Arrived around closing time. The place was empty and I almost decided to leave but, upon my reentry I ordered and had the pleasure of meeting the owner. The down-to-earth managers are my favorite. Ordered a pan Chicago style pizza with: Garlic, Onions, Meatballs and Bacon. Other spectators recommend the locals favorite, The Thin Crust. She informed me about the past nominations and achievements the restaurant has endured over the years. It's a humble establishment and if ever in the area I'd recommend it. read more

So.... I had to run an errand up in Wood Dale today, and opted to try a new-to-me place - The Pizza Kitchen in Georgetown Square. I ordered my usual 10" cheese and sausage, and let me just say, it was amazing! Crunchy crust, savory but not too acidic sauce, plenty of perfectly spiced sausage, and a good amount of quality cheese, all cooked just right. Lori's very friendly service and conversation definitely added to the delightful experience. On my simplified scale of A) Would gladly order and pay for again, B) Wouuld eat only if someone else is buying or C) You couldnt pay me enough to ever try again, Pizza Kitchen is definitely an A+. read more

Pizza is good. The one lady wait staff was very friendly and helpful. However, we waited a LONG time for our orders. Really long. I noticed that they brought takeout pizzas to the front many times as we waited for our orders. Conclusion: Order your pizza(s) over the phone ahead of time, and maybe it'll be ready shortly after you arrive. read more

Stopped by the pizza kitchen after visiting the archery shop. Been here before but only for a slice, this time we had a whole pizza.... The Popeye but added sausage week done. The crust was awesome thin, crispy and there was more ricotta cheese on it then I've had on a pizza. They even remembered us from when we were there a few weeks earlier for the slice. Great people. read more

For a change of pace, we ordered a "Chicago Style Pan" pizza from our favorite pizza restaurant, The Pizza Kitchen, LLC. (I'm specifically referring to their Chicago Style Pan (CSP) pizza since they also offer Pan Crust and Stuffed Pan.) Their CSP is the closest to the famous pan pizza you are all familiar with. (If you've seen my past reviews of Pizza Kitchen, LLC I have reviewed their Thin Crust. It's my favorite thin crust pizza in DuPage County.) We ordered a 14" sausage, green pepper and black olives pizza. There are 4 areas I will discuss that I hope will convey why I think this pizza is superior to the famous guy's. First is the crust. The crust was perfectly baked to a golden color (see photo) and unlike many pan pizzas that are rushed through the oven, the crust was baked all the way through. I've often had pan pizzas where you the dough isn't quite baked throughout especially where the horizontal crust meets the vertical wall. I think you know what I mean. The crust was solid and vertical edge gave a nice "karunch" when you bit into it. I don't know how he does this without making the crust hard to chew. The crust has a mild butter flavor but it's not overpowering, nothing like the GE butter crust. Excellent execution of the crust. The sauce is a wonderfully seasoned chunky tomato sauce that's neither too spicy or acidic. Chef Rob blends oregano and other spices so well in this sauce. It complements the cheese so well. (The famous pan pizza sauce in comparison is bland and sometimes acidic.)The I rarely order cheese only pizzas but would consider a cheese only "Chicago Style Pan". The balance between cheese and sauce is perfect. Balance or toppings ratio is important to me and just as their thin crust always has a proper balance of sauce, cheese and toppings this likewise holds true with the CSP. Some places think they are doing you a favor by piling on cheese to the detriment of the other ingredients. Hey, if that floats your boat, more power to you but I like to taste all of the ingredients in each bite. The sausage is good, not heavy on fennel and doesn't overpower other toppings. He uses an appropriate amount of sausage that ensures a piece in every other bite. This allows your taste buds to appreciate the sauce, cheese and other toppings while alternately enjoying the sausage flavor. My first "pizza love" is thin crust by far. We order pan pizza maybe a couple of times a year. I'm sure many of you on this page do likewise. My guess is that you probably order from the famous guy that has lots of restaurants. Having had both I can tell you without pause that Pizza Kitchen, LLC (Wood Dale) Chicago Style Pan is a better pizza read more

I have ordered pizza from here many times. One of the best in the area. Crispy, fresh, flavorful. And not bad price. This place deserves love. This is the way Chicago style thin crust pizza should be. Way better than white cottage and rosatis. read more

I haven't had a lot of Chicago deep dish but I'll try somewhere new every time I go to the Chicago area. This place was suggested by a couple different people so I figured I'd give it a try for this trip and it did not disappoint!! This was the best Chicago style pizza I've had so far and would probably be a regular if I lived near by!! Great service and was cool to see the different Chicago memorabilia around the restaurant. read more

Great thin crust pizza. Perfectly cooked (brown and caramelized cheese on top) and a thin crispy crust. Their dough knots appetizer is huge and tasty. Excellent fresh cut fries. read more

Ordered catering for a birthday party and food was not bad, but not the greatest. I did like that the pizzas were nice and thin with a crispy crust. The Italian beef had great flavor and the au jus was seasoning perfectly. Most places can be salty. Mostaccioli lacked seasoning or even a Parmesan cheese would have been nice on the side but it wasn't provided. The Mac and cheese though...was just noodles with a tinge of yellow. No flavor or creaminess what so ever. A lot of the guests were disappointed by the pastas. The salad looked appetizing but the lettuce was wet. Definitely need to put more effort in serving food that is more appealing. read more

I've been here twice now and I can honestly say the Chicago Style pizza is about the best pie you will eat. I met Lori on my first visit and was very impressed with her hospitality and customer service. Pizza Kitchen is a hidden gem. You won't be disappointed read more

First the pizza was good so I want that to be the first thing I talk about cause that's the most important thing. Secondly, service was okay, we didn't exactly get what we order when it comes to drink, the bartender wasn't working so we just had someone who hasn't made a drink make one, first mistake, we wanted a cup of lemonade as a chaser and two shots of patron each, when we got our drink we got it all in two glasses, instead of separate, we dealt with it and moved on. We order two appetizer, garlic cheese bread and 12 half mild and half hot. The Hot wings were great, the mild wings on the other hand were not good at all, whatever the mild sauce they use was not mild more so bbq and she hates bbq wings. Then we order two pizza one cheese Chicago deep dish which was good and second one was a pepperoni and mushrooms. Both amazing! It was 8 pm and it take some time to make the pizza. We didn't get it until 9:25 and they closed at 9, we were rushed but that was a long time for some pizza. We got our bill and it was a bit over priced having to deal with a lot of mess ups. We just paid the bill and left. read more

We've had their thin crust and just ordered the deep dish - both are amazing!

Thin crust is very good. Atmosphere inside was a bit loud with all the noise coming from one table. Rest of the place was empty. It's a fairly large place inside a strip mall that needs some life. Staff seems like they live there or just rolled out of bed lol. I'd go back for their thin crust. Pizza was great! read more

Amazing pizza ! Highly recommend trying out The Pizza Kitchen. I've tried their pizza multiple times and it always tastes amazing !

Pizza good but they charge extra for over 3 people at table won't go with a family extra charge is not good for a family

As a kid I remembered always asking to get pizza from the local spot in West Chicago which is long gone now. And while I was working a couple jobs ago in Lisle I had a slice. I can't explain how or what happened. But that pizza place we got when I was a kid WAS FUCKING BESTED!!!!! The flash back hit me first. I was a kid again. Then there was more!!!! I wasn't searching in the bites for the next topping, ITS IN EVERY BITE!!!!!! I make the trip and always get 2-4 pizzas now. If you haven't had Tommy's favorite and you're a sausage pizza fan, be ready for a new favorite. read more

Fantastic! The Chicago style pizza here is excellent. I had mine with sausage, mushrooms, and green peppers. The crust has a nice flavor to it. If I'm back in the area I'd go here. Martha took good care of us. The garlic knots were also very tasty. Overall great experience and confirmed that Chicago style is my favorite. Thanks for a great dinner! read more

This is the first time that I've walked into The Pizza Kitchen, LLC. It was on Chicago's Best (if you remember that show) and was in the newspaper as voted for having the best deep dish and thin crust pizza in Illinois. So you already knew I had to try it out! Let me start by saying Lori, the owner, is so nice. Very humble. Took the time to introduce herself to my family and I. Made sure we were doing ok throughout the entire time that we were dining there. FOOD: ORDER THE GARLIC KNOTS!! They are to die for ! The sauce is great , the knots are crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. You won't be disappointed! We ended up ordering a thin crust, half sausage / half pepperoni pizza. The sausages are big and so good! The pepperoni was crispy, just how I like it. The cheese def did not get hard or dry after a few minutes which is good. Because some pizzas do. The crust was thin and crispy ! Also, their Mac & Cheese is amazing ! So creamy ! Nothing like I've had before. Made from scratch by the owner! My daughter is so picky with food and let me tell you, she approved ! Everything is made from scratch ! They don't have microwaves in the back. This place is a MUST TRY if you're in the area and even if you're not ! read more

We had 2 different pizzas the first one waws very good the ingredients very good. Then we had a classic pepperoni and it was also good it was worth the drive from the city definitely going back and recommend this pizza spot read more

My friend and I went to The Pizza Kitchen for the first time, and we LOvED it! We both had fresh, homemade sangria that was delicious! We shared a half pepperoni/half sausage and pepperoni double dough/deep dish pizza. I am usually picky about this sauce - this homemade pizza sauce is the best I have ever had! It was ready in the time quoted (about 45 min for deep dish). Everything tasted great! The owner, (Laurie) and our waitress were so pleasant and cheerful! They checked in with us and ensured we had all we needed. The restaurant itself was clean and had available seating inside or outside. Staff wore masks at all times. Tables were spaced apart for distancing. While there, we were the only patrons inside, so we felt comfortable sitting indoors. It was definitely a five star experience and I know we will be returning in the near future! I highly recommend The Pizza Kitchen, and look forward to returning for pizza, or to try other things on their extensive menu (including kid-friendly mac and cheese, beef sandwiches, and more)! read more

It's definitely a hidden gem. We try different Chicago style pizza places whenever we are in town, which is about a dozen. This one is in our top 2, possibly tied for #1. There isn't anything I didn't enjoy about the pizza. The crust stayed crisp and wasn't too thick, or thin. The sausage had an excellent flavor. And overall the entire pizza came across very fresh and flavorful and they did not skimp on the toppings. Staff was friendly and attentive. Granted it was slow when we dined, but the owner did come out and check on us and was very friendly as well. Would highly reccomend! read more

This place is amazing! Best deep dish I've ever had! We ordered pasta, the Da Nots (sounds like donuts) and a Chicago style deep dish. Couldn't have been more pleased with the food, absolutely delicious. Service was great and genuine and the owner even came around to make sure we were happy with our meal. I feel like I can coach the Bears to a winning season after eating here. I now see why Mike Ditka was so pissed all the time, it's because this place wasn't around when he was playing and coaching. Eat here, you won't regret it! read more

Let me just start off by saying their da vinci crust is the fucking goods. 2 pieces fill me up. Crust/cheese/crust/sauce/cheese? Sign me up! Their thin crust is great as well. They quoted me 45-50 minutes and I showed up 45 minutes after I ordered and my pizza was fresh out of the oven. It travelled so well! People leaving 1 star reviews are morons. I've received nothing but great service and great food! Keep up the good work y'all!!!!!! read more
