Filippo’s Pizza and Italian Food of Mahomet

Hands down, best veggie pizza I’ve had to date. I must say, it’s important that you like olives (they use a lot), if you want to enjoy the veg pizza.
Their sauce is amazing. I sometimes ask for extra. I hate when places skimp on pizza sauce; they do not. It has a hint of sweetness which I love.
I’ve also tried the mushroom & sausage pizza and the spaghetti. Both were delicious. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on their menu to be honest.
I wish they were open on Mondays. The wait for delivery can also be a tad long (averaging around an 1 to an hour and a half). But it’s worth the wait ok.

We have lived in the area for many years. Some people swear this is the best pizza ever. I just don’t get it? In 10 years living here we have tried to give this place a chance several times (especially when we get tired of the other pizza in town and want something different). Each time try it, we regret it. The pizza is very sweet. Way too sweet to taste like pizza. Our kids will eat a bite or two then say they are full (the same kids that will eat slice after slice of any other pizza). The people working there tend to be a bit rude. As if they are doing me a favor by letting me order from them.

After waiting 2 hours for the delivery of our pizza, baked mostaccioli and chicken parmesan I can’t tell you how disappointed the three of us were. The sauce on all three dishes was sweet and just not good. The chicken was over cooked. There was nothing Italian about any of these dishes. My advice is to order a pizza from Casey’s. You’ll have it in less than an hour and it is by far a much better pizza. This town is lacking a good, authentic Italian restaurant. It’s rather disheartening that the best pizza I can find is at a gas station.

Nope.
I’m not sure how this place is a town favorite… But probably because it’s a small town and there aren’t a lot of places to eat.
This is a frozen food restaurant with an odd sweet sauced side show pizza.
We had a meat lovers and a cheese pizza… But we didn’t even bother taking the leftover home. Yuck. Soggy and the only flavor was the overly sweet sauce.
The table was dirty and so were the glasses. Our server was rude, seemed annoyed we were there… Uh …
And then we waited a long time for being one of three tables there. Uh… What?
For a hometown restaurant this could be so good… But the service and the food needs help. Rework the menu and hopefully it will be worth trying again.

The Hawaiian pizza is soooo good. The wait is always worth it. It’s real pieces of ham– not processed cubes of «meat». Add that to their fantastic crust and sauce and you’re in pizza heaven.

We visited friends in Champaign to attend a U of I game and they brought us to Filippo’s for dinner. This tiny pizza parlor was packed with people on a busy Friday night but we did snag a spot for six. We are able to bring our own bear/​wine (big score) and ordered salads and pizza.
The salads, consisted of lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese, were fresh and crisp but they were served with packets of dressing (more appropriate for carry-​out not dine-​in) so that was awkward and somewhat irritating since we didn’t have enough and had to ask for more a few times.
The pizza was really good — crispy crust, a slightly sweet sauce and good toppings. We ordered Sausage on one and veggie on the other. The service was not notable, aside from having to get his attention a few times for dressing and napkins, he was quick to take our order and our food was served promptly and piping hot.
I don’t have anything to compare Filippo’s to since we aren’t from the area but we know good pizza and I would guess this is one of the best places for pizza in this area.

This family-​owned and family-​run small Italian restaurant is a best-​kept secret in a small town outside of Champaign-​Urbana. While many people in the area say Papa Del’s is the best pizza, I would vote Filippo’s as my favorite. But pizza is only one of the great menu choices. Their lasagna is indescribably delicious! Bridgie and Jerry Paris are the owners (Bridgie’s parents run the Filippo’s in Monticello). Their son (named Filippo Paris) is the third generation of an extremely successful small business in a small town. They don’t sell alcohol, but you can bring in whatever you want to drink with your meal. We are frequent patrons, and never tire of this great place.

Every now and then is a little overcooked but when it’s done right, it’s awesome.

I LOVE this place!
Filippo’s has the best Lasagna I have EVER had! I can’t find better anywhere, and I have been looking. I try to visit every time I come down from Chicago to visit my family.
The pizza is great too. Really everything I have tried has been amazing. I have, and will recommend this to everyone heading to the area!

Filippo’s is, without a doubt, THE best pizza in all of Champaign-​Urbana. It is run by a family that relocated from Sicily and uses authentic Italian recipes. My personal favorite is the Spicy Chicken Pizza. Beyond the delicious food, I enjoy supporting a small business run by a local family. Filippo’s is a MUST try if you’re in the Chambana area; it’s definitely worth the drive if you aren’t in Mahomet.

Excellent pizza! I’m pretty sure they grind their own sausage here and it is simply delicious. Crust is not a deep pan or a thin and crispy, but right in the middle. The sauce is sweet and the cheese is of very good quality. This pizza reminds me of the mom and pop shops I would frequent in Chicagoland. Highly recommend!!!
Allow plenty of time for carry out or delivery on weekends as it can take over an hour.

I love this restaurant! I had to chuckle at the review about their being closed for vacation. We all HATE when they go on vacation! There’s nothing worse than craving a Filippo’s pizza and finding out you can’t have one. Considering this family-​run restaurant is open six days a week year-​round, though, we have decided it’s ok for them to take a vacation. It makes it all the sweeter when they return. I personally recommend the veal parmesan and the pizza. I really have a rough time choosing sometimes. Also, they’re one of the few places that deliver in Mahomet, and having a Filippo’s pizza show up at your door is always a treat. I highly recommend!

Closed for vacation until august 24^th. What an annoyance.

This place is awesome. Everything is awesome except the fact that they don’t take credit cards.

Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had.
As many do, they slightly sweeten the pasta tomato sauce. I think it’s fine, but my wife prefers hers without sugar. Since we both agree that the pizza is the best, this is not an issue!
Not a large dining room, maybe a dozen tables.

Wow, I can’t believe I’m the first to review! I’ve been eating Filippo’s Pizza and Italian Food for probably 13 years. I love their pizza, the sauce is amazing, and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I personally recommend their spaghetti with meatballs, or cheese or meat ravioli, as well as their pizza (I still go for cheese pizza). The staff are extremely personable and friendly– go there!
