Little Joey’s Pizza & Pasta

Love Little Joey’s. They’re consistent and get orders right. Unfortunately tonight I got moldy bread with my salad. Going to order pizza only from now on.

I live in Evanston but am out this way pretty often. Probably been to Little Joeys 4 times, always for the Italian beef with gairdiniare, sweet peppers and au jus. Today was exceptional, the bread was superb with just the right crunch. Felt like maybe they knew exactly what I wanted.

This is the type of place where anything you order is good. Not only do I eat lunch here but on occasion I also have catering for gatherings at my home. I love the pizza here and absolutely crave the wings every Sunday during football season. I also recommend the the chicken Cobb salad. It has all the fixings and they do not skimp with them either. If you’re in the Hawthorn Woods area and want something tasty for lunch I recommend you stop in at Little Joey’s. They also serve large slices of pizza for lunch as well that are terrific.

Little Joey’s is as good as it gets! Pat (owner) really cares about his employees and customers and it shows! The food is excellent and comes with great variety, there is something for everyone. This will always be my favorite place.

I’m from the north east and prefer new York style pizza. Their thin crust pizza was not that. The crust was cracker-​ish and the cheese was about what I’d expect from the freezer section of a grocery store. We were very disappointed.

Bread sticks are frozen ones Re-​heated. Spinach on the pizza was in MASSIVE clumps straight out of a frozen «brick» of spinach, beyond nasty and metallic tasting. I really liked this place and previously gave them a 5 star review but I am just disgusted by what they served up. Come on folks… You can’t make fresh bread sticks? Why was the marinara sauce ice cold? THANK god my pizza was half spinach and half cheese because the spinach side was repulsive with massive clumps of frozen spinach just globbed all over in chunks. I’m hurt and offended that they would serve this and be OK with it, come on guys. Go to the grocery store and get some fresh spinach, sauté it with garlic and use it as a topping FRESH and please not the nasty frozen brick spinach that grosses people out because it’s freezer burnt and almost black in color. The breadsticks were straight out of a box :(. I hate writing reviews like this, I really liked this place! I’m absolutely willing to give them another chance, please just sell fresh food over frozen, your customers can tell.

Unfortunately regular pizza and me are no longer friendly so I am stuck with gluten free pizza… and little joeys has a pretty good one. Not the best but definitely very good! They are friendly and really do a great job. My wife and son love their regular pizza and we go there on a regular basis.

Great crust! NOT ENOUGH SAUCE! Over all, worth a shot. Ask for extra sauce when ordering. The crust is a corn meal blend, which is fairly unique. Probably best pizza in area!

Food is ok but I’ve had the bill total come out incorrect twice… shady if you ask me… buyers beware…

Pasta and Salad is excellent as well. .my wife raved the Cobb salad and spaghetti. She is not a fan of spaghetti normally but loved LJ’s. The marinara was so good and tasted homemade.

For years now, Little Joeys has been my go to caterer for all of our parties. When we entertain, the guest list is usually so large, that there is no way I would attempt to prepare the food on my own. We have a large Greek and Italian family with the sterotypical robust appetites and high expectations of what they are about to consume. Historically, everyone at our parties comments on how delicious the food was and how the venue always hits the spot! I want to personally thank Pat for always going that extra mile to ensure not only our satifaction, but also to make certain that everything is the way that I had hoped for and envisioned. I would whole heartedly recommend Little Joeys for all of your catering needs. I assure you, you will become a return customer, just as we have for well over seven years.

Great pizza. Always served hot. Sometimes takes a little long for delivery. Nice variety of menu offerings.
