50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Highland Park

“Aside from the pizza being amazing, big plus for whole wheat crust, I really think they grow their own people there! Every single time I call, no matter the reason, they are SO INCREDIBLY NICE. Every person who picks up the phone; helpful, kind, just NICE every time! How do they hire only nice people? I need the recipe. Thank you Pierros!“

“the smoked sweet potato is a gamechanger. Spectacular“

“Great place to get dinner for the family.“

“I love to support family small businesses, so I decided to give Forno Pavese a try. Couldn’t help to order after walking by and smelling the aroma. Great pizza 4 thumbs up from me and my wife!“

“I had the pasta pizza and it was the best. ~Your friendly neighborhood web developer. (Spider-Man)“

“Needed to top off the fuel, and grab a quick car wash. The staff working inside were helpful and friendly. The interior was clean and bright. Unfortunately the pump was out of paper for a receipt, but that was no problem as I planned to grab a drink on the inside anyway. The car wash did a decent job, I was only needing a bit of a rinse, to get the salt off and it met my expectations.“

“Great service great pizza. The only thing that’s not nice is when your employee sit out in front of the building vaping and you have to smell it when you walk into the building absolutely disgusting!!! I’m sure there’s a back door to the facility instead of having Employee out front by the door vaping is disgusting!!“

“I've driven by the place for a year and kept thinking I should drop in. Finally stopped for a slice last month, and went back to try their smash burger just recently.

Love the place. They have excellent food and a kicky little interior, but I loved chatting with the owner as he made my food. One of the owners, at least. Anyway, curious to try their other offerings, and happy to meet a local small business owner and find them to be just good people. To me, that has more impact than the menu. But the menu is worth the trip, all the same!

I know the owner reads these reviews, so I say thank you for your excellent efforts. It's not a small thing to feed strangers food made with care and love, and it matters to some of us when we see it. Nothing but the best to you, my friend.“

“Absolutely delicious! I would totally recommend. 🫶🏻“

“Delicious Mexican food and creative cuisine.“

“This pizza is so good! I wish they were open more often“

“Have been going to Pavia for about a yr. Started going to Tuesday night trivia & had a blast! The owner & his staff are so nice. The food is awesome, especially the meatballs! Great upper level for a party!“

“Good thin crust and good ingredients, cooked perfect“

“I was forced to order a pizza that I really wanted but couldn't order by name because it is named after a stadium that I won't speak of. It was Fantastic nice crispy crust the toppings were plentiful. Would it hurt to put up some Sox stuff. Will definitely be back. Some great sounding apps on the menu.“

“Great atmosphere and food!“

“We dined in tonight. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. Will definitely stop in again next time we are in town.“

“If you are looking for an incredible dining experience that perfectly balances amazing flavor with high-quality ingredients, HALAL PIZZA POINT is an absolute must-visit. They manage to deliver an outstanding variety of options that keep you coming back for more.
​The crust strikes the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and wonderfully chewy on the inside, serving as the ideal foundation for their fresh toppings and flavorful sauce. Beyond the classic favorites, their specialty pies feature beautifully seasoned meats that set them apart from standard pizza spots.
​The service is consistently warm, welcoming, and prompt, making you feel right at home whether you are picking up a quick takeout order or dining in with family. For anyone seeking delicious, premium halal options, this spot truly hits the mark!“

“Best Pizza in Evanston. The dough, the unique ingredients. I. Am.Hooked👌“

“I ordered a square pizza consisting of four pieces. It was a deep-dish pizza and the appearance is debatable. But the taste convinced me, because the pizza with extra jalapenos was really delicious! You even could refine the preparation of the crust in terms of flavor, so I decided to have garlic in the dough, which was very good. I made my order through a third-party app that had a promo, which means pay one, get two. All in all, I was very satisfied with the value for money of my order.“

“We were in town for a convention and staying at a hotel. We decided to order a pizza our last night there. We chose Joe's at random, and we were not disappointed. Our order was delivered promptly by a very nice, and courteous person. The pizza we ordered was delicious. We loved everything about it -the thin crust, delicious sauce (not too much), and generous amount of cheese. I especially liked that the toppings were under the cheese, and there were herbs!! Kuddos to Joe's for great food and friendly service!!“

“My first time at The SILO- was highly recommended by many others & they did NOT disappoint. Excellent thin crust pizza. Only complaint would be how many tables they have - making it difficult to navigate with a walker/wheelchair. We had a fantastic server, but unfortunately I didn't get his name.“

“Favorite thin Pizza! Been eating at this location since the 1970s. No one makes pizza crust like this location. Love the cheap Root Beer.

Miss the ice cream bar they had in the 1980s, wish they could bring the ice cream bar back.“

“Not only was this location able to time a delivery to accommodate a train’s brief stop at the Metra station, the pizza seemed to have come right out of the oven. Fantastic food and service to match!“

“The pizzas are absolutely delicious! The Detroit-style pizza is soft, buttery, and incredibly flavorful, with so many topping options to choose from. My kids love it and get so excited whenever it’s Jet’s Pizza for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.😆“

“We tried this pizza place last night and were not disappointed!! Delicious!!! We have always been a Lou Malnati’s fan but wanted to try a smaller business. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!“

“Excellent food and friendly staff with great prices!“

“I love the pizza and the soup. Always very good. Good service.“

“What a fun place for families (or anyone!) looking for a casual place for dinner. Although known for pizza, the super green salad and spicy sausage rigatoni were outstanding. Nice kids working there who seemed to have fun working. Great spot!“

“Everything about this place is awesome. The service, the speed, and most importantly, the food. Everytime I've ordered from here, the pizza is hot and tastes amazing. While there's no indoor seating, the service is faster here than in other places in the area if you order pick up or delivery.

Plus, I love how for every pizza you get, you get a card. You collect 10 of those cards, and you get a pizza (ANY size or toppings) for half off! Northshore is seriously one of the best pizza places I've done business with. I highly recommend them if you're in the area!“

“We stopped today as a family for pizza before hitting up all the Home Alone sites. The pizza was incredibly delicious! The staff were friendly and the building itself was small and cozy. Fast service too! The neighborhood is delightful as well! Would absolutely stop again when in the area.“

“We’ve had the pleasure of eating at Pappi’s for many years. The food is always fresh and delicious abd the owners are truly wonderful people. Can’t say enough good things!“

“Great, authentic Italian cuisine. Never disappoints.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite as I was pressed for time. I heard they sell slices, and that's what I got. 1 slice of stuffed spinach & cheese and a drink for $9. Lots of others were getting the thin slices, and place was busy. Overall it was great for a fast lunch that hit the spot.“

“When I tell you I love pizza but when we tasted the food. We had fried mushrooms, sweet chili wings, and a pizza talking about delicious omg hands down the best, when we visit again, we will be back. From st.louis/ cahokia keep up the good work, service was great as well“

“Great pasta w Meatballs highly encourage the sauce And meatballs some of the best. Also had the pasta with broccoli excellent The pizza is great always ! Very friendly Staff“

“Ok walking up you knew it was going to be something special. You walk up to this grand outdoor double sided fireplace beautiful. Then there beautiful outside that covers the wall to the right of the fireplace in the courtyard, most likely used for outside events. Not to mention there’s a space in the back that can open its doors to the courtyard. This place has so many different things to look at and we didn’t even get inside yet. Let me just say it’s beautiful in there takes your breath away, from the crystals and velvet it’s sultry sexy dark vibe. It’s giving classy Rat pack or the Great Gatsby type of vibes, you’ll definitely understand when you’re there. The drinks,, food (Brick Oven Pizza),, the people, delish, and unforgettable….“

“Best pizza in town.“

“Fantastic addition to Northbrook…dine in or carry out, food is consistently delicious!“

“Went in. Was seated right away. Service was speedy and good.“

“HUGE slices that disappear quickly. outstanding!!!“

“Amazing and now I love the tacos 🥰“

“Happy 2026! This is my first video review, and I’m starting strong with Vince’s Pizza in Niles, IL. Hands down, this is the best pizza spot I’ve had in the Chicagoland area. In my opinion, it’s as good as, if not better than, Pantaleone’s in Denver, Colorado. The quality of the pizza is outstanding. It easily surpasses every slice I tried at Pizza Fest Chicago 2025. Vince uses incredibly fresh ingredients, and it shows in every bite. The crust is exceptional, honestly on par with some of the best pizza spots in NYC. Service is top-notch. Vince himself is the owner, chef, cashier, and server, which adds a personal touch you don’t find often. He’s friendly, welcoming, and happy to offer recommendations based on what you like. It’s no surprise he’s been a multiple-year Pizza Wars winner. On top of that, the pricing is unbeatable for the size and quality, easily better value than places like Rosati’s, Viccino’s Pizza Company, and Giordano’s. The ambiance feels like stepping into an old-school neighborhood pizza shop. It’s nostalgic, warm, and refreshing, something that’s becoming harder and harder to find. Final recommendation: Try the pizza by the slice (it’s massive basically a quarter of a pie), the Vince’s Special, or the Meat Lovers. You’ll leave more than satisfied and definitely wanting to come back. Highly recommend supporting this amazing small, local business.“

“Always excellent, always delivered no problems whether its the yummy chicken or a stuffed pizza. Keep up the good work!“

“I discovered La rosa pizza about six years ago. It continues to be the best pizza in the area. I love the deep dish actually.“

“sauce is a little sweeter than I prefer but still good and they don't skimp on the toppings. decent place with a great staff“
