Grotto Pizza Edwardsville

First time visiting this establishment, and from the moment I was greeted, the service and food were amazing. The server greeted and sat us and was the most pleasant and inviting lady I have had to serve me in a while. The first view of the menu and i was taken aback by the fact that they served nachos made with chopped chicken. Well, being that I don't eat red meat, I had to try them and was blown away at the portion size as well as the platter itself. Delicious and fairly priced, it doesn't even begin to describe how much I enjoyed them. On to the entrée I decided to go for the fettuccine with alfredo and grilled chicken. So they make their own homemade alfredo sauce, almost unheard of in the commercial food industry these days. The meal was truly amazing, tasted fresh, and didn't have that funky prepackaged after taste. Absolutely delightful. My wife had the ziti and red sauce with mushrooms, looked and tasted delicious she had no complaints. I tried it, and it was quite superb, not soggy or undercooked the right amount of bite and texture. After the meal was done, we received the bill and thought it would be higher than my hairline, it wasn't. It was well below what a meal that delicious should have been. Fair price, good service a definite for those who want to enjoy a great meal and not feel the wallet get thinner just by looking at the menu. Will be coming back soon.

Growing up in that area, I must say there is no pizza like it!! it’s a sweeter sauce and a different kind of crust than I can get down in the Philly suburbs and we have a ton of excellent pizza places here.. I still have family in the area and anytime I get an opportunity pop in for some pizza I do. Of course, I love the traditional crust, but I must say the cauliflower crust is absolutely amazing and a healthier option for me. Pizza is priced reasonably and never disappoints. In addition, they have many more other options that are just as tasty. Takes me back to my childhood . My first date ever 30 years ago with my husband was at the grotto in Harveys Lake so that will always hold a special place to me. Since then you’ve opened many additional locations.
