50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Highwood

“We went to Washington Garden’s last night with friends hoping to enjoy some good Italian food. The food was delicious! The portions were large and the waitress couldn’t have been nicer. We will be returning soon. 🥰👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good drinks, great spot to relax. The place has comfortable seating and a quiet atmosphere, perfect if you’re looking to wind down at the end of the night with friends or family. Drinks are solid, but most definitely on the pricey side. Still, it’s a nice spot when you want something a little more laid-back. I highly recommend the Porn Star- Although a bit embarrassing to order for a dude LOL, it was tart and delicious!“

“Since the day Lenny opened the place, I have been a loyal patron. Even though I moved out of state in 87, 5 times a year I come in for for the best beef and sausage in them we state.“

“So so so good! We got pizza and ice cream. Both were perfect! We are so excited for summer with many dinners here!“

“is my favorite place,very kind,very fast 💯“

“Great friendly, attentive staff. Best jumbo shrimp and calamari in the Northern Burbs. Same great quality service and food after all these years.“

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

“Fresh and delicious attention to detail. Just had a deep dish pizza with red onion and yellow peppers. Perfect balance of flavors.“

“Good thin crust and good ingredients, cooked perfect“

“We ordered the chicken parmesan pizza with only half giardiniera. Holy cow. A wonderful and unique pizza experience. The waitress was very accommodating and friendly. Some of the crust was amazingly thin, leaving more room for more flavor to come through. I only docked a star because I personally don't like gambling machines. We will definitely be returning here“

“We received their flyer in the mail showcasing some great-looking pizzas, pub staples, and tacos de harina. We’d never heard of Cansino’s before, but figured we’d give it a shot. Man, am I glad we did — because they’ve quickly become one of our local favorites! For years, Lou Malnati's held the crown for our favorite Chicago-style deep dish, but Cansino’s has officially taken the top spot. Their cheese blend is unbelievably creamy, stretchy, and flavorful. It’s their own house blend of California cheeses, and it reminds us of the rich, melty Wisconsin brick used in Detroit-style pies — maybe a touch creamier and a bit less salty. The sauce is hearty and well-balanced, loaded with herbs and neither too sweet nor too tart. The crust has just the right firmness and flavor, and their sausage is leaner than Lou’s but packs a bold fennel kick. We still enjoy other deep dish places, but when a craving hits, Cansino’s is our first call. We’re picky about onion rings, but Cansino’s nails it: crispy seasoned breading, and tender perfectly cooked rings of onion. The fries are also really solid, and their fried mushrooms were an unexpected hit. I’ve tried a couple of their tortas too — all were tasty, with well-seasoned beef, flavorful beans, and nicely grilled fajita-style veggies. The bread held up great. I’ve got my eye on their paninos in the near-future. The staff is super friendly and always ready with a great suggestion or two. The place is clean, bright, and well kept. Prices are fair for the area, everything we’ve ordered has been ready on time, and there's plenty of parking right in front. Their entrance is easy to access, and they’re located right across the street from the Fort Sheridan Metra Station — which makes them a perfect stop before or after a commute. Looks like their breakfast would be perfect before a train ride! We’ll definitely keep exploring more of the menu and will update with more photos as we go.“

“Delicious Mexican food and creative cuisine.“

“I am a Chicago native now living in Colorado. While visiting, I needed to find a place that offered both deep dish pizza for my husband and gluten free pizza for me. This was a great choice. My husband was able to order deep dish by the slice and said it was delicious. My GF pizza was yummy with sausage and onion. I don't know what makes Chicago onions on pizza unique, but they just aren't the same anywhere else. The price was reasonable, and the tables outside in the shade were lovely.“

“best food ,pizza sauce is really good, if you want good take out food this place is the place 👌🙌.“

“It's a good casual place. The pizza reminds me reminds me of a deep dish crust but with all that extra breading. Loved the pizza but I've tried millions of places; it's great and food came out extremely warm and mozzarella sticks were tasty and crunchy but it was extremely mind blowing but it was good“

“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!!“

“Great place for groups and our server, Zaire, was simply excellent! A large menu with large portions. We had a wide variety of dietary preferences in our group - basically a bunch of picky eaters in different ways - and everyone found something they were happy with. Good find for Navy folks and their families/friends!“

“Simply amazing for the last 15 years running!“

“i love this place. i’ve been going since i was a little kid with my grandparents. very good pizza!!! everyone is so friendly. my grandparents knew the owners :)“

“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!“

“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!“

“This Pizza place is sneaky good. Easy to miss as its in a strip mall that heads into a subdivision. Both the thin crust and pan slices are great. Crispy crust, flavorful cheese, and when you order toppings, they actually put enough on there! Sauce is slightly acidic but also very good. There lunch special of 2 slices and a drink is a great deal compared to other fast food joints these days. Note that this is a carry out place and there is no indoor seating, that why it got 4/5 stars for atmosphere. There is limited seating outside.“

“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.“

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

“The quality of the food and the level of excellence in the service make this one of our favorite pizzerias. They also have amazing salads and sandwiches. You must try this restaurant if you haven't. I highly recommend the Nonna's meatballs and Sicilian salad. Every pizza we've tried has been amazing.“

Wanted some deep dish and thin crust and they had both!

I was very pleased with the crust on both pizza, the sauce was yummy and lots of cheese just like I like it!!

- My bf complained the sauce had to much garlic… I on other other hand loved it“

“We love their sandwiches and their cheesy garlic bread is very good too!“

“This is the absolute best pizza in all of the Chicago Suburbs. It’s made fresh and if you dont mind a little wait you’ll love the taste. It’s not overly greasy and perfect in all the right ways. I do not eat pizza often but whenever I do, I only come here! Very true story.“

“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!!!“

“Just happened upon this place when searching for a place that had pizza. Turns put this place? Had all the pizza. Like literally want it thin? Ok. Want it thick? Sure. Literally a ton of different toppings and unlike other Normal pizza places that charge ridiculous fees for adding toppings? This place doesn't. They had salad too. And me and mum indulged in that too. I got greens with roasted garlic cloves, roasted red pepper, chickpeas, roasted broccoli, cucumber, shredded chicken, blue cheese and a balsamic dressing.“

“I love deep dish pizza and I love tavern style pizza. Marisa's pizza is somewhere in between. I ordered a large sausage pizza and requested the pizza to be sliced like a pie. What I ended up with is a pizza similar to New York style pizza except Marisa's pizza wasn't as soggy as New York style pizza. Overall, I think that it is a great pizza. I enjoyed the thickness of the crust and the cheese wasn't greasy. I noticed that they also sell pizza by the slice and they do not just sell them during lunch hours. My entire family enjoyed the pizza so we will definitely order from Marisa's again.“

“Update 3/2024: Ordered for delivery while in Illinois and the experience was just as great as the first time. The young woman who took our order was patient, kind and very accommodating. She read back our order for accuracy and totally nailed it. Delivery was fast and when it arrived it was delicious, hot, fresh and accurate! The delivery person delivered with a smile and an amazing personality.We enjoyed EVERY delectable morsel and this is definitely a "go to" spot for us when we visit the Northbrook, Illinois area. Highly recommend this establishment! They are delicious, affordable and consistent with the quality of food and customer service experience they offer.Thank you Sarpinos for yet another excellent experience!Original Review: Really enjoyed our experience with delivery from this restaurant. Nigel was very helpful and made great suggestions on items to order since it was our first order from them. Quality of the food was great and it was fresh and hot. Thank you!“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Nias hot slots and Pizzeria, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The combination of delicious pizza and thrilling casino games made for a memorable night out. The pizza was mouthwatering, with a perfect crust and a wide range of toppings to choose from. The casino had a great selection of games, and the atmosphere was lively and exciting. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Nia’s for anyone looking to savor some incredible pizza and have a little fun!!“

“Best pizza in town.“

“In from TX and the fam wanted pizza but i have gluten free and allergies in the crew, so the pizza and mexican food was an easy choice. We're in from TX so weren't expecting much from mex food at a pizza place. Y'all! The quessadillas and street tacos were excellent!“

“Excellent food and relaxed atmosphere…our new favorite place!“
