8 within 3 blocks? Fuck, I miss Chicago sometimes.I haven’t. Always thin crust from them. I’ll order Lou’s if I want deep dish here. There’s no shortage of pizza places around here. I’d say 8 within a three block radius of my domicile.
White Cottage also has a place in Elgin on Randall.
Another we like is Danny's on Douglas over by the police station in Elgin. Much like White Cottage, they put plenty of cheese on it, so don't need to ask for extra. Their cheddar cheese poppers are also an excellent appetizer, and believe it or not, their fried chicken is great.
I see Nicks mentioned. Nicks and Village are two brothers. One (Nick Sarilla... I think that's his last name), owns Nick's and then the other brother who's name escapes me right now, owns Village. When you go there, you gotta get the double decker pizza. It's basically two thin crust pizzas stacked on top of one another.
And of course, I gotta plug my place. Charlie Fox's in Geneva. There are also a St. Charles with a dining room and a Batavia location, which like us is take out or delivery.

One of my first jobs was at the Village in Carpentersville so that owner is Mike Sarillo who also owns the Village on Randall north of 90, then its his nephew Nick that owns the Nicks Pizza in Crystal Lake, Elgin, and now one in Chicago. I "think" I still call both those my favorites. The pizza's between the two are very close based on the family recipe.
I get dominos and PH fairly often here because it's really all there is in terms of cheapish pizza.The holy trinity
I've gotta add one more...especially for the dine-in experience.
I don't get up that way much anymore, but this place is amazing. Pizza is outstanding (try the double decker pizza), unlimited peanuts and you throw shells on the ground, video arcade for the kids, and probably a hundred stuffed animals on the walls (coyotes, birds, raccoons, even a bear, etc.). Most importantly, some of the best tasting tap beer I've ever had.

when I lived in the city, we always ordered from Pete's Pizzeria @ 5847 W Montrose.
Now that we are in the burbs, I would say White Cottage in Elgin.
The Rosatti's in Gilberts is solid and then there's also Maciano's in Elgin.
Come the fuck on, really???
It's worth a half mile. I grew up down the street. What's your go to Barracos?I need to try Rosangela's. I live a half mile away and half never been there.

Tatas on 111th east of kedzie makes a nice piece, sweet sauce which is unique.Palermo's has always been my go to. I've never been a fan of Barracos.
