16" Cheese Pizza

Our go to pizzeria failed us recently so we decided to try Carson's. "Hole in the wall" is best way to put it. A couple seats inside but got takeout anyway. I hope I get the same quality pizza each time because this was great. Not super saucey which helps pizza hold itself and got a great crisp. Will order next time fore-sure. Reminds me of what Chicagoland pizza used to be!

Pizza still 5 stars. Very similar to South suburbs pizza. I had the Breaded-steak sandwich. Its awesome! with mozzarella and some giardinera. Easily surpasses Ricobenes. This is the place!

The Italian sausage sandwich was fresh and absolutely delicious. I've heard the pizza is the best! Mike, the owner is friendly. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

Crispy thin crust

Here we go again! We have a ton of pizza joints in a 10 minute radius. Many are good but this tastes great. Even the wife who is a cheese pizza freek stated that not only was the crust awesome and crispy but the sausage tastes great. When I told here the price she said "our new go to!" The mom and pop shop added breath mints and mini tootsie rolls on the counter. I consider it a safe driving reward! Instead of trying to eat the dang pizza while driving(distracted driving). I can enjoy the candy until I made it home!

Half sausage, half pepperoni (forgot to ask for well-done, but still quite good).

Very good - and real - tavern style pizza. You order from a window in the tavern, pick it up after a beer or two and then eat at the bar! But serving style aside, the pizza itself was quite good: Thin crust, hot, with good sausage.

Crust 10 out of 10 sausage 10 out of 10 cheese eight out of 10.

Cross to super crispy. The sausage was excellent. The sauce was really good. The cheese was a little oily and seemed like it separated after cooking all in all a pretty good pizza.

Cheese and sausage.  Generous cheese and sausage. Also sauce was very well applied.

Classic tavern style thin crust pizza, rivals anything I've had in Chicago. Had the pizza several times now and it never disappoints.

Pizza was really good, but for a small one - topping pizza for $17.00, way too steep. Won't be paying that for a small pizza again.

Bad things - he just got here so he's trying to get his bearings. He's got a lot of young guys working for him, and you know how young people are today, lots of them are not very dependable and hanging out on their phones too much instead of paying attention to what really matters in life like your job. Having problems with the delivery guys, but I think this is all temporary and will sort itself out soon. This place is in business and is definitely worth stopping at. This is an updated review December 2023. Definitely patronize this new owner as he bothered to open them up again and they're a nice chain out here in the southwest burbs and Rural suburbs south of I 80.

I saw Pizza For U had a Shorewood location and ordered $100 in food, for those who helped me move, online. I was told 90 minutes for delivery. After 1 1/2 hours, I called the Shorewood location to see where my order was. I got no answer. After trying a few more times, I called the Joliet location. The person who answered said I was not the first to call about their Shorewood order and that they must have closed. Seriously Shorewood? I tried to call the following day and STILL no answer! Yes, I called during their "Business hours." This is very disappointing. My card is showing the transaction as pending which makes me more furious. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from this location again.

Got the large Deep Dish Chicago Classic and unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. I left a review stating our disappointment. Within a day, I heard from a representative from Malnati's who apologized for not meeting our expectation's, thanked me for my honesty (which I truly appreciated) and wanted to make sure that before we left the area, wanted us to have a better experience with their food. In my first review, I had not mentioned that we had also gotten their Malnati's Salad which we really enjoyed. We got the family-sized salad and it was huge. Romaine lettuce, fresh tomatoes, black olives, tons of mushrooms and salami bits with gorgonzola cheese tossed with their Sweet Vinaigrette and Romano cheese. So good! So tonight, we had our second meal from Malnati's. We once again got that yummy salad we liked so much. We also decided to try their Bruschetta and their Three-Cheese Bread to go with our salad. They were both great. The Three-Cheese Bread was nicely cover with the cheeses and came with a red dipping sauce and was an ample portion. The Bruschetta had the toasted garlic rounds and the topping was in a separate bowl so we could make our own pieces fresh so they wouldn't get soggy. So I'm happy to change my review and say that we really enjoyed our dining experience with Malnati's. We also appreciate the effort and care that went into making sure we had a positive experience. Their staff couldn't have been more helpful with their service, all the food was tasty and fresh and it was so nice to have such great customer service, which could be called, "concern for customers". Thank you Malnati's, we'll get another pizza next time.

So I have always ordered deep dish from here and have never been disappointed, but today I wanted…read moreto try something new. Ordered the bbq chicken thin crust . I ordered the small and expected it to be at least 12in. I was very wrong . It should be advertised as a personal size not a small. After cutting it , it was 4 pieces for almost 20$. That's ridiculous. Very disappointed to say the least .

If you get the type of behavior that I received from the owner, where else do you go? That means that the business is subpar and will go downhill because the leader has no type of business etiquette. I ordered over $200 worth of food and he quibbled with me about not providing plates. I'm not understanding how restaurants where you order $200 or more dollars worth of food want you to pay for paper plates. What do they want you to do eat it out of the palms in your hands. The owner was very rude and condescending when he tried to tell me that I did not mention that I needed plates because he said that they charge for them if he had told me they charge for the plates I wouldn't have placed an order just as I did not with Portillo's for the same reason when I tried to explain why I know I asked, and I mentioned Portillo's he responds with "this isn't Portillo's" as someone who is multi-degreed he has the temerity to be condescending, I was well aware of where I was calling because Portillo's had more etiquette and professionalism complimentary 87351 The first thing I told him when I placed the order was that I was ordering it for my students I placed the order on Saturday. Why did they show up Sunday trying to deliver the food? What school besides Sunday school and I didn't say it was from the church delivers food on a Sunday to a college? He said I gave him the wrong date. It's all my fault. I'm the one paying and I want them to deliver on the day that we weren't gonna be there. It's all my fault a lack of good customer service. All 19 of my students wanted to leave a review to bring the rating of this place completely down and I asked them not to do so, instead, they will pass the word on what they heard over the phone and how things were handled and not go there anymore I will never order from there again and I really don't see how they stay in business with such rude incompetent, subpar uneducated lowlife responses as the ones I received and trying to find out why we didn't have silverware. I will never order from there again, and I suggest that you don't either. There are a lot of places going out of business for more than one reason this is one that I guarantee is going to have a problem soon you are absolutely, indubitably the worst place in my life where I experienced such deplorable, condescending, low grade, ignorant service in my entire life.
