From a first birthday to a 50th or an 80th, Galati's gives you a private room and food everyone already loves: thin crust pizza, mostaccioli and garden salad. We're right in Cary, a short drive from Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove and Lake in the Hills.
Pizza buffet packages start at $19 per person, and you can add appetizers for $4 to $6 more. For a milestone birthday, pair a create-your-own buffet with a bar package, or take over the Catwalk, upstairs above the sports bar.
