We've ordered from Chicago Pizza Authority many times, including for several events, and overall we've been really happy. The food is consistently great -- the pizza, wings, and fries have all been solid every time. Delivery has always been within the promised time frame, which we really appreciate. The only ongoing frustration is the ordering process. They seem to have frequent phone issues, which makes placing an order more annoying than it should be. Once the order actually goes through, though, everything else is smooth. Despite that hiccup, the quality of the food keeps us coming back. We've been satisfied with every order. read more

I've probably reviewed Chicago Pizza Authority before, because I love their thick, juicy, flavorful pies so much. But tonight we wanted a lighter side-dish so we ordered thin crust cheese. If I could even put into words how perfectly crispy and delicious this thin pizza was I'd probably get worked up and accidentally let some expletives fly. Just saying. Incredible. read more

2nd time ordering from them, I had a pepperoni pizza and very good! Asked for 'slightly crispier than usual' and they did that for me. read more

I work nearby and get a slice for lunch once or twice a week. There are a lot of options nearby and CPA is definitely the best!

Google maps led me a little astray bit the restaurant is ready enough to find in the center of the strip mall. Parking is really easy. Upon entering, It was a little strange that when I went in to get my order the person at the front did not make any effort to get up and assist me. In any case another person came over relatively quickly to assist. We got a few thin crust cheese pizza slices. I found it to be saltier then I preferred. My kids gave it a 'meh'. read more

We started swimming classes in the same mall and decided to give this place a try. Prices are good and the thin crust is great. Topping were fresh. This may be my new go to place for thin crust. Waiting to try the other offerings. Service was great also and friendly guy working the counter. read more

Excellent Pizza! We ordered pizza tonight during bears game and they were extremely busy and a little backed up with orders. But that is to be expected when Bears play a big game. The pizza was amazing as always! Way to go with keep it all together and not letting the craziness effect the product .. great job! read more

Excellent pizza and friendly service. Takeout location is in White Plains shopping center.

Was looking for a new spot because our old pizza place closed down. This pizza was insanely good! Glad to have a new reasonably priced weekend spot to hit. read more

One of my pizza joints that I love. Excellent food and very nice people. Try tis at east once and I am sure you will order again.

Had the Spinach thin crust and it was great! Looking forward to trying some other types there.

Pizza is pretty ok. The sauce did not have too much character but the sausage was savory and good. I tried the pizza at a swim party held at the Gold Fish swim school next door. Must have been a party package deal being neighbor business in the same strip mall. The pizza was warm, not hot (can't blame the pizza authority for that), but I did see that it was sitting there on the counter for probably a half hour before we started into the pizza. Perhaps the Gold Fish swim could coordinate pizza timing a little better next time. read more

Chicago Pizza Authority - Sausage - Pizza Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

This place has definitely went up for pizzas near by something about the pizza everytime it just hits love it

Had a night of catching up and conversation with friends and one of the group suggested Chicago Pizza Authority for a couple of pizzas and salads. First off...good suggestion! Second...pizza had to be cut like a traditional NYC slice...and lastly, the salad couldn't have avocados or avocado oil, due to allergy issues, which they accommodated happily, as well as the slice preference--NYC traditional triangle. So, the order was in. One 14" pepperoni and a 16"custom veggie with sausage. The salad was the pasta-laden Chopped Salad (the Ditalini pasta was Al Dente perfect!) and Antipasto Salad which honestly had more meat and cheese than veggies! Since this was delivered via "Nor Nash", we expected it to be a bit soggy on the bottom of the modified veggie pizza, but it was not...it was perfect with a crispy undercarriage that supported lots of veggies, sauce, cheese and little blobs of sausage goodness. Excellent crust on both pizzas with the pepperoni being gobbled up by the little kids and a few straggler adults snatching pieces. Salads were both crisp and fresh, with the dressings on the side...perfect for the healthy diners. I do have to say the wait on a Sunday is about an hour and fifteen minutes for an order delivered. but if it's good, we can wait...wait for good pizza on the north shore...and until next time, keep pumping out those pies, NYC sliced or Chicago tavern-style. read more

Seems like things have changed since my five star review, I'm not sure what happened but the first time I tried them their food was so flavorful but now it seems like the pizza is missing something and the wings (sauce tossed ones) could use some more sauce... still alright but just seems like they lost something in their ingredients. read more

I have never been a pizza snob, but after having Chicago PIzza Authority, I don't think that the place that starts with a "D" will cut it for me anymore. This pizza is excellent! The crust, sauce, toppings, all delicious and well applied. The cook on the pizzas were perfect. We are happy we ordered extra so we had leftovers. The delivery was right on time (on a Friday night!), 45 minutes. Cannot wait til our next order! read more

Pizza 5. Delivery -200. Delivery driver consistently refuses to bring orders to my apartment, despite instructions on using the access panel to be buzzed inside. This is not rocket science! read more

The best thin crust option in the area (Lou's is still my favorite deep dish). They do not skimp on toppings at all like every other competitor around here, which is why I recommend you order your pizza well done (option is in drop-down menu during ordering process. Enjoy! read more

Chicago Pizza Authority - Half sausage and half sausage/pepperoni/black olive/green pepper. - Pizza Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

a very good thin crust pizza. excellent sausage and mushroom. Had a 1/2 sausage/mushroom and other half was ground beef and anchovies. Wife loved the anchovies. Had not tried this location (understand they have a few more around chicago_. But it was very good. I'd order again. Excellent crust, right amount of cheese and delicious sausage. I'm sold. and I had a $5 off coupon. read more

Lunch special is fantastic! A slice with a soda for $7 I recommend the sausage. The pepperoni was good but there was a small kick/spice to it. I don't recommend the cheese! The size is huge -- like 12 inches long x 10 inches wide! read more

Unbelievable pizza. Perfect crust. Not too thick, not too thin. Perfect proportion of cheese and sauce. Tasty without the grease. Deliveries are fast too handled by courteous and friendly drivers. ​ read more

Stop listening to any review under 5*. Leaving reviews for delivery? We talking about the pizza. It's bomb, especially for suburbs pizza. Ordered from here about 8x now, delicious every time. This isn't your cheap little caesars or papa John's. This is the best pizza I've had in forever in the Northshore area. If you're leaving anything less than 5*, it's cuz you're complaining about something other than the pizza. read more

Been trying out different pizza places in the area and saw this place just opened (grand opening is tomorrow) and decided to give it a try. Ordered online for pickup. A thin with green peppers, onions & mushrooms. It was cooked perfectly. The crust isn't super thin or thick. Veggies were fresh and plentiful. The sauce was nice. Not too much of anything. It all worked well. Also ordered fries. This place will definitely be in the rotation! read more

Chicago Pizza Authority - Thin Crust Pizza with green peppers, onion & mushrooms - Pizza Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

It's a great, pizza place! I've been going to them since last year. The pizza is fire, one of the best I've had. I also really enjoy the onion rings and bread sticks. It's a really good value for what you get. And the staff are so nice and respectful. You really can't get better service! read more

Why. Why. Why can't they just ring bell and leave on porch? Every place. Every time. Why ask me. read more

I will start off by saying I eat a lot of pizza - when my dad wanted to order from this place close to his house, I hadn't heard of it before but I am always up for trying a new pizza place! We ordered an xtra large thin crust green pepper, onion, sausage and tomato pizza and I was surprised how delicious it was - super tasty, crispy crust, great amount of toppings and cheese and four of us polished the pizza off in no time. My aunt had ordered and picked up the pizza; she had mentioned that the service she received was very friendly and efficient- now I can see why my dad has this place in his pizza rotation list! read more

Got a jumbo slice and a drink for $6.50. That's a pretty good deal these days! The slice was pretty darn good.

Tried CPA for the first time yesterday & was very pleased & impressed. I ordered the pizza a few hours in advance to be ready for 4:45 for the Super Bowl. I arrived on time & the pizza was recently boxed, ready to go & still piping hot. 2 pan pizzas, one the smaller size (10") and one the larger size (16"). The pan pizzas were thicker/deeper than expected - kind of like the depth of pequod's in the city. I'm excited to go back & try their deep dish. The smaller one was better for some reason? I don't know if the crusts are different or what.. the larger one had less sauce on it I think. I'm not holding that against them because it was a crazy busy day for them (Super Bowl sunday) and they had a long line of customers. The employees working were so kind & cheery, even though they were visibly busy. Will definitely be back to try the other pizzas (thin crust + deep dish). Highly recommend! read more

My family is visiting Chicago, and we had said we would try an authentic Chicago deep dish while we're here. I was expecting to not enjoy it considering I normally like a thin crust, but holy cow this pizza is amazing. We also got free breadsticks thanks to a special they were having, and they are the most perfectly fluffy breadsticks. Plus, they gave us a huge amount of them! I had also ordered a thin crust pizza just in case, and it was also fantastic. Whether this pizza is a true, authentic Chicago deep dish is for someone else to decide since it's my first time. But if Chicago Pizza Authority has it wrong, I don't want them to be right. read more

Deep dish pizza was a flop. It's technically not a Chicago deep dish. The breading was so thick we legimately thought it was cheese. Scrapped off the tomato sauce due to the seasoning so annoying when pizza joints think the dried out seasoning is gonna save their pizza and worked my way up the slice and to my dismay it was just breading then the cheese layer just faded out 2 inches away from the crust . So disappointed. And this took 20 extra minutes of bake time? Please do not call those a deep dish pizza especially in this area. read more

Just got a slice to go and of course they opt to give the smaller slice... Overall it was pretty bad. Can't say for a full pizza but judging purely "by the slice" this place is not good. read more

The pizza and wings were amazing!!! I ordered the 6 piece mild wings with a 12' 'the works' pizza. Both were cooked perfectly!! I have been wanting some good wings for awhile and they did not disappoint. The pizza was cheesy and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this place. The customer service was top notch as well! read more

Great pizza. I ordered a deep dish veggie and it was amazing. I've ordered a few deep dish Chicago style pizza from different restaurants but a lot of them add too much sauce in the deep dish pizza. The deep dish from Chicago pizza authority was Perfect. I also ordered a double double cheese pizza for my kids and they gobbles it all up. I will order again. Also, the delivery was quick and professional. read more

Chicago Pizza Authority - 1/2 cheese 1/2 basil & tomato - Pizza Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Great thin crust pizza, quick service, and great prices. They have good coupons too if you sign up with them.

Wish I could say I loved this takeout/delivery pizza restaurant. My husband, a true pizza snob, and my son had a much higher opinion of it than I did (but they don't Yelp). My salad was rather uninspiring, but they do have creamy garlic dressing which is a plus. My husband's well done cheese only (boring!) pizza was to his liking. My son and I shared a pick 4 toppings vegetarian which other than being messy (lots of cheese and sauce) was not bad. The prices are fairly reasonable. There is a large parking lot. We'll definitely try it again...hoping I can give it 4 stars next time. Welcome to the neighborhood, new owners, wishing you much success. read more

First time trying this place, but so far so good ordered a thin crust and a pan both are very good

Very good pizza! Super nice staff. My family used to go to a CPA when I was a kid. When this one opened I was happy to see it and try it again. We have ordered here a couple times and very good quality pizza. read more

I'm so so upset. This was my new favorite pizza place and we always ordered through grub hub or Uber eats. Today, I ordered directly through the restaurant and boy did that backfire. We called at 5:30 to order a cheese pizza and bread sticks. I was told it would be 50-60 mins. After an hour and a half I called to inquire and was told it's out for delivery and it'll be 10 more mins and they offered a 20% discount. After another half hour I called again where they told me the order was unassigned, put me on hold for 5 mins and then told me the driver said it was delivered... I confirmed it was not. They said they'd get to the bottom of it and offered 50% off.. they called back to say the drivers been out for delivery and will be here in 4 minutes. It's now been over two hours, still no pizza, and all they offered was 50% off. I'm pretty dissatisfied with their customer service. Now I need to find a new favorite pizza place. Update: the pizza was delivered cold!!!!! Bummer read more

Wow!!! First of all, the customer service was on point. After I placed my online order, the restaurant called me to confirm my order, and make sure that they were making it exactly how I wanted. I was really happy about this considering I ordered a pizza with half sauce and half no sauce, and I was worried that they wouldn't get it right (other places have often just ignored it and put sauce on the whole pizza) which my daughter doesn't like) so, I'm really thrilled with the fact that they called to ask. Not to mention, this is some of the yummiest pizza I've ever had! The sauce is delicious, the ingredients are fresh, the dough, for the crust is delicious. We ordered a stuffed crust with jalapeños, Canadian, bacon, and pineapple, and it's absolutely delicious. My kids got a thin crust cheese (half sauce, half no sauce) and everyone is super happy! We will definitely be ordering from here again. read more
