I am not usually in the crystal lake area but whenever I am I make sure to stop in here! I am a…read moreLake Geneva type of guy and sorry not sorry Lake Geneva but our pizza sucks and none of it is worth talking about. So whenever I am around this spot I practically run to it. This is a nice cozy spot with New York style thin crust being the main draw here. They serve more than just pizza but trust me you come here for the pizza. They have slices up front that are put into an oven right upfront as well before serving ensuring a crispy and warm slice. We got a 14 inch cheese pie and got it well done. We didn't even get to eat it at home because we ate it on the way home because we were that excited to eat it! You can expect a light airy crispy slice with a good sauce to cheese ratio as well. This pizza rocks and I recommend it to everyone who comes through this area. I come from a restaurant background that includes management so I was rather impressed by something I saw in there while I was waiting. Every single kid that was in there was working and very attentive to their individual tasks at hand, not a single person just going through the motions or standing around . These kids/employees are coached very very well and it really shows up in the product and their attention to detail. Please come here if you value good pizza and great service!!

Easily the best New York Style Pizza in Mchenry county. Western BBQ slices on Fridays are great,…read morebut the cheese pizza is the GOAT still. Mac N Cheese pizza on Thursdays is wonderful. Their crust is wonderful, I would love to know how they make their dough and what flour they use. Best slice shop around by far, there's a side room attached to the main entrance but limited seating. More a quick bite or takeout/delivery place. I spent $14.95 on one specialty slices plus two cheese slices and a drink. Super affordable.

Uncle Jerry's is such a unique spot--it shares its location with a deli, which just adds to the…read morecharm. It has that true mom-and-pop, local favorite feel that makes you want to keep coming back. Being located right in downtown Cary gives it even more character. The deep dish pizza is fantastic, with a really interesting twist of hot honey that takes it to another level. It's different in the best way. If you're planning to dine in, make sure you give yourself plenty of time. The line for a table can get long, but the staff works incredibly hard to seat everyone as quickly as possible. If you're in more of a rush, I'd definitely recommend carryout--it's absolutely worth the wait either way. A true local gem.

Let alone in Illinois. I come here at least 2x a week and I'm always left more than satisfied. It's no wonder they've been voted the best in the area for almost a decade now.
