We recently moved to the neighborhood and finally tried this pizzeria -- and wow, we're so glad we did! We've ordered a few times and never disappointed. The pizza was always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The crust had the perfect texture, the ingredients tasted high quality, and everything came out hot and fast. The staff was also incredibly welcoming and kind, which made me feel right at home in our new community. It's hard to find a place that has both amazing food and great service, but this spot definitely does. We'll absolutely be coming back regularly and recommending it to friends and family. My city friends can't stop complaining how delicious the pizzas were. So happy to have such a great local pizza place nearby! read more

As someone who grew up on Long Island, I've been craving to find a good place that sells NY pizza by the slice. This place is a little gem in a strip mall that's absolutely fantastic. The staff are all so friendly, and I had no problem ordering a cheese slice (or two!) for myself. It reminded me of the pizza place just up the street from where I grew up, and I'm so sad this place is 45 minutes from my current living situation. It was so delicious! read more

Little Pops NY Pizzeria Express - Cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

This is a small, mostly carry out pizza restaurant hidden around the corner from Mariano's. They have delicious hand-tossed NY style pizza, as well as a thick crust option, and several other menu items including calzones, pasta, appetizers and a lunch special that includes 1 or 2 individual slices and a drink. I've had the lunch special a few times, and last night we decided to order a full pizza for dinner and it was great! There are plenty of toppings to choose from, and I loved my garlic, ricotta and basil half, while the other 2 in my group enjoyed their bacon. We ordered carry out around 7 on a Saturday night and it was ready in approximately 20 minutes. Safe to say this will be my main choice for pizza going forward. 4 stars because it can be a little pricey, and the pricing isn't very clear for toppings on the website. The base price of the pizza is listed at the bottom, but there are no prices by the toppings and the price at the bottom doesn't update, so you can't see the price until you're on the checkout page. read more

I honestly don't know how anyone can provide a bad review for this business. Ordered last night. Fantastic as usual. This is the best pizza in the local area, by far. There are a couple gems in neighboring towns but you gotta figure that out. Hands down the best pizza in the area! read more

I've been there several times. Picked up slices to whole pizzas to calzones. Ever disappointed! Great service from everyone there.

Great pizza! It is, however, a little pricey. Next time I stop in I'm gonna try slices instead of ordering a whole pizza.

I don't mind paying for quality, but at these prices I would expect better than mediocre pizza. Pizzas were undercooked and the sauce was bland and tasted like it was out of a can. Plenty of places around with better pizza at half the price. $29 for a shitty za, GTFO. Never again. read more

My Husband had been looking for a place with good NY style pizza and I'm happy to say he found it! We had tried a few big chain pizza places' NY style pizzas prior to finding Little Pops and they just weren't great. It was our first time trying Little Pops and we loved it! We ordered an 18" pepperoni and some garlic knots. Flavor was great, crust was the perfect mix of thin but still a bit fluffy and chewy where it needed to be! So glad we gave this place a try and we look forward to ordering again! read more

We had Little Pops pizza a while ago. It was a good option for dinner to go when we were in the area for Mariano'a grocery shopping. I need to try them again to give a detailed review on flavor and topping recos. read more

I love this pizza place! I typically order a pepperoni pizza or chorizo pizza but I recently tried their mighty mason pizza and it was to die for. I have also tried their garlic knots but it wasn't anything to write home about. the pizza quality is consistent and delicious each time. The service is quick and friendly. I always recommend this on pizza night! I give it 4.5 stars. read more

Great food no notes. Tried a 14" cyo pizza with pep and garlic knots and everything was awesome :) Keep it up!

Speaking as a New Yorker, I would give it a solid 3 out of 5. The crust had that classic crispness, and the soft topping, and the sauce was light, but the cheese had a slightly bitter note that kept it from fully hitting that authentic New York-style balance. I did purchase an 18" pie for the family, and the wife enjoyed her slice. read more

Big Apple pizza in Aurora is a good way for talking about this, including paying for it because this is hell ass expensive. It has some other pretty good things like the pizza rolls. Little Pop's specializes in the New York style. Come with an open mind about the price and not wanting to pay as much. This trip will certainly cost you. I ordered a pizza for a party so we could eat while watching a game. One medium pizza was our order. That wasn't quite enough to feed everyone but it was enough for my wallet. At the very least the pizza was good. They have so many of these specialty pizzas. If ordering multiple toppings these are more cost effective. The Veggie Pizza was our choice and we replaced the cheese to make it friendly for vegans. It's $22.95 at the regular price for a medium. This has broccoli, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes. It has a pretty good size as a medium. Of course that's only how it is regular. The vegan cheese and vegan chorizo to add is $3 each, and adding on a stupid fee makes this $31.95 for one very good but expensive fucking pizza so know that. Better to order the smallest personal size if you're on a budget. It was a very good pizza but nothing is worth quite that much. They also make these tasty pizza rolls and these too can be made vegan. read more

If you want to call this reheated, burnt, soggy, unappetizing, stinky slop "pizza" then go for it. Our neighbors raved about this pizza, so they ordered cheese sausage, invited us to their place for a get together. First, it looked unappetizing and tasted old, as if it was sitting around and they tossed it in the microwave, the sausage looked like crisped pepperoni. Second, it didn't even taste like pizza, NO fresh taste piping hot from the oven, No traditional pizza sauce taste, hardly any cheese, the flavor and texture was unrecognizable, nothing like any pizza I've ever had: The crust had a "chewy" consistency, you had to really struggle to rip it apart to get a bite. It's a mystery how this place survives with several locations and is expanding. It was like they buy the cheapest frozen pizza at a local market, heat it up, box it, and deliver. Truly, this place does not know how to make pizza. ZERO stars. read more

Really nice New York style pizza. Can't go wrong. Can only do take out but well worth it as it has very good thin crust dough and worth trying. read more

Really delicious! We got the half and half pizzas including margherita, buffalo chicken, chicken parm and bacon ranch. All were delicious!

I've been a fan of little pops since shortly after the original location opened and have nothing but respect and love for the whole family, that being said business is business. I haven't been a fan of this location, yes the freshness is not as crisp since we have to drive it home. Putting that aside. This location has forgotten parts of orders, and most recently, we got a deal approved online, a white pizza and a half cheese half roni pizza. The website sent it to the location as something different. While I was in a online meeting, my wife got a call the deal would not be honored because the pizza wasn't included as part of the deal even though the website allowed it. However after reviewing the email confirmation it completely changed the one pizza. Ok, so they came up with a solution of half and half, however they put red sauce on half pizza which pretty much made both side taste like a bad mixture. Seriously who doesn't know you don't mix a white or garlic sauce with a marinara?!?! I honestly attempted a slice and half and threw the rest out. That being said the other pizza wasn't that great either, the sauce was bland or spiced up, which was really weird like it wasn't mixed or something before being put on the pizza and the cheese didn't taste little pops quality(even from this location), more like dominos. Could this all be a mixture of the mixing and the transport over, possibly, but from a 20 minute ride in a little pops pizza bag??!! Maybe, perhaps, but honestly for the price, I don't expect caviar just a decent f&cking pizza. This all being said, judge this place for what it's worth, I won't be going back except for a calzone. Good luck express. read more

We were at the parking lot and we saw a man carrying a big pizza box. The smell of the pizza was so good that we decided to try and have one delivered to us. We ordered the sampler and margarita. My daughter loved the margarita, she has 2 slices of it. My husband and I enjoyed the sampler, aside from that we ordered mild chicken wings too. The delivery took one hour which was fine for us as we were not hungry yet. Just not sure if that is the standard delivery time. Will we try it again? Definitely! read more

Mediocre pizza nothing crazy tbh I got 10" non ny pizza, I ordered online because I was on break and was trying to use my time to eat. I ordered online but still had to wait 12 minutes because it was made wrong... by that point my fries were all soggy in the container and when I asked for ketchup I got two packets for a whole container of fries. read more

My husband and I checked out the Aurora location (because it was closer) after the Naperville location was reviewed on One Bite Barstool Pizza. My husband LOVES New York style pizza with the large, thin slices. This was recommended to us before, but is a little out of the way, so we stuck to closer pizza restaurants. However, after my husband saw the Naperville location on YouTube, he wanted to try it the next day! The pizza was very delicious. You get larger, triangle slices and the pepperoni was small and extra crispy. The sauce was super flavor with a little kick. The cheese isn't too thick, so the texture is near perfection. This was a great pizza shop and I am glad we tried it. Even though it is a little out of the way, I think this is our new go-to place! read more

Such a solid pizza place if you're looking for NY style pizza. I love that you can order by the slice. I usually gravitate towards pepperoni slices but I just love their plain cheese. The woman at the counter sold me on the Pomodoro slice as well which had just a bit of freshness and richness from the basil and mozzarella. read more

This was our first visit to this pizza place and this type of pizza is not what we expected with the round sausage looking like pepperoni We ordered a small and most of it was not eaten. Will not be going to this establishment again. read more

We got the Mighty Mason pizza for takeout. There's something about fresh basil added to a pizza that really seals the deal. We also got an order of Mac and cheese bites and WOW!! They were amazing and tasted home made. I will definitely be back to try a bbq chicken pizza next! read more

I previously rated this one star. Not sure if my memory about the sausage was faulty or if the place I used to visit in the Village had their own variation. Crumbled sausage I get here has much more flavor than the sliced version. More sauce definitely makes a difference. Since there was so little on the pie I received I added some when I reheated the leftover pieces. That would have rated a three but since it didn't come that way I have raised my rating to two stars. read more

We ordered the bacon, chicken, ranch pizza and it was one of the best pizzas we ever had, hands down. Called in my order and the lady who answered the phone was very kind and helpful. By the time I got there, my order was ready and the workers were all very friendly. One of our new favorite pizza spots! read more

The pizza was ok. Not sure if I'm a NY pizza person. The crust edge was puffy and chewy which was nice. The center super thin and wet. I don't like that they use sausage slices. I got half peppperoni and the person who ate that said the cheese was "weird." The staff was very friendly and nice. My order was correct and on time. I'd say give it a try if you're into NY style pizza, maybe you will enjoy. read more

This location is the 2nd location of Little Pops, and is pick up only. We placed our order over the phone. They did want payment over the phone and asked for a tip, seemed a little pushy, but I get it. We ordered a pepperoni black olive pizza and a gluten free pepperoni pizza. The sauce was absolutely delicious. The pepperoni was super crispy, not too greasy, and the cheese seemed of high quality as well. The gluten free crust was middling. If it was more of a NY style crust like the regular pizzas, this place would be 5 stars in my book. I do appreciate the gluten free options of pizza, pasta, and dessert. read more

Delicious! NY style authenticity sold by the pie or slice as it should be! Perfection

Awesome pizza! The staff is cool and the food speaks for its self definitely a must try. I love the pomodoro pizza!

Friendly service, freshest ingredients and taste. As a New Yorker I was excited to try their slice, and I with every bite I came to the conclusion I've had this before, and then it hit me, it tastes like Dominos! lol..This wasn't really upto par with a real Nyc slice, but otherwise a good slice for what it is! read more

I love this place!!! They have the best pizza ever!!! Just tried the white pizza!!! Wowwwww!!!!! read more

The worst experience tonight. Ordered an 18" half cheese half pineapple and bacon for delivery. The pizza got here slid to one side and the middle of the dough was so soggy it ripped off as I pulled the slice off the box. It wasn't just the half with the pineapple it was the whole pizza. Was offered a credit but I won't be going here again. This wasn't the first time but it wasn't this bad. I expected more from this place but it's no better than joint like Pizza Hut or poppa John's no offense to them. read more

It's good NY style. I would recommend it This place is definitely In my Top 10 and the employees are pretty nice the place looks pretty 80s. read more
