Illinois is home to many great pizza places, known for their delicious and authentic pizza pies. Some of the best places to get pizza in Illinois include:
- Lou Malnati's Pizzeria: This Chicago-based chain is known for its deep-dish pizza, which is made with a buttery crust and topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and homemade tomato sauce.
- Pequod's Pizzeria: This Chicago-based pizzeria is also known for its deep-dish pizza, which is made with a caramelized crust and topped with mozzarella cheese and a spicy sausage.
- Giordano's: This Chicago-based chain is known for its stuffed pizza, which is made with a flaky crust and filled with cheese and toppings.
- Vito & Nick's Pizzeria: This Chicago-based pizzeria is known for its thin-crust pizza, which is made with a crispy crust and topped with fresh ingredients.

- Santullo's Eatery: This Chicago-based pizzeria is known for its thin-crust pizza, which is made with a crispy crust and topped with fresh ingredients.
I occasionally keep buying those, even though theyre absolute trash.
They vary wildly based on oven I've found. I've had several that were flame. But had a few that were basically inedible.
Where is this Santullo's located? The one in Wicker Park closed about 5 years ago.
Get the deep, their thin isn't great. If ordering delivery or take out, get it uncut. Get the butter crust, and I always recommend well done.
I usually just get cheese, but toppings are person specific. They have a pizza where it gets a pizza sized sausage patty on it if that's your kind of thing.
I keep it simple, just a Sausage Deep Dish. But their buttercrust is delicious.
Might go to the Cottage tonight, I'll be sure to text you pics
That's my go to for sausage as well, but some people swear by it
I did once order Mushrooms on it, and because of the extra water content from the mushrooms it made the crust get really soggy fast, so I avoid them.
Instead of ordering Lous, I usually stop buy and pickup 2 or 3 of their frozen pizza's then just bake them myself. I haven't found too much difference between baking their frozen one, or ordering one delivery as long as you use a baking stone to bake it in the oven.

The frozen ones are pretty solid. When I come back into IL I usually grab a few to bring home. It's not quite the same, but it's close enough. Much closer than say Rosatis frozen from the grocery store.
Had Quonset Pizza in Waukegan tonight. Didn't get a chance to take a photo as we were out with my father in law. But man was that pizza good tonight. I haven't had it in a while and it's been hit or miss for me in the past but it was on fire tonight.
I've been on a thin crust kick lately, so it was obviously thin. I actually don't know if they even do deep there.
Score: 7.5/10. Very solid.
