“This IS the best pizza in the world Italian beef pizza with an umami sauce Did you know they’ve never changed the sauce recipe. My dad and I have been coming here for decades. It’s worth the almost 2 hour drive. Don’t forget a cookie skillet and a fresh cucumber margarita on their patio. Will was our server this time, he was fantastic”
“In town and needed some real Chicago pizza. Pete's comes through every time. Hot and fresh with quality ingredients. Wings crispy and sauced up just right. And ice cold beer on tap. Love this place”
“Got the munchies on a Saturday night and decided to hit up this location and put an order over the phone for delivery. Waited about 45 minutes until the food arrived. Delivery driver was super cool. Food was still nice and hot. Got a 14" cheese pizza pie cut. It was pretty good! Definitely scratched the itch. Cheers!”
“Our server Carlos was very friendly, patient and very attentive to our requests and readily available to accommodate us with a great smile. The buffalo wings with bone were fresh, crunchy and tasty. We ordered Pete's original extra thin sausage pizza OMG!! it was delicious!!! The sauce is perfect, the dough is perfectly crispy with the right amount of cheese, sausage and great tasting sauce. Simply amazing! Its one of the best pizzas we have tasted. We didnt leave any crumbs. lol. All three of us rated it 5 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ! The staff is amazing as well. I was very grateful for the great food and service.🙏 A very special thank you to Carlos, Marcos, Oscar for the great service and for going out your way in making me the cannoli.😋 YUM!❤️”
“One of their websites said that they were open at 10 AM. We got there about 1 PM. And they don't open till 3 PM. So when my sister and I drove through our old neighborhood. The house i grew up in, gone gone gone now a ugly new 3 story building is there. So we got there a little after 3. I haven't had Pete's pizza in quite a few years. It was well worth the wait. They are also remodeling”
“Nice atmosphere, the deep dish pizzas are really big and heavy so it’s better to size down. Got half and half pepperoni and meat. Didn’t have enough toppings.”
“Ordered carryout and picked up in about 25 minutes. Got home shortly after and the pizza didn’t hold up at all. Every slice I picked up, the cheese and toppings slid right off. The cheese even had a golden-brown look but somehow wasn’t fully melted, almost like it wasn’t finished in the oven. The crust was flimsy and doughy with no real bite. Overall, very disappointing and underwhelming. Definitely looking for a new local spot”
“Pizza was cold and all messed up!!!! Manager was nice and replaced but damn edit: 2nd pizza came with a side of attitude from the delivery driver. I’m done with this place after 10 years of ordering! Trash behavior!”
“This is how we talk to people now after leaving the food all the way outside.”
