Agatucci's Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
i'm not usually in Peoria but last weekend was there for a funeral. I remember Agatucci's from eating there in the early 90s and it did not disappoint! The pizza was a perfect tavern style with the crispy Crust and nice balance of toppings kind of sauce and cheese. The vinegar, oil and garlicky tiger sauce really takes it to the next level. I'm not crazy about the Peoria style cut into little thin strips thing that they do, but hey if that's how Agatucci's has been doing it for 50 or 60 years, I won't complain! Hope it's not another 30 years before I get to eat there again!
Best pizza in the country. Make sure to get the Tiger Sauce and the iceberg salad. Nothing better.
A great place to eat the owner hired my son and boyfriend!! Chad is a great guy!! The special "Tiger sauce", is phenomenal!!!
Great culture and environment. Very good service. I definitely recommend to stop by while your in Peoria
Best pizza in peoria area! Make sure and use the tiger sauce on your pizza! It's a must!!!
Agatucci's has really good pizza. The crust is thin and crispy. The interior of the restaurant is very dark. There are some quirks such as they do not offer soft drink refills and they provide "doggy bags" instead of boxes for takeout. Also, they do accept credit cards but only MasterCard and Visa. Overall, this is one of my favorites for pizza!
