Procento’s Pizzeria

The owner is originally from Chicago so that’s a plus. Second, the food was great. I had the baked mostacciolli and it was a great delicious serving. My girlfriend had the pizza and the dough was airy and lite while the pizza overall was delicious. Prices are great and affordable.
Will come again to try the double Decker.

We had the thin crust special delivered and frankly it was a disappointment. The crust was so soggy that the pieces couldn’t even stand on their own. The vegetables were cut way too big and overall the pizza just didn’t have much flavor.
The caesar salad was average. I wanted to love this place but it just didn’t make the grade. I was going to give one star but I added a second because they deliver (to hotels only)

Wonderful little Italian restaurant! My wife, daughter and I had a Labella-​bella pizza and it was absolutely outstanding! Fresh mushrooms, tasty cheeses. Service was excellent– fast and constantly seeing if there was anything else we might want. And, the place was busy, too. We would certainly recommend Procento’s to everyone. Should we get to Galena again, I will absolutely look forward to frequenting Procento’s again!

We picked up a regular and gluten free pizza and while waiting, at least two of the staff offered something to drink to our person picking up the order. very nice touch (and he didn’t wait long either). The pizza was delicious and my daughter loved the GF one. Will return when in the area.

Delicious and fresh. Ordered the 12″ double decker with spinach and garlic. It was a perfect pizza. — super cheesy, saucy, with the appropriate amount of toppings.

I waver on the number of stars to give, but I’m going to settle for three. If I were stacking this up against a gourmet Italian restaurant, I would give two stars. The menu here is more Italio-​American family style/​comfort food, and that’s what I’ll rate it against. Considering that, it’s still the best Italian restaurant in the area hands down.
There’s a few things that will make me instantly knock an Italian place down to a single star, two if its lucky. Mushrooms from a can. Food service pizza crust. A salt-block’s worth of sodium in a single serving of sauce. Ignorance of basil or oregano as a spice. Procento’s is NOT guilty of any of these offenses. Fresh mushrooms. Hand-​made pizza crust. Red sauce that tastes more of oregano than salt. Mr. Pibb on the soda bar. OK, that has nothing to do with being a good Italian place. But I love me some MPB.
When you just need a spot in Galena for casual dining, Procento’s wins. Best pizza in town. It’s not Chicago or New York pizza, but if this Chicagoan will come back for it, what else do you need to know?

The place was absolutely packed. They had 2 groups with reservations waiting for their tables and more people wanting to get on the waiting list. All we ordered was a double decker mushroom pizza. We got the smallest one, as although there was only 2 of us we were not even able to finish half. The pizza was really good and filling, even as left overs the next day.

Great pizza. Had the double decker. Could not come close to finishing it. Wonderful service.

OMG, this is simply one of the best pizza places in town. Fresh ingredients is the word here. Small and quaint restaurant at end of Main street and around corner. A lot of locals go there so you know it’s gotta be good.
Enjoy!

Very good thin crust pizza.
Both my wife and I enjoyed our pizzas and would definitely return.
Seating space is somewhat limited. Good service.

Just off the main road around the corner. Great food! We were suggested to try this place out by a shop owner in town. The salad was good it had spinach in it unlike most iceberg ones. The garlic bread was good as well as the homemade lasagna.
We enjoyed the food so much we didn’t have room for desserts. Would come again!

Recently ate here on a weekend getaway, Staff was very nice, Jack our server was great, he gave us a brief history review on the family business. We ordered Garlic bread to start off with which was perfect. We ordered specialty pizza Spinach and Roma Tomatoes which was ssoooo good. It had fresh ricotta cheese amd olive oil along with spinach and perfect size roma tomatoes. We also had a pizza with the works, thin crust was awesome. The place looks very small when you walk up but its was able to accommodate our large group. The only bad thing was we sat near the door, it was very cold out, everytime the door opened it seemed like forever for it to close. Overall we will be back.

Had a thin crust pizza here the other nite. Good crust, mushrooms were fresh not canned. Very lite on the sauce, which did not bother me. To somewhat compensate for lite sauce, they instead chop up fresh tomatoes and throw on as a topping. I thought that worked well. Decent selection of bottled beers and wine. (Beer in a can is better preserved and usually tastier. I wish places would offer a selection of cans in their repertoires. Bottles don’t protect against light and oxygen as well as cans, and light and oxygen are enemies of fresh beer)
It is a very small place. Also, as you walk in you immediately must walk down steps so I got to wondering, did they raise the street level up? Why else would the entrance be arranged this way?
The service was attentive. Their gimmick or practice is to serve the pizza on an elevated platform. While it looks nice and is different, I took it down because I didn’t want the pizza cooling off any faster than necessary.

Breadsticks stuffed with mozzarella were amazing. Ask for a side of their homemade Alfredo sauce for dipping! We bought 2 — 12″ pizzas. One was the Hawaiian with shrimp, Canadian bacon, pineapple and tons of mozzarella cheese. We loved it! Great thin crust. The 2^nd pizza was their famous double decker pizza with sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, and onion. It was good too but we enjoyed the thin crust pizza better. The veggies in the pizza were very fresh and tasty but cut too large for my preference. They didn’t taste cooked. Very friendly staff and great service. We went on a Friday night. It was busy but we didn’t have to wait to be seated

It looks so small, I might have passed it by. Unilocal kindly tapped me on the shoulder and said «No, it’s really good.»
As you walk in there is almost a tardis-​like effect as you realize this place is much larger than you anticipated.
We were greeted late in the day by a pleasant server. Although they had much more than pizza on the menu, I was in a Pizaa mood.
We chose the labelle pizza which had a variety of cheese and some basil. The crust was thin. The flavor s were good. The pizza was plentiful without being overloaded.
The topper was the choice of a Potosi Ale to wash it all down.
Yum!

We ordered a pizza and breadsticks to our hotel while we were recently in Galena. We had Happy Joe’s last year and it was terrible so we were looking to upgrade. We were successful and were very happy with our pizza from Procento’s. We had the Procento’s Special (sausage, green peppers, mushroom and chopped tomatoes… thin crust). The ingredients were so fresh and the sauce was tasty. Tasted like it was cooked in a brick oven. The breadsticks were good but a bit overpriced. Would recommend a stop in or delivery if in the area.

A very novel experience out in the hilly boonies of Galena.
Having been brought here as part of a wine tour (ingenious business promotion — food and booze!) we didn’t know what to expect. It was good to come in as a group to try one of the many pizzas on the menu. Each had a style, an origin, each flavorful in its own way. The wide range of ingredients was pleasing to the eyes and we had a hard time deciding what to order. The group ordered different items. We chose the Mediterranean. As each rolled out it was a feast on the eyes. All of us kept looking at the pizzas flying out in front of us with the expression, «what is going to come out next?»
The shop has some Chicago roots I heard. Maybe that has something to do with the quality of the pizzas here, or maybe it doesn’t. But they roll out tasty pies worth the minimal wait. Sure the décor is slightly kitschy, but they have beer! Alcohol always helps wash down tasteless victuals. That isn’t the case here. You’ll have many good reasons to shove pie in your face and move onto the alcohol. Rinse. Repeat.
Staff was friendly, even if being forced to by our tour guide; in the end, we were the only couple to leave a tip for the kind service. What was up with that Iowans? Don’t they tip over in those wheat and corn fields yonder? The place is small enough that you’ll notice the food and drink being gobbled up before you’ll notice the somewhat cramped quarters you share with other folks. But hey, this is Galena for crying out loud. No need to impose my McMansion, big city biases on this quaint, yet thriving business. No, this place does not require any scorn levied its way. There is one place down the street that sure does though!
Bottom line: you’ll be glad you stopped by on your way to the bridges or the rest of the shops that close at 5pm (4:15pm really) that only the tourists frequent. There’s even a real blacksmith across the alley for you «sweat f your brow» types!

After readying Unilocal reviews we decided to head in. It is a very small setting, no more than about 10 tables. Since we came in when it just opened it wasn’t busy. The young gentleman who waited on us was very assisting and nice. He was very chatty-​Kathy with my husband throughout the whole meal. But seeing that my husband is mr chatty-​Kathy himself it was all good. I personally like a little less talk while I’m eating so I was fine listening away ha. But very nice guy, good service.
We decided to get onion rings to start, I let my husband choose. While waiting I was reading Unilocal reviews and people raved about the breadsticks… So I was a little disappointed we didn’t go with that. I must say, and I’m not a huge onion ring fan, but these were really tasty and they had a nice crust to them, light not too thick. So wasn’t too disappointed.
We ordered the Labella Bella pizza Half sausage half non and it was such a tasty good pizza.
I would absolutely order pizza from this place again. It was a very friendly atmosphere that will have me coming back not only for the food!

I give this place five stars because for being in a small quaint town, the pizza is awesome. Their specialty is thin crust, almost flat-​bread like. The crunchy crust adds great texture to each bite, and they have an amazing selection to choose from. We ordered the Hawaiian style pizza because I have never had it with additional ingredients. In addition to pineapple and ham, it also had shrimp, fresh tomatoes, and pesto as the sauce. It was good!
Our waitress was really nice and provided wonderful service. This place made an even bigger impression on me when the front desk clerk at the resort we were staying overheard us talking about Procento’s. She raved on and on about how nice the owner is.

I’m kind of a pizza snob, so I had no idea what to expect from this small establishment in Galena. I was hoping its proximity to Chicago might translate into good things.
We ordered delivery as we were passing thru town and were too tired to go out. The 14″ pizza arrived in less than a ½ hour, still hot from the oven and cut into squares! (our preferred way for thin crust).
The mushrooms were fresh, ample and delicious. The sausage was perfect, free form and lumpy with lots of fennel and seasoning. The pie was a bit heavy on the cheese, but it was good cheese, so no points lost. There was some seasoning as well, maybe some coarsely ground pepper and oregano.
All in all, it hit the spot and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again when we are in town.
