Davis Bros is the kind of place that you either love it or you hate it. I love it. I grew up eating Davis Bros. My whole family loves this place. Whenever we are back in Peoria we always eat at East Peoria Davis Bros. The pizza is very thin and crispy. It has yellow and white cheese. It has a ground sausage. It doesn't have a lot of sauce. I love it exactly this way. It is not greasy. There was one waitress on a Tuesday night and she did a great job serving all the tables. We were there at 530. From 3-6 m-f they have $6 individual pizzas during happy hour. read more

I ordered a cheese pizza with sausage and extra cheese. When it was delivered, it had onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. When I called the restaurant about this I was told all pizzas come with those veggies. I was told I needed to remove them on the app even though I didn't order them. I ordered a cheese pizza with sausage and extra cheese. If I had wanted those e tra items, I would have ordered a deluxe pizza. read more

Everything! The food was cold and the salad was brown and was all bad the service was so bad

Review Visit: February 23rd, 2014 The beginning of a long day full of unexpected traveling. Davis Bros is one of those local places that everyone seems to love but one I had never tried until 2014. That is until a bunch of us had a work meeting and then decided to get food afterwards. That lead us to going to Davis Bros pizza based on Eli's suggestion. We rolled up in the late afternoon to an empty restaurant. As seems to be my luck, we always seem to get to places that are in a lull between meals. The three of us grabbed a booth and got to looking over the menu. If memory serves me right, I told Matt and Eli to order whatever they wanted and I will go along with it as I was new to this place and sometimes I just like to take a backseat to things instead of always being in charge. What Eli and Matt ordered, I don't recall except the sausage on it was not sausage I like. I will be the first to claim ignorance on pizza toppings despite being a pizza lover. When it comes to sausage, there is the good kind that I like and the bad kind that I don't like. The one I don't like is the one that resembles ground hamburger. For whatever reason that I can't explain, I am not a fan of it but alas, that is what came on our pizza. Aside from the pizza being littered with those faux pas sausage chunks, it was a decent pizza. Not one that I would drool over if someone mentioned "Davis Bros" in my presence. I don't mean that to sound too harsh as I am willing to give them another try, just without sausage on the next one. (And yes, after writing this post I did Google the difference between pizza sausages to avoid that mistake in the future.) What I do like is that this place lead to a long and entertaining night with Eli and Matt up in the Quad Cities. What exactly happened up there in the Isle of Capri Casino is a story for another day. I will say it ended with Eli being 56'd by Security and us driving home at like 2am. If you know that code 56 is, then you can guess what happened. P.S. - Davis Bros. does sell frozen pizzas in the local markets around this area. Maybe that's what people rave about. So, if you can't make it to the restaurant, you can always pick up a frozen one to try at home. read more

I waited 20 years to come back tonPeoria, Il and have a Davis Brother"s pizza. that's all I wanted. I got it and couldn't have been more disappointed in its appearance, taste, and quality. It was absolutely terrible. They went from first to last. Did they change ownership ? This was nothing to the original Davis Brothers. Too bad to see a central Illinois icon lay to waste. read more

Spoke to the owner today regarding a pizza that was made incorrectly. I have someone who is allergic to onions and onions were placed on the pizza. The owner was not cooperative, seemed unconcerned about the situation. Offered to remake the pizza, but we had already used our free DoorDash offer.. She had no way to correct this situation and it's clearly unable to think outside the box. Will never order from here again and we'll make known on Facebook. Appear she won't be in business for long as she cannot correct a simple pizza air. read more

Picked up a Togo order and when I got home I found out that I was charged for a tip 5.31 on a 27.45 bill I believe that is a little high for handling me a pizza this happened on Saturday night with cashier Courtney p so if you want to tip some one for handing you a pizza go here!7 read more

Get rid of the tall, ugly waitress who is cheating customers! She purposely ordered a medium for me and acted like it was a mistake when I asked her about it. I went ahead and paid for it knowing I would NEVER eat there again. I reported the black mold a long time ago to the Creve Couer authorities and it's still above the ceiling tiles. People could get cancer! read more

Davis Brothers has the best pizza in the world. I have I have been going to Davis Brothers for probably about 29 some years. I am going to pick one up today, maybe two. read more

Will not be back!!! Watch your tickets. They charge for using debt card but I paid with cash and still charged me. Would not change it. Poor poor business practice. read more

I called ahead and ordered 6 pizzas and told them we would be there 6-630pm. They were served and hot right on time. The place was clean and staff was very attentive. The best part when she brought out the Hawaiian pizza last. We were all so full but dug in any way and it was delicious. I hadn't been there in awhile but will be going back. read more

If you want to understand why a world class company like Caterpillar would want to get the heck out of Peoria and especially East Peoria then come to Davis Brothers .... It is OK central Illinois thin crust pizza ..... But devoid of any culture or class whatsoever.... read more

See all

I am done with this pizza four times the pizza has not been correct The last asked for xtra sauce, pizza came out Ilooked and asked server if this was xtra sauce. She said yes came home lifted a slice apart barley any sauce. This was the final mistake for me. I will go to Creve Couer longer drive but better pizza get what I ask for. read more

Ok.. the place probably hasn't had any update for a LONG time. But is does give it some charm. We went there in the middle of a day. Had a Bud light and Hard Seltzer. Ordered a plain cheese x-tra well done pizza. And went to old school tavern style thin crust pizza heaven. This will be a must go for me when visiting Peoria. If you are expecting other styles or types of pizza, by the look of some reviews, this is not your place. I can only imagine this place in its day, but the pizza was just what I was looking for. There was a place in Northbrook, IL called Tonelii's. This gets as close as that was for me. read more

Went to this establishment on 6/22/24. Food was good, however, I will not be back. I left a tip on the table and went up and paid with card when leaving. The next day I found that they had charged me another $5...apparently they thought they deserved this. I called and they said they closed out ticket at the end of the night. The ticket should have been closed out at my time of departure!!! The servers name is Shannon P. Be careful. read more

Our favorite pizza in the entire area! Our family from out of town always want to go here first!! Thank you!!

The service was horrible me and my wife waited an hour for mozzarella sticks and two pizzas and after an hour got told they were out of mozzarella sticks and would you just like to cancel your order because they didn't even start our pizza yet read more

Love the pizza but tonight's service was not good. We did an online order and said it would take 20 mins to make. We got there after about 15 mins and checked in and they said it would be a little bit longer which was perfectly fine but not another 30 mins of waiting. We ended up waiting a little bit over 30 mins inside and was never offered a drink or anything for them not having our order ready in a decent amount of time. Overall was almost 50 mins since the order was placed to when it was ready and they were not busy either. Another women came in after us and they told her they didn't get her order so it wasn't ready and then refunded her since she didn't want to wait. I feel like that was the case for us as well but they didn't tell us that and so we waited without knowing it would take so long. They apologized for the wait but that was it. I will be going to driftwood from now on. read more

Went for lunch today with family! Worst Davis Bros pizzza I have had. We grew up on Davis Bros Pizza for over 65+ years and that was not a Davis Bros original! It looked good, a lot of cheese but the purpose of the cheese was the fact you couldn't find the sausage! We had 3 pizzas and they were all the same. You lift up the cheese and you might see what there was of the sausage. The pepper flakes were bigger than the sausage bits. Pay close to $22 for a Supreme you expect more than cheese! We were going to have the lunch buffet but all those pizzas looked like they had been there awhile looked very dried up already. I understand prices have gone up but quality should still be there for those prices. Driftwood in CC is more like The original Davis Bros than what EP is putting out. You want business, stick with the brand. I was shocked and highly disappointed. CC was closed that's why we decided on EP! N read more

Tried 3 times to get my pizza right. Never did. Pizza was just thrown in box. Finally just left with what a got. Larry's Driftwood it is

Great old school Central Illinois pizza, thin crust cut in thin strips. My guest and I started with the salad bar, and since it was Friday night it was buy one get one for free. I ordered the Deluxe Pizza and the waitress recommended adding pepper and onions. I can say that I am happy I listened to her because the pizza was fantastic. I will be back again! read more

The sausage on our pizza tasted old like freezer burn but worse and no effort was made to correct it for us just excuses that they ran out of the usual sausage. Praying we do not get food poisoning from it. read more

Absolutely the best pizza hands down. Not the typical pizza most expect. Completely covered in flavorful mild pork sausage (not greasy at all), diced onions and green peppers, with cheese slices, and the crust is light and super crispy. I live in Milwaukee and make sure anytime I am within striking distance to get pizza here. It's not a fancy place it just has fantastic pizza! read more

Under new ownership and had the best experience I've had there in 10 years. The quality and service was excellent! Very friendly staff and excited for them to invest in their future growth. I'll be back! read more

Personally, I like the pizza. I still can't give the restaurant a very high rating. Let me explain the pros and cons of Davis bros pizza. PROS: PIZZA As I said, I really like the pizza. It is a St. Louis style crust, very thin. There are a lot of toppings on the pizza, not a lot of sauce and it's cut into small thin strips. They do not use a lot of cheese. This kind of pizza can be dry. That's why we always order extra cheese. SERVICE This restaurant is usually very busy. That may explain some of the comments about service. We always get pretty good service when we are here. The kitchen is a little slow. CONS: BUILDING This restaurant building is old, it's not kept up very well. In fact, the restrooms can be nasty. I like the pizza so I don't want to see the kitchen. LOL COST. The pizza is expensive. They do have a daily special and they are OK at best. SALAD BAR. Nope. The salad dressing is in prepackaged containers. Styrofoam plates and plastic forks. Does that give you an idea? read more

If there was a zero rating they would get it. An hour and a half later, we have no pizza. When we inquired, we got no response and no one seemed to care. So we left. I grew up on Davis Bros. Pizza and I travel 10 miles to get, rather sit and wait for nothing. We're done. We will never go back there again which leaves me heart broken. read more

Saltine "cracker crust" the box It came in and the gas to cook it cost more than the ingredients and quality of the pizza. I asked for pie cut and got it cut into strips. Onion and green pepper were standard topping. Problay to enhance the flavorless sauce. This pizza was hot garbage in the shape of a circle.3.2 one bite review read more

We went in Sunday evening around 6 pm. Sat for 10 to 15 minutes then waitress came and told us we could stay if we wanted to but the cooks were about ready to walk out. We never got a drink or anything so we left. A lady and her daughter who came in behind us also left. There was a table of 6 who had drinks who got up and left. The 2 waitresses had both just come in from smoking cigarettes. So won't be going back there soon read more

What the hell!! Got there at 6:30 - 10 minutes to get anybody's attention took another 10 to 15 minutes to get to order and then an hour and a half and my pizza still wasn't ready - so after being there for almost 2 hours we left with no food. What a horrible way to run a business. If you're in the mood for pizza go somewhere else. read more

Pizza absolutely excellent. My parents are from the area came back for a visit had to stop and have some pizza.

The pizza was a MAJOR disappointment along with the service. We waited over 45 minutes for pizza and it was not busy. We carried it out. It was inedible. It was nasty‼ We used to love Davis Bros Pizza, not any more. read more

Worst experience I ever had at a restaurant. Ordered our pizza at 6:13, started inquiring as to the status of our order at 6:45, waitress was told by kitchen staff "it was in the oven" and she was very apologetic. We needed to be at a HS football game by 7:30. It was a Friday night. We decided to wait some more since it was in the oven. Waitress checked again at 7pm, told " it was still in the oven". At 7:25 our waitress came out and sheepishly told us that it turns out there was no pizza. By then over a dozen people had come in after us, eaten, and left. My wife hadn't eaten lunch, my daughter and granddaughter were with us as well. The waitress didn't change us for the drinks. I personally went back and loudly "thanked" the kitchen staff for screwing up our order and lying about it being in the oven. They just avoided my gaze. So we went to the game and got a sandwich there. Can't understand the poor service. I don't believe there was a manager on duty. Apparently our experience was not uncommon, judging by the other comments. read more

Love this spot! If you've ever eaten at Larry's Driftwood in Creve Coeur this recipe is the same or very nearly the same. Cracker thin super crisp crust, crumbly sausage, just the right amount of cheese (although upon sight, it LOOKS like not nearly enough cheese-the sauce still shows throughout, but somehow it works). I have always had great service. Seems like a bit of a "hole in the wall" but I love this place. read more

Davis Bros Pizza Inc - Exterior - Pizza Near Me - East Peoria, Illinois

Best pizza around. Great service friendly hometown service. Great staff. Thin crust lots of toppings. Classic

This is the WORST pizza in central Illinois. Tastes like ketchup on a crust with strips of American cheese.

Two times in a row my pizza was incorrect as to what I had ordered. The next time I ordered ( now being the 3rd consecutive time), my pizza hardly had any cheese on it at all - ordered an extra cheese pizza . The manager in which I talked to insulted me by asking me if I knew their cheese policy's and said I could get 10/20 percent off my next order ..... No thank you ! Sad because, I used to love Davis Bros. Pizza read more

Cheryl, you need to retrain your employees. My family was in the east peoria location Friday night 6pm 5-15-2015. We sat at a table for over 20 minutes waiting to be acknowledged. During this time, we observed 5 wait staff. 2 were to busy talking and texting by the bar, one was running around doing her job, the others who knows. We walked out. Then I called to speak to you. It seems the staff does an excellent job of shielding you than they do taking care of customers. Long story short, we went to the driftwood, found a better product and a staff willing to take our order in a few minutes. They were of course busier than you and I can see why. Pat your staff on the back, you should be proud of them. You lost us after 12 years. read more

I remember when I was younger that Davis Bros Pizza was one of those local places everyone enjoyed. I recall going there a few times as a kid. After trying it out as an adult I do not see what the hype is about. There are people I know who swear by this pizza. The pizza reminds me of low budge Monical's pizza. The flavor is not that great. If you like thin crust then you'll find they have mastered that. The pizzas are expensive in relation to the size as well. The last few times I've been here, I have asked myself why I put myself through it. I swear some times I get temporary amnesia when it comes to restaurants. Once I start eating the food, it hits me like a ton of bricks. Ooooooooh, that's why I don't come here. I think I learned my lesson and will be skipping out from this point forward. It is a shame because the Peoria area is lacking in really great local pizza joints. read more
