“First time trying Highly recommended“

“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??“

“We were visiting Chicago area and tried out the Silo. We had the pan pizza and it was cooked to perfection. Tried their long Island iced tea was impressed one of the best I've had. It was our family of three, our server was just wonderful. No wait, loved the decor. Such a cozy spot we would definitely return if we're ever back in the area“

“We order from here 1-3 times a week for lunch at my shop and dinner at home. The food is always fantastic, delivery is fast and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We've also gotten catering before too and that service was fantastic. Night driver Scott is awesome too!“

“There’s nothing better than Lou’s! So accommodating for large groups and excellent service! We came for a college send off and the food, like always, is outstanding! Perfect send-off until they return Thanksgiving! ❤️“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“Best pizza, and a good price“

“I have been going there for 60 years and it is still the very best. You order it with double sausage and what ever else you like on it and don't forget to order it well done. Everyone I take there said it is one of the best pizzas they ever had.“

““Barnaby’s of Northbrook delivers that Neighbor Proof–level consistency with real local trust that Northern Illinois families have counted on for decades.” The food comes out hot, the service is steady, and the atmosphere feels like a true community anchor. Their pizza has that classic, reliable flavor you expect every single time, and the team moves with the kind of confidence that only comes from years of doing things the right way. It’s the kind of place where you see real stories play out — families, regulars, and neighbors all sharing the same dependable experience. A Northbrook staple that continues to earn its reputation.“

“Ordered pizza on Deville’s new online ordering system and I would say it’s the best one I’ve used. It was clear, simple and they had thought through every option you might want to customize. They even broke it down to whole pizza or one side and the other. Simple payment and estimated pick up time. Well done, Deville.“

“You will not go wrong with Jester's pizza, thin-double decker All so delicious! A variety of hearty sandwiches to choose from and not to mention the homemade Soups and Chili. Thursdays are my favorite - TACO DAY!! The friendly staff will be happy to see you!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is our family's favorite restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries, dinners with large groups...At this point we've been here probably 10 times and never once have we had a bad experience. Every server goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a WOW experience. The food and drinks are amazing every time. Last night we decided to try somewhere new since we just ate at Primo the previous weekend. The prices were the same yet the service and food did not compare. From now on we'll stick with here, where we know we'll have an amazing experience.“

“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 :)“

“The wait is lengthy but SO WORTH IT. This is literally the best pizza I've ever had, and I've been to Italy. 😆 the gentleman making our food was so attentive and you can tell he put his heart into the food. We had the pesto pizza and wings and both were 🔥🔥🔥 I will drive an hour to go here again!“

“Went here after I graduated because my parents spoke highly of them! Everything was perfect from the fries, burger, and milkshakes! It's one of those small restaurants that actually have great food which is rare. Highly recommend if you're in town“

“We celebrated our kid’s birthday at MOD Pizza (Fountain Square) and absolutely loved the service from all the staff members. The pizzas were delicious, and the kids had an amazing time. A special thanks to Angie for organizing everything so well and for the thoughtful goodies that the kids truly enjoyed.“

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

“Something new in the Mall food court! Staff is so friendly and talkative, love them! They have truly great selection of unordinary pizzas. You have to try ordering from the menu! Ready slices are good, but freshly made mouthwatering pizza is so much better. I tried pear pizza, was very impressive, chef's creation, but my best favorite is vegetarian pizza. Will be back soon. 👌“

“This restaurant is beautiful inside with chandeliers and nice tables and chairs I really enjoyed the fried calamari we had as a appetizer. The Lasagna is wonderful! The cannolis are so delicious too! Antonio our server was outstanding and goes out of his way to make it a enjoyable experience. Thank you Salvatore for your kindness! I highly recommend them for a delicious dinner!“

“Best pizza in town.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

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

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

“If you’re looking for a fantastic place with great value and delicious food, you’ve come to the right spot! MOD has amazing salads and perfect pizzas, plus endless toppings without any extra charge. Kids under 12 can enjoy free meals on Sundays. The Mod Squad is friendly, helpful, and always puts the customer first. The restaurant is well-managed, and the food is fresh and delicious.“

“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…“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Had a great experience at Rosati’s Pizza in Vernon Hills! The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and everything came out fresh and quick. A special shoutout to Jay for being such a friendly and attentive server. He made our visit even better. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“Ok walking up you knew it was going to be something special. You walk up to this grand outdoor double sided fireplace beautiful. Then there beautiful outside that covers the wall to the right of the fireplace in the courtyard, most likely used for outside events. Not to mention there’s a space in the back that can open its doors to the courtyard. This place has so many different things to look at and we didn’t even get inside yet. Let me just say it’s beautiful in there takes your breath away, from the crystals and velvet it’s sultry sexy dark vibe. It’s giving classy Rat pack or the Great Gatsby type of vibes, you’ll definitely understand when you’re there. The drinks,, food (Brick Oven Pizza),, the people, delish, and unforgettable….“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. This pizzeria is the definition of quality and care from the very first bite to the very last. You can immediately tell how fresh everything is — from the dough that’s clearly made fresh daily, to the vibrant, flavorful sauce that tastes like it’s crafted from the ripest tomatoes, to the cheese that’s so fresh it practically melts in your mouth. Every ingredient bursts with authenticity and flavor, and it all comes together in the most perfect pizza you could ask for.

On top of the amazing food, the staff here deserve just as much credit. They’re welcoming, attentive, and genuinely care about making sure you have the best experience possible. It feels like they treat every order, big or small, with the same level of pride and respect.

What really sets this place apart though is the convenience. Their late-night delivery is an absolute lifesaver, especially with no delivery charge and no minimum order — something you rarely see anymore. It’s thoughtful touches like that which make me not only a satisfied customer, but a loyal one.

This isn’t just another pizza spot — it’s a place that goes above and beyond. Freshness, flavor, great people, and unbeatable service. Easily my go-to for pizza, any day of the week.“

“One of many pizza joints that I made a list of wanting to try at least 2 years prior but I finally made it in this past March and was quite pleased with the quality of food here.

We just got done roaming around Northbrook Court and our typical outing when I'm off work is dinner away from the mall then dessert for the boys.

The food overall is pretty good here and obviously the pizza is the highlight, we went with NY style XL pizza and we liked it. The menu overall has some familiar Italian bites at reasonable prices.

Good food, clean dining area and friendly service in a cozy setting, would definitely return if ever in the area. We live pretty far north in Beach Park in northeastern Lake Co but a high number of wknds we usually end up somewhere in northern Cook Co.

I always strive to support local and hope for years of continued boomin' business for the owner(s).🍕“

“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!“

“Great, authentic Italian cuisine. Never disappoints.“
