"I have always driven by this pizza location. I have been told by many friends that they have solid pizza and I need to check them out. The name is Garibaldi's in Hoffman Estates. There are two locations for Garibaldi's. The first is in Arlington Heights and the second is in Hoffman Estates. I chose to go to the Hoffman Estates location to do this review of their pizza. The moment that you walk in it has a vibe like a 50s diner. The menu has so many items on it, such as Italian beef, burgers, hotdogs, and more. They are not only known just for pizza. It was lunchtime when I arrived at the location. The lunch rush was pretty busy. Many of the people that were ordering seemed like regulars. I asked to do a slice of sausage and pepperoni to try both to give a thorough review. I waited about 10 minutes for my slices to be ready. I am not sure if they were made to order or if they were premade. I will say both the slices were huge. I first tried the sausage slice. The crust was very crunchy. The dough did not have a lot of flavor, but I did like the texture. There was a ton of cheese which was good. The sauce also had a forgettable flavor. The sausage tasted like mediocre sausage. My best evaluation would be it tasted very much like Home Run pizza. The pepperoni had better flavor, but was extremely greasy, which was to be expected. The cheese immediately sloughed off and became a pile of cheese mess. The flavor of the pepperoni pizza, like I said, was better than the sausage. I do not think I would make an effort to order from here if I lived in the area. The pizza was just average at best. I may come back to Garibaldi's and try their other items on their menu."

"This updated review is no longer valid, as the restaurant is now under new ownership as an artisan pizza shop. In my opinion, this pizza is not traditional pizza, but rather fancy flatbread creations made with low acid sauce, fresh mozzarella, and 00 flour. It is an authentic Neapolitan-style slice that is slowly disappearing in New York City. There are different types of New York pizza, such as Neapolitan, Margherita, and Sicilian, but this shop is experimenting with their own unique twists. In Queens and Brooklyn, you'll find more sauce, in the Bronx more cheese, and in Manhattan an equal balance of both. Pizza should never be eaten with a fork; instead, fold the slice and eat it from a paper plate to avoid sauce and oil dripping down your arm. On the West Coast, pizza tends to be topped with pineapple and ham, broccoli, or even without sauce or gluten, and often eaten with a fork and knife. While these variations are respected, there is no comparison to the traditional New York style pizza. In New York City, pizza is typically enjoyed as a plain cheese slice, as part of a wing, pasta, or antipasto meal. If a pizza is gluten-free, it often lacks the elasticity of traditional dough and can taste dry and cardboard-like. I may not be a food critic, but as someone who has been consuming NYC pizza for 40 years, I can confidently say that this is my expertise."
