Pizza Villa

We ordered ahead to save time, even though we were eating here. Needn't have bothered; still waited for the food preparation. Oh well.... Very good food. Haven't dined-in here since pre-pandemic. The 5-cheese lasagna was delicious. Taco salad had lots of olives i.l.o. the spurned jalapeños. It was "fine" according to my dinner companion. She loved the breaded/fried mushrooms appetizer. The cinnamon nuggets were tasty, but needed more cinnamon/sugar. Basically fried bread pieces (but again, tasty). I'll augment the plentiful leftover pieces when we eat them back home. Didn't try the pizza this time. All in all, a pleasant experience with an attentive server and appetizing comestibles. We'll be back when driving by Dekalb again in the future. This is much better than the standard fare at the tollway oasis outside of town.

The food was underwhelming. The highlight was probably the beer nuggets, but I don't think I'd order them again. I tried the Chicken Ceasar Salad, which was a pile of iceberg lettuce with what appeared to be some reheated, prepackaged chicken cubes. The dressing seemed to be oil based instead of a cream base. So, don't get the salad if you're expecting anything similar to a Ceasar Salad. Finally, the pizza was pretty much flavorless. Really, the highlight was leaving and getting to go home and eat something else.
