Jp's Pizza & Grill

Fabulous- eat here. If you're wondering if you should eat here, just do it. The modest exterior of this joint hides a gem. Exquisite food with a fair price. Service and food that will carry you away to a far off European Villa. If you've traveled in Europe I'm talking about real, actual small modern businesses, not tourist traps. Buuut seriously, I think this guy is just some guy who moved his business from Italy to North Evanston and I can't recommend it enough. Thouroughly enjoyed eating here- eat here!

The Meatball sandwich/panini here is fantastic. Extremely flavorful on the garlic bread. The side caesar salad was also really good and the croutons on it are top notch as well. The Minestrone soup is just okay, a little watery, but it has a decent amount of veggies in it. I struggle to understand how they stay open though. They're only open 4 hours a day for 28 hours a week and the few times I've been here, it was dead. But something must be working here.

Decided to order a delivery from this place for the first time earlier this week, and was beyond happy with the service I received. The website quoted me 45 min-1hr for a delivery time as they said they were busier than usual, nonetheless got my piping hot pizza (JP's Special, which was delicious!) within 35 minutes of ordering. Seamless online ordering, great food, highly recommend!

Great single size pizza. The sauce was surprisingly tangy, the sausage was flavorful and the crust was thin and crispy. Overall the lunch was perfect. Update 12/6/17. Pizza still awesome. Thin and crispy. Called during the lunch and no one answered the phone. Figured it was busy. Went there and place was nearly vacant and one person was handling the front end. Unfortunately, the customer care from this person was poor. No acknowledgement when I walked in.No thank you to the other customers when they left. A little attention and thanks would go along way. If the pizza wasn't so damn good, I'd never set foot in this place.

After reading the other reviews, we tried it. Food was great. This really should be the anchor for such a sad and empty town square. Although service was a bit slow for a completely empty restaurant, we found out why. There was a homeless man asking for handouts, and the owner gave him a pizza and pop. They were very nice and understanding of our rambunctious boys.

I celebrated my graduation yesterday in this excellent restaurant. Well it was a awesome evening and the place was unquestionably the reason for that fruitful event. The stuff collaborated in a lovely way, the cooking was great and my buddies were so pleased. We shall surely return for more events. Thank you very much.
