Real New Jersey style pizza in Chicago! A friend from NY told me I had to check this place out and man it did not disappoint! Joe the owner has been in the Pie Life Pro business for 30+ years! Joe's a cool cat and very kind! Will definitely be a regular!

Pie Life is our new favorite pizza place by a long shot! If you're in the Carol Stream or Glen Ellyn area, make sure to stop by for a slice. 🍕😍
We typically go to the Carol Stream location - a hidden treasure nestled between multiple businesses on the side of a Home Depot. Blink and you might miss it! Look for the PIZZA sign next to Jimmy John's.
Once inside, you'll be greeted by the kindest staff and a great selection of slices that will be freshly heated for your enjoyment. Or you can order a whole pie with your favorite ingredients.
The best part about Pie Life pizza is the consistently satisfying CRUNCH you get with each bite. Whether you choose a thin crust or grandma's style, the crunch never disappoints! And the flavors are amazing as well.
There is only one thing that's disappointing about Pie Life - and that's when we crave their delectable creations on days they're closed... but our mouths watering on Monday or Tuesday just makes that amazing crunch even better on Wednesday! 😄

No better Jersey pies anywhere, except maybe the Glen Ellyn location. Superb.
Consistently good food, friendly service, and fair prices. Their Neapolitan with vodka sauce is my favorite.

Decent thin crust. Lotus variety Some good others not but that's just my taste. About 5 to 6 bucks a slice and one wo t cut it. Not cheap but unique. I still prefer chicago style over jersey. Worth a try indeed

After watching a ridiculous amount of barstool pizza reviews online I decided to embark on journey to find some east coast style pizza, to my surprise this place is located right down the street in Carol Stream. I went with the garlic white slice, my child being the typical annoying teenager who refuses to try anything new went with the cheese. We both really enjoyed the food. And for the price of two slices only being $9 you really can’t go wrong. I’m excited to go back and try all their other options.
Pie Life in Carol Stream is my new go-to for a great slice—or, in this case, a whole pie! After trying a couple of slices yesterday, I came back today and ordered their Grandma pizza, and it’s fantastic. The crust is addictive, the sauce is packed with flavor, and the crispy texture is just right.
My only request? A better pizza box to keep it warmer on the short drive home (less than 10 minutes). Even so, the pizza was still delicious when I got there!
Just recently heard about this place, and being a huge fan of east-coast style pizza, it was my duty as a professional fat person to investigate and explore. Pie Life is located in a plaza off Geneva between a haircut place and a Jimmy Johns. Upon entering, you are greeted with a blast of delicious pizza aroma. The interior is clean and tidy with some pretty cool paintings on the walls. The workers were helpful and courteous. Ordered a Margherita pizza to go. Waited about 15 minutes, and the pizza was good to go. The young gentleman that made my pizza even opened the box for me, so I may inspect the final product before leaving, which I actually really appreciated. It was a gorgeous, perfectly made Margherita pizza. Could not wait to take it home. Made the inside of my vehicle smell heavenly during my commute back home.
Tore into it straight away. Beautiful undercarriage, nice crunchy, light, and thin foldable dough with a crunchy crust with a bit of chew to it. Perfect amount of savory tangy sauce just beneath the perfect amount of mozzarella well-seasoned with basil. Absolute banger of a pizza. 8.8/10. I will be frequenting this place often. Great prices, excellent pizza, and good workers who offer awesome service. Come check out Pie Life Pizzeria. Cheers!
Vegetarian options: Plain tomato pie and Margherita pizza.
Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten-free option. Not sure if they're Kosher or Halal. Feel free to ask about any allergens if you have any food-borne allergies or illnesses. And also about ingredients and food preparation methods and handling if you have any religious obligations that require it.
Parking: Decent-sized parking lot with several spots as it is located in a plaza.
Kid-friendliness: When I went in, there were 2 different families there dining in with their children, so the young ones seem to also approve of the excellent pizza.
Wheelchair accessibility: No automatic door function. The doors appear wide enough to accommodate an assisted mobility unit.
