Easily the best pizza place I’ve tried in the area unless you’re in the mood for cracker crust, then Brauerhouse has it beat. Outside of that it literally crushes the competition.
Great Chicago/​Region style thin crust square cut pizza. Perfect. Good sauce, nice crispy crust even on center pieces, never over greasy.
Other menu items have always been above average to excellent and the dinners are huge portions. Fast delivery, really can’t go wrong.

So I was in town for work, and after a long day I was looking for something to get delivered to my hotel room. I found this place on Unilocal,and after checking out the website’s menu, I called for delivery. It was VERY clear this was being delivered to a hotel room. I ordered ravioli and a small salad, not finger food in the slightest.
The food was good, but they didn’t include any utensils or napkins! I had to use a towel as a napkin, and dig out a fork from the trashcan from a previous meal. I was lucky that I had something to eat with! I would have been pretty pissed if I didn’t have that in my trash already.
So, good food, but super lame they didn’t include anything to eat with with my order. I would think that would be common sense to include them, especially since I was IN a hotel, but apparently it is not.
I don’t know when I will be back in the area, so I probably will never eat here again, but wanted to share my experience for any others out there who might order delivery. Make sure to specify if you need eating utensils.

I would only give it 3 stars as it is just pizza nothing special. It is not the same as the one with the same name in Berwyn, il. That place is better. This one is greasy and a lot o salt tease. But will give them a very good for the broccoli cheese puffs, they a good. Also took on out one hour for it to be delivered, long time for a 15 minute cook time I think.

I live 3 min walk from this place and there are some days I really want to get delivery instead of getting my lazy ass up out of house with some clothes on, but to save some money on delivery fee, tips, and needing to get out of the house at least once that day, I grudgingly put some pants on and head out the door.
The St. Christopher, who is the Patron Saint of travelers is a name for a one of their signature Pizza, and it’s pretty damn good. Toppings include Italian beef, pepperoni, giardiniera, ricotta & mozzarella cheese. And I just add jalapenos as an extra topping. Bad thing is, about 90% of Asian population is lactose intolerant, which means that I will pay for it the next day, but nevertheless, this is a damn good pizza and toppings compliment each very well. Sweetness of giardiniera with saltiness of pepperoni and slight sourness of ricotta cheese is damn good combination.
I haven’t ordered anything else but you can never go wrong with the above pizza. I’m probably going to order this pizza this weekend.

We were previously customers of Dominicks pizza, but I was never happy with the quality and we went there because they were cheap and there aren’t many choices for pizza in Villa park.
So Last week I ordered a Tony’s special pizza.
It was excellent!
Great sauce, not greasy, perfect crust!
Better quality food!
Today I ordered dinner for the family.
Cheese sticks and fried mushrooms were great!
My wife and daughter loved the blue star burgers and fries.
I had the baked lasagne (is it possible to have too much cheese? Lol) and a side of meatballs. I loved it!
This is our new place!

My wife and I love this place and have given it plenty of business over the years.
They recently messed up an order of mine and after speaking with them, they offered no reparations for this.
Its not good when your customers consistently drive 30 minutes out of the way to give you business… and you don’t offer them help when YOU’VE messed up our order.
Yes, you have our business, but now we’re half-​hearted.

Best pizza in the area by far! We couldn’t find a good place for awhile – Crust to crunchy, sauce no flavor etc. Now this is the only place we order from.
Love the crust, sauce and cheese perfect balance and flavor. Must try the blt, we order it every time.

I’m giving 2 stars here based on the Unilocal definition of «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»
I think 2 stars is a little harsh, but 3 start is «A-​OK» and that sounds awfully positive to me.
I’m a displaced New Yorker and to me NY pizza is «real pizza.» That being said, I rarely if ever ate a pizza I didn’t like (or at least wouldn’t eat over many other food groups.).
I can’t comment at all on anything other than the actual taste of the pizza, as I have only had it picked up from here several times since my relatives live in the area and they think this place is the greatest (or at least the best in their radius).
I’m judging this solely on the cheese pizza (which is the benchmark of how I feel pizza joints should be judged). And, as the Unilocal nomenclature sums it up:
Meh. I’ve experienced better.
It is totally edible pizza (seems fresh enough, nothing disgusting). But it is also extremely tasteless/​bland. There is absolutely no reason I would go and spend $ 15 – 20 for a pie here when I can have a frozen pizza for a quarter of that price. Honestly — even pizza from a chain is more appetizing to me (albeit probably made with not as wholesome ingredients).
To be fair — my wife tells me that I don’t like it because I eat the plain — and that the sausage pizza is great. But, in my opinion that just means they buy good sausage (or maybe make it?) — but it still doesn’t mean their pizza is anything great.

Favorite pizza place in the area besides lou malnatis. I like the thin crust. They are a greasier pizza but it’s amazing. Definitly best deal there fried panzeroti though. My boyfriend begs me to go there every weekend at least once to get one. Cheezy heaven.

I live within a few blocks of this place and am SOOO THANKFUL!!!
They have several pizzas which I enjoy, the white pizza is great, the Sicilian is great, quite honestly I have not had a pizza from this place that I didn’t like. In fact I loved them!
If I’m feeling Italian for the night but not pizza? I call here and order the baked lasagna.
It’s a massive portion of home made lasagna that has a generous portion of cheese baked on top. The sauce on this dish is so damned good.
The standard lasagna comes without the additional cheese.
I love this place!

Ordered a 16″ Thin crust pizza… cheese sausage mushroom ½ pepperoni and bacon. Ingredients were great but where’s was the sauce???

Best pizza in Villa Park, by far. If you’re looking for something other than pizza, they have an amazing meat ball sub. Their homemade baked lasagna is to DIE for. It has more cheese than one can ever desire and I love cheese. And most importantly, customer service is always exceptional. I love the feel of the small, home town pizzeria.

The best Chicago style thin crust pizza I have had so far in Chicago. I ordered my usual thin crust w/​pepperoni and sausage. Wow. Rivals the best I’ve had. No skimping on anything. Great flavors. Solid cracker thin crust. I will definitely be back.

Pretty good. Salads were just average. Pizza was amazing. The staff was very friendly and took care of us very well. The only issue was when I took a trip to the restroom and found 3 bugs lying on the floor. Ew.

You haven’t lived until you’ve tried the club pizza. omg. Amazing! The pickles on the pizza are the icing on the cake. Don’t be scared, try it! Plus the staff is very friendly!

Though I live in Elmhurst and have several pizza options to choose from, such as Roberto’s, Rosati’s and Lou Malnati’s, I guess I’m partial to Michael Anthony’s, but solely because it’s my first and middle names. I ordered through Grub Hub, a medium thin crust cheese, sausage, mushroom. I ordered at 8:25PM and it arrived at 9:40PM, just several blocks away. The sauce was a bit flat on flavor, and beat out Roberto’s over priced, light on ingredients pizza, but fell a bit short on the flavor on Rosati’s, which can vary from order to order.
I work in producing and editing spots for broadcast television and radio as well as digital, and with so much competition in market share, I’m surprised that none of the 6 to 8 places that compete with each other, don’t make a push to edge out their competitors by spending the money and getting their name out there.
Work on the sauce recipe, decrease delivery time, and you’ll be there!

Great pizza. The pizza was ready in 20 minutes, great time for a Friday night.
The fries were good. I will definitely return.

This place is amazing! When I come down to my Dads place in Oak Brook Tr it’s a must order. The pizza is pretty good as well. I rate it 3^rd overall in Chicago behind

This is a wonderful pizza place. Do yourself a favor and try out the specialty pizzas, that is where they really shine. The BLT is like a delicious open-​faced sandwich, with cold lettuce and pickles on top. I know that description might not be terribly appealing, but it is a seriously amazing experience. Everyone who has tried it immediately orders it from then on. The St. Christopher is also always worth it. It is the ultimate spicy man pizza.
The broccoli cheese puffs are a tasty fried app, as well.
Stop wasting your time on cheap pizza and try the BLT out. You won’t regret it.

Great pizza! Love the BLT, sounds weird with ranch and lettuce and tomato but it’s delish! So is the BBQ Chicken pizza, yum!
The owner is great to work with for big parties ie. school/​sports. He’s made ordering easy, his suggestions saved money. And he’s accommodated early school lunch periods and even delivered.
