Cafe Luigi: User Reviews

Best "NY Style" Pizza in Chicago
By Just Joe from North Center, February 6, 2009

Overall rating:

I'm an east coaster and it was a shock to the system to arrive in Chicago and see all your pizza cut into squares. I stumbled upon Cafe Luigi and haven't complained since. The dude who runs the place can be a mean old man, and I've found myself spending $25 to have a small pepperoni pizza delivered to my house, but it's all worth it. Piece and Santullo's over in Wicker Park are the only places that can come close to comparing to Cafe Luigi.

If you like 2 hour delivery times and cold pizza

The pizza is good, if you pick it up at the restaurant. But, if you order delivery, expect about a 2 hour wait time on Tuesday nights. 2 plus hour wait on Friday and Saturday. When your pizza does finally arrive it will be cold, soggy, and taste terrible!!!! You’ll also have the joy of an incredibly rude delivery person that will curse at you if you say anything about the length of time it takes. Overall opinion, this place is overrated and not worth the wait.

Being from NY I've had a really hard time finding pizza in the city that I like. Now don't beat me up because I don't like Chicago pizza. Why would you cut it into squares?

This is the only place that I will buy pizza in the City of Chicago. The crust is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The sauce has a wonderful zip to it with just enough garlic. The cheese is firm enough to stay in place yet is soft and chewy.

This is the best kept secret in the city!

I've discovered this place several years ago and became their full time customer. I 've been using it for corporate and personal occasions. The pepperoni NY style is the best one and like calzones & deserts. The deliveries are always timely and reliable and the prices are reasonable. Everyone loved it.
