It has that true mom-and-pop, local favorite feel that makes you want to keep coming back. Being located right in downtown Cary gives it even more character. The deep dish pizza is fantastic, with a really interesting twist of hot honey that takes it to another level. It's different in the best way. If you're planning to dine in, make sure you give yourself plenty of time. The line for a table can get long, but the staff works incredibly hard to seat everyone as quickly as possible. If you're in more of a rush, I'd definitely recommend carryout--it's absolutely worth the wait either way. A true local gem.

As a first time diner, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was delighted to be introduced to a new, local, and fresher version of Lou Manati's. While not a local to Cary, IL it was definitely worth the almost 1 hour drive. To top it off, their staff was friendly, attentive, and created an authentic family vibe for you to dine with kids, friends, or family!

It was a bit uncomfortably warm even though it was cold outside. First up was the Burrata, Prosciutto & Pesto appetizer. It was okay. Fresh but wouldn't get it again. I've had better. We ordered cheese, pepperoni, and Prosciutto & Arugula pizza (meh), along with a Caesar Salad. Create your own pizza can add up very quickly. They charge you for everything. Our pizzas were cooked perfectly. Sizzling hot, super greasy and cheesy. Who knew pepperoni and hot honey complement each other! They only have Peroni on tap and the guys enjoyed it with their pizzas. Cute decor. Kids friendly. Not so much date night vibe.

The suburbs don't usually inspire much confidence when someone tells you they're taking you out for…read morepizza. More often than not, you're looking at another tavern-cut pie, a dozen televisions screaming sports highlights, and a menu designed by committee. Safe. Predictable. Forgettable. Then there's Woodfire. I ended up here with my family celebrating my son's second birthday and was immediately reminded that every now and then, hidden among the endless strip malls and chain restaurants of the Chicago suburbs, you'll stumble across a place that actually gives a damn. The Vodka Pizza arrived looking almost too good to touch. Almost. Hot Calabrian vodka sauce. Fresh mozzarella. Shallot. Pepperoni. Ricotta. Basil. A combination that sounds familiar enough until that first bite lands and the heat punches through. Not the fake, watered-down, suburban version of spicy that restaurants use to avoid frightening anyone. This pizza has conviction. It has backbone. The Calabrian peppers make their presence known immediately and refuse to apologize for it. Good. Food should have an opinion. The crust, charred, blistered, beautifully imperfect, comes from house-made dough cooked in a wood-fired oven that sits like the beating heart of the restaurant. Every pie carries those little marks of fire that remind you an actual human being made it. Not a conveyor belt. Not a timer. Fire. Flour. Skill. And speaking of things that deserve respect, let's talk about the bar. Kevin has become something of a local legend in Dundee. The kind of bartender whose name gets mentioned before the cocktail list. The kind of guy who understands that making drinks isn't about pouring alcohol into a glass. It's hospitality, theater, craftsmanship, and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. Still chasing the heat from the pizza, I ordered the Spicy Flamingo. A dangerous drink. Sweet enough to invite you in. Spicy enough to keep you paying attention. The kind of cocktail that disappears faster than you intended and leaves you contemplating a second before the first one is gone. Around us, bussers moved through the dining room like a pit crew at Daytona. Tables were cleaned before they looked dirty. Empty glasses vanished. New guests were seated. The machine never stopped moving. Then there's Chef Mason. It's obvious someone in that kitchen understands the difference between cooking food and feeding people. There's technique here. Knowledge. Discipline. But thankfully none of the self-important nonsense that infects so many restaurants once they start believing their own press. Woodfire isn't trying to change your life. It's not trying to educate you. It's not trying to be the coolest restaurant in the room. Like Ferris Bueller, it understands that life moves pretty fast. So instead of chasing trends, it focuses on making exceptional handmade pizza, memorable pasta, serious cocktails, and creating a place where people actually want to spend an evening. In a world full of restaurants desperately trying to be something, Woodfire succeeds by simply being exactly what it is. And that's a hell of a lot rarer than it should be.

Woodfire fits naturally into the heart of Dundee -- relaxed, welcoming, and easy to enjoy.

Being right in downtown Crystal Lake just adds to the character and charm. Their deep dish pizza is outstanding. I'd argue it's one of the best deep dishes I've ever had. Just a heads up...give yourself some time. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour for a deep dish, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The staff is always friendly, and the whole experience just feels like a classic local favorite done right. If you're in Crystal Lake and craving pizza, this is the spot.

We ordered some calamari and chicken wings to start, and both were delicious! Then we ordered two deep-dish pizzas: Mama Primavera, which came with spinach, mushrooms, tomato, green peppers, garlic, and onion. Also got the Papa one which comes with sausage, mushroom, onion, green peppers, pepperoni, and bacon. So between the two mama is like a vegetarian style and Papa's has meat. The sizes are huge and we probably should have ordered a smaller size. Next time! Overall it was tasty and I would come back!

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.

We showed up with a crowd ... and I mean a pretty big group of 15 on a weeknight. There were several other big groups that night as well. Our food arrived to us hot, the beers were cold, the soft drinks were topped off constantly. Service was outstanding, even though the place was busy. A few weeks later, the craving for Village hit again so my family of four went on a Saturday night. It was busy but not horrible. We were seated right away. Food was delish and the service was great. It's always loud in there but that is to be expected. I have been going to Village Pizza since I was a kid in the 1980's and it's not going to end anytime soon.

Cons: The bottom of both our Asiago bagels were so hard they were inedible. We ended up removing them to eat the huge sandwich. The onions were sliced thin but were very stringy. Although generous, $36.70 for 2 sandwiches and 2 small sides was high for a deli lunch. We'd like to think that this was just a bad day for their Asiago bagels, and it was at the end of the day, but that didn't allow us to eat them. We may try again, but the cost is a deterrent.
