I love this place! I have been eating here since I was a small child (when they were in that strip mall on the corner of Dundee and Wolf) and have always had a fondness for their thick doughy crust, acidic sauce with a hint of red wine, and loads of cheese. Never greasy, always fulfilling. Some of their toppings come from a can (the mushrooms especially), but other than that this place has the best pizza in Wheeling hands down. I miss it so much now that I live in the city.

Came back to Wapaghetti's just because I wanted to try it again. It wasn't greasy this time around, and overall it was really tasty. I like their thick crust - it's like a breadstick! However, their delivery took forever, and they are so, so expensive (we ordered a small cheese/sausage and a large half sausage, half sausage & mushroom and it was almost $50!!). Yikes.
Another time we came to pick up our order. The inside is pretty disgusting. It's not like a restaurant at all. It wasn't clean or inviting. It was dead quiet (no music..no people). Not so much.
I like it more than my husband does...but needless to say I don't know if we will go back. It's good, but I don't want to pay that much for just pizza!! I can go out for a pretty decent meal for that much.Listed in: Best in the Northwest!, Pizza Pizza!

I grew up in Rolling Meadows and had a Wa-Pa-Ghetti's only minutes away. It was my favorite pizza growing up but then they closed and no other pizza has ever filled that void.
I now live in Prospect Heights and have had Wa-Pa-Ghetti's three times from Wheeling. The taste is sure the same and boy did that bring back some good food memories. However it is certainly not the same pizza by any means.. There is just way too much crust and bread and that bread takes over the whole pizza. I have not ordered from Wa-Pa-Ghetti's since and that makes me sad.. Hopefully they will lessen the bread and strive for excellence again. -

Wapghetti's is a staple at most Yelp events! They keep the pizza comin', delivered hot and fresh! Everyone always love the pizza -sometimes so much it's one of the most popular foods and they tend to run out fast!
I've also had Wapaghetti's at friend's parties when I used to live in Wheeling. It was around the corner from many of my friends' houses so they would always order delivery.
Good stuff! -

Their Alfredo Sauce pizza is simply amazing! Today, they brought us the wrong (but still delicious) pizza and to make up for it they gave us the pizza for free and brought us the correct order! Now that's customer service!

I grew up on this pizza and have frequented the Wheeling location since I was a wee lad. I would come here with my buddies and we would compete to see who would eat the most pizza. My record is 7 slices from the 18 inch pizza. The pizza is so unique and the crust is doughy and is often times discarded but ask them for some additional sauce and dip it in! The owner is super cool as are the workers. The food is fast and so is the delivery. The catering is excellent too. There is no place like this and I would gladly return to Illinois just to have another slice! and Joe is a Wheeling legend!

Wapaghetti's pizza has doughy crust, abundant melty cheese, and well-populated toppings. Their service is friendly and you get your pizza almost immediately-- plus, they have "samples" out that are essentially whole slices of pizza!
They are certified by the Department of Agriculture and are able to provide pizza for local school functions. They also have a good Italian soda selection, and we were given free Matt's cookies (mm!) to go with our pizza. Finally, they even have a punch card system that'll earn you a free slice and pop after 6 purchases of the same. Enjoy! -

Prices have increased but Joe still serves the community well. Try to catch the all you can eat deals...

I realize that pizza is an extremely personal thing. This just happens to be one of my favorite pizza's in the city. If you love crusts, cheese, and a super thick doughy pizza, this one is for you:
The crust on the edges is amazing and BIG. I love that dough-y bigness. This pizza is HUGE and topped off with a ton of cheese. If you can finish two slices, bravo! The toppings are baked in an excellent manner. I love everything about this pizza...the dough, the crust, the cheese, the tons of toppings I put in it (pepperoni, pineapple, extra mushrooms, green peppers, little bit of sausage) ...Oh man...I'm craving a slice right now. -

Last week I was feeling crazy and stopped here. They used to shovel this stuff down our throats every pizza party in K-10 so you kinda get this odd craving for it. It is a really doughy pizza with a sweeter sauce and thick cheese. So I went to grab a slice. On Mondays they have dollar slices. Jackpot. Wait. The slices are half as big so they should just call them two dollar slices. It doesn't matter because they are quick to sling pizza out the door and if you are in the mood for it great.
I have never had pizza like this anywhere else, so if you aren't in the mood to try a new type of pizza maybe this place isn't the best choice. -

Terrible pizza. The worst I've ever had. The crust is not cooked enough, practically dough and for such a thick crust there is literally no cheese or toppings. There are like to pieces of whatever topping per over sized slice.

It looks like they have expanded to a few other spots.
I have been eating this amazing pizza at this location since the year of their inception. The dough is honey-wheat bready goodness. Sausage is the way to go here and don't even think about asking for extra cheese. Believe me it's not needed. Slices are enormous and I am not sure if I am proud of the fact that I could most definitely beat anyone if they were to hold a "Pie-Eating" contest.
Everything on the menu is beyond Good. If you feel like a baked potato with all sorts of toppings on it; Wa-Pas is the place to get one.
Delivers to a large area too. Good prices. Friendly staff.
4 stars because I can't eat them everyday. If I did, a crane would be needed to pull me from my home. JK 5 Stars -

Wapaghetti's catered our office party. For 20 people they gave us the best deal for the best food. They beat out the big chains for value. This little small business will surprise you! Italian Beef, Garlic Bread, Pasta, Salad, BBQ chicken, and the better pizza in the Northwestern burbs. Courtney is wonderful. Very professional and took good care of us.

I have been going to the Mundelein spot since high school (10+ years, yikes). 9/10 times it's to slide in for a slice and a drink, or there more recent special of 2 slices and a drink for $5. Makes for the perfect dinner stop on my way home from the gym :).

Whose ready for some badass Sicilian style pizza? I am. You've gotta get ready to do a lot of chewing though. They've got some crazy dough that's ULTRA tasty to munch on. If you're not a fan of chewy dough the Sicilian pizzas aren't for you. Their thin crust pizzas are good too, but when I eat here I want the Sicilian. They also have really ghetto self advertising online which is cute. And nice staff.

For about five dollars they offer a standout italian sub sammich with chips, prefaced by a generous house salad.

I haven't had their pizza, but their sandwiches are quite good and are affordable. Nothing fancy here, just good down to earth food. Whether you go for the Philly Beef, the sausage/meatball bombers/etc they are all good.

The best Pizza in the NW suburbs! My personal favorite pizza. They know how to make good pizza. The crust is amazing, the sausage is ACTUAL sausage, not the crumbly, falling apart stuff at some places. Everything here is quality and the prices can't be beat. The little shop has room to sit and eat, and there is history all over the walls. The owner is really nice and the staff is too. Hands down good stuff! Go there!
