    During my recent visit to Danny's Pizza Place, I had the pleasure of experiencing their culinary delights and let me tell you, it was a spicy pizza extravaganza that left me craving more! The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with comfortable seating and a casual vibe. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal with friends or family. The prices were reasonable, considering the quality and portion sizes, making it a fantastic value for the experience. I decided to go for their specialty, the spicy pepperoni thin crust pizza, and I was blown away by its incredible flavors. The thin crust was beautifully crispy, providing the ideal foundation for the mouthwatering toppings. Each bite was a burst of spicy goodness, with the pepperoni delivering a satisfying kick that tantalized my taste buds. The perfect amount of cheese and sauce complemented the flavors, creating a harmonious blend that kept me reaching for slice after slice. To accompany my pizza, I also ordered the loaded potato wedges, and they were an absolute game-changer. The wedges were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, topped generously with melted cheese, bacon bits, and a dollop of sour cream. The combination of flavors and textures was simply divine, making it a heavenly side dish that perfectly complemented the pizza. Danny's Pizza Place truly exceeded my expectations. It's a must-visit destination for pizza enthusiasts looking to satisfy their cravings for bold and flavorful combinations. If you're searching for a pizza haven that delivers on both taste and service, look no further than Danny's Pizza Place. Their spicy pepperoni thin crust pizza and loaded potato wedges are a match made in culinary heaven. I can't wait to return and indulge in their other enticing menu options!

    We were greeted and seated quickly. Ordered vegetable thin crust pizza, fresh veggies and it was good. Barbecue and mango habanero wings were also good. The Italian beef egg rolls fell short, for $15.50 where’s the beef? It wasn’t enough meat but a lot of giardiniera. Unknowing a 3.9% Credit Card Processing fee was added.

    Food: Definitely Delicious. Came out in a timely manner. Price: Too much in my opinion. Atmosphere: Slightly boring. Only open from 2pm-10pm? I was 1 of 3 people at the bar and there was very minimal attention/conversation from servers. Worst part… the fruit flies. Constantly hovering over my food.

    This was the best pizza I've had in a very long time! I ordered delivery and it was made the exact way I ordered it. The girl answering the phone was congenial and helpful as well. I can't wait to get my next pizza there. Normally Chicago loads for us truck drivers can be a pain, but now I have something to look forward too. Bravo Danny's for doing a great job!

    First time in Chicago, and we wanted the best…we got the best. My wife wanted a deep dish and it was amazing. The wings were phenomenal, and the local beer was refreshing. Will recommend this place to everyone coming into town via midway!

    If you like warm beer and no alcohol in your mixed cocktails, this is the place for you! Let me add that our food was incorrect when delivered to our table. This experience was a half an hour of my life I will not get back! The nasty, uneducated “Manager” did not help! We’ve patronized this establishment since 1996. I can say, this will be the last! I will certainly have fellow patrons share the same sentiment.

    Nice spot to watch a game with friends. Went during a football game, food came out quick and as described. I tried the fig and jam burger with Parmesan tater tots. Burger was cooked well and flavorful

    Great service and great food. We had the sampler as an appetizer. The Italian egg rolls were delicious. The star of the sampler was the wings. They were full of flavor and covered in sauce. We also had the pizza! It’s so good! Nice thin and crispy. Would highly recommend.

    I love to decorate!! The service was great! Very nice, clean, and friendly!! I didn't really like the pizza but the cheese dip was good, the fries tasted old and like reheated. I would go back again though.

    Ordered a pizza with whole pepperoni, and sausage and mushroom on one side and there were no mushrooms on the pizza. Paid extra for those mushrooms. Otherwise it was a good tasting pizza.

    Their pizza is usually great but today it has no sauce the chicken was not seasoned an the spinach is very undercooked. I don’t know if they have a new cook or what but might be my last order for a minute!!!

    Terrible compared to the original Danny’s, when Stefano ran the place. They used to be the most affordable and delicious pizza on the south side and their pizza puffs were the absolute best and the atmosphere was also great. Now it’s a way overpriced, corn meal infested dough fest that doesn’t taste at all the same. All the best to them though, they seem to be doing well

    How is this a 4.4 star average? This place has mediocre pizza. The rest of the food is less than mediocre. The people going here and rating it higher than 2 stars definitely have low standards. You have to park across Archer if you aren’t lucky enough to find a street spot out front. There are better options in the area. Skip this place, you’ll thank me later.

    Giving two stars because chips are good. Our last 3 pizzas have been over cooked. Dry, not cheesy, taste like the pizza box. What's happening,,, use to be a great place for pizza, not anymore, 3 terrible pizzas, like 3 strikes your out...

    We absolutely love the pizza here. The crust and sauce are addictive! They deliver super fast as well. We tried other items on the menu and everything was great! Southwest salad, sweet potato fries, all amazing!!! Prices are reasonable as well.

    I've been going here for over 30 years!! I moved out of state so I wasn't there for a while. Finally came back after it was remodeled. I love it there!! The staff is awesome! The food is awesome!! I live in Indiana and we drive to Danny's in Chicago for their pizza. We won't order pizza from anyone else but them and we have four pizza places right by our house!! Jimmy, the owner is a great guy! You'll love it there!!! ❤️ PS, they were even very open and loving when we brought my Mom's service dog with us!! ❤️🐾

    Since I moved to Brookfield I have made this my favorite place and tried everything on the menu. Order the thin crust pizza, the wings and the Italian beef egg rolls... save room for homemade desserts or bring them home. Beer is cold, service is friendly, atmosphere is casual, and the food is CONSISTENTLY FANTAStic. Everyone I bring here LOVES it....

    I was told the pizza was good here from my cousin, and it really was! I had a mai tai cocktail which was made well also. I did a round of green tea shots for the table because they’ve never had nor heard of it before. The atmosphere was pretty cool and the staff were all great!

    Place is amazing. Never knew it wad there until a friend mentioned they were open for lunch. Had the Rudy Burger. It's one of the best burgers I've ever had. Burger was flavorful and tender, cooked perfectly. All the topings had a great flavor the fried onions were nice a crispy, it was awesome. Great food nice atmosphere and service.

    Nice pizza, good burger, great location (on Archer Avenue!), and pleasant people. The pizza -- we had a thin crust with pepperoni, mushrooms, and spinach -- was prepared nicely, with a ton of spinach and fresh mushrooms. The burger was tasty, and well composed. The servers were pleasant and efficient. Nice neighborhood joint.

    TLDR: Don't Order ahead or through a 3rd party. No respect for drivers. Poor time management. Coworkers suggested we try this place for work. It would be my first time trying (And now the last time ). We ordered through a 3rd party and placed for delivery at a later time (ie: ordered 7:30, delivery for 9:30). Place was busy and ignored our delivery driver, who was shy and quiet and couldn't speak English well. Driver got our order 30 minutes late because of this, seemingly because they started it fresh while they are there, with a 30 minute cooking time. Workplace is only a 10 minute place away, so why start it then when they had a time slot delivery is beyond me. The only somewhat saving grace was the food, as the pizza was good, but not good enough for the wait and unfortunate treatment of 3rd parties. The driver was nice and shy, as I had to meet them at their car and they were ashamed, if not worried, we were going to refund the order to get our money back. I wish I did, but we didn't want to cheap out the driver just doing their job. The poor driver had to use google translate and felt bad for even showing me their phone.

    I really wanted to like this place largely because they do have great pizza and the location has a cool atmosphere. This was my first time dining in with a friend and we both started with fried pickles and mac and cheese bites. The pickles were actually good but extremely salty to the point where we just couldn't eat them. The mac & cheese bites were okay, nothing to brag about. We both had burgers and they were extremely disappointing. I should have gone with my instincts and ordered a simple burger but I was intrigued with the fig jam burger and my friend had the spicy chorizo. To start with, the hamburger patties had very little taste. I don't know if they werent seasoned enough or maybe the type of meat used but the burger taste just did not come through. Additionally the pretzel bread sounds good but did not hold up well and fell apart Into a soggy mess. Needless to say we did not finish neither the appetizers or the burgers which is saying something for two big hungry dudes. Ultimately, I do feel that the burgers themselves were just overwhelmed with the amount of toppings in these specific burgers. It's possible their simpler options are much better and I'd be willing to give it a try next time. Lesson for life; just keep it simple.

    Danny’s has awesome pizza and wings. The pizza crust is good. The pizza sauce is the perfect sweet. Which is sweet but not too much. This has to be Garfield Ridge best spot hands down- fight me. If Nathan happens to be taking care of your table you are in for an even better experience.
