Dan’s Pizza

Big shout out to the pizza gods at Dan’s Pizza! Tried it for the first time tonite and was not disappointed… The pizza was hot ingredients fresh and taste awesome… I recommend that you give Dan’s a try you will love it… Just a quick side note they deliver free to Alter Brewing Company!!!

I have been going to Dan’s for pizza for over 15 years and will not get pizza anywhere else. The ingredients are fresh, the pizza is consistently excellent, the prices are great, and it’s a family owned and run business. The service is also wonderful. If you’re not in the mood for pizza, they also serve Chicago style hot dogs, Italian beef, and other local favorites. When I stop by there on Friday nights I’m part of the family. Oh, and their double decker pizza is awesome!

I’ve heard good things about this place and they’re thin crust pizza. So I ordered a pie from these guys for the Hawks game. They said the wait time was going to be 40 minutes, when I arrived they said it was going to be another 10. Got home to eat and it was still a bit undercooked. I was not happy.

My friend and I were at Alter Brewing last night, and one of the staff there suggested Dan’s when we decided to get something delivered. The pizza was great – perfect amount of cheese and toppings on a delicious cracker crust. Better yet, no delivery fee for Alter Brewing! Haven’t been to the actual restaurant, but the pizza was solid, and I would definitely order from them again.

moved very close to this pizza spot about 3 month ago and we have ordered from it at least a half dozen times — there’s a reason that we keep coming back and it is the awesome thin crust pizza. We will have to branch out some time and try some other things on the menu but each time we want to get Dan’s, it’s hard to not order the pizza. I’d highly recommend.

Good pizza! Will definitely try them again.

A lot of french fries and a lot of cheese on your italian beef and a great deal and meat on italian beef. Staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable and my family is happy we will definitely come back here.

Very nice staff and the pizza is stellar. As others have said, there is a cracker crust and mozzarella cheese. I now live 750 miles from here and suggest that you appreciate this place since they certainly know what they are doing. I now live near a pizza place out of state that can’t find my very large apartment complex a mile away. Dan has fair prices, they are comparable to the same items at chain pizza places. Some are lower. The pizza is not deep dish, but they do offer stuffed crust, which is a double decker thin crust. If you miss Connie’s it might work.

Really good beef combos and the service is always good. I like supporting family businesses. Keep up the great work.

We used to live within walking distance from Dan’s. We’re still close thankfully. But Dan’s has great pizza! We order it when we have people over and everyone raves about it. So good!

Dan’s is tucked behind in a little strip mall plaza by I-​355. He is friendly and his staff is too. He supervises all of the cooking and you can see right behind the counter as he watches over everything. I think that is pretty cool. As far as the pizza; it is good. I like it. It isn’t outstanding but it definitely is far from bad. The only issue I have with it is the price. Unfortunately, his prices are high. I understand he might have to do this being a small, independent outfit; but I still think their prices are just too high.

Fantastic pizza and service. Family owned and operated for years and years. Our firm has had the pleasure of being in close proximity to this restaurant for several years now and can attest to the professionalism and service Dan and his crew provide to their patrons.

The Chicagoland area has tons of pizza joints. Many different styles and types. Dan’s stands out as a true gem for pizza in Chicago. Before we moved to Lisle, our typical go to was Lou’s or Giordano’s. Once we found Dan’s, we crave it above everything else.
Try the Double Decker, Dan’s Special. Awesome.

We are very limited here in Lisle when it comes to good pizza. We order from Dan’s because my husband likes their BBQ pizza. It’s not a bad pizza place but the quality isn’t consistent. There are times when we order from here and the cheese is so stringy as it’s breaking apart and there’s other times the cheese falls apart in clumps. It’s strange. Just recently we ordered from Dan’s and I had a piece of the BBQ pizza. The bacon felt more like I was chewing on a piece of gristle. It was so gross, I had to spit it out. Step it up and be more consistent with good quality ingredients and this could be the best pizza place in the Lisle/​Downers Grove area. Because of the inconsistency in their food quality I feel 2 stars is a fair rating.

In my opinion this is the best Pizza in town. Family owned and operated, fresh ingredients, and great people. Not only that, but the prices are great. Great sandwiches too! Whet more could you ask for?

You honestly cant go wrong with their thin crust pizza, a staple for every football game or any sports event. :D

The BEST pizza in Downers Grove. Our favorites are the Double decker and the BBQ pizza. Clean, efficient, friendly place.

«mom and pop» establishment, owners are always the ones cooking the food, and the food is delicious! Quick to get you moving for lunch take out. There is little to no seating, so plan on grabbing to go. They can be in a bit of a rush at lunch so don’t be disgruntled by their possible lack of a personality, they are actually nice people. One of the few places that will make you ask in your head «why don’t they invest in a bigger place so they can expand into the sit and eat market?» kind of like angelos-​esque. the food is definitely good enough, and they are well established. Anyways, you’ll enjoy it back at the office.

I see you over there, Dan’s Pizza. Sitting over there all quiet. In that small unsuspecting location, looking like just another home town pizza place. Meanwhile slinging that pizza so good folks be calling their mamas.
On my search to find the BEST local pizza spot, Sharon H. and Stephanie P. told me about Dan’s Pizza. They were right, it’s fantastic! They’ve been around for 35 years and now I know why.
Last evening I ordered a Dan’s Special which has sausage green peppers, onions and mushrooms on thin crust. So much flavor. The onions, peppers and mushrooms were sliced perfectly thin, while the sausage was in nice juicy chunks. The sauce was just right. But the crust is amazing. It’s thin, crispy but not burnt, with that nice soft doughy layer just before the sauce and toppings. Just typing about it has my mouth watering.
I’m SO looking forward to trying more Dan’s creations. The menu isn’t huge, but if half the items are as tasty as the Dan’s Special, I’ll definitely become a regular customer.

After a busy Saturday of running around, the wife and I decided to cheat a bit from our Paleo ways and indulge. And what do we indulge in? Pizza of course!
We decided to let Unilocal guide our way, and figured we’d try a pizza place we haven’t ordered from… and so we were led to Dan’s pizza!
Ordered up on the phone, a 14 inch Dan special for $ 20, and 30 minutes for pick up.
Upon arriving, it’s key to note that this place is take out only! This is not a sit down restaurant, but that’s perfect as we were ready to chow down on some pizza and start our Breaking Bad «marathon» for the night.
Dan, the owner, was there talking to each customer, making sure that every pizza was getting out as quick as possible. We checked out the menu, and noticed that there was a logo on the wall that looked identical to one of our local favs — Papa’s Pizza… and it’s at that point, Dan let us know that the owner of Papa’s is his brother!
Per Dan’s words — the pizza is the same, except our crust is a little bit thicker. And true to word, their crust was slightly denser, but also carried the toppings a bit better as well… Papa’s has a shatteringly crisp crust at times, but Dan’s has a better balance of holding the whole pizza together.
Verdict: Great pizza, friendly service! Is it so different from Papa’s that we’d travel more for it? Probably not… since we have a Papa’s less than a mile away… but seriously tasty take out.
