50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Lake Bluff

“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!“

“My third visit has cemented my opinion of Half & Half Pizza. The staff at every visit have been helpful, friendly and professional. The pizza is outstanding, I have tried three different pizzas with their classic crust. Very consistent with flavor, cook and quality of ingredients. The wings should not be overlooked as well. Excited for my next visit.“

“First time trying Highly recommended“

“Absolutely love this restaurant. We had brought a tray of lasagna to a party years ago and had nothing but rave reviews. We moved down to FL 7 years ago so it’s been awhile since we have been able to eat here. We bought another tray of lasagna this weekend for a party. Let me tell you…it was so delicious! We are still hearing people rave about it and hope it brings new customers your way. Your GF ravioli was awesome as well. Great food, wonderful customer service, cute restaurant. Now we just need a location opened in SWFL! We will be back and we will always highly recommend this place. Thank you!“

“Our pizza arrived quickly and cooked perfectly. We love Maciano’s! They used the best ingredients-quality cheese, great crust and the Italian sausage is wonderful!!“

“Nicko! Nicko did an amazing job! He was the only one waiting tables at a pretty busy time and did an amazing job taking care of everyone! Food was very good and came out quickly! The tiramisu was more or a tiramisu cake but was still delicious!“

“Good thin crust and good ingredients, cooked perfect“

“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.“

“Louie's is the best place to eat in Waukegan. Great Italian food, thin crust pizza, fried chicken and fish. Everything is great. They give you the best bread hot from the oven when you sit down. Huge bar. Family friendly. You can't go wrong at this place.“

“My favorite pizza in the area! Gluten-free friendly, amazing food and even better service. I had a large pickup order today for myself and my family and when I arrived the kitchen manager came out to describe that they had to restart one of the pizzas, offering to let me go now with the rest of my order - plus the messup free for extra snackage - and that he would come deliver the remake himself in a bit so I didn’t have to wait. The entire staff was so friendly, kind and accommodating during the pickup and communication process. If you haven’t had Kaisers, what’re ya doin??“

“Our group of 8 planned a mtg at Lou's at 6pm. The general dining room was very, very noisy! Upon inquiring if there was a quieter space; the Manager, Dion, went Above & Beyond to move us to a private area. Fortunately it was available. Yet, it was all because of Dion that this happened! He even helped carry our waters, drinks, etc. He made certain we were happily situated in this new space. His attitude (on a very busy night at Lou's) was fantastic!!!! Kudos to Dion!! I hope Lou's in Buffalo Grove knows what a huge impact this had on our visit last night - all because of Dion! Thank you Dion!“

“Delicious Mexican food and creative cuisine.“

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

“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!!“

“Quonset pizza is the only pizza you need.“

“Great pizza! Timely delivery.“

“Simply amazing for the last 15 years running!“

“We held a family funeral lunch at Lino’s. The staff was welcoming, attentive and very friendly as they took care of our party, which filled their banquet room. We had a couple of chicken dishes, a couple of vegetable dishes, a garden salad, potatoes, and cannoli for dessert. Our guests raved about the food, which was delicious and hot! We could not be more enthusiastic in our recommendation of Lino‘s!“

“One of the best pizzas in Lake County. Great atmosphere with plenty of seats for all the good games. Plus the slots and darts boards its definitely difficult to leave after 1 drink!!“

“Stopped by with my daughter for lunch. The bartender Ashley was prompt in coming to the table and starting us with some drinks. The attentive service continued throughout the meal. Cheese fries were hot, crispy, and well seasoned. Smash Burger was juicy and prepared correctly. Chicago Dog on point, and the Italian Beef’s beef to bread ratio was perfect. Get it with cheese and giardiniera.“

“By far our favorite neighborhood place to go! We are pretty close and take out often. The gyro and chicken gyro are phenomenal, along with the chicken Philly and burgers. I truly don't think we have had anything sub-par. But even better, is the price. Especially for the quality of the food, the price point keeps up coming back over and over.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The staff was so sweet to my little one who chose to have his 7th birthday family dinner here out of any restaurant!! We got 5 different pizzas and the birthday not got his favorite... MOD style, reg sauce, dairy free cheese, mushrooms, tomato slices, plant based crumble, and... Oh yeah... Extra cheese!! Thanks MOD! Felix is your biggest fan!!“

“I had the California burger and it was literally the best burger I ever had. 10 out of 19,would eat here again.“

“Great, authentic Italian cuisine. Never disappoints.“

“Great Customer service and Quick deliver! Pizza was really good as well!“

“This is a solid pizza joint. I’ve ordered delivery 4-5 times. Good ingredients, speedy delivery and consistent results. Plus the delivery guy is a nice guy and seems genuinely proud of the pizza. I compare it to to Rosatis, but I like this better, and that’s with zero shade. In conclusion… if Jimanos is in your neighborhood hood, you should give it a chance. Ps the BLT Pizza was awesome. I feel like I invented it in 2002… But immediately thought it was better than the one I made. Only complaint… Too much bacon. But then I say that out loud and it sounds stupid. You can’t complain about too much bacon. That’s dumb. Everything that was supposed to be crisp was crisp and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot. Almost like a McDLT…“

“We had drinks and dinner at Mundelein restaurant on Saturday 10/5/24. We didn’t have reservations so we ate at the bar. It was all excellent! Friendly staff and the bartender made an excellent Margarita! Will be going back“

“Great food at a good price can't beat it. Hot and ready and on time we ordered it five stars to these guys.“

“I can't thank Erica and her staff enough. We had a large outdoor group. They ran to get table clothes to make the tables look nice. Service was awesome and kind. First visit not our last. Much appreciated.“

“Great place to get dinner for the family.“

“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 :)“

“Very clean and kids love it. We will definitely be back.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“This is the second year I've ordered a pizza dinner for my autistic son's birthday; he lives in a home at a developmental center with other special needs men, about an hour away from me. It was so refreshing to be able to place the order easily and directly when other local pizza places wouldn't deliver to the Center or made it difficult and Door Dash, no help there! Thank you and I won't forget again where to order a pizza treat for the guys in his home!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best pizza in town.“

“I am a tour director in Chicago. My company booked Giordanos on Belmont for 2 bus loads of high school students at 6pm. We unexpectedly got there at 5pm! Luis and his team were able to seat and serve us in short order. Thank you Luis and team. Giordanos pizza is the best!“

“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!“

“We had fun for retirement party.“

“Honestly, this was amazing pizza. We had the Chicken Tikka and wasn't too sure how it would taste but it was actually really good! I would recommend it to anyone. The owner really cared for what he put out and man he did not disappoint.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“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“

“The pizzeria offers incredibly delicious pizza prepared very quickly on thin crust dough. You can choose your own toppings and sauces, which is a fantastic feature. The service is fast, and the interior design is beautiful and stylish, creating a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great pizza experience!“
