Wonderful service (on the phone and during takeout), surprisingly fast (25 minutes for deep dish on a Friday early evening; it was ready in 20), and AMAZING pizza! We got a size XL and the two of us had dinner, lunch, and a late-night snack! Leftovers reheated well and were delicious each time. We are moving out of the area so hope that there is a CPA this good near our new place! read more

My family and I have been customers since 1988 and CPA is STILL our #1 choice for pizza. We no longer live near CPA but drive distance is irrelevant! We will still come to order our food if it takes an hour!! No one in Chicagoland makes a better stuffed pizza. The same goes for thin crust! The breadsticks are phenomenal and the service we receive is far superior to everywhere else we've tried. I'm not exaggerating when I say that CPA is truly THE BEST you'll experience!! read more

I ordered pickup from them last night, a cheese pizza and an eggplant parm sandwich. When we got home from picking up the order I realized they charged me for an eggplant parm dinner not the sandwich. They gave me the dinner but I'm not able to eat meat so I called them and explained it to them and was told they will remake the sandwich for me and it will be done as soon as possible. We went back to pick up the order and they refused to refund me for the item or to refund me the price difference. It was their fuck up, yet I had to pay for it. By the time I picked up my sandwich I was already full from eating pizza so I saved it for lunch today. When I heated up my eggplant parm sandwich I found chunks o meat in it even tho the menu states it has 'marinara' sauce not meat sauce. Yet I still won't receive a refund. Horrible customer service, scammers & shit food. read more

I don't kno what the Fuck I'm talking about in the last review, the pizzas good and their delivery drivers are good people. If you don't leave em at least 20% min 5 bucks then ur a bitch. read more

I've ordered twice for pizza and have only tried "the works". I love it. I added the lasagna and breaded mushrooms... lasagna was also great coming from a pizza place. The breaded mushrooms aren't tiny size where you taste nothing but the breaded part. I would definitely order the same plus more. read more

Amazing pizza! Thick cheese and great flavor! The delivery can use some work they forgot my soda before but the pizza was great.

CPA is my ULTIMATE favorite pizza ever! We live in Texas and when we come to visit family in Elgin, CPA is ALWAYS our first stop to get our hands on some best tasting pizza. Really a great gem of a place that makes delicious pizza! Wish we had a CPA back home. read more

This place is straight overpriced trash. Save your money go into jewel and get you a frozen homerun inn pizza. The slices were cut the size of crackers. Minimal sauce and toppings. Basic crust. We made better pizzas in jail with crackers and ketchup packets. Bye felisha! read more

Chicago Pizza Authority - I order they hot grinder nd i got this ugly looking thing.tryd calling but if course they didnt answer - Pizza Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

See all

I waited awhile on this bc I really don't like leaving bad reviews. But honestly, the pizza just wasn't very good and to top it off, it's more money than the competition. It was very dry and not a lot of flavor. Also, we decided to eat in the restaurant and the service was very, very slow. We won't be eating here again. read more

Chicago Pizza Authority - And it has a medium sized flat screen to watch the game. Food smells good and the waitress is nice :) - Pizza Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

Decided to try it, my sister called in the order. We ordered a 1/2 Hamburger ( it's was barely edible, burn bun), Mixed Basket was a joke. "12 family pizza for $20?? Are you insane it was crap! The Penne Broccoli Pasta was my biggest disappointment, no flavor and what's the deal with the massive load of shrimp, disgusting! Slow service as well. For how long they took at least make the food taste good! Terrible food! read more

Chicago Pizza Authority - Disgusting! - Pizza Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

The appetizer platter was unappetizing. Just cheap fried food with watered down ranch and tomato sauce. Also, after I ordered eggplant parmigiana, I was told they had run out and had to choose something else. I ordered chicken Alfredo pasta which was ok, or so I thought. When I got home, I ran straight to the toilet and needed peptobismol. I don't know whether the pasta or the appetizer is to blame. Service was also slow for my taste. Water didn't get filled right away even though there was only 1 other customer in the whole restaurant. Waitresses(yes there were 2) seemed to be more interested in what was going on in the kitchen. Skip this place and go to another pizzeria. read more

Chicago Pizza Authority - Pizza Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

I decided to drive around Elgin to find a new place to eat... after about an hour of only seeing bars and typical fast food joints I ran into Chicago Pizza Authority. I almost missed it too. I was driving by and one of those strip mall "menus" I saw the word "Pizza" so I turned in. I drove along the strip and glanced at a store that I thought said "Chicago Sports Authority." Oops. On the way out I looked again and realized it said Pizza. I ended up going for the very inexpensive buffet. The pizza itself was alright, nothing special. It was a bit old too, but, the staff was super friendly and attentive and even asked if I had any pizza requests for the buffet. The best part of the spread was the bread sticks. They're unbelievably light, and puffy. Really cool and tasty. I'd go back here for the awesome service and the breadsticks. read more

Ordered a pizza and never arrived. Called and girl had no idea where my order was. Pathetic and dumb business, nobody ever order from these losers. read more

Best pizza around! Everything homemade! Salads are fresh AND most dressings are made from scratch! Delicious! If you haven't tried this place, you must! So good! read more

We ordered a full slab of ribs tonight for dinner, the were delicious, tender and lean. The flavor of the bbq was awesome. The onion rings were plentiful and good. It was a very good meal. We enjoyed every bite! Have a good meal and try the ribs. read more

I ordered a large family pizza and decided to get it delivered, the first time I did they delivered it to the wrong address. I decided to try again a second time and I never got a notification that the pizza arrive. My pizza was sitting outside on the FLOOR for at least 10 minutes. The pizza was so cold, that the crust was hard to bite into too! Do yourself a favor and don't order delivery from them, this is the second time it has happened. read more

I have always liked CPA's pizza although occasionally you get one tgat is a little under cooked. However, we just used their catering for the first time. It was great. It was delicious Italian beef and sides and it far exceeded my expectations. Seriously consider this place if you need catering. read more

The pizza and the service here is fantastic. On both occasions we had Randy who is extremely friendly and funny. These are amazing buffalo wings with a delicious sauce with a slightly tangy. They are served piping hot at the table. The pizza is really nice and the double dough crust has a crispy outside and chewy inside. So GOOD! This has easily become a favorite for us. Keep up the great work! read more

One of my favorite pizza places in Elgin. Very few places can get a thin crust pizza right but these guys make it perfect every time! They're also extremely fast even on a busy night I've never had to wait longer than 40 minutes for delivery. If you want to try a specialty pizza with a unique flavor try the Hula. It's soooo good. The breadsticks are the only reason this place doesn't have 5 stars... read more

I think this is my favorite pizza and pasta place in the Elgin area. I've only ordered thin crust, so I can't speak for the other types of crusts. I think the pizza has the right amount of each ingredient (not too cheesy, not to much sauce). The outside pieces are perfectly crunchy. For the pasta, I've gotten the spaghetti or mostacciolli with cheese and sausage. If you're not a huge fan of cheese, then order without it because it is a lot! I started doing without the cheese. However, I recently tried out their penne broccoli and I immediately fell in love. They use olive oil and lots of garlic in the pasta, which I thought sounded too plain at first. When I tried it, I immediately fell in love. That's the pasta to order! Add chicken if you need some protein. read more

Don't ever order here if you are starving! They take your money! Make you wait for 1.5 hr. for a delivery that NEVER SHOWED UP! I ordered from Grub hub 1 hour before closing and got emailed delivery time was from 1-1.5 and after waited 1.5 hr!!! food never showed nor received any text that they can not process my order but they charged me anyway. If you don't want to deliver food then don't charge the customer or accept the order! RUDE & TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

I've ordered from here a few times in the past. The pizza is ranges between meh to good, probably depending on who is making it that day. Some have been undercooked. Sandwiches tend to be decent, but sometimes the italian beef has been gristly. Recently the customer service has been atrocious. Today my co--worker and I ordered some sandwiches for pickup and were told it would take 25 minutes. I arrived about 30 minutes later, paid, and was told it would be 15 minutes. When I asked if something went wrong I was told, rudely, that was how long it takes to make. I told the person that I had placed the order in advance. She acted like I was lying to her and went to the back. She returned a minute later and said "ya, its going to be like 15 minutes" with no explanation. Very hard to explain rudeness in typed words but it was evident throughout the entire experience. I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

Good pizza, good wings, good chicken tenders, good lasagna, amaaaazing macaroni and cheese. Hands down our favorite.

We just ordered food tonight at 7p. We've ordered from here before and never had an issue until tonight. The food is good. I am giving them 1 star because it took them almost 2 hours to deliver a chicken parm, chicken Alfredo, 2 sandwiches, fries and 3 desserts. We had to call multiple times to figure out when our order would arrive. The first time we called we were told (after an hour and 10 minutes of waiting) that our order hadn't even left the establishment, when we were told when we placed the order our food would arrive within the hour. We finally received our "order" at 8:45p. Almost 2 hours later. Completely ridiculous! Then we go through our order and they forgot one sandwich and 2 of our desserts. We called and instead of apologizing and offering a discount on the food for being late and forgetting, instead we were asked if we were sure. It then took another 20 minutes to receive our sandwich and our desserts. We then had to ask if we could have a discount for their mistake. Very disappointed with the service we received and lack of attention to the mistakes made on their end. We will no longer be ordering from this company in the future. read more

This used to be my absolute favorite pizza of ALL TIME!....until today. I went there after 4 years, I live an hour away, with my mom. Keep in mind, that I called ahead to see if there had been any owner changes, because that usually means something at its best will get worse. I was assured that no changes had occurred. Got there, picked up my own menu (since the carryout cashier was also the waitress), waited 10 minutes to be greeted. Finally, the waitress/cashier came and took our order. We ordered a thin crust pizza with mushroom, green pepper, and sausage with a side of mozzarella sticks. We got our mozzarella sticks in 15 minutes. Great! But,our pizza didn't come until 45 minutes after we finished the appetizer !? By this time, my mom was ready to walk. Luckily, the pizza came. With the first bite, my heart SANK! Watery, tasteless, no seasoning pizza. My mom reached for the salt, pepper, oregano, parmesan, hot pepper flakes, apologized for my disappointment and told me "at least you can fix it at home". After eating her newly doctored up pizza, she tried to convince me that all the added seasoning "makes it not so bad"! Again, I decided to question the waitress about any new owners, and got the truth: New owner, same family. I wonder if the new family member had to cut costs to cut the price on the (admittedly) previously pricey pizza..... TOO BAD! I don't mind paying for quality. I HATE paying for crap. I won't be back. read more

Best pizzeria around! Not only that but the apps and sammy's are just phenomenal as well! I just moved to the area and I won't be going anywhere else for any of my Italian food needs. Try the grinder sandwich if those are your thing, try the double dough pizza if you want a great pie! You'll never go back to those pizza chains again. read more

Food is good, but ever since Melanie left, the service has suffered. Also,the manager is an idiot. They got my last order wrong.

Slow service. Too many tables for one person to handle. Food took more than 1/2 an hour and the server forgot to put in my entree. When I mentioned it, he just shrugged and said he obviously forgot to put it in. The saving grace was that the special we ordered included two drinks, pizza, soup or salad all for under 20 bucks I guess it was worth dealing with the wait and lack of food. read more

We ordered to go, and it was just okay. Thin crust, breadsticks. This falls into the same category for me as ordering from Pizza Hut or Papa John's. I can get a much better pizza for the same price from other local places, and it tastes like it's made with much fresher ingredients. read more

Pizza is ok.. Service was absolutely awful.. The last time I Ordered pizza, it was a delivery to my work.. Gave them my cell number to call me when they arrived. They never called.. I called them back an hour and a half later and was yelled at by the goon on the other end.. They claim I gave them the wrong number, even though I have had the same cell number for over 13 years.. Maybe you made the mistake not me.. Rude service have not ordered from them since read more

I've been ordering from CPA for years! Everything I've had has been delicious. My favorite is the fetticini alfredo with chicken. I also love the potato skins. read more

I'm sorry but the pizza here is awful. It had zero taste not cooked correctly. How is this place still in business? I wouldn't recommend this place to an enemy read more

They have a pizza buffet for 6.99. I liked the salad bar area. One funny note: They were out of cheese pizza when I sat down. I had to wait 20 minutes. I didn't mind too much because I had salad to eat. They have really good bread sticks with garlic. It's not fine dining if you know what I mean but it's fun for lunch once in a while. read more

Really good food order from here at least once a week. All red sauce pastas are good the cream sauce can be runny. Love the inferno wings. Salads are decent. Baked chicken is great. Meatballs and sausage are good. Fried fish is very good. And all their sandwiches are great. read more
