Chicago’s Best Tavern-Style Thin-Crust Pizza Restaurants

"Tucked away in a Gage Park strip mall, this pizzeria has been drawing in patrons for more than 40 years with light, crispy, cracker-thin pies. Owner Rich Jensen makes the dough and fennel sausage fresh and bakes them in a Faulds rotary oven." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

We used to order from their original location all the time, so I had to check out the new spot in Hickory Hills. I was very happy that the pizza was the same great quality I'm used to. I ordered the XL King Arthur and an XL sausage. They were both fresh, hot, and made to order. The owner and his sons were very friendly and extremely accommodating, and for that, I'll definitely be a returning customer. Two thumbs way up. 👍👍

Wow. This place was absolutely amazing ! From the time we walked in to the time we left. My fiancé and I were greeted by Eric the owner. He gave us suggestions since we didn’t have any idea what route we wanted to go. And it was 10/10. We got the spicy cheese balls. Never heard of them before. They were absolutely incredible. And now let’s get to the main part of this review, the pizza. The pizza was incredible! The crust was perfect was super thin. The toppings and cheese were the perfect amount, and the sauce was amazing. They also cooked it a little more than most places. So the top was nice and cooked. I’m so glad we stumbled across this place. Thank you Eric and staff. We WILL be back !

Pizza Castle never disappoints. Great thin crust pizza with fresh ingredients. The owners are wonderful, always welcoming. King Arthur is my favorite. Veggies are always cooked to perfection. Bonus they have the best slices around, which is hard to find.

Really good family people have a great backstory on how he was from Chicago. Just needs to cook the pizza little longer a little bit doughy and I need to put some parchment paper in the boxes so the pizza doesn’t stick to the paper

I grew up in the old neighborhood and yes this is the original. Just in a new location. The taste is still phenomenal. If you want to know what true Chicago Pizza is, go to Pizza Castle. Forget what they say is Chicago style. THIS is where it's at.

After hiking at Swallow Cliff we stopped by Pizza Castle because of the good reviews, the reviews are definitely spot on! We tried their plain cheese and sausage pizza slice combo which came with fries and soda…Everything was delicious. The restaurant is very clean and cozy. Great customer service as well! Definitely coming back if we’re ever in the area.

I learned about tavern style Chicago thin crust on TV and we were traveling near Hickory Hills. I searched for this specific pizza and Pizza Castle was one of the choices on our route, just off the highway. What a treat! Pizza was amazing and so was the Italian Beef dipped with mozzarella and a side of jardiniere (sp?) peppers. The staff was great, Carryout customers picking up their pies, store was clean and neat. We sat outside at patio tables enjoying the evening breeze. Multiple families arrived to eat while we were there. I now know why they’ve been in business 50 years.

THE best pizza in the Southside. Tastes the same as it did when they were in the city. Happy they are in the burbs now with a nice restaurant with beer and wine!

This place is a great addition to Hickory Hills after being in business for 50 years in Chicago. The apps, the Pizza and the pasta are all top notch. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for good pizza.

Meh... About 1/3 of this pizza had no cheese, and it wasn't obvious from a slight distance because they put sauce over the crust to hide it. Part of the reason why there was no cheese is there were several huge crust bubbles that they popped and cheese ran off on to the oven. Also along the edge of the pizza about a third of it at least cheese ran off and stuck to the oven and when they pulled the pizza off the shelf with the peel, the cheese stuck to the shelf and pulled off. To fix it they just covered it up with sauce. The rest if the pizza the cheese was paper thin at best.So I was left with a pizza with less than half cheese on the whole thing.

Delicious!!!!!!!! The pizzas there are next level. They offer slices if you want something quick. There's even a bar. Nice little shop. The staff is friendly.

My significant other has a gluten-free and dairy free diet. They accommodated for the restrictions we ask for the pizza. I would highly recommend them, the staff and management is the most flexible and easy to talk to.

Very good pizza. What I don't like is not being able to advance on the credit-debit card payment prompt unless you give a tip. After informing the cashier the "submit" tab was not working (due to refusing to tip on a to go order), she finally pressed something on her end to finalize the purchase. Requesting a tip on a to go order is enough for me to avoid this establishment. Plenty of good pizza in the surrounding area when craving pizza that won't ask for a tip on a to go order.

They're relatively new to Hickory Hills and I live in the neighborhood. I thought I'd try it and found great pizza less than a mile from home. Nice.

I know it's pizza castle and not wings castle but honestly I feel like royalty eating these wings. If you like wings that are extra crispy then you've come to the right place. A friend had her birthday catered by here and the pizza and wings were so good I had to come in person. They have a small counter if you'd like to eat in, and the staff is super nice. They've been around for a very long time so it's nice to see how invested they've been in the community. Anytime I'm south i always make an excuse to swing by. Next time I'll try my best to get some pizza but no promises bc my loyalty to those wings runs deep.

Was hoping this was the same place as the original in the city and it was! Double bonus they had heart shaped pizzas for Valentine's Day... I ordered half cheese and half with other ingredients and they ended up putting the ingredients on the whole pizza, however they made me a separate cheese at no charge! Great food and service, would definitely recommend!!

My first time visiting the Hickory Hills location. This family has been making pizza for over 50 years, and they have perfected Chicago style thin crust. It's an immaculately clean restaurant with a friendly staff. Ice cold beer on tap and excellent food. Definitely going to be one of my regular stops for pizza.

I am a little angry right now. Let me tell you why. For about a decade, I lived a few blocks away from their old location and never tried them. This place is my new favorite pizza spot because the crust is EXCELLENT. Not too thick or not too thin. It is perfect. It arrived hot and fresh and not very greasy at all. They are now programmed in my phone and I am looking forward to my next pizza

They've still got it. Wow. Stopped in to their new location today and it was incredible. The consistency of their food is there and this new space is legit. They serve beer which is great. The pizza wings and fries were a hit. I can't wait to come back.

Thin crust was outstanding. Perfect ratio cheese sauce to dough. Sauce is barely sweet, just how I like it. . Overall top notch A

Not bad, I had the fried shrimp and I thought it was really good. My family says the pizzas really good from here. I haven't tried it yet though. Looking forward to it. You guys seem to be getting a lot of traffic so I keep up the good work. Just a suggestion if you make your patio feel a little bit more and close you probably get more people sitting out there.

We ordered a sausage pizza at work today and it was delicious!!!! My family always ordered from them when we lived in the Gage Park area. Their pizza is still the best!!!! Everyone who ate it today at work, asked about a menu for home. Customer Service was also unbelievable! We will definitely be ordering from there again.

Pizza castle is just as delicious in the new neighborhood as it was in the old. I'm so glad it's closer to me so I can go there more often! Yummy!

Pizza was undercooked and the dough fell apart when you pick it up. The lasagna was wrapped in a plastic bag for some reason and when I opened it, the container was soaked and the garlic bread was disgusting and wet. I blew $40 on this meal and so mad about it.

Ordered from here a couple of times and the pizza seemed cooked on service but crust was extremely soggy. I called and made that comment to a manager and he claimed they were still getting use to the new ovens. About a week or so later I called on a Monday morning at 11am and someone picked up the phone and hung up without saying anything so I called back and asked the person who answered why they would answer the phone and hang up on customers without even saying Hello pizza castle and he hung up on me again so Palermos I'd like to place an order please. A message to the management at Pizza Castle " my money spends good anywhere "

Never had a baked calzone alway order fried, this place don't do fried but still got one to try.. it was okaythe topping they put on top of the calzone wasn't good to me but it isn't have calzones I'm use to are so someone who enjoys Baked calzones may like it. Onion rings super crispy not one was soggy like some places get after being bagged and go out. The spicy cheese balls was delicious definitely spicy, Buffalo chicken, beef, &cheese burger was also decent.

So far so good. I'm glad the are in the area. All the pizzas have been delicious thus far. Delicious sauce and ingredients! Try 'em all!

1st time here called ahead and asked do they have pizza slices and was told they have cheese, pepperoni and sausage. Come in it's only one cheese left. Why say you have cheese pizza and only have one slice. Didn't even try the pizza turned off by the service already. Hopefully I'll be back to give the actual food a try.

Dave S.

Yelp
The pizza, once was able to order it was delivered hot and fresh. Good flavor and the spicy cheese balls are a definite must order! Only reason they didn't score higher is because the FIRST time I called I was placed on hold for approximately 8-10 minutes. I hang up and called back and was placed on hold another 5 minutes. The explanation, "well, we are busy and nobody else is here".

I grew up on this pizza back in the 70's! This brought back childhood memories! Just like I remembered Delicious! Truly a place to try and go back as often as you can! Service was First Class and Pizza came out Perfect!

Why did they switch the amount of shrimp? Before at the old location they would serve a pound of shrimp in a big tray for a reasonable price. Now at the new location it seems pricer for only 1/2 of shrimp. Wish they didn't change it. Still love their food tho and was a little disappointed in the change about the shrimp basket.

The Pizza is always good, low key spot that deserves more credit, you want real Chicago pizza...this is the spot! I've been a loyal customer for over 5 years

What can I say about the Castle? It's a neighborhood pizza joint. Yes, there are many around the city but the pizza and homemade sausage here are great. The service has always been great and delivery drivers are prompt and courteous. Prices can't be beat. If you decide to pickup, the parking in the tiny strip mall can be challenging. Few to non existent seating.

The Food is Fantastic! Try the Calzone. And the Pizza's are awesome Joseph Alber- Hickory Hills, Illinois

First time and the pizza was delicious. Looked like it moved around in the delivery truck because the toppings were messed up but still delicious. We also ordered wings and the taste was great but they got very soggy from the steam . I think poking holes in the container would help keep them a bit more crispy. Will definitely be ordering from them again.

I ordered a thin crust multi ingredient pizza. There seemed to a shortage of ingredients as if each ingredient was being counted as it was placed on the pie. I'm used to ordering a pizza that has a healthy regard to being filling. We basically ate the whole pizza and we're still hungry. Unfortunately, I wish I had taken a picture to add to this post. I wouldn't order again!

Pizza was made perfectly. Super delicious. Crispy crust with lots of toppings. They don't go cheap on it. The service was also pleasant and I would definitely come back for more.

The food was great. My son and I were in town to catch some baseball games and stopped into this place. Small place but definitely worth it.

Our dine in experience with pizza and cold beer was outstanding. For a new location you would expect the staff to be out of sink but they seemed to be in full control. We will definitely be coming back for our pizza fix!

When I 1st tried Pizza Castle I was shocked ( no disrespect). I went in and saw they were featured on Chicago's Best which made me feel a little more comfortable. Taking that first bite automatically got me hooked amd went several times after. The sausage pizza is one of my favorites, would rate Pizza Castle on my top 15. Would I go back? Most definitely! Worth the drive anywhere you are. The staff and the owners are really friendly and you can tell they make the pizza with passion amd that's what I like about this place. Continue on the great success Pizza Castle! Cant wait for the next bite
