50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Highwood

“We were 4 adults. We ordered a margarita pizza and a sausage pizza. They came out together but the margarita pizza was really cold. It clearly had be sitting a long time waiting for the sausage which was very hot. We told the waitress and she promptly ordered a replacement but it took 15-20 minutes to arrive. The beer and cocktails were fine. The pizza is actually excellent. The service was good.“

“This place is an absolute gem! I just got home from an amazing work event they helped throw, and I can’t say enough good things. From the management, to the bartenders, to everyone I interacted with…so helpful and fun. I also heard so many comments about how good all of the food was. Their pizzas are homemade! They make their own seltzers! They will play your playlist :) I could go on & on! Just very accommodating and exactly what we needed. I would recommend them to anyone throwing an event or looking for some really good pizza. They also have a really cute patio. 5 stars! I forgot, their pricing is incredibly reasonable too :)“

“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.“

“We dine at or pick up from Cansino's all the time. The pizza is good. The Mexican food is great. My kids love the Amerivan food (mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, etc.). Fernando and Alfredo are terrific people. Give them a shot.“

“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“

“Good thin crust and good ingredients, cooked perfect“

“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!!“

“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 :)“

“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 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.“

“The Pizza is the BEST PIZZA I HAVE HAD IN YEARS! I had to put it in all caps because it tastes so fresh and the ingredients are amazing. Hands down you always see bad Reviews so I had to give this a 5 star because hats off to the owner for keeping quality a thing of your business for 2024. I appreciate you!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Was staying at a hotel near by and ordered on Uber eats ?

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 visited Pizza by Sal for the first time yesterday after hearing great things from our neighbors, and overall, it was a positive experience. The food was good, and we’d definitely order from here again.

We started with the chicken tenders, which were indeed tender—we could have gone for seconds. For the pizza, we opted for cheese, sausage, and mushrooms. It was enjoyable, though we think calling it NY style is a bit of a stretch; most wouldn’t notice unless they’re from NY like us. The pie was tasty, but it felt a bit salty, possibly due to the cheese or sauce. The crust was thin and foldable, striking a balance between crispy and soft.

We’re giving 4 stars for a couple of reasons. While the service was quick at first, it slowed down significantly when we waited about 20-30 minutes for our pizza. Our waiter seemed to forget about us, so we had to remind him.

Additionally, the prices felt high—$29 for a 16" pie with two toppings seemed steep, likely due to the "Wilmette effect." They claim to use high-quality ingredients, but inflation plays a role as well.

Lastly, the noise level increased significantly once families arrived with kids running around and using the arcade machines. We suggest the owners consider adding sound-absorbing materials to improve the dining experience. It doesn’t need to be silent, but a quieter atmosphere would be nice. Overall, it’s a place we’d return to, especially if they address these issues.

Parking: Park on the street, where you can find a spot. Double-check the signs.“

“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!!“

“Great place to get dinner for the family.“

“Awesome and we enjoy the food“

“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.“

“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“
