I love Pequod's so when I heard we had a place on the North Shore that was similar I was definitely intrigued. But also definitely skeptical. It's a small joint with zero atmosphere so it didn't look promising. But man oh man, the crust does not lie. Another reviewer called out the sausage and I have to agree. That might have been the best sausage deep dish that I've ever had. I almost wish my stomach were bigger so that I could have had a third slice. I can't wait for summer so I can truly enjoy a pizza on the sidewalk, something you could never do at Pequod's.

Don't believe the hype. Been wanting to try Lefty's for awhile. Comparisons to Pequad's and Gulliver's are highly exaggerated. Pizza was very meh. Dough was too thick for a thin crust. Edges were crisp. Worst of all, by the time we got to the middle, it was impossible to pick up the pieces! The dough literally "ran" as if undercooked. We could only eat the edges and threw away the middle. Sorry. Going to JP's.

I ordered a pizza delivery and it was taken home by someone other than myself. John was kind enough to remake my order for pick up at no additional charge. Thanks again John!

Great little place! Never been to Wilmette and we stopped for pizza and we loved it. Excellent staff and service, felt really welcome and comfortable. Sat outside on a beautiful day and really loved the pizza.

The food is great and they made my salad to order (without meat) and it was delicious.Vegetarian options: They have a good amount of vegetarian options, and most food can be altered if need be. dddd

Just had the thin crust pizza last night after a long wait! Definitely better than expected. So much flavor packed in every bite! Don’t go to Lou mal, or Giordanos. This will be my new favorite go to! I didn’t event try the infamous pan yet that’s comparable to Burt’s. Can’t wait to go back!

Best pizza in Wilmette guaranteed. AND they have local craft beer and great wings. Not overpriced. Best tavern style Chicago pizza in Wilmette.

Very good crisp pan pizza, loved the char sausage, sweet flavorful sauce, not heavy like Malnaties. Owner was very nice and even gave kids free suckers after. Good time!
