I don't live in the Chicago-land area anymore and crave this kind of thin crust pizza with Italian sausage and Sal's killed it! Also tried some spaghetti & meatballs and a cheesy meatball sub, meatballs were flavorful & moist, definitely recommend! This place is my dad's go-to and I'll definitely be getting it again next time I'm in town.

We were out in the area and I wanted to stop by since Portnoy gave them a good score. We were about 25 minutes out and the food was basically ready when we got there to pick up.

Hands down, our favorite pizza spot. Giorgio's is our go-to, and the location couldn't be…read morebetter--literally right across from the train station, which makes it perfect if you're coming in for a fun train ride or meeting friends downtown. Being right in downtown Crystal Lake just adds to the character and charm. Their deep dish pizza is outstanding. I'd argue it's one of the best deep dishes I've ever had. Just a heads up...give yourself some time. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour for a deep dish, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The staff is always friendly, and the whole experience just feels like a classic local favorite done right. If you're in Crystal Lake and craving pizza, this is the spot.

My first time eating at Georgio's Chicago Pizzeria, and it has such a friendly, family vibe…read more It takes about 20-30 minutes for them to make a deep-dish pizza but it is totally worth the wait. We ordered some calamari and chicken wings to start, and both were delicious! Then we ordered two deep-dish pizzas: Mama Primavera, which came with spinach, mushrooms, tomato, green peppers, garlic, and onion. Also got the Papa one which comes with sausage, mushroom, onion, green peppers, pepperoni, and bacon. So between the two mama is like a vegetarian style and Papa's has meat. The sizes are huge and we probably should have ordered a smaller size. Next time! Overall it was tasty and I would come back!

I sat at the bar and met the owner. I got a beef roll. Haven't seen one of these since working in Ottawa. A beef roll in roast beef in a pastry. I love them. Got mine with mozzarella and hot giandanara. I also got a scampi noodle dish that was excellent. It's a beautiful restaurant that has opened up in my neighborhood. Clean restrooms. Pepsi. No Coke. Great bar. Service was quick. Food was hot and delicious. Nice family run business that I recommend everyone to visit. Great pizza too. Hidden gem.

Wanted to try this place. We're big foodies so it was nice to discover something new. It seemed…read moreodd that there was only 1 older couple in the restaurant and just us until we got our bill to leave, another couple walked in. Thought that was strange at 5-6 on a Sunday; core dinner hours. I had the chicken parmesan. I added on meat sauce for another $4 making it $25.99 total. Doesn't come with any sides other than garlic bread. 2 people in our party had the rigatoni, $13.99 each and then another $4 for meat sauce making one of the dishes $17.99. Again, only comes with garlic bread. My husband ordered the pan pizza with mushrooms and sausage. The older couple that was in the restaurant when we arrived was hyping up the pizza saying it was wonderful and had a thick crust and the pan came with so much cheese. When the pan pizza came out, it was thin, maybe more like double dough? But not a pan or at least what we in Chicago are used to calling a pan pizza. After talking to the manager, it was explained to us that because they cook this pizza in a pan, That's why they call it pan, not that the crust is any thicker. For $23.49 for a medium 12", he quickly rejected it, and sent it back to the kitchen. We will most likely never be back because the prices seemed a little high for some pasta and pizza and never mind the fact that we were the only people in the restaurant and we were never offered refills on our drinks & the Parmesan cheese was never sent to the table, I had to ask for that. As friendly as our server was, the service is definitely lacking for having been the only patrons in the restaurant for just about an hour.

Let alone in Illinois. I come here at least 2x a week and I'm always left more than satisfied. It's no wonder they've been voted the best in the area for almost a decade now. Dave Portnoy should venture out and leave a review. I think he'd approve.
