Wooden Paddle in Lemont was such a great experience! The espresso martini was the standout—perfectly balanced and topped with freshly grated Parmesan, which sounds unexpected but was absolutely delicious and elevated the whole drink. The customer service was also fantastic. I didn’t catch our waitress’s name, but she was blonde and gave excellent recommendations that we ended up loving. You could tell she really knew the menu and cared about our experience. The noise level was moderate, but honestly the music and overall vibe were so good that it just added to the energy of the place. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

The pizza is very delicious and clearly made with quality ingredients. The atmosphere inside is really nice and welcoming. During the winter, it’s especially pleasant to stop by and enjoy a warm cup of tea. A great place to relax and enjoy good food. Highly recommended!

Our server was so sweet and kind. The food was fantastic!
That specific evening we had just ordered a couple of appetizers to share. They did not disappoint. We will definitely have to come back to try some more of the menu! We had the fried meatballs, the goat cheese arronchini, and the ricotta and honeycomb. And espresso martini.

Nice little pizza spot! Nothing fancy, easy going with friendly service. Caesar salad was pretty basic. Also tried the mushroom pizza and plain cheese pizza. Mushroom pizza left a little more to be desired, perhaps if the mushrooms were dehydrated a little the pizza wouldn’t be so soggy. The Cheese pizza was fantastic great sauce and flavor.

We hired The Wooden Paddle to cater our wedding, and I am blown away at their amazing service! Their staff was wonderful, very attentive, kind, and personable. The bartenders brought a fun vibe which was awesome for us, coming from a background in food service ourselves. The event captain for the evening was SO helpful, her communication was outstanding, and if there were any problems I was blissfully unaware of them lol. I got lots of compliments on the food, from the appetizers to the late night snacks! My husband LOVES the Buzzkill pizza, It was all so delicious! They let my guests take home any leftovers they wanted and even left a pizza un-sliced for us to cut for pictures!
We always joked around that we would just order pizza at a park for our wedding, and the Wooden Paddle was a big part in making our goofy love joke into a romantic dream come true! Thankyou so much!!
***The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star was because my point of contact was let go, and I wasn’t made aware until 2 days before my wedding. I contacted them because I didnt hear back from them after I sent over all my final details. Turns out I had sent all the information over to an email that was no longer active! Had they made clients aware of the change in staff, it could have saved me and possibly a few others a panic attack… but at the end of the event everything went very smooth, and I’d still pick them again if we had to do it all over!

I’m obsessed with the place. The pizza is AMAZING and so yummy. The staff is incredibly sweet and very attentive. I would recommend this spot to anyone who loves pizza. This is where I’ll be eating anytime I’m in lemont from now on.

Went out on a Saturday night, very busy but overall still good service.
The cheese Arancini’s just lacked flavor, the pasta is store bought not made fresh. Maybe I should have just ordered their pizza bc the pasta is NOT good at all. The only pasta made in house is the ravioli, we ordered that.. and it was JUST ok. Do not get pasta here!

tables are bordering each other. Ate with a bunch of strangers. If you like your pizza to collapse and have all the toppings fall off, you’ll love this place. Also, the server brought us 3 cups of ranch, then charged us $2 a cup. Nothing mentioned. Poor poor service and food.

We arrived at the perfect time in between early dinner rush and late night socialization hour. We had a perfect experience with our server bringing laughter and fun to our meal! Always happy to be at Wooden Paddle for a Friday night dinner outing.

I come here at least once a year to recreate my partner’s and my first date. This time it didn’t really hit as well though.
The restaurant is very tight with little space, and the food used to taste so much better. I got the chicken parmesan and it tasted more just like fried chicken. The pizza also seems to have fallen off. Portions, as well as the water glasses—which is specific, yes—are a bit smaller than I’d prefer.
Service was really good though, very kind staff! And I appreciate them not using seed oils, according to the menu.
But although I have good memories here, I’m not too sure about it anymore.
