This is the same family that owned Nick's that was also in Des Plaines. My family has been eating there since the 1960's. I wanted to try them in the summer, but hadn't realized it was takeout only. I got the chance to try them today & wow...food is amazing!! We got double dough florentine pizza, wings, rolls and a veggie combo. It was all fresh and the wings were nice and meaty. It was my birthday and they wrote happy birthday on the bag and gave me a piece of cake no charge! The staff was also friendly when I went to pick up. I truly appreciate the birthday wishes and the cake!! I will be back and have informed my family how terrific the food is!! Everyone should eat there! Thanks Giuseppe's!!! read more

Had a disappointing order last week. I did go to the store to talk to the Manager, She had the owner call me and I have to say, the Owner was very understanding and rectified the issue in a positive way. Yes, this is a great place for pizza and other entrees. read more

I ordered the fried chicken tonight, I thought it might be good however it tasted and smelled like spoiled chicken, maybe that's just their breading but it makes me wonder read more

Terrible Service & Mediocre Food. I ordered chicken parm with pasta and garlic bread: the latter was neither garlic nor bread, but more like a sponge soaked in butter, while the former had the taste and substance of a rubber chicken heated up in the microwave. The only thing decent was the pasta. What's worse, the delivery driver pounded on the door of my Airbnb as if he were the police eventhough I left clear instructions NOT to knock or to ring, but instead TEXT ONLY. Then, when I called to complain, the manager told me next time to call and explain my instructions over the phone, yet the instructions were printed on the receipt in red letter ink-- the same receipt the driver had in his hot little hand the whole time he was delivering my order. If those instructions were received by the kitchen then why wouldn't they communicate this message to the other members of their team, including the driver? read more

Ordered from them multiple times and always delicious. They have a football size pizza that does the trick for large gatherings.

Great food- great service - highly recommend! Thoroughly enjoyed! If you love pizza! Yummy!

Thank you to Giuseppe's for catering our family reunion / mother's bday. They provided a wonderful experience from beginning to end. From that 1st phone call to the day of delivery everything was handled with such care. Being from a different state California my nerves ran high on how to navigate ordering and working with a company miles away! But Joanne was amazing in helping me secure a menu for 30 ppl even giving suggestions on how much to order. The prices were reasonable and the food was delicious! They arrived on time, trays still warm and well packaged! I highly recommend them for your next event and I'll definitely be ordering again for our next reunion! Enjoy read more

Everyone has their local go-to pizza & pasta spot and this one is ours! The area has many pizza/pasta restaurants and we've tried them all but this is the one we always come back to. Whether it's an order for a few people or a full blown catering order, the food is consistent and good. read more

Giuseppe's Pizzeria and Catering - One greasy pizza - Pizza Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

I began with the Italian Beef Egg Rolls. It came in two pieces. The skin of the egg roll is a lovely crispy golden brown tint. The egg roll stuffing was well-seasoned, the mozzarella ratio was ideal, it didn't overshadow the other ingredients, and it has a slight spicy flavor from the giardiniera. It came with Au Jus, a dipping sauce to accompany with the egg rolls. The broth is light, yet it has a robust beef flavor. For my main meal, I ordered the jumbo slice pizza, which is equivalent to two slices. The toppings were basic, consisting only of bacon and spinach, and they turned out wonderfully. The sauce is light with a tinge of sweetness. The cheese is gooey and evenly dispersed around the pie. The crunchy bacon piece was savory. I wished the spinach hadn't been overcooked in order to keep its vivid green color, which would have added more color to the pizza. The grand finale dessert was lemon knots. It's already prepared and available at the counter. Fortunately, I had a can of San Pellegrino to wash it down because the dough was dry. The dough was coated in a slight lemon flavor and a weird aftertaste that I can't identify. The icing is old and crumbly. This is the only item I was dissatisfied with. The service was efficient. I'm impressed because the meal arrived hot and fresh. I appreciate the staff who is friendly and knowledgable about the menu. She was responsive of my needs in order to make my dine-in experience more enjoyable, despite the fact that the location was not suitable for dine-in. read more

Everything that's made there is absolutely wonderful (and it tastes like it's made with love). I've had individual meals as well as catering. I will willing travel over 30 mins to get the food! read more

Pizza was great as usual. Ribs were good, tangy sauce - maybe too much sauce. Beef sandwich was good, plenty of meat and good peppers. Order was ready when promised, friendly staff. Seemed pricey. read more

I love their pizzas, WINGS, and food overall. Great service also. Hopefully it's healthy because I eat a lot of it

Really good food Super friendly Pizza and Italian beef were delicious I'd go back Curbside delivery was great and fast read more

I used to go to their restaurant in Des Plaines back in the day, they also were part of Nicks La Cantina before Giuseppe's. I was looking for a new carry out pizza after the one I used moved and went down hill. I found them and wondered if they were my old all time favorite, and they were. They have once again become my go to pace for carry out. The service is still impeccable and stellar. The food is still the best read more

I grew up in Des Plaines and recently moved back there. We order from giuseppe's every Friday and have never had a bad meal. They're friendly and very professional. On top of that the food is awesome! read more

When we moved to Des Plaines 22 years ago we wondered where was the good pizza, and we FOUND it here! Even when they were closed after the fire, we waited - not so patiently - for their re-opening and am glad they're still a Des Plaines culinary institution with their take-out location. And they make MORE than pizza, you know: tonight we ordered their family fried chicken dinner and - wow! - the breading was perfectly seasoned and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Way to hit it out of the park, again, Giuseppe's! read more

Received an email from them this morning for a promo 50% off order - phone only. After sitting on hold for several minutes I made my order but was then informed it was for pizza only. As you can see by the attached picture nowhere does it say pizza. Disappointed as this has become my go to since another favorite closed. I don't know if I want to continue to order from them considering the deceptive practices of their marketing. Bait and switch. If you send a promo out you should honor hat you send to your customers. read more

Solid pizza for a pick up or delivery. They offer a counter to eat at. Had a sausage thin crust for pick up. Taste reminds me of the old Pete's Pizza on Western. The service was good. Tried it out based on reviews! read more

I thought for years that one of their nearby competitors had the best pizza; but this one takes the prize! On a business trip this week so I stopped by for the pizza I always dream about. Heading back to West Virginia with it resting on the passenger seat to sustain me on my trip home. Ordered also the Italian beef eg rolls. I like the tender thin sliced beef and the spicy giardinara was nice, not seeing the value there at $8 for two. Thanks for the great product and friendly service. read more

Moved to DesPlaines a couple years ago. Starting order from Giuseppe's and we haven't stopped. The food is outstanding, the service is wonderful and the price is right!! The baked clams are over the top, baked with Panko bread crumbs and the clams are delicious. The pizza is outstanding, the beef is plentiful and juicy. We have tried a numerous amount of items from the menu and its always been positive. This year we have ordered a complete Thanksgiving dinner with stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes, string beans , carrots, cranberry sauce, salad, gravy, pumpkin pie and everything is freshly made nothing frozen. The turkey was perfectly made, juicy and fell off the bone. Delicious. So impressed with this catered Thanksgiving dinner. It will definitely be our go to in years to come. It was PERFECT!!! We want to express our thanks to the owners, management and staff for all you do for your customers. Such hard workers and all are always so pleasant. Giuseppe's is highly recommended for the fresh and delicious foods that they offer on their outstanding menu. Thanks again Giuseppe's for making our Thanksgiving Day perfect!!! read more

Excellent local pizza. We had been occasional in-restaurant patrons at the previous location over the years and rarely ordered for pickup from the new location. But yesterday's ground beef and onion pizza was de-lish! My friend Antonio would engorge himself on Giuseppe's pizza. read more

I felt the Italian beef was a little too thickly, sliced, not thin enough, and I had a slice of a double dough pizza which wasn't so bad definitely would like to try a tavern style in the future. read more

Excellent pizza. Slices are almost always ready to go and fresh. Cheesy garlic bread is the best from here. Employees are super nice. Lemon ice was great too and I haven't had it in awhile. Mmm read more

Stopped into Giuseppe's four days before an event at my house for 65 adults/10 kids. Joanna helped me put it all together with excellent suggestions and taste tests of the pastas we chose. People raved about the food. Sooo good. Their creamy pesto is dreamy. Next time I'll order more Bianco pizzas. That was really popular!! I had a slice. Yum. read more

Great pizza at a reasonable price, specials during the week wasn't you coming back for more.

Good pizza. Used to have a pizza buffet but don't know if they have it since they moved. Had salad and misc . food which were all very good. read more

Pretty good! I've ordered from here twice now at work. I have everyone hooked now. They make a decent pie! They follow directions on making my pizza too. Lolbs! They do seem a little pricey, but I always order delivery & that jacks up the price too. I would actually love to eat a pizza hot from here other than delivery to get the full effect of the place, but with a 30min lunch break I'm sure that may never occur. read more

Mediocre pizza. Crust was tasteless. Topping was good. This definitely wasn't the Chicago style pizza I had hoped for.

My favorite pizza place. Just reviewing it now is making me hungry. I get my out of town guests pizza here so that they can have the good stuff we really enjoy read more

We've been going to Giuseppe's for many years... not only for their great pizza, but also wonderful Italian food! We've held many family parties at their previous Des Plaines location, in private dining rooms & also large banquet room. We still order carry-out & catering from their new location, including many family parties & holidays! read more

I've been a 10+ year happy customer of this business and sadly that has changed. My last few orders were lacking, late or just not right. Last one, ordered spaghetti, but got angel hair and the meat sauce wasn't like it typically is,the order took 85 min to reach me (placing order 3:30 on a Thursday ), the order of mushrooms was overcooked, yet cold. Huge waste of money here. Last 2x pizza wasn't as good either, something has changed...not for better. So disappointing. read more

We ordered several different pizzas for a family get together as our family has varied food requirements. Our son is a vegan and our daughter eats gluten free. Most vegan pizza tastes like you're eating the box, but he said the spicy vegan pizza from Giuseppe's was great. There was a vegan pepperoni on it that was delicious and he was really impressed. My daughter had ordered the gluten free pizza from there before so knew she would be happy with hers. And for the rest of us, we had a huge pizza. I thought there would be leftovers but everyone liked it so much it was all gone by the end of the evening. It was all pretty expensive but in this case we got what we paid for--good food. read more
