County Line Pizza

A Chicagoland legend! I’ve been going here ever since I was a kid. The quality has stayed great through the years. The thin crust pizza they serve is amazing! It is a must try for those seeking a real Chicago style pizza.

Picked up a couple of pizzas from here. BTW, you can only pick up or have it delivered.
Ordered a ½ sausage, ½ mushroom and their Italian Beef pizza.
The pizza was OK, nothing spectacular in my book. Sauce was not flavorful enough. For a Chicago thin crust, sauce can make or break you in my book. However, I really like the sausage that they use here. Very good flavor.
The Italian Beef pizza was the winner. It comes with red peppers and giardiniera which gave it the punch that the sauce could not. It was good and I would order it again.
I’m at a 3.5 on a rating but since Unilocal won’t let you do that and since they are an independent place it bumps up to a 4.
P. S. ALWAYS support independent pizzerias. I do my part. I can prove it by looking at my waistline!
Cheers to All

Worst shit I ever ate! I wouldn’t feed this to a dog! I wonder how they kept in business over the years. I got food poisoning from this place. Worst 3 days of my life. For 3 days, I just vomited and shit non stop.

So if my name isn’t already a DEAD GIVEAWAY, yes — I love pizza. All kinds of pizza.
Heard about this place from a few people, drove by it a couple times, checked Unilocal reviews and perused the pizza menu. Double decker pizza? whaaat? Meatball pizza? Huuuh? $ 20.00 for an 18″ one topping pizza? noo kiddin? AND you get a free 2 liter w/​any 18″…I was in PIZZA SHOCK!
Since I’ve never had meatball pizza before and this was my first time checking this joint out — I of course had to live on the ‘wild side’ and ordered this. The joint itself is old-​school, tiny, carry-​out and delivery only. Nothing to look at — and who cares anyway? your only here to pick-​up your pizza, you pizza fools!
Spoke to the really friendly guy behind the counter, this joint has been around for over 40 years. Noticed TONS of pizza boxes waiting for owners… phone was ringin off the hook! You’ll notice many reviews here are from loyal customers who grew up with County pizza, not to mention new comer’s to this awesomeness.
Mind you, I already had visions of this ‘meatball pizza’ prior to getting it. Visions of juicy, homemade, saucy meatballs, cut into big meatball wedges lying all over the top of melted cheese (or underneath the cheese) I didn’t care where it was. Just the mental image of meatballs on pizza was making me salivate… how could this not be good? (said to self).
As you’ll notice in pics below (my first ever food pic’s posted, btw).this pie was covered with mini meatballs. Was I crushed? a little… but after biting into this magical, flakey, thin, chewy and somewhat crispy crust — I was revived and my taste-​buds were definitely happy. Mini meatballs were tasty, not dry. The yummy layer of mozz cheese was topped with Italian herbs — I could taste & see oregano, which gave this pizza a little more ‘punch’ or pizazz if you will. Personally, I felt the pizza would have been just as tasty without it, but still enjoyed it. Would I order this pizza again? YES, yEs, yeS! It was unlike any other I’ve tasted. Fantastic oven baked crust. Not greasy. Perfect balance of cheese & toppings… and great sauce too. Sausage pizza had a nice spicey kick I loved.
I might want to try the double decker next time. Two flaky, light thin crusts on top of eachother with a layer of cheese in-​between… heck, they should name this the Threesome pizza! :p
YOU decide & check this place out!
ps. they also offer Pan pizza — but heard their thin & double crust is what to get here.
pss. they advertise they deliver ‘almost anywhere’ — just ask! how nice of them!!! They aim to please, & I’m a fan!

Got tired of over-​paying for Roberto’s pizza so I went here based on the great Unilocal reviews and I agree! Loved it. The place itself is kind of a trip (not sure how to describe it) but don’t hold that against it. Pizza was really really good and the lady there is super nice. This is now my go to.

Pretty good thin crust pizza. Fast and friendly service. Wish they had more options other than pizza and wings… would have liked cheese sticks but oh well. I would order form them again!

This place is unbelievable! Been coming here since I was a kid when it was «county inn.» I work in melrose park and often stop here on my way home from work and take it back to the city. The pizza is delicious. The crust is the best around and the toppings are always fresh. My husband loves the double decker pizza I prefer the regular, so we switch off. It doesn’t look like much from the street, it is a takeout place. They offer delivery, but I always pick it up and usually steal a slice on my way home because I cannot wait! If you live in the area, you must try this little pizza joint.

Nice joint. Tried hard to get here but missed closing a few times. Finally found it during opening hours and well worth the effort. Not for the martini finger swagging guest but if you like old school friendliness without the kiss-​ass service… get what you get with a positive, friendly effort, this is the slice for you. Not only was it a great slice, but they offer the «little pepperoni» slice that bubbles when bakes and has that perfect little crust that makes this slice a piece of happiness. If you are like me, from the Detroit area that remembers Pizzuti’s or Dario’s…the pepperoni is 100% perfect. I will never recommend galloway’s but if you need an excuse for slice, and a frothy one while you are waiting, these two establishments make a perfect match!

It was ok. I’m glad they were delivering in this terrible weather but I’m not sure Ill go back soon. Pepperoni had a different taste and i preferred the sausage. The hot wing sauce was very good but some wings were soggy. The price was pretty comparable to other pizza places.

Not really feeling the love for this place right now. We have wanted to try this place for quite some time now because of all the positive reviews on Unilocal.
First off we ordered for pickup. The lady said 45 minutes. We live with in 5 minutes of the place, by the time we got it home it was just slightly above room temperature. Grossly overestimated the time the pizza would be ready… don’t they have a warming oven where the pizza’s are kept warm? I’ve driven home with pizza 5 miles away and they were warmer than this one was.
As for the pizza we ordered the County Inn Special. Bland, bland, bland. Nothing remarkable, or even outstanding. For that kind of money we should have gone to Pete’s Fresh Market and gotten one of their take and bake supreme pizzas, which is a heck of a lot better than this one was.
Needless to say we may try this place again… but not in the near future.

Soooooooo good! Great crust, sauce and ingredients. The only recommendation I would make is that when football season starts please open at 12 instead of 3.
That said, the pizza is great. Keep up the great work.

This is a tiny, local joint with great service and good pizza. My girls and I ordered two thin crust pizzas: a sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza and a mushroom, spinach, and onion pizza. Both pizzas had generous toppings and the crust was nicely crunchy without being burnt. When we stopped in to pick up the pizzas, the owner was super friendly and when we were chatting he treated us as if we were long time friends. Give County Inn Pizza a try on a day when you just don’t feel like cooking dinner!

Areas best pizza — cooked perfectly, great sauce, great sausage. Fresh toppings. You can taste the love.

Good crust, excellent sauce. By far best pizza in the area!

One of the best! Great sauce, great cheese, great crust. What more can you say about great pizza? And great service too! This place has been a family favorite since I was introduced to it in the 90s and I sure am glad they’re still around and use the same recipe. Get the double decker!!!

I had read reviews for this place here on Unilocal,and I was extremely curious as to what all the «fuss» was about! So, not wanting to cook on a Saturday night, I decided to try County Inn Pizza.
I ordered a Double Decker pepperoni and mushroom pizza, as well as 5 BBQ wings. The man on the phone had to take my credit card number a couple times because he couldn’t hear or understand me, which was a little frustrating, but eventually everything went through. Within the hour, my order was at my door.
For $ 24.00 I was impressed by the size of the pizza. A medium is more than enough for 2 people! I finally found out why this place gets such great reviews!
The BBQ wings were some of the best I have ever had, and I am not a «wing» person. The sauce was amazing! The only problem I had was they were a little on the fatty side. Other than that, they were great!
The pizza is so unique, the crust has 2 parts, like a big mac. Crust in the middle. Which is unbelievably amazing! The ingredients are so fresh and delicious. The spicing is JUST right too. I could only scarf down 3 pieces before I was extremely stuffed.
My overall experience with County Inn Pizza was great and I will definitely be ordering again!

One of my fav pizza places in the Elmhurst~ish area. I have been eating this pizza since I was 5! I have many fond memories of my Grandpa (rest in peace Gpa Chicken!) bringing a savory large green pepper, onion, sausage, and mushroom to their home and we would just taking that pie down like nothing.
The pizza ingredients are fresh, the customer service is great, and it’s always hot when arrived.
This place is next to dive bomb Galaways and Mary Queen of Heaven Cemetery but don’t judge or think your taking a spirit home with you… it’s a little joint with lots of flavor. I live in Lombard but at times will drive out for a slice or 10 of heaven. Delish!

One of the best and they deliver anywhere for a price. It great and as my reviews have shown I eat a lot of pizza. Thin crust rocks sauce is flavorful and a little spicy. You won’t find any reviews from me for good pizza with sweet sauce.
Try it you’ll like it.

AMAZING!!!
Ordered from here for the first time as I had heard good things about it. Yummyumm! I had a double decker with meatballs and roasted red pepper. This was probably the most exciting pizza I had ordered in a long time. It had a good amount of cheese on it with an excellent flavor. The nice layer of cheese between the two crusts is pure genius. This place is without a doubt one of the best pizzas I have had.

I’ve had my fair share of pizzas, but from the first bite I knew I was experiencing something special and it was driving me nuts waiting for them to finally open at 4, which seemed like a long wait to me.
First off, don’t pay any attention to the map on the top right of the screen, its next to the Galway inn at the Roosevelt/​Hamilton Rd. intersection. The building was very small. The concrete-​grounded waiting area was even smaller that felt like I was stuck in a small storage locker.
Got a large double decker (2 thin crusts in one pizza) with bacon ($ 18.50) it had to of been the best pizza I had in a long time. Every ingredient was top quality and the adding of bacon make it even better. I highly recommend this place. It definitely merits a try, even if you’re from a far distance.
