Garibaldi’s Italian Eatery

as a New York native, the pizza is obviously incomparable. the pizza was way too salty. when I say way too salty, I mean it. The thin crust was on point and they offered pretty freaking good cookies. I can not say no to cookies.

Soooo good! I’m from California and was craving pizza. Chicago pizza, I called twenty minutes before closing time and they happily took my order and delivered it super fast. The pizza was on point!!! The driver was super friendly!

While the people are friendly their burgers sound much better then they are. Biggest issue is the meat isn’t seasoned at all. The size was good but all items on them that where cooked had no flavor. The pickles where very good and the cheese fries were great. But the unseaseoned meat and sautéed onions ruined it all. And it wasn’t jus one burger but all three my family had gotten. So my wife got phillycheese steak and the meat was also unflavored. I don’t recommend.

I was in town Wednesday and stopped in. I was greeted by a super friendly staff. decided on the Buffalo wings and a slice of sausage pizza. a short wait later, the food was out. the wings were tangy and spicy. the pizza was perfect and I loved the crust. the restaurant was very clean and had a great feel inside. prices are very reasonable too. great job everyone!

I grew up going to Garibaldis and it is really the only thin crust pizza I like. It always is consistent good and cheesy. The sausage they use is classic pizza to me. The prices are super reasonable as well.
The Italian ice alone gets 5 stars since it is so refreshing, cool and perfect tart to sweet ratio.
It is a fun place for a family night and I know they do tons of fundraising and community things also. Any business that supports local activities and charities deserves a high five!
I just wish they still had the quarter game with the chicken in the middle. Please say you know what game I was talking about!

I love there pizza. It’s one I have grown up on. Although the lemon ice isn’t the same as when I was young, but is still tasty. Ravioli is on point and the garlic bread is awesome. Waffle fries are delicious. Steak and cheese, or steak and cheddar. Whatever item ever you choose you won’t be dissapointed.

An all around awesome place for some quality pizza. Great 50s atmosphere, always clean, well-​staffed. The food is great (pizza by the slice as big as your head, pastas, sandwiches, Italian ice, etc). TVs all around if you want to watch sports. An awesome staff who is always glad to see us, including Kyle (dark hair and a beard – a long-​time employee we always hope we’ll see!). Tonight Brianna helped us out near closing time and brought out fresh pizza, Parmesan that she had already put away and took out for us, and she brought our food right to our table. This kind of customer service is unusual at most places, especially near closing time, but it’s just how all of the staff treats people here. Stop in for a taste of some good, classic American fare and stellar service with a staff that really aims to make you feel at home!

Very good place. Pizza was very good.

Been going here since u was a kid. Same great taste. Thank you for staying consistent. Also everybody behind the counter seemed happy and friendly. Thank you again.

Upon arrival was treated like a regular. The store has very bright with lots of neon around and clean. I looked over the large variety on the menu but decided to try the pizza. Ordered a slice of pepperoni and a slice of sausage. With 2 slices you also get a free drink (Coke Products) which was a great deal. You go to you table and they call you up by receipt number when food is ready. Pizza was very good but a little under cooked in middle. Toppings were plentiful. Overall great experience and I will return in the future. Peace out.

Stopped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised by this place. The first thing is the fact you get a free soda with the purchase of two slices, that is awesome. The pizza is quite tasty and recommend the priority over the sausage.

Everyone in the 15 square miles, needs to eat at Garibaldi’s once a month at least.
Interior pays homage to a classic, Americana diner experience. Pulls it off pretty well, cept the music is not exactly contributing.
But dat food doe. The fresh slices are perfect for lunch combos and late night snacks. Cheese to sauce ratio on point. Crust has slight seasoning I think, so pretty baller. Tried a sandwich too, not bad, good submarines with fairly good flavor.

Really good pizza, decent prices and quick delivery.
Had the cheese only so can’t say much about the other types of pizza. Pizza slices are decent sized too.
Would definitely recommend it!

Awesome vegetarian pizza and chicken strips! 4 adults and 2 kids shared an XL Veggie and 4 chicken strips, with plenty left over. These are serious strips, not that dinky, congealed, processed crap. Nice, big, juicy, and tender.
The pizza was equally delicious. I love the floppy NY style slice with fresh mushrooms, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, and olives.
An added bonus is the kid-​friendly atmosphere and fish tank.

My childhood came alive when my buddy and I made an epic journey out to Hoffman Estates just to come to Garibaldi’s Pizza.
They had a location in Bloomingdale years ago that got closed down. So me and my buddy were stoked to make a trip out here… we were concerned whether it’ll be the same as before or not.
My goodness it was just as good!
I wish they would open up more locations!
Highly recommended for a big family dinner or just a slice for lunch!

As you walk through the doors you step into a delicious time machine. The 1950’s welcomes you with neon lights, checkered tile floor, and genuine Doo-​wop tunes filling the air accompanied by the inviting aroma of fresh pizza. I enjoyed a medium sausage and mushroom pizza and took 3 slices home with me. Food was great but it’s the atmosphere that makes this joint a special place to eat. Hope to visit again!

We are new to the Schaumburg/​Hoffman Estates area, and have been in search of a good pizza delivery place. So, we saw this place on Unilocal with great reviews. Decided to get delivery. Our pizza was a HOT mess! Half the cheese was on the side of the pizza on the cardboard, but there was still pools of grease on the pizza itself. The sauce just tasted funny… Maybe too salty? We wonder if maybe they just didn’t wash the mushrooms before chopping them up and putting them on pizza… or rinse them off when thwy got them out of thr can. The chicken strips we got were soggy crust on the outside and pink on the inside. It was late when we called, so I’m hoping this was all just a fluke, but we will NOT be ordering from here again.

As soon as I walked in, I felt like I stepped back in time. The restaurant has a familiarity to it. The interior hasn’t changed much since the eighties.
My mom came over for a visit and I’ve been wanting a slice of Garibaldi’s New York style pizza for 3 days now. My boyfriend and I returned to have a Pizza Burger. I should not have listened to him when he told me it’s bad luck to go to the same restaurant, twice in one day, because he jinxed me.
I’m going to blame him for my reason not to like their burger but I think it’s more accurate to tell you that Buona Beef and The Assembly make them better. The Grilled Chicken Breast we ordered for our dog was OK. At least they don’t charge us full price like Portillo’s does for just a patty.
My mom enjoyed her lasagna with meat sauce. It was served with Italian garlic bread. It was too big to eat in one sitting. She took half her entire order home.
When my mom asked for a lid, we learned Garibaldi’s uses different plates for dining in and carrying out. I should deduct a star for not being cost efficient. They can allocate the savings to better hamburger meat.

Not sure why its taken me so long to write a review as we like up the block from this place.
The atmosphere is awesome with its retro vibe. Service is fast and friendly. I highly enjoy the thin sliced gooey cheese pizza and their spaghetti is good too.
Love this place.

It’s 8°F, I’ve been driving four hours on icy roads (I’m convinced Indiana only treats the Interstates), and I finally get to my hotel. I WANT an Italian Beef. If anyone has read my other reviews, I love Italian Beef sandwiches. I live for them. Looking here on Unilocal,I see Garibaldi’s is close by. Let’s give it a try.
Garibaldi’s is full of kitschy 50’s music memorabilia and a huge fiberglass Elvis. And the place is empty except a family at one end watching a football game on the TV.
But they have Italian Beef. And… I am undecided how I feel about it. Normally, the things come out of the kitchen wet and sloppy. This sandwich was sitting on a plate, sliced in half, and almost dry, but with cheese melted allover the top. Huh? Examining it further, the sandwich was toasted in an oven, hence the melted cheese. I believe they took the beef out of the pan it was in still wet, and placed on the bread. Oh that bread! It soaked the juices up, so it was crisp and toasty on the outside, and soft and juicy on the inside.
I am happily confused. I wonder if they will dip the sandwich if asked?
