If you like a pizza that is drowning in cheese with flavorless sauce and bland crust, then this is the place for you. If, however, you prefer good pizza, you should probably go elsewhere. There is a reason why this place is usually swarming with children - kids have no taste. read more

This place has fanatic pizza! One of the best I've had in this area! The atmosphere is great too. My only gripe is that the service is lacking. Once our order and delivered to our table our waitress never once checked on us again, and we had to inquire about our check to pay for our meal. However the quality of the pizza superseded the service issues. read more

Food was average nothing extraordinary. I ordered the spicy bbq transitional wings... big mistake. I'd take dominos over this pizza any day. The staff seems lazy too or as if they do not want to be there which I understand, I've worked food service before and it sucks. I tried it and I do not like it. read more

I am from Aurora recently my old pizza place I grew up on closed last year just tried Danny's and gave me my childhood back. Such great amazing pizza and great family!! Will recommend to all family and friends!!! Had absolutely no issues or problems with my order. Definitely worth my hour drive from aurora to Danny's. read more

***WARNING: BEWARE OF THIS PLACE*** We walked in and right away there was an odd smell. I would later find out it was the bathrooms. They look like they hadn't been cleaned for days. We waited an hour and had to ask where our food was. We were told it was coming in five minutes. We waited 5 minutes and then left. The cook was busy getting hammered, his words not mine. Instead of getting our orders out he was getting drunk. A man who could have been the manager or owner was to busy giving away drinks to 3 young women and they got their food before us. They came 45 minutes after us. Tables were dirty and some had not been cleared off. The only bright spot was our server. He was fabulous. Very personable and an all around nice guy. He is definitely to good for that place. I will never go to this place again. read more

Holy crap this place is over priced. 42 bucks for a 18 inch pizza and a side of poppers for delivery. Yikes!

Came in for 1/2 price pizza Monday. Service was slow, but it was the servers second day (who puts a poor girl on her second day for a crazy night like that?!) but I digress... We waited 10 minutes before we saw our newly minted server for the first time who then got our drinks and took our pizza order (we were sure to get it in fast since she had been MIA). Forever later our pizza showed up and even though we had asked for fresh spinach it showed up with what was clearly Popeye style canned. However, lots of cheese and a crispy crust. Since its 1/2 price the $$ can't be beat... Two of us ate and drank for under $15, but we had to wait forever and had "meh" service. Give and take I guess. read more

First the food and then the service. Pizza: really amazing. The clove garlic is so delicious, I order it as often as I can as a topping. The cheeseburger pizza is so so. So many pickles can be overwhelming and the american cheese under the mozzarella cheese can be off putting. It's not so good second day, it's so salty. BBQ baby back ribs: decent. The sauce is almost too sweet. It doesn't taste like any kind of BBQ sauce I've ever had, I can't identify the flavors. Hot wings: holy crap that's hot!!!! So flavorful and will sear your lips off! Lasagna: my favorite so far. Perfectly cooked pasta, delicious meat sauce and the cheese is amazing. Tiramisu: MUST HAVE! Creamy! Light! Big helping! Not overwhelmed by any particular ingredient! Perfect blend! I could live on this stuff. The service has been great every time. Very helpful staff when I eat there, get it to go or delivery. I really enjoy this place and I try to take my friends there whenever I can. read more

The quality of Danny's is fantastic, if you really like cheese. They put about the same amount of cheese on a thin crust as many places put on a deep dish. Seriously, the first time I picked up a pizza here I thought they had given me deep dish by mistake. They don't offer a lot of adventurous pre-made combinations by they so have a very wide variety of toppings for you to make there own. If you're eating there, they often have live music and regularly have a modest but respectable selection of craft beers. Honestly, when I read the negative reviews about the service I simply cannot believe them. I've been going here for a little over 3 years and have never had a bad experience. read more

This is the best pizza in Elgin. Super cheesy and great flavor. Also, the waitstaff is attentive and very friendly. read more

If I had one word to describe Danny's pizza, it'd be mediocre. The pizza has too much cheese on it, the sauce is incredibly bland, and the pizza overall tastes bland, and I wouldn't even waste your time on buying a sandwich there. Their bread is the driest bread I have ever tasted. The chicken wings have an odd taste and odor to them, and again, lack any real flavor. There are much better pizza places in the area. read more

Waiting on are food and it's taking along time and I'm getting very hungry we ordered a diner salad and a Italian sausage read more

Danny's On Douglas - American Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

First and foremost - this is some of the best pizza in the area. Second - WHERE ARE ALL OF THE OTHER DANNY'S LOVERS OUT THERE? You can't tell me none of you would agree and give a 5 Star rating... Their Cheese & Sausage Pizzas are incredible. read more

Went to Danny's on Douglas tonight. Not our first time there, but unfortunately our worst experience. First, the hostess offered us the table right next to her station. We hesitated as we really didn't want to sit that close to the door as it's cold out. Another person suggested she seat us elsewhere, but instead she was like "Are you sure you can't just sit here". So we gave in and did. There were other tables open; we could have even waited for one. Next we order our drinks and appetizers. Our waitress, brings our drinks. Shortly after, brings our appetizers, only one was the wrong order. She places it down on our table, says she's going to check with the kitchen, then comes back takes it and says it's for another customer. She never should have left it sitting on our table as the holding spot. Finally get that corrected, then have to ask for napkins, plates and silverware. Really?!? Our pizza comes, she refills one person's drink and we didn't see her again until we were done. The sad part is, there were not many customer's. I understand staff has other cleaning responsibilities at the end of the night, but customer's should come first. It was an unfortunately poor experience. read more

Nice and laid-back atmosphere, good food and drinks, and great live entertainment! Everything that I've ordered on my several visits has been good, I haven't had any issues w/ flat or skunky beers, which is refreshing. Service isn't the best, but not the worst that I've experienced either. Love the fact that there is live entertainment, often for no cover. Also really like the fact that they have a REAL stage instead of cramming performers into a corner somewhere...you can actually see them, yet aren't on top of them. There's also a nice deck out back for the warmer months, and a cool "loft" area behind the stage for kids to play various arcade games. read more

Pizza is surprisingly delicious. Live band adds an entertaining ambiance. Beer a modestly priced. Lots of draft beers to choose from. Clean and energetic. Plenty of parking. Only complaint is the attitudes from the host. Yes that's as in plural. And the waitress could have done a btter job with service. Left pizza on our table and immediately turned away from us. Didn't even smile or say enjoy or the sort of thing that I would expect from a waitress. read more

Danny's On Douglas - Live bands, homely ambiance - American Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

Not much if a menu, if you don't want pizza there's not a lot of other options. I love cheese, but to be honest, the amount of cheese on their pizza is overwhelming, once it cools even a little, you're eating a cold, giant slab of mozzarella.I have only eaten inside a few rimes (usually do takeout), service is "meh", Douglas Streer bar was wAayyyy better. read more

The food was delicious and my server ryne was amazing and funny and attentive, but the live music ruined the whole experience. They were off key and horrible and I wouldn't come back because of it. read more

The food is disgusting. I do not recommend this place at all. Save your stomach and your money.

I'm not sure what to say except for it was horrible. What everyone has been saying about Danny's is true. The food was not good. I wish I took a picture of the boneless wings. We weren't even sure what they were. They look basically took the batter from the bottom of their deep fryer and threw it in a container with no sauce. Yes, they forgot wing sauce and our French Fries. I went back to see what I could do and they made me a new order. They actually delivered it next door to The Haight as we were at an outdoor event. That was nice. After opening my new order, the boneless wings were still weird. Drenched in sauce and nothing to pick them up with. No napkins, the fries had no salt and they were barely cooked, no ketchup. Like there was nothing. I will not be heading back to Danny's anytime soon. read more

Best pizza ever so good. I hate thin crust but this pizza I've gone broke for and searched my car for change .

Great pizza, huge place, lots of room to sit. They have good quality live bands play and some slot machines as well. Best pizza in Elgin and a great New location. read more

Good pizza, the meat lovers is one of our fav's, wish they had a small because when it is just two people, a medium is often overkill. It is a great spot for bands, open and places to stand if you don't want to sit at a table or the bar. Nice out door seating. Sometimes the music is up way to loud for 7pm on a Sunday though... read more

We have ordered from danny literally hundreds of times over the last 20 years. Two times ago the messed up out pizza order and we chalked it up to an anomaly. Last time, they forgot sandwiches on our delivery order. This time we called and were issued a $15 credit. Tonight I tried to call and apply that to our order. The woman on the phone said she couldn't find any note of it, and refused to let us use it. Seriously? Hundreds of orders over the last 20 years and she implies we would lie about a $15 credit? How insulting. After asking to speak to a manager, she stated she was the manager. If this is how Dannys is run these days, Dannys has just lost a lifetime customer. I've owned businesses for 30 years and this was text book on how NOT to handle a long time customer. read more

Love them and love their pizza! Perfect every time and fast delivery! Delicious! We love their black olive, garlic, and mushroom pizza XL highly recommend! read more

Best pizza in the state! No doubt about it! I have been eating Danny's pizza since I was a kid and it is still delicious! Service is friendly. We have been lucky enough to get the same waitress every time we go lately and she is fantastic! Great for large groups. Can get very loud when a band is playing. But perfect for a pizza and beer and listen to the band. read more

You cannot get better service or food! Jerry Sr. Along with his family treat everyone as if they were family and their staff treats all the same! The food is truly AMAZING! I'm not a lover of pizza and I Love their pizza! Prices are very reasonable and if you want a great adult beverage, I highly recommend the "Danny's Delight"! Danny's can also handle large crowds and parties with no problem and are very helpful and generous to all charities! They have been staunch supporters of "A View From Two TV" and for that we are very grateful! In two words - Danny's ROCKS! read more

See all

Awful service..took an hour for mini corn dogs...which they burnt the first time. Put our pizza in a to go box then cut it out and served it to us on a silver tray. Try to cut a piece (cuz you couldn't tell it was even cut) and the pizza slides off the tray...the manager was rude and in my face. Whoop dee do he took off the corn dogs. My suggestion is order their pizza for pick up only! read more

This was a disappointment!!! I had to wait 30 minutes for wings out of a bag over cooked with garlic butter. I have nothing else to say, however the live music was excellent!!! read more

Love not only their pizza, but their chopped salad and chicken tenders too!!! The staff is always friendly

When you walk in it's not very pretty, but the pizza makes up for it. Lots of seating a bit noisy but not overwhelming. The service was great and the pizza was delicious, but the kitchen was very slow. We were there on open mic night, what a great time lots of good acts especially the two 13 yra olds that got up. read more

This is one very good pizza. It ranks up there with Sal's in Huntley as my favorite pizza. The only drawback is the pop that comes with a delivery. They really need to expand the variety. Otherwise highly recommended! read more

Stay away! We sat for 45 minutes without water, which was blamed on there only being one bartender. After one hour and no appetizer, we had enough. People at our table received their pizza before we got onion rings. No manager to be found. We left. read more

Great cHicago style thin crust - my local friend orders it "extra crispy" for a crunchy crust and slightly browned cheesy top. Our waiter was great. Good selection of craft beers on tap. They have good weeknight specials and live music on weekends read more

Best Pizza I order it all the time I'm not joking I would give 10 stars! People who know me know pizza is all I eat.

Good pizza but slow service, they are understaffed for a Saturday night with a band. Was going to get a meatball sandwich until we found out the are only made fresh once a week on Tuesdays so we got a pizza instead. read more

I really like Danny's Pizza. It's really good quality and I realize that it takes a few extra minutes for that quality...... however.... after 1 hour and 30 minutes our server tells us they gave our pizza to another table and we could wait for another pizza but would take an hour. They gave us our small gluten free pizza for free but made us pay for our fried mushrooms. The manger never came over. I will probably go back but fingers crossed it doesn't take forever to get a pizza and they don't give it to someone else. Not sure who is in charge but it seems very unorganized. Very disappointed. read more

As of recently the service has been horrible. Most of the waitresses have a shitty attitude. Today I finally got a waitress with a good attitude but they managed to burn my pizza after waiting for close to an hour. There was no attempt made to make the situation right. I have officially given up on this place. I would recommend Morettis on Tuesdays night on lake street. Always a great deal without the shit attitude. read more

Pizza is great. I would give more stars, but have had some negative service issues and the atmosphere has some problems. Tonight, went as a group and one of the people in the group went into the restaurant ahead of the others. When the rest of us came in, he was standing at a table, so we walked over to the table. A moment later, a staff person came over to say "you know you have to wait to be seated" in a very condescending manner. When I turned and said, he was already seated, she responded, "OK, OK no need to get upset." On top of this we are having to yell at one another, because the volume on the TV's was so loud. They need to get some sound tiles suspended from the ceiling to absorb some of the noise. I am writing this, because I am really tired of being chastised and treated like a child when I am frequenting a place to pay them to give me service. What has happened to the customer is always right? In this economy, you would think that mantra would mean even more. Other issues were calling for delivery; I've attempted to call for delivery on 2 different occasions. The first time, I was hung up on and the second time they put me on hold for almost 10 minutes. Both times, I ended up calling Geno Nottolini's which also has great pizza. read more

Nothing Special. There are Way Better places in the Elgin area where they can serve you 10 times better pizza.
