Damenzo’s Pizza

Always great food the service is good and prices are decent I eat here maybe 4 times a month

Bad service, called 50mins before they closed to pick up a small pizza and was told it was too late!!! WTF it takes 15mins to make… Will never call them again

I just ordered a cheesy beef and 2 steak tacos… tacos were horrible. dry and burnt. paid $ 20.I am so pissed. these can’t be the same owners. their food and service was never this bad… Management sucks. no customer service at all. They just lost a longtime customer!!! UGH… I am so pissed!

For what it is, Damenzo’s is a great neighborhood pizza spot. It’s not the best tasting pizza, but it is good and serves its purpose. I highly recommend them, especially if you are doing large parties. Their overall value is way better than most local pizza places (price, taste, and service).

I lived off of damenzos for quite some time last February, and surprisingly my GI tract had never been better. For catering to every demographic, damenzos is killing it. Pizza bigger than my head, tortas, tacos, chicken wings, sandwiches, desserts. This places leaves little to be desired.
My favorites include the pizza and Mexican food; their tacos are super delish. You can spend 5 – 10 dollars here and be uncomfortably full for hours. It’s a great bang for he buck. Did I mention that they’re open late?!
In review, I like this place a lot. If I could continue eating here everyday without consequence to my body, I would in a second. However, it’s become more of a sometimes snack due to obesity.

This is some amazing homemade tasting, old school Chicago thin crust pizza. One of the original ‘giant slice’ places, their quality is head and shoulders above their imitators. Damemzos is the perfect definition of a real deal Chicago neighborhood joint and that ‘hood is west-​taylor street/​UIC/​medical-​law-​triangle-​zone-​area. Sometimes they can be insanely busy with long wait times but that goes for any good pizza place. Discovered them while going to UIC and have been ordering from them for 15 years. Hands down one of the best old school pizza places and a prime example of Chicago style thin crust.

This place has some pretty decent food, but their customer service is TERRIBLE. Last night was the 3^rd time that I made an order, waited at least 20 – 30 minutes for a pizza, only to get to the car only to see they made my order wrong. The other 2 times they did this, I just gave it back to them and ordered a slice of cheese pizza, that they still made me pay full price for. You’d think after them making you wait for something you didn’t ask for that they’d cut you a break on something else for the time you spent waiting. Nope. Not at all. Last night was the last time this place gets my business. I asked for a refund. It’s like you tell them what you want on your pizza and they put whatever they want on your pizza. Terrible service. The employees are terrible as well. The act like you’re bothering them by coming in to their establishment for service. I refuse to give Damenzo’s another dollar and I wish I could personally resolve this matter with the owner. THREE times I’ve waited for a pizza only for it to be something I didn’t order!

Best Cheesy Beefs in the city hands down. Try them, and you will not be disappointed.

Definitely a better choice than the bland tasting Bacci’s Pizza from across the street. Pricing on their huge slices of pizza is a better deal than Bacci, too. Their pizza bread is priced low and it is tasty. The regular crust on a fresh ordered whole pie is a little thick for my tastes so I order extra thin… and it still ain’t thin enough for me. They could be a little more consistent with how their pizzas are churned out. That said, I still dig this place.

The pizza slices are tasty and absolutely huge!!! The establishment provides a large variety of different foods to eat. I don’t recommend eating at the restaurant, the décor isn’t very inviting, but the food is fantastic. It’s an excellent spot for take-​out orders. I recommend the pizza, one slice will have you full for hours. It is the largest slice of pizza that I have ever eaten. I definitely recommend trying their food for the experience.

I used to work within a few blocks of this place and I was addicted to the pizza. Damenzo’s was responsible for +20 lbs back in the day LOL! If you want a great, quick slice of pizza the size of a place mat check them out. I also had a little crush on Dom back then so that added to the experience! Nice people, good comfort food at a great value.

Ordered lunch delivery from here for the office. 8 different orders and the food was here in under 30 minutes… That’s pretty much unheard of so if you’re looking for fast delivery and live within a couple miles, this is your spot. I had a grilled chicken salad which came with a ton of fresh mozzarella cubes and ripe tomatoes. The chicken was well seasoned and a large portion. They didn’t put salad dressing in with the order but we had some in the fridge so it’s all good. Also tried a bite of veggie pizza which was awesome. It was still plenty hot which you can’t always count on if you get delivery. Everyone who got them also seemed to love their beef sandwiches. They have a bunch of vegetarian options as well. Would definitely order from Damezo’s again.

Damenzo’s Pizza has a soft place in my heart. They delivered pizza for my nursing group for over 15 years. Always wonderful pizzas and deliveries. Nowadays, I purchase their pizza’s for my birthday parties. Just absolutely delicious pizza. I highly recommend this business!

This is a disgrace to the tradition of Chicago Pizza. I was up late at my hotel while in town and opted to try Damenzo’s since it was open late and delivered. As a former Chicagoan, I love and miss genuine Chicago pizza. I ordered a deep dish pepperoni. Such a disappointment: flavorless crust with no body or depth, mediocre sauce and cheese. It was more like a NY-​Style pizza jammed into a pan and then baked. Not worth the $ 20 I paid for it. Do yourself a favor and choose another pizza place in town: almost any option would be better.

The best pasta in town. My bf and I lived right up the street from here and we’d have dinner here quite a bit. The pasta is delicious, the portions are huge! So be prepared for left overs. Try the chicken Alfredo, that’s our favorite!

I’ve been coming to Damenzo’s for years!!! My father introduced me to the place when I was a little girl. He’d bring us here for the biggest slice of pizza and Italian beefs. I’ve never had a bad issue with the service it’s usually pretty good. The food is always HOT and fresh!
You can watch them make the food also!!! I remember as a kid coming in here watching the guys flip the pizza dough in the air. Today I called my order in after my younger cousin had them deliver her a small pizza. I was unaware that they delivered so I immediately jumped on the phone to place an order. The delivery charge is $ 4.50 so I ended up just coming in and picking up my food.
Great food!!!

I put four stars because of the behemoth of a sandwich I got from here! I ended up with the Damenzo Sandwich (#1), which had mortadella, salami, and something else that I can’t remember right now… I watched the entire time they made the sandwich, and the veggies were so fresh and so clean clean! And oh my god are they GENEROUS! I ate a quarter of the sandwich and was stuffed. I did not eat anything else for the remainder of my six hour drive home. What a pleasant surprise!
I guess the only negative thing I can say is about myself, which is that I did not try any pizza :)

This banquet hall is just hands down amazing! I just attended a wedding there this past Saturday. Although I never even knew this place existed because it is well hidden between other buildings, the inside is just gorgeous! It brings a chicago urban vibe along with gorgeous architecture plus intimacy. The bar was big, although they probably should have had two bartenders. The fettuccine alfredo and chicken parm were soooo good too. Loved the layout and brick walls.
Friendly staff, great for a wedding or party, awesome mezzanine level for a dj so they aren’t in the way.

Italian joint with some Mexican fare. Tacos and tostadas or pizza and pasta… and so much more.
The hubs was treating because he is always craving pizza. It’s $ 4 total (including tax) for a jumbo, and I mean JUMBO, slice of pizza. The pizza by the slices only come with one topping; pepperoni, sausage or plain ol’ cheese. We each got our own. It is such a big slice that I ended up sharing a fair amount of mine with the two little fur babies and I was still pretty full afterwards.
The crust is damn near amazing, better than the place down the block’s crust IMHO. It’s hand tossed thin crust and baked to perfection. The crust held up all on it’s own, I could eat it one handed without a mess. I only wish they offered more by-​the-​slice topping variety. I love my pizzas topped with lots of veggies… but I’d still choose this over the place down the block.

I’ve been going here since my days living across the street while a student at UIC. Their pizza slices are HUGE… and that’s an understatement when I say that. For just over $ 3 a slice, you can feed about 3 people with that same slice!
Not the best pizza I’ve ever had but worth the money especially if you are in the area.
