50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Hometown

“My favorite place for deep dish“

“oh my goodness I found this pizza by chance at my local Meijer. Hands down best frozen pizza or any take and bake. The sausage was delightful and the Cheese was The Cheesiest ever it actually did the cheese stretch. Great Job it doesn't deserve the Bottom shelf“

“The food was excellent. We were a party of 6 and everyone had something different. Portion sizes were large. Food was piping hot when served. Wait staff was friendly. The owner came over to check on our group at least twice during our dining experience. Loved the atmosphere. I will come here every time I’m visiting Chicago!“

“New location good pizza and very friendly“

“I heard a lot about this place through out the years! I have tried to stop in but for 1 reason or another it was closed so let’s dive into this review. Incredible Fantastic Phenomenal Amazing Spectacular Food! Freddy’s is the Famiglia on Holidays and your Nona’s and Zia’s all cooking pumping out hot fresh delicious food from all the Kitchens
(typically 2 in most Italian households 1 upstairs and 1 in bashement) lol 😂
Freddy’s is like I went back to 1990’s St.Calistus St.Joseph’s table. Stop in the Food Service and Establishment all live up to its promises. You can not have a bad meal here.

“I always loved beggers but last night pizza was nothing to like. it was thin and anemic. not the beggars I'm used to. It was like anybody else's pizza. the reason we love beggars is because they lay it on thick. This wasn't even close to being thick. Has something changed cause? If it has, I'll go get pizza from anywhere else.Cause that's what this tasted like. This was dyer“

“I just did a catering order for 250 people at a company event yesterday. The food was delivered on time and everyone loved it. This is a great place to consider for catering.“

“We live towards the Rockford, Il area but never ever miss an opportunity to visit. I get the Italian beef pizza and my friend gets the polish sausage and sour kraut pizza. TO DIE FOR!!! Love love love ❤️“

“A Chicagoan recommended I take the pink line to 18th for this best ever pizza. With crunchy thin crust and an unexpectedly large serving size, it was piping hot and topped with tons of cheese and a generous amounts of sausage and hot honey. Mmmmm!

The horchata was the creamiest ever. The service was kind and helpful and the playlist was straight out of my neighborhood in the 90s. Made for a wonderful meal with lots of memories. Make sure to follow up with a visit to the National Museum of Mexican Art just across the street. Great people, great food, all around fun.“

“pizza pete has some of the best pizza ive had and great costumer service my pizza was done real quick and hot n ready🙌🏼“

“I was visiting Chicago and stumbled upon this place looking for a quick bite for lunch. It was so good I went back two more times, and brought friends on the subsequent visits. Nothing fancy, just a great giant slice of Chicago style thin crust pizza and friendly staff. Not only that, it's priced great -- two slices and two drink for $15. They have some tables so you can eat in. Would definitely go back on my next visit and would definitely recommend.“

“We just moved into the neighborhood & was excited to try Roots. The cheese sticks were the best. Dorian was our waiter. He was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He suggested the Bbq pizza. It was so good! Our experience could not have been better ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had a group of 7 and our server was so attentive, answering all of our questions and all the recommendations were on point. He was very helpful with a nut allergy. The pizza was delicious as well as the lasagna. The lemon sorbet was just the right amount of sweet and tart. We will definitely be back.“

“First time trying some Chicago deep dish and it was great. Got a medium custom pizza and it was a little expensive, but we had enough for leftovers the next day. The quality made the price worth it as the pizza was cheesy and all the toppings were fresh. Also was a nice experience having a beer and waiting for the pizza. Would recommend!“

“Came here with boyfriend, very friendly woman, made sure if we did or didn't want our pizzas cut, repeated order to make sure everything was ok, and made a joke about guessing which pop was which (pepsi/root beer). I wish we remembered her name but she would know if she seen this 😉😊“

“Great place, great people, family run business, everything made fresh to order.“

“Bridgette is the best!! Great food, great service, great atmosphere!! 12/10 recommend!!“

“We LOVE ❤️ Milly’s meticulously hand crafted pizza! You can absolutely taste the love and care that goes into their food-well worth the wait to experience this deliciousness!! Keep up the great work we’re customers for life!“

“😋👍🏼 Great little find! Awesome pizza & tasty fries“

“Had the best Bbq chicken pizza. Highly recommend Rosatis. Pizza made fast and fresh“

“Fantastic food, service & staff as always. Always going above & beyond for ya“

“Pepperoni and sausage pizza 🔥🙌🏽“

“Bad customer service. Managers had an attitude after they messed up my order.“

“If you want some semi fast Italian fare, go here. Sure, it's not gourmet, but it's priced accordingly. They always have coupons going and my orders are always ready when I get there. Open a bit later on the weekends, which is nice.“

“First time here an the staff was beyond amazing an very chill an relaxing atmosphere for dine in . The pizza was amazing with a great selection for vegan pizza as well an most definitely coming back again !“

“Found this little gem after a nearby hike. Small little spot but big on flavor. Had the wings and the Forget About It pizza. Both were outstanding in flavor and value. Will definitely be back again next time we are in the area. Service was also attentive and very friendly. Thanks for the great lunch!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !!!“

“2nd time here. Very busy at noon time. Popular place. Parking was difficult since so busy. I also want to commend the employee, a young tall black man, who went out of his way to hold the door open for a disabled person in a chair and their family member. I shook his hand and thanked him and gave him the recognition he deserved for his kindness towards them. Little acts like these show we can still show respect to one another no matter who we are or where we are.“

“Just had their steak (carne asada) tacos! Absolutely fantastic! The green salsa is on point! Very generous on the size of their tacos. I'm extremely picky when it comes to getting tacos in fact I only like my tacos from one or two taco places in all of Chicago. This is my first time coming here and this spot just got added to my small list. I will most definitely stop by this place whenever I'm around this area. Thank you for the great food! May God bless you with more business.“

“We love your pizzeria and bar! Colleen was an amazing server! The food is delicious!“

“Seen a FB post about it a Wed/Thur deal and the food looked good. I lived in Lyons for about 4 years and never heard about this spot until now. And definitely well worth it. Customer excellent and food delicious. Even w/o the sale price I truly believe this pizza is worth the value. This shall be our new go to!!! 1/4 of the pizza didn’t make it home🔥🔥🤫“

“Best restaurant in Chicago ! ❤️“

“The location is great, service is great and the pizza hasn’t changed. Same great taste. Must try the tomato tortellini soup“

“These guys have been on my list for a while and it was worth the wait. THIS IS PIZZA. Bridgeport phils still has my heart but this place just bumped into the 2/3 spot for me. TOP 3 Chicago pizzeria.

Crust: this is what did it for me. The crust was a perfect thickness and kept its structure/ crisp throughout the whole pizza

Sauce: they’re cooking down their own sauce I believe. It’s got a touch of that fresh tomato sweetness. Nothing over powering, just a great classic sauce

Sausage/cheese: high quality Battaglia products. Traditional cheese blend and good sausage. Nothing crazy in this category but definitely brings their pizza together

DONT SLEEP ON ROSANGELAS!“

“I have been coming here since the 70’s. The food is amazing. The Phil’s special is great! I just tried their breaded steak sandwich it was awesome! If you never had one you are missing out on a great sandwich! Thank you so much for adding this to your menu!“

“Just saw them/the owners on “world’s strictest parents”. I respect the owner & his family. My condolences to the loss of their son. I lost a sibling to addiction as well and I know how hard it can be. I’m excited to stop in and try their pizza(s) mos def support this family & their business. Good Godly ppl that also cook for the local nuns.🙏🕉️🙏“

“It was my first time here, Liz was very helpful with helping me choose my food and drink . I love how she’s running the bar and her tables so smoothly. Also i really enjoyed the atmosphere and it was nice to see the way everybody was being helpful with each other. I will be back!“

“Great food great service good atmosphere“

“Took a drive up with my girl to Oh Boy, Worth, IL. Ended up having a piznic at nearnby Swallow Cliffs where she used to go toboggan when she was a kid.
Rookie mistake ordering 2 mediums on 1/2 price Tuesday. (Only applies to family size on up)
Sausage and Pepperoni and a Veggie. Both were pretty good. Savory sauce. 7.5/10“

“DOMINOS BETTER GO OUT OF BUSINESS. First time trying this place and let me tell you… RUN TO THIS PLACE! By far the best pizza ever. Went here on an empty stomach. Left there as a happy camper. Very impressed. Truly a hidden gem. Finally a pizza that’s halal and delicious. I’m definitely coming back! Yay!! The negative reviews need to stop. First of all they are clearly trying to fix mistakes bc no business is perfect 2nd they will improve if you just give them a chance. Chill out! I definitely recommend this place.“

“The majority of the staff was excellent, very pleasant, friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Unfortunately, I seemed to get the one server who was not. He appeared to be resentful about receiving a solo diner. When I asked him about what cider was on the menu, he told me that it was angry orchard, which wasn't on the menu. It only showed Vander Mill Cider, seasonal variations. When I pointed this out and asked what kind, he replied that yes, they had cider. I stared at him and then he asked me if I'd like him to go check and see what kind they had. I told him yes.
Upon his return, he advised that it was their standard hard apple. I then asked him how the gluten-free pizza was. He hadn't had it, but said that people seemed to like it and ordered it. So I ordered a water, the hard cider, and a thin crust gluten free pizza with pepperoni and sausage. He returned with my water, dropped it off, and left without a word. The bartender (or another server), who was very sweet, brought me my cider. The cider was very pleasantly dry and not terribly sweet.
After about half an hour, another sweet lady brought me an AMAZING pizza. It was absolutely incredible, loaded with toppings, and cooked to perfection, leaving the crust crisp and not undergone. I was surprised that it was cut into squares, but that made no difference to me. Side note... the cider was a PERFECT match for pizza.
At about 2 squares in, a HUGE party was seated next to me for my server. It became very noisy and he didn't return until I was halfway thru my meal. He... expressed surprise that I had my food??
I finished my pizza and waited a VERY long time for my check. It was long enough that the table busser came and collected the dishes from my table. When the server returned, I told him that I'd like my check. He brought out a credit machine, told me my total and held out his hand for my card. I had to ask him to SHOW ME my bill!? I then paid and left.
Overall? Great restaurant and food, but the experience was less than stellar. I'll definitely return, but that particular server (James G from my check) won't be waiting on me again.“

“Best pizza slices around!“

“I've gone to Vinces for over 20 years, and I can honestly say it never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, you feel like part of the family. You are always greeted with a smiling face and the smells alone will keep you coming back for more. The pizza here is consistently incredible. Perfectly thin crust, just the right amount of sauce, and loaded with toppings that can fit any craving. With the number of years, I have been visiting, I have tried almost everything on the menu from their pizza to their pastas to their appetizers and I keep on going back. I have even hosted parties that have said the same. Not often you find a place that keeps tradition alive with the highest quality, but Vinces makes it happen every day. See everyone soon. Thank you Vinces you are a neighborhood treasure.“

“We ordered the Ciprianis Special stuffed pizza, baked meat ravioli, garden salad with creamy garlic and cannoli's for pick up. The customer service was great and the food was ready when promised. Now let's get to the food. Amazing crust on the stuffed pizza with tons of ingredients which tasted fresh and not a slice was left after the whole pizza was devoured by myself and the crew. The baked ravioli with cheese on top was also fantastic! Their garden salad had everything a garden salad should including radishes and the cannolis had a crunchy shell with tasty filling. I was 100% satisfied with my order and will definitely be coming back. Thanks Ciprianis!“

“I really have enjoyed your pizza. But the past few times ordered no so much. There is way tooooo much fennel seeds in the sausage. Actually over powering the sausage taste.“

“Greatest spot around for lunch or dinner, they have something for everybody, and it’s clean and modern inside. Pizza is 🔥 Awesome staff!“

“My only complaint is I’m mad I just found out about this place. We ordered a sausage pizza, it’s right up there in my top 5 best pizza’s. It’s very well seasoned and they don’t skimp on the sausage. Delicious pizza, Friendly costumer service , and the price wasn’t bad at all. My husband loved it too and he’s very hard to please when it comes to pizza. We will definitely be becoming regular customers.“

“So this place has two types of gluten free pizza, I'll admit I only had one. It is delicious!!! The gluten free pizza is an individual one, it looks small, but even when I am starving I have a hard time finishing it. Every time I call for pick up, it's ready when they say. Everyone is always super nice. The atmosphere is clean and bright, but it is literally just for picking up, no dining in. Again since I can't have gluten this is my go to place now.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crust and gluten free cauliflower crust individual pizzas.“
