    Detroit style veggie pizza
    Quin B.

    Here at Pizza Pushers in Algonquin. The menu is very simple with a few different choices. This is Detroit style pizza that comes in one size. My veggie pizza was $21 and took about 30 min to prepare. I grabbed mine after it was ready and took it home. My pizza was nothing extra ordinary or special, but it was good. Service was friendly.

    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!

    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.

    Hog Wild.

    Great Detriot pizza. Had the hog wild and hell raiser-both amazing. Small enough to share both with someone else and have a few pieces to take home. Started with the Caesar salad with great dressing and homemade croutons. Met one of the owners Jaime great guy. Highly recommend.

    Hellraiser

    First time and I was impressed. Perfect Detroit style pizza. Had the Hellraiser - not too spicy, and the Hogwild, great flavor. Looking forward to forward to returning.

    Hellraiser and Wolf!!

I had a long commute home, so I left it uncut. It smelled so good, I wish I could have had a piece in the ride home. When we finally made it home after his long bus ride, I cut it and heated up a few slices at 250 in the oven. It was delicious....it would certainly be better fresh. Super crispy crust, sweet sauce without the typical tomato chunks like Lou's would be. Excellent cheese pulls and really flavorful when all the notes are combined. (About $23) The signage is not the best at night, so know it's attached to a meat store, deli like. Once I figure it out I went in to wait. The place was packed at 7:30 on a Wednesday. The bar is in the center left, with the to go pick up at one side. The tables flank all 180 degrees of the bar. Lots of people. Worth the hype, excited for the next 3.5 years of my son playing Cary Grove so we can try the Uncle Jerry's hot pepperoni pizza and the spinach as well. Check them out!
