never would have expected that slice. i figured it would be a normal doughy greasy experience.instead it was the perfect char with a great crisp. easy sauce and actual cheese. solid slice.

I had a disappointing experience at the restaurant. The atmosphere was smoky, and I left smelling like food after just a short time inside. The wings were microwaved and fell apart, and they tasted terrible and not worth the $12 price. The pizza was crisp but made with low quality ingredients. I also noticed a potential issue with sanitation, as the staff used the cash register and then immediately prepared food without washing their hands. I am uncertain about other aspects of the restaurant.

The woman at the front was very nice but the pizza was horrible. I usually am not picky at all but flavorless crust , undercooked sauce, crust and toppings. Extremely skimpy on the cheese. The only time I have ever thrown pizza away was from this place. Never again.

This place is great! It sucks that they are located tucked back beyond that public space/square cause they should be a lot busier than they usually are considering how great the food and service is. The chicken souvlaki sandwich is great. Pretty much a chicken gyro sandwich. The chicken souvlaki rice bowl is also great and such a great deal. So much food for a reasonable price. As far as pizza goes I’ve only had single slices of pizza from here but they are a great last minute go to. Most places, like village inn down the street, they leave the pizza under a heat lamp all day pretty much drying out the slice but not here. Manny warms is up when you order it. The cheese slice is probably the best one around. The Mac and cheese slice was good but like the name suggests it’s a slice of pizza with plain Mac and cheese on it. I like my Mac and cheese spicy, like really spicy, so I wouldn’t get it for myself again but definitely will keep getting it for my nieces and nephews. The kids love Mac and cheese pizza.

I don't like giving away best kept secrets, but let me tell you something, how can I not share how absolutely hands down Manny's Mac & cheese pizza slice is!!They were even down to make me a specialty slice with cheese and french fries on top, and then topped with even more cheese ;)#FanForLife

Some of the reviews made this place sound like the best pizza on earth. It's kinda just average New York style pizza. The crust is good. Probably my favorite part of the pizza, but it could have used more sauce, and the cheese was really salty and greasy. I liked the garlic knots. Really soft and chewy with a good amount of garlic flavor. Might stop in for a slice sometime if I'm in the area, but I don't think I'll go out of my way or order a whole pizza again.

Food was fresh and tasty! The gyros sandwich was awesome and the fries were cut fresh, crispy and hot!

Tucked away pizza shop serving classic NY style pizza. Very clean with quick and friendly service. Coming from the Northeast, this spot does a nice job delivering a taste of home. 10/10 recommend and will be back regularly.
Let me start off by saying, if I was only rating their pizza this would have been a 4/5. However, I call in for takeout and got told it would take 15 minutes so I arrive 30 minutes later and my order was not ready. I ended up waiting another 40-50 minutes for my order. Let me mention, parking is not easy to find at this area either. Not sure if this was a one off but I will update my review if this gets improved!

Sorry but I don't understand the hype. Maybe a bad day?? Went there on a Saturday and was very disappointed. Grades are as follows: World Famous Mac and Cheese Pizza--- 1 out of 5. The most tasteless slice I ever had in my life. Cheese fries----glob of curdled cheese melted on top of some otherwise good fresh cut fries. Avglolemeno Soup(Cream of Chicken)-- honestly not the worst I had, but pretty close. Should not call this Avglolemeno as it is nothing like real Greek Avglolemeno soup. If you know you know. Only thing that saved face was the cheeseburger that my 5 year old liked. He's easy to please so who really knows. It looked like a 1/8 pound burger on the bun honestly. Would for sure not give them another shot at redeeming themselves as it was that bad. Maybe I picked the worst things on the menu??!?!? Manny's should be called Scammy"s....

First time at manny’s and it was great. The pizza was very flavorful but it did have a lot of flop. The garlic knots were also good with ranch not so much the marinara sauce. Overall 4.2/5

Some of THE WORST pizza I’ve ever had. Stay very far away or make the trip to Evanston (Gigio’s) for actual GOOD NY Style. Putrid. Cheese gum might taste better than this mash. Sauce is poor and underseasoned. Sorry. Call Robert Irvine.

This place is the fast food spot of downtown skokie. Most important the spot for non traditional pizza or their rice bowls. Somehow the only pizza I tried here is their Philly cheesesteak, and man it was fantastic. I wouldn't think it was be creamy. But ofcourse a Philly cheese steak has no tomato so it was different in that regard. There are other items are pretty reasonably priced. Which doesn't come easy compare to a lot of places. But I find myself keep coming back because they have some good food.
