“We stopped by Antioch Pizza in Libertyville after visiting a family member at Condell Hospital, looking for a late lunch. It was our first time there, and it turned out to be everything we’d hoped for. They offer several pizza options—including a gluten-free choice for one person in our group—as well as beer and wine selections.

To our surprise, there’s even a small ice cream shop inside! We ordered the two-slice deal, a large pizza, and a gluten-free cheese pizza. The thin crust was excellent—crispy and flavorful.

We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, John, who was super friendly and welcoming. We didn’t get to try the ice cream this time, but we definitely plan to on our next visit.

Highly recommended if you’re in the Libertyville area—thank you, John, for a great experience!“

“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!“

“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 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.

“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.“

“Food: Amazing! We come from Hawai'i and it was the best pizza we ever tasted! Those that had lactose issues didn't have any with these pizzas. Just learned we can order to ship.
Service: Our bruschetta was missing and they allowed us to pick it up another day. Everyone there is so friendly.
Location: It's a take out place and both times I came they were keeping the floor clean.
Definitely recommended for anyone headed to a boot camp graduation!“

“Stop in for the canolli and stay for the food.“

“Tina G’s in Mundelein is truly a gem! As happy multiple visit repeat customers, we can’t say enough about the outstanding food, warm atmosphere, and the incredible people who make every visit so special. Tina and her husband, Chef Phil Gilardi, pour their hearts into every detail, from the creative and delicious dishes to the welcoming hospitality that makes you feel right at home. Dining here is always more than a meal—it’s a memorable experience filled with flavor, comfort, and joy. We can’t wait to return again and again, and we recommend Tina G’s to anyone who loves great food and genuine warmth!“

“We live 2.5 hours south of Lake Villa, but we were meeting some friends from Florida for dinner. They were in the area for their grandson’s graduation from Great Lakes Naval Academy. Found this place via Google and it had great reviews, with good reason. We wish we lived closer because it would be a favorite for sure. Probably the best bruschetta and lasagna I’ve had in a very long time. Everyone loved their entrees. We tried multiple pasta dishes and the pizza. Prices were very reasonable and our service was exceptional. Excellent dining experience all around. Highly recommend.“

“Growing up in Italy, I learned to appreciate food that feels both authentic and full of heart, and Olivia’s Italian Restaurant gives me just that. I often come here for their homemade pasta and classic chicken parmigiana, dishes that bring me right back to family dinners in Turin. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it feel less like dining out and more like being embraced by true Italian hospitality“

Overall, I give this place a 10/10, definitely would recommend.“

“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.“

“Purchased a supreme pizza with Cheese, Sausage, Onions, Green Pepper and Mushrooms. The pizza tasted great, with one gotcha. The onions were a bit Chunky, making them still firm when biting. But everything else was great tasting.
Always a fan of this restaurant as its one of our go tonspots when ordering.“

“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!!“

“Great pizza! Timely delivery.“

“We stopped here as a recommendation from someone who lives there. It was obvious to me that all of their ingredients were gotten fresh. The tomatoes for their sauce are hand picked. Their sauce is excellent! The deep dish crust has a good crisp to it, we didn't feel greesy or bloated after eating it. I failed to grab the name of our waiter but he made the whole experience worth it. Great place for families and friends. It felt like home cooking.“

“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!“

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