50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Western Springs

“We were looking for new places to try this week and I came across Ella’s. Not too far from home and the menu looked great. Stopped in early on Saturday evening and grabbed a spot at the bar. Great bar for sure!! The whole place looks great. A little swanky and dim lights so it makes for a great date night. They had a super inviting patio out front but it was a little hot out so we stayed inside. We will be back to dine outside for sure!
We love to share plates so we got two appetizers and a salad. The Arancini alla Vodka was absolutely delicious, should have ordered two. The bacon wrapped dates were amazing. The house salad, perfect. Great drink selection as well. The menu has a great variety, not just Italian.
The staff was great, super friendly and attentive.
I love when smaller local places just do it right and Ella’s does it right!
Can’t wait to come back and dine alfresco.“

“Ordered a few pizzas online for pickup. 1 pizza was a gluten free pizza. Pizza overall was great except the crust was very hard and difficult to eat. Other pizzas ordered were great, no issues. Called for a last minute request, due to ordering mistake, that was fulfilled without any hesitation. Will definitely order again. Love their pizza, especially The Lou. Delicious 😋“

“Went tonight for the first time. The pizza was excellent 👌🏻 I usually have to go to Lake Geneva, WI for good neapolitan pizza.. But, now I know I can go to Lantern instead. 😋😋🍕🍕“

“Absolute perfection. The real deal! If you are looking for authentic, traditional Serbian burek, this place hits a home run. The texture is exactly what it should be: shatteringly crispy on the outside and beautifully tender and flaky on the inside. The filling-to-dough ratio was spot on. It is perfectly savory, rich, and served piping hot right out of the oven. The vibe casual, no-frills, and incredibly welcoming. Pairing a burek with a cold cup of drinking yogurt is a total game-changer. Easily the best comfort food around. Our family are definitely a regular here! Kids love it as well!!“

“Pizza was really good. I mean it's not the best in Chicago, but overall value is really really good. The tacos that everyone keeps raving about were average...tbough I'll get the steak the next time to try that. I got the chicken and it was decent.

The Nutella bites were pretty awesome though... And the chips were warm and crunchy...and nicely salted. Higy recommend this place overall.“

“Graet deals and great pizza. Well done gives that crunchy taste if thats what you like. But that Wednesday deal is phenomenal. $30 for large pizza and appetizers of your choosing and a big salad cant go wrong. Recommend trying it out on Wednesdays for the family.“

“I've gone to Vinces for over 20 years, and I can honestly say it never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, you feel like part of the family. You are always greeted with a smiling face and the smells alone will keep you coming back for more. The pizza here is consistently incredible. Perfectly thin crust, just the right amount of sauce, and loaded with toppings that can fit any craving. With the number of years, I have been visiting, I have tried almost everything on the menu from their pizza to their pastas to their appetizers and I keep on going back. I have even hosted parties that have said the same. Not often you find a place that keeps tradition alive with the highest quality, but Vinces makes it happen every day. See everyone soon. Thank you Vinces you are a neighborhood treasure.“

“1st time being here and everything was A+! We came in and sat at the bar while our food was being freshly made. Awesome and Friendly staff! Enjoyed a little bit of the game on tv and had some cheese fries while we waited with our drinks. I definitely want to go back and try more on the menu! Brought the pizzas home to 4 teenagers and they devoured them in minutes. Lol Thanks so much for nice little “date” night while we waited. 🍕“

“This is the most authentic Italian food we’ve had since our visit to Italy in 2019. The brick oven pizzas were AMAZING and the spaghetti bolognese was delicious!! To finish our meals, we had Tiramisu that was out of this world!! The ambiance was cozy and the staff were so welcoming. It was like eating at home with family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food, great people, and real nice vibe. Also, try the Italian Beef. It’s EXCELLENT!“

“A small celebration was planned at Giordano's in Willowbrook for my nieces' Baptisms. My Hubby and I walked in early with balloons and flowers, two hours early, in fact. Yet this did not faze anyone there. They could not have been nicer. "You're a little early..." "We came to decorate." Stephanie showed us to a sunny corner of the restaurant, all set up for the expected 20 guests. She offered us an ice-cold beverage. Several hours later, the party was in full swing, with a wide variety of fantastic pizza spread out among the many tables. It was served after a delicious and very fresh Caesar salad. Yum! All of our many favorite flavors/crusts were represented, which kept Stephanie busy serving the tables. The pizzas were hot with crispy crusts. The mostaccioli had stretchy cheese with an almost creamy texture. It had a little kick, too. Fabulous! A dessert table followed the pizza, which was just right. We never felt rushed, and so stayed to visit a while longer. This Willowbrook Giordano's was super clean with a cheerful, efficient staff. Thank you, Stephanie and Manager Patrick. We will return!“

“I love the food, the family, the friendship, and the courage to take risks in private enterprise. So happy ? for them building a superb menus. I’m delighted to spread the word to have friends enjoy the benefits of great food. If they raised prices I’d still keep ordering!“

Great atmosphere and excellent customer service from start to finish. Definitely one of my favorite pizza spots — highly recommend if you’re looking for quality food and a great experience!”“

Ive always felt welcomed there & did not ever face any issues with my order. They also always tell us to let them know if we need anything else.“
