Great slices! Pepperoni and vodka cream did not disappoint. Free bottled water? Amazing. Prices were cheap as hell compared to other places. $14 for my wife and I for dinner? Doesn't get much better than that! The guy working even threw in a free slice because they close in 45 minutes. I will be coming back. read more

This place has since been bought out and changed its name. While customer service was great the pizza unfortunately does not taste as good with some sort of recipe change. read more

Just moved to Wheaton and recently hosted a party at home. Since the place is so close to me and I saw they offered gluten-free pizza and slices. I decided to check it out. On my first visit, I tried a few of their jumbo New York style slices. They were not gluten-free unfortunately, but the cheese slice was fantastic. The guy behind the counter mentioned that any of their pizzas can be made gluten-free, which is amazing since most places only offer a plain gluten-free cheese pizza. For my party, I ordered (2) 18inch pizzas margarita and veggie and got the same toppings on a gluten-free crust as well. Everyone really enjoyed the pizzas, and so did I one note the gluten-free crust is best Ian wall hot as it tends to get a bit hard once at Kohl's. Next time, I'll probably just stick with the veggie version since the margarita didn't hold up as well on the firmer crust. The staff member mentioned that everything is made fresh in house daily, except the gluten-free cross which comes frozen and in one size. Overall, this is a great neighborhood, pizza spot and I'll definitely be back. read more

Pie Life Pizzeria - Margarita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

Since they bought out pie life, the pizza has gone down hill. Dough was soggy and couldn't hold the sauce or cheese. Went today and no sausage pizza (ready or being cooked). Really disappointed as I like Pie Life slices. read more

Pizza was the "same" recipe as Pie Life, but does not taste as good. The dough must be a diff recipe because it was meh and too light, the ricotta has a different texture as well, maybe diff brand. We want Jake back!! read more

Jersey Style Pizza in Chicago! Found Pi Life from other Yelpers and knew I had to add to my pizza queue. Visited their Carol Stream location which opened Nov 2024. The original location out of Glen Ellyn is just over a year old. The owner of both locations relocated from Jersey to Chicagoland and brought his pizza skills with him. I stopped out on a Sunday around 12:20, just after open, and they were still cooking most pizzas to sell slices from. Good News: everything was fresh and worth the wait! We started with the Plain Cheese and Fresh Mozz & Sausage slices. The Plain Cheese was a favorite and had a great cheese combination! While we waited for our Sicilian slices, they gave us a complimentary piece of Garlic White pizza. This slice was like fresh, cheesy, garlic bread in pizza form. All pizzas had a great dough undercarriage; no flop! Then came the real deal slices: Grandma Pie & Vodka Cream Pie Sicilian slices! Jersey style is the Grandma/Sicilian style which is a bit more of a doughy crust, cheese, then sauce on top. These both had great flavor and the vodka sauce really added a unique taste. Overall, pricing was not bad at all for slices. We loved trying a variety for the price of one whole pizza. Willis & Andreas were working when we visited and were beyond kind and welcoming. They offered to cut our slices in half for us to share easier and brought us out the fresh slices when they were ready. Note that they don't offer free water cups so be prepared to purchase a beverage. Check out this small business, Jersey pizza spot and enjoy a different take of a Chicago fan favorite! Favorites: Plain Cheese, Grandma Sicilian Pie, Vodka Cream Sicilian Pie Tip: Come about 30-45 minutes after open for slices to get them both fresh but to not have to wait long. read more

Fantastic customer service. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with the friendliest person at the register. He went over the different pizzas with me and was running the store on his own today. I also noticed and liked all the graffiti canvas art on the wall. I went with the garlic white and vodka margharita. They were warmed up for me. The garlic white was good because I love garlic, but the vodka margharita was the way to go. The sauce in top with the crunchy crust had me sold. Everything is made in house from the dough to the sauce. I love that. This is what separates it from the other pizza chains. This is their second location and the pizza here is great. They just need a little more exposure because of the location. If you're in the area definitely stop in and grab a slice to support them. I know I will have to come back for the grandma pie. read more

Pie with vodka sauce is really good! Slices are big and the crust is really crunchy. Great place to get some slices to go quickly

As far as ambiance, I would call this a restaurant in the rough. Or perhaps a no frills restaurant. Basic formica table and chair booths. The pizza slices we got were very good. I really liked the crunchy crust on the sicilian square I got. The basil was very fresh and gave the pizza a nice aroma. IMO one piece of the sicilian pizza would be considered snack size. There were about 8 or 9 different pizza slices made up that we could have chosen on the spot to have heated up and eaten there. I did not see any soda to purchase. There were several cans and bottles but the only beverage I recognized was bottled water. I encouage the owners to provide some type of soda pop or lemonade. I look forward to watching this business grow as those of us in the neighborhood support them. read more

I'm writing this review a couple of days later and wow, I'm still thinking about that crust. It's delicious, crispy, and soft on the inside. It's a bonus that there is hot honey on the counter to dip your crust in. We had a couple of slices and had to order one more because it was delicious! We had the cheese Sicilian pizza, two cheese slices with added mushrooms, and two slices of white garlic pizza. Yum! You order on the counter and they heat it up in their ovens for a couple of minutes. After eating the garlic white pie, my partner was happily surprised how fresh ricotta tasted like. I told him that's the real stuff, authentic ingredients that just make you pause. My one strong suggestion is to please add fountain soda which I didn't see. The restaurant is in a strip mall and since they don't have clear signage, it might be easy to miss. read more

I can't explain how good this place is! A complete unexpected surprise. Popped in on lunch one day just to try it and had some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. Their 3 sauce pizza is fantastic! The restaurant is clean but has zero frills. Not fancy but the pizza is definitely worth a visit! I highly recommend. read more

This is located in between Great Clips and Jimmy John's. Google Maps can be confusing with the directions. I've gone to the Pie Life location in Glen Ellyn but I wanted to check out this location. This location actually has more seating. Getting in/out of the area is easier. Right now, they have the buy any 16" or Sicilian and get one 16" in cheese or margherita for free. I got the Sicilian with vodka cream and margherita. It came out to $33. I believe it runs for the rest of August. There are no bad pizzas here but I highly recommend any of the Sicilian styles. Grandma was equally as good as vodka cream. They all have that perfect crunch each time you take a bite. I recommend getting the single slices to try a variety. Staff was really personable and attentive. Prices are very fair for the quality. read more

One of my favorite treats for myself each week is to stop in and visit Jake at Pie Life. They take pride in their pies and use quality ingredients. The slices are always perfect. They are also constantly improving the vibe in the restaurant with new decor and great music. These guys are the real deal. They care about their customers and their community. Really happy to have this spot so close to home. Don't hesitate to stop in for a slice or order a whole pie. You won't be disappointed! read more

Fantastic, well-balanced pizza with very flavorful crust, good sauce and perfect amount of cheese and other toppings. Ordered a pepperoni with mushroom for take out. This was a perfect, gigantic pizza! Dont let the strip mall storefront confuse you. Really, really nice business. Staff was friendly, efficient and professional. Dont hesitate, order and go pick it up, definitely worth it, the best take out pizza I have ever had. This is the pizza your brain imagines when it thinks pizza. read more

Best New... Jersey? style pizza this side of Manhattan. Because no, I haven't gone to Hoboken to get a slice. I took a full pizza (half pepperoni) to go, as well as a slice of garlic and ricotta. They threw in an extra garlic slice for me, which I appreciated. The hallmark of this style of pizza is a dough that droops. Like, you have to curl the slice up in order to eat it, because it's so floppy. But the bottom can't be soggy either. It's a tight balance, tough to get right, and they nail it. The bottom has just a hint of chew and char that tells you, yeah, these guys know what they're doing. The other half is excellent flavor, and they delivered here too. Fresh tomato flavor, great cheese blend. And the garlic was sharp enough on the white slices that the ricotta went really well with it. If you want to eat in, all the better: grab a booth. But no matter how you take it, Pie Life serves great slices. read more

So good. Had both a Gramma with the vodka sauce and a NJ cheese. Both were excellent! Great to have a place like this in town! Staff is friendly, store is clean. Given that we're in the suburbs of Chicago, it's weird how hard it is to find good pizza, but this place is an exception. read more

Just had it today, and I can say it's one of the best pizza by the slice places I've had around here. The service was great, it was our first time trying and the slices were a great price! We tried the fresh mozz & pepperoni, a three sauce pesto, and a Margherita slice, along with the grandma Sicilian. They were all great choices, the crunch on the crust was so satisfying, and the sauce on the slices were delicious! Will definitely come back :) read more

Best New York style pizza in the western suburbs . Awesome selection , amazing flavors . Fantasy on your tongue

Always great pizza! This place never disappoints. Consistently great on every visit. There is something special about the dough, super thin and crispy with great undercarriage. The quality ingredients shine! When I come with a guest we get one of each slice! Customer service is always good and prices are reasonable, the specials are tough to beat as well. Nice work Pie Life! read more

Service is always so so kind. Generous portions, and generous hearts. I love their thick vodka pizza pie!!! Fun to try another style (New Jersey) that isn't our usual deep dish or regular pizza. You can either go with their pizza pies or their thin crust pizza, which is fun to fold Colorful interior read more

It is hard to stand out as a pizza place anywhere near Chicago - but this place does it...I visited here on a whim about six weeks ago, wanted to check them out and ordered a bunch of different slices just to try a variety of things. I don't know what it's called, but they have a pizza that is cheesy and garlic-y on a slightly thicker crust, that has the sauce on the top - I dreamed about it for a week, have been back twice since then and got my wife hooked on it too. So good. **Found the name of it - it's the Sicilian with Vodka Sauce; amazing. read more

Been here since they first opened up the spot, randomly saw the ad on Instagram and it sure was worth it. Just popped in again after a couple of months and the quality is still there. Pizza is phenomenal, the sauce is delicious , and they are some friendly and welcoming. This place has some nice seating to just stop by for a quick slice and go on your way. My personally favorite is the vodka margarita. The Sicilian is pizza is also amazing. Everything I've tried there has been 10/10. And I mean listen to that crisp read more

I'm a south sider, pizza is my first word & my first snack! JK. But I've had a lot of good pizza. First of all, this pizza wasn't hot when I picked it up. Then we got home & opened the box and it just didn't look appetizing at all. I'm sorry but the size and the slices are not appealing. Maybe elsewhere but not here when you're used to smaller cut pieces. I got a couple toppings on one. The sausage discs or whatever they call them, tasted fine but looked strange. My kids love big slices, but they weren't into this pizza at all. For all the hype, I'd say it was a big disappointment for $30. read more

Got a Sicilian and margarita slice. They crisped it up in the oven. Crisp was nice but almost too much crisp. Kind of lacked flavor. True to form would just do less crisping and figure get some more flavorful slices read more
