“I have ordered from here before and really enjoyed the food. I accidentally placed another order twice today and they called me immediately to rectify the situation. I was a general manager of restaurants for 21 years and this was exceptional customer service when a lot of places would have just taken my money. I really appreciate the extra mile and it's because of situations like this that make me a repeat customer. I will be back and if you haven't tried their pizza, you should!“

“A nice little fast food joint off of Dempster and Gross Point Rd. They serve up lots of good and intetesting pizza, wraps, burgers and more. All of their food is Zabiha halal certified.

Keep in mind there are no tables to eat inside, this is a takeout/carryout only place.

I recommend Chicken 65 wrap, Malai Chicken wrap, and Meat Lovers pizza.“

“The deep dish was amazing! Loved the crust down to the last bite!“

“Good thin crust and good ingredients, cooked perfect“

“Finally!! Ever since I returned from living in Italy, I have been looking all over Chicago for authentic Italian pizza and bread. I had some bread, a slice of pizza, a daily special calzone and an espresso. It was perfection 🤌 A slice of Italy in Lincoln Square Chicago

The interior of the restaurant is modern, well lit, very clean and pleasant smelling, with plenty of comfortable seating. They have spacious outdoor seating with umbrellas.
Family owned and operated.“

“Our pizzas were fantastic! The gluten free crust was delicious (per the two that ate it). The deep dish was wonderful as well! So many options, super friendly service! Lots of locals were eating here so that is a good sign.“

“We received their flyer in the mail showcasing some great-looking pizzas, pub staples, and tacos de harina. We’d never heard of Cansino’s before, but figured we’d give it a shot. Man, am I glad we did — because they’ve quickly become one of our local favorites! For years, Lou Malnati's held the crown for our favorite Chicago-style deep dish, but Cansino’s has officially taken the top spot. Their cheese blend is unbelievably creamy, stretchy, and flavorful. It’s their own house blend of California cheeses, and it reminds us of the rich, melty Wisconsin brick used in Detroit-style pies — maybe a touch creamier and a bit less salty. The sauce is hearty and well-balanced, loaded with herbs and neither too sweet nor too tart. The crust has just the right firmness and flavor, and their sausage is leaner than Lou’s but packs a bold fennel kick. We still enjoy other deep dish places, but when a craving hits, Cansino’s is our first call. We’re picky about onion rings, but Cansino’s nails it: crispy seasoned breading, and tender perfectly cooked rings of onion. The fries are also really solid, and their fried mushrooms were an unexpected hit. I’ve tried a couple of their tortas too — all were tasty, with well-seasoned beef, flavorful beans, and nicely grilled fajita-style veggies. The bread held up great. I’ve got my eye on their paninos in the near-future. The staff is super friendly and always ready with a great suggestion or two. The place is clean, bright, and well kept. Prices are fair for the area, everything we’ve ordered has been ready on time, and there's plenty of parking right in front. Their entrance is easy to access, and they’re located right across the street from the Fort Sheridan Metra Station — which makes them a perfect stop before or after a commute. Looks like their breakfast would be perfect before a train ride! We’ll definitely keep exploring more of the menu and will update with more photos as we go.“

“Best Pizza in Evanston. The dough, the unique ingredients. I. Am.Hooked👌“

“We've loved Joe's for over a decade and decided to rent the party room at their new location for an event. It was fantastic! The food was great as always, and Kim and Eric took wonderful care of our party throughout the event. Thank you for making everything perfect for our friends and family!“

“All was amazing for our first visit.“

“The best tasting pizza! Delicious and flavorful! Great customer service!“

“Great atmosphere and food!“

“I love this place I've been coming here since I was 17. I raised my sons here as I am 45 and still come here. fantastic.“

“Great service and friendly people. Been on my list for ages!“

“The Best food in Chicago,delicious food,good prices,and the nicest owner in the world,Franco“

“Pizza is great. Salads are good. Large menu. BEWARE. They try to stick you with a 3.00 fee for incidental items you may ask for. This is a turn off. Make sure you have them remove it“

“It's a good casual place. The pizza reminds me reminds me of a deep dish crust but with all that extra breading. Loved the pizza but I've tried millions of places; it's great and food came out extremely warm and mozzarella sticks were tasty and crunchy but it was extremely mind blowing but it was good“

“AMAZING pizza, pasta, cheesecake and cocktails. 10/10 rating. Service was fast, and our server was so kind and accommodating. Honestly considering moving to Chicago just for this food. Haha!! +very kid friendly“

“Highly recommend this place“

“Overall everything was great. The only negative was the noise level. But that is understandable due to the restaurant being full due to it being Father's Day. Our server(sorry don't recall his name) was OUTSTANDING. Food was top notch! Very delicious. Made for a very enjoyable Father's Day for me and a great birthday for my adult son. Way to go Lou Malnati's staff! Excellent job!“

“Best pizza ever! I love that they still have pizza by the slice! The rest of the menu looks amazing for those who don’t want pizza.“

“Friendly phone person to start out . Thank you, Katy . ( Some restaurants have lost sight of the importance of the first person to represent their business . No one wants to deal with a cocky and rude high school girl who can't get their order right. ) Excellent Pizza! Nice CRUNCH on their thin crust dough . Only very slightly thicker crust than most. And not burnt or charred . ( Not that I mind a good char taste ) The cheese is perfectly caramelized, so I wouldn't risk losing that by ordering a well done pizza . The crunchy dough stands up well to the slightly generous amount of sauce that is perfectly balanced . Extra thin sliced fresh veggies are also much appreciated .“

“Absolute lovely! Great service, fantastic food - highly recommend!“

“LOVE Smack Dab!! I live in RP and walking to Smack Dab always makes my day. The coffee is amazing. The vibes are so cute and so are the folks that work there. Recommend 100/10.“

“Great small place to get pizza! Bread was fresh and tasty!“

“amazing staff, incredible food, and prices are great. definitely better than your local pizza place, check them out“

“I am a Chicago native now living in Colorado. While visiting, I needed to find a place that offered both deep dish pizza for my husband and gluten free pizza for me. This was a great choice. My husband was able to order deep dish by the slice and said it was delicious. My GF pizza was yummy with sausage and onion. I don't know what makes Chicago onions on pizza unique, but they just aren't the same anywhere else. The price was reasonable, and the tables outside in the shade were lovely.“

“Great Place to eat First time I had Deep dish Pizza. Wonderful and our Server Dawn was outstanding.“

“I enjoyed my experience here , I dinned in. I REALLY appreciated how the food was prepared and served HOT and I'm not just referring to spicy but rather the temperature of the food . I LIKED how I had to let the food cool a little bit before eating it. Not enough places do this any more and it's a shame. LUCKY for me I found a place that I enjoy so close to home .“

“This was the most “pizza” vegan pizza I’ve ever had! We got the Italiano delivered and they were so fast. Everything was delicious - the sauce and veggies tasted very fresh, the cheese was melty but still crispy, and dough was fluffy but crunchy.

We will definitely be going back to our new favorite pizza spot!

“Amazing Beefs! And- Love Lynette !“

“This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. While there are many great items to choose from on the menu, the real standout is their amazing thin crust pizza. The atmosphere is an eclectic mix of families, neighborhood folks, couples and groups. They have a friendly host, wait staff and bar staff. Reservation recommended if you want to go on a Friday or Saturday.“
