50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Lake Villa

“Hidden in plain sight in Lake Villa, this Italian restaurant is the kind of unassuming neighborhood gem critics quietly root for. It isn’t flashy, it isn’t loud, and it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is: a place that consistently serves excellent food at fair prices. In the Lakes region—where Italian options can feel uneven—this spot rises confidently to the top. On my most recent visit, I was seated immediately at a corner table, a small but meaningful luxury in an age of hour-long waits. The dining room, typically hushed enough for actual conversation, again delivered one of its underrated pleasures: a peaceful meal without the intrusive din that plagues so many suburban restaurants. Service followed suit—friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to help, never hovering or rushing. The kitchen remains the star. My spaghetti with vodka sauce was outstanding—rich, balanced, and among the best renditions I’ve had anywhere in the region. Other entrées at the table echoed the same strengths: sauces with clarity and depth, pastas cooked with confident restraint, portions generous without tipping into excess. Cocktails, too, arrived promptly and properly mixed, further reinforcing the sense of a kitchen-and-bar team that takes pride in their craft. If there is a shortfall, it lies in the ambiance. The room carries a certain charm, but the décor feels a step behind the quality of the food. A refresh of tables, finishes, and overall presentation would elevate the experience from very good to genuinely special. The warmth is there—the aesthetics simply haven’t caught up yet. Even so, the value proposition is undeniable. For reliably excellent Italian cuisine, low noise, easy seating, earnest service, and honest pricing, this restaurant more than earns its “highly recommended” status. It is, in every meaningful way, Lake Villa’s little culinary treasure.“

“We came here on Saturday, September 20, 2025, after a very successful charity walk in town. We came here based on a recommendation and that was a very smart decision. They had so many different kinds of pizza and our large group got to try each of them. It was a slow Saturday so we got a lot of personalized focus and attention and I really enjoyed my meal here at Pizzeria DeVille and can’t wait to be back. 5 stars across the board. (Written 10-3-25)“

“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.“

“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!“

“delicious food, friendly staff, cute environment“

“We took the grandkids there, they ate chicken strips, burgers and finished it off with ice cream. Great place.“

“We were in town for basketball tournament. Put an order in at 10:15 because they close at 11. Told 30 minutes, and I got there 10:45, everything was hot and ready. Explained teenage boys, and they threw in plates, napkins, and forks!! Then asked about a salad and offered that. Understood boys can eat!! Authentic Chicago deep dish was excellent. Thin crust was great. The salad was huge and did not disappoint. The friendly service was greatly appreciated. Don't let the seating and location foul you, this place is great!! Ordering and carry out was a breeze. Highly recommend!“

“A favorite local spot for pizza, hot dogs, Italian beefsand ice cream. Sadly they don't make gyros anymore. But if you want local food, its the spot.“

“When our family orders pizza, our go to place to call is Antioch Pizza, we got the 12 pc wings and 14” pizza (1/2 pepperoni, perroncinis, & bacon), 2L sprite deal, it was so delicious. Apologies, we did not even take pictures before we dug in. Yous never seem to disappoint!!! Thank you for being 😎“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“The Italian beef sausage combo was delicious. The only thing I disliked about is was the amount of Italian beef (they were very skimpy with it). The gyro is also also delicious. The pizza slices are okay.

The cashier was nice but needs to be a bit more welcoming“

“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 .“

“Can not really say anything about the atmosphere since it was delivery. The pizza was amazing. It was still very hot when it got to me and the driver was great. He was polite and respectful. I will definitely be doing business with them 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 is genuinely our favorite pizza in the area. Brad is an absolute sweetheart. The prices are great. We ordered pizza from them for our rehearsal dinner and everyone loved it!“

“Great Italian beef sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Although I’ve never had one with bell peppers. That was a communication error on my part. I thought sweet peppers would mean banana peppers (which I prefer) but the sweet bell peppers were a treat just as well. Not a bad place for a quick lunch. It’s not fast food, it’s food prepared fast, and tasty.“

“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…“

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

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

“Came here after a long day of walking at the nearby amusement park. Place was not very crowded and we were able to order immediately and sit down. I ordered a mod pizza with several custom toppings. Pizza came out relatively fast, about 15 minutes, and were very warm. Pizza came out delicious and perfectly cooked. Pizza definitely filled me up fully. Overall, strongly recommend for a delicious pizza!“

“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.“

“The Bandits' Smoke Shake is absolutely AMAZING! The people, food and atmosphere is something you need to experience! Trust me!“

“My go-to place for thin-crust pizza in Libertyville. Consistently good... crispy crust, tasty sauce, perfect blend of cheese and just the right amount. Tried lots of others, and always end up going back to Rosati's. Don't be put off by the location in a mostly deserted and run down strip mall.“

“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!“

“I don't know how many different ways to cook and spice pizza are out there. It seems pretty basic to me. But for some reason, this place has the best tasting pizza around. I get sausage, bacon, pineapple and jalapeño and it is like a flavor explosion to my senses. It's also a nice place to take the family and sit down and laugh and chill. Always friendly, and always a good time with good food.“

“I am so grateful to Rosati's Pizza of Antioch for their great food, courteous customer service, and optional delivery. With such responsive service, it's not just the food that tastes better, but the whole dining experience 'tastes' better. The food I have ordered maintains consistent quality for the price. And ordering with any special requests has been rewarding. They have brought on some great delivery people too. Kudos, Rosati's, and thanks!“

“The food was great! We had a crispy chicken sandwich-the garlic aioli was so good, the chicken was hot and crispy. A build your own hamburger- again, juicy and so good. A gyro- perfect with fries!
The service was fast and attentive. We will be back.“

“Stopped in for Taco Tuesday and it did not disappoint. Huge tacos with nice spicy ground beef. Was really sorry to hear husband George was killed in a car accident 4 months ago. Support This Local Business!“

“I have been coming to the pizza joint since I was young, everytime I come here there is always the best customer service. When u come to this location it gives a family type of feel, they are willing to make any pizza combination that you want! My personal favorite is the rolled stuffed crust. I’ve tried a lot of pies in this area and nothing comes close, I will definitely be returning frequently.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Survival Rate: 0% Tried the Shark Bait and lost all self-control. I blacked out somewhere between the crust and the toppings, woke up surrounded by empty napkins, and a deep respect for apex predators. This low key had me humming “baby shark” afterwards.“

“Good food, good service, cool place to hang if you're not gaming“

“This is a rustic woodsy atmosphere. Peanut shells are all over the floor. Probably not a great choice for those with peanut allergies. We order the wings they are meaty and flavorful without any sauce. We also had the Double Decker pizza. This is one of our favorites.“

“The food is always outstanding, but it's the people that truly make the experience exceptional. Every time I visit, I'm greeted with warmth and kindness. The staff goes above and beyond, especially when it comes to making my kids feel special. Their generosity and thoughtful service ensure that each visit is memorable and enjoyable.“

“We stumbled in here a few months ago and it is now our go to hang out. Honestly, some of the best burgers and pizza around. Everything is made fresh (even their salad dressings and soups are made in house daily!). Become a regular and you will find family here!“

“Italian beef sandwiches and fries to die for.“

“We had the chicken parm, beef ragu, and lemon chicken for a family dinner and goodness, ALLLLL of it was so good. We recommend highly for a quality dinner!“

“Excellent pizza! Excellent Sea Bass! Great value! Personable server!“

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings“

“Anthony is always super friendly on the phone! Always super patient with us deciding what we want and I just want him to know we appreciate you!“

“I had placed an order for delivery online, unaware that I was out of the delivery area. I received my food in a reasonable, nice and hot. The driver was exceptionally nice and did inform me of their delivery area. I just moved out to this area and this is the best pizza and breadsticks around.“
