Stix & Stones Wood Fired Pizza

Was just getting lunchwow the sandwiches we had were the best, can’t wait to get the pizza. Will definitely be back.

Delicious and convenient! Ordered through Unilocal app and picked up. Great experience at this restaurant and will come again next time I’m in town!

Fabulous place with great food! Staff is extremely polite too. Give this place a try, you’ll be glad you did!!!

Great pizza and service with a good beer selection as well! Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here.

Nice place. Came here today for dinner, my wife and I split the southwest chicken salad and a built your own pizza with chicken, spinach and giardinera peppers. The staff was friendly, service was good. Food took a reasonable amount of time.
The salad was AMAZING. Perfect combination of ingredients to make great flavors. The croutons were perfectly soft and the right size. The pizza was good. All of the ingredients were fresh. The pizza wasn’t cut alway thru, no biggie tho. I wish the spinach was cut up instead of full leaves. The flavors were so– so. Overall, not a bad spot for a decent custom pizza.

Very good pizza, true Italian style (Napoli). The crust is good and cooked at the right point. Ambiance is nice for an informal meal with friends or coworkers. Good choice of toppings and sides. A couple more choices of wine, some desserts and a family or larger size would be improvements. Very friendly staff, they are all enthusiastic and serve you very well.
Definitely recommend the place.

Amazing pizza. I love the wood fire pizza taste and its just a neat atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Really great tasting sandwiches and kind service. Surprisingly well priced too.
The «Wood Roasted Chicken» sand which was a bit messy, but very good.

I argued with myself to give 3 stars or 4-​stars. Overall the food is what’s important, so i’m gonna go 4-​stars, but they have some work to do.
5 stars = Food
3 stars = Service
3 stars = Ambiance
When you walk in, there’s a huge menu on the wall. The register is at the front, so you basically place your order at the register and then they give you a buzzer/​# thing that you take to your table so they know where to bring the food.
We both ordered soup as well as an individual pizza. Unfortunately our pizza came out like a minute after our soup. So it sat there getting cold while we ate our soup. It would’ve been nice if it was spaced out a little bit more.
At first, the employees seemed nice. There were two guys and a girl working. The two guys both seemed like they were in their twenties, the girl was a teenager. They all seemed to be working hard. Never just standing around. At one point, one of the guys came by and was nice enough to refill our drinks for us (you fill up your own drinks at the fountain machine after you order).
The reason i knocked down the stars to 3 for Service was because there was a family in there who had a problem with their order, and one of the guys went to their table to find out what the issue was and then stood there and argued with them in front of everyone. From my perspective i was always taught that the customer is always right. So no matter what, you do what you need to do to make them happy. Myself and my friend were both horrified that he was arguing with them. Everything up until that point had been great, so hopefully this person learns that’s NOT ok.
The one thing i didnt like about the ambiance was the seating. There were only 2 booths, and the rest were hard chairs, and single tables (for 2) where 1 was a chair and one was on a long bench thing. I hate that kind of seating. I wish they’d had normal tables and more booths. It’s basically a «get ‘em in and out» kinda feel to the seating.
Ok, I want to end on a positive, so let’s discuss the food. The soup was quite delicious! I had chicken tortilla and it was so good. My friend and I both had the Pepperoni pizza and it was REALLY good. I would totally go back for their food, most specifically that pizza!!! It’s not your standard pizza. it’s «homemade» and fresh and so so yummy.
Definitely stop in and give it a try. Just know it’s more of almost a fast-​food type place rather than a restaurant where you’d go and sit for a couple hours. Enjoy!

The pizza is quite good, especially if you like the unique taste of wood-​fired Neapolitan pizza. The ingredients were very fresh and tasty — even as take-​out. We had the mushroom/​arugula and meatball/​sausage — we wanted to try one white and one red. Both were delicious.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My initial phone call to place the order was easy and the young lady on the phone was happy to make a recommendation (and she was spot on!). And when I walked in I was pleasantly greeted by several employees.
Happy to have a nice pizza wood-​fired place in Burr Ridge — we will be back!

Awesome wood fired pizza, great options for salads and sandwiches. There was an error in our order and the manager jumped right in immediately and had it fixed. Impeccable customer service! Great atmosphere, we will definitely retrain when we are in town!

I have to give a shout out to @Stix&StonesBR in Burr Ridge! I can’t believe we haven’t eaten here more often since we live across the damn street!
We’ve only been bere twice and had their pizza, which is good. But holy cow I had the ham sandwich on their peddler bread tonight and it was A. MAZING. The ham was sliced perfectly, and it has the perfect blend of ingredients that make the sandwich taste so deliciously fresh (and it was huge)! It came with a side so I went with the cauliflower cous cous and yeah, delicious again. Don’t only take my word for it, the hubs thought it was a kick ass sandwich too and being a culinary grad you know he doesn’t say that about just any food.
Great food, nice casual — family friendly atmosphere, really, really reasonable prices and top notch warm friendly service.
Please try this little family restaurant so they stay across the street from us. You won’t be disappointed!

I’ve popped by twice and was met with very friendly staff and service. I’ve had the mushroom pizza those both times, which was absolutely fantastic. Ask for the pizza to be cooked a bit «well done», as it falls apart a bit easily (which is wonderful if you’re into that sort of symphony for the senses… but a fork and knife is necessary). Sparkling tap water is nice. Looking forward to trying the outdoor seating in the summer, with the delightful view of the Burr Right Promenade parking lot. At peak season you might catch a Rolls Royce or a flock of Mercedes S Classes in their natural habitat. Ah. Burr Ridge. Okay, jokes aside, this place is fast, casual, clean, with a nice ambiance.

I like this place. Decent Neapolitan pizza. Crust is nicely chewy but too moist in the center. White pizza needs a bit more pizzazz. Tomato sauce is a bit tart for my taste. Kale salad is very good. Small but tasty selection of craft beers. Nice room, good service.

Came here for dinner after work one day. It was a well designed fast casual restaurant.
We ordered a few salads, appetizers and pizzas. The Speck and Egg pizza was my fave! I went with some gal pals that had dietary restrictions and we didn’t realize that Speck was prosciutto. They re-​did the order for us but I got the sense that they were a little frustrated with us. Other than that, it was a good dining experience.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed a table on the patio. Service was friendly and attentive. We tried the Chopped Salad with balsamic dressing and a Margarita pizza. Both were excellent. Particularly enjoyed the crust on the wood fired pizza. But why only one sprig of basil in the center? They have craft beers on tap. Meal were reasonable. Both pizza and salad were $ 9 each. Kids menu available. There’s a Red Mango right next door for something sweet afterwards and a Starbucks on other side. As Arnold says, «I’ll be back!»

As a person who studies what it really means to make a VPN (Verace Pizza Napoletana) pizza, I’m always open to the idea of trying a new pizza place. I regularly make pizza at home, but lack the complexity that a wood fired oven can offer. If I had the space, I’d build a wood oven in my backyard.
We originally went to the Burr Ridge Mall to see what the farmers market had to offer, and we ended up here for dinner since this place looked new. Walking in, the ambiance is warm, staff was friendly, welcoming & explained the menu to us.
The menu offers some great choices that may be outside the comfort zone of most people who just want a pizza. I thought they all looked great, and would try everything on the menu. I’ve read through the negative reviews here on Unilocal and can conclude the people didn’t understand what they were ordering, and thus gave a negative review, which is totally unfair.
We ordered Aiden (4) a kids sausage pizza meal that came with carrots & ranch appetizer, smaller (8in) pizza, cookie, and drink for only $ 6.50. This is an amazing deal! Way more food than a 4yr old can eat, but he declared everything «yummy»
I ordered the Sausage and Broccolini, was pretty epic. The roasted broccolini was a nice addition. Their condiments (parmesan, oregano & chili flakes) all seemed very fresh and flavorful.
Chrissy ordered the Mushroom and Arugula, and was happy with her choice.
For drinks they have craft beer and wine selection. Chrissy got a Dale’s Pale Ale and I ordered some of the wine they had on draft. (yes, draft wine!).
Qualms with our experience.
1) All of our pizzas came out at a different time. Roughly 10 minutes difference between pizza 1 and 3. When the pizza oven can handle 5+ pizzas at the same time, they should try to keep tables orders together. The owner did apologize that they had to remake one of our pies since they it did not come out right. I appreciate the honesty, and concern with perfection. But it was hard to stare at the other pizzas on the table and wait to eat the one I had ordered.
2) The cashier did not ring up the wine I had ordered correctly. I ordered a 0.25 carafe of red wine, but I was charged for a 0.5 carafe. On my way out, I tried to rectify the situation with the cashier. She quickly acknowledged the mistake as her own issue with the register. But it took 15 minutes for the owner to provide a solution. Since the problem couldn’t be resolved in the register with a voided /​altered transaction, I ended up receiving a favorable sum in gift certificates. The only problem is that it took 15 minutes to come to a resolution and finally receive them.
Overall we’ll definitely be back (in part because we have to use the gift certificates!). The pizzas were great, (better than all of the neapolitan places in the suburbs that we’ve been to).

Being in the food business myself, a true Napoletan By blood and thru family, I know a true Pizze Napoltan! I will give credit for the restaurant ambiance, and the setup from start to finish! Being a chef, I believe they cut to much of the acid from the marinara sauce! By tasting the sauce, i know its the «alta cucina» brand tomatoes! They come from northern california and are amazing overall! I use them all the time! As a Chef, balancing flavors such as acid, heat, sweet etc. When you completely cut the natural acidity in something so beautiful, you get a very bare flavorful sauce! The dough was very tender as it should be for being a 65% water saturated dough and usually fermented for 2 – 3 days b4 using it! Meatballs were good! Presentation was nice! I would try it again!

Whoever opened this place seized on a million dollar opportunity — Stix & Stones Wood Fired Pizza captured exactly what was missing from the area. I understand the persona that Burr Ridge embodies, but dear god, sometimes I just want a quick good lunch and not a high end restaurant atmosphere/​price! It is a casual, delicious, decently priced restaurant that has a great craft beer and wine selection. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. They have a nice manageable selection of pizzas, including a create-​your-​own, sandwiches and salads. We had the wild mushroom and argula with some beer. The ingredients were fresh, the pizza was cooked perfectly, and was a great size for sharing at lunch. The service was friendly and quick. I’m absolutely looking forward to coming back.

Just dined here for the first time. Had the sausage/​broccolini pizza, saltimbocca meatballs and chopped salad. Everything was delicious with the saltimbocca meatballs being the standout. Will definitely be back to try out more of the menu as well as to drink more of the great selection of beer that they serve. Manager was very attentive and came to our table twice to ensure all was well.
