DeSalvo's Pizza

Looked up great pizza by Northwestern University, and didn’t want same old Lou’s. This place was great. Amazing garlic knots, and yes get the ranch/marinara combo upgrade, you’ll thank me after. Small pizza 13” is good for one hungry person. Great under carriage and quality ingredients. I’ll definitely come back. A little tough getting parking on the street during busy times, but not too bad.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to love this place as much as I did, but everything was super fresh and packed with flavor. You can tell they really care about their ingredients. We tried the Green Dreams pizza, the Rabbit (veggie) slice, a Detroit Square, the seasonal salad, the seasonal vegetables, and the garlic knots. The seasonal salad was crisp and refreshing, and the seasonal vegetables were roasted perfectly with this creamy aioli that just brought everything together—such a good combo. The pizzas were absolutely delicious, and my favorite was the Detroit-style pie—crispy edges, cheesy, and just the right amount of sauce. You can really taste the freshness in the dough and toppings. And the garlic knots? Next level—soft, flavorful, and honestly, some of the best I’ve had. Beyond the

Plan ahead and order early on busy nights, it’s worth it. Fridays usually mean a 2hr wait, but they were awesome enough to accommodate us and had our pizza within 20 minutes. Great crust, quality cheese and toppings. One of the better pizza spots in the Chicagoland area.

The crust is amazing! The pizza looks a little plain (I wish it had more greens), but oh my god it is delicious. I added fresh basil to the raccoon pizza and I highly recommend it. The seasonal salad and veggie dish were both incredible. Really happy with my meal here 😚🤌
