50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Lake Barrington

“We stopped in for a late lunch. Got really lucky and missed the lunch crowd. Our waitress, Michelle, only had 2 tables to help so she was able to provide great service and some great conversation as well. The food is incredible. Overall, an awesome experience. I'll definitely be back. When you go, ask for one of Michelle's tables. She's awesome!“

“We came tonight for the first time for my husband’s birthday. Food was so good. Service was excellent! The cook even came out to ask us how our food was. We will be back!“

“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back“

“Delicious pizza, loved the thin crust! Meatballs are so delish!! I will go back again and again! Highly recommended.“

“Best pizza in town hands down“

“What a great find in an ol’ familiar neighborhood! Great tasting thin crust pizza, with sausage and fresh veggies toppings. Excellent service too! You want somewhere to chill, simple atmosphere, out of the ‘beaten path’, … BJ’s Pizzeria it is!!“

“I recently visited a pizzeria in Palatine and was very pleased; they have the most delicious pizzas. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, always smiling. I especially want to mention the girl who was standing near the cash register, Anna – she was very friendly, polite, and helped me with my order. The service was top-notch.“

“Our family’s favorite pizza in Barrington. Always great food!“

“We went to Woodfire for my birthday. The food and service is excellent. Vicki was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The food is so fresh and homemade. The pizza crust is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is an assortment of types of pizza, but the cheese pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is rich and delicious. It’s cooked perfectly and the vodka sauce is amazing. The appetizers, home brewed beer, and desserts are phenomenal too. Step aside Coopers Hawk, I have a new favorite restaurant!“

“Great Fox river supper club with a bar next to their dock. We ate this evening and Rachael was our server. What a great server that added to our delicious food! We highly recommend Kiefs and ask for Rachael as your server. You won't be disappointed!“

“You can bring dog. Fast and good service.“

“Absolutely delicious pizza, apps and dessert!! Very helpful when planning a lacrosse team dinner for CG. Jill and her team are wonderful to work with!!“

“It's been over two weeks since my family and I visited The Polish American Bistro. It would be remiss of me not to leave a wonderful review of this lovely restaurant! Ania and Darek, the owners, are the nicest and most hospitable people ever! Since I have family in Poland, it was fun to talk to them about their homeland. Now about their food . . . it's completely amazing! I ordered galumpki (ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage). The tomato sauce on top was so delicious, it spun circles around the sauce my grandma used to make (sorry, Grandma!)! My husband ate a breaded pork cutlet with mashed potatoes. SO tasty! And my daughter opted for a cheeseburger that looked and tasted so great that we even returned the next day to order another cheeseburger to go! Our entrees were accompanied by a side of two types of salad - one made of marinated red cabbage, and the other was their super delectable authentic Polish sour cream, cucumbers and dill. As you can tell, our dinner itself was a 5-star experience. Last but not least, I must discuss their DESSERTS! When you walk into Ania and Darek's restaurant, your eyes will immediately be drawn to their multi-tier display of desserts. Unfortunately, since our stomachs were full after our delicious dinner, we couldn't even think of dessert. However, take-home was still an option! So I asked Ania to escort me to the dessert case and tell me about her sweet treats. It turns out she owns a bakery in another suburb, and all the desserts are made on location at the bakery FROM SCRATCH! So we took a few home (see photo), ate them the next evening, and they did not disappoint! I loved them all, especially the vanilla custard inside the eclair and fruit tart! The chocolately hazelnut dessert was a Kinder Bueno torte. I want to go back and try more of these amazing treats! You should really go check out The Polish American Bistro, whether or not you are Polish! They have food for everyone. Dziękuję Ania and Darek!“

“Tonight we held a work meeting and ordered 2 family trays, everyone was working so hard when I picked up my order, even a little early, and they were all so friendly, helpful and this food was delicious! Thank you for doing such a great job for us!!“

“Great food, great prices.“

“Great pizza, great service!“

“So I hosted a super bowl party.I had to go get a couple pizzas.The manager (marz)there.I forgot his name but he was outstanding with the service and the assignment of trying to assist me of making my super Bowl party flawless. If you have any parties or catering, you need to stop at this place.They take care of you like you family....“

“Always a great meal! The pizzas are amazing and so are the salads. A must for everyone.“

“I absolutely love Pizza Bella! Hands down my favorite pizza in all of Chicagoland! (yes, I said it and it's true) Overjoyed with Tony's new restaurant!!.... Great service, atmosphere, friday night was packed so come early! Evey inch of the menu is fantastic, and huge portions! True Italian love!“

“Wonderful friendly staff and great pizza, the wings were also excellent. Great draft beer choices too!“

“Got the gyros and onion rings with Cajun ranch. Wife got a grilled chicken sandwich. We went at 6:30 on a Saturday. Food was hot and tasty, ready to try the pizza next time. The service was fast and friendly. They have lots of staff working for them.“

“One of my favorite places in Cary. Great owner, super nice and a great business man. I have tried a few different dishes from here and am obsessed with their caprese salad, chopped salad, buffalo chicken wrap, and their cauliflower crust pizza. They have delivery and also pickup. Their fruit when in season is super fresh and I honestly cant even find that fresh at a grocery store. Sometimes I drive 20 minutes to pick up their super fresh caprese salad and fruit side. Definitely recommend giving this place a shot if you haven't already!!! By far one of my favorite go to in Cary!“

“Great Chicago deep dish pizza which I miss a lot!!“

“First time trying Tony V’s Pizzeria. The thin crust supreme was delicious! 😋 It had just the right amount of ingredients on it. I would highly recommend this place!“

“When I ordered my pizza the man on the phone was super kind, he listened to what I needed and let me know in advance that there would be a delay on delivery. When I called back to upgrade my order he was kind about it and updated what I needed. Our pizza came hot fresh and delicious.“

“No wonder this place has been around for 30 years. No gimmick oven, no fancy waters glasses. Barrington is full of fake pizza places were youll leave hungry everytime. This place is about pizza, value and great service.“

“Great old time tavern to have a drink and some eats. Friendly folks and good service“

“We have been going to this amazing spot since they opened. Last night just solidified how awesome this place is. We rented out the upstairs area for a party and it was an epic time up there! The staff and food were beyond unbelievable. I highly recommend there party rooms and highly recommend Sarah! I can’t thank this place enough on how amazing our party was due to them and their care of our guests!“

“Village is always a must for us. We love the atmosphere and the vibes everytime we come, Dan is the best“

“We love Rosati's of Lakemoor! Their thin crust pizza is delicious, they have great wings, and their salads are large and fresh....all the food we've ordered is really consistent. We especially love their pizza sausage—true Chicago style! We usually don't eat inside the restaurant, but the carry out service and delivery service is always on time. Highly recommend this Rosati's location!“

“definitely! pizza amazing! employees enjoy their job and customers can see that. high quality of food. portion sizes are huge, Delicious and worth it. our team loves to go above and beyond for each customer, catering to every customer. will not disappoint 😁“

“We hosted an end of the season tackle football banquet for 50 people in the party room at JJ Twig’s in Wauconda tonight. Tiffany was a dream to work with — super responsive, accommodating, and had great insight into just how much food to order. The party room was the perfect private venue that allowed our rambunctious group of 10 year old boys some space to roam without disturbing other diners. Food was good — we ordered pizzas, baked mostaccioli, meatballs, chicken tenders and salad. Compared to other local venues we considered, JJ Twig’s is a real value. Along with the good food and great service, JJ Twig’s is the full package!“

“Jack and Sean and the while team are family friendly and have always made my time there awesome! Oh by the way they also have helped me grow the sport of Arm Wrestling by allowing me to host tournaments at thier venue! Look out for info on the next event March 28th 2026! Arm Wrestling starts at 130pm but come early for some phenomenal FOOD!!!“

“Giordano’s in Lake Zurich never disappoints. Whether we dine in or do carry out, the experience is consistently smooth. Orders are ready on time, the food is always hot and fresh, and the quality never misses. You really can’t go wrong here. This ownership clearly gets it right. No complaints whatsoever. As always, we’ll be back.“

“the foid was good the bartenders friendly, on the spot and gave service with a smile! band was great! dance floor tight tho.“

“I have been ordering from here for years. Great service, great food, prepared fast, and a clean store. But my favorite thing of all is Danielle, the manager! She is so friendly and always remembers me. Thanks for making me feel special, even when I'm just grabbing some pizza!“

“Pizza snob here. I have been a pizza fiend since TMNT in the 80s. It’s not easy to move into my top 5 favorite pizza places and Nancy has moved to my number one favorite pizza!
We get their deep dish with cheese. Yum!! Everything is on point! The sauce has the perfect amount of sweetness and is not too bold. It’s just right. The blend of cheeses they use is perfect.
Now I feel many deep dishes struggle to have a good crust. Sometimes places make it too thick or too crunchy or too dry, and eating the cornicione becomes a chore. But this isn’t the case with Nancy’s.
The pizza is pricey, but check those coupons that come in the mail. Usually there is a coupon for a certain percentage off on Monday and Tuesday .“

“Pizza was fantastic!!! We will be ordering again!!!“

“We were at a food truck event and saw Kurbside Pizza and Panini! When we went to order a delicious sounding panini (Pear and Prosciutto), turns out it was supposed to be a pizza… They wanted to try to make it into a panini as they hadn’t done it before. We were SO GRATEFUL they did because it was one of the most delicious (and beautiful) panini sandwiches we have had! The food ratio of the ingredients was just right, the large panini bread was toasted perfectly and melted as you took a bite—including the crust that is typically very hard from other restaurants. I would have never thought to combine those ingredients together, but the combination was tasty! They used very fresh ingredients as well, including generous slices of the pear. We highly recommend Kurbside Pizza and Panini! PS—how cute is this truck as well with the pizza wings? Amazing experience! 💖“

“Best pizza and wings out there! Always fast and hot delivery!“

“I’m not typically one to issue 5 star reviews. However, Buddy’z was on their A game on the night of 10/16/2025 and helped the wife and I celebrate our anniversary with two very tasty pizzas. We ordered a deep dish and a thin crust, both sausage, for delivery. Both pizzas were fantastic, had plenty of toppings, great taste, and they arrived quickly, despite having ordered a deep dish. It was actually a little nostalgic calling up a pizza place and placing an order. Not like these corporate pizza places that want everything done online via some Terminator on judgement day taking your order. Better yet? The woman who answered the phone knew what she was doing. I didn’t get the person on day 2 that was left alone on her own to hopefully survive.

I worked food service for almost 20 years in pizza so I know that everything just clicked last night. Now the only question that remains is consistency! Keep it up! We will see!

It all just gelled and it helped our anniversary be a great one.

Thanks buddyz. You’ll be seeing us again.“

“Celebrated with family and couldn't believe the SPECTACULAR birthday treat! While most restaurants are cutting back, this Rosati's in Hoffman Estates TREATED us with a huge dessert! Enough for all to enjoy! And their daily specials are the best. Our server Kaitlyn was so thoughtful and made us feel so welcome. Don't miss out on this hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“Just wanted to give a shout out to Sweet Melissa’s tonight!
Our usual guy there, Erik, let us know they were short staffed tonight and busier than usual but they still knocked it out of the park
Pizza was piping hot, both he and the bartender still came to check and bus as needed
Always 5“

“This is my third visit to Aliano’s.

Me and my six besties from childhood dined at Aliano’s this past Thursday evening. We were seated in the enclosed outside area, which was perfect for our group.

Our server was fun and very attentive, but not pushy. We were also assisted by another server throughout our evening and she was wonderful, as well.

Our food was very delicious, hot, well prepared and the specials were not the typical Italian fare found at other restaurants.

I had the lamb chops. These were not the baby lamb chops often found elsewhere. These were very nice sized chops and were absolutely delicious. I didn’t eat all of my meal and reheated the leftovers for dinner the next evening. They were even better!!!!

The only thing I would improve on is the sharpness of the steak knives. They are definitely dull, at least the one I had, and could use a sharpening.

Great job on a very fun and memorable evening!“

“We ordered take out! Pizza was very tasting with quality sausage and pepperoni. Between my wife and I, the calzone was absolutely incredible. The perfect amount of dough accompanied with a heavy amount of cheese. Will definitely be ordering again!“

“Great tasting sausage pizza. Sausage was meaty and not like those dingle berry sausages you get from the cheap places. We get it lightly cooked and it’s sooooooo good that way!! Professional customer service interaction over phone and pretty quick delivery. A++“

“We had the pleasure to dine here multiple times. Best Pizza we have had. Owners and staff are very friendly. Hope to get there again someday!“

“Great people great service“

“We came here got a beefs a burger and fries. The fries were old and super salty. & the burger was very plain and dry. Usually I don’t complain about the food because I been coming here for years but it just wasn’t good at all this time.“

“best place ever. Chuck is the goat.“
