Sal’s Pizza Company

Tasty sauce, good crust, fast delivery. A keeper.
We ordered 3 pies — a plain cheese, meat lovers’ and one with various ingredients. All of the pizzas were prepared to specifications (which were slightly different for each). The sauce had a good bit of spicy bite, not the sweet glop you find at so many places. The thin crust was good and crisp, without being dry. The toppings seemed fresh and were generously apportioned. Delivery was fast and the driver was courteous. This could become a go-​to joint.

The pizza is OK. It is not anything special, I’m surprised at all the glowing reviews. The staff is friendly and prices are OK. Just an average pizza place IMHO.

Best pizza in the area. Reminds me of Benny’s pizza in Berwyn. Hands down always consistent and delicious.

I don’t know what it is, but as soon as you get 30 miles outside the city, the pizza quality just diminishes. The far northwest burbs have a lot of pizza places, but none that I would say are worth raving about.
Enter Sal’s. It’s in a nondescript location on the side of a 7 – 11 right at Hanson/​Hilltop and 62. Their pizza is very good, and service is fast. We like both the deep dish and thin crust, usually the pies are well-​done, with browned and bubbly cheese. On occasion the deep dish seems to have too much sauce, which is easily remedied by telling them to ease up on it.
Sides and the pizza are a bit pricey, so as others have suggested, use one of the various coupons they have via mailers or their website. You don’t even need to clip the coupon, just give ‘em the coupon number and you’re good.
Sidenote: if you like hotwings, grab an order. I don’t know what sauce they use, but dang it’s HOT! But good flavor too. Enjoy.

I haven’t reviewed Sal’s Pizza Company yet?! My family and I had been devotees of another local pizza place whose pizza is still pretty darn good. But then in the past year we had Sal’s at a friend’s house one night. Well, that other place has not seen us since! We became true believers in Sal’s Pizza Company and have not looked back since! We probably order two or three times a month and pick it up. Sal’s is very generous with toppings and I like that they have an XL size (18 inch). Also, we are totally addicted to their Red Hook fried shrimp! Pro tip: check their web site (
) for coupons before ordering.

I can’t give 5 stars because of price and the flavor is not outstanding.
The pizza is a thin crust but I have had it far more cracker thin in the area. The toppings are very plentiful and plenty of sauce and cheese. I got a 16″ Special pizza, a 12″ pepperoni, and 8 wings. With a $ 5 coupon it was $ 48 for dinner; rather steep but it was different and it was very good, but not great.
We did get their wings and they are excellent, they are five star wings. If I were to do it again I might just order nothing but wings.

Great pizza!!!
However, after they burned out last pizza, we were told they’d put a credit on our account. When asking about that credit when ordering this evening, surprisingly, it wasn’t there. Not cool at all, Sal’s!!! When you tell a customer that you are going to do something after a mistake you made (burnt pizza), do it!!! Very disappointed in you, Sal’s!!!

Read the reviews. Tried the pizza. Loved it. Best pizza around. The only negative thing is I’m slightly out of their delivery area. … No more delivery if I want the best pizza.

Always the best pizza! Delicious and fresh! It’s a bit pricey but worth it. I love their thin crust cheese pizza!

Best pizza ever. Fresh ingredients. Excellent sauce. Perfect crust. Made quickly and expertly. Life’s short, eat Sal’s. Carry out or delivery. Also great for catering parties; large number of options. Can’t beat their Italian beef sandwiches and fried chicken. They just opened a sit-​down restaurant in Huntley, IL.

Pretty good pizza. We are new to the area and read great reviews. So close to home, we did pick up. The pizza was pretty good. Good cheese. Half was meat lovers, which was good but maybe too much meat for me. The man who took my order on the phone was nice and friendly. The pizza was pretty greasy, but was a great thin crust. Coupons on their website. I didn’t have a printer and they honored the coupon anyways. We will return.

Amazing pizza delivered fast on a Saturday night hot and yummy and crunchy onion rings!!! Yummmmmmm:-)

Ordered pizza last night. The crust was thick and like cardboard, and it was very burnt. This is the third time we’ve ordered pizza with the thick crust, but first time it was really burnt.
Sal’s is more expensive than anyone else, which is fine if the product is better. But this was bad.
When I called to let them know, they said oh sorry. Very disappointed.

This was my first time eating at Sal’s Pizza Co. and I’m very happy I gave them a try.
Order: Take Out
Lasagna w/​Meat Sauce
Mozzarella Sticks w/​Marinara Sauce
Pros: I really enjoyed the lasagna. It was nice and cheesy and had plenty of sauce. I initially ordered the cheesy bread sticks instead of the mozzarella sticks but unfortunately they were out. I will definitely be trying those on my next visit.
Cons: There were not many negatives from what I ordered but if I had to nitpick I would say the sauce was a little oily.
I look forward to returning to Sal’s in the future.

When we are in the mood for some quick, great carry-​out pizza, Sal’s is the place we head to! I repeat business there at least once a month and have for many years. Definitely the pizza place of Algonquin!

Simply the best.
The thin crust pizza at Sals is amazing. Fantastic crust, delicious sauce and fresh ingredients. This is the only pizza in area I will ever order. We also always get the wings and they are meaty and delicious as well!
Don’t let the simple exterior and location fool you. They are cooking up some great pizza inside.
Stop reading now and go order a pizza.

Pizza here is always good but my last visit left a bad taste in my mouth. I ordered two pizzas and my family and I went to pick them up. We walked in and no one bothered to greet us. We were asked the name of the order by (Cheyenne) and she then told us it wasn’t finished yet. I had arrived a little early for my pick up so I had no problem waiting for it to be finished. What happened next is the reason why I will never step foot in this establishment again. My family and I are on the larger side and we clearly heard the girl that had helped us and another young man begin to make jokes and laugh about our weight. I’m not one to make assumptions but they weren’t talking that quietly, I clearly could hear what they were saying. It was very uncomfortable. My children and I went and sat in the car while my husband stayed inside to get the pizza we had already paid for.

Ordered a medium stuffed pizza today and I have to say, Sal’s makes one heck of a good pie. The medium was huge… the cheese was not that greasy cheap cheese, the sauce was the right balance of sweet/​tangy and the quality of the Italian sausage used was fantastic.
Medium Stuffed, ½ Pepperoni with Mushroom ½ Sausage only total charge with delivery $ 28.31

Very disappointing for the pizza order, over cook, first time and last time order from here

Behind a very unassuming store front, in back of a 7-​Eleven off Algonquin Road, you’ll find a beehive of pizza activity. On a Friday night, I counted three adults, and a dozen teenagers (not including delivery dudes), making, baking pizzas, sandwiches, answering the phone, taking orders, waiting on walk-​in customers at the counter.
After thirty years in the pizza business at a couple of different locations in Chicago, Sal packed up his family and moved to Algonquin. He purchased a local operating pizza delivery biz in 1996, rejigged the operation, put in his family recipes, and the rest is history, as they say. Sal’s is frequently listed on every «best» and «favorite» list published in the Northwest suburbs.
As I have been grazing my way through area pies, I had yet to try Sal’s, and I had the opportunity last night. Not sure if they delivered to my side of the tracks, I called in an order and was told it would be ready in 20 – 25 minutes. Westbound traffic crossing the river at the end of the day is horrific under the best of circumstances, so I wasn’t worried about dawdling on my way over there.
I was surprised to arrive to a full parking lot, and an even fuller 8X8 waiting/​pick up room, crammed with customers picking up pizzas, sandwiches, pasta, chicken dinners, and food of that ilk.
I had ordered a large sausage pie and an Italian beef/​sausage combo sandwich with fries. An enthusiastic teen (or six) asked if they could help me, I told them my name, order, they told me how much, and money changed hands. They said there running a bit behind, and it would be a few minutes.
It was more than a few, but no matter, I am happy they are prospering, and they (unnecessarily) comped me a six pack of soda for the «inconvenience.» I didn’t really feel inconvenienced, but most every woman I have ever been involved with has told me I get «this look» when I reach a certain level of impatience. I’m not sure what it looks like, and it’s involuntarily. I understand that «things» happen in a small business.
In any case, food in my paws, along with free soda, motored home to dig into my pie.
Wow. Really. Wow.
This being Chicago, you have a pizza place on practically every corner (right next to the hot dog/​beef shop), and that’s not even including the national chains.
Sal’s deserves all the accolades its receives. And your business.
With a flaky, chewy thin crust, flavorful sauce, and handsome sized pieces of hand-​pulled Italian sausage, and a very generous serving of real cheese, this is a great pizza.
As you know, I think the true test of a good pizza is how it works out for breakfast the next morning, having sat on the counter all night, and Sal’s passes with flying colors.
Good job, folks. I’ll be back.
