Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer I.

2.0 of 5 stars. I'm surprised this is as highly rated as it is. I guess it's OK for what it is; a cheap, casual place to get halfway decent Italian food. It's more like upscale fast food than a real restaurant. The...

4.0 of 5 stars. Pompei has a good solid selection of Italian food. You can get pizzas, sandwiches, pastas, soups and salads. With a menu as large as theirs, you can most likely find something for everyone. The...

Yelp.com Review - by Daniel C.

5.0 of 5 stars. I wanted to review Pompei because I just gave poor reviews to two other restaurants and I don't want to be overly negative. I am pretty fussy about my Italian food since my Mom is from the old country...

Amazing Italian -- Fast & Cheap

When i moved to Oak Park from Chicago, i was soooo happy to see there was a Pompei near us. The pizzas and pastas are truly legendary. It's an old world family business, serving family recipes, for old world prices!
