Gia Mia - Downers Grove

“First time here and I'll be coming back regularly The meatballs with polenta are delicious and had the Italian salad it was a great choice”

“What a lovely little Italian inspired pizzeria. You cannot go wrong with wood- fired pies, at least I have not so far. We ordered the Stinger, and it was delicious, savory, sweet, fluffy with an outer crust. We were also able to try some of their classic Caesar, spot on, nothing out of the ordinary there. The calamari is delicious, not chewy, cooked perfectly and crispy on the outside. Also, the Paccheri Vodka was delightful, packed with the right amount of flavor and its sausages gave it a little extra salty kick. The interior was nice and clean, modern, and decent in size, a respectable number of tables and the staff was nice as well and fast. The parking is not the best. I only assume on busy days since this is such a nice restaurant there would be a larger lot, but it is a little minimal, but we did find parking with just a little walk to consider. If I am ever in the area I would not mind coming back and enjoying the other options here. But this place did not disappoint, so why not give it a shot.”

“Visited this restaurant for the first time on a weekend. Since we had a reservation, we were seated quickly. We started with the ricotta and honeycomb, but the bread served with it was slightly burnt, which left a strange aftertaste. For the main course, we tried the pear and caramelized onion pizza. On the server’s recommendation, we went with their wood-fired pizza, which they are known for—it was good. The service was quick, and the restaurant has a nice ambience. We had some leftover pizza, and it even tasted good the next day. Our server also mentioned that pizzas are half off on Mondays. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’d stop by again to try some of their other pizza options.”

“Been here a few times now. The gluten-free options are pasta (add$4 as of this post) or a few other options. Not too much and no gluten-free bread, but have pasta and pizzas gluten-free. Food is good but for the prices should be way more then what it is. The service is very slow. Every time I have come its very empty in customer's and slow with service and food, so I dont understand the issue. Bathrooms are always clean, with a baby changing table and phone holder. Wish they had more gluten-free options that are clearly labeled on the menu as well as gluten-free bread since most of the dishes come with sauces. Update: Still slower then ever with service. Got food but wasn't offered any parmesean cheese or anything. Got up and got our own. I still don't understand offering gluten-free pasta with delicious sauce and lots of it and no gluten-free bread!? If the family didn't like it for the non - gluten-free options and location, I would not be back”

“I usually don’t leave reviews about food, but GIA MIA’s pizza quality has become ridiculous. If you think five slices of pepperoni are worth a $20 pizza, I’m speechless. Either lower the prices or put the proper amount of toppings on the pizza like you’re supposed to.”
