Ordered a pick-up just before closing. Owner took the order and gladly made it despite the fact when we went to pick it up the chairs were already up on the tables. Looked, smelled, tasted fabulous. Will be our go-to thin crust pizza place for sure. We look forward to dining in sometime soon. We had the Funghi and Marinara. read more

Amazing wood fired brick oven pizzas the way it should be done. I've been here twice and the pizzas are fantastic. The suburbs have VERY limited options for these types of pies and Elio's does it right. The crusts are light and slightly charred, the ingredients are fresh, and it all comes together in one glorious pizza. They even char the artichokes and cook the chicken in the brick oven. The prosciutto was amazing. I love bacon...but will never get bacon again if given the option of prosciutto. Have not tried anything but the pizza and focaccia (which were both consumed in record time), but the calzones are huge and i hear the tiramisu is off the charts Can't wait to try both. The place is well decorated with seating for about 35 with a kick ass Coke machine up front. They are in the process of securing a beer/wine license, so be patient and enjoy one of the best za's in the NW Burbs. Pizzas cook quick, so there usually isn't a huge wait. Definitely a great spot in Addison to check out. Update - Now serve beer and wine. Went this past Saturday (3/31) and split 2 pizzas. Neither disappointed. Had the Montana...my personal favorite (tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto and 'shrooms) and a Capricciosa (plum tomato, mozzarella, ham, artichoke, 'shrooms, and olives). No leftovers...love the crust. read more

I've had Elio's twice now and every time I'm left so satisfied. Montana pizza is crazy delicious, as well as the sausage and italian beef pizzas. If you're looking for some solid Tarimisu, Elio's will fulfill your desires. read more

Really killer pizza. Great crust; this is what I imagine pizza from Italy being like. One night I was really hungry and ordered a prosciutto pizza all for myself! Normally though, its a good size for two people. It's very filling and you don't feel gross afterwards because it's not super greasy. Happy to have this place in my hometown of Addison! read more

This place is OK but not in the same league as Chicagoland's other Neapolitan pizzerias. We ate at Spacca Napoli the night before, so we had an immediate basis for comparison. These pizzas should have a char on the crust, but one side of each of our pizzas was simply burned. Limited and uninteresting beer and wine selection. Pricing was fair. read more

Another good pizza place. Wood fire pizza! Small place but worth the find. Keep this place on top of your list.

I'm a pizza snob - there, I said it. I make my own dough, I have a baking steel at home, and my college roommate is an Italian cheese maker. The long and short of it? Elios is the best pizza I've had east of the Mississippi. Better than my own. I rate pizza based on the quality of a Margarita. And this is unbelievable. My buddy and I have a standard ordering procedure - we order two margaritas, to be brought out 10 min apart, so each slice is perfect. Don't laugh, it's awesome! read more

Unbelievable! My only complaint is that it is such a small place. Everything on the menu is fantastic.

My fiance went here with a friend and has been wanting to bring me ever since, raving about the prosciutto - and he doesn't even like ham. We were in the area recently and I finally got to see what all the fuss was about. The pizza is wood-fired and Neopolitan style, and they have a wide variety of topping options. We split a Rustica (with the famous crispy prosciutto, which almost tastes like bacon) and a Bufalina (with delicious buffalo mozzarella.) The two varieties were very different, but equally delicious. The restaurant is very cute, but tiny. I'd love to see them expand, or preferably move to a different location (the strip mall it's in isn't particularly appealing.) And yes, the prosciutto really is that good. read more

This is a really good pizza place. Very welcoming and cozy Tuscan inspired atmosphere. Their pizzas are excellent. My favorite one hands down is their Ortolana pizza, which has roasted red peppers, zucchini and eggplant. It's so beautiful tasting. The good thing about this place is their pizza selection are very Italian, very authentic. read more

I've been to Elio's a few times since my first visit. What I've learned is I started out pretty strong. The Biancaneve is still my favorite pizza that I've tried. Since then I've tried the bacon and Hawaiian pizzas. The bacon pizza was almost too floppy to eat. The bacon wasn't crisp so it just tasted like ham. Not to say it wasn't a good pizza, it was still yummy, just not what I was expecting. The Hawaiian pizza was pretty yummy, and a bit adventurous for me. I never thought I'd actually try it, but the other person I was with wanted to try it. It was pretty delicious! read more

I want to like this place. First couple of times were fine except for one time when the waitress forgot to put in our order. Now the last 3 times for cary out I have had 2 problems. A. the pizzas were NOT COOKED IN THE MIDDLE. Could not even get a whole slice out. I needed a ink blotter to get the middle out. B. Every time I order off their website and go to pick up its ALWAYS a higher price then what's on the website. Not a little over , but 25% higher. I just have a feeling that the employee's are getting complacent and their Web guy passed. read more

Pizza was great, the atmosphere was great, The only thing I have to gripe about is when you're asked what you would like to drink and you ask for water, you want water in a glass you should not be charged for water, Unless you are given the option "bottled " or not, I'm not cheep but that was a cheep trick... read more

I went here on a Friday night and it was packed. It's a very small space, so no where to sit when it's full. There was a long line of people waiting and the servers seemed very stressed. The wait was going to be 40 minutes so we decided to take our pizza to go instead. The pizza itself took a while to cook (20 minutes) which is surprising because Neapolitan pizza should cook within 3 to 4 minutes. I tried the Rustica pizza and it was okay - not very memorable or flavorful. My fiance did not like it, and we both generally love all pizza. I would come back again to try a different pizza when they are less busy...but overall I felt like this place was run by people who had no idea what they were doing in terms of service because of how chaotic it was at 7 o'clock on a Friday night with the wait for pizza that should take only 4 minutes to cook. read more

Got the margarita pizza to go. Was not cooked in the middle. Imagine that was a mistake so I will try again. Had good flavor so hoping it's better next time. May dine in as it seems like a cool place to eat. Some of the other things I saw coming out to diners looked great (salads, sandwiches, etc.). read more

Amazing place for Neapolitan style pizza. Thin crust that so, so tasty with just enough salt and sweetness that makes you mouth water,a little blistered edges, quality, fresh ingredients on the top of the pie..hmmm. The best ever. My boyfriend and I do "quality control" dining every Thursday and Elio's never disappoints. Elio and Memo(spelling?,) super nice guys with European hospitality at their hearts. If you're looking for "fancy shmency" place Elio's is not it!! But if you want amazing pizza, great service and owners who take pride in their food- come and dine here!! Just a suggestion...Elio's thin crust pizza is best enjoyed dining in when the pie comes straight from their wood burning oven and right onto your plate, still too hot to eat, but looking beautiful and smelling even better. However leftovers are still super yummy. Best of luck to the owners and I hope they will stay around long long time to bake for us. Gracie!! read more

We get the same thing every week, margarita pizza and a panzerotti. The wood fired Sicilian style pizza is thin, crispy, and incredibly tasty! The panzerotti is baked, fluffy and the best I've ever had. Coming from an Italian family, that's a statement! Not like they can do anything about it but the pizza is cold when I get home which is 10 min away. It's because it's real thin. Eat here!! read more

Best brick oven pizza in Chicagoland! It is worth a trip out to the burbs!

I have been coming to this place since it opened and every time I go, it gets better and better. I always get the bruschetta tradizionale to start with and the bread is perfectly toasted and the tomatoes are always so FRESH! Their pizza is amazing and has that just enough char on the crust that gives it that yummy rustic taste. Every time I go here I feel like I am sitting outside staring at the rolling hills of Tuscany. Ok, maybe a little exaggerated, but seriously- it is THAT good. Disclaimer: Don't go here if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. Since they make everything fresh when you order it, it takes a little while. But the wait makes it so so sooooo worth it. read more

Best pizza outside of Italy. Trust me, I've been to Italy and when you take a bite into this pizza you feel like you are in Italy, it's that authentic. Service isn't bad, much better than when they first opened. Treat yourself to a nutella crape for dessert, you won't regret it. read more

Omg my boyfriend and I went here last night in effort to find a New York style pizza in our area. BUT OMG we got a lot more than that!!!!! This was by far the best pizza we've ever had. It's a very little family owned restaurant decorated with an Italian touch. The wood burning oven keeps the place nice and warm. We sat right by the oven and saw all of the deliciousness coming out of the oven. There were only two people running it. The person making the pizzas and one server. So if it's a busy day, be prepared to wait. We gladly waited. And boy, it was worth it!!!! We ordered two pizzas. I ordered that Margherita pizza Rossa and my boyfriend ordered the Italian Beef pizza Rossa. It was beyond delicious. I want to go back again today!!!!! I definitely suggest this place. I'm not even one for pizza. But I LOVE this pizza. read more

Oh my dear god. Salmone pizza, i'm badic white girling out I can't even. It's SO GOOD. This place needs to expand and kick the crap out of white cottage pizzeria. I cannot rave more about a place. Will be back, 100 times over. Just made me a customer for life. read more

Best pizza in the Chicago area. Actually, best pizza I've had stateside since visiting Italy. It's thin crust, wood fired with authentic ingredients like prosciutto and fresh mozzarella. It looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but is much nicer and bigger inside than it appears. Ever since we discovered this place it has quickly become one of our favorite places to go! read more

Really enjoyed the pizza here. The one with the proscuitto and arugula was impressive.

4 out of 10 Got there with only two tables available outside on a warm nite. Waited what seemed like a long time for a totally inexperienced staf to seat us . Finally giot a waiter to take an order after ten minutes . The caprese was large and very appetizing . The so called wood fired oven that supposedly cooks a thin crust pizza in 5 -7 minutes took about eighteen because they only do one at a timed. No water , must buy bottled no ice available. Everything served in a plastic cup. Strictly a second class store front operation maybe great for Addison il but hardly a place Hungry Hound channel 7 chicago would recommend . Don't waste your time . read more

We have come here atleast 4 times and I have to say its my favorite pizza place. Never disappoints. Small place and you might have to wait unless you make a reservation but well well well worth the wait. I have eaten Chicago pizza my whole life and this style is my favorite so far. Very well priced also. read more

Best pizza in the area hands down, the pizza is very authentic and has good flavor, price is very reasonable and worth every penny, my one complaint is the dining area is kinda small but once you start eating the food it makes up for it ;) read more

My boyfriend and I tried this pizza place for the first time. We ordered a veggie thin-crust pizza. I must say I was not impressed but disappointed. My boyfriend liked it. Though the pizza was made fresh it lacks flavor. Also, the toppings should not fall off the pizza the moment you pick it up. I felt like I was eating a soggy pizza and the only part that was hard was the crust. read more

I was just out with my mom and my friend at a PumpItUp nearby and we were just searching for a place to eat. We then came across Elio's and decided we would eat there because I LOVE pizza. Then...when my mouth touched that pizza...THIS IS THE FREAKING BEST PIZZA IN THE UNIVERSE!!! I gobbled it down and knew I would would be coming back! ;) read more

Best Pizza I've ever had. My family is regular customers. My dad is very serious and picky about his pizza, and we come here every weekend. We found the perfect restaurant. The whole pizza is made so well, my favorite part is the cheese. Everyone is so nice there and they have such good service. They knew our whole order within just a few times of going. Go and you won't regret it! Love this pizza! read more

Authenticity starts from the people behind the counter. A real Italian couple, complete with speaking the language and cooking with passion. Hard to find though, look for the McDonalds and go to the strip mall, its the place at the end of it. The location is pretty small and the wood fired oven makes for a focal point. I had the margherita pizza. A common go-to choice, and a good benchmark to compare stone/wood oven pizza places everywhere. The closest competition in terms of menu has to be Brix in Lombard. The fact of the matter is that Elio wins the Margherita challenge. Because of how good the Margherita was, I took home the roasted pepper, eggplant and zucchini pizza ( I dont remember the Italian name). Even reheated the next day it was delicious! The veggies were grilled before going on the pizza, they were fresh and this pizza tasted like it was good for you! In a healthy way! I must return to try their sandwiches or focaccia items! read more

Elio Pizza On Fire - Pizza Near Me - Addison, Illinois

Traveling to airport the wife and I felt like Pizza so we stopped at Elio' s. I had a pizza and my wife had a calzone, they were both delicious and reasonably priced. Family run and great friendly service. We are from the West coast and felt obligated to write a review because it was so good ! read more

This place was an absolute hidden GEM!! I was in town for a work trip and we just googled pizza places and we we're MORE than impressed! The antipasti was to.die.for!! The owner even came out and explained what each of the three cheeses were and how long they were aged for. The pizza....omg, the pizza....AH-Mazing!! Hawaiian and Rustico were so delicious!! I wish I could have taken it all back on the plane with me. Friendly staff all around, right down to the Italian they were speaking to other customers, this place was home away from home! Love Love Love! read more

My fiance just brought home the hawaiian pizza. I've been hearing raves about this place and I'm happy to say that it's lived up to it's rep. I JUST got back from Italy and let me tell you, this pizza is straight up Italian style and quality. This is the best pizza I've ever had in the US. I look forward to dining-in. As I've said before, I've heard raves not only about the food but also the atmoshpere. My finace said the staff is very friendly and incredibly gracious and hospitable. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion size and quality of ingredients. Apparently he went there over the weekend as well and was very impressed. I will be reviewing again after I personally visit. So excited. read more

I love a great wood burning pizza and this is definitely the place to get it. Good thing come to those who wait at this place. Pizza, and appetizers are so friggin good. read more

One word! Greasy! Our pizza was so greasy in the middle it sort of looked like a certain flaccid extremity. Then it was so burnt at the edges it wasn't even worth eating the whole pizza. If we weren't so hungry that day we wouldn't of eaten the pizza. Also the place was so small no wonder people went in and out of the place so quickly. I had better places so I suggest to go somewhere else! read more

We went here for my moms 67th birthday. Each had a pizza. The rustica was the bomb so good, fresh ingredients,mozzarella all good. Then they brought my mom a Nutella crepe which by the way is sooooo delish. Mmmmm yummy. Then we also got some and they even treated us all for them. Thanks to the staff. Nice people great place for pizza al forno. read more

Great pizza I wasn't feeling to risky so I just got the sausage but it seems they have lots of unique choices. Also, there bruschetta was to die for! Def would recommend!!!! read more

Delicious Italian pizza! I highly recommend the Rustica, that was my favorite!!! Must try the tiramisu with expresso, absolutely wonderful!!! read more

Decent wood fired joint. Not terribly impressed. They use Kraukus ham.. 'nuff said on that front.. Beer selection is novice level. They need to work on their topping selections more before I can consider more stars. I'd give 'em 2.5 stars if they were in the city surrounded by more options/competition... read more
