Excellent pizza. Surprised about the poor reviews. Guy on the phone was spotty but I got exactly what I wanted and was delivered fast. Don't skip this one give them a try. Bottom line the pizza is GREAT and I'm a bit of an expert having managed many busy pizza shops in the Chicago area. Delicious FLAVOR! Crispy crust, no burnt edges, cooked not too much but just enough. Very generous toppings (cheese and sausage, my choice), perhaps a bit too much cheese and sausage actually but one can always ask for "easy" topping. Don't forget folks it pays in life to ask for what you want, it often works out. I did ask for extra sauce not knowing how much they use here and it was exactly what I like, not swimming but enough spread across the pie to give flavor. Glad we finally tried this mom and pop in our area because it's outstanding. I will be ordering again.
Looking closer a lot of the bad reviews are re: price or service. This is the price one pays now for this kind of quality in this part of the USA. It is not overly expensive. Same price and definitely at least twice the weight as the (also excellent Flavorful tasty pizza I like) @ n_icks up the street. 3-4 people could be well fed on a 14" here.
As for the service having been in the biz I know personally how difficult it has become to get even adequate help. I would forgive some transgressions in this area folks (my service was fine, the phone guy could have been better..) as the bottle line is the pizza is better than the other 5 or 6 local mom and pop types I've tried around this area in Elgin.
Also the: delivery times expect 45-60 minutes for a great pizza cooked in a "real" pizza oven. It's worth the wait for a quality product.
Again EXCELLENT pizza! -

3 stars rating is about right. I ordered two medium 12" pizzas (deluxe and an Italian beef special), fries and mozzarella sticks. Total was almost $50 after tax and $2 discount from ordering though Eat 24.
The pizzas and mozzarella sticks were ok, nothing special. The fries were not good, didn't look fresh and flavorless.
Order was ready when I arrived and service was friendly, but for the average taste, I thought the price was a bit too high. -

Owner is a racist, pizza is gross, staff is rude and the cooking environment unsanitary. Going to report to department of health.

I'm new to the area and was discouraged by the first couple local pizza places I tried.
My search ended tonight. This is even better than my former pizza go to.
The sauce is delicious, the cheese is thick and heavy, the crust thin, but not cracker crisp... just like a Chicago pizza should be. -

I'm from the east coast and like all the other pizza joints in illinois one word sums up every thin crust I've tasted the last 5 yrs YUCK. Cardboard crust with topping put under the cheese yuck.
