Martino’s Italian Cuisine & Pizzeria

Ok we moved our house whole new area to Discover. First this is not gourmet THIS IS TRUE HOME COOKING , amazing and the prices are from the 1990’s , Mom is in the back room cooking the daughter runs tHe front of the house, meal Marsala was Stunning . Chicken Soup must have cooked for 8 hours it was so deep and rich, we will be a new regular and famous for Killer Thin pizza and yes RIBS, what a relief to the credit card too

We were looking for a place after a memorial service and this place was perfect for us. We ended up having the place to ourselves for 20 people around 9:30pm. They allowed us to move the tables so their deaf customers could communicate freely with each other.

The pizzas, appetizers and drinks were top notch. We couldn't thank the 2 ladies enough for their good service and food.

It was deeply appreciated.

ROSE AND CARMELA are amazing. I even took a pizza home we didn't need because Rose was on pizza that day
The baked oysters were amazing . The soda de mare too , I highly recommend this Italian restaurant we used to live on the area and ate their and order all the time , we drove 45 min to go there and it was worth every minute, they treat u like family
Thank you see u soon

UPDATE 2024: Now that’s a full half carafe of Chianti!

UPDATE 10/2023: OMG Rose from Sicily made the pumpkin soup! Elegant and nuanced. Light, creamy, and with a soupçon of home grown organic oregano. What is happening to my life!!!!
UPDATE: Homemade giardinara?!!! Fresh and heavenly.
UPDATE: I tasted oregano for the very first time here. I’m talking about authentic intense garden oregano. The kind of oregano that just transports you. Fresh grown. Just minced. Breathtaking.

Stunningly delicious and satisfying. Crostini from a dream, topped with thick hardy mozzarella and garden fresh basil. Authentic and home made. Learn Italian here.

What a beautiful experience in this old style Italian Restaurant. We were greated by the owner, she also was our server since we were there in the middle of shifts change I guess she was the only ones in the restaurant, she was really kind and helpful a the end of our meal we also met the daughter and we discovered than that was a family business with one daughter in the kitchen one in the front and the Mom at the head of everything. What a nice family atmosphere in this place and what really surprised me was the incredible cleaning in all the restaurant. Everything was just clean at the perfection from the ceiling fan to the restroom and this is really hard to find in the restaurant. We were just visiting Chicago but I'm sure if we were locals we want dining there once a week at least.

absolutely wonderful family place. their food never disappoints and is always extraordinary! the marinara is the best i’ve ever had. the service is wonderful, and the staff is so sweet! they make you feel like family here, and are very helpful when trying to decide what to order! the chicken marsala is FABULOUS. the chicken parm is super fresh and juicy, and the spinach chicken is refreshing and light! i’m my family and i highly recommend Martinos!

MARTINOS is a timeless pizza restaurant with loads of charm! Owned by Italians from Sicily since 1964 I believe. it is thoroughly looked after and continues to make delicious pizzas and all sorts of Italian dishes. Well priced too.

I love this place. The food is delicious. The service was great, and the atmosphere was awesome. You feel like you're in Italy 🇮🇹 they play Italian music 🎶 🎵 I don't understand it, but beautiful. My kids and I went to celebrate the b'day of our beloved father, fiance who passed away, and he would have loved this place. I'm so glad we went there and had a great time. The best part of this is that I live 10 minutes from them. Thanks 👍🏽

Hadn't been there in a while, but it was as good as I remember. It's always a good meal.

The best fried chicken around!! The Thursday special, 16 pieces to go is great. And the pizza is always good!

This is a wonderful restaurant, one where my family has eaten for decades. Delicious.

2nd best pizza I've ever had!!!! So glad to find a great pizza spot by my new apartment. The first two places we tried sucked but this place is phenomenal.

I was once a regular at a place sorta close that didn't survive the lockdown. I will miss it...only a little.
Your place is' hands down' better!

This is the neighborhood Pizza restaurant where my wife grew up. It is still some of the best pizza you will ever eat. Three generations of our family have dined here. We even drove from Seattle to eat here.

UPDATE 4/2023:
I had the Sausage Calzone today and it was amazing. The sausage, sauce, and crust were perfect.
ORIGINAL:
I had a thin crust sausage pizza. Everything about the pizza was excellent. One of my favorites on the Northwest Side.
The crust was perfect, thin and crispy. The sauce has excellent flavor, just the right amount of sweetness and spices. The sausage is top notch.
The people are always friendly and helpful.
They have plenty of tables and it's clean and comfortable inside. It appears they have a full bar for drinks.
I didn't see any outside seating, but it looks like they have enough space along the side of the restaurant.

I will continue to support the restaurant.

Bicycling: It's located on Peterson which is a busy street. But, it's also right off a residential street which should be comfortable to ride. I did pay attention if there were any bike racks.

No frills or gimmicks, just delicious food and friendly staff.

After having this pizza at a friends party I couldn’t stop thinking about the taste I had to ask where it was from.. it’s a favorite in my household

Best Italian food for over 50 years . My old neighboorhood. Good prices and service .Do not miss this hidden independent treasure. Baked clams . Fettuccini lasagna fish meat and simple

Great restaurant! My family and I have been coming here for 2+ decades (at least). The pizza is perfection for thin crust. The rest of the menu is amazing and consistent as well. We've always been treated warmly by the owner and staff. If you're in the area, and especially looking for pizza, do stop by!

Best pizza I’ve had in Chicago! I had the thin crust veggie pizza… it’s absolutely delicious!
