Linda’s Pizza

This was my first and last time eating from this place. They do not have much of a menu. I wonder if they are running low on cheese. I could swear they used America cheddar cheese on my pizza. Worst pizza in Joliet.

If they answered their phone… I might have ordered and had a review… called 4 times… rang more than enough times and no answer. Drove by and they were open, so not sure why they would not answer the phones.

One of my favorite pizza ’ s around. It’s not your normal pizza. I wish they still made their beef in house but it’s still good. The price is the best in town. If you like pizza check them. out!

Decent pizza, but their prices are pretty good. They could use a bigger selection of other food to offer.

Just back from both coasts and miss local pizza. Linda’s is ok: fresh, tasty sausage, fresh onions, canned mushroom (which I like), sauce is tangy (not malty like Aurelio’s). The crust is puffy though. I prefer a thin crispy crust. This was good.

Gotta get the thin crust garlic crust get it well done = delicious I recommend Lindas to everyone who says they want to order pizza!

This place is awesome! Very good garlic crust and the service is great. Solid go-​to for local pizza.

I ordered pizza for delivery from Linda’s tonight. I figured since it was so near a University campus, chances are it would be pretty decent. It was just ok. A bit expensive for what it is. There are better independent pizza joints in town.

John Mares I usually go to the Washington st restaurant but after what I went through last night at another pizza restaurant in cresthill that is on weber rd across from the dragonlite restaurant I will now spend my money at Linda’s .Friendly and great prices but most of all great food. I feel that there is always a time for change but Linda is consistent. But I have to mention if you want to be treated bad and like to be bullied when you’re spending your money or complain about Giovanni pizza then ezpect the jerk to ban yp u the paying customer or when he is wrong and tells other customers to mind there business then its time to move on good luck with that Giovanni s eventually it will catch up to you

Been ordering from this place since I attended usf across the street. Love their special pizza which let’s you choose 5 ingredients from their yummy list. Pizza is nice and crunchy and sauce is plentiful. If you don’t want to pick they will deliver for you for a cheap fee.

I grew up close by and ordered from this place at least 2 – 3 times a month. I haven’t placed an order since the end of March, and this is why.
On 3÷29÷2014 I ordered a large pizza with half onion and mushroom. I ended up with mushroom and onions on everything. I also ordered two beefs with Marinara and ended up with Gianara peppers. I called and called no answer. So I got in my car and re delivered their screwed up order back to them. I was told oh we’re closed we can’t help you and we don’t do refunds.
It’s a shame this quality went down hill with the new management. Just proof that people don’t care about actually working anymore. They’d rather lose the money and take the tax write off.
I originally considered calling my credit card company over the situation, but finally decided against it. The owner/​manager is a unprofessional in how he was defending the bad customer service the previous employee gave claiming shes the best and he trained her himself. Then again his customer service skills were quite lacking. Perhaps I really should dispute it on my credit card instead, just so I can order a book called «The New Gold Standard: 5 Leadership Principles for Creating a Legendary Customer Experience Courtesy of the Ritz-​Carlton Hotel Company»

A little background, I grew up in Joliet, I recently came back and decided to get pizza. I normally always frequented pizza by marchelloni or Lindas. I loved them both!
Flash forward to a few minutes ago, I just ordered by phone for delivery. I tried not to write this review but I just experienced the possible worst customer service over the phone. I cant stand when businesses act like Im some sort of crack head thats calling his dealer in desperate need of supply! Im a consumer that could (and definitely will!) take his money and business elsewhere. On top of that I will do my best to inform others.
Thats just what I got from here, got a rude unfriendly hello, asked if there are any specials (hint if you dont have specials just add the price of a pizza garlic bread and soda together and make one up)…I got an answer that went something like this «NOTHING» okkkk… He never offered to suggest anything, and asked my information like I was in the army and he was the sergeant,
I still ordered because regardless of the attitude I wanted to see if they maintained quality, the pizzas not here yet but Im rating them poor based on principal. If the pizza gets here and it blows my mind maybe I ll follow up but I doubt anything will shake the foul taste I have in my mouth!
and yes its sad i still ordered, but im starving and didnt feel like wasting time finding another spot. I need my pizza fix

Ordered $ 15 pizza and $ 15 beef roll — for pick-​up, to be convenient to them and not require a delivery guy to come out in the cold. Pizza was soaked in grease, so bad that the cardboard box was saturated. They should give away free Lipitor with a purchase. Beef wrap was burnt to where the top crust was black and crusty. I had to come out in 22 degree cold to return it. Asked for a refund, and rude little punk behind counter said the business ordinarily doesn’t give refunds (but did so, anyway — probably because he knew he was wrong). Never again. Too many pizza places out there to tolerate that type of customer service.

Not as good as East side location but will do in a pinch… The pizza just lacks the flavor and the love the East local has. So they get a 3 because they share the name!

Not hard to miss this place when you’re around the Raynor-​Taylor st. vicinity. The outside windows showcased the few awards Linda’s pizza won such as «Best Tasting Sauce» in 2 different years.
Its probably the most interesting looking pizzeria interior-​wise. Inside feels like you’re in a basement with the old painted-​over cement bricks, along with the pipes, which I felt gave the pizzeria a lot of character. You’re also right up-​close in the kitchen vicinity since its such a small building (more like one big room) with a small counter and 3 chairs for waiting, which is great, if you like seeing your food being made up-​close but, at the same time, the heat from the ovens can make it uncomfortable.
Pizza was pretty cheap as well. For a large (15″) thin crust with two half toppings came to about $ 12 and yes, they take credit cards. Service was also great, the owner (bald Italian/​city-​sounding guy) seemed personable and like a nice guy overall, along with some of the high school girls working there.
The sauce was definitely the boss here. It was very sweet and will standout from the rest of the ingredients. Cheese was slightly burnt, but didn’t deter me from enjoying it. The crust was thin, but not too thin and the best way to describe it was chewy. Great find in the neighborhood. Has been in the area since 1981.

The pizza satisfied. We’ll be back.

I LOVE Linda’s. Their pizza is fantastic, their Italian beefs are the best I have ever had. Every single time I come home to visit I seem to find my way in there for at least one meal. Get the beef with everything. It tastes like victory.
