“Finally found a great thin crust in the area.”
Finally found a great thin crust in the area. Ordered a pepperoni pizza and always ask for it well done. It came out perfect. The crust is really good and doesn't sag. The pepperoni was flavorful without being too spicy/bold overtaking the flavors and the cheese you can tell is fresh. Will be my new go to for thin crust pizza!

“Ordered 14” Penguino’s Za and added black olives.”
Ordered 14” Penguino’s Za and added black olives. Total came out to around $32 with tax. Best thin crust pizza I’ve ever had. Their sausage is chunky and juicy, veggies are fresh and as you can see covers the pizza. Will definitely come back for more!

“Penguino's Pizza really impressed us.”
Penguino's Pizza really impressed us! The service was outstanding—friendly, professional, and attentive. Ridas was incredibly generous and made our experience even better by comping our full package 16” pizza with extra toppings! The pizza was fantastic, the BBQ chicken wings and breadsticks were delicious. This was our first visit, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Penguino's!

“I have had deep dish from all over Illinois but this deep dish has to be top on my list.”
I have had deep dish from all over Illinois but this deep dish has to be top on my list. Great sauce and flavor. Not too thick like others but not thin. Perfect amount in my opinion. Not as pricey as others. Highly recommend!!

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AMAZING!!”
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AMAZING!!! I'm originally from Philadelphia and moved to the Midwest. Come to Chicago for school and I was so relieved when I trusted my gut instincts and my heart led me to do business here at Penguino's. I use to work for one of the busiest Italian pizzarias/restaurants in eastern Philadelphia and we were very focused on quality so proudly say that THIS PIZZA IS Aesthetically pleasing and has the rich bold flavors of fine pizza as well as good balance to thr ingredients in his dough. The cook is Perfecto! The portions are BIG. I will spend my money here any day of the week. The owner was also very very nice and professional. 6 stars if I could.. don't let the small building fool you, this is where to go!

“Best pizza in the area!”
Best pizza in the area!! We’ve tried probably 5-6 spots over the last few months and there’s a couple good spots, but Penguinos is the tops. Delicious breadsticks too. Perfectly crispy crust, good sauce, well seasoned cheese, nothing bland. Tasty pizza through and through!!

“We ordered for the first time and wasn't disappointed.”
We ordered for the first time and wasn't disappointed! We ordered a deep dish, pepperoni, green pepper, and onion. Their crust is perfect, great tasting sauce and good amount of cheese. Definitely will order again. They didn't have fries so they threw in an order of bread sticks which were really good as well!

Best breadsticks and sausage on pizza ever! Plus their salad🥗 is the absolute most fresh ever, you’d think they have a garden in the back and cut it fresh! I day dream about this food for my birthday celebration 🥂till I got it!
