real nice employees, order ahead and pick up curbside or you can go in order and waite in your car
