We love their pizza and have been here A LOT but over the last year the service has severely declined Tonight was terrible The restaurant was not crowded. We ordered our pizza and waited over an hour until the server stopped to tell us that our ticket was not received and she was rushing our order. The table next to us - with 7 people - arrived after us by about 10 minutes had apps and pizza before our server even noticed that we did not have our pizza. Finally the pizza arrives - no apology from the manager or empathy from the server. Then she has the nerve to bring us our bill with no compensation. Can someone show some type of caring about customers here? I couldn't take it so I said I'm sure you are going to make some type of compensation for the wait time of our pizza. The server looked at us like a deer in headlights. I wanted to ask her if she was the customer how would she feel? She returned and gave us an excuse about their WiFi being down so she could not give us a new bill with $10 off. FYI the slot machines were working fine. I asked if she need to use the hot spot on my phone (I couldn't resist). We brought friends from out of town here and were embarrassed by the bad service. Again the pizza is great which is why return. You are making it very hard to want to give you out money. How disappointing! I welcome a phone call for clarity but I am doubtful that the owner and or manager could care enough to do so. Sad. We've been enjoying your pizza for over 35 years read more

Perfect day at Village Pizza!! Food was out standing!! Ordered a 9" cheese and sausage well done and light cheese and extra sauce!! The service was perfect fast and the ambience is like no other with 40 plus years in business and with a few locations. Still the best tangy sauce I've ever eaten!! Go there if you're in the area and well worth the drive!! read more

Cold snowy night and grabbed a pizza here and went to my hotel as I was just in town for work. Really nice fresh sliced veggies and crust is just a bit crispy. I'd be glad to grab a pizza here again next time I'm in town. Prep time was spot on and the girl running the Togo counter had it down to an art! read more

Visited tonight and really enjoyed our visit. Was sad to find out that they don't have peanuts on the table anymore as that is always a fun treat. We had a mule and a glass of sangria. The sangria was really tasty and friend loved the mule but said it was very feisty! We shared a thin crust pizza and it was delicious. They use cornmeal on the bottom of the crust which is something I really like! Service was friendly and prompt and we fed y feel rushed out at all. I'd go back for that pizza for sure! read more

Very nice pizza to go or to stay and dine in. We like this place, especially the spicy Italian pizza. We will absolutely return.

I honestly went back and forth on giving a 2 or 3 star review for this place, quite honestly it is a 2.5. Service was good so gave them the 3. I walked in and had high expectations from reviews/pictures I had read/saw. Building was nice, plenty of seating and a friendly staff. But unfortunately thats where things went a little south. We got 2 small 9 inch pizzas for myself and the wife. I did my usual half sausage/half pepperoni (a good way to judge a pizza place imo), and my wife did some sacreligious bbq pizza concoction. We also ordered some cheese breadsticks. Pizza was a very thin crust (which normally I enjoy alot), but unfortunately the crust was lacking in flavor. I was also disappointed in the sausage, it didnt seem homemade, and just the standard foodservice grade sausage. Cheesesticks were meh, overall not much reason to come back here as we have had better pizza from a few places in the Elgin area. If I was invited to meet people here I would come back, its just average pizza at best. Or even maybe if i was having some drinks it would make everything a little better, lol... read more

Better than Nick's ;). Currently my favorite thin crust pizza. I just felt sorry for customers who came around noon on Saturday since the single employee was rarely around to seat people, so many customers almost left after standing around for 5 minutes waiting to be seated. read more

Went here to attend an event and had an opportunity to try out many of their different styles of pizza. I overall found the pizza to be fairly standard for what I'd expect to find in a pub - filling, a bit salty, and filled with plenty of toppings. I found the crust to be fairly flavorful, with a good consistency to support the toppings though I would've preferred maybe if it was either a bit more crispy or soft, instead of the in-between texture. I like how the cheese was browned slightly and provided in a relatively thick layer. The sauce was alright in the pizza, I would've preferred a little more inside for a better crust/sauce/cheese ratio for a more balanced bite. The service is friendly and fairly quick here, despite it being fairly busy. The restaurant itself is also impressively spacious and decorated quite nicely. Overall, this is a solid place to enjoy a pizza if you're in the area. read more

Good pizza, good service and generous beers for the money (24 ounce I think). The wife and I have been here a couple of times killing time on the way to visit family way out here. There are dead animals mounted on the walls and animal sculptures. decor certainly is interesting. We most recently had the Mexican (with cauliflower critter) and Margherita pizzas. Both were good. The cauliflower crust is good. Not a huge difference between it and the standard crust. read more

I've eaten a lot of pizza around Elgin. I recommend some others and I can definitely recommend this restaurant and especially their extra thin crust. There's nothing like an extra thing crust and they have one! We've ordered there three weeks in a row. read more

The pizza was fantastic! Living in central Florida now, it is difficult to find good pizza and impossible to find Chicago pizza, this was fantastic though!! read more

Friday night, main event Mike Tyson vs Jay Paul. Crowded early, patrons now scarce after 8:00 pm. Bartender Matt (who has a lovely personality and the regulars love) was unable to keep up. Luke warm pizza and a large bar unkept and underserved. Thank goodness for the lone ling haired brunette female staffer who took our food order and got us beverages quickly. Village pizza is normally a destination drive...not tonight. Sure hope this isn't the norm, or business will suffer. read more

Stopped for dinner last Friday. Nice atmosphere. Took a while to be seated as did not have reservations but was able to hang in the bar and had one of the largest draft beers I have had in my life. Waitress was very nice and food came out fast and hot. Tasty thin pizza but ingredients were not as plentiful as most other places though prices were lower. read more

The double decker is the best pizza I've ever had! Been going here and the original for almost 40 years. It's hands down the best pizza I've ever tasted! read more

Village Pizza & Pub is a great place to go for bar trivia. We went there for their annual Christmas pub trivia game. The restaurant provided pizzas and soft drinks (alcoholic drinks were not on the house) for the trivia participants. I think that this is a great way to show appreciation for the many regular trivia players. The trivia was fun and the pizzas hit the spot. The servers that waited on the area were great. They worked hard to make sure that everyone was well taken care of. The restaurant was wonderfully decorated for the holidays. After the trivia game, there was a white elephant gift exchange that went past the closing time. A fun time was had by all. I will make sure to go back next year and may stop back for trivia if I'm in the area as well. read more

If you love thin-crust pizza -- I mean ultra-thin-crust pizza -- you have to get in here! Village Pizza & Pub has a cozy log-cabin ambiance and the best ultra-thin-crust pizza in the Chicagoland area. Hockey fans, its proximity to the Canlan Leafs Centre makes it a premier spot either before or after the game. Don't miss a chance to enjoy the d-lish pizzas produced by its unmatched vintage ovens. What's more -- in case you're an out-of-area visitor -- take home a partially baked pizza for family members who may not have been able to make the trip. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. Got the buffet for lunch, and all of the food was cold and had been sitting for an hour. Asked the waitress if they could replenish the buffet station with fresh food, and she said no, the buffet is ending soon anyway. Mind you we had been here for an hour and not a single item was replaced on the buffet. The waitress offered to microwave the food.......... Gordon Ramsey would be ashamed. BRB running to the bathroom bc I probably have food poisoning because who knows how long the food was sitting before we got there. read more

Good food. Good service ............................review needs to be 85 characters or more so this is filler

Today was our first time eating here. Because we heard about how good the food was here, we heard it on talk radio WRMN 1410AM in Elgin, Il. We started off with soup and Mac-and-cheese sticks for appetizers and then ordered individual 9 inch pizzas. Really good food and very good service by Jen. The place was exceptionally clean and luckily they are open on Mondays. I did not know that they have a Monday to Friday lunch buffet, I will have to stop by again. Highly recommended.... read more

So much fun! Really cool place to hangout with friends. Bartenders are the best and the food is delicious. Come on Thursdays for trivia night! read more

The ambiance is like an old lodge with lots of taxidermied creatures. Thankfully, those animals aren't terribly close to the tables. The pizza itself is just okay. I've had the Mexican pizza a bunch of times and most recently it just seemed like there was way too much tasteless cheese and not enough flavor. The service is just ok. There is a game room for the kiddos if you don't mind paying an arm and a leg for them to play something. read more

Another update. If I could give zero stars I would. I have given great reviews on this place when warranted. They are just not consistent. One time you will go there and the pizza is excellent. On a recent visit it was awful. Hardly any onions on the pizza which is one of our toppings. The pizza seemed to be sitting a while. The red sauce was of a very thick foamy consistency. The pizza was BLAND BIG TIME!! Come on guys train your cooks...CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS. I can't recommend this place to my friends when you serve terrible food like. MANAGER/OWNER needs to be in the kitchen watching the staff. read more

So disappointed! This used to be my absolute favorite pizza place in the area, but the past two times I've ordered, it tastes different and not in a good way. It's like they have changed the sauce or something. Something is different. Not good at all. Sad that I will have to start ordering elsewhere. Whatever you have changed, please change it back! read more

Always thought the best interior/atmosphere was really cool here. The first time we went, I was not a big fan of the pizza. It was the sauce...too sweet. We recently ordered take out to give it another shot. It was actually really really good! I was pretty surprised so they must have changed their recipe. Either that or they just had a bad night the first time we went. Worth a try if you are in the Carpentersville area. read more

I wanted to give a SHOUT OUT to Leah, at the Elgin Village Pizza and Pub. I called to order pizza and mozarella sticks for a friend who is having a very hard time with a broken foot. I made a mistake and gave Tues. for pick up for their family not Wed. and Leah was kind enough to say, " no problem we can switch the order for you with no question and she was so so very helpful and nice(she could have charged me again!) ! It had been well after the pick up time, so the food was ready too. Great customer service , Leah. We will come in to Village for pizza for sure. read more

We decided to give them another chance with take out, finally the rude girl is gone, they are so much nicer. Then we finally dined in again and great service. VERY attentive service, he kept popping out of nowhere to check on us. LOL Pizza is always SOOOO good. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious pizza, have been going here for years and never disappointed the fish tanks inside are so amazing. Service was great. Wanting to come back soon read more

The restaurant gave the Grubhub driver the wrong pizza. She was already halfway to our house. She had to turn around and get the right one and deliver. I tried cancelling the order but Grubhub said they couldn't because it was still in the delivery window when I called them. The pizza finally arrived. It was so dry from sitting under the heat lamps. I will not order from Village pizza again! read more

I wanted to try a new spot so my husband and I went for lunch and had to wait to be seated since there was no hostess at the entrance...not a big deal except I witnessed an older couple leave as they waited for a good 2 minutes to be acknowledged by someone to seat them. It's a cool place except I did see a good amount of spiderwebs on the decor in multiple places which I don't enjoy seeing at a restaurant I'm about to eat at...left me with a dirty vibe. We also never received silverware. Service was lacking. Our waitress brought us our check and a to-go box even though we didn't ask for it, left us feeling rushed to leave. She also started clearing our table before we were done. Food was mediocre at best. Definitely will not be back, regretted our decision not to go to Moretti's around the corner. Also, the entrance to the restaurant shouldn't be hard to find. Come here if you enjoy high school cafeteria food. read more

Quality of pizza has gone down, no longer crispy as it once was, now doughy/uncooked.

Pizza (extra thin) very good! Pot roast sliders very good! Could be a great place (5 stars) But this place is so understaffed , brutal service. When we walked in no hostess, had to go to the bar to get somebody! read more

The chopped salad was super good and huge. Pizza was great as usual. Highly recommended!!

GREAT service!!! The ambiance was top notch! and the food was the best!'''!!! Wife is going to have to roll me to the car LOL ROFL read more

Pizza use to be good. Now they suck. Also, look out for the nickle and diming with the extra fees. Good thing Morettis is next door.

Some friends and I love to meet here for Friday Night Pizza. We love their thin crust pizza. The atmosphere and staff and always top notch!

Village Pizza is by far the best pizza ever. I have been eating Village Pizza since they opened the carry out location in Carpentersville back in 1978. I remember from the time opened my mom ordered pizza every Saturday night from Village. What a great memory. My favorite is just the simple Thin Crust Cheese and Sausage. The Village Special is really good too if you like the mushrooms, onion, and green pepper added to the sausage. If you like thicker crust, the Double Decker is pretty awesome too. I can't comment on any of the other food items. They do look good passing our table when we dine in, but I go to Village Pizza for the Pizza. There are times we'll get an appetizer, but it's usually fried mushrooms or poppers that are just frozen from a bag that everybody carries. Again in my opinion, Village Pizza is by far the best pizza ever. read more

We had a retirement party there, the room was the perfect size to host us and gave room to move around. Throw in some pizza, beer, cocktails and fun people, how could you go wrong! read more

I've been eating this pizza for 40+ years. Grew up in C'ville where the pizza there is still great, but this location has always been just as good until my last 2 or 3 visits. They changed the sauce. It tastes like a sweet jarred sauce and they are way too heavy handed. What used to be a crispy thin crust is now a soggy mess! fix it or you're about to lose a cult following read more
