Uncle Pete’s Pizza

Uncle Pete’s was great FEW YEARS AGO. Slowly changed to awful. I thought I would give them another chance… On June 25, 2016 spent $ 30.00 dollars on pizza that was HORRIBLE. BURNT CHEESE, BURNT CRUST, SOGGY PEPPERS. Called back and asked to talk to manager. I was informed that there is a NEW OWNER. The staff did not know how to pronounce the name. Asked to have him call me… no calls. I do not want my money back or another pizza. They just lost my business.

Uncle Petes has a special thing on me when I was a kid my family got uncle Petes every Friday night. Still stop in every summer when I come to vacation in Chicagoland. Uncle Petes sausage and pepperoni is my favorite. After 20 some years of eating uncle Petes it’s still one of my favorites

I have not had pizza from Uncle Pete’s for years and years. I used to order it ages ago, so I decided to give it a try again.
First impression was not too good with the girl taking the order over the phone. I guess that my order for a sausage and mushroom pizza to be picked up was too complex for her. Had to repeat it multiple times and then as she was hanging up had to ask her when it might be ready which was another stumper for her.
Picking up the pizza was also a mini adventure.
As for the pizza… I did not like it. Not the crust, not the sauce, and it was just not cooked that well. They must have cold spots in their oven.
Not much else to say other than there are much better options out there.
Cheers to ALL

Wanted to order a late night pizza for myself and my wife & have been going to Uncle Petes for quite a while since living in Addison. Tonight when we went on Unilocal and saw that they were open until 11:30 we thought, why not. So we called at 10:25 & a (I was about to put gentleman but this was an arrogant prick who answered so) inconsiderate asshole by the name of Gary answered the phone. I said I wanted to place an order for delivery, and his response was that they were closed. I then told him that the website said they were open until 11:30 PM. He said he knew nothing about a website and when I explained their restaurant was on Unilocal he said «Well what the hell do you want me to do stay open later?» My very pregnant wife at this point is pissed as hell and wants her damn pizza so she grabbed the phone and asked «Why would you answer the phone if you’re closed?» To whomever decided to answer the phone at uncle Petes, get the pool cue out of your ass & don’t turn away customers who have been coming there for years & have always gotten great service. Thanks to your shitty attitude, I’ve taken my business to a much nicer, more professional pizzeria who actually is happy to take an order for delivery, regardless of what time it is. Money is money my friend, day or night you should never want to reject someone who’s willing to pay a decent amount for a pizza. But now that I think about it your pizza AND food was garbage most of the time anyway. I sincerely hope and pray that if you really don’t know what Unilocal is (which, are you living under a fucking rock) that someone, somewhere shows you this review and you understand that you sir, are a douche bag & this is why I will never return. PS, shouldn’t you consider being open until Unilocal says you are considering there are PLENTY of pregnant women out there who are going to wake up at 1030 at night hungry as hell for some pizza?! End rant.

The best pizza I’ve had in years. We order x-​large with onion green pepper and mushroom. You could taste the onion but it didn’t overwhelm the pie. The green pepper ended up a combo of green and yellow peppers and the mushroom was fresh cut no caned crap. The price was cheap compared to other local spots. My best friend God rest his soul loved this place till the end now I will also

I remember this place being good… granted, that was a couple of decades ago… but I went in for a couple of slices during lunch.
I paid first (that was my big mistake). The guy behind the counter apparently only had 1 slice of sausage pizza available. But, he did have a trick up his sleeve… He had some left over from the night before in the refrigerator… and he didn’t try to hide what he was doing… I guess I was sort of shocked, but took the slices. The fresh one was just ok, nothing to write home about, but WHY, when you have a business are you so cheap that you give someone a piece of crap leftover pizza. If I had some left in my refrigerator, that’s one thing, but I would expect it to taste like that… TERRIBLE. NEVER AGAIN!!!

We really enjoyed our pizza. The crust was slightly crispy, the cheese was loaded on top, and their pepperoni and sausage was thick and had a lot of flavor. Tip: a large pizza is 14″. If you would like a bigger pizza, order a 16 or 18″.

Not crazy about the location which has a very cramped parking lot (minor issue) but the pizza is very good! My Dad gets pizza here all the time so I decided to try it for myself. I got the Uncle Pete’s Special which is a little more pricey than average but they’re VERY generous with toppings so you definitely get your money’s worth, I was full after only 3 squares. I normally get basic thin crust pizza somewhere else which I’m sure they make too but I liked this type as well which was more like pan and loaded to the max. This particular pizza has sausage, mushroom, onion, green pepper, garlic (not too much, just a hint which is perfect), cheese, and topped with a little grated parm. All of my favorite stuff! I’ll be back for sure. :)

The pizza here is really good! They use allot of sauce and cheese, the crust has an unique twist to it. They pack on the ingredients also. Simply just a good pizza!

Uncle Pete’s is always the very BEST! I go here just about every week and I always ask for Double Pepperoni and sometimes sausage on half.
Everytime I get it my whole household is all smiles! I have never had a pizza that makes my house smell soo scrumtious! I am a true believer!

Was in town last week from DC and had to get some Chicago thin crust pizza like I grew up with. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The pizza was good, but something was changed. I don’t now if it’s the sauce or the toppings, but something tasted very different. Will be ordering from Nardi’s on Addison Rd. next time!

I don’t know what happened but this is not the pizza I once desired. And I say «desired» because that’s how good it used to be. I just drove all the way out there on my birthday to have a taste of that magic pie. What I got was a crushing blow of reality. Things change and so do pizzas. Almost burnt cheese, super hard crust, hardly any sauce. At least the sausage tasted the same but that’s not what makes a pizza. I guess I don’t have to regret moving away now.

Their Deep Dish Pan Pizza-​Sausage & Cheese The Best!
It’s the pizza that they would serve in heaven.

Our first time ordering here. We did pick up of 1 extra thin crust cheese pizza and 1 thin crust cheese and pepperoni. I was very pleased with both pizzas. They tasted so much fresher than a Papa John’s or LIttle Cesar’s pizza. The availability of a coupon for a couple of bucks off was nice. I look forward to returning and trying some of the other items on their menu.

Top quality ingredients and not skimpy — very good customer service — good prices — especially like their monthly e-​mail blasts, plenty of good deals — also easy in and out with large private parking right in front — the owner Gary Sinagra is an active participating owner who is very much community oriented —

Here’s the deal with Pete’s. The pizza is killer! The sauce is sweet and they don’t skimp on the toppings. The wings are so-​so. I ordered the inferno and they barely had a burn. That being said, it’s not your neighborhood grab a slice and chillax sorta joint. I think they should step up their game a bit with the décor. There isn’t much space to begin with by the pick up window, but they have one or two tables if you wanted to chow down a quick slice and a pop. Then they have a giant leather couch against the wall and a row of coin slot, cheep plastic crap machines like you see in grocery stores. If that was my joint I’d at least have the space open up a bit more for some seating to grab the locals in for a bite.
Awesome pizza!

Upon seeing a picture that Andres posted on FB of a slice of «pasta pizza» that he tried at Bigby’s…I HAD to ask some details and all signs pointed towards Uncle Pete’s! Thanks again A! =]]
So I called UP’s on a snowy Friday asking all about what they could do for me in the form of a pasta pizza. I told her that I would like a fettucini Alfredo with grilled chicken, broccoli and sauteed mushrooms stuffed (well, pan actually, but you get the idea) pizza. And she said that they had just made the spaghetti with sausage pan pizza for the awesome guys over at Bigby’s so of course they could do it for me! Amazing customer service, I must add! I LOVE LOVE LOVE places that don’t tell you «no»…that’s like one of my favorite things in the whole world. Literally. Mainly cause I don’t like anyone telling me «no», but that’s besides the point… I LOVE it! =]] So I drove 45 min from VP to Addison in a snowstorm to pick up this like 7 pounds of deliciousness to find out the charge was only $ 27! A total steal BTW!
Now to the good stuff… the pasta pizza itself. It was awesome! Period. If you’ve never tried such a thing you must call UP’s and ask them to create one just for you! It was gooey, cheesy and had lots of chicken, broccoli and mushrooms! We had five people here eating it and still had about ¼ of the pizza left, if not a little more. Run… seriously. don’t walk… run to get yourself one, well, and I’m sure the run couldn’t hurt since the food to follow is creamy, cheesy deliciousness!!! HA! =]] Thanks Uncle Pete’s for making my pizza pasta dream come true!

The pizza is good, which is the only reason I continue to put up with such company disorganization. Constant delays and rude service.
Won’t have it delivered because the three times we did, it was the wrong order completely. The girl upfront is incompetent when taking orders and solving simple math adjustments.
Every time we have a problem there is no attempt to rectify the situation other than remake your pizza which is another long wait. Make sure they get that one right before walking away.
I would say try Rosati’s across the street or Nardi’s. Both make great pizzas as well and have awesome service!

Another round of Try Every Pizza Place.
Now, I must admit: I was wary of ordering from Uncle Pete’s. Why? Because of that creepy-​ass logo. Sorry, that dude looks like he’s about to pluck some of his mustache hairs out and put it on top of your pizza. Creeeee-​py.
But we figured we couldn’t really discriminate against them for that — Uncle Pete’s deserved a chance.
So a large cheese thin crust it was. Called in the order, went to pick it up 20 minutes later…
and it hadn’t gone into the oven yet. Say what? This place is approximately 2 miles from us and it took a full 40 minutes to arrive home with it. Sad. Some serious disorganization going on here. (Also note that when we called, and clearly stated «for pickup,» dude on the phone started asking for our address. Hmm.)
The pizza WAS good. The crust had some flavor, the cheese was nice and salty and plentiful, some good herbs on top and a tasty, not-​too-​oozy sauce. So four stars for the pizza.
But I really have to subtract a star for the utter disorganization. Large cheese, guys, pick up in 20 minutes, this isn’t rocket science.

F’in delicious! Great service, quick delivery, scrumptious eats. Home Run Inn? Sure– if you want to overpay for a pizza that is ½ the taste of Pete’s. I can’t say enough good statements about this place. They have a menu online at
I enjoyed an Italian beef & hot giardiniera thin-​crust pizza and some hot & spicey (yeah, spicey– that’s how they spell it on the menu) wings.
Only drawback? Hours of operation: M-​Th & Sun until 9:30pm, Fri & Sat 11:30pm.
