Gallina Pizza

This is a self serve place so service depends on you :) Pizza is good, side salad was ok but I wouldn’t expect great salad from pizza place any way. Chocolate chip cookies I would pass - they felt too dry and crumbly to my taste. Kid-friendliness: There are booths and owners and public tolerant to kids being loud.

We love this family run Italian restaurant in Springfield! It’s humorous reading some of the other reviews because some of the family members do NOT have the best people skills… smiles are sometimes hard to come by and communication isn’t always easy, but we found this to be the same in Italy. Their food is pretty authentic; much of it their own family recipes. The excellent sandwich bread is made in house, as is of course, the pizza dough and all their recipes. This last trip I had a plate sized Italian beef with peppers and cheese, yum! All has been great in our experiences, the pizza is wonderful! Everything we’ve had there has been good- their Italian cookies, warmed in the oven, are great, Salads are fresh and crunchy. Many different types of fountain/canned and bottled drinks are available. It’s just a typical city pizza and sandwich place and the atmosphere shows it, but it’s clean enough, feels historic, and we enjoy talking with the Gallina’s. Don’t miss this little bit of history in Springfield, it’s Italian!

The food is way to expensive for what you get... 20 dollars for 6 meatballs... really. The pizza was burnt and the sauce is nasty

We always love going here. Everything is always great.

Was visiting over the weekend and someone recommended this place to us. Glad they did. It’s a cute family owned place with great pizza and calzone along with a variety of other popular Italian dishes. Everyone enjoyed their food. Will definitely be back next year if we come to Springfield for state.

A piece of Italy perfectly spotted in the heart of the state capital!! Sandwiches, amazing. Pizza, awesome. Looking for homemade pasta? Spaghetti and meatballs? Yes they have it all! Huge menu, beautiful restaurant! Very colorful. Grab a slice with a beer, do some gambling on the machines, have a kids birthday, they literally check all the boxes!! The owner is exceptionally nice and you can tell the love they put into the place for decades!! Parking: You have to park on the street but it's worth it! Kid-friendliness: Plenty of room and seats for kids!

An epicurean escapade like no other!
