Capri Pizza Parlor

Probably should have tried the hoagies since that is what they are known for but other then that the food we had was act sully really good. I got the ¹⁄₃ lb burger on Texas toast and it was really good. Also the fries and chicken nuggets are another great choice there. Although they come from a package they are good quality nuggets and fries. It is a little run down and old and the staff is in and out of the kitchen and front counter sparingly but the food comes out in a surprisingly quick manner. All in all it is a nice quaint little place and worth the stop if you are passing through and looking for a bite to eat!

The place seemed like any small town business. They are all the same, kitsch on the walls, simple but efficient seating, lots of long benches surrounding equally long tables with color choices that you are never quite sure are dated from use and fading or if someone at sometime made a conscious choice and picked those colors.
Well, we did not try the hoagies, and i really feel we should have, but we ordered a pizza and some cheese sticks. The crust on the pizza was good, the sauce tasted like sweet tomato sauce from a can, and the cheese was used quite sparingly, but the selection of ingredients is what really stuck out to me.
Chicken? «Not for the pizza.»
Tomatoes? «Nope.»
What do you have? «Pepperoni, sausage, fresh green pepper, banana peppers, red peppers jalepeno peppers… (It seemed like there were a lot of pepper)…»
What kinds of salads do you have, do you have a caesar salad? «We have lettuce that we put into a cheeseburger container.» (Might I add that the lettuce in a cheeseburger container was $ 4.
It was nice going here and eating across the street at the mothers day shrine with the fam, but if we ever go here again, we will probably opt for the hoagies.

Love this place. My great aunt and uncle started this restaurant and also owned the drive-​in there. My dad and I will drive the two hours from wheeling to buy a ridiculous amount of food. The pizza and hoagies are amazing, and you can’t find them anywhere but there.

Best Steak and Cheese hoagie I’ve ever had! It’s always one of my first stops when I come to town. The consistency has gone down a bit over the years. But it’s still worth it and the best!
