I wanted to like this place after a friend told me about Pizza Castle and reading the reviews here, but this pizza was average at best. I ordered an XL sausage. The tape measure, brought out because the pizza looked small, indicated it was a L. That had no bearing on the taste and quality of the pizza. About 10% of the pizza was not edible because that corner was extremely burned, not well done, but burned. When the pizza finally arrived at my house, 1 hour 39 minutes later, I am just under two miles away, the pizza was barely warm. The fries were cold limp grease sticks. Their menu, that states, "We Get "Em Hot To Your House" and "REALLY FAST DELIVERY" proved to be false, at least in my experience. I would have been better off putting in a frozen pizza in the oven, it would have tasted better, would have been hot, and I wouldn't have had to wait so long. I am on the fence as to whether I want to give this place another chance, if I do, I will post another review, and hope that that experience lives up to the hype and reputation. read more

I have lived in or around the Gage Park area for a great portion of my life and there is no better Pizza to be found there than Pizza Castle. I moved away about 10 years ago and have never found a pizza that comes close to Pizza Castle. Ilive in Streator now and whenever I have to go to Chicago My husband and I will wait in town until they open so we can get 2 pizza's , one to eat on the way home, the other to eat later. They are just the best! The only thing that could possibly make them better is shipping them via UPS to me. I would gladly pay any shipping charge. read more

Now, don't get carried away--I'm not saying it's exactly like Palermo's. It's more like if Vito & Nick's and Palermo's had a baby.

Despite living in town for a few years, I didn't try Pizza Pete until recently. I think a review I…read moreread here or elsewhere was talking about how the sauce was sweet and they liked it as a result... I hate overly sweet pizza sauce. Anyway, our regular rotation is Fox's and Barracos on Harlem. Fox's is the favorite pizza, Barracos is second and I usually go with them lately because online ordering for Fox's is wonky and I hate calling busy takeout places and trying to shout down the line what I want. Pete has an easy online ordering system with toasttab. I got sausage, pepperoni and mushroom, thin of course. If you can't make that right there's no reason to go back Positives - The pie arrived so hot it seemed to have come right from the oven. - Good amount of toppings, not cheap with them but not excessive either. - Cheese is good quality! So many places use cheap weird cheese, not Pete's. - The sauce was not overly sweet or too heavy on fennel. - Delivery was pretty quick. - The price was good, a bit less than Barracos. The crust was good, though more chewy than Fox's. My partner didn't love that although I thought it was fine. It helped keep the sauce from soaking through and making a mess during delivery. I think Pete will be in the rotation now!
