"What was once a prominent local chain has been whittled down to a just a few locations in the suburbs. That hasn’t stopped this Northbrook outpost, though, from cranking out superb tavern-style pizzas. The crisp, cornmeal-dusted crust provides the foundation for a right amount of cheese, tangy sauce, and toppings like housemade sausage." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

This pizza was sooooooooo good! First time trying it and I was surprised how delicious everything was. The crust is so unique and crunchy and the pizza is thin the way I like it. The sausage was my favorite by far the best tasting sausage I’ve had on a pizza. I need to eat inside while the pizza is fresh and hot because we did take out and it was so good I only can imagine eating it fresh.

First time here and I am sooo happy to have found this place. You walk in and go to the counter and order there. When your food is ready they call your number. The workers were very pleasant. Their pizza crust is perfection and super original!!! My daughter got the chicken parmigiana and it's was delicious! We will definitely be back when we come back down!!!

I never just order pizza here. Begin with a side salad, follower by the fried shrimp platter and top it off with a philly cheesesteak (mozzarella cheese) and a side of hot peppers. Now, you may ask why all this food if you came for pizza? First of all, I shared with 2 others (except the cheesesteak which I gobbled up myself). Second of all, I only wanted a slice or two of the pizza, which does remind me of a cracker with cheese, but yet every bite is very addicting…its old school and they have great tap beer as well as barrelled root beer. They even have Green River. Check it out. Its a must try.

This is a classic old time pizza place. It's always busy but to our delight, there wasn't a wait because of their system. You go get in line to order your pizza, then get in line to order and get your beverages. Then go sit at an open table. Then wait for your number to be called when your pizza is ready. This place has been around for 40+ years and the pizza is AMAZING!! The crust, chef's kiss. We were in town for 3 nights and ate here twice! You can order take-out but I think you either have to call or go in. Oh and, they have Green River soda.

A counter service pizza place with sandwiches and a full bar. Delicious thin crust pizza. The restaurant has lots of seating in an ambiance from yesteryear.

Barnaby’s Pizza is a classic, old-school restaurant where you order upfront and then pick up your food at the counter. We started with some appetizers, nachos, and fries, which were decent but not outstanding. However, the pizza was exceptional! We opted for a make-your-own veggie pizza, and it was delicious. A tip: try their house ranch with the pizza—it's so, so good! Overall, Barnaby’s Pizza is a great spot for a casual dining experience with fantastic pizza.

**update 02-28-24** Came back to grab more delicious pizza and baked pasta. Have had the pizza from here and we love it this time we ordered the 21 golden brown shrimp basket and it was delicious. The shrimp tasted fresh and the fries were well done just like I asked for. If you have time you should stop by and taste all the great food they offer.

The worst pizza I have ever had. I would honestly rather dominos. Pizza looked as well as tasted burnt. Won’t be returning. I’ve even called them 6 times, and they didn’t answer. I don’t live in the area. I’m from the south side of Chicago. That’s not a quick trip. Why should I have gotten home to realize that my pizza is burnt? Why serve a pizza that you know isn’t in good condition? I can’t help but to think I was sabotaged because of the color of my skin. I’ve noticed how the people who were dining in, had a very different quality of pizza than I did. Theirs appeared to be lighter than mine. I am extremely disappointed, since the reviews were high for this place. This is why I had to leave a picture because this needed to be seen.

We went today around 4:30 to pick up our take out order. Do note that you do need to call to place an order and that they do not have an online ordering system. Their cracker crust is delicious. It is nice and crisp if you like a crispy thin pizza crust. The wings came with sauce on the side which is perfect for if you want it to stay crispy (I do!). We also got a side of fries and it came super loaded for only $2.25! Their prices are very fair and affordable compared to other spots. They are pretty busy so usually we get take out rather than dine in. the ambiance is really cute and nice as a simple pizza spot. they also have a bar area. If you are dining in be prepared to wait or come early to get seats! Overall the experiebce is great!

We came at 9 pm on a Saturday night. Even though they close at 10 pm, the crew was cleaning the kitchen and dining room aggressively; on a summer Saturday! And of note there were large buckets scattered around the dining room where rain was dripping through the roof. It splattered on my arm as I went to pick up my pasta from the counter and who knows whether it was flavoring the ingredients in the back. Though the guy at the cash register was counting the cash drawer, he pleasantly took our order for the Baked Mostacolli and a small mushroom pizza. Service was fine because the restaurant was nearly empty. However unless you're a person who likes the sound of clinking coins, rumbling dishes and mops I wouldn't come here within 90 minutes of closing time. The smell of bleach and cleaning chemicals added to the uncomfortable experience. I remember the food distinctly from the last time I came here, pre-Covid pandemic, and how much I liked the pizza crust in spite of everything else being an old beat up mess. This time everything sucked! Clearly they have cheapened the ingredients. The pizza crust was bland, the tomato sauce bitter and the cheese similarly salty and lacking flavor on the pie. The mostacolli tasted like the pasta came out of a box and I swear the bolognese came from Chef Boyardee. I remember the taste of spaghetti-o's from nursery school and this was it! Indeed, they make better italian food in the local elementary school cafeteria. All in all the entire visit was disappointing and I expect later tonight that the food will be incompatible with my digestive tract. I will be taking Pepto-Bismol and Tums in an attempt to ward off the impending doom. Wish me luck, I will need it!

My friends and I stopped here when we were in town for curling (the curling club is right around the corner!). I'm so glad we picked this place for lunch! What a vibe! The decor looks like it hasn't been changed in over 40 years, and it was such a fun throwback! Dark wood benches, terracotta colored tiles and back splashes, dark paneling and ceiling... even the bathrooms fit the aesthetic! It's a sit down restaurant, but you do order your food and drinks at a counter (bar and food are separate). So in terms of service, there's not much to expect. Our cashier was friendly enough. The bartender was a bit surly. All of which totally seemed to fit. Food was decent. About as good as expected. A step above fast food or a standard chain. Definitely a home-town feet. I ordered the cheesesteak and it was ok. Not overwhelmingly large, decent cuts of meat, and good pepper/onion to meat ratio. The fries were pretty basic. If I attend another event in town I would eat here again. I'd probably try something different on the menu though. Just based on the experience I would imagine the burger or fish and chips are really good.

The food is always usually decent. This time we ordered some sides/apps, a sandwich and a large sausage pizza. The apps come out first. They were good but I noticed they were a bit more brown than normal from the deep fry. When another table got theirs it was definitely less browned and looked better than the over fry we got. Busy for a weekend evening as always but there was space available at the tables.

What can I say here that I haven't already said before? I'm a big fan of the thin crispy cornmeal crust at Barnaby's, and judging by the packed parking lot and the constant stream of customers carrying out stacks of boxes, many of you are too. I even saw a firefighter carrying out about 10 pizzas. (Isn't it a known fact that the Fire Dept knows food?) Food - check Service - today's visit pretty quick but it can sometimes take a while Ambience - your neighbor's basement from the 1970s I didn't take many photos because we pretty much order the same thing. But this photo shows our delicious thin crust half sausage and pepperoni with the tangy tomatoey sauce and the crisp cornmeal crust.

Another delicious pizza experience at Barnaby's Northbrook which has maintaining its consistently cracker thin pizza down to a science. Their corn meal, thumb-pressed crunchy crust is addictive. I personally think it's the best thin in Chicago and I've eaten at a lot of places over the years here. My teen kids love the atmosphere with the cooks yelling food order pickups into the overhead speakers every 30 seconds on a super busy Friday night. Good times for sure.

Amazing food. Great staff and always busy! I appreciated the tips that told me to walk in and take a seat then order pizza and drinks in separate lines. I looked like a pro when I walked in. The lights were dim; great environment for a first date or family time.

I have been going to Barnaby's since they opened in Northbrook and in fact worked there when I was in High School. I don't think they have changed a thing, not even the wallpaper in the bathroom. It doesn't matter though, it adds to the memories. Still the absolutely best thin pizza anywhere.

Absolutely best thin crust pizza in Illinois. Food prices are equivalent to ten years ago. Great beer/soda prices and choices. Perfect spot for kids or a group dinner

Went to Barnaby's for the first time and it was pretty solid. The food was solid overall. For 7 people, we ordered 3 large pizzas, nachos, and onion rings and it was the perfect amount of food. The nachos were good but not spectacular. The onion rings were awesome and very crispy. The three pizzas we did were 1) cheese, 2) pepperoni, 3) jalapeno, onion, mushroom. All were good, but my favorite was the jalapeno onion and mushroom. The pizza uses a corn meal crust and is pretty unique compared to other tavern style pizza in Chicago. The restaurant itself is really cozy and has some character. The one issue I had was there is no wait staff for a sit down restaurant. You have to order your food at one counter and your drinks at the bar. Appetizers were ready at the order counter, pizza came out of a separate little window and you have to walk your drinks to your table yourself which was inconvenient because we ordered 2 pitchers of beer, 1 pitcher of coke, and one pitcher of water. We also had to keep going up to the counter after for random things you would assume would be put on every table (plates, utensils, crushed pepper). They did have one worker cleaning tables as people got up so people sitting down would have a clean table. Good dinner overall. Will definitely go back.

First time trying pizza here and I have to say I was satisfied! Came with my family and there were 8 of us. The concept is self serve. You find your own seating, order at the register, and pick up your own order. You order food in one spot and all drinks come from the bar. With a larger family, we got lucky a big party was just leaving when we arrived otherwise it would have been a pain trying to find seating as the place is crowded and not much standing space. So it would be nice if you at least had someone in front that's a hostess who seats people even if everything else is self serve. The other way they can make this concept better is to have online ordering vs waiting in line to order. Would save time, space, and even reduce the need for someone at the register. The pizza here is a thin pizza with a crispy zig zag crust. I've never seen a crust like this and it was perfect with the thin pizza. Tastes almost like a pie crust! We got a pie with just cheese, pepperoni, and one with jalapeños + onions + mushroom. They were all very good and cooked just right to be soft and crunchy. Only thing I did wish was that they had put more toppings on the veggie pizza since you pay almost $2 per topping and I barely had any jalapeños. We also got onion rings and nachos. The nachos could have been much better..... needed more cheese and toppings. Onion rings were very delicious, but should come with a marinara or ranch sauce not just ketchup. Each table should also just have a little basket thing in the middle with cutlery, napkins and the shakers like Parmesan cheese & crushed red pepper. Makes no sense to keep going to the bar to grab this stuff. Overall, 4 stars because the food was good but the set up can be improved.

Good, classic pizza place. We dined in, so we experienced the very classic interior, and the very old school way of ordering and picking up your food. The pizza has a classic and unique wavy crust. It is interesting, and keeps the undercarriage in good shape. The toppings were fresh and there was an adequate amount of them. We also ordered wings. They are very breaded and crunchy, and we enjoyed them. This place does NOT have free refills . It is weird, because they served our 3 Diet Cokes in a pitcher (from a soda gun) which we had to walk over to the bar area to pick up. Seems strange because nearly every other sit down establishment has free refills for dine in guests. In any case, the food was good. The ambience was very classic. The service was self-serve. It was not bad, but I would not rush to come back. If you are ever in Northbrook, and have a craving for a very classic pizza type restaurant, try it out.

I have been up and down with this BARNABY'S location for the past year or so. First complaint pertained to a big slump in the quantity and quality of the pizza ingredients plus very spotty preparation. WELL - - - we didn't return for a few months but decided to give them a try again. Our last visit, a few weeks ago was outstanding. Back to the all-around quality that we remember them for. So today the wife had a taste for their pizza. When I picked up the pizza it looked the same as our previous visit. I was momentarily thrilled, until I sat down with our first piece. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?? The entire taste of the pizza was different and not pleasing. (to our tastes). After a bit of examination, we discovered that one of the prime ingredients was missing. After bringing the problem to the attention of the manager, he agreed that they made an error, and apologized. I asked "Is that all you're going to do about it. I didn't really get a satisfactory reply. I unhappily went back to our table. Then he came out with a discount coupon for another pizza. MALNATIS would have made us another pizza to take home plus discounting our bill. Anyhow, I guess I have to forgive them for the screw-up. Seems to be happening at a number of restaurants these days. BUT THAT WASN'T THE WORST PART!! After sitting at our table for 15 minutes or so, we were paid a visit by our usual friendly "fruit fly". There is always one flying around the place. After shooing him away, I happened to turn my head and discovered a napkin that I had wiped my hands on, was literally infested with fruit flies. At least 15 or 20 crawling around. Then I discovered that two had crawled into my beer glass. Furthermore, after a general glance around, discovered a whole swarm of the creatures flying around the area. THAT WAS IT! We grabbed our belongings and left. It definitely looks like this restaurant has a real problem that the HEALTH DEPARTMENT SHOUD BE MADE AWARE OF. I have to wonder how many of these creatures are crawling around the food preparation areas and getting into the food. After this experience, I doubt if we will be going back any time soon. A shame. We are 25-year customers! AXPERT

The pizza is definitely different than most pizza joints so you need to try Barnaby's. We've had this pizza several times. Everyone remarked they've never had this type of pizza before. One of my colleagues craves it. The crust is ridged and crunchy so for those that don't like crust this is probably accept for y'all. The pizza is thin and I think I have to eat most of the large pizza to get full if that was all that I was having. I usually don't get thin crust so maybe that's expected? Wish they had an extra large size since the Large only feeds three adults (but was fine for the four kiddies that ate it on takeaway this time around). I even snuck a corner or two from. The pizza while they were not watching. I liked the sausage, it was savory but not spicy. I wouldn't mind ordering again since it's a quality pizza, just not my favorite type.

Scott T.

Yelp
Confusing spot. In a good way though. You look at this pizza crust and think "i'm eating apple pie" now think back to totino's supreme pizza college days.... This is that but on steroids. Flavor is rock solid, ambiance is more like a 1970's Chuck E. Cheese. No servers, you order pizza on the right side of the restaurant, drinks to the left at the bar (no bar seats)

I reached out to owner to try to get resolved and they talked over me the entire time in a very rude fashion. They did not take a single second to objectively listen to my point of view as a customer. I will never be providing business to this location again. This place does not care about customers. I was given multiple attitudes over a very minor issue that shouldn't have been an issue. After eating at the location around 30-50 times last Monday will be my last.

I have been eating at Barnaby's in Northbrook for close to 50 years. Their pizza is a favorite of mine. Hot or reheated the next day. It's delicious. Great burgers, mostaccioli, French onion soup. The best rootbeer on tap at the bar. Love the guys and gals that work there. Great atmosphere at Barnaby's.

Selma L.

Nice family friendly atmosphere. My (almost) two year old loves it here and the pizza. Thin, crispy, nice cheese to sauce ratio. Ample toppings. Not super expensive either for a large pizza that we shared. Everyone was super nice to us and our child

Taylor C.

Best pizza in Illinois if you like thin crust. Service is good . You seat yourself and order at the front so there's not a ton of interaction with staff. Ambiance has an old classic feel. If you're in the area I definitely recommending stopping by!

Olivia A.

Yelp
Barnaby's is a very old school pizza restaurant but the food is delicious. We got the garlic bread and a large sausage pizza. The pizza is so unique and the crust tastes sort of like pie crust in the best way. While there aren't waiters, there are bussers who come around to clean your table frequently. The staff is super nice and I would definitely come back here.

Great family restaurant Come as you are - no judgment. Eat as much or as little as you want - the place has counter service which means you order at the front and pick up the food when they call your number Everyone there is so friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. All of the staff work hard to make sure everything is right! So many choices ranging from burgers to spaghetti to fish and chips to pizza and so much more People bring their children and their grandparents here. Everyone is welcome! Been coming here forever. Hope they stay here forever!

Super delicious food and great ambience. Lovely old style, pizzas I don't agree that they are the best of Chicago, but they are very very tasty. The service is good except that the drinks you need to stand up and go buy them one by one. Overall a very nice little neighborhood joint.

Yelp
So good! The pizza is hands down delicious and the chicken wings even better. We went as a young family and I will say the logistics are a little hectic. One of us had to stay with the baby while the other went to order and the get up and got atmosphere undoubtably made the toddler believe it was McDonalds. All of that aside the food was good, it was fast and the I'll be dreaming of the chicken wings and draft cherry soda for many days to come. A must try in the north shore

Timothy B.

Yelp
Great pizza, great service, you can tell they have pride in the look of their pizza. The crust is perfect and beautiful. Place can be busy so don't be in a hurry. It is worth the wait and way better than other Barnaby's locations I have tried.

Hilary B.

Yelp
So everyone loves Barnaby's right? Well not quite everyone. So here is a breakdown. The pizza is good. Pricey for its size. But you get a consistent pie with the great crust and it's a guaranteed instant gratification the moment you shove that greasy, oregano flavored, crispy yumminess in your face. If you plan on dining there it is a bit complicated for those with kids or groups of kids from sporting teams. Just forget B day parties. If you're pregnant stay the heck out because you will just be stuck in a corner. Lol. Ordering pizza is separate from where you get the drinks at the "makeshift" bar area. Finding a table is a bit annoying. It's crowded and you may find a table but it may have other people dishes still on it. The place is basically a first come first serve for families. If you want the best experience do carry out. You get solid pizza and you just go in and pick it up. No long process of staking out your eating spot. Parking lot is small but somehow folks make it work. I deducted a star because of the chaos of dining in and the fact that most menu items are just fried items covered in cheese and marinara or a mediocre beef. The pizza IS GOOD. Get it carry out. Order a lot cuz it's addictive and there is never enough. You should miss most of the annoyances that are in the dim lit "Gaston like" tavern looking dining room and then you should just be able to enjoy the pizza they are known for where ever you would like to. Anywhere but there. Ha. Ha.

Excellent Dinner. I had the large sausage pie, perfect, good solid crunch, nice even bake on the cheese, crust was buttery and full flavored. Sauce was not too sweet and not bland either, good gravy overall. Service great as always, just a nice homey, warm throwback space and experience. This is like eating pizza at home, nice

Jim K.

Yelp
Great italian beef, juicy, with fries, pickles, ketchup, coleslaw. Small salad, wine and cokes. They do pizza great here, cornmeal bottom, elevated edges, tasty. Purchase pizza and sandwiches separate from drinks, large glass of wine, smaller than before glass of Coke. A great family spot to grab a inexpensive meal

Rick M.

Yelp
Great tavern style pizza. You don't go there for the environment you go there for the food and they have a good selection of beers. I love the French onion soup there. They make it easy to carry out all at all if you're hungry and you want a nice meal you go to Barnaby's

Aditi S.

Yelp
Best thin crust pizza I've had! Nice casual spot with a seat & serve yourself set up. I took my family here over the weekend for some pizza and Barnaby's did not disappoint. We ordered 2 thin crust pizzas with jalapeños, bell peppers, and onions on one and green olives, spinach, and garlic on the other. Although it took a while, eating these pizzas fresh was worth the wait. They even remade a pizza for us after making the wrong one. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here and still had some leftovers. The best part is that the thin crust slices reheat well in the air fryer the next day!

I enjoyed this go to the counter service place. The pizza was cooked very well and was pretty good . I am no a fan of high cornmeal crusts that actually get a bit crunch, but this is what it is and I enjoyed our lunch. The interior is much like it was years ago but up to date and very clean.

Sharon R.

The pizza is the best. Been coming here for 40 years. Lived down the street and now drive in from Wheaton to get par baked pizza to bring home. You have to try their pizza.

We had the fried zucchini it was pretty good the ranch was SOOOOO good it made me dance. The drinks are not included and it's 1.50 for a NON alcoholic drink. My cherry coke taste a little off... but the service is some what good there's a pretty long wait so far but it's worth it, The ambiance is so pretty. The food came and i am STUFFED but i saw a fly and lost my appetite.

Since I always eat Chicago style deep dish pizza's, we Yelped and found a different kind of a pizza place in Northbrook. We ordered the following to-go: Large Cheese pizza Large Jalapeno, green pepper, mushroom pizza Steak sandwich with fries. Total with taxes was $43.73. Cheese pizza was alright. Ian did not complain much but his preference would have been white sauce instead of red sauce. The small cuts on the pizza were a nice touch. You can hold smaller pizza slices in your hand while you are dining. Jalapeno, green pepper and mushroom pizza was good. Steak sandwich was amazing! We asked for steak well done. Top marks for this sandwich. Restaurant is tucked away at the corner of Sunset Ridge Rd. and Skokie Blvd. It has its own private parking lot. There is abundant seating inside. It was popping Friday night we were there to pickup our carry out order.

Souk S.

Yelp
Old school pizza/bar that had ample seating for large groups. Ordering process is a bit different - where you have slips to check what you want and then they make it for you so no servers but they do have staff to clear tables. Pizza itself was thin crust but the crust was like a tart. A little firm tasting and different, didn't really like it. Pasta was large and came with garlic bread that was good. Tons of sauce but not enough noodles. Unique and different but didn't meet our expectations.

Kseniya L.

Food was not worth it. Pizza was not good. Service was fine I did pick up/carry out. Ambience was dark, but that's the theme.

Carl L.

Yelp
I love to order ahead so food will be ready by the time we arrive. Pizza is always our go to, love the crust! I'd skip the hamburger, fish & chips, and french onion soup. Wings are worth the try (sauce automatically comes on the side). Quick place, enjoy the ambiance!

Ellen C.

Yelp
We ordered thin crust pizza to go (1 L cheese, and 1 L sausage & green pepper), and was pleasantly surprised by: 1) Although they open at 11am, someone picked up at the store at 10am to take my order, so that the pizza would be ready for 11am - they even offered to have it ready sooner!, and 2) the thin crust pizza did not disappoint! The ridgy crusts can get a bit hard to bite into/chew but other than that the crust itself had a good crunch, the sauce had good flavor, it was definitely one of the better thin crusts I've had lately!

Ray W.

Yelp
Never was here before. I walk in, looks kind of fancy, in a retro kinda way. Dark wooden booths with vinyl tablecloths. No hostess stand, no hostess. I stand waiting for a few minutes and a fellow customer (already seated) informs me that I can sit anywhere. I sit down, check out the menu, wait for a waitress. No waitress. One of the cooks notices me sitting there and shouts that I need to go to the cashier and place my order first. The cashier is at the back wall, just to the right of where the cooks are. I place my order (a $10 sandwich that included fries and coleslaw), but then they send me to the bar (on the back wall to the left of where the cooks are) to order my drink. I gave the cashier a 15% tip, thinking that they'd at least be bringing me my food. I gave the bartender an extra buck tip for my $1.50 Coke. I go back and sit down and start drinking my Coke. It sucks really bad, like the kind that squirts out of a nozzle at old Moose lodges. I'm like "why the hell did I tip for this?" Food isn't brought to me, instead they call my number (given to me by the cashier when I paid). I'm like "why the hell did I tip for this?" Food was okay though, but this is more like a hotdog/pizza joint that looks fancy but really isn't. All in all, prices are cheaper than real hotdog/pizza joints that look like hotdog/pizza joints, so even with the tip (that I never would have left at a hotdog/pizza joint), it comes out about the same. If I'd've skipped the Coke and the tips, would have felt like I made out like a bandit. Italian Beef Sandwich was no Johnnie's (not even a Rosati's), but came loaded with sweet peppers (I had a choice, sweet or hot), fries, coleslaw, and pickles. Don't know another place where I can get all that for 10 bucks.

Ordered a bunch of food for a party. This was the first time eating this pizza for most of the guests and they seemed to like it. I went with a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it was just eh. Just didn't taste fresh. Not sure if it was the bread or meat. Left a little bit of a weird aftertaste. The fries it came with were nice and crispy without being too hard. Just an fyi regarding salads, A couple come with chicken and if you order w/o the chicken it still costs the same price.

Great food! Kinda chaotic but that makes it more fun! The pizza crust is crunchy and buttery and I love their fried mushrooms!

Did a carryout order for Mother's Day. They did a nice job. I am used to dining in during lunch, but the carryout was just as good - just not as hot. I had asked for my order at a certain time. When I got there 15 minutes early my pizzas were pulled from a warming box. I know they can't time it precisely, but had I come at the agreed to time, my pizzas would have been sitting around for at least 15 minutes if not longer. They did heart shape crusts for Mother's Day which was a nice touch. Overall, the pizza was, and has always been really good. Next time I will dine in.

I always have a great experience at Barnabys! Don't let the parking lot fool you- it may look crowded but there will most likely be a table! I recommended ordering some pizzas and a few apps, and you definitely can't skip the rootbeer!! You can get a pitcher of rootbeer for $6! It's a steal. The pizza is paper thin and crispy with a perfect crimped crust. Since you order at the counter it's relatively fast service! Inside it's cozy, warm, and a perfect spot for a suburb dinner out.

This is a busy business ! First come first serve. Very nice table settings . Booths available also ! They do reserve for bigger groups ! Pizza is good crunchy crust . Ingredients are fresh ! Two sizes of pizza small or large. There are also sandwiches and other items on the menu! Will try a sandwich at some point. You order meal and pay get a number and wait for your order. The beverages are at another counter bar setting! Tasted and warm! Take out available also. Thumbs Up!

Dropped in mid day on a Sunday. Pretty quiet but a brisk takeout business. We ordered a small pepperoni and sausage pizza and onions garlic. The pizza is a thin crust. The cornmeal gave it a nice crunch. We liked it a lot. The sausage was outstanding. I had a glass of Chardonnay house. A huge poor. I love this place.

I just left and am never going back. This place was recommended by many north shore folk and I have no clue why. The crust was hard. The cheese and sauce were tasteless. Maybe it was an off night, but maybe the quality of pizza has gone down tremendously. Maybe north shore folk just don't know any better because this is what they grew up with? I would rank any other thin crust pizzeria above this. In fact, I'd rather have fast food pizza (e.g., Blaze) before going back here. The pizza was just flat out bad tonight. Service was acceptable and ambiance was nothing to write home about. I truly believe you should eat every meal like it's your last and this is one meal that needs to be scratched out of my memory. A Dominos delivery car just passed me on the way home... maybe a sign!

Great first experience. The business is clean, food was ready quick and everything was delicious. We had a chicken Caesar salad and large pizza with sausage and green pepper. The crust and sauce are fantastic and the chicken on the salad was flavorful. Would definitely come here again for both! Lot was packed with cars but several tables available... Don't be scared off with that!

I mean how can you not like Barnaby's. The awesome atmosphere that hasn't changed changed in 50 years, great pizza and fast.
