Best WLM Reviews
The sausage pizza (Home Run Pizza) was very good, it was fresh, well cooked and delicious. I appreciated that it had a generous amount of cheese on it. It was expensive for a personal sized pizza but I guess that's to be expected inside of an airport. It's thin crust pizza so don't be expecting Chicago Deep Dish or pan pizza! They ran out of Coors Light so I got a Bud Light instead, also expensive. $12.99 for the pizza, $10.29 for the beer. If you have a long evening layover don't wait to get food. They were running out of things at 7:00 pm, and the bar next door already had a "no food" sign posted.
This wasn't too bad for a airport sandwich place especially since they replaced Potbelly's with a Home Run Inn Pizza. I had a breakfast sandwich which was of course overpriced, but you don't have much of a choice when at an airport. The sandwich was freshly made with a good bagel. The staff was friendly and the place looked well organized.
For an airport food location, Cafe L’Appetito has oddly strict food hours. I came at 10:55 and asked for a meatball sub, and they said sorry you’ll have to come back in 5 minutes to order it. When I did come back, I was thoroughly disappointed with my order. Instead of putting marinara sauce onto my sub, it felt like they just dunked each meatball into the sauce and dropped in onto my sub. Instead of a meatball sub, it was meatballs dragged off of somebody’s spaghetti and put on bread.
Horrible place. The only reason any of the restaurants in Chi MDW stay open is the whole airport sucks and hasnt changed or offered any legitimate food options in 20 years.
So when you are here, you have no choice then to eat at one of these disgusting establishments and pay a fortune at the same time.
There is literally no good places in this entire airport for food options - not sure why any of the big food chains arent available here? And no, DD’s is not a food restaurant.
All the restaurants are bizarre places Ive never seen anywhere else (like - not outside of this airport, forget about other flying locations…..)
So slow. The food is already prepared, what takes so long? I think we've been in line 15 minutes, and there's only been 4 families helped in front of us. The pizza is cheese on cardboard. Ugh.
My panini and wife"s were delicious full of cheese and pepperoni , the service was busy like all the places but normal for airport.
As others have said, the pizza and panini were terrible. The “Italian” pasta salad was dry and it’s made with corn oil, which is such a cheap shortcut on olive oil. The item is listed as being made with olive oil on their menu boards, too. It didn’t have any spinach fusilli, so the food packaging label is wrong again!
Made the mistake of going here before checking the reviews. My boyfriend and I both got food (1 very small pizza, 1 sub, 2 drinks and a yogurt parfait) and spent a total of $42. now I understand airport food is expensive, however, this was unacceptable for the quality of food we got. the pizza was cold. all of the pizzas served sat under a warmer that I'm pretty sure does not even work because it, really, was cold. Apparently they think it's okay to serve pizzas that they made four hours prior because that was the quality of the pizza I got. The sub was very overseasoned and not worth the $12. it was small too. I would recommend going absolutely anywhere else. Arriving at an airport already tired and hungry, expecting some warm comfort food and being met with this disappointment is not what you want to do.
