Massimo's Backside - Niles

The saving grace for Massimo's was the wait staff. In regards to the food we ordered two pizzas one thin crust, one traditional and bread sticks. Breads sticks were ok all in all but the pizza's were not very good at all, extremely floury. I had to dust off ever slice or i felt as if i had a layer of paste on the bottom, even the thin crust. After eating here i felt sick the rest of the night. Only good thing was our waitress she was very attentive and made sure our glasses were never empty. At the end of the day there are to many high quality pizza places within a 20 mile ratios to go eat poor quality food and get sick. Differently won't be returning to this establishment, leaves way to much to be desired.

I was in Niles at the SOS and thought I would get lunch after. I didn 't want to wait for a pizza to cook so I ordered a baked sub. There was nothing baked about the sub. I watched as the person who cooked my food literally heated almost everything up in the microwave. Even the breadsticks they gave me were heated up in the microwave. Never okay to microwave food at a restaurant. The sun bread was slightly toasted then microwaved, the cheese was melted in the microwave, the meat was heated in the microwave. If I wanted microwaved leftovers I would stay home. Not going to return. Not giving one star because I didn 't have the pizza, but don 't order the subs.

Massimo 's is now Front Street Pizza Pub and moved to a building three blocks north just north of the Wonderland Cinema. I ordered a take out pizza yesterday (2/25/2017) small thin crust with sausage, mushrooms and black olives. I was shocked by the lousy crust. it tasked like cooked paper. It 's unfortunate since Massimo 's in my opinion had the best pizza in Niles. I 'm not sure if ownership changed with the new location and name but you can 't serve pizza with crust like this. the other ingredients were similar to how I remember.

Tried it once a year ago. Service was poor as was the quality of the pizza. Too much employee focus on the bar side of the resturant. Watched several take out customers experience poor customer service. There are too many options near by to go back.

I hate knocking anyone's business but this place is lacking in a few area. We ordered a 16 Deluxe with a House salad. The salad was good and priced about right. As for the pizza I have to rate it very low on the scale. When I took my first bite I truly thought I was biting into a cardboard disc that they had forgotten to remove before putting in the box.... Surprise!!! It was the crust. This was way over cooked and was not worth eating. As for the price... even if the crust was cook right I can honestly say I've have better pizza for half the price. Management needs to order a pizza outside of the business just to see what their employees are putting out
