Great Food, Great Pizza... ok, let me balance out this review - the kids who man the register, could use some enthusiasm - its like each time I go there, someone died.) read more

I've been coming here since I was a little kid. Always order the thick pizza special and those two slices of grease and cheese never let me down. It's delicious, honestly. The cheese is almost always gooping over the edges and it's usually really difficult to finish both slices due to how big and filling they are. Their other food is good too. I love the fried mushrooms and chicken tenders. read more

The pizza absolutely redeems this place. 100%. When you first walk in to pick up your order, the place seems dated and a little dirty. The last time I went in, I asked the young girl at the front counter if she could look up my order and her exact words were "I dunno, I just answer phones" and she straight up turned and walked away....honestly, it was almost funny. So I just waited until I got someone else, who promptly pulled out my order. Let me tell you- WAYNE'S PIZZA IS DELICIOUS! It's SO GOOD!!!! Makes all the goofy customer service just kind of fade away.... The pizza is 5-star worthy! read more

Terrible service. Older lady working there was an absolute terror to deal with. Ordered a bunch of food and they ended up covering the wings in hot sauce when I asked for it on the side. Accusing me of lying and that I never said anything about the wings being naked, the lady finally aggravatedly went to remake the wings and by the time this was all done our fries were soggy the gyro and beef were cold the beef was beyond dry. I've had the pizza before and it's nothing special.besides it being pretty cheap it has nothing going for them. I'm surprised they're still in business. Alot of young kids and parents with kids and sports team go there because it's a cheap local place. If you want good service and good pizza and food in general go to emails in grayslake off center. read more

My favorite pizza of all time and one of the best WOMEN OWNED businesses, run by one of the most honest, hardworking families! They are consistent with their food, dedicated to their work, and they care about their employees. I drive 45 minutes out of my way just to get their pizza every few months. I know many people that have worked there for almost a decade, if not more, and if that doesn't tell you about their integrity as a business, then just go try their pizza for yourself! read more

Just what I like! We received a recommendation from a co-worker who told us this place was the only place to order pizza in the Grayslake area, and that it was still his top fav even while living in Chicago. We ordered a sausage and pepperoni pan pizza and some bosco sticks for pickup. The crust was exactly how I like it (soft and doughy with just enough crust), not too much sauce (even though the sauce was delicious), decent amount of meat toppings, and the bosco sticks totally hit the spot! We really liked that this joint had an old school oven! The second time we ordered, however, we ordered delivery. They said it would take an hour, and when the clock started getting closer to the hour they called to let us know that they might just be a bit later than originally estimated - which is fine, it was just nice to get a call to let us know! However, the delivery boy must have been in a rush because when we opened our pizza box, all the toppings were thrown to one side! Plus there was WAY too much cheese for our liking. Still love the place, but next time we'll make sure to say less cheese and we'll pick it up! read more

We decided to order from here after seeing the good reviews and were UNpleasantly surprised. We ordered 3 different thin crust pizzas. The crust was extremely chewy on 2 of the pizzas and the third was cooked well. There was nothing special about the pizza regarding the sauce or toppings. This made all the good reviews very confusing. The only positive was their customer service. The people we talked to were extremely nice. read more

Two pizza slices and pop for under five bucks. One star taken away for not being air conditioned. Maybe by the 22nd century. read more

Well, finally.. we found the best pizza we have had in Illinois. Tried em all around here. Got so tired of the weird cheese (one bite the whole topping comes off in a clump)- that pie crust (not deep dish/just crackery crust) typical around here for some reason.. so we stuck with Dominos (I guess best of chains or at least consistent) Well... Wayne's was a fantastic surprise. First off easy to order and fast Then low and behold.. we finally found a GREAT pizza. This is really good pizza. I'm trying to rush this review because I need a third slice but couldn't wait to share my review... well, THIS is our place now. Give it a try.. thanks read more

We got a double decker pizza and a couple appetizers to share.. it was fantastic! Great flavor, good pricing,quality little shop!

I like Wayne's Pizza and I have never ordered a full pizza from them. I usually get some type of slice combo deal, ie a thin and thick slice with a drink for around $5. I dont know how much of a deal this actually is but every time I get it, I like it as the pizza is very good. They have at least 2 locations, the other in Lindenhurst on 45, and this is the older of the ones I know very near CLC. Inside consist of a counter to order from and a few booths and tables with a few tables outside during summer. I have no idea what a full pie would cost and I know they have other menu options other than pizza but I always get the slice deal and come away satisfied. The ice cream part to me is irrelevant as I dont like sweets. read more

Been a customer of Wayne's for many years. Their pizza is on our family's top 5 list and that's sayin' something with the likes of so many other pizza joints in the Chicagoland area. They are within a few minutes of where we live though, Home Run Inn isn't. :) We mostly order their pizza, but when we've had other items on their menu - thumbs up. read more

Great pizza, especially thin crust. Only place in the area that has figured out that mushrooms shrink when you bake them. When you order from them, the finished pizza is brimming with mushrooms. More than you get from most places with 2X mushroom. We order from these guys at least 3 times a month. One of our top 5 pizza places. read more

Like the individual slices of pizza for sale here. This place has been a favorite of mine for many years. A little plain inside but the pizza dogs are the best here. I give five stars based only on the Pizza dogs read more

Wayne's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Third Lake, Illinois

This is the best pizza place in Gurnee/Grayslake area. It's just as good as Lou Malnati's. This place is truly a hidden gem Gurnee. 5$ for two slices of pizza and a drink. Will stop in again in the future! read more

SORRY ITS SO LONG BUT THIS ALL NEEDS TO BE SAID!!!!! First of all and what makes this even more upsetting is that the thin crust pizza here is outstanding! Now that being said we all know how customer service can completely make or break everything. Last time we picked up a pizza from Wayne's there was an older man working the register and a few teenagers in the kitchen. As we waited for our pizza to finish we watched the teen boy tossing the pizza dough then using his finger through the dough to scratch his nose. As he continued to toss that same dough,my boyfriend and I laughed and told the old man manager who then laughed and said "high school kids" and told the boy to get a new dough. Then a few minutes later we watched the teenage girl in the kitchen drop a mozzarella stick on the ground. It actually landed in the teen boys foot who then tried to kick it to his hands, which he failed and it landed on the ground, the teen boy picked it up, blew it off and ate it. We got our pizza and laughed the whole way home. Now tonight we ordered another extra large thin crust pizza. We walk in to pick it up and the same old man is working the register. Before we walked in we saw through the window that same old guy with his entire leg all the way inside the garbage can pushing the trash down. So we go to pay for the pizza and had a $3.00 off coupon online on my phone. The man says in a very rude, arrogant and condescending tone how I have to print it. He kept saying No, print it and then kind of looked at my boyfriend shaking his head saying "these women" and proceeded to tell me that I have to print it because that's the only way they get paid from the government. Haha that is the biggest load of BS I have ever been told. So we go to leave and I asked for a few Parmesan cheeses and red pepper flakes for our extra large pizza. He charged me 25 cents for each one. $1.07 total. What the F*CK is that crap! Not only have I worked in the industry for 12 years and currently do but we are huge pizza eaters. We have dined in and carried out pizza all over our whole lives as well as our fiends and family! NEVER EVER ONE TIME HAVE ANYBODY BEEN CHARGED FOR PARMESAN CHEESE AND RED PEPPER FOR THEIR PIZZA!!!!!!!! That is a condiment that sits on the tables at every pizza place known to man and if you carryout your pizza it is given to you. If it is not automatically given to you there is a large to container to take some or you ask and they gladly give you some! This old man took my dollar for the pizza condiments and then took change from the "give a penny take a penny" and said "I'll take care of the 7 cents"!!!!! From working in the restaurants and customer service for many years I'm am appalled at these outrageous experiences. I sure hope that rude old man isn't the owner because that would be a shame. As for whoever the owner is you should be disturbed and concerned about the way business is being conducted because your product is absolutely delicious. Take some courses on customer service and get some health class certifications because CNS would shut you down. read more

Whenever I'm craving a slice of pizza I love coming to Wayne's, I really enjoy that it's a locally family owned restaurant. Everyone is so nice whenever my family and I come to eat. Their thin pizza and deep dish are both very delicious read more

3 stars because the last two times we picked up pizza the crust was burnt . Disappointing. .

Lunch special is a staple in my CLC life. 2 thin slices + diet coke = heaven on a foam plate!! I have to admit, I've never ordered anything from here besides pizza slices. I'm not sure that I will ever order anything else. It's just so so so good. So very good. The crew working here is always so friendly, and the prices are unbeatable. I bring in a $5 bill and that's all I ever need. Thank you!! read more

Thin crust is top notch. When I'm craving, and I usually am, Wayne's is my first choice. Service is very friendly and fast. Prices are very reasonable in terms of what you're usually paying for a pizza at some of these other places. They're always honest on times. I've ordered more times than I can count on a few hands combined, and never one mistake! I've never checked out the ice cream parlor, but that may be because of the time of day I go. I usually get a za for dinner and not lunch. One of these days I'll grab some and add that portion to my review. Great one stop shop for dinner and desert! read more

Got the hand tossed meat lovers. Got a large and it was huge but pizza was just... okay. It was soo much dough

Wayne's pizza used to be good. In the past year or so, they reduced the amount of sauce to the point that there is barely any there. (Probably to save money). Then they doubled the amount of oregano to make up for the lack of tomato flavor, to the point that it now tastes salty, but It's just oregano overkill, not salt. Result: a dry crunchy crust, with little or no sauce and salty oregano flavor. It's a shame because I know Wayne made better pizza than this. read more

Offering a variety of pizza crust thicknesses and whole pizzas as well as by the slice, I love their thin crust style pizza, but with just a few select toppings so to be able to really taste everything. And the taste is so good that it keeps me coming back for the same menu selection every time. Their 'thin' crust is thin and crispy, yet strong enough to support the toppings. Their sauce is slightly sweet, the cheese is buttery, stringy and flavorful, but not heavy or greasy. Their sausage is plentiful on each slice and I can clearly taste the oregano and fennel seed. Despite the flavors of each of the toppings, I can still taste the crust (which I feel is important- gotta be able to taste the 'bread'). I feel it is both a delicious and proportionately balanced thin crust pizza. There are lots of good pizzerias in the US but I feel Wayne's is a little more unique than the average and a little more memorable than most. Wayne's offers lots of sandwiches, sides, salads, appetizers and other fare, but embarrassingly I have never strayed and tried any of them... I keep coming back for their thin crust sausage pizza! read more

Best pizza in the area. Thin or pan, this is the goods at a reasonable price. Also has an expanded menu with sandwiches, shrimp, beef etc

We ordered carryout. We get home, and the Bosco sticks I ordered were so burned the cheese wasn't even in them anymore. When my husband called the manager argued with him about them not being burned and that was they way they were supposed to be. We've ordered Bosco sticks from plenty other places and I know that's not what they're supposed to be like. He went as far to tell my husband to bring them back and if he decided that they were in fact burnt they would consider giving us a replacement. This place has horrible customer service. I am never eating here again and there is a reason why we have avoided them for so long I guess. read more

Wayne's Pizza - Awful - Pizza Near Me - Third Lake, Illinois

Wow!! This place has the absolute BEST pizza ever!! I'm an Italian from Kenosha, WI where they are pretty much known for all their pizza places. But Wayne's has definitely won my vote! I never write reviews but I am eating thus pizza at this exact moment and just had to share my views. Yummmmmy!! P.s. GREAT SERVICE TOO!!! -Christina and Peter read more

Wayne's has awesome thin crust zzzah! They have the perfect sauce, cheese, toppings ratio. Their pizza isn't a total grease bomb. I didn't have to blot my pizza like I normally do. I didn't know they also have ice cream. I may have to check that out next time I'm in the northern burbs. I wish you were in the city Wayne, I would order from you in a heartbeat :) read more

I grew up in Chicago. I know how pizza should be. Chicago pizza is *not* thick bread with tomato sauce and cheese!!!! There are two kinds of Chicago pizza, deep-dish and thin crust. Thin crust requires more than a crust rolled thinly. The crust needs to crunch without having a cracker consistency. The sauce and the cheese need seasoning, and not a mere pass at the oregano and basil. The oil from both the sauce and the cheese should drip in yummy anticipation. Wayne's exceeds the expectations of Chicago thin crust. The smell alone brought back childhood memories!!!! While I couldn't taste it, family and friends swore I was missing the taste treat of the decade. Wayne's also carries a variety of other foods and meals. The Italian beef is excellent, even without the bread. The prices are reasonable. You might have to wait on Friday evening, and thoughout Saturday. Be patient. It is worth it. read more

Wayne's is far and away the best pizza in the far north suburbs! Whether you like thin crust or pan pizza, you won't be disappointed; both are fantastic here! For a very special treat, you have to try their specialty breakfast pizza. It's really delicious. For great food, reasonably priced, in a family-friendly atmosphere, come to Wayne's Pizza in Third Lake! I'm very glad I found this place, and I will definitely be back! read more

Wayne's is *the* best around. Two slices your choice (and a medium drink) of thin, thick or one of each for just about five bucks. it's a great deal. I normally get a large fry ($1.99) as well to fill up on and i am always pleased leaving Wayne's. I will be back time and time again because this thin crust pizza is perfect. Thin, smoky, flavorful and is spiced up just perfectly. The thick pizza is good but the thin is unbeatable. Highly recommended to anyone in the area looking for a good slice. Reminds me of back home on the east coast. read more

Love love love their pizza! I worked next door and we constantly were ordering from here. The crust is so thin, and it stays crispy unlike most places where it starts to get soggy and just not good eats. I think it's their sauce that gets me though, it's so tasty! I have ordered pizza from here to go and then drove home to the Antioch area and the crust was still crunchy. Definitely my favorite pizza in lake county! read more

Never ordered a full pizza but their by slice pizza was crappy like worse 10times than a boxed pizza

My dad used to take me here when I was a kid and I went back and it tasted just as amazing as I remember. If only the pizza slices were a bit bigger. read more

All I gotta say is after searching for a great pizza place out here I've finally found it....the pizza and service is great especially the double decker pizza. I recommend ordering from here whenever your feening for some amazing read more

Just moved to the area and called Wayne's for a delivery order. I found on yelp and it was only 2.5 miles away. The girl on the phone said she wasn't sure if they delivered there until 10 minutes figuring out where I lived. I told her I could just come pick it up that would be okay. I let her know we had just moved in and didn't have anything in our house and she demanded I print a coupon. She said I would not be able to show her a picture of it on my phone. I let her know she could just cancel my order and I would go somewhere else and she said okay have a nice day. I don't think the owner would appreciate them giving away business that easily. read more

Not sure if they use frozen or old crusts as it was as stale and tough as I have ever had. I am not picky but pizza crust this tough is simply lack of quality. Having tried most of the pizza in the area this is at the bottom of the list. read more

Slices are a wonderful edge over other local pizza joints. I recommend the pizza highly, but the sandwiches and whatnot are nothing to get to excited about. 2 thin slices and a fountain drink you can refill for under $5 makes this a very popular lunch spot for the local blue collar folks. read more

Awesome pizza and all the other classics. A must try & the best in lake county for sure

Best breakfast pizza in town ! Alway satisfied full and happy at a great price.......

Great thin crust pizza! Good delivery service.
