Stopped in again today! The service was wonderful. The food was fantastic. This is a super nice place to go beautiful inside and have great pizza! My wife wanted to go here for Mother's Day! Just saying this is 2 hours from home but worth the drive! read more

Great food , pizza is very good and has a great crust. It's a good quality product when you want something better than little Cesar's. Service was good too. read more

We ordered 3 12" Pizza. Hawaiian, Taco and knuckleHead. The service was great. Our company was good. The pizza's lacked. The Hawaiian: the sauce was watered down and the toppings slid off. To add to the problem the Pizza was not cut all the way through the crust. This made it even more easy for the toppings to slid off. There was no flavor in the sauce and we found it bland. The Taco was the best of all 3 choices but again the pizza was not cut all the way through. Pulling it apart made it messy. Finally the Knucklehead....greasy, very greasy; to the point it dripped grease down the hand. Again the pizza was not cut all the way through. Our bill came to over 100.00 + tip. Like I said the server was pleasant, the Ambiance was good and they play good music. But If you want a really good pizza in Peoria, go to Olivier's in the heights, but be warned the service is not that great.. read more

The staff was super friendly, the service was prompt and the pizza is always delicious! Thanks!

I ordered 10 pizzas to be delivered to a hotel full of hungry 15 year old boys. They proceeded to give this pizzas to a "delivery driver" named Matthew who was driving a crotch rocket motorcycle. The bartender I spoke with said "yeah we were all watching him and trying to figure out how he was going to deliver them, he repositioned them like 3 times." Needless to say this pizzas never arrived. When I called to ask what they could do they said there was nothing I could do it was between me and grub hub and if I wanted pizza I'd have to put in a new order. No one at knuckles could understand the absurdity of giving a driver of a motor cycle 10 pizzas. When I realized nothing was going to be done about it with their stellar "service" I called Pizza Hut who had all 10 pizzas plus 2 wings orders in 40 minutes. After I reordered the manager called me back telling me it was not her stores fault and when I told her what the bartender said about watching and laughing at the driver, I found out I was on speaker phone and he was there and yelled "what do you want us to do about it?" I was by no means nice to them on the phone, but for them to call me back after they told me their was nothing they could do, to tell me again there was nothing they could do set me off. When I go out of town I try hard to patronize the local businesses rather than national chains. Knuckles was the top rated pizza chain in the area. I have no idea if their pizza is any good because mine is likely laying out on a road somewhere, but I can clearly say their staff that was working that night certainly lacks a bit of common sense. read more

The food is on point every time, this is my main pizza place at this point. Most of the other ones have disappointment me. Keep up the great work, and turning out those amazing pies! read more

First of all, Alexis was such a fun and attentive server and provided great recommendations. We were pleasantly surprised that the cauliflower crust pizza and garlic knots were on special. They were both fantastic! My pizza was crispy. The garlic knots were buttery and hot! Loved every bite! read more

The food was good. BUUUT!!! However, we waited over an hour for my dad to get his chicken wings. I don't know what took them so long but it wasn't fun at all. Plus... my dad didn't even get his food. So we got free food. read more

The new tavern style crust is amazing! Light and crispy not tough. The gal taking phone orders on the fourth of July was super helpful and very pleasant. read more

Service is always good. Good pizza. It has a unique crust. The pizza is Quad Cities style. So it reminds me of the pizza places from when I lived there for a bit. There is a Wing special on Wednesdays. Also try the garlic knots. read more

Knuckle's Pizza - Local and delicious. We love coming to Knuckles! - Pizza Near Me - Dunlap, Illinois

Convenient location. Great food great service. The ambience is spot on with the trivia games and music. It's a great place to bring the family too. read more

We have been ordering from Knuckle since they opened when visiting family. The last few times the crust has been soggy & the pizza has been extremely greasy. My last experience has been nothing less than disappointing- my order was wrong & when I called I was told they couldn't get me a refund & did absolutely nothing to try to fix their mistake. read more

haven't had knuckles in a year so we decided to treat ourselves for my birthday and the middle of the pizza was completely soggy and the edges hard as rock and so were the knuckles. very sad read more

Great Pizza, wings, and Garlic Knots. They also have fun nights with Trivia! Great for takeout too!

Food was really good especially the knuckle Knots and and the pretzel the pizza is also delicious. The staff could improve. They were annoyed with our larger group and the waitress was not attentive at all she rolled her eyes when I ordered a drink and surprise it never came anyways. I know times are tough finding good help but darn. We drove 35 minutes to eat here but we won't be back! She didn't have many tables so I'm not sure what the issue was. read more

I finally tried this joint!! It was the first fall day of the year! We sat outside & ordered Oktoberfest beer. We ordered the potato appetizer and the Hawaiian pizza (add red onions). The appetizer was super popular (everyone around us ordered it too) but we didn't really care for it, it was slightly sweet? The pizza was AMAZINGGGGG!!!!! The sever was the bartender, and the only server working (hence the 4 stars and not 5). Sadly we did have to wait awhile for beer refills and I honestly would have continued drinking had he not brought the check prematurely. We will for sure be back! Sooo yummy, even cold. And my 3 yr old twins ate it the following day and LOVED it!!! read more

Definitely our favorite pizza place in Peoria. Always hot and delicious!! We love the knuckle knots too- our kids go crazy over them.

Sausage pizza here is something special must try if you like the fine ground sausage.

Quad Cities style Pizza in Peoria!! Really good food here and really nice owners as well. I will definitely have this again when I'm back in Peoria. read more

Ordered a 12 inch pizza and knuckles bites. Had it delivered to my room at the hotel. I'm staying here for a week. Service from the delivery driver was FANTASTIC! His name was Ryan. Texted me when he was on the way with ETA and when he got here, brought paper plates and napkins. I don't know if they do this all the time but...wow! Talk about thoughtful. Since I'm away, I may not have plates. So awesome! The pizza is pretty good too. Haven't even tried the knuckles yet but I'm sure they are good too. I just wanted to comment on how awesome the service was. Way to take care of your customers! Thank you so much! read more

The knuckes is pure sports bar with great appetizers such as the knuckles knot (a twisted bread knuckle bathed in a garlic butter to die for as well as greT wings . Personally like yhe thin crust pizza especially with pepperoni , Canadian bacon and banana peppers . Even great on rewarming . Well drinks finish a good time read more

Absolutely horrible. Greasy, nasty, pizza and rude and unsafe staff. Ordered online and they got the pizza wrong. Staff not wearing masks. When I called to complain about the order they offered to remake it but driving 20 minutes just to be exposed to covid 19 again was not worth it. After one slice I gave up and ate an orange and some triskets. read more

We were super impressed with our recent dining experience at Knuckles! There were so many options to accommodate everyone from our large group. Our waitress, Cecilia, was so pleasant and offered great suggestions. I loved their gluten free pizza crust and extra options like dairy free/vegan cheese! Cecilia let us know that almost everything on their menu was made from scratch as well! They had no idea the unfortunate circumstances of our family gathering, yet showed so much kindness and hospitality. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Since moving nearby we've gotten take out from Knuckle's a couple times a month. Everything we've tried, we've liked. Kids really love the garlic knots and the pretzel sticks. Pizza has a great sauce and just the right amount of crust, and the fine grind sausage they use is excellent. Not real sure what defines Quad Cities' style, but we really like it. read more

Having never before experienced "Quad-Cities Style" pizza I read up on it from their website and decided to take the plunge. I ordered the Knucklehead which is sausage, green peppers, onions and mushrooms in the smaller of their 2 sizes, a 12". The larger size is 20" and I was wavering between the sizes as I was going to share the pizza and didn't want to be left hungry. When I picked up my 12" pie from their to-go only location out in the old Chef John's across from Lake of the Woods, I was first surprised by the weight of the box and then when I opened it, I was surprised by the amount of toppings! The way the crumble the sausage evenly over the whole pie makes it look very heavily topped. As I normally get thin crust everywhere I go, this thicker hand-tossed crust was hard to get used to. It was a malty, dense and chewy crust that accounted for half the weight of the pie. There was very little sauce or mushrooms but generous sausage and onions. It was a very filling pie and I was happy with the price of $14 with tax for a dinner that satisfied two hungry people! read more

I normally would not search out pizza on a road trip, however, growing up in the Quad Cities, I had to try KNUCKLES! I would have to say it's better than 95% the same and that is as close to perfect as you can get! The crust is soft and chewy, not to be confused with soggy! It's the way it was.....I ordered the plain sausage! The sausage is crumbly, the same as where I grew up. I hate that so few pizza restaurants use that sausage and I ask for it every time! It's amazing and the flavor of the fennel is so yummy! I felt for the price charged I received a wonderful memory of my youth and it's hard to put a price on that! read more

Pizza was pretty good. Had better, but its not bad. Love the knuckle knots with garlic butter. Perfect appetizer. Staff is really nice. Would definitely come back read more

Had Knuckle's Pizza last night; pepperoni pizza and garlic knots(knuckle knots). Both were delicious. While the crust was a little undercooked, the top was almost perfect, nicely browned cheese. The garlic knots were very garlicky (a good thing). They came with a garlic butter sauce that was too buttery and tasty to not clog your arteries. One of the top 5 pizza places in Peoria area, if not top 3. We will return! read more

This is truly my favorite pizza place I've ever been to. I'm from Texas, but my in-laws live in Peoria. They usually have a couple of pies from Knuckles pizza ready for us every time we come to visit. They actually froze one and brought it down to us this past time they came to visit...we had it devoured within an hour. Because of this place, I can confidently tell people that my favorite type of pizza is quad-cities style...Knuckles is a rare jewel in the world of pizza. read more

I usually don't take the time to write restaurant reviews unless I have a strong feeling that the public REALLY needs to know about dining there. Went to Knuckles on a Wed night at 7:00. Our server Aubrey was ridiculously awful in almost all areas. Every time we ordered drinks--initially or refills, it took forever to get them. We could see her standing around talking at the bar which was right next to our table! Our beers sat there for 5-10 min while she talked. A different girl brought our appetizers (we ordered 3 and only were given 2 so she had to go back.) Garlic Butter knots had neither butter or garlic. We had ordered Xtra garlic butter for dipping but got marinara. So the usually yummy butter knots were balls of dough with parmesan cheese on top. Neither this girl or Aubrey ever came back to check on us so we could let them know our dipping sauce was incorrect. We were never given plates, even after our appetizers arrived. We finally had to get up and get our own plates and silverware. So if you do go to Knuckles, do not get Aubrey for your waitress unless you want to see your beer sit at the bar while you have nothing to drink as you eat and you want to get your own plates, napkins and silverware! read more

I was here a couple of years ago and thought I left a review but I don't see it here. Not a fan of this style of pizza but I'll try anyone's pizza, you never know. I didn't find theirs anything special, edible but not delicious. Their garlic knots are really, really good tho. Their cinnamon knot dessert is also edible but soggy and easily forgettable. I haven't been back since. read more

I visit Peoria a few times a year to visit friends and family and a few years ago we started going to Knuckles Pizza whenever I would get in to town. I was born and raised in Chicago and I've lived in New York, so naturally I have very high standards for pizza. I've travelled the country for work and have eaten pizza in over 30 American cities, from California to New England and most everywhere in between, and I can safely say that Knuckles pizza is some of the best pizza I have ever had. Not only is it absolutely delicious, it's a prime example of culinary excellence coming from a restaurant you wouldn't expect in a city that doesn't have anything else like it. Simply put, you can't get Quad City style pizza in the Quad Cities that's any better than this, and you won't find better customer service or friendliness from employees anywhere in Peoria or the surrounding area. The family who owns the restaurant also run it personally and every time I've eaten there, the owners and their staff have made me feel so welcome and taken care of every detail of our order. My recommendation? Ask for the 4 Corners! I'm not sure that it's on the actual menu, but we get it every time we go. They make us their biggest pizza and they put 4 different kinds of pizza in each quadrant. The Grand Slam pizza is my favorite individual pizza and the garlic knots are so simple, but so good and so filling. Honestly, I haven't had a single thing on the menu I didn't absolutely love. They have a unique sausage crumble that is savory and adds a wonderful texture to their flavors. The sauce is excellent, I get extra sauce every time. The bottom line is that you can't find better pizza in the Peoria area. We've been eating pizza in Central Illinois for years and I've never found a better pie. read more

If you like Digiorno frozen pizza then you love this place. Probably the worst pizza in the area. Ordered a 16" thankfully they brought us out a 12" bc the waitress took down our order wrong. Best mistake she made .... definitely will not be back. Scale 1-10 it's a 2.0 .... read more
