I love this place!! My family has been coming to Aggis literally since before I was born. In fact, my grandparent's layed out their budget once they were married on one of their old paper menus, it still hangs in my Dad's garage.
I have been coming to Aggis since I can remember and they specialize in my FAVORITE pizza: Ultra thin crust! Now it may not fill you up, so you just eat more!
Jerry is awesome and always remembers us when we come inside, Tiger sauce is the perfect topping for pizza and their House salads are amazing!
They give the kids pizza dough to play with and their staff is always friendly.
Everytime I drive up (7 hours, from KC) we stop here and always will. Aggis for life! -

Really classic thin crust pizzas. I think maybe the best I've had in a long time, if ever.
This place has been passed down from father to son for 4 generations.
From what my, Aunt, Uncle and 95 year old Grandma tell me, the only thing that has changed about the place since the original Dad, is they got a parking lot in 1972. Now you can see the house my Aunt grew up in from the back door.
The green salad, as any salad in Peoria is, is cut bite sized pieces of iceberg lettuce. I would take a star away for it, but no matter where you go in Peoria and get a green tossed salad, it is always a bowl of various sized cut up iceberg lettuce, so I can just accept that and be glad that at least 1 vegetable I eat there doesn't come from a can.Listed in: You gotta eat right?

Growing up in Peoria this pizza was a staple in our family. A very unique taste and the Tiger Sauce adds an interesting touch. Every time we visit Peoria this place is must-stop.
The wait is horrible. Average time is over an hour to wait for your pizza. This has never been improved over the years, which is why I removed a star from the rating.
The other removed star is due to the friendliness of the staff. The bar staff is especially rude, and acts as if you are wrong and they are always right. They also don't accept credit cards or debit cards which is cause for another star to be removed.
But, it's a Peoria icon so I guess we just have to live with the negatives to experience an Aggie's special. -

If you like thin crust pizza, this is the spot for you. Otherwise head to Pizza Inn on Prospect if you like thicker crust - best pizza in Peoria over there.
The pizza at Agatucci's was good even if I didn't like the crust type, but I thought it was overly hyped and overpriced. Still, a nice place to go if you have kids and enjoy a more rowdy dinner scene. -

I've got a love-hate relationship with Aggies. Kind of an "insiders" thing in Peoria -- I usually see someone I know there.
Though the pizza is really thin and cut into tiny pieces and never fills me up, it does taste good. However, it's not what I think of as a classic pizza taste (i.e. not a lot of sauce or dough).
The front room is typical tavern with the background kind of like being in a church basement. For some reason the beer seems really cold there (maybe because it is cold) at any rate it makes it taste really good.
They don't take credit cards (which would normally cause me to boycott any establishment) which is a pain in the ass as it usually takes a couple of their pizzas to fill me up. -

Ok, not fine dining but the pizza and beer are good and it has survived decades by providing good service and good food.

An authentic neighborhood pizza spot. I guess it isn't for everyone, but I crave it. Get the Agatucci's special- sausage, onion, mushrooms, green pepper. The Tiger sauce is great on it- some type of oil. Don't go here unless you like thin crust- that is all they have. And don't expect over the top pizza combos- Aggi's is as basic as it gets, but that is what makes it so great!

Tony & Dan are upholding an outstanding family tradition! This is the best single crust pizza in the nation. Tiger sauce is the most unique topping I've ever tasted, and it enhances the natural flavor of the pizza. The sausage sandwich is an appetizer that will blow your mind! This place has never spent a dime on advertising and yet it's packed every weekend - the power of the referral says it all! Salute!

Peoria has very few good restaurants... Aggie's is the one place I would miss if I moved away. The "Special" is the best pizza ever, especially topped with Tiger Sauce (their own vinegar and oil dressing). There is an almost smoky flavor in the awesomely thin crust, and it's not overflowing with sauce. Of course, you could always ask for more if you wanted it. The atmosphere stinks; it's hot in some areas during the summer and cold during the winter; the staff sometimes seems to be in too much of a hurry to care about your experience (except Angie... She's awesome and always friendly); you'll DEFINITELY have a wait on the weekend if you don't make a reservation or get there during an off-hour.... But I don't care. The pizza is awesome enough to make up for it, and you just have to deal with the fact that the food runs the place. One of the waitresses also says the fried chicken is secretly the best item on the menu, but I've never tried it.

Aggie's is a hometown favorite but I think that if you didn't grow up on it you just may not understand the true beauty of an Aggie's pizza. I've been having this pizza since before I could walk, same with my dad and my grandma always swore by it. I LOVE IT!
Very thin crust and its easy to put away half a large pizza by yourself. It's almost always crowded and unless you want to fight for a table come early or late to try to avoid some of the crush.
I have since moved out of state and everytime I am in town it's a must have. I recommend it to anyone who likes thin crust pizza. -

Based on reviews and word of mouth recommendations I was expecting much more. Frankly the pizza was only average in my book. The crust was good, but I found the sauce bland and the toppings were of only average quality. The most interesting aspect of the ambiance was the clock that ran backwards. The waitress we had was extremely dull and a bit grumpy. The other waitresses appeared much better than ours.
