Carm A.

$18 dollars for 6 spicy wings & bacon cheese fries. The cheese fries were delicious & the wings were not spicy but good flavor. AND pretty big compared to other places. I want to come back & try the pizza. Service was fast & very nice staff. You can dine in now, I walked in here during covid and there was no dine in. Now you can. So that's cool.

Crispy cheese bread. No sauce in sight.

The wait was over an hour for my tiny 10" pepperoni "pizza" that was $20, before taxes and tip. It was edible but not what I expected. Reality was that I got some crispy cheese bread with pepperonis. Don't know what I expected....maybe some sauce in a pizza?

Square cut Pepperoni Pizza on a 7" salad plate.

We ordered four pizzas-stadium, 16", 14" and 12". The squares were cut extra large, and most of the slices had only one piece of meat. The layer of cheese and sauce was also skimpy. All fours were supposed to be thin crust; they made two hand tossed thickness. I have been a Papa Ray's customer since 2014 (Pulaski location 2014-2020; Des Plaines 2021-present). The quality at the Des Plaines location has been disappointing since we moved into the area.

Where do you find a Greek salad like this?? Only at Papa Rays! Delicious

Fully remodeled restaurant. It's seems new management is in place serving some amazing Papa Rays pizza and wings. There wings are not like other pizza places... These wings steal the show. Big and meaty. Love the pepperoni pizza round cut into squares! Papa rays is a must stop when I'm visiting Illinois!

Monster Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake

First time ordering from here. We ordered a calzone. Wow was it delicious and huge we also ordered the fried mushrooms they are good breaded but not battered like we were expecting. Seeing the food that was being prepared, we will be back to try more menu items! We also ordered the chocolate cake and were given the chocolate brownie to try. They are absolutely delicious and a must try! Just went back to try a pizza, about a week after our first visit. It was very good with I thin and very buttery tasting crust. Definitely going back for more pizzas as well as other items from their menu!

Works pizza! ALMOST GONE

The foods quality was not good, delivery took 2 hours and the overall price was expensive. Not worth trying

07/2026 Rating: 4.5…read more RESTAURANT: Can't miss this location as it was situated right at the corner of a busy intersection. The restaurant is large and have both indoor and outdoor seating. Decor pays homage to its hometown and old school pizzaria vibe. There's one side specifically for togo/online pick up. Restrooms are clean and there are plenty of parking. We noticed some people just sitting on their tables playing with their phones like they were done eating...and then it dawned on us that they were waiting for their 45 mins. pizza. SMH CUSTOMER SERVICE: We were greeted and seated immediatedly. Our server was very nice and she answered all of our questions...I just wished she asked what pizza we wanted first because the last thing she told us after we took our drink order and everything else is that the pizza will take 45 minutes to cook! Which in my mind sounds like a gimmick for us to buy more food while we wait but we were super hungry anyway so it was not an issue for us that day. Anyway, she saw couldn't decide what pizza to get so she suggested we can order half and half! Success! Then, when our pizza finally arrived, our pizza server (a sweet Filipina) insisted on serving our pizza to demonstrate the dramactic cheese pull..and which I appreciated that she indulged me on doing it again for an insta boomering...success! FOOD We ordered the a Chicago deep pizza ofcourse, 10 inch, half pepperoni and half the special. We added the sampler and calamari and house salad. The tomatoes on the bruschetta tasted so light and refreshing on top of the fresh mozarella and bread that even my son whom dislikes tomatoes devoured them. The fried mozarella on their marinari was bomb, same with the chicken nuggets. Now the calamari was completely unexpected. I thought it was just going to be a bunch of chewy rings...but instead it came with the tentacles and fried lemon (which are very bitter) and banana peppers. They were so good especially with a dollop of the marinara sauce. The house salad with the Giordano dressing was delicious. And they did not lie, that pizza arrived in about 45 minutes and by then we were feeling a bit stuffed. The pizza was as promised...it was thick, cheesey and stuffed with fat pieces of sausage and lots of pepperoni. I will probably hold off on the onions next time because there was a lot. Sad to say we had no room for dessert but we were very satisfied. Overall, this visit was an excellent in person experience. We've had a to-go order and a frozen one before but experiencing it in person and in Chicago made it extra special. Price point is pretty fair considering on the quality and amount of food you get. Perfect place to dine with groups of all sizes. May want to order ahead prior to getting to the restaurant, or take your time eating the appetizers to help pass time while you wait for your pizza.

Famous Chicago-Style Pizza chain...for good reason. We enjoyed on our last evening in Chicago area…read more When in Rome, eat like the Romans! Like any Chicago Style Deep Dish, they take a long time to bake. Order ahead or just be patient when you order at table like we did. I typically takes about 40 minutes. We ordered the DEEP DISH PIZZA named "THE SPECIAL". It comes with sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions. It was very delicious. We ordered a 12" size pie for the three of us. It looked so huge that we didn't think we would be able to finish it...but we did. Can't let such good pizza go to waste. Highly recommend when in Chicago area. They are sprinkled all over. We ate at the airport location since stayed at hotel by airport for early morning departure.

Pequod's Pizza is in my home town of Morton Grove, and I hadn't been there in over 50 years! I…read moreremembered the pizza as being exceptional, and had been talking about going back forever. It was a long standing joke between my husband and myself...could this pizza possibly live up to my expectations? And the answer is.... Yup! It is as good as I remembered it to be. The carmelized pan crust looks burnt (they even warn you on the menu that it's supposed to be black), but it's the best part of the pizza. The pizza/tomato sauce was extremely flavorful (not just plain tomatoes like Lou Malnatis or Rosatis). The sausage was delicious, and the onions were sweet. There was a ton of sausage, and lots of onions on the pizza--very generous portions. The mozzarella cheese appetizer was served very hot, and was pretty good. Basically...your typical frozen moz sticks. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. Service was very good. The only negative I can point out is there was an overwhelming mildewy smell when you approach and enter the restaurant. It was very off putting. Overall, this is the best pan pizza I've ever eaten, and as such, I highly recommend Pequod's.

Getting there wasn't the best start. Parking was a challenge, and since there were no available…read morespaces nearby, I had to park about a block away. It was a little frustrating, but I figured the walk would be good exercise before a big meal. The restaurant itself is small and has an older, cozy feel. The dining area is quite compact, so I wouldn't recommend it for large groups or parties. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. We only saw our server three times: to take our order, deliver our food, and bring the check. In between, he was nowhere to be found. The lack of attentiveness and hospitality was disappointing. Thankfully, the deep dish pizza completely turned things around. The crust was crispy with a nice char, giving it excellent flavor and texture. The gooey cheese was evenly distributed throughout the pizza, and I appreciated that the sausage came in generous chunks instead of small crumbles. The tomato sauce was well balanced, neither too sweet nor too acidic which tied everything together beautifully. Despite the disappointing service, the pizza alone is worth coming back for. Next time, though, I'll probably order takeout. With service like this, leaving a tip didn't feel well deserved.
