Great staff, put in an order and was surprised that pick up would only be 35 mins which was great. The pizza was good only criticism was it was oily, know some people like that but I soaked it up with paper towels. Would give another go! read more

It may not look like much on the outside, but they have great pizza! If you order upon your arrival, you can sit in the bar next door until your pizza is ready. You will be notified when it is done. Good little perk! read more

Our go to pizzeria failed us recently so we decided to try Carson's. "Hole in the wall" is best way to put it. A couple seats inside but got takeout anyway. I hope I get the same quality pizza each time because this was great. Not super saucey which helps pizza hold itself and got a great crisp. Will order next time fore-sure. Reminds me of what Chicagoland pizza used to be! read more

If I wasn't battling with my weight, I would eat here every day! The food is amazing, pizza's to die for, and the breaded steak sandwich (oh dear lord!)... you don't even know what you're missing till you've ordered from here! read more

Awesome Breaded Steak Sandwich!! Great food, bar in the same building were you can eat and have a few drinks read more

Here we go again! We have a ton of pizza joints in a 10 minute radius. Many are good but this tastes great. Even the wife who is a cheese pizza freek stated that not only was the crust awesome and crispy but the sausage tastes great. When I told here the price she said "our new go to!" The mom and pop shop added breath mints and mini tootsie rolls on the counter. I consider it a safe driving reward! Instead of trying to eat the dang pizza while driving(distracted driving). I can enjoy the candy until I made it home! read more

I tried the breaded steak sandwich because everyone was raving about it. It was okay but I'm still in search for the best one. It was counter service so no great shakes. The ambiance is almost to the point of carry out only with only one table. Would I go back, I don't think so, I live about a half hour from the place. read more

The pizza is great but they don't deliver. If they did, it would be my go-to pizza place. I can't speak to the service or ambiance because I picked up my order and didn't eat in. read more

Cross to super crispy. The sausage was excellent. The sauce was really good. The cheese was a little oily and seemed like it separated after cooking all in all a pretty good pizza. read more

Very good - and real - tavern style pizza. You order from a window in the tavern, pick it up after a beer or two and then eat at the bar! But serving style aside, the pizza itself was quite good: Thin crust, hot, with good sausage. read more

Carson’s Corner Pizzeria - Half sausage, half pepperoni (forgot to ask for well-done, but still quite good). - Italian Near Me - Shorewood, Illinois

A call in for carry out at dinner time on a Friday night. Call taker very efficient and polite. Pizzas ready at stated wait time. Carry out area clutter free and clean. Pizzas came in a box. Parking no issue. We enjoyed both pizzas. High points included a very chewy and favorable cheese. Both pepperoni and sausage had good traditional flavors. Pizza cut tavern style (our liking). Crust and sauce both done well. We will return. read more

The absolute best hidden gem in the southwest suburbs, their thin crust pizza is incomparable (consistently 5 stars for years), their breaded steak sandwich is undeniably awesome, and their grilled steak sandwich is simply sweet and savory deliciousness. You can obviously find a cheaper pizza, but you will not find a better one, also, cheaper means less toppings as well as less flavor, if you want your mouth and stomach to be happy then this is the place for you! read more

Great food. Great service. Try the breaded steak sandwich. Just like the old neighborhood.

Classic tavern style thin crust pizza, rivals anything I've had in Chicago. Had the pizza several times now and it never disappoints.

The pizza was soggy and salty! My wife and I did not enjoyed it! I will never return at all!

This was our first time trying Carson's. We ordered over the phone for pickup & service was good. If you pay in cash, there's a 3.25% discount, according to a sign over the cash register. We didn't know so we paid with card. It's got limited seating & that small, authentic pizzeria feel. We ordered sandwiches & a calzone. We had the steak & mozzarella, meatball & grilled chicken sandwiches. All very good! Meatballs made fresh. Everything seems to be made very fresh, where at some places you can't be sure. The calzone was very good & pretty big. It made us excited to order pizza next time. There's that slight yeasty flavor of a fresh made crust that hits different in the best way. The fries were slightly salty for us, but still really good. That's just a personal preference though. This is a local, family owned business. Prices were worth what you get! Definitely worth checking out & supporting! read more

Consistently very good pizza, always done as requested. Tasty sauce, real cheese & ingredients, and we very seldom have any slices not eaten. Traffic is a pain, but going here is well worth the journey! If you haven't, give it a try, you'll be back!! I keep meaning to post a picture but by the time I think about it... the pizzas all gone!! read more

Cracker thin ,tavern style ,delicious pizza. Tasty sausage with enough fennel Sauce was very good Definitely one of my favorite pizzas now . The employees were very accommodating and pleasant. read more

Very solid pizza. Called on a Friday afternoon and had it ready in 30 mins. Super nice guy working behind the counter I think was the owner? I could be wrong. Nice guy though. Not a lot of room inside which is fine for me anyway since I always take my pizzas to go. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Small spot but fascinating food. Do you live in the south suburbs , but don't want to make the 40 mile drive to Bridgeport? Look no further than Carson's Corner. Don't get intimidated by the place . It's truly a hidden gem where people should know about amazing food. Other than the ingredients , you have to taste the love in this and they make this with a lot of love .. taking me back to the old neighborhood with the taste. Don't sleep on them , trust this fat guy here! read more

20+ years in Shorewood and this is my new go-to pizza. Absolutely fantastic! That is high praise from someone having grown up in Cicero in the 70's & 80's. You can taste the pride in one's food. And this was perfection. I am SO glad a neighbor recommended this place to me. It almost brings a tear to my eye. Takes me back. Bravo Carson's Corner. Bravo. read more

Pizza was so good taste like a Chicago style!!! I definitely give this place 5 plus stars!!! Food and service was the best!!! read more

1st timer pizza lover. I had a medium thin crust sausage and mushroom pizza for $27 and some change. The flavors where good the staff friendly and it came out right on time. However every ingredient is an additional cost. This makes Carson's a little harder for me to see them as a go to, for me. My opinion: Jets and Rock City have a slight edge due to flavor, price and generous on ingredients. There are many good pizza places so I will see what awaits me. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Breaded steak is far better than Ricobenes and much closer. If you like thin crust pizza Carson's Corner is a must try. You will keep coming back just like us. read more

Pizza was really good, but for a small one - topping pizza for $17.00, way too steep. Won't be paying that for a small pizza again.

Nice family food. Service was great and the door holding was a nice touch. Don't know about the ambiance as we got it to go.

Have to say they have awesome pizza. Pricey BUT worth it for a GREAT pizza. Tried the breaded steak sandwich- not a fan. Others rave about it but not for me. Did have a issue when my debit card was put through multiple times. Young lady had to change out paper and not sure if she realized it had gone through more than once. Just called my bank and got the charge credited back-no biggy. Owners are friendly and always pleasant. read more

Been living in the south suburbs going on 7 years now, moved here from Chicago and I am very picky on pizza. Heard about this place from locals and thought we should give it a try. Ordered a pizza and a steak sandwich. Pizza was good, sandwich was also pretty good. Little mom and pop shop nothing fancy about the decor, just good old fashioned pizza read more

Real deal no nonsense pizza, the kind I grew up with. The sandwiches are awesome. My only warning is once you go there you will want to go back! read more

There's a window behind the slot machines so you can order a pizza and have a drink while you wait. They also have delivery and carry out. I really like this pizza! It's got a light flavorful crust and the cheese stays gooey for quite a while. I've burned my mouth several times! You need to be careful to let it cool down, right when it comes out of the oven. read more

I really enjoyed our pizza from Carson's. It was cooked perfectly, the sauce was fantastic, and the sausage had a great flavor and mild spice. The owner is very friendly, and you can tell he loves what he does. The price was very fair, and affordable. He talked up his calzones, so I think I'll get those next time. Thanks Carson's! read more

We've lived in shorewood for 27 yrs and I must say we've had pizza from many places. Mike makes the best pizza we've had since we moved here, I'm happy we finally found our go too place! read more

Excellent pizza. Hands down the very best red sauce I've ever had. Bottle it, and I would happily pay twice the price of grocery store offerings. I want to try their highly rated Breaded Steak, but not yet ready to pass on the Sausage/Pepperoni pizza. Yesterday I wanted to add a tip to my credit card charge & was told "we don't accept tips". The tip was my desire to acknowledge the hard working mom/pop operation who provide my favorite pizza. Keep up the great work! read more
