On a previous reviewer's recommendation, I tried their Italian beef. I'd put this as one of my 2 or 3 favorite beef sandwiches (I grew-up near the original Jay's Italian Beef, which will always be my favorite). If the beef is any indication, the rest of their offerings should be really good - I'll have to try something else on their menu. read more

Honestly the best pizza I have had in the burbs and Chicago. The sauce is dynamite. Seriously go try it.

Their thin crust; green pepper/onions is phenomenal! We order takeout occasionally and the pizza is always good. The staff and owners are very friendly. Personally would not have a sit down dinner; very cramped and not much seating. read more

I love this place the service exceptional everyone is always so friendly and the food is amazing. I love this place it's right around the corner from where I live and never order from anywhere! read more

I eat here at least 4 to 5 times a week. Pizza amazing !! The best I have ever tried in my life . Try the steak sandwich it's amazing . Cheese fries are bomb . And their beef sandwiches are delicious . And the staff is amazing . read more

Overrated. Nothing special. We had 2 pizzas. The thin crust pizza is too thick. The sauce had too much pepper . It wasn't sweet and fresh tasting. The sausage was blah. I wouldn't order from there again. I was underwhelmed. read more

Really good tasting pizza the best ! Also nice cheap prizes for a slice in the afternoons and really filling. Crust is good nice service and great customer service ! read more

This review is for the thin crust pizza. After reading yelp reviews, was totally disappointed. Pizza Was nothing like the yelp photos. Crust was doughy hard, sauce tasteless, not cheesy. Dry pie (looks and taste) cut in 2" squares, not moist slice as big as a hand as pictured in one of the yelp photo. I've has better frozen pizza from the grocery store. read more

Walked in 5 minutes after closing, guy couldn't have been happier to take my order. Love these places. Oh yeah, Solid pizza.

This is the best spot for go to normal american Italian food. The prices are average and the portions are large, the people are nice and friendly. The delivery is quick. I've been living in des plaines since 1999 and this place has been around since then, so they must be doing something right. read more

We ordered his pizza last week and simply couldn't resist from orrdering it again. This is now my favorite hidden spot in the burbs for awesome crispy thin crust pizza. read more

Top notch burger! Been looking around the neighborhood for a decent burger and I found it here at Carusos. Owner is top quality people

All time favorite pizza in the suburbs of Des Plaines! They have the best fried mushrooms and I get the XL pizza with Italian beef and hot Jardinero peppers! It's just a one hit wonder! And always ask for a RC one litter when the delivery guy comes he's always nice as well! read more

This place has good food, they are always on time, and their delivery people are very polite. 5 stars all the way around

Pizza is fantastic, but the real treasure here is their Chicken Parm sandwich, best around. Their cheesy meatball sandwich is also a great go to for lunch. read more

Great pizza!! The delivery guys are starting to know my name and address I order so often from here. I'm originally from Chicago and spoiled as in pizza taste but Caruso's definitely delivers! By far best pizza I have had in the burbs. As for other food on the menu it's really good and decently priced. read more

Caruso's pizza rocks!! This pizza is amazing! I high recommend it!! My family can't it enough of it!!

very good local pizza spot. the crust, sauce and cheese all make a great pizza! must try spot

Four stars instead of five because the chick that answered the phone sounded like she wanted to stab me. I don't know if she hates her job or what, but I was so taken aback that I almost hung up midway through the order. She also charged us $2.00 more per item than prices posted on the website. And Carusos has a delivery charge. Plus tip. That said, the delivery guy was great and the sandwiches and thin crust special arrived steaming hot. Generous toppings, perfectly baked, but next time I'll order extra sauce (if I dare.) The family size was definitely enough food for four fat and ravenous adults. read more

The food was really good. The food was probably a 4 star, but I'll tell you why I gave them a 5. I ordered a pizza for delivery, they brought me the wrong style, and without any issues or arguing, the manager said they would send me a new one asap. He said it wasn't indicated on the ticket, but still, not at issue. So because they were so willing to right any wrong, I will definitely be ordering from them again! Thanks for the quality customer service. read more

It's not the best but not the worst. I'm used to actual Chicago thin crust pizza, but this place is decent for the suburbs.

I thought I would try the pizza because people said the pizza was great. I got sausage pizza. The crust tasted hard and I hated the Sauce. I will not go back for the pizza. read more

Just ordered here. I got a Steak tip dinner and a chicken parm calzone. It was so awful . The steak tips were so hard and chewy I couldn't even bite them. No Taste to it. The Calzone was No Flavor and was falling apart !!!!I read the reviews after and wish I didn't order there. To tell the truth I threw up what I ate so I didn't get sick from it. So I spent $40 dollars just to throw up nasty food. Never Ever Ever Going Back To That Place Ever. !!!! read more

I was hopeful, but the lasagna wasn't that great and the garlic bread was tough. Disappointed. I hear their pizza is good, but doubt I'll be back. read more

Nothing beats a place that has the best meals! They are so good in here too, they are very friendly and welcoming, I like that they have a warm attitude about their customers. read more

Amazing good with amazing service, fast deliveries with friendly personal, @ a great price ..! What else could you ask for...!

First of all the pizza is fantastic, but not only that They have the friendliest and most down to earth workers there. They genuinely take care of their customers. read more

Delicious Ribeye steak sandwiches, cheese burgers, and pizza! They also have great pasta dishes and overall service! This is a great mom and pops place that I'm proud to have in our neighborhood. They delivered hot pizza even when it was 20 degrees below zero during our 2014 Chiberia. I just have to remember that they are closed on Mondays ;D read more

Checked out this place when in Chicagoland last week and convinced the fam to try a new pizza. It got a thumbs up from all six of us. Ordered online and delivery was prompt. Pizza was hot, but not entirely cut. I asked, would you order again and got an emphatic: yes! So this is a crowd pleaser. Not the best pizza I've had, but 6/6 satisfied is a winner. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this pizza was!! I am a food snob, (some people would say?!) and I have been looking for a good pizza near to my home (I live in Park Ridge) and I believe I have finally found one that cuts the mustard!! The cheese was good the sausage even better. I had the thin crust cheese and sausage. I am not a fan of deep dish so I have not tried that yet. Used to be you could get a good pizza anywhere, not so these days. I have two more to try in my area but so far this one is the BEST !! read more

This place would've gotten 5 stars if it weren't for the terrible parking. I had to circle around three times just for one spot to open. People were double parked. read more

This place had great reviews, and did not disappoint! Delicious pizza! Not to mention HUGE slice for $3.50! I will definitely be back to continue sampling the menu. read more

Good pizza, at better prices than many surrounding shops, with fast delivery! Got a sausage and mushroom pizza and it was delicious!

One of my favorite pizza places! I keep getting the thin crust pizza with tomato, basil, and garlic, and haven't branched out yet because it's that good. They're usually nice and generous with the garlic (actual garlic, not powder!), which is fantastic. Ingredients taste super fresh, and the crust is crispy and delicious (coming from someone who usually throws out crust). Delivery is fast, and free soda was neat! read more

Caruso's absolutely has the best thin crust pizza in the area. The crust is a perfect texture - not too cracker-y and not too soft. The sauce isn't super sweet. The amount of toppings is generous. Love the 1 liter add-on. So glad I found this place! read more

Good stuff. Always happy to pick up a Caruso's pizza when I've visiting Chicagoland!

First time trying this place. If I could leave a zero, I would. Absolutely, one of the THE worst pizzas I have had. I could have made a better pizza blind folded with both arms and both legs tied behind my back. Where shall I start? Firstly, when I called, the female that answered the phone spoke a mile a minute. She asked me if I lived in Des Plains, but she spoke so quickly, while slurring her words, it took six times before she could make herself understood [so much for public education]. On top of that she was unpleasant. We ordered two large pizzas to be delivered. We waited an hour. Once the delivery man came he had one of our pizzas and a bottle of pepsi [which we did not order]. He told us to call Carusos back, explain the problem and he would come back with the second pizza. I tried calling, I was asked if I would hold. The FIRST hold, I was on hold for ten minutes, hung up, called back, put on hold again, being ASKED AGAIN, but the same girl put me on hold before I could even answer her. They called us back, tried to put the blame on us. She asked if we wanted the second pizza, I said no. She did not say thank you, she did not apologize. She just said "ok" and hung up. Now, on to the pizza. As quickly as possible, I will tell you, the cheese was dry, hard, and tasteless. The crust was dry and hard as well. The one pizza they delivered was a pepperoni and cheese. The pepperoni along with the cheese, would slide off every time we picked up a slice. It was greasy, the cheese was tasteless, as was the pepperoni. The sauce was not tasteless but the flavors were indistinguishable and less than average. Do not misunderstand, the pizza had flavor, average flavor, but regarding the sauce I could not taste the flavor of tomatoes. All that you could taste were the spices. Finely, some man, either a manager or owner called us back and asked if we wanted the second pizza, I told him no. He said, "I am sending the delivery guy over to get the money from the first pizza". I said, fine. He, of course, had no thank you to give us, nor an apology to offer. Just hung up. His delivery boy showed up at 11 pm to collect the money. How rude and poor business is that. Do you think I will return? I can not believe people like this can run a business let alone exist and possess the human abilities to function in normal society. read more

This is BY FAR the best place around for thin crust pizza! I grew up in Chicago, so I've been to some REALLY good pizza places before and Caruso's is as good or better than any place I've been. I've only tried the thin crust pizza so I can't vouch for anything else. Do yourself a favor and try it. read more

Best thin crust pizza in the area hands down. The sauce makes it amazing and 20 bucks for a huge XL pizza with two toppings and a free RC Cola through Grubhub. Yes please read more

Best pizza in the neighborhood. Pizza is always hot, fresh and made exactly as I requested. The staff in the restaurant is friendly. The order is ready when I arrive for a pick up. I've also enjoyed their chicken and steak sandwiches and salads. Really good garlic dressing. The delivery drivers are great. When I order for delivery they always overestimate the time. That's a good thing. Caruso' has been in the neighborhood almost as long as I have and I just learned about them a couple years ago. My suggestion is, sincere there are many apartment buildings in the area they should leave some menus. I found them on GrubHub initially and now you can preorder up to four days ahead. Keep up the great food and service. read more
