4.5 stars....Has been a long time staple. The pizza is good and always solid with flavor. Service with and kind young man at the counter. We usually order cheese and sausage or veggie with hot peppers. I ordered my pizza with extra cheese this time and they could have cooked it a few minutes longer to brown it but it was still good. I love the crust. Good prices, good options, smaller dine in spot without alcohol but they have beverage options. Street parking read more

We used to live in this neighborhood and this was are GO TO PIZZA JOINT! It's my son's 27 b-day and we were there at 2pm just like the website claims. Guess what no one came to the door we knocked on-we called got put on hold immediately. We waited and nada. Damn shame -we were really looking forward to revisit our go to pizza place. Walked down to Tequila CJ instead and rewarded them with our hard earned money. read more

They closed for remodeling for an unexpected amount of time and re opened recently and it is definitely not the same. The indoor eating area is a lot smaller now, we sat down to eat a while ago and was brought out paper plates to eat our food with which was very questionable. The past couple times I have gone in to pick up my order and place my order on the phone I was encountered with quite literally the rudest staff ever. The girls at the front desk are very unfriendly and antisocial; they never greet anyone as they enter, the girl brought out my pizza and placed it on the counter next to the register and told me have a good day, couldn't even hand the pizza to me. The most recent experience I had I had placed an online order and was given an error message so I tried to place the order a second time and another error message so I called it in and was charged then I got off the phone and looked at my bank account to see that they had charged me both times for when my order "didn't go through" and a 3rd time for the phone order, when i spoke with a manager they told me "oh yeah sometimes our website is messed up like that" ??????? Took about 3 weeks for the charges to clear and the money to go back into my account. My final straw with them was the other day; i ordered a large pizza with pepperoni and bacon, the bacon was very fatty and the pizza was beyond lackluster, as for my BONELESS wings, I took a bite into one and felt a crunch to my surprise there was a huge bone in the chicken. I cannot justify any of this nonsense for the food anymore, the quality in ingredients has gone way down the pizza does not taste the same. Very Disappointing Villa Rosa, what happened!!!?? read more

I'm so happy that Villa Rosa reopened up, for years all we ever ordered from was Villa Rosa, for ourselves and whenever we had parties and everyone would comment on how good the pizza is and where it's from. We just recently ordered a pizza and it was just as good if not better then ever, once again, we are so happy Villa Rosa is back in business. read more

I made an order for 3 pizzas they told me it would be an hour. So I am on my way there (A few blocks away) I get call from Villa Rosa and they said their system had dropped our ticket. They could put in the order and it be another 40 min. And for our inconvenience they would give us a free 2 liter of Pepsi. No one in my house drinks Pepsi. I think when you have a 75 dollar order and they offer you a 2 dollar product that you don't want is pretty cheap or unaware of the customer's wants. I didn't want to go home and then sit for 5 minutes and then drive back. I would have been happy with some kind of discount. I canceled this order and went somewhere else. read more

Villa Rosa Pizza - Italian beef is GOOD!!! - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Same great tasting Pizza for over 30 years had it last night and love it . Will definitely recommend and continue to order from Villa Rosa !

DO NOT ORDER YOUR FOOD HERE! We had a scheduled delivery for 6:30p. We called because our food was 20mim late. We spoke to a woman on the phone who said they couldn't give me a delivery time and that our food was still waiting for us. We asked to speak to a manager and was left on hold. I called back to ask if we can just pick it up, they placed me on hold again, and finally said it was fine. We go to pick up our food to be told it was not ready! There were other people there waiting for over an hour for there orders. We asked to speak to a manager and he was in the back complaining about how terrible his day was. He also was telling the employees to stop answering calls for catering. We finally get home to have our late dinner, and the chicken was undercooked! Completely disappointed and saddened that we will not be ordered from Villa Rosa after many years of going there. read more

Villa Rosa Pizza - Raw chicken - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered chicken wings, fries and pizza from here and I had gotten an allergic reaction after I ate the food, and I'm allergic to seafood. The only thing I had ate from the order was chicken wings. So I'm unsure if they're using the same oil to fry the chicken and fish in but they need to do a better job not to cross contaminate their items. read more

I've been meaning to get here for about 2yrs now! Finally near them and definitely wanted to try them out. Really glad I checked them out. I ordered on a Friday afternoon at like 3. I was advised 30mins and it took about that. My pizza was ready when I arrived. I devoured it in the car lol. I live 30mins away, plus Friday traffic. No need to play games I was a starving chick! The pizza I got was a small sausage, extra sauce, well done. PERFECTO!!!!!! NO COMPLAINTS. $12 bucks for a solid pie! Service was ok. I didn't have any issues. Hope this continues. read more

The fact that you guys don't deliver to a black neighborhood less than 10 minutes away is kind of racist to me but hey it is what it is and ya open to late on weekdays read more

I tried this pizza for the first time , didn't want the standard like Beggars, i was looking for Authentic Pizza flavor , well the toppings were plentiful but the sauce was sparse and not flavorful , i doubt if i will be a return customer. Oh the cannoli was good read more

Went for dinner the other day because Dannys was way to packed, the staff is great but pizza was not good at all too salty but yet no flavor not sure what happened I am assuming when it was bought off they didnt get the exact recipe ? I believe Dannys and villa rosa are by the same corporation they should just use dannys recipe. Tha place was dead, back in the day we had to wait to be seated on a Friday night because the food and pizza was really good NOT ANYMORE !was reAnother good pizza joint selling out and going down. Thank god we have lots of pizza joint around this place wont be missed if it closes down or maybe thats the point ?.. one more over prized 26$ for a medium 2 topping pizza ! read more

Oh Villa Rosa! How did I not know how delicious you are!!?? My goodness, I'm full from the most perfect rigatoni aglio e olio w chicken and broccoli. We also ordered a meatball sammich covered in mozzarella. The meatballs are amazing, tender and so tasty. Everything was over the top wonderful! read more

We decided to give Villa Rosa another try since we hadn't ordered in quite some time. We ordered a large half pepperoni half sausage and a chicken Parmigiano. Sadly the pizza was terrible, crust tasted so much like yeast, barely any sauce or cheese and canned mushrooms, come on! I've had better frozen pizza, chicken parm had weird orange colored sweet sauce and the chicken seemed old. Worst of all so overpriced! Never again. read more

Great Pizza Sometimes, not consistent and Very Over Priced the Guy Owns Danny's Pizza also so I Guess he tries to corner the Market in this Area. read more

Wife and I stopped here on a Saturday night at around 8:00pm. The inside looks totally different and seems to be more oriented towards pickup than dine in just based on the limited amount of tables I noticed within the small dining area. We placed our order and had a seat at one of the few tables within the restaurant. As we sat there waiting for our food, we noticed something not only very interesting but also very consistent. The telephone rang several times and many of those calls seemed to be from customers who had placed orders earlier that evening and were inquiring about where their food was. We listened (believe me, the place is so small now you can't help but hear everything) as a couple of different employees gave some pretty colorful replies to the customers on the other end of the phone. It made me glad that we were actually dining in and had not ordered delivery. Overall, the pizza was quite good but the entire customer service thing was pretty much lacking as displayed by the way several transactions were handled by the employees. I've read the previous reviews about this place and I must say that they are pretty accurate. To be a successful and in demand business, one cannot rely on product alone. The employees (customer service) must also be top notch and sometimes even go above and beyond in order to compete with other businesses of a similar type. read more

First time ordering, had it delivered. Young lady on the phone was pleasant, delivery was on time. At least 4 stars. Would have given more but they do not put garlic in the pizza, had to order it separately which is OK but I always thought garlic was a staple of pizzas read more

I am surprised at some of the negative reviews about Villa Rosa Pizza. Whenever I am in town, I come to Villa Rosa Pizza for some delicious deep dish Chicago pizza since it is so close to Midway Airport. Their pizza rivals that of Lou Malnati's without the long wait. You can tell that the owners of this place have been in the pizza business for a very long time and have mastered the art of pizza making. Writing this review is making me hungry for their mushroom and pepperoni deep dish pizza. I remember it like it was yesterday. The crust was thick and buttery, while the remainder of the pizza was filled with hot delectable cheese and my chosen toppings. If you want to salivate over a good Chicago deep dish pizza, you'll have to stop by Villa Rosa! read more

What did we do? Was really in the mood for pizza but of course we couldn't find a menu. What do you know? We found this spot because of a flyer that was stuck to the door outside. Well, I should of left it. Tuna encased pizza! What was the partner thinking? Tuna belongs in a can not on pizza. At first I was like ewwww, really? Than I did try a slice, it was an acquired taste of course. Would I ever try it again, OH NO! It was too tuna eeeee. I was not impressed in the least with taste, texture and downright smell of the tuna. The partner did order a week later some regular pizza, you know sausage, cheese, onions and the works. And although it was not the drop dead pizza I am used to from these spots, it was not super bad, hence the three stars. If you want a regular pizza and nothing fancy but a pizza, than order from here, thats all I can say. read more

This is the local family restaurant, not like those franchise places. Pizza is great, seasoned really well. We like to get the thick crust or stuffed pizza. It's not to big inside, but there always seems to be a table. Love the tortellini alfredo! We also have ordered their fries, onions rings, combination platter, and jalapeño poppers all were great tasting! There's plenty of street parking on Archer Ave, but if you don't want to pick it up the wait time for delivery has always been decent. read more

Had lunch here again on Saturday. Hubby and I both ordered a Caesar salad - excellent. Hubby had chicken slices - right out of the oven - seasoned so well and juicy and tender. I would definitely like to try a chicken dish now (other than the Parm). He had a cheeseburger in a lettuce bun - HUGE!! I had the spaghetti aglio olio and it was wonderful. PLUS we got a FREE medium cheese pizza to go for signing up for the birthday club. Wonderful meal with plenty of delicious leftovers. Thank you, Villa Rosa! read more

I had an issue with an employee but the manager took care of it. I have been a loyal customer and enjoy this pizza. Giving it another chance. read more

We ordered a large stuffed pepperoni pizza, which we've gotten from here twice before since discovering this place. Never any problems with delivery and the pizza is very good. I actually prefer going here to Giordano's now. The ratio of sauce to cheese to crust is just right for my liking. This time, the delivery driver must have been in a hurry or something because our pizza was a little...off. We called and they made us another, which we decided to pick up. They apologized and threw in a free 2 liter soda. Great customer service, which you don't see a lot of these days. This hasn't spoiled our new found love for this place and we will continue to enjoy their pizza. read more

MUST TRY! Talk about great food. My guys and I, spontaneously ordered food for the NFL games. Just outstanding.

One of the best pizza places on the south side. This place has been around for more than 50 years and it never disappoints. Pizza is still the same but BETTER. The sauce and the crust is so DELICIOUS... read more

I am giving this place 1 not for the pizza(they have the best tasting around)but the new owner(Polish guy) raised the price at least 4 times in the last 2yrs!! There pizza is officially more than a filet mignon dinner! After 25yrs of ordering here i am done with there outrageous pizza charges, i hope he gets sick and is forced to sell it to someone with a little bit more respect to once lifelong customers! If you win the little lotto,feel free to order here(or save the receipt and give it to your accountant to claim on your taxes read more

Small place, lots of people coming here for takeout. Villa Rosa is where the locals go. Our pizza was amazing. The cheese was fresh and flavorful. We asked for extra sauce on the suggestion of another Yelper and we are glad we did. We ordered a Rosa's special and asked for black olives as an extra ingredient. People were staring at our pizza as it was delivered - there was easily two cups of black olives atop the pizza - I ended up taking off more than I left on. So if you order extra ingredients, keep in mind you will get a LOT of it. You might want to say "easy on the extra ingredient" unless you want a ton of it. We loved the pizza so much that we took the leftovers on a 2 hr plane ride and ate the rest when we got home. It was piled high with ingredients, the cheese was fresh and flavorful, and the crust was sturdy to hold everything. Friendly and accommodating service, from the counter guys to the waitresses. Parking is tight so we parked across the street around the corner. I would come here again in a heartbeat. read more

My wife and I tried this pizza place in Garfield ridge just recently. I'd like to say it's just ok. We did carry out. And in my life I've tried a lot of pizza. This pizza was a different type of crust. And I can't say I liked it. Sausage was good and cheese was good with the sauce. But nothing I'd be running back to buy again. Am I a pizza snob no but this is Chicago and a certain crust seems to work well with many a pizza places. This one at Villa Rosa I'd didn't care for and you ask why? Well it wasn't crispy and was kind of blah. It reminded me of a pizza place in states that have awful pizza that are chains in a college town. The order was right the food was just ok. It's not an Obbies or Danny's or Piasans's. Nothing about it would make me want to have it again. You hear people refer to this as good pub pizza. I guess if your a beer drinker and you mix the two then sure anything tastes better when enjoying a beer. The price for the quality and taste doesn't go together as well. A better product would yield the cost we paid but not what we ate. It wasn't normal good for Chicago pizza in a neighborhood with so many great pizza places. It doesn't make sense that this place has been around for as many years as they say with a product like this. Maybe after all these years it's time to rethink pizza. I would because you definitely don't see the foot traffic that the other pizza places in the neighborhood do. read more
