Food is decent but their service is atrocious! I ordered takeout and was told 30 minutes. I went in 30 minutes later and was told they'd let me know when it's ready. They never updated me and after another 30 minutes waiting, I checked with the cashier who grabbed my pizza off the shelf and handed to me without saying anything or even looking at me. Apparently it had been sitting there awhile. No one even acknowledged that they had messed up. Now I'm headed home with cold pizza and no one apologized or even acknowledged that they messed up. I'm extremely disappointed with this restaurant read more

Old World Pizza in Elmwood Park is mostly a take-out spot, but they do have a few tables available if you want to dine in. We started off with the Combo Platter, which came loaded with fried mushrooms, zucchini, onion rings, cheese sticks, fries, and garlic bread - definitely a lot to share. For mains, we tried the lasagna, eggplant parmesan, and a few pizzas - a small cheese, a veggie thin crust, and a veggie deep dish. The portions were huge and they don't skimp on toppings. My favorite dish of the night was the eggplant parmesan, it was so delicious! Also, got the cheesecake and brownie for desserts! The service was also excellent, very friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience better. If you're looking for generous portions and a classic neighborhood pizza spot, Old World Pizza is worth checking out. read more

Needed to get a battery quick for my FOB, was told there was one on Harlem Avenue, used Waze for directions. Went by Old Eitld Pizza and it caught my eye. Looked old school style pizza joint. After taking care of my Fob, turned into Old World Pizza. Was greeted by Lucinda or as she liked to be called "Cinda". A lady with a great personality. I informed her it was my first time in this establishment. Just wanted to try a slice of Pizza to go. She couldn't offer me the lunch special since it was past Two. I told her that's okay, I'll remember it for next time. Seems this place has been around over 30 years!!! Ordered a slice of Sausage Pizza to go and told me if comes with a drink so I typically have dropped drinking soda's but asked for a ginger ale for another time. Place had personality & charm, like Cinda. Definitely coming back or catering a luncheon for my clients. Pizza was delicious! Mangia & Cheers! read more

On Friday I placed an order on the phone for carry out. I go to pick it up. 1. They didn't put my order in to cook. What I do appreciate was the owner gave me a discount and free delivery so I wouldn't wait another hour. I was like ok nice service. So me waiting at home and my kids and I wanting to eat the double decker that we saw on instagram. My delivery came to my house and one thing I notice the large box looked more like a small or medium box. Then we open the box and OMG the pizza was extra extra extra burnt and crispy. Had to kinda of forced my kids to take some bites cause they were hungry. At the end I have to cook them something different because you can taste the burnt. Not pleased of the whole experience that day read more

Old World Pizza - The Double Deck Pie - Italian Near Me - Elmwood Park, Illinois

Happy to report that OWP is BACK! With recent ownership change, the deep dish is once again first rate. Tangy sauce topping a deliciously ample layer of cheese and a sturdy, bready (in a good way) crust. But don't overlook tbe thin. Classic cracker crust tavern. Really good sauce on everything. Go to cheese and sausage hits the spot. Wait times can be a bit long--hopefully they'll iron out service hiccups. read more

Been going to this place for over 30 years and the new owners have done a fantastic job staying true to the neighborhood staple this place has always been. Had lunch here today with my wife and daughter and got a 18 inch pepperoni pizza to go. My daughter loved that it was covered in pepperoni and not just a few pieces. read more

Ordered takeout today and the service was fine. They answered the phone quickly and my chicken parm sandwich was made quickly. The sandwich was pretty awesome - lots of melted cheese and the chicken breast was hearty. It could e used a bit more sauce, though. The restaurant area looked OK, some art on the walls. So, might try eat in next time. Good first experience with the food. read more

Pizza is amazing and the ambiance is great and clean. I love a good authentic pizza. Definitely would comeback. Service was great and very tentative! read more

Had the beef sandwich today and I have had a lot of beef sandwiches in my 60 years of life. This is the best beef sandwich I have ever had. Super tender beef, not over cooked and curly and yes I am going to say it. It's better than Johnny's Beef. Much more tender, and melts in your mouth with great bread!! A 5 out of 5!! You have to try it. I ate mine there and the service was very friendly and quick. A must try. Their pizza is excellent too!! Also a must try. read more

Great Pizza, Great People! The Best Deep Dish in Elmwood Park area. The owners are outstanding and always take care of us ! - Tiny Tap read more

Great pizza and even better service. We own a bar that they deliver to and the service is outstanding. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Review from Tiny Tap in Elmwood Park read more

My rating still stands. It was not in error. I may have misstated the price, but the product was still sad.

Delicious pizza with fresh toppings and a perfect crust! Friendly staff and quick service, definitely a new favorite spot.

The food is not bad, but they need to change the staff especially the delivery driver. He ridiculed me and made threats to me of some gang I used to be affiliated with long time ago, I just try to be friendly with him. But he doesn't know when to stop. He needs to be removed and have some people with better attitude to de with the customers. read more

Went there about a year ago and got two slices of pepperoni pizza with a can of pop. Pizza was good but they had some strange extra charge but was $8+ dollars. Went back recently and ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza again with no pop and it was $10+ dollars and they threw in the pop for free? The weird extra charge was gone, but they charged extra for the pepperoni on each slice and the slices were smaller with less cheese and tougher than they were before. I can buy a whole Jack's frozen pepperoni pizza for less than $5 that tastes better than this! Last visit for me! read more

First order was to feed pizza to a group of hungry teens. I do not like Domino's or Papa John's style pizza, but Malnati's is too expensive. I have Old World a call and while it took a while on a Friday night, the delivery was on time and polite. The kids described the pizza as "SO good!" read more

A few reasons why I ordered from 'The Original Old World Pizza - Elmwood Park' was because Upside offered a 17% cash back offer, its location being close to a nearby trail I just ran on, and its family-owned vibe won me over compared to another pizza restaurant in the area. I called in to order prior to leaving the trail rather than ordering once I arrived which went well. I ordered a ravioli (cheese) w/ garlic bread, and an orange crush soda. Nothing else caught my eye at the time, but if I were to have ordered something else other than ravioli, it would have been a 6" individual pan cheese pizza. There is nothing eye-catchy about the exterior of the restaurant, the exterior design blends in well with the neighboring businesses and restaurants. In spite of the parking lot being shared with other businesses and restaurants in the plaza, I had no issues whatsoever finding a parking spot. In spite of me visiting The Original Old World Pizza - Elmwood Park just to pick up takeout, I felt very welcome inside. I categorize it more as a fast casual style of a restaurant with a mom-and-pop vibe. If you wish to dine-in, there is seating available in the dining area, with a television for viewing pleasure as you eat. Atmosphere: 3 1/2 (Okay/ Good) I was acknowledged as soon as I walked up to the counter to confirm my order for pick-up which awaited me. The older woman that assisted me made sure I received everything ordered. She even gave me a clearer receipt which I requested and needed in order to redeem the cash back offer via Upside. Service: 4 (Good) Mmm, I enjoyed the first bite until the last of the cheese ravioli. And honey, I tell you what? It certainly will not be the last time I order cheese ravioli, yasss! I am thankful that I considered it because I would not have had the opportunity to taste this goodness. I do wish that the garlic bread had more of a garlicky taste to it which would have gone well with the ravioli, but I am not complaining. I dipped it into the homemade signature marinara sauce that the ravioli was topped with. Food: 4 (Good) Being that I had a good experience, I would gladly order from The Original Old World Pizza - Elmwood Park again when in the area. Atmosphere: 3 1/2 | Service: 4 | Food: 4 ~ Live. Laugh. Love. ~ Thomas G read more

I was visiting from Mexico and wanted to try some Chicago style pizza. This place did not disappoint! Great service as well.

My old review still basically applies. They seem to have fixed their delivery issues and it always arrives hot and fast. The prep is still a little variable (too much sauce and toppings even if you ask for less) but worth a roll of the dice much more often than not. read more

Have been going to neighborhood for the past 10 years! Great neighborhood pizza spot with nice daily specials

Good place! Nice classic pizza with great prices. Some places get too complicated and weird. Will come again.

We heard some good things about this place and finally made it on over and we were not disappointed. The pizza is really good. A nice crust with a great balance of sauce and cheese. The toppings were plentiful and delicious. We will come back and try their hot dog and Italian beef it looks amazing. One of the owners stopped by the table and was super nice. You can tell they care and are passionate about what they are doing. read more

everything was amazing! from the arrive to the food! the deep dish was perfect! definitely coming back with my family!

Good food, great service, solid specials. Overall a great pizza experience and would recommend

The pizza is amazing and so are the mozzarella sticks! I recommend this place to my friends and family all the time

Cheese everywhere the pizza is no longer stuffed it's empty in the middle sauce and everything is in the Box not inside the pizza. I am beyond horsey y'all did me bogus, I want my money back. read more

Great service and even better pizza! Looking forward to having a new go-to in the area.

So the deep dish is underrated. It's extremely cheesy if that's what you like a lot in the pizza and it's pretty darn good! The thin crust is solid. Not the best in town, but certainly not that bad. There's definitely some consistency issues when you go into order or wait. There have been multiple times where I had to wait a really long time just for one slice. It's also sort of tucked away and hard to find compared to other places in town.I called solid pizza for when you want to switch it up if you've been ordering your favorite a little too much read more

Amazing food, clean and friendly environment! Came here with my family and we had a great time ! Plan to come here again! Try the garlic bread and the deep dish pizza . read more

Highly recommended! I ordered the thin crust half pepperoni and half sausage. The crust was perfectly cooked. It was buttery and delicious. The sauce is slightly sweeter than other pizzerias which I really liked. Typically I'm a pepperoni person but the sausage was really good. Quality ingredients and a friendly staff! Definitely will be back! read more

My family ordered from here for years. But after moving out of the neighborhood, it had been a while since we've had the pizza and it was just as I remember it. Soo good!! We will be ordering from here again regularly. read more

Wonderful pizza! I order it half-baked and then drive home (22 miles away from church) and finish baking it at home!

Food is absolutely amazing. I've been ordering from here for years because the pizza is the best in the area & they have great sandwiches as well, their salad dressing is wonderful too. read more

I ordered 2 pizzas and 24 wings. I was told that it would be ready in about 30 min. I showed up 35 min later and it wasn't ready. Which is ok, so I waited another 20 min in the restaurant for my order. Once I got home this is the pizza we got. Cheese pizza was way over cooked. I bet it was ready on time but they didn't have the rest of my order ready so it stayed in the oven. Terrible tasting and waste of 67 dollars. read more
