Algonquin |
Riverview | rebeyer | "Great sauce.
Try the Gut buster Pizza. They have a large variety menu... What's not to like?" |
Illinois |
Bethalto |
Roma's Pizza | valperindri | "This
is an Italian family that has been in business for over 25 years. Their
pizza is probably the best I've ever had. I drive 30 miles every couple of weeks or so to have their pizza. I love their Italian Sausage. It compliments their sauce and crust to perfection. I believe that they shred their mozzarella fresh at the restaurant..." |
Illinois | Bloomington |
Lucca Grill |
buckee | "...It's a thin crusted pizza that is second to none...I strongly suggest this place." |

Carol Stream |
Balzano's | John | "Their pan pizza is to die for! Thick with toppings especially cheese and a nice mild sauce..." |

Sir Nicks | scott | "Fresh everything, Huge "Za", great Italian sausage ... the mozzarella cheese tastes like it has butter in it!" |
Illinois |
Champaign |
Garcia's Pizza in a Pan | vream | "First
pizza to be cut into rectangles and sold by the slice as fast food.
Best crust and sauce is sweet not acid like the heavy olive oil in other tomato sauces. The cheese is out of this world. Ralph and Joe (The Flying Tomato Brothers) put sliced mozzarella cheese on the bare crust, build the pizza and put lots of cheese on top. Very good. One or two "pizza by the slice" is a meal. The two originators met 30+ years ago in college when they joined the same rock band (still ultra cool.) Though the band may be gone, they went on to make the first down state Chicago style pizza... " |

Armand's | Doug | "The crust (thin) stands on its own with no limp yet has that indefinable gooey top to it (under the sauce)... the sauce... homemade, slightly thin but even the juice on your fingers is loaded with flavor... the mozzarella, not too much.. the sausage,secret recipe, absolutely the PERFECT pizza sausage, not too spicy so that it does not detract from the other flavors on the pie... " |

Bella
Bacino's |
Pizza Lover Chicago | "Overall, Bella Bacino's tasted great and was a great lunch place. I don't know how heart healthy it is, but if it's good for your heart, they should leave it at that. Pizza is not healthy! Especially deep dish!" |

Castle Gandolofo 800 N Dearborn St Chicago, Illinois (312) 787-2211 |
Pizza Lover Chicago | "...The first thing I tasted was the cheese. The mozzarella was so fresh and a nice thin layer. Nothing was too overbearing. I loved that the sauce was on top of the cheese because it wasn't hidden by the cheese; rather, it blended almost perfectly. It was also a sweeter sauce, which was nice. Lastly, the crust. YUM. But I'm always a fan of crust. The taste of the coal-fired edges was perfect..." |

Home Run Inn |
moabutman | "Home
Run Inn is a classic thin crust pizza with a nicely formed crust edge.
Theflavors of the individual ingredients stand out for themselves and are
not overwhelmed by each other. The homemade
sausage is the best I have ever found and always fresh. I have been eating at HRI since the early 60's and the pizza has always been consistent in taste and quality. I drive over 300 miles to get what I think is still the best." |

Vito and Nick's | Al / lucyluwho |
"The
thin crust is extra special and I spoke with a pie maker that said when you
try a new pizza order it with only sausage. the reason is that all your other ingredients will be the same everywhere meaning mostly vegetables. So all your unique flavor comes from the sauce crust cheese and sausage. Vyto and Nick's sausage is made specially blended for them at the butcher...." / "Everything is homemade at V&N's, but what makes their pizza the absolute best is the super thin crust (very un-Chicago!). It's cracker-thin and absolutely incredible. They also don't put too much cheese on it, so the sauce and the ingredients really come through..." |

Who Makes The Worlds Best Pizza in Illinois? "Every pizza lover feels the
best pizza is made best in their own home town. West Coast pizza fans are very loyal to
their pizza. Mid-west pizza fans are loyal to their own pizza. Don't even get me
started about the debate between Chicago Deep Dish pizza vs. New Your Pizza. New
Haven pizza fans are fiercely loyal to "Wooster Street" style pizza. Of course
other countries feel their pizza is the best... Pizza on Earth, Albert Grande, The Pizza Promoter |
