Great pizza, crispy edge deep pan pizzas, the sausage and beef are premium tasting, along with the cheese and crust/sauce, one of my favorite places to go. Service is always quick and friendly, remodel of the gift shop is really cute and the extra seating is nice. read more

Quatro's Deep Pan Pizza - Deep dish pizza - Pizza Near Me - Carbondale, Illinois

See all

Their deep-pan-pizza is the best pizza I've ever had. Anywhere. Any time. The thick crust is done--cooked--the whole way through, not gummy in the middle like so many others. For most pizza, the edge is just "pizza bones", unfit for human consumption. Quatros slightly crisp, cheesy edge is absolutely delicious. I got their meat-lovers pizza; the sausage is flavorful without overpowering the other ingredients (I absolutely HATE biting into a fennel seed!). Service was rather slow but that was understandable; it was lunchtime and the place was packed. Quatros will be my go-to any time I visit my daughter in Carbondale. read more

Lucky to get a table with my fam on a busy Sunday afternoon. Dining room has that great vintage vibe and smells fantastic. We were just snacking, ordered cheesy garlic bread and a sandwich to split. All were fresh, hot, and delicious. Possibly the best turkey sandwich I've ever had, especially with added giardinera. Had the pizza on a previous visit and it was prettt righteous. Would definitely return! read more

Still the best pizza in the area, and this includes St. Louis. Lots of St. Louis pizzerias could learn from this place. The caramelized cheese crust is delicious and one of the best bites you can have from a pizzeria. The old school pizza parlor vibe when you sit down in the restaurant is a fantastic stroll down memory lane. However, they've updated it with a bar on the right in a space that previously was occupied by another business. This is such a great addition to an already established institution as it provides more seating and a more adult friendly vibe that while still attached to the main, family-friendly restaurant, has it's own thang going on. The servers here are always well-trained and must be well paid as they seem to always enjoy their job. Keep doing it like you've done for years on end, Quatros! read more

Had a date in Carbondale. I asked her to pick the place. She picked Quatros Deep Pizza. Nice conversation with friend. I ordered 9 inch cauliflower pizza crust with pineapple and bacon as toppings. It was delicious. Thank you for good service but kinda slow. I'd come back again. read more

I've been a loyal fan and customer of Quatro's since I first stepped on campus at SIU as a freshman - many years ago. Although the campus and town has changed somewhat dramatically over the years, Quatro's is still serving great pizza, by great employees, at a very reasonable price, and in the very same location as its beginning. I always order their "Challenge" deep pan pizza. It consists of sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, tomato sauce, and all covered with extra cheese. It's excellent! A small (9 inch) is $16.00, a medium (12 inch) is $21.00, and a large (14 inch) is $24.25. These pies are piled high, and unless you're with a large party, you can usually always count on taking leftovers home with you. I've always been greeted by pleasant, happy, and hardworking employees. I've never had to go looking for someone to refill my drink or bring me my bill even though at times it can be pretty hectic with college students, faculty, and locals filling the place to capacity. It's a comfortable setting with mostly booths, and a few tables. It has two eating rooms - an upper area and a lower area (watch that step), and they have just recently opened a new third, even lower level, (watch that step), where one can purchase Quatro's merchandise - t-shirts, etc.., If you're ever in Carbondale and are looking for great deep pan pizza, you definitely need to check this place out. read more

Outstanding! Drove into Carbondale from the St. Louis area. Excellent service and the pizza was outstanding! Loved it. Would recommend to anyone who lives in that area or traveling through. A shout to the owner for making us feel so welcome. read more

Still a great local favorite in Carbondale. Very laid back and casual. This is a place where the locals and SIU students go. The food is great and the service is always excellent!!! It can get a bit loud and if you have a crowd come early!!! They have daily specials. I recommend The Bianca if you are sensitive to tomato products/ sensitivity to acid. If you want a classic pizza get the deep dish Quatro Challenge. The deep dish is always loaded with so many goodies that you will have leftovers. Also, order a soda or tea and you get the Quatros cup to take home. They will give you a lid and straw so you can take and drink when you leave. Your cabinet will be filled with these cups (it's our standard drinking cup at home). And... wait there's more.....they box it up for you after they serve you your slices. This is still one of my favorite spots since I attended SIU in 96'. read more

Excellent pizza for its style. It's not a proper Chicago deep dish/stuffed pizza since the sauce isn't on top, but the dough is delightfully thick with a super clear yeasty-bready flavor, and toppings are all good quality. My only complaint was that my "mini" didn't quite leave me full but hey, I chose to order a small size, I got what I asked for. read more

Any restaurant that is older than me and lasted in Southern Illinois has to get a five star rating. We came to eat here at my dad's request. I am in town to be with my family so we all piled in Quatro's. It was doing good business on a weekday lunch in a town that is not thriving. They still serve in the toxic plastic yellow cups (time to do better for the environment, Steve!!). And they still bring out pitchers. Our server was the kindest human on the planet (thank the lord since our crew were not the easiest to serve). All props to our server. No one at the table like the cheese garlic toast so maybe skip that. We ordered several pan pizzas. For the northerners reading this, pan pizza is not to be confused with Chicago Deep dish. Two totally different things. Quatro's nails the pan crust. The sauce is fine and the cheese is gooey as required. TBH it's more nostalgia than anything but nostalgia works!! They need to put hand rails in the stairs- not sure how that even passes code. The majority of the patrons appeared local (largely white dominant population), and I didn't see many college students in for lunch. This location is not too far from campus and the Strip. Quatro's is a true local tradition. Everyone knows to call 5495326 Quatro's Deep Pan Pizza! read more

This is the go to place for pizza in Carbondale. Warm and friendly. It recently has changed ownership and the pizza is still great.

stopped in for a quick slice for lunch. As always, Quatro's didn't disappoint. Best Pizza in Southern Illinois

I only had takeout so I cannot comment on the ambiance but the pizza was pretty good for middle of nowhere southern IL pizza. It was very thick and flavorful, super filling. I like the idea of "deep pain pizza" - this was an accurate name for it, not quite deep dish but not regular pan either. It wasn't my favorite style of pizza, but it was a solid pie. read more

What a great find! A local hotspot! Its been a local favorite since the 1970's! The place was busy with dine in and carry out. Our waiter was fast and friendly. The pizza was out of this world delicious with the best cheese and amazing sauce! We also shared an order of spaghetti and loved it!!! We shared a spinach salad as it was huge. The food was the best pizza and spaghetti we have ever had in a restaurant! The ambiance is casual and the vibe is relaxing Feels like you step back in time like when they first opened! Even bought a Christmas decoration as a keepsake as we were in town for a pickleball tournament at SIU. Great college town local hotspot. read more

The best deep pan pizza in the area. Everything tastes great. The salad with the house ranch is highly recommended too.

The food here is always tasty! Also inexpensive especially with a lunch special. The service is always nice and kind.

Delicious pizza and friendly employees. My bff's and I came here during BAG reunion on a Sunday before we hit the road back to Chicago. The pizza is so wonderful. Great sauce, fresh toppings. Madison, our waitress she was great. Fast and efficient. Thank you Quatro's. read more

Pizza was okay didn't think the pizza sauce was excellent by any means. I'd rank it a typical college pizza joint

The flavor of the pizza was amazing. Tried both the thin and the deep and the dough seemed a little chewy for my liking.

I want to start this off by just saying the staff here is too notch. Placed a order on the website and apparently had some issues with it getting sent through. The manager handled the situation very professionally. Our pizza came out amazing. Nothing beats that deep pan crispy crust :) read more

Sooo yummy! We ordered a pizza and cheese break for carry-out, but the inside seemed like a good atmosphere for visiting with friends and family. Kind, friendly staff and quick service. read more

What happened to this place?! I gotta say, i was so excited to come back to Quatro's because i was truly impressed the last time i was in Carbondale. But this time.. what a true disappointment! I do appreciate the croutons and cheese for the kids while they waited. Kids were hungry and it was a good distraction for them while our pizza was being made. The server was friendly. Brought waters for all of us, and cups with lids and straws for the kids. We ordered a large sausage and pepperoni deep dish and a family dinner salad which waitress split in two bowls for my friend and I. Honestly seemed small for almost $8! I mean, adding a little bit more lettuce wouldn't break the bank. The Bleu cheese was delicious although I'm not sure why there's an upcharge for a common salad dressing at an Italian restaurant. I could understand charging for extra, but we weren't asking for extra. The biggest disappointment was the pizza. For a place that is known for DEEP DISH, our pizza came out looking really sad. I even asked the waitress if this was the deep dish and she said, "yes. It's been varying. We have a new cook". Ummm... then someone isn't training properly! The dough was like cardboard. There was no flavor. The sauce was extremely acidic. I mean, what happened?! I raved about this place the last time i was here. Now I'm wishing i picked up a frozen pizza from the grocery store! To top it all off, multiple staff members walked by a piece of food on the floor multiple times and another spilled ranch dressing next to our table and never came back to wipe it up. There seemed to be a lot of employees and not many were working. When we went to pay our bill i counted at least 7 tables that were waiting for food. Not one table had an entree on it. Management best check their cameras and Crack down on staff.. coz tonight was atrocious! Very disappointing. read more

One of those small town places that knock it out the park! Price matches the quality, it's absolutely worth it

Always quality pizza. Dependable spot for pizza that I always try to get to when I am in Carbondale.

Great pizza. Fun to visit a local place here in Carbondale. I also liked that they gave you a cup you could keep.

We had a group of 10 tonight. The staff was so accommodating! Our server was incredible. Ordering was efficient. The orders were accurate and distributed with ease. The pizzas were delicious as usual. We were seated in the new dining room. It was attractive and convenient to the new classy restrooms. Great accommodation for mobility issues. Great evening with good friends and good food in a great environment! Great job Quattros! read more

First I love that this restaurant is still operating and serving great pizza and fresh salads. I was a Saluki in the late 80s and spent many evenings here enjoying great deep pan pizza and 99 cent pitchers of beer. It's been updated and is clean and in great shape. Thanks for being open the Monday after Christmas so I could bring my family for a bit of nostalgia and lunch on the drive home to NC. I brought home the trademark yellow plastic Quatro's cup. Great souvenir! Thanks! Our server Veronica was a professional handling the growing lunch crowd with ease. The spinach salad was huge enough to share and the Basil Pesto Chicken pizza was really good. A medium deep dish provides 2 large slices each for the three of us. Plenty for lunch. We could have saved money by purchasing the M-F lunch special, but we want to keep Steve in business for another 44 years. Happy New Year! Make 2023 your year to visit Carbondale and Quatro's! read more

Best pizza around, you must try the deep pan pizza. I've been going for years and service is good and reasonably priced.

I travel a lot for work a week at a time, and typically order a pizza cause it's a least a meal for two days. I gotta say this is one of the best I've had in a while. One of the best. Quatro's challenge (supreme deep) crust was fantastic crunch and toppings were great. Definitely worth a try. I cannot speak to service as mine was to go, but staff was nice and pizza was ready, so no complaints to that. read more

Quatro's Deep Pan Pizza - Quatro's special deep not thin. - Pizza Near Me - Carbondale, Illinois

I've been to enough college campuses in my 52 years to recognize the restaurant staples needed to feed the students.. especially in the Midwest. You need a place to serve up a big-ass burrito. You need a sushi spot. You need a spot to get a sub sandwich.. or a grinder.. And you certainly need at least one pizza joint. Most of these places trade quality for cheap pricing (aka Dominoes), but Quatro's in Carbondale - literally across the street from Southern Illinois University - does not. They serve up a pan-style pizza that's not quite Chicago Style, but definitely not thin crust either. The sauce is a nice mix of tangy and slightly sweet, and the ingredients are fresh and very tasty. They cook the cheese right up to the crust, so there's a nice little rim of burnt mozzarella cheese along the edge of the pie, making the last bite of your slice almost better than the first. If you're from Chicago, and you're familiar with Chicago style pan pizza, then think of Pequod's only not as "deep-dish". My daughter got their lasagna and it was also very good.. it had a slightly sweeter marinara sauce than the pizza sauce, and it was very filling and very good. We ordered a garlic cheese bread as an appetizer, but there was a mix-up in the kitchen and it didn't wind up making to the table until we were almost done with our meal. Our waitress removed it from the bill and apologized. No harm - no foul... shit happens and Quatro's handled it the right way. The inside of the restaurant doesn't look like it's been remodeled since it opened - I'm guessing - in the 1970's, but it was clean and it kind of gave the place a cool, retro vibe. This is one of those must visit spots if you find yourself at SIU for any reason. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant. My brother and I went out to have a nice dinner, since we are both college students and new to the area, we were wanting to try what was heralded as a great restaurant by other college students. I ordered the Vegetarian Delight pizza, which for $16 and some change for a small, I was expecting it to be pretty good. I enjoyed one slice of pizza at the restaurant and saved the rest for later. Now it's later and I was enjoying my third slice when I bit down on something hard. There was a bone fragment on my pizza, a vegetarian pizza. Unfortunately this was the final nail in the coffin, as a vegetarian, I will not be a returning customer. read more

Yes I t get rude after the manager said he heard the order confirmation and the little girl lied and said I was rude to her for asking where my soda was. A bunch of lairs in that store . Been ordering from them for years but the crew in there socks now and didn't appreciate the girl lying on me. read more

First, a warning for my friends from the north. This is not Chicago style deep dish pizza. (Just want to set correct expectations) Fantastic pizza. Toppings are plentiful and delicious. The crust is a perfect balance of doughy with a little crisp along the edges. Great sauce. The interior doesn't look like it's been remodeled in decades but that is not a negative. Gives the place a 70's pizzeria vibe that is a lot of fun. Our waitress, Maddy, was fast and courteous. Plus, if you get a soda, you get a plastic souvenir cup to take home! Can't recommend enough, check it out! read more

For so many years, my wife keeps telling me that Quatro's pizza in Carbondale is the best. When she was at SIU, this is the place to go.

The pizza sauce was good too. read more

As a native of Carbondale, I have to say this is my favorite...for as long as I can remember.
