Skip this location. By far the worst one they’ve got. They sent me ranch with cheese curds and the ranch was burnt and coagulated. Couldn’t even eat it. The girl taking orders shouldn’t be, I’ll just say that much without being rude. C’MON GUYS get it together! Here’s the cooked, clumpy ranch we got

We went for lunch and ordered the extra thin crust pizza. Came out perfect. Crust was nice and crunchy and toppings were perfect. Not to many places can get a well done pizza correct but they got it just right. Service was excellent. We have been here before and will certainly be back. If you’re looking for a great atmosphere and great food this place is for you . The nacho fries are great too.

Heck yeah, Salerno’s is back baby! My favorite Chicago pie…place had gone downhill but the new management has saved this place. WELL DONE!!!

can’t understand how this place is only 4 stars—Liz and Ramon made our first experience here absolutely top-notch. We had an appetizer, a custom pizza, and a few rounds of drinks, and everything was delicious. Not a single note. They accommodated all of our (very specific!) pizza customizations with a smile, and the service felt genuinely welcoming. This spot deserves more love—can’t wait to come back!

Love Salernos pizza but the experience we had last night was terrible. They were not that crowded but must have been understaffed. We sat at the bar thinking it might be quicker as we had theater tickets. Took almost 10 minutes for bartender to take our order. Did not order pizza as we know it takes longer. Ordered a sandwich and a pasta dish. We were just about ready to cancel our food order after waiting almost 45 minutes when my husband’s sandwich arrived and it was not the sandwich he ordered. Was told my pasta would be right out. We requested the check at this time as well. My pasta came 5 minutes later, still no check. I had a couple bites of my dinner, got the check and we had to leave to get to the theater. Still arrived late to the theater, did not have time for more than two/three bites of food. Other couple at the bar and a man at a table behind also canceled food orders because the wait was so long. Very disappointing to spend money on a dinner I didn’t get to eat and still missed the beginning of the theater performance.

They’re really turned this place around! Our pizzas were cooked perfectly and ready on time! Piping hot and delicious!

Went for minestrone soup on the menu they were out. Said I would have the tortellini, so salty could not eat. Bartender missing for some time finally brought my salad. The “yes grilled chicken ” was cold and resembled Tyson chopped and cold out of a bag.
The bartender took 2.50 off my meal (1/2 the soup)
No wonder there was two other people there.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Worst experience I’ve ever had at a Salerno’s. The front door had a handle that was a cabinet pull. You could barely open the door. Then the A/C was broken and nobody said anything about it. It was over 80 degrees inside.
The entire wait staff were all about 20 years old.
I ordered a margarita and 2 kiddie cocktails from the 20 year old bartender and he clearly didn’t know what Shirley Temples or Kiddie Cocktails were so he ignored me.
I then reminded him a second time about the Kiddie cocktails and was ignored a second time.
After reminding him a 3rd time, a waitress had to tell the bartender how to make them.
Then we ordered the calamari dish that was absolutely disgusting . It was covered a the lowest grade balsamic vinegar that you can imagine and not a drop of olive oil. I could not even force myself to eat it.
The pizza that I ordered was the most bland and gross pizza I’ve ever had. I asked for a pizza with mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. The mushrooms were the size of a pinhead. The sauce was so bland and flavorless. So disappointing.
And that waitress said she was sorry about the experience and didn’t offer a credit or a dessert. Just said sorry and walked away when we explained the experience. She was more focused on the conversation with the other 20 year old staff members at the bar.
I can’t say I’ve ever had a worst experience at any restaurant in my lifetime of 58 years.
After going to the original Salerno’s restaurant on Grand and Racine and always having a wonderful experience, this experience at the Western Springs location was shocking to say the least.

Great food and Service! Our server Grace took care of us and offered great recommendations. Loved the Salernos special and Pulled pork nachos!

Bar setting with mostly pub tables and large booths. Excellent service. Pizza served hot and on a sturdier pedestal than most places. Able to do half toppings. Several beers on tap. Open late. Easy to get a table on a Saturday night.
