Having certified pizza expertise endears me to local Italian restaurants. While I remain loyal to my favorite spots, I'm obliged to branch out should a good deal present itself. I'm pleased to say that Dino's 50/50 (pep/easy garlic) thin crust was supremely delicious. Sauce, cheese, and crust texture came together with perfect oven timing, neither undercooked or burnt. One important note that supersedes this restaurant and applies to everyone I've patronized in the Jeff-park area. 9/10 thin crust pizza orders come tavern style, whether it's advertised or not. The ingredients cover the entire pizza, there is little to no crust. I may be a traditionalist, but I cherish my pizza crust- there should be at least an inch from the edge and it's absurd to require a special instruction note upon ordering. Many locations have insisted that the onus is mine, and to take responsibility for my crust or suffer the cheesy consequences. Some require the specific length, 1-1/2" space, so it's a well noted, crystal clear, directive. With that being said, Dinos has made my list of "favorite pizza with crust caveats" but I'm looking forward to the next order. read more

We stopped at Dino's with my daughter's friends from play group. I hadn't heard of the place before and honestly was confused where I was until I left and got my bearings, but it's right on the edge of Norwood Park a few blocks from Harwood Heights. We came for the pizza, and it wasn't bad. We got a thin crust sausage, and the sausage was great. Thin crust isn't really my jam, though, and cracker crust especially. The crust was a little bland for my tastes in addition to being a cracker thin pizza. The place was really noisy, which was good in that our kids couldn't possibly bother anyone but bad because I could barely hear the woman sitting across from me when she talked, let alone a woman a couple seats down. Having to shout to be heard isn't really pleasant for me. But it was a busy night, being near the holidays, so maybe that's atypical? Then again, the room in which you enter is much smaller and quieter, so it may just be that it would have been loud regardless. Parking is practically nonexistent. There seems to be a small parking lot just west of the building, but it has maybe 10 parking spots. It also was a really tight lot; I drove through and there seemed to be just enough space to do that. On the side street to the east it's permit parking only so we almost had to skip joining the others but got lucky in finding a spot just before calling it quits. read more

Husband has been talking about this place for years; the night before we head back home he decided to bust a mission into the city to get his favorite pizza. He ordered a large Italian beef pizza and added bacon. It is the best thin crust pizza I have ever had! The crust was tender and not cracker-like or dry. The beef was sliced thin and in piles dotted under the cheese. It exceeded my expectations! We were literally the last customers in the place and they didn't rush us out. The restaurant is homey and reminiscent of the pizza joints from the 80s. Overall, I am very happy to have gotten to try a real Chicago pizza made with Lake Michigan water. The difference really is in the water! Pros: - quality - friendly - ambience and decor - street and lot parking - even the tap water is delicious Cons: - none really read more

Dino's Pizza - Someone couldn't wait for me to take a photo for Yelp haha. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Since it was just me, I decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was absolutely amazing! I mentioned I was staying at a hotel for the weekend, so not sure how I was gonna fit the pizza in the tiny hotel fridge and he packed up smaller boxes for whatever we don't eat at the hotel, foil, paper plates, napkins, Parmesan, oregano, red pepper flakes and even plastic ware! After the Bloody Mary, side salad and bread I ordered the pizza to go because I was too full to have any there. Tried it when I got back to the room and wow! Amazing! Will definitely be having more tonight and leftovers tomorrow. If you are looking for good pizza and service give them a try! read more

I had to call in a pick up order since they don't do online orders. Can't be mad at that. Me like old school. I ordered a large sausage pizza. Everyone in my family loved the pizza from here. The crust was cooked perfectly, it had the perfect amount of cheese, the sauce tasted great and the sausage tasted amazing. A very perfect pizza and can't wait to come back. read more

A nice little hole-in-the-wall pizzeria -- very clean and cozy. The food was flavorful and the service was good overall. We did have a small issue with the check, as the server accidentally overcharged us, but it was handled politely. Prices seem fair and reasonable, just be sure to ask for a detailed receipt when you visit. read more

This is my local regular pizza place. We usually order delivery but I went in for pick up last week. WOW! It's jumping inside, not sure if that's how it is regularly or it's the Dave effect. Food is great, traditional Chicago Tavern style pizza. We also love the sides. My family gets toasted ravioli and jalapeño poppers. Service is always great and the ambiance is definitely a local watering hole with good food. read more

We've been going to Dinos for many years. After the chaos on Saturday, we're done. We watched others go in and out before some of our party even ordered. The disorganization was horrible. There was nothing but excuses. The owners knew there was a party and other large groups coming in. What a way to stress the staff. We had individual checks,got told it overwhelmed the kitchen. Well, what if it was all individual couples? They had the nerve to add 20 % gratuity automatically to each bill. Tip is not mandatory its to the customers discretion. I do not recommend this pizza place anymore. read more

I Placed a delivery order today at 4:40pm. Whoever took my order by phone had me confirm my address, she even asked me to spell the street. I got a call from the driver at 6:45pm asking me to confirm my address only to learn whoever took my order had the address completely wrong. The driver finally arrived around 7:20pm with cold food. He took it back and now I'm trying to figure out what to eat. This restaurant is a 12 minute drive from my house during traffic. I try to support local business but this was a huge fail Dino's. I want to love you but you're making it really hard. read more

This place was so good. I absolutely loved it. The old oven and the really cool front door made it really cool too. Definitely worth trying! read more

Dino's Pizza - Sausage, onion pepperoni, and half mushroom It was amazing - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Monday 01 Sept 2025, I was very surprised to find "Dino's Pizza" was open on this Labor Day holiday, but I'm glad it was open since I was dining all by myself and I was very hungry. I ordered the Veal Parmigiana dinner which came with soup and bread plus I also ordered a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza, the food was just spectacular. My server was Zoe, I told her that I was severely hearing impaired and she was very helpful in assisting me with my order. She stopped by my table several times to see if I needed anything, she was very efficient. Great food, great service -An absolutely great dining experience on this holiday. Five stars... read more

We had a family, holiday get together here, a couple of days after Christmas. I had called at least a month or so in advance to make the reservation and I dealt with a lady named Bruna, who is absolutely wonderful and very kind, Very nice. We spoke several times before our party and the day of our party, Everything went so smoothly. We had the salad, pasta and pizza buffet with soda. It was amazing, our waitress Ann could not have been nicer. The food was phenomenal, which we knew that was gonna be the case, because Dino's does have truly the best pizza on the northwest side of Chicago, but they took such good care of us and we had such a great time. I would highly recommend this restaurant, even just for dinner, or pizza, but especially for parties. They go above and beyond to make sure that everything is perfect for you. Thank you Bruna read more

Soo very yummy . The pasta soup and salad were made just right. I was very full . There was not any room for desert . We had a reservation . They sat us in a nice area. There is outside patio dining on temperature allowing days The bread was more than enough we were offered more. My sister received plenty of coffee refills They have a small parking area but you can also find street parking some that you may pay the box . This resturant is well worth it The pizza is great too I have also been going here since 1999 and it's an hour plus drive for me now The meat ball sandwich is worth a try See you again ! read more

Having Dino's pizza prior to going to the Hawks game is a treat! Dino's is old school Chicago pizza where everyone working there is fantastic. We had a large thin crust and wings and it was great! Definitely the place to good and always consistent pizza. Love it!! read more

Went there on a Saturday night with our "Pizza Group" . Made a reservation for 7pm. Turns out it was almost empty on 7 pm on a Saturday! At first I was a little suspicious: how could a place with such a great pizza rep, be so empty? A joint down the street on Higgins was slammed a few weeks ago on a Saturday night, and their pizza (and other things) was absolute crap! Well , our very pleasant witness got us seated, took our orders and our pizzas came back a short time later- as ordered, well-done with sausage Honestly, one of the best pizzas we encountered in our two- year pizza quest! Great sausage, nice fennel flavor, just enough sauce and good crispness. I wound up eating a Lot more than I intended. The bill was quite reasonable too! I'm a bit outside of their delivery are, or I'd be ordering frequently (and Frank's is just a couple blocks away from my house). Dinos checked all the boxes, but I still don't know why pizza-lovers aren't swarming this place. They certainly deserve the business! read more

My love and I tried Dino's Pizza for the first time when we recently attended a small dinner party. Dino's is a neighborhood Italian restaurant and pizza joint that has been around since 1968. We tried three different thin-crust tavern-style pizzas and they were all pretty good. While the combo and the pepperoni were tasty, the taste sensation was the BLT pizza. Yes - bacon, lettuce and tomato (and lots of those big three ingredients) along with cheese and mayo, it was yummy and it certainly works as a pizza. read more

Very good pizza and beef. Brought to my dad's place to watch the Bears. Will be back.

Was really good. Service was slow as far as the pizza coming out the server was great meatballs were yummy. Excellent Calamari. read more

Best pizza in Chicago and that is saying something. It's pizza that tastes like pizza you grew up eating.

Incredible service! Great atmosphere and menu items. I'd definitely come back here to be honest

OK. So so many places claim to have Chicago's best pizza. I've been here 20 years and it took me 20 years to find what I think is Chicago's best. My orders have been carry out only, so I will review a dining experience in the near future, but what I can say is that this pizza is an absolute knockout. Couldn't itemize as to what it is, but there is just something. Both deep dish and pan are amazing. The sauce has incredible flavor, the cheese on the pan is stick and bubbly, and just the right kind of salty. I will update my review to include pictures when we go to dine in. But in the meantime, if you're looking for what is my opinion, the best pizza in Chicago, you should go here! read more

Grt old school pizza place I'm always ordering for delivery they have gotten to know who I am ,making delivery easy Thks for good service

Great neighborhood restaurant for Italian food and for pizza lovers. Best ever taco pizza.

Love Dino pizza! The crust is crispy and perfectly cooked. They don't skimp out on the ingredients either. We ordered the BLT pizza, my first time trying it, and surprisingly it was DELICIOUS! I loved it. It has lettuce bacon and tomato's. Nicely chopped and spread out evenly where you get to taste all the ingredients while on top of a delicious sauce on a crispy crust. Highly recommend. read more

Great pizza, good beef sandwiches and the old school ambiance! This is a great family place

Ordered a small sausage and peperoni pizza for carryout. $20 kind of pricey. Inside is as old school as it gets, flashback to the 80's but very clean and tidy. The pizza was good. They make a very thin crisp buttery crust pizza. The sausage and peperoni toppings were both very tasty and they use a quality cheese not very greasy on top. The sauce was good and seasoned well. The butter base a little much for me but still a good pizza. read more

Told it wud be 1.45 hrs for delivery during bears game which was fine because we ordered beginning of 2nd qtr. this was at 6:25. At 8:25 I called and asked r they on way. Yes she said they are in route. 8;45. Called again. They shud be there soon. 9:15 arrived and we had put in credit card so was ready to pay. Guy showed up dropped food and was like call restaurant to pay. Wtf? Seriously? With door dash Uber Eats... there is a reason people don't want to deal with all this bs. So then I'm getting hammed by telephone calls - while trying to eat food cold and late. Called them back and paid. Then then!! Have someone at my door... now in bed ...ringing my doorbell. I call Dino's back saying hey someone at my door continues to ring my bell and I can see in my camera he's got like a slip or bill and I already called and paid. The manager is like we're closed. R u sure it's us? I'm like yeah. He hung up on me. So I had to get up and answer door. He's like yeah I need $$ for Dino's. Seriously. Completely terrible service. read more

Friendly bar. Great pizza. Thin, thick , and stuffed pizza all good. Especially the stuffed pizza. Pasta, chicken dishes all good. Lasagna is excellent and plentiful. Enough for two. read more

I been going to Dino's for more than 30 years, I've always loved their thin crust pizza until tonight. I ordered a pizza and there was so much pizza sauce that the cheese and other ingredients slid off of the crust. I couldn't put my fingers in the crust at the edge without getting pizza sauce on my fingers. Very disappointing, maybe it's time to try Trios pizza directly across the street. read more

Me gusta mucho. It's one of last NW side pizza joints still going since at least early 80s maybe earlier. Before Phil's there was Dinos and Roselli and now only Dino's Pizza. You might find some places further east like Pete or Joe but that's inner city haha read more
