Best pizza in all of Evanston! I've even tried the meatballs and the salad and they are equally delicious. If you're looking for a pizza where the fresh ingredients and sauce are well balanced and baked to perfection, this is your go-to place.

Here’s what you need to know: loved this pizzeria. Delicious pizza that had all the right flavors in great harmony - from the meat to the cheese to the sauce. Great value for around $5 for a huge slice.Service was super friendly and quick - only took 3-4 minutes for my slice to be ready from the time I ordered.The ambiance is cute and practical for a carryout only place. They have a terrific selection of Italian sodas and teas in a fridge. I even found my favorite Italian peach iced tea.Overall, Extremely well run local pizzeria deserving of all the love and adoration it has.

Delicious! Hard to find great east coast style pizza here in the Midwest, but enter Cantuccio’s!! That thin chewy crust is spectacular.

This is our favorite pizza in Evanston and beyond. Perfect NY Style crust. Fresh and tasty ingredients. Always delivered hot. We used to order Jimmys Pizza when we lived in Chicago so this has become a very welcome go-to since we moved. We actually find in better than Jimmys in some respects. Our usual order is a Pepperoni and the Bridgeport. It’s the best!

I actually greatly liked this place. Good pizza slices at a good price. It's a grab and go type place. Got a slice and a pop for under $7 with tax. Not bad. It was also super fast. I liked that the slice was big, but also crispy. Ate it on the way back to the office. I know it's weird to give it a 5, but it was everything I was hoping. I will be back

We built our own pizza and ordered Kale Caesar salad. Both are tasty and not too cheesy. The food was prepared well at the given time.

Cantuccios is our family's go to pizza place on the North Shore. The crust is crispy, doughy, and phenomenal. The salads are fresh and paired with house made dressings that will not disappoint (especially the caesar!) My youngest cannot recommend the meatballs more fervently. Our family typically has a hard time deciding on a restaurant everyone agrees on...except when it comes to Cantuccios. Everyone finishes happy and earmarks a slice for the next day's lunch. Give it a try! You will be so grateful you did.
The pepperoni pizza is delicious - love that the pepperoni cup up and make little oil pools. Crust is great. It felt like the pizza was a little unbalanced - not sure if it needed some sort of herb or sweet component. Salad was very light on toppings and expensive for what it was.

Pizza-by-the-slice shops are a civic treasure. Cantuccio's miniscule real-estate footprint belies its outsize contribution to the local dining landscape.Their pizza is very, very good. I wouldn't call it New York style, because the crust is chewy but crisper on the outside (rather than floppy). I can't fold this slice in half, but I love it for what it is.+ Veggie slices available all the time!+ Smaller pepperoni that "cup up" in the oven+ Convenient walk-up window+ Amazing-looking cookies (though I haven't tried them...yet)

Great place for New York style pizza. Good ingredients and tasty toppings.

I was caught up in the lazy Sunday night vibes. You know the kind - did all the cleaning & adulting early, so I could just loaf around for the rest of the day. It's a whole mood... which included not wanting to cook dinner. While playing video games, the pizza idea struck. It's a nostalgic combo. I've had my eye on Cantuccio's for a while & it was time. I hopped online & began to build my own. Sausage & shroom it would be. Fourteen inch because I am but one person, but also happy this was my "food prep" for a few lunches this week. I don't know about you, but pizza also makes the bad work day go away. Or at least more tolerable. Pricing might be high for some, but as usual, I love supporting local! Food arrived even earlier than expected & the delivery guy was very nice. Pizza arrived hot & glorious. The cheese to sauce ratio was nice, toppings were tasty, & the dough was a carb lover's dream. Chewy & lightly crisp. No, it's not Chicago style & honestly I couldn't care - can't hear the naysayers over me chewing this deliciousness. I will absolutely be ordering again & you should give it a try too, if you have a hankering for NY style pizza.

A very small pizza shop selling pretty big pizza. Order a sliced of veggie. And they loaded it with all of the veggie topping. Topped notch slice. No dinning inside but they have outdoor seating and a window to order from as well.
