Probably the best thin crust pizza I have ever had. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness, crust is delicious, and the sauce/crust ratio is perfect. I've tried some of the specialty pizzas and also just cheese pizzas and all are excellent. The cheese pizzas really allow the sauce to be the star. So good! There are daily specials but regular prices are very reasonable. Although I've only had the pizza so far I'm looking forward to trying some of the other menu items. read more

This is my favorite pizza in the area. It has a nice thin crust and doesn't over do the sauce. It is mostly carry-out although there is a few tables inside and outside. Of course there's great pizza in Chicago but you need to travel a lot further. read more

Their pizza is really good - there's a little sweetness to the sauce. We tried the pineapple and ham, pepperoni, and sausage. All three were good. They don't nickel and dime you for the toppings - if you get them on only half a pizza they don't charge you the full topping amount like some other places I've ordered from. They give you a generous helping of chicken tenders, and the chicken to breading ratio is good. They're tasty too. The fried chicken was overdone but still flavorful according to the person in my party who ate it. The portion size of the appetizers and sides we tried were generous. None of us cared for the coleslaw. Even though it was a little creamy there were still hints of vinegar, making it taste too sour for our liking. The mac and cheese is downright disgusting. Sorry, but it's true. It's a white cheddar cheese with corkscrew noodles and it has a very fake cheese flavor. If it's homemade they need to seriously tweak the recipe, and if not, they might want to change suppliers. The breaded mushrooms, on the other hand, are delicious. They're only $5 and the best breaded mushrooms we've ever tasted! Seriously, this is coming from someone who is very particular about mushrooms and usually doesn't like them. Ordered: 3/22/26 read more

Doreen's has been a beloved neighborhood spot for years, and their pizza is a big reason why. While they offer all the classic toppings, it's their specialty pizzas that truly shine. We usually alternate between the Chicken Bacon Ranch Supreme and the Chicken Alfredo, which gets even better with added bacon. The crust is always warm and flaky, adding to the overall experience. The staff is friendly, and their pizza by the slice is perfect if you're in a hurry. They also serve some surprisingly good salads--an appreciated healthier option in a neighborhood where those can be hard to find. read more

Pretty good pizza. I like their cheese pizza. Good crust. Good delivery. Thank you people of Doreen's.

Since I'm stuck inside for the next few days studying, I figured I would order some pizza. Doreen's ended up showing on my list. At first, I was hesitant because it's a local pizzeria shop in an area where the people there might not know what good pizza is. Also, from the other reviews the service is horrendous and I can't wait two plus hours to get a pizza, especially if the order will be wrong. In the end instead of ordering a whole pizza I ordered two slices, a Maxwell Street polish since that's hard to mess up and a chicken parmigiana sandwich. The order got out on time and it had all of my items so I'm happy. Now that I took a deep dive into the items. Pizza: Appearance - The pizza itself looked brilliant online which is one of the reasons why I wanted to order it. In person it looks about like an average slice. The mozzarella cheese is perfectly melted with good browning, the sauce is spread every so lightly in order to give you that perfect combination of cheese and sauce that we've come to love in Chicago. 5/5 Taste - The sauce on the sausage is a sweet sauce. It's a bit too sweet which might turn some people off. Tuning into the pepperoni slice it was clear that the sauce for the sausage was a mishap because the pepperoni slice tasted much better. I'm happy that I opted for it slices instead of a whole pizza since I didn't get burned. Everything works together well her. The pizza has a very robust flavor that makes you not want to stop. This is some of the best pizza I've had in a while. 5/5 Maxwell Street Polish: Appearance - Not quite as appealing as the photos online that have the works, but still a good looking dog nonetheless. There's plenty of sport peppers & onions on the toasted poppy seed bun. 5/5 Taste - If you make a Maxwell Street Polish that doesn't knock people's socks off...then you have serious problems at your restaurant. Luckily Doreen's doesn't have that problem. A perfectly executed polish that is extremely satisfying to devour. 5/5 Chicken parmigiana: Appearance - It comes on a pretzel bun which is a first-time combo for me. Initially you're going to be disappointed at the little amount of cheese and sauce on the top of the sandwich and then you open the bottom and there's more cheese and sauce so you're good. The chicken portions are also gigantic, but for $11 they better be. 5/5 Taste - The chicken itself seem dry although it is definitely quality white meat chicken. This seems to be mostly due to the fact that the piece is so large that the sauce doesn't cover all of it. The parts with sauce are juicy while the sauceless parts are so dry they can cut your mouth. Everything comes together really well although you do wish there was more cheese. 4/5 Overall, Doreen's seems to be one of those gems where they get everything right. Even the French fries are seasoned to perfection. I look forward to having Doreen's in the rotation of my usual pizzeria's especially since other pizzeria's have gone downhill recently (stares blankly at Reggio's.) Does it beat an Albano's or Paisan's? No, but they give an honest effort that would beat a lot of other self-proclaimed "pizzerias" & they would especially beat restaurants that don't focus primarily on pizza. 4.5 out of 5 stars read more

Quick delivery, good prices, great value. The pizza is cheesy and the sides are freshly made.

I was in northern Indiana and knew I wanted some Chicago pizza, so I found Doreen's on Yelp. I got the pepperoni pizza with breadsticks. They were very good! It's mostly a takeout restaurant but there are a few tables and chairs where you can dine in. The prices were fair and the dining area was clean. read more

Out of town truck driver and so happy the local business had a perfect recommendation. Ordered the stuffed pizza with sausage peppers and onions, my first chicago style stuffed pizza and it didn't disappoint. You can tell the pizza has all fresh ingredients, awesome dough and the cheese is real great quality!!! The meatballs, yum!! When I come back to chicago...this is my spot! I have to try some other things on the menu for sure, they know what they are doing!! read more

Best pizza in Hegewisch in my opinion! This is a business that understands how to do business. Fast service and friendly staff.

First time ever reviewing something, but I'm in town for work and I had to get on here and say that these buffalo wings were fantastic!!! Also, my delivery guy was great! read more

My wife and Me stopped into Doreens and Ordered the stuffed crust Deep Dish and Regular cheese pie to go . My Family rated the pizza and Staff a 10 ,, Your new Friends from Brooklyn Currently residing In Pensacola FL !! Cash out my $100 bill next time ,, Was a pleasure !! read more

Deep what?! This is the definitive Chicago style pizza. Lived on Doreen's every week growing up in Hegewisch for 16 years and glad to see it's still here. Larry's and Mancini's were the other two we'd visit but it doesn't look like they lasted. Doreen's is the bar by which I evaluate and establish all pizza and pizza places. Thin crust, carmelized cheese, and SQUARE cut. If you're outside of the Chicagoland area the closest I've been able to find to this are Home Run Inn frozen pizzas, cook them to the high side of their time recommendation (or even a few minutes more) and then square cut it and you almost have simulated Doreen's pizza. Thank you Doreens! read more

Wish I could give it a ZERO. What a let down. Looking to keep our business in the neighborhood while getting something different than our norm, instead all we got was regret and let down. A half onion pizza was delivered (with over an hour wait) as half mushroom instead. And the Philly cheese steak sandwich appears to be microwaved meat flopped on soggy bread. Stay far far away. There is definaltey better pizza in town. read more

Doreen's Pizzeria - Really good food. Very good employees. Been there numerous times and food was always good. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food is good, not outstanding. I have not been there in years but they used to also serve Dragobobs, which are yummy.

Not bad. The food is pretty good. The web site is hard to use you are better off calling. The pizza is pretty good.

Good place for a quick bite for low prices if you're in hegewisch, got 2 pizza slices and a drink for $7, good deal for sure, lots of other items looked good too, would def return if im in the area again read more

We ordered a pizza at 5:30pm for a 7:00 delivery. Called at 7:20, was told it was 10 mins away. Called again at 7:50 still not here, was told it was 2 mins away. Called once again at 8:00 pm and cancelled. Ridiculous. Not a good experience. read more

Good pizza but EVERYTHING else there is mediocre and portions are very small. The messed up thing is that they HAVE NO MEALS, ( fries and a pop with any sandwich). It's all a la carte. A freaking cheesy beef sandwich which again.. is very weak and for the price of 8.49 the sliced parts of the bread shouldn't touch each other when holding it. To purchase a small fry is 2.50!!!!!!!!!!!! To add a can of pop is 1.25 making a grand total of 12.25$!!!!!! WOWWWWWWWW!!!!!! I will say at times they have excellent specials on pizza, BUT you must sign up for text specials and what they get you on is the toppings are EXTRA. To sum it up, high priced, small portions, good . read more

I recently moved to Hegewisch and tried Doreen's for the first time last weekend. I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered a sausage and jalapeño pizza and it was honestly one of the best pizzas I have ever had! Delivery took a bit long even though I live so close but it was totally worth it. I cannot wait to order from them again! read more

Terrific pizza! Loved the pizza when I'd get it from the store frozen but it's obviously better baked fresh.

This business "Rocks",especially during the pandemic! Nothing has changed with their service or delivery except it's gotten better. They have a super nice staff and are health conscious in their deliveries We are lucky to be in their area of service! My dogs like them too!! Food is very tasty! read more

Terrible experience. Horrible customer service. I was told order would be ready in 30 minutes, got there in 30 minutes and was told 10 more minutes, waited 30 minutes. Girl at the counter was unfreindly and rude. No "Thank you", no "sorry for the wait". We ordered Cheezy Philly Steak sandwiches with grilled mushrooms and onions and when we got home there was no cheese, no mushrooms, no onions, the bread was burnt and the meat just looked gross. I went back and they refused to issue me a refund, telling me they would make me new food or give me credit for my next order. I had no intention of eating anything from there or ever coming back so I refused. They told me they would have the manager call me the next day. They finally gave me my money back after I wouldn't leave and showed the disgusting sandwich to a few of the customers. read more

Most of the time the pizza is great but the last few times not so much. The time before last my pizza was burnt this time the pizza was good but had no cheese all the way around the outside of the pizza. Maybe I will go back to Capri pizza in Whiting Indiana. read more

So, I'm not sure why this entry is called "Doreen's Gourmet Frozen Pizza," because that can be misleading! This address is for their take-out pizza place in Hegewisch...The frozen pizza is actually made in Cal City. This is the real, fresh, deal here! So, I grew up on the East Side (the southernmost neighborhood that borders the lake, not the"new" East Side which is just an extension of downtown), and there were pizza places aplenty: Bob & Jacks, Giappo's, Pucci's, Waldo Cooney, etc. At age 21, moved to Hegewisch (THE southeastern most neighborhood in Chicago) and was at a loss because I was so used to having Bob & Jack's on pizza night and suspected Hegewisch had nothing that lived up to B&J's. I was wrong. I think Doreen's is the best pizza on the Southeast Side. Yes, even better than the now-closed but much beloved Giappo's (which, yes, was pretty darn good but the service was awful!). So, at first glance, Doreen's appears to be another dime-a-dozen pizza/sandwich/Italian take-out place. I mean, they do serve pizza, sandwiches, pastas, salads, chicken, etc--but it's truly quality stuff! The thin-crust pizza is perfect: not cracker-thin, but not too bready, dusted with a little cornmeal, sauce has a nice tang to it, cheesy, sausage perfectly savory, and a nice little amount of grease on top. Call me crazy, but I like my takeout pizza a lil'greasy. I'm ordering takeout because I want to be bad! I've had their wings at parties and they're pretty tasty...Dig the Italian meatball sandwich...Mmm...So meaty! Lots of great choices for the hungry! I'm reviewing from a takeout standpoint since I lived about 2 blocks away so always picked up my order...They do offer delivery too, though! And, there are a few tables for eat-in if you choose...Although, it is pretty toasty in there from the pizza ovens and all. Not a lot of separation between the dining area and kitchen-quite small! And, yes, this is the same Doreen's you may see the frozen version of in your local grocery store. Except, they make those in Cal City. And I've never tried the frozen stuff--why when I have access to the real deal? Admittedly, I do not live in Hegewisch anymore so I don't get to enjoy Doreen's as often as I used to. But, my parents still live in the neighborhood, so it's a treat when they order pizza when I'm hanging around. read more

Hello, FOOD SNOB here. While driving thru Hegewisch Town today I remembered Jackie L. review on Doreens. They sell Pizza by the slice which was good since I did not have a lot of time. Hegewisch always brings back old High School memories for me, since I went to High School with a lot of people from here. The store front is kind of reminded me of one of those old corner neighborhood Bars that are Quickly becoming extinct. Most of you know what i mean. The Pizza is the Old Fashion type, thin crust with Corn Meal baked into the bottom, YUM. Kind of like the old Johns Pizza from the Cal City Strip but much firmer. This was Pizza before the Big Franchises ruined the Quality of Pizza. The Cheese and the Sauce tasted very fresh, especially the Cheese with the little bit of grease on the top was very tastey. This makes for a good lunch or late night snack. The dining area is nothing fancy, but the outdoor seating in the back is nice. read more

The food is pretty good but their business practices lack tremendously. My team and I ordered almost $100 of food for a team lunch. Immediately after hanging up we called back because we forgot to request they apply our coupon to the order. The manager would not accept the coupon because we already hung up. We canceled the order. The team and I vowed to never order from them again. After a few years, we decided to give them another shot. Today, I ordered a few slices of pizza for pick up. I was told they would be ready in 15 minutes. When I go to pick up the slices they tell me they just put the pizza in the oven and it would be another 15 minutes. I had to cancel because lunch break time was limited. Neither me or anyone in my office ends to patronize Doreen's again. read more

Heard a lot of great things of this place several people have recommended it so went ahead and ordered a pizza. First time I was not content, it was really greasy and the taste was not great at all. I like to try places a second time because there might be a different cook who does it differently but it came the same, I'll definitely never order from this place again and would not recommend it to anyone. read more

I would always buy Doreen's frozen pizzas at the grocery store and always enjoyed them so I was in the neighborhood (Hegewisch IL)and thought I'd give them a try. I was satisfied with the pizza, but the sandwiches were a little blah. Don't get me wrong, they weren't terrible but just not great. First off, they put a lot of their sandwiches on pretzel buns and I'm not a big fan of them. They put their patty melt on marble rye and I just prefer plain, seedless rye. However, the patty melt is one of their better sandwiches. And I certainly love BBQ sauce, but they absolutely drown the Monterey jack chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce! The Monte Carlo chicken sandwich is extremely salty. Not that this has anything to do with the food, but I definitely appreciate the patriotism of this place. A huge American flag at the front counter. They had flyers for supporting local police and fire fighters, so that is really cool. In all fairness, this is probably a 3-1/2 star pizza joint. I would definitely go back. On a side note, they do sell pizza by the slice if you're looking to stop in for a quick lunch. read more

I will have to give them another try on the pizza. I only ordered a slice and it was cold when I got it but it seemed like it would be good if it were hot. The star of my order was the Chicken bacon ranch salad! Omg it was so... good the veggies were fresh and the chicken was to die for it had a bbq flavor that was delicious in the salad. read more

Been in hedghwish foe many years. The slice of pizza sell is super good. By far one of my favorites. I always like to support local business and this is one that deserves it. The staff is great and overall a good place to visit. I go by with my kids to grab a slice every now and then. read more

Great food, with a HUGE variety & very friendly staff members! Definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it.

I will not be ordering from Doreen's again. I made an order on Thursday. It got to my house 40 mins after they said it would. My pizza was cold, my fries were cold and all they could do was give me 3 dollars towards my next order to cover delivery. I asked to speak to a manager and left my name and number. I never got a call back. I will not pay $40 for a meal that I have to warm up. Ridiculous. read more

I've only had their pizza, French Fries, Curly Fries, Jalapeño Poppers and Cheese sticks. It's all pretty delicious! I also receive their text messages o see what coupons/deals they have going on each week. Everyone likes deals! Customer service is great! read more

Indeed, as Doreen's does have the best pizza around in Chicago. Guaranteed satisfaction from every customer every time!!
