I live right down the street from this place, and it is the only pizza place I will order from at this point. Their whole menu is pretty good, but the pizza is fantastic. I usually get the thin crust because my wife is a diabetic, and it is always good. However, the best is their stuffed pizza. I don't know what it is, but their ratio of sauce to cheese to stuffing to crust, is just perfect. I'd put it up there against Lou's or Gino's. They also have this very interesting creation called a Pizzalad, which as it sounds, is a salad made on a pizza crust. Everyone I have ever introduced to this has loved it.
To go along with phenomenal food, the owners Mike and Lucy are two of the nicest, friendliest, most helpful people you'd ever want to meet. They care about their customers and make sure you are taken care of right. -

I stopped in a week before a birthday party to check this place out. The prices are super cheap and I wanted to see what I'd be getting. I ordered a slice and talked with the owner, Mike. He was nice and gave me some coupons and told me he would make a personal sized pizza for the birthday girl at no cost. Since the pizza really was good I went ahead and called in the order a day prior to the event. I spoke with a woman (who I later found out to be Mike's wife) and didn't mention the personal pizza. I thought about calling back but figured we likely had more than enough food and I didn't like the idea reminding people to give me free stuff.
We're at the party and Mike makes his delivery on time WITH a personal pizza for the birthday girl. He actually remembered this detail. It was heart shaped with little heart shaped pepperonis. My daughter loved it. I was impressed with the food and the attention to detail as were my guests. Everyone commented that they loved the pizza.
So, if you have a lot of people to feed and want some cheap and yummy pizza look no further! -

This unassuming pizza place (delivery or carry out only) serves other American fare like sandwiches and salads, but I can't speak to those b/c I've never tried them. Having lived in Glenview for twentysome years, I had never thought to stop in even though I drove by it a few million times, but the bf said he's been eating Pappi's for nearly 12 years. He's not a picky eater, but he does know good food :)
We placed a pick-up order from here b/c my bf said it's his favorite thin crust bacon and onion pizza, and I will never say no to pizza or bacon. I like everything spicy so we added jalapenos also. I didn't go in to pick it up so I don't know anything abt the caliber of service or friendliness.
25 minutes later, the smell hit my nose when it was brought into the car and I was wondering if it'd be acceptable to tell a police officer that I was speeding b/c I just HAD to get home so I could eat pizza while it was piping hot. I bet if I let him smell the pizza and have a couple squares of the pie, he'd let me off the hook. (Side note: I love cold pizza too, but don't know if Pappi's tastes just as good cold b/c the four of us polished off the 18" pizza before it ever had a chance to get cold).
Instead, we made what seemed like a painstakingly long drive back (read: maybe 7 minutes) at a reasonable speed. I guess I do have some self-restraint. Still, having never tried the pizza, I told myself that all pizzas smell great, but then I popped a crispy corner of the pizza in my mouth with all the diced ingredients, perfect amt of sauce, which is really good by the way, and slightly browned cheese. Mmm... I'm smiling now thinking abt it! The second square I managed to remember to sprinkle w/red chili flakes and it was even better.
Try this place for their thin crust if you're in the north suburbs.
Low Fat Cheese Available Upon Request
Extra Thin Crust Available Upon Request
FYI, it's not like thin crust from Pizano's or D'agostino's. Theirs is thicker from what I can recollect. The aforementioned two have less sauce and chunkier canned tomatoes I think, but the consistency of Pappi's sauce seems more like tomato sauce and paste. But I might be wrong. Definitely not any chain delivery. it's not razor thin, but thin enough, and not too doughy nor too flimsy, but then again we only had 3 toppings. -

Ate here while on vacation - had the thin crust sausage and a canadian bacon, pineapple, and onion pan pizza. They were so delicious, stringy cheese and thick soft dough with slight crunch on outside. The toppings were plentiful and proportionate. The owner was working, very warm and friendly man, said he uses only the freshest highest quality ingredients, which many restaurants claim to use, but here I could really taste the difference. Wish we had a pappi's in california, until then I'll fill up every time !
