HOLY SHEET! This is THE BEST PIZZA I have had in this area EVER. I'm not exaggerating. Stop reading this review and just go there.

My kids and the pizzas
Matthew M.

All I wanted for dinner was 40 chicken tendies or a good pizza. I didn't get either. Instead, I got a great pizza and a wonderful moment with my kids. It was very obvious that they care about what they are putting in front of you. And I have to say, easily the best pizza I've ever eaten. Check this place out 5 out of 5

We absolutely love the pizza at Pizza Pushers. They serve different varieties of only Detroit style pizza. It is a very relaxed atmosphere. Order at the counter. Drinks in the cooler. We've tried 3 of their specials pizzas. We might be working through the menu! Photos are HOT WILD.

Peperoni Detroit Style Pizza

I was in the mood for pizza this past weekend I remembered that Pizza Pushers just opened and they offered Detroit Style Pizza. I'm not for one to applaud a business owner to open up another pizza joint in the area or even another mexican food joint as we are over saturated with these kinds of restaurant in the area but Pizza Pushers is the exception in that they offer the different Detroit Style Pizza that you can hardly find in this area. So hats off to Harry the owner for doing something completely different. I arrived Sunday mid-afternoon after fishing the Fox River all morning and I was hungry! I first walk in and scan the menu and Harry tells me they are offering a lunch special in that all pizzas are $5 off, sweet! I went with my regular pepperoni pizza but I wanted Detroit style. He said it would take about 20 mins for him to make my pie but that was fine with me. Pro-Tip: Plan to wait at least 20 mins for your pizza to be done as these pan style pizza takes a bit of time, so call your order a head! As I was sitting there, Harry says to me, "we are experimenting with our version of the New York thin crust style would you be interested in testing a slice for us?" Being a Yelp Elite member, I feel I've eaten enough pizza to justify and provide my critique of a NY style pizza, so I agreed. Let me tell you the NY slice was amazingly delicious! You want a NY slice to be thin and floppy but not so floppy that the cheese is falling off the pizza when you pick it up. The slice had a great crisp to the back side and man it was freaking good, I'm drooling just thinking about it. It will be a great addition to the menu and I can't wait to stop in a grab another slice of this! So I get my Detroit Style Pepperoni and I thank Harry and I head home. I'd like to preface my review in that I've been to Detroit for business and I've had authentic Detroit style pizza from the one and only Buddy's. Be sure to check out my profile for that review. So in essence, I will be comparing Push Pushers pizzas to that of Buddy's in Detroit. The pizza was nice and hot and based on looks alone it met and exceeded that of any Detroit style pizza. But how did it taste? Well, the edges were cooked to perfection and the dough has the right texture, consistency, and was pretty much spot on to that of Detroit pan style pizza. I was extremely pleased and satisfied. The cheese was made with 5 different cheeses and was gooey and taking each bite had a nice crunch on the back end of the slice. The peperoni was good and overall, I have no bad things to says about the pie and it met my expectations for Detroit style pizza. With that said, I'm excited and happy they are in the neighborhood and it's a great change to all the other pizza joints in the area. I cannot wait to stuff my face with some more NY style pizza and obviously their Detroit style pizza will always have a place on my dinner table. Keep up the great work!

The menu

Let me start by saying I absolutely HATE Chicago pizza, and rarely if ever get deep dish, and NEVER get Thin/Tavern style "squares" so seeing this place pop up on my Yelp was very promising as I do enjoy Detroit style quite a bit. Sadly, for $46 I will never be back for what amounts to 2 tiny personal pizzas. Redding the reviews I knew they'd be small, but not THIS small, Perhaps I'm being too harsh as I did pick these up to have at home rather than enjoying them there, but unfortunately the two pies I picked didn't taste much different besides one had jalapeños and the other didn't, there was also 0 Hot Honey On the Wild Hog. Next up is Uncle Jerry's in Cary. REALLY would be nice to get some GOOD NY/Jersey Style in the area... I guess I'll have to stick to The Slice Spot in west Chicago, That's Amore in Crystal Lake, and Little Pop's.

Simple menu.

Want a solid Detroit-style pizza in the Chicagoland area? Look no further than Pizza Pushers in Algonquin. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at the lovely crispy crunch of the crust mixed with the flavorful cheese and sauce. Simply yummy! The owner takes pride in his product and business and was so friendly and came out to ask us how everything was and if he could get us anything. The ambiance is super chill and paneled, with some nostalgic framed posters on the walls. Lots of regulars coming in while we were there. This is the kind of business you just feel good about eating at. I'd say get a pizza for each adult that has a healthy appetite. I promise: one bite and you'll say "daaaayyum" and wonder where this pizza has been all of your life.

Woodfire - Margherita pizza

Woodfire: Where Simplicity, Good Food, and Good People Still Mean Something…read more There's something beautiful about a restaurant that doesn't feel the need to reinvent the wheel. No unnecessary theatrics. No pretentious bullshit. Just honest food, made by people who clearly give a damn about what they're putting on your plate. Another lunch at Woodfire. Another reminder of why we keep coming back. We started with the Tuscan Fries. Potatoes cooked in beef tallow, finished with garlic, herbs, and Parmesan, with a side of garlic aioli. Crispy, rich, unapologetically garlicky. The kind of thing you tell yourself you'll only have a few of before realizing you've damn near polished off the entire plate. I love them. My wife, however, tends to lean in the opposite direction whenever I attempt to kiss her afterward. A small price to pay for greatness. Next came the Rosemary Sausage Pizza. No sauce? No problem. Dough. Mozzarella. Rosemary. Sausage. That's it. Four ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Nothing hiding behind a gallon of tomato sauce or an avalanche of unnecessary toppings. Just a beautiful marriage of flavors, each one knowing its place. Sometimes the most impressive thing a kitchen can do is know when to leave something the hell alone. This remains one of my favorites here. Then came something I wasn't quite prepared for. The Chef's Special: "Ronald Mac Donald." A name that sounds suspiciously like someone forgot to replace the placeholder text before sending the menu to the printer. But don't let the name fool you. This was, without exaggeration, arguably one of the finest chili macs I've had the pleasure of shoveling into my face. Let's start with the pasta. Made fresh, in-house. And the cook on these noodles? Jesus Christ. Absolutely beautiful. That perfect al dente bite. Firm enough to remind you that you're eating real pasta, tender enough to make you immediately reach for another forkful. Whoever was responsible for cooking those noodles deserves a handshake and a cold beer. And the beef chili? Rich, hearty, deeply satisfying. The kind of flavor that doesn't happen by accident. You can taste the time, the patience, the care that went into its preparation. This wasn't some half-assed pot of ground beef and canned tomatoes thrown together to fill a menu slot. This was comfort food with a soul. Now, what good is a meal like this without a beer? Fortunately, Woodfire has that covered, too. As if making their own pizza dough, fresh pasta, and damn near everything else in-house wasn't enough, they've gone a step further with their own beer, produced through Carlyle Brewing in Rockford, Illinois. I went with the Honey Jar. Light. Refreshing. A subtle touch of sweetness. Nothing overpowering, nothing complicated. Just a damn good beer that knows exactly what it is. Sitting there on an unusually warm fall afternoon, enjoying good food and even better company, it was exactly what the occasion called for. And finally, there's Kevin, the bartender. Food might get people through the door, but people like Kevin are what bring them back. There's a difference between someone who simply serves you and someone who genuinely makes you feel welcome. Kevin understands that difference. His attention to detail, his hospitality, and his seemingly endless positivity are something you don't encounter nearly enough in this industry. The man remembers you like you've been neighbors for fifty years. Not because he's working an angle or fishing for a bigger tip, but because he seems to genuinely enjoy the people sitting across from him. And in a world where hospitality is increasingly treated like a transaction, that's worth a hell of a lot. Woodfire isn't trying to be something it isn't. It doesn't need to. Good ingredients. Honest cooking. Cold beer. Genuine hospitality. Sometimes that's all you need. And sometimes, when it's done this well, it's everything.

Woodfire fits naturally into the heart of Dundee -- relaxed, welcoming, and easy to enjoy. The…read morepizza is the highlight, bringing a fun, flavorful approach that works well for both casual nights out and group dinners. The pasta and appetizers are solid across the board, and the drinks round out the experience nicely. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that may not try to overreach, but consistently delivers a good time and a satisfying meal.

That is a mistake. It's really very good. We had a 12" sausage and onion pizza and an entree sized Caesar salad. Both were excellent. Crispy crust and delicious balanced toppings went great together. The salad was generously served with tasty chicken and shaved Parmesan and croutons. Not a destination place but a valuable restaurant for their thousands of neighbors. If in the area stop by. Also the bill was $31.00 and we ate half and will enjoy the other half tomorrow. A good deal.

It's a rugged, warm setting that feels more like a hidden cabin than a pizza joint. Their claim to fame is the "Double Decker," a pizza with two layers of dough and in between is sauce and cheese. It was ok but I think I'll stick with my deep dish thanks. Also tried the chicken parm sandwich. It was a good size and came crispy but tasted fairly bland. It could've use a more generous helping of sauce to bring it to life. Fries were good, the kids loved it. Other than that the most memorable thing about Village Pizza Pub would be their shoulder mounts.

The quality impressed us most. The bagels tasted fresh overall, with great flavor and that satisfying chewy interior you want from a proper NYC-style kettle-boiled bagel. The cream cheeses were especially good; smooth, rich, and packed with bold flavor. I went with a CYO breakfast bagel: one over-easy egg, Muenster, extra bacon, and a light hit of pepper ketchup (iykyk) on a toasted and scooped garlic & herb bagel with chive and green onion cream cheese. Messy, savory, rich, and fantastic. We also grabbed a mixed half-dozen to go, cinnamon raisin bagel chips, and tubs of honey walnut and chive & green onion cream cheese. The bagel chips were especially addictive; super crunchy and they practically shatter like glass. I also spotted a bottle of Martinelli's apple juice in that iconic round glass bottle, which was a fun little nostalgia hit since I grew up drinking it in South Florida. The place itself is bright, clean, and energetic. We arrived around 10:30 on a Sunday and there was a steady stream of people eating in and grabbing to-go orders. Definitely more of a hip, happening little spot than I expected. My only real knock is the price. This visit came to $56.34, which definitely made me wince. I get it though; it feels more like an occasional treat than an everyday stop. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, especially that unique-looking pizza, but at these prices... probably not next weekend.
