What a nightmare. Worst service and we sat at the bar. Salad was warm and brown and I had to remind the server to get it, he forgot. The pizza was good but I am pretty sure that's only because my husband and I are cutting carbs and it was our cheat day- a shoe would have tasted good too. read more

Dannys has always been our favorite pizza in Elgin.We love the taste and they always put A lot of cheese and ingredients on the pizza we love the flavor.Our only thing about Danny's is that the tables are so close to each other it kinda feels like a school cafeteria It gets real loud and it is hard to relax as a couple in there.Also,I've been there were bands are there and it seems kinda unusual were there is a bar and drinking and bands when little kids are running around.I wish that there would be a section or nights or hours just for 21 and older crowd. But,I do love the pizza and it's my favorite in Elgin! read more

I am only rating one star because I have to. Danny's pizza is a JOKE! I had gone to see a friends band play and decided what a great place to relax and enjoy some "quality pizza" boy was I wrong. The staff is rude and nothing short of nomadic. After my friend had ordered drinks for us the server said she could not serve him due to his ID being expired, ok, no problem. However, the waitress still brings us our drinks (without ID-ing anyone else) and after we had began to drink them she takes them away from us. I showed my ID and asked for it back and she said she had to dump it out...I thought that was absurd but again, ok. After we had ordered our pizza the security guard approaches and begins an argument with my friend about the issue regarding our drinks...without wanting to cause further confrontation we attempted to diffuse the situation by letting them know it was water under the bridge..He was not having that. I had cancelled our order for the pizza because I was too upset at what had happened I no longer wanted to eat. The security guard had again approached us and said "You are going to eat and pay for your pizza and then get the F*** out" while slamming the bill on the table. That was it for me. Never in my life have I experienced such disrespect. The owner desperately needs to reevaluate his staff.. Unprofessional and disgusting. I would rather eat dirt than give my money to those clowns. Might I mention that another friend who also had an expired ID was served without any problems...way to be thorough!!! read more

Went there for lunch today. Got the appetizer basket and a medium pizza. The app's were pretty good and the pizza was alright. I like the fact that it's very open in there but the chairs to sit in are really uncomfortable..A little bit of padding and metal backs on them. It made me want to eat quickly and get out. With a place that has so much space, some comfortable booths would fit nicely in there. The service was OK.. there was only 1 guy working the entire dining room so getting our check was pretty slow. I would definitely go back to watch a game and grab a bite, but not exactly a 'date place' to take my wife. read more

This was my first time as Danny's. Where to start? As we arrived we were seated in a small table which was visibly dirty . Our server informed us a large party was finishing up so the place was essentially empty. We ordered a salad and two orders of wings. 45 minutes later I asked our server if our food was coming out soon because our son was hungry. Our server informed us there was one cook and he hadn't started our food yet. This was simply absurd. We were not informed this prior to ordering. The server should have been forthcoming and told us this up front. We canceled our orders and went to the Walnut Speakeasy, which was excellent . I would give this place negative stars if I could. Dirty, poor service, and nothing special. Thoroughly disappointed, it will not get a second chance, ever. Save your time and money. read more

Had some hippie waiter who never came back to our table to refill our drinks. All he did was talk to co workers and not work. Pizza was gross. Will not be back worst service EVER!! read more

The lasagna tastes like spaghetti-o's , what a let down , the famous fried chicken was tasteless and burnt . Only 1 waitress working , long waits and no refills . Definitely not coming back . And oh yea dirty silverware read more

The pizza is great! The crust has a nice crisp to it; and there is always a generous amount of cheese. Best pizza in Elgin.

This is a very family-friendly restaurant. Call if you're looking for cheese this is the place I would say if the cheesiest pizza I have ever had which is a good thing. They have different types of entertainment depending on the day of the week and they also do a lot of things for the city of Elgin. whether it's hosting the Elgin national Little League bingo night or a youth football car wash call this is hands-down a great place to spend your money on food that is delicious. read more

The best pizza in the Elgin area. Better than all of those chain restaurants. On Mondays the pizza is half off, but they put just as much care into it as when it's full price. And they are generous with the cheese! Often the cheese is spilling over the crust. read more

I was not impressed at all. I could have thrown some ragu on some pasta and had a better meal. The prices were outrageous. Open mic night would be way better if you had a huge gong and the people had to get off the stage once someone gonged them. I will most likely not return. read more

Different location same great pizza. OMG best thin crust around I had a coupon from the radio shopping show and we order a sausage thin crust. The crust was perfect Chicago style the sausage is there own. And the sauce had the aroma of wine which i personally love.Also the cheese was not skimpy. I would say it had the perfect 3. CRUST SAUCE CHEESE. Yummy. Serves was kid friendly and they have live music. We had a Apple Moonshine shot yum.. If you have not been here you must go YESTERDAY:) read more

Very affordable for the amount of delicious food you get, been there w/the family a couple times and we will certainly go back in the future. read more

Man I was there today first time and I have to say the pizza I had was great. Thin crust delicious with bacon, onions and mushrooms. Thumbs up. read more

Best pizza in Elgin! Always order their pizza during the football season and have never been let down.

That was just about the worse dining experience I have had in a long time. Do not go to this place. Boxed food tastes better.

Unfortunately I have to say that this was one of my worst dining experiences in a while. I am an overly patient person, who has also worked in the service industry, but the experience at Danny's was horrendous. My family and I were greeted politely, yet curly by the server saying that they were understaffed. We told her that we were completely fine with that and assured her that we would help make her life easier. The first round of drinks came out fast but we did not see her again until the end of the meal, over an hour later. A friend and I went up to the bar to get a drink in order to help make the over-worked waitress' job easier, but the bar staff kindly informed us that they would bring the drinks out to the table. This would be fine but it was another 20 minutes until they came out... warm. When the pizza came out however, it was delicious. Overall, I felt like we were treated as a burden to the staff and not welcomed. The only saving grace for Danny's were the awesome take-out guys who my family and I talked with, and my niece and nephews played with. I would go back here if it was less busy, but my overall first impression was that there was a great deal of confusion and unprofessionalism among an overworked staff. read more

Where do I start? We waited an hour for lasagna and cheese ravioli that was cold and had sauce that was watery and tasted like it was from a can. We had no salt or pepper at our table. We were not offered a salad or bread while we waited for an HOUR! Their mountain dew tasted like watered down well water with a splash of dew. The bathroom was filthy. On the way to the bathroom, I noticed a guy at the bar asleep with a huge mess around him. He continued to sleep the whole time we were there and they never even acknowledged him or cleaned up his mess. One of the waiters was smoking at a table with people he probably knew while still on duty. Very unprofessional. We will not be back. read more

Great food, but not such a smart manager. We have been buying pizza from Danny,s for years. Our grandson has allergy to dairy products, so we always order 1/4 of the pizza with no cheese. Never been a problem, but at our visit last night, the server said they can't do that. I told her that didn't make sense. We just ordered it that way a couple of weeks ago. Check with the manager. She came back and said the manager said they can't do a pizza with 1/4 no cheese???? So I guess from now on, it will be Macianos or Nicks pizza where they can accommodate our need. Such a shame! Good product but poor customer service. read more

First time on a Saturday night. Didn't eat pizza but had homemade lasagna and meatballs, ribs and fries. All very good! Bananas foster for dessert was fabulous! Owner made sure we were taken care of. The best part is the no cover...Belvedere's were a great band! Fun night! read more

The food is a hit or a miss depending on what you get. The pizza - best pizza I've ever tasted. The fried chicken flavor is awesome but the actual bird seemed tough and chewy. The ribs, not good! Go elsewhere for them. Pop and fries are good. Salad, mainly iceberg lettuce. Pizza though, that's the thing to get. Tastes awesome. read more

Danny's pizza is EXCELLENT! The amount of cheese is impressive so if you're a lover of the ooey gooey cheesey pizza you won't be disappointed. I haven't visited the actual restaurant yet but delivery is fast, prompt and accurate. Overall flavor is super with a savory sauce and crust that's just right - not too thin but not thick or heavy. We will definitely visit the restaurant to try other menu items and check out the atmosphere. read more

I have to say, Danny's is typically one of my favorite places to go, but my experience this last Saturday was anything but favorable. I called ahead of time to make a reservation, and they took my name and how many people I was reserving for. When my husband and I arrived after our wedding, they had tables ready, but they didn't have our name. After getting everyone seated (there was 20 of us), we waited over 45 minutes for the waitress to come and take our order. While we were waiting for our food, the power went out. She did not come to our table to explain what was going on, and we were about to call around to find another place, when one of the other staff members explained that our pizzas were still cooking. We decided to wait. It took anther hour and a half for the pizzas to come. During this time, most of the other patrons got up and left. It was starting to get warm in there, and we were told that the soda machine was not working. I had to go up and ask if we could at least get a couple pitchers of water. When the pizzas finally came, our waitress brought them over, and we had to ask for pizza racks. We also had to ask for more silverware, which took some time. When we were finished, I asked to get something to take our leftover pizza in, and she brought several boxes, which we usually get pizza bags. While the food was excellent,the experience was not. read more

Me and my wife have been ordering from Danny's for a long time now. It's always been amazing. Even tonight we ordered a pizza and it was wrong. The staff had no problem sending another pizza out right away. Always friendly. Always fresh. Amazing food. We will be a customer forever. read more

I wanted to thank the staff at Danny's for putting on a great buffet/open bar for the Pat Daufenbach funeral reception. The food was good and hot with great service both at the bar and buffet. She and her family have been regulars at Danny's. I know she was smiling down on all of us with her cupcakes in hand :) read more

My husband could eat pizza 24/7! We love Danny's! We order either veggie, cheese onion and crispy bacon on top or cheese and sausage easy cheese and very crispy!! Always order easy cheese and well done!!! Have never been disappointed unless we fogey to order easy cheese! read more

I wonder how this establishment keeps a customer base. I have been a Danny's customer for many years but as of late their delivery service is as bad as I have ever experienced. For the third time in 6 months our pizza comes to our house is an uneatable condition! The first time they offered me a free, small cheese pizza for my trouble which is a joke when I am paying $35 for a pizza. The second time we kept the pizza, tried to push the toppings back onto the crust and salvage somewhat of a dinner for ourselves. This time I opened the box and 1/3 of the pizza was covered with all of the toppings from all of the pizza. I managed to catch the driver before he left my driveway & showed him the pizza. His response was "sorry, I don't know how that happened". It doesn't take a genius to understand how the toppings of a pizza wind up oozing out the corners of the box. His nonchalant, I could care less attitude made me insist on sending the sorry excuse of a pizza back to the store with him and demanding my money back. I called the store. They seemed to care less than the driver. They told me the charge would appear on my credit card regardless. I directed them to void the sale, giving them every opportunity to make good on an obvious lack of employee consideration. But they did not.So after 20 years I will no longer consider them an option for pizza or recommend them to any of my friends and family. In fact, I will let everyone know what a sorry example of customer service they exhibited. read more

Went for the first time. Place was great, pizza was delicious and our waitress was wonderful. Will definitely be back.

Normally order pizza to go, last few times it did not come out the way I ordered, didn't want to spend the time to go back. A little more attention to detail is needed. read more

Very disappointed! We went to have 1/2 price pizza, begining to order an extra large (18 inch ) and was told we could only order a large because there were only two of us in the party. WHAT? No where does it say restictions apply to the size you are allowed to order based on your party size. They told me the reason is, they don't want people to only eat two pieces and bring the rest home to feed everyone else. Who cares if I'm paying for it and eating it in the restaurant like it states for dine in only. We were planning to order two pizzas and yes some would come home, but that is normal. We enjoy variety and leftovers. Above all, we can't believe that they felt they knew how much we could eat or would eat in one sitting. read more

All I know I had this pizza for the first time on Friday, it was awesome and I am picky. One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten !

Food is ok it just takes too long to get to your table....too much fume from the kitchen it stinks the place. I wish if they had better suction....you smell like pizza/fried food when you leave. read more

My family and I have been ordering from Danny's for years and we were very excited when they decided to move into my neck of the woods. Danny's on Douglas is a great place for food and festivities. Delicious food and friendly fast service keeps me and my family coming back for more. Can't visit? No problem. Delivery is quick and the delivery staff have all been warm and friendly. Hands down, Danny's on Douglas makes and consistently delivers a superb pizza time and time again. Guaranteed hot and delicious! read more

Been here twice so far for stuffed pizza and drinks. The stuffed pizza is good, my girlfriend loves it but she just scarfs down the cheese and barely touches the crust. For my part, I've had better stuffed pizza with tastier crust but Danny's is still great. Good prices too, in my opinion. The first time we went, it was 3 of us and we all got mixed drinks. Long Island, Mai Tai, Lucky Charm (like a Long Island except it was green). Anyway I just gotta say, quite possibly the worst mixed drinks I've ever tasted. Poor ratio of ingredients, probably low quality mixers, just awful. I've had better mixed drinks from bowling alleys where the glassware smells like stale beer. NOW I AM NOT COMPLAINING because they got us MESSED UP. They sure poured on the liqour haha. We actually ordered a Coke so we could dilute it a little bit. Needless to say we were all very happy walking out of there that night. Anyway my girlfriend and I went again for more stuffed pizza and drinks. Once again, I ordered some mixed drinks. Vegas Bomb, and my girlfriend ordered the Lucky Charm solely because it was so heavy. Once again, TASTED AWFUL. Once again, NOT COMPLAINING. She got some other Apple-tini like drink and jesus... that thing tasted like sour apple dishwasher fluid. It even lead me to quip to my girlfriend "Honey, I have a theory that the bartender has never had a drink in their life." I mean thanks for getting us sauced up on the cheap, but one night just go ahead and try the drinks you are mixing and see if thats an enjoyable experience for you. I will say that the vegas bomb we ordered was at least tolerable compared to the other stuff I've had there. So, if you're looking for some great pizza and cheap drinks that get you wasted Danny's is perfect fit. PS, our waitress was super nice both times, not a single complaint about the service. read more

Food is good but service is terribly slow. Been there on a football Sunday and once when there wasn't a game on but on the weekend with not a lot of customers. Not sure why they aren't staffed accordingly or why they are so slow with service. Of they fix that I would increase my stars. They serve Hacker-Pschorr Weisse Beer so that's a major plus. read more

First off, bring your earplugs. This place has ZERO sound ambiance. Just LOTS of noise. A big open barn of a room with TVs tuned to different channels and nothing to mute the noise bouncing everywhere. Don't even THINK of conversing with your guests during the meal. Having said that, the pizza was, well, it was S A L T Y beyond all reason. If you need to get your month's allotment in one meal, this is the place to go. As for the 'cheese' - yes ,there was plenty of it, but IMHO, there was little to no dairy in it - more like wood pulp with some kind of white glue binder. It had ZERO cheese flavor and you could chew it like bubble gum - in fact, you HAD to chew it for minutes in order to get it down. The other toppings were OK, but again, way salty.Then came the beer. A Guinness that was amazingly warm with a vinegar edge and almost flat. I am more than certain that it had gone off. There were quarters all over the floor meant to be placed under the wobbly tables, the pizza stand had to be rescued from the wobbly table several times. If they could just invest in some feet for the tables, less salt, better cheese, and sound cloths on the ceiling.... well, the waitress was overworked but very nice and she got a good tip. Just IMHO, of course. read more

Waitresses are very rude, very incapable of doing their job. Alcohol is very awful, tasted like water. there was also gang activity while we were there, sitting outside. One of the worst restaurants. The pizza was the only thing going for them. read more

Great pizza is always amazing they never skimp on the cheese but slow service and always to cold in the restaurant I give 5 stars to the pizza and 1star to the service and the cold uncomfortable dining room read more

The food at Danny's is gross and the service is the worst I've ever experienced. The waitresses are terrible and don't seem to care about anything. I sat at the bar and watched the bar tenders walk past me for 10 minutes while I tried and tried and tried to get there attention. It was obvious they were ignoring me. I eventually got my drink and was able to order a pizza. The pizza was under cooked and the amount of cheese this place uses is disgusting. I was never able to get a second drink by the time i was done eating. Let's not forget to mention the terrible bands and horrible audio system they have blasted at top volume by 16 year old high school rock stars. Needless to say I will never ever go back to this dump and you shouldn't even try it at all. read more
