My boyfriend and I were HUGE fans of Caruso's and were always really happy with the food. Unfortunately, last night I put in two orders of cheese ravioli (with no meat) and there was meat in my food. As a vegetarian who hasn't eaten meat in over ten years this was incredibly upsetting. I called Caruso's and they said they would replace the incorrect order with cheese ravioli and delivered it about 30 minutes later. However this order also had meat in it, after I specifically told them that was what was wrong with the last order! I'm so disappointed that they couldn't get an order of ravioli right, not just once, but twice! The food left me sick and in bed for two days. That's the last time we will ever order from Caruso's again. read more

We love Caruso's! They're prompt, their pizzas are really good, and they have decent prices.

I tried Caruso's after a friend recommended it to me, and I keep going back. It has the best pan pizza I have ever tasted, and I have had my fair share of Chicago-style pizza. Plus, orders of $10 or more come with a free liter of RC (or Diet Rite, if you prefer). read more

Now, when a city girl comes all the way to Des Plaines to get pizza; you know you must be good!! I have picked up from this place about twice and I must say its one of the best pizza places I've tried in Chicago. I wonder each time that I eat my slice of pizza -- what do they do differently than the others? Love this place and great staff!! I will def keep recommend and coming to Caruso's! read more

This pizza place is amazing the food is amazing the ppl are amazing the deliveryman knows my name because I order from here so many times the family size pizza is amazing the cheese sticks are amazing the wings are to die for and the fact that they give you a 1 Liter bottle of RC for free is awesome nothing bad to say about this place never have the messed up my order and it never takes long for delivery very pleased with the service here read more

I had to try Caruso's thin crust based on all the positive vibes I see they get on yelp. Finally the past weekend I got a thin crust cheese pizza which I picked up. Ready when I arrived, hot and delicious smelling! It was definitely very good. Tasty cracker like crust. Good sweet sauce and nice cheese blend. I will certainly go back for more and other menu items. Was it the best I have tasted? No, however it certainly is in my top 5. I will be back for more that's for sure! read more

really good pizza. they use flour on the bottom of their crust instead of cornmeal, which is more common in Chicago, but its still ok. Wish the sauce were a bit more tangy. read more

All I have to say is WOW. I LOVE this pizza. Everything about is great. The employees are very kind, and are always quick to serve. This is a great place to try really good Chicago pizza, deep dish or thin crust. read more

Great pizza, fast delivery. Website was easy to use to order online. Many memu choices to choose from with reasonable prices and delivery charge read more

This place is a classic mom and pop Chicago pizza joint. The thin crust is outstanding. This place is in my top 10 places for pizza in all of Chicagoland. If you live in the area and you do not order pizza from here, you're an idiot. read more

Last month when I was in Chicago for the first time, I wanted to try real Chicago Style deep dish pizza but near my hotel. I didn't want to go downtown so I went to yelp and found out it was the highest rated place around. I went there and found out why. The pizza isn't the cheapest ($20 but comes with a drink) it but it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Since its a real deep dish pizza, you cannot eat its slices with your hands unless you want to make a mess of your clothes so its best to eat with a fork and knife. I did have to wait 40 min for it and the staff warned me ahead of time before I ordered. I didn't mind that, in fact, while I was waiting, one of the delivery men kept me company talking about hockey. I will look forward to visiting there again when I visit Chicago. read more

By far the BEST pizza I have ever had. I've been going there for 15-20 years now. I've had them cater my kids birthday parties and other family gatherings, and everyone loves Caruso's. Sandwiches such as the Cheesy Beef or the BBQ Beef are great. I've got friends that drive from the city and southern suburbs just to come eat at Caruso's. Also, try their deep dish pizza too. read more

About the only pizza place I have ran across that has a large sized gluten free pizza and at a reasonable price. Sauce and flavor are great and they give you free pop! read more

Dissapointing. Found this place driving by, saw the pizza by the slice sign on the door and decided to try it out and getting dinner home for the fam. I ordered 2 cheese slices to go, and 1 sausage. First they told me they didn't have any sausage slices, I said "ok Make that pepperoni. The guy comes from the back & they tell me they "only have total of 2 sluces left." I said "okkk... make that 2 cheese then." Then the guy comes from the back again, and tells me they actually do have 3 slices left, so he charges me for the 2 cheese plus a pepperoni. Ughhh ok...... after the aggervating confusion, I'm told it'll be 5 minutes, that's fine.... But after15 minutes, it's ready.... I took it home and bit into my jumbo cheese slice, ummm it's partially RAW on the inside. Crust was tasteless, and sort of like floured cardboard? Ick... I was hungry so I ate it anyway, now hoping I won't get sick. Won't be back. read more

Amazing pizza. Friendly staff. Super fast delivery and very consistent which is all you need for a great pizza place. Steak sandwich is great. My favorite is the stuffed pizza with Italian beef, garlic and hot gardinara. Try that and Ull fall in love! read more

Small place quick service, I ordered a slice of sausage pizza and a cheesy beef $10.85 not a bad price . The food was very bland, yet good, nothing to write home about. I would eat here again because it was clean, but not crave this food. I was pleased to see that they make their own dough on premise. read more

This was my first order from this pizza place, because I never heard of them until I received a coupon book. Other pizza places should learn from them. I ordered 18 inch thin crust with mushrooms and onions it was so delicious. Before I used to order from other pizza places but nothing compares to this one I order from them every week or two. This is my go to pizza spot. I already know the delivery drivers. Remember to tip them! read more

When I order pizza it is always a toss of a coin to figure out where I want to go: Mugs or Caruso's! I love everything about their pizzas! The crust is delicious and the toppings and cheese are piled on. They are not stingy at all! It satisfies my pizza lust and then some. Thank you Caruso's for your fast delivery time and yummy eats. read more

Always quick to get to our office and feed us! Super friendly, and always the best pizza. Great people working, and awesome staff!

It is December 18th 2016 the coldest night of the year. We ordered from this restaurant online and got a confirmation. It said delivery would be 30-60 minutes. After 70 minutes I called and they told me it would be another half hour. At two hours we called again and she gave us the option that she could call the driver on his cell phone and cancel the order but we were very hungry at that point, we told her we wanted our dinners. At a total of 2 plus hours the food was delivered The lasagna was flavorless, and overcooked, the edges of the noodles were black. The manicotti was burned to a crisp. The top of the noodles were black and inedible. Couldn't even cut it with a knife. The sauce was flavorless. The bread was soggy and tasteless. We will never order here again, for pickup, eat in, or delivery!!!! read more

Caruso's was very near my old apartment-- I got so spoiled. Friendly staff, really cool owner, DELICIOUS hearty Chicago food. Pizza, cheese fries, Italian beef -- never disappointed. read more

Fast delivery and great pizza. Ordered from here several times since moving to the Des Plaines area and definitely will again next time we have company and just want to order some pizzas. read more

Poor customer service.. they took 2 1/2 hours to deliver my food. The driver stated that the owner has gotten greedy and cares more about making money so he deliver to Skokie and other far away suburbs and people in the surrounding suburbs have to wait FOREVER...and they also always screw up my order. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE Carcuso Des Plaines ...POOR SERVICE read more

Finally a great pizza place!!! The pizza had a great sauce to cheese ratio. For appetizers, we ordered the fried mushrooms and they were awesome! Thank God for Caruso's pizza. read more

Tasty pizza. Ingredients taste really good n fresh... Canned mushrooms? They were good to Ordered a medium with 2.5 toppings. About 16 bucks and came with a 1 liter soda. No complaints except I found the pie to be smallish for a medium. I actually asked if it was indeed a medium. They assured me yes. So Definitely get the large if your feeding more then 2 peeps. read more

Sorry. But really nice delivery guy and staff. But the deep dish pizza was so bad. The cheese was like frozen pizza and no sauce at all. Just had a odd taste disnt eat at all. read more

I really love this pizza. I have ordered from here two times - had the thin crust both times, it has really great flavor and the toppings (pepperoni, mushroom, sausage) were all great. read more

Came in last week, absolutely loved the pizza and enjoyed every bite not only is there menu priced great but they also give you a 1 liter on orders over $12. Will be coming back! read more

Yummy pizza. Love the thin crust and the servce. Good combination of sauce, cheese, crust. This is located right behind jiffy lube on potter and golf. Not that many ppl know about this place so spread the word! read more

Caruso's Pizza at first was amazing the pizza was delivered hot and on time. There has been 3 errors made and this is kind of starting to bother me because this facility is a neighborhood restaurant. When you try to speak with the owner/manager he is very defensive. Maybe they need a recent YELP review to improve. Caruso's I love your pizza I really do but I am not happy of how my orders have been treated. Strike one- you lost my order I never received it but my credit charged Strike two- You lost my order and one of owners ran to deliver it to me 1 hour 30 minutes later Strike three- The deliver guy showed up sat in front of my building in his car from 2:07-2:15 delivered my pizza which was warm not hot just warm. read more

This is one of the finest deep dish pizza and thin crust pizza in Chicagoland area. We ordered one veggie deep dish, it was really good. I mean really good. I was really amazed on the amount of veggies, cheese, crust, and sauce on the deep dish. All of it was proportionate and very good. The thin cheese for the kids was also very good. They finished each and every slice and even ate the crust, which is something that they never do. We picked the order up and were amazed on the quality. We will be back again! read more

I always love coming to Carusos! They have many good food choices and their good is delicious! I have never had bad experiences with it! However, the reason why I rate it 4 stars is because of one experience. I was at my friends house and I ordered the wings and my friend ordered the cheese fries. My meal was completely fine and delicious but his literally had a piece of glass in his food. He bit it and figured that there was a piece of glass in his food! He found other pieces too in there but other than that it was great. That was very dangerous but otherwise, Carusos is great! read more

Caruso's pizzeria has been around since 1993 if I'm not mistaken, and my family has been going there since around that time. Absolutely delicious pizza amongst many other dishes on their menu and the best costumer service I have ever received from any restaurant. I have recently recommended Caruso's to some friends who now claim that Caruso's has the best pizza that they have ever tasted. Recommend this place to anyone who appreciates food. read more

Caruso's Pizza - Thin Crust and Pan are both delicious - Pizza Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

See all

This is by far the best pizza I've ever had in the city. Great stuff, really attentive to their costumers!

Paid nearly $60 dollars for Little Ceasar's pizza and Tyson frozen nuggets. Nope, this place is terrible. Jalapeno poppers were good, but they were frozen too. read more

I ve been coming here for over 12 years and their pizza is always Amazing ! I came in to pick up a slice of pizza and had no idea that they don't do slices after 4pm. They were nice enough to make an exception. They know how to treat their costumers. Definitely coming back :) read more

Went ahead and tried a pan pizza. It was definitely good, but not SPECIAL like the thin. I will be sticking with that from now on.

Best beef sandwich I have found in a long time. Lots of meat and very tasty. Great people. I definitely have to try the pizza next.

This place has great pizza! I've ordered numerous times now. Staff is polite and my food is always on time.

Probably the best thin crust pizza I've ever had. I used to live in the area when I was a kid and moved away and always missed this place! I moved back a few years ago and enjoyed the pizza at least once a month. And sadly now I've moved away and miss this place terribly! The crust is perfectly thin. The sauce is absolutely perfect! Not too sweet or acidic. The toppings were always a perfect amount. Their cheesy beef was fantastic. Cheese fries and fries were always perfectly salted and crispy. The fried cauliflower was to die for! The pastas were always perfect and piping hot when delivered. This is definitely THE pizza place to go to if you're in the area. read more
