Gelsosomo’s Pizzeria and Pub

This is a very nice place. We had appetizers, soup and 3 pizzas. A seven layer cheese, sausage and a combo 2 which all were good. I really like the sauce that’s a little on the sweet side. The tortilla soup was really good as well. I recommend trying it! The service was also really good. Our waiter came by often and took the time to explain the menu and drink options. I also liked that there were many tvs around so that we could watch the football playoff game.

Unbelievable pizza. Top 5 pizza in the suburbs for sure!!! Service was a little slow because there was a holiday party there but we met the owner, incredibly nice, and our food was hot and delicious. Mozzarella sticks and a must order! Ton of food for the price. Must go!

Update:
I left a review after being disappointed with Gelsosomo’s. My complaint was that I received a regular gluten pizza after having ordered gluten free. But I was pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from the manager at Gelsosomo’s today. Lisa read my review and called me to discuss the matter. Wow! After having talked to her personally, I am confident that the incident was due to an unfortunate oversight and that this will not happen again. Furthermore, she shared her background in food safety as well as the owner’s backgrounds which are all impressive. Our family also own a business in the food industry and I can tell you that I was impressed. We do love Gelsosomo’s! And I’m so relieved that it is still an option for us.

Pizza quality on a par with Domino’s.
Salad was dry as if it had sat since being prepared early that morning.
Service was not acceptable. We asked for water three times, once at our table and twice when I tracked down our waiter. He promised it would be coming soon. The fourth time I found him he was chatting with the cashier up front and our water was sitting on a tray in the back. This took over 30 minutes. Two of our party had asked for no ice — which of course didn’t show up.
There was a very noisy group party in the next room, so it was hard to hear conversation at out table.

NEW REVIEW
After talking to the owner ED, he said he is there on Friday and Saturday. We were there around 5:15 on 11/​28/​2015. You said we share a drink. I asked for you…
My wife & I brought another couple out for some pizza, our waiter was Brandon he was a GREAT young man. We ordered 2 pizzas 1– garlic-​green pepper-​onion-​Pepperoni, 1 BBQ pizza and a Combo platter onion rings double poopers. After a wait a lady manager came out to say that one pizza was screwed up, she said it be 5 minutes that lead to ²⁵⁄₃₀ later and when the pizzas came out they were cold… and the garlic-​green pepper-​onion-​Pepperoni pizza was so doughy in the middle of the pizza. the BBQ pizza sauce you can lick the sauce so COLD, The manager never came back to see how they were. I did not make a issue. we brought home over ¾ of both pizzas
Ed Fool me once, Fool me twice, I am the Fool.
Money is tight in my family and with tip our tab was over $ 100.00
My last money, NO One cared that is was in management Enjoy my $ 100.00
Merry Christmas
Frozen Pizza taste better as long as it hot…
Do you like COLD FOOD AND Care LESS management is my?

Gelsosomo’s pizza is delicious! The crust is thin and the sauce is really tasty. Love their meatballs too. I usually order the Italian Antipasto salad. The Italian Beef sandwich is delicious too. I wish they had healthier selections as well, especially with their salad choices. Most restaurants now have some amazing salads, and theirs are just ok. There is a lot of street parking so finding a space is rarely an issue.

A great family friendly restaurant! Loved the pizza and spaghetti. I even went back to bring more family a second time.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the pizza… the one with hot peppers was excellent. Service was good and owner kept checking on tables which I thought was nice.

Very good pan pizza. Almost as good as our favorite places (Palermo’s, Roots, Chesdan’s). Service was great. We mentioned to our waitress that it was our first time there and she welcomed us with enthusiasm. We also had the owners stop by to say hello and welcome us.
We will definitely be back to this place!

Very disappointing the service quality this establishment offers… We had food delivered to my Son’s 2 yr old Outdoor Birthday party for 40 ppl and we got delivered was 3 pizza’s smashed. All the toppings stuck on the roof of the boxes. Along with the meatballs leaking throughout. My wife& I were embarrassed trying to feed a hungry group. I even was told from the delivery driver I would receive a phone call from a manager in which I was the person putting in the effort… I spoke with 2 managers and the promised me something would be done to rectify this situation but still no answers or apology.

Trip #2– much better. It was really humid and stuffy in there and the waitress promptly fixed it. Our food was tasty– the works pizza is highly recommended. Salad was a salad, only big complaint was that there was a pile of pasta in the floor when we came in. It sat there for awhile before it got cleaned up. There were two employees with a calculator and their tips at the table next to it. I’ve worked food service and I know it was a shift change but little things matter. Lisa, the manager, came by to check on us and was very friendly.
Overall, pizza was good if you like dense cheese and sweeter sauce.
Service was average.
The tap has some local flair and the margarita was decent.
I’ll be back.

Pizza is fantastic!!! Absolutely loved the thin crust and lots of cheese on top! A little greasy, but hey that’s how pizza is supposed to be.
We went on a Friday night and surprisingly we were seated right away. The place looked super busy so I was expecting to wait. Our waitress was super nice and patient with us (we were not sure what we wanted).
Nice location in downtown lemont with lots of street parking. I will definitely be coming here again (and bringing the boyfriend next time)!

Best pizza in Lemont by far. Great staff, a welcome addition to our community.
With the pizza being so good, I haven’t tried other offerings from the menu.

Everything about Gelosomos is first rate;
old downtown Lemont location-​check,
first-​rate friendly service from all staff-​check,
decent craft beer selection-​check,
excellent app’s and pizza– all high quality-​check,
involved caring owners who stop by each table to say hello-​check.
Can’t say enough good things about this outstanding pizza joint.
We’ll be back.

Today me and some of my photographer friends met at the pizzeria and had dinner and worked on some photography things together. Gelsosomo’s was so accommodating and a great place to meet! The food was great and the whole staff was amazing! Thanks so much!

I have been looking for a new pizza restaurant around the Homer Glen/​Lemont area and boy did I find it today!
The food was outstanding– we had fried pickles, cheese raviolis, breadsticks and pizza.
The service was great and all the servers were very pleasant. Even the owner even came by the table to check on how things were going.
I am not very big on adding Unilocal reviews, but I thought this may be helpful to people looking for a new taste in the area. I would highly suggest checking out this great spot!

Delicious pizza. The crust is awesome and almost delicate and buttery. The sauce, not sweet or super tangy, just right. The apps were great (wings/​toasted rav/​zucchini and shrooms), the wings were the standout, but the ravioli was filled with a nice, rich ricotta which were very good as well. The ranch dressing is awesome here.
Service was impressive with our party of 100 this past weekend. The waiters were taking drink orders and they were super efficient and accommodating. I’m excited to go back.

Great pie, love the crust and sauce

I will be back to try other items

Welcome to Lemont! I have never had this pizza before and i am now a fan. The crust is killer on the thin.
I hope people go in enough to keep it around. We need more places like this around.

We were excited to learn that Gelsosomo’s would open an establishment in Lemont — we have a few great pizza choices in the area but we’re always looking for something new and interesting.
Much of the décor from «The Place» is still there — nice bar area with high-​top seating and table seating in the dining room and expansive party room behind that. We visited on a weeknight and the place was hopping with activity (good sign!)
Peg, the owner came around to all the tables to introduce herself and assure us that our experience was her first priority — very nice touch! She also came around again after we finished to make sure we were happy — and we were!
The family salad was a great kick off — crisp lettuce, tomato and shredded carrots — nothing fancy but served ice cold and topped with a delicious red wine vinaigrette. We ordered a medium thin crust pizza with half sausage and half veggie. I really like the flakiness and consistency of the crust. The sauce is slightly sweet and the cheese is gooey and full of flavor, as were the toppings. I was impressed! We were also happy to know they deliver — we’ll be back again very soon to try their pan pizza.
