Sano’s Pizza

Love this pizza place!!! They are right down the street from me and make amazing pizza. Everything is fresh and you honestly get what you pay for! Tons of cheese fresh cut peppers and onions and damn good Italian sausage pizza. Love thats it’s an old school Chicago place too on the inside and family owned. My go to pizza place now!!!

Best pizza in town. They will make the pizza to your likes. Very clean and very nice people.

I used to live across the street from this place, and there was another pizza shop close by this one. Sanos by far is the one of the best pizza places ive ever had, great mom and pops place! Since moving away I still come back just got the pizza!

The pizza is amazing, and the meatball sub is the best I’ve had in the city. it’s my go-​to at this point. I stay in and eat sometimes; the service is great. and I love the feel of the restraunt. Very homey, all about the food and conversation at the dinner table, but we have to talk over the TV that’s on in the living room. It’s perfect.

This place has such incredible pizza. The cheese is thick and creamy. I think it’s the best cheese I’ve ever had on pizza! The veggies and pepperoni tasted so fresh but the sausage is INSANELY good. The veggies had good crunch which balances the gooey cheese. The pie was coming out of the oven as I picked it up. I love how this is a mom and pop shop and not a chain. Also, for ordering 2 medium pies I got a free liter of RC. I will definitely return! Fyi there’s a $ 10 minimum on credit cards.

If you like cheese, this is the place to be! Ordered a small, stuffed deep dish to go and there’s at least a pound and a half of cheese in it. It’s tough to find the other ingredients, but when we did, they were pretty good. Open late, really nice service and a free liter of RC Cola with this purchase! We probably won’t go back, but it was a good try.

This is the most delicious pizza. The owner is very friendly and the pizza is tasty every time. Food is ready on time as promised. This is real Chicago style pizza. The lasagna is home made and delicious. I highly recommend Sano’s to everyone. I usually pick up, but when I have had delivery the drivers are on time and very professional. Super!

Good olé traditional Italian pie. plenty of oohy goofy cheese. Good pepperoni and sausage. Can’t go wrong here…

Pass by this place all the time and finally decided to check it out and order on a snowy Saturday night. Got a medium, thin crust, sausage pizza and the girlfriend got a small pepperoni and mushroom, no cheese (allergies) pizza. Both were pretty good and the prices were very reasonable. Will order again and try out other toppings. Glad to have finally checked it out!

We ordered from here for the first time on valentines day. The ordering process was easy and delivery driver was efficient and kind. Pizza crust is a matter of opinion, Sanos was too thick for me. I like a thin, crispy cracker like crust. Sanos is more of the thickness of cardboard, slightly chewy. Ingredients were fresh and delivery was hot. Just not my style.

The thin crust was super good.

This place has gotten better over the years. They’ve finally perfected my pasta order. As far as the pizza it isn’t out of this world, yet it isn’t very mediocre either.

Amazing Pizza!

I typically do not put reviews out there to often on Unilocal,but after having Sano’s thin crust pizza (Large Pepperoni and Black olives well done) I had to write one. I’m a huge pizza guy and have lived on the Northwest Side my whole life. For whatever reason I’ve never heard of Sano’s before I read some reviews on Unilocal and decided to give them a try. Best decision ever, this pizza was so good. One of the best crust’s I’ve ever had, both crispy and chewy, sauce was great, ingredients were fresh, and love it when pizza places put a little corn meal on the bottom of the crust, rather than using dry flour. It was my first time ordering, so I’m not sure how they normally do it, but I requested they put the pepperoni on top of the cheese (I prefer it crispy) and that’s exactly what they did. Lady who took the order was very nice, didn’t get that typical feeling of being rushed when ordering, and pizza arrived in about 45 minutes.
Can’t say enough about how good their pie was. It immediately jumped to the top of my top 5 for thin crust.
1. Sano’s
2. Pete’s #2 on Montrose
3. La Villa
4. Porretta’s
5. Barnaby’s
If anyone out there want’s to give them a try I highly recommend it. I wouldn’t put to much stock in the few bad reviews they got, seems they were for people buying by the slice and everyone knows the best way to eat pizza is fresh out the oven. No pizza is going to be that great if you buy a slice from a pie that has been sitting in a warming box for hours.

After the raving reviews I was excited to try this place out.
If I had gotten a plain cheese pizza, I would have given 4 stars. The sauce was good and so was the crust. The cheese was decent, but nothing to write home about. This pizza could be great.
Then came the toppings. Bland and flavorless. They tasted very old and were all clearly canned or frozen.
I won’t be going back.
Sano’s… we could have had something special. Sigh.

Totally decent thin crust pizza. Wish they had a website or a menu online.

This is definitely a lost art in Chicago/​An Italian Guy in a window with a Fauld’s Oven making pizza’s from scratch! Definitely the best thin crust pizza that I’ve had in Chicago by a longshot. All Ingredients are fresh and the sauce is near perfection! Definitely try the «Homemade Sausage”/ Only drawback is that it’s a tad on the expensive side, you get what you pay for! Also you get a free liter of RC Cola to complete the true old school feel… GTFJD

The diner is a blast from the past. For a cheap, quick slice, it’s quite alright. Nothing memorable but a good filler. Most memorable are the characters that eat here and those young kids hanging around outside trying to coerce you to buy them beer.
Keywords: Pizza. Slices. Cheap slices. Late night slice.

Simply stated, they are way overpriced, I paid almost $ 20 for a medium pizza that was barely enough to feed two people.
The delivery guy simply takes a tip from you when the person on the phone doesn’t say anything about it.
The pizza was good, but after paying too much for it I a will definitely not return. Dominos will give you twice the amount of food for the same cost. I am a pizza snob too, but I’d slum it with Dominos over this place any day. For that amount I can eat for a couple days on Dominos.

Where to eat on a Friday night at 10pm? Bringing out my handy dandy Unilocal app we found Sano’s and they have Italian beef pizza, who can say no to Italian beef?
My cousin and I were at the point of fainting due to hunger and as soon as we heard Italian beef say no more. We venture over to this little spot on the corner of Elston and Lawrence. At first we were going to do pizza slices since we were so hungry, but they only had cheese and pepperoni available so we opted for a medium Italian beef pizza with a side of giardiniera and an order of fries.
The fries were freshly fried and it was scorching hot we ate every bite and as the pizza knew we were waiting it came out as soon as our waitress removed our empty fries basket and place the ol’ so scrumptious pizza in front of us.
Thin crust with a good portion of cheese, sauce, and Italian beef. Perfection never looked better. With an ice cold Arizona ice tea and Italian beef pizza we couldn’t ask for a better combo.
Our waitress was very tentatively and extremely friendly. Great service and food! Only $ 20 for fries, 2 drinks, and a medium pizza!
