Dan's Pizza

Terrific pizza made with fresh ingredients. My girlfirend and I recently moved from City to Western suburbs. We were searching for a solid pie with no luck until we found Dan's. This place is delicious and has fresh ingredients. This will be our go-to spot moving forward. Both the thin and crispy and the gluten free crust are delicious.

🍕⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands-down the best pizza in Downers Grove. If you like thin crust tavern style pizza, this is the place. And now that they have online ordering (Woot!!) it's even easier to order the most delicious pizza in both the Chicago suburbs and Chicago proper. My family cannot get enough of Dan's Pizza!

Dan’s Pizza is incredible. The crust, the sauce, the cheese — everything is spot on every single time. You can tell they take pride in what they make. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the quality is consistently top-tier. Easily one of the best pizza spots around. Five stars.

Classic tavern style pizza. Each piece is a little square of joy. I love that they offer free delivery to Alter Brewing, the nearby brewery. Never been disappointed with a Dan's pizza.

I never get a chance to take a picture before the pizzas get dug into. Pizza was phenomenal. One of the better weve had in the area. Not too greasy. Just enough well done. Perfectly cut. Will definitely be coming back.

Called in for a 14” thin crust, tomato and black olives. It was ready in twenty minutes! The guy at the counter was very nice. Awesome thin crust pizza, I will be returning. Edit: having returned after some time has passed… pizza is 4/5 stars thin crust. Nearly perfect but some parts are doughy and pizza could’ve been cooked longer. I ordered near closing time so that might be my fault. New photos show mushroom/black olive. There was obvious dried oregano and other spices added on top. Service is 5/5.

Got it for the first time last night n they deliver to alter brewing so that’s a huge bonus. Got my pizzas extra thin well done n they nailed the style forsure. Will be back. Cheers 🤙

The crust has no flavor. It's like a holy communion wafer. Everything else was good. The buffalo chicken pizza was good. The regulars sauce was good. But it's held back by the weak crust.

We ordered delivery at Alter Brewery and it was a great call. Alter has good beer and Dans great pizza, the combo is perfect. Other than the hi decibel golf bros surrounding us it was a very good experience. They eventually mostly left and ordered a huge number of Dominos pizzas which was their loss. They have a nice covers patio with that night "live music" (I'll be kind). You can't do much about 90 degree heat and 90% humidity but that's not their fault it Illinois in the summertime. Sausage and Peperoni pizza along with Barbecue bacon onion and sausage pizza was thin crisp and delicious. Highly recommended where ever you choose to eat it.

Dan's Pizza is the definition of a busy neighborhood classic--always people in and out, which is a good sign that locals love it. It's a quick pick-up spot, nothing fancy, but exactly what you want when you're craving pizza! The staff were super welcoming, especially since it was our first time, and they made the experience feel personal! We went with a large pepperoni & jalapeño pizza. Flavor-wise, the sauce and cheese ratio was spot-on--tangy, cheesy, and really well balanced. The crust was the real star, perfectly crispy in the middle (which is rare to find and made every bite even better). If I had to nitpick, there were a ton of jalapeños but not quite enough pepperoni to balance it out. Still, the overall taste carried the pie, and it was definitely satisfying. All in all, a solid pizza joint with great service, and I'd for sure go back to try more of the menu!

Dans is a locally owned pizza place that specializes in thin crust pizza. When in the area I stop in for my fix. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

Another local favorite pizza joint in my area which I had to try. This place makes cracker thin crust pizza. The toppings were fresh and sliced nice and thin. We ordered for takeout and the pizza held up surprisingly well. I can't say I loved it, but I would try it again with maybe less toppings.

Best pizza in the entire area. Not even exaggerating. Everything about it is fantastic

My new favorite pizza in Naperville. True, tavern style like I remember from childhood. Generous ingredients, perfect sauce/amount and thin crust. Many closer places, but this pizza is the best. Try it for yourself.

I am very impressed with the pizzas here. My son and I ordered a sausage with jalapeno on one side. Extra crispy and extra thin crust and it was very good. We also ordered a beef and banana peppers regular crust extra crispy. It too was solid. The only issue, we ordered them both pie cut and only one was. It tarnishes the experience a bit. We even called to confirm pie cut. We will go back but probably pick up so we can check them. If the pizza wasn't as tasty I'd give this a three star review. Pie cut is the way!

I'm not a thin crust kinda girl, but Dan's changed my mind on that! Very delicious sauce & sausage. The kids loved the plain cheese pizza! It will be our go too from now on.

Nothing to complain about, but nothing to recommend - just your average Chicago thin crust pizza.

Pizza was much better than I thought it would be. Normally I don't buy a double decker but I tried one here. It was fantastic!! Get extra sauce. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing sausage pizza!!! 10/10 comparable to rosati's pizza. So good and they are super fast too

3.5 decent and lotta food but went a ways on a lot of build up and good but not a must repeat given distance.

Overall, I would give this place a 4.5. Plenty of parking. Takeout or delivery only. Service was good. Employees are very friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable and moderate. I got a 12" small bbq special with mushrooms and garlic crust added. Pizza was fresh and hot when I received it. There were tons of toppings. I would have liked to see more garlic in the crust when I bite into it. Garlic flavor/smell was a little difficult to detect. Other than that, I really enjoyed the crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and the bbq sauce wasn't too overpowering.

Based on a neighbor's recommendation, we tried Dan's Pizza last night. We did pick up (using a $3 off coupon in the local flyers) and got a large sausage and garlic thin crust. It was hot when we picked it up and stayed hot for our drive home (yeah!). We could smell the garlic in the car and loved it! Pizza - wise, we thought it was really great. Nice garlic and sausage flavor - love the crust. A tad more greasy than what I had hoped, but I dabbed some off with a napkin. We would order from here again!

Hands down best thin crust in the Lisle/DG/Woodridge area. Real high quality Chicago Tavern pizza. You can tell a quality pizza place by its ingredients. Dan's are fresh and sliced. The mushrooms are real, not canned. You can tell they don't buy prepackaged ingredients and it shows. Crust is perfect. Cook is perfect. This IS pizza. One time I got a burnt pizza from Dan's. (One mess up out of probably 100 orders

I have been a Dan's Pizza loyalist since I was a child. They never disappoint! Portions are excellent, the service is fast and friendly, and the store has a very warm atmosphere. I have fond memories of playing the Pacman machine waiting for my pizza. The best in Downers Grove!

Just got their family size thin cheese pizza- Really really good and reasonably priced. If you're a cheese pizza person this place should be on your list. Will definitely order again.

Excellent service there was a misunderstanding with a order and Ryan was on top of it, great tasting food & great people not your normal pie

A solid Pizza, Dan's is always on the rotation, great service and easy pickup and rarely disappoints solid all around

The pizza had good flavor. Had it delivered. The middle was soggy. I heard it was a thin cracker crust but it was definitely not crisp.

Best in the area for classic Chicago tavern style pizza. Love the sauce and cracker thin crust! Fave pizza is the BBQ -they use sausage instead of chicken and it's so good! Add giardinera if you like spicy! -30 year customer + fan.

I'm so glad to find another pizza place I like in the area! They are also reasonably priced! Friendly and quick service. I tried a pepperoni double decker pizza, it's definitely unique. It's almost like two thin crust pizzas stacked with a thick crust (yet not like this at all). It molds really nicely together and I really like the dough. I would definitely get this again! I don't know if I need pepperoni on both layers though so I think I'll say "light pepperoni" next time. We also had a thin crust sausage pizza. They really do not skimp on the toppings. I tend to like less toppings so I will just ask for less next time. Overall, I like the uniqueness and great tasting food!

Best pizza around!! Dan's Pizza is consistently so good. Have tried other places but always come back. Great crust, sauce, everything. Their double decker pizza is amazing.

Dans is by far the best take out pizza in downers grove! Been going there for years and even though the original owner isn't there anymore the new owner kept the same standards and quality as the original. If you're in the area definitely pick up a pizza. There's no where to sit and it it so be prepared to wait till you get home to tear open the pizza bag!

Dans is the best pizza around. Its carryout only, but that works great for me. Pizza is always pipping hot and fresh!!

Good pizza. Had the thin crust, it was crispy and flavorful. Really enjoyed the sausage.

Simple and creative menu. Consistent food quality and friendly service Price competitive

Friendly people, excellent service (they brought the pizza to my car), and GREAT pizza!

Moved to the Downers Grove area pretty recently, hasn't found a pizza place I've really liked yet. We got a new neighbor coupon from this place and decided to check it out. Very, very solid tavern style pizza. Thin crust crust, nice sauce and just the right amount of greasiness. The green peppers tasted very fresh on there, probably my favorite peppers on any pizza in Chicago. Folks were great there, kids working up front were super apologetic about the pizza not being ready when I got there, even though I showed up a few minutes early, the manager/owner was very welcoming and nice and was teaching the kids about customer service. Just a great place, if you're in the area this is is fantastic takeout place.

Have been getting my pizza from there for years. Great sauce, great flavor and just a darn good pizza. Have had a glich or two in those years but always was corrected and I was made good.

This is a carry out only facility. They picked up the phone and the order was placed without hassles. 20-minutes later we had a large sausage/mushroom pizza for a little over $20. Cut into squares, not slices. My favorite! The sauce has a nice flavor. Cheese has a nice consistency with the classic "lightly browned" over the traditional chunk sausage "balls". The crust was thin crust. All and all this was a nice pizza for the price. I would like management to switch to boxes rather than the old school Pizza Hut "bags" they are using. One the way home, the bag sagged down onto the pizza, as they always do and we lost part of the pizza to the bag. Truly a waste of good pizza.

I work for big company and was trying to order a few pizzas for my employees to just get told that would be inconvenient for them to deliver to a safe parking lot. Then I said ok not a problem can be delivered to main building site and they just hung up on me not ok and would not recommend. Very RUDE 10/10 to not recommend.

Delicious! Classic Chicagoland pizza - exactly what I was looking for! These greasy little pepperoni squares were addictive. Whatever seasoning is on top is pure GOLD. Highly recommend. Unless you're on a diet. It's impossible to eat "just one slice"

I've only had the slices of pizza. The slices tasted good and were FRESH. That's key because often times places reheat there slices. So a slice doesn't do there actual pizza justice. With that being said if there actual pizzas taste better than there slices we might be on to something lol. The crust is thin but neither overly doughy or crunchy. They claim to be related to pappas pizza in woodridge and they have the same recipe. I disagree i can taste the difference and i prefer Dan's.

We ordered pizza to take to nearby Alter Brewing for a nice "beer and pizza" outing. We ventured down to Dans from Bloomingdale because they participated in the "Chicago pizza March madness bracket" this year. They don't have a restaurant, just a tiny busy storefront pumping out the pies. Thin crust with sausage, mushroom, green pepper, and onion was delish. I judge my thin pizzas by the crust and the sauce, this one was very good on both accounts. Would I drive down to a carry out pizza place again? Probably not, but combined with Alter craft brewery to eat-in, yes if I'm meeting people from down that way.

It took me too long to have this in my life! I'm so glad I found Dans pizza. They have such a good crust, the sauce has a nice flavor, and the toppings cook up just right. Personally I love that they have green olives ;) The baby pizzas are perfect if you have a few different picky eaters and their gluten free crust is delicious as well (crunch and chewy and not completely dry). Tip: on Fridays and Saturdays call early as they get busy and you might have to wait longer for what is a truly delicious pizza.

In the heart of Downers Grove is Dan's Pizza, a carry out pizza joint in a strip mall, shared by a place that think they know a thing or two about philly cheesesteaks. Nonetheless, Dan's Pizza, is as illustrated in my 3 stars above: A-OK.

Outstanding pizza. Every time. Thin crispy crust. Proper amount of tasty sauce. Fresh toppings. Highly recommend!

Best Chicago-style cracker thin crust we've had since moving to the suburbs. Nearly a weekly staple at our house. Wish they had online ordering, but it's good enough that I'll actually talk to another human being and even try multiple times when I get a busy signal.

Great local spot, best pizza in the western suburbs. You can tell they really take pride in their pies here. Family has been ordering here for a decade+. I gotta get Dan's whenever I'm in town. I order well done, which they always honor, but their regular bake is very good too. Crunchy thin crust in the south side, cracker crust tradition. Tavern/party cut, always. Genuinely as good as like Vito & Nick's in my humble opinion. Pro tip: call earlier than you expect on weekends--they get so many orders that 90+ minute wait times for pickup are commonplace. Trust me, this is because they have to churn out SO MANY pies, not because they're slacking. It's really the greatest compliment. Wait times are more similar to other joints at 20-30 minutes on weeknights

The best pizza around! You've got to try the double decker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to love this place given all the rave reviews. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy their pizza. I arrived on time to pick it up. But, they were busy and no one even acknowleged me for about 20 minutes. And, they put the large pizza in a bag. So, it was difficult to get home and was not even warm when I opened the bag. Also, there was something offputting in the flavor. I think they use fennel in the sauce or sausage which was overpowering. Since I could barely find the sausage bits (way too small), I am not sure what was going on there. I also ordered garlic as one of my five toppings. They forgot that ingredient altogether. I think that I hit them on a bad day. But, with ten ppl in the back making pizza, I have no idea why the cashier kept dissappearing even though six or seven of us were standing there waiting to pay & pickup. I only live 6 minutes away. So, if the pizza is totally cold upon arrival, something went wrong or needs fixing. If I ever tried them again, I would definitely ask for a box. It's not fun paying $30 for cold pizza.

Finally tried Dan's after receiving some coupons in the mail that made the pizza look delicious. Small place with a limited menu but the pizza was amazing. We ordered a large sausage thin crust and it was the best we've had in the area.

Ordered pizza on a Friday night for take out. They do not have an online ordering option and their prices are fairly high ($48 for two 16" pizzas), but the food was good. They must have been really busy because the wait was 75 min for an order placed at 8 pm. Their sausage had decent flavor, not the best, but definitely not the worst. Not a ton of grease on the pizza. Crust was semi crunchy and medium thickness. Everyone working had on masks and gloves. All in all, a decent pizza place.

This, is a legend in the making. My mother, used to work at 'Midge's' Beauty Salon, next door to Dan's. In the early 80's. She would come home, 2 or 3 times a week, With Dan's pizza and 3 or 4 Hot Dogs and fries. I recently moved back to Downers Grove. Dan sent me a coupon for a free 2-topping 14" pizza. One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. Maybe it just tastes better when it is free, but It tasted like the 80's, and you cannot mistake it. Dan, that free 1/2 sausage green pepper / 1/2 sausage pepperoni Bought you a lot of business Pam Willis, said so.

I have ordered every pizza in the area, and after 8 years of trying every place that sells pizza, I finally came across Dan's. Man I was late to the party! There is a reason this place has been around almost 40 years- it is great pizza. The crust, sauce and ingredients are appealing to a wide variety of pizza lovers. Customer service is top notch , just to add to their great food. I will be ordering here frequently! There is something to be said about their sausage topping, it is unique, bold and the perfect bite size without being overly pungent in any one spice category. Keep doing what your doing at Dan's, we love it !

Dan's pizza is owned by the brother of the owner of Papa's Pizza and the pizzas are pretty similar. My husband and I love the thin crust. We tried the double decker pizza recently and were not really impressed. We'll stick to the thin crust - so good that there are never any leftovers! I wish they would deliver to parts of Naperville as I live within 4 miles from the DG location.

Comes in a unique package, not cheap, but tastes like it. This place is small, has no seating room, so is take out only. I ordered a number six 12" size, extra sauce, came out to $16. (Was allowed to sub sausage with pepperoni) It was just ok, didn't know it was thin crust only. A good amount of toppings but no distinguishable taste that made it stand out. They get docked stars because of taste vs price. This is a pricey pie, and for a thin crust pizza, the size isn't making up for the cost or lack of flavor. Not interested in returning.

They ain't even playing around with that Italian beef sandwich. Holy sh*t! Huge and daaaaamn good. Dare I say, I think I like it better than Portillo's. This thing is stuffed full of beef and plenty of juice plus ,topped with cheese, this is thing over the top. How anyone can go to Mojos down the way for a cheesesteak when they are on fire with this Italian beef is beyond me. Next time I go I'm going to try the pizza, but based on that beef I can't say anything negative.
