Al's Pizza - Norridge, Illinois

Puppers P.

Paid my first visit here very recently, and WOW, does this place live up to their reputation. Decided to swing by on a whim to see what all the hype was about on a dreary, foggy Monday afternoon. Was helped out at the register by a courteous and welcoming young man, Joey. Put in an order for a 14" thin-crust plain cheese pie, and after a short wait, my pizza was good to go. The interior of Al's was neat and tidy with clean floors and clean tables and interesting photographs and other memorabilia on their walls. The place itself is quite quaint, but you can tell that the place is steeped with history and tradition. Took my pie home, which filled the interior of my truck with the most mesmerizing aroma. I was salivating during the entire drive back.

Tore into it straight away once I got home. Holy Moly, was that an amazing pizza! Cracker thin crust and dough with a very nice audible crunch to the crust and a beautiful undercarriage. But my goodness, that cheese is the absolute star of the show. Well-seasoned, rich, dense, and wonderfully fragrant. You guys got me hook, line, and sinker with that pie. I will most certainly be paying more visits whenever I'm in the neighborhood and also looking forward to trying out their other menu items. Come on over and give Al's Pizza a try when you're the neighborhood. If you're not completely blown away, then I'll eat my hat. Thanks again, Joey. Cheers!

Very good pizza slices. Piping hot and fresh. Lots of flavor. Lots of sauce. Prices are insanely fair . Nine bucks for two slices and a pop! Not bad at all. Place is clean. Staff is very friendly. Lots of parking.
Too bad mom and pop places like this are slowly going away. This place is great

The pizza here is delicious, family owned business and it shows , Joey is the best.

Quick story , I went in for a slice and while I was eating Joey was in the back working on a pizza dough and asked for my opinion and offered me a taste.

On my next visit I'm definitely going to try one of their entrees that are made from scratch.

It's worth the trip

Al’s Pizza at 8530 West Lawrence is my absolute go-to when I’m craving a traditional Northside zah! I just ordered a Sicilian pizza with sausage and mushrooms, and let me tell you—it was to die for. Check out the pictures above!

They’re known as the home of Chicago’s thinnest pizza, and they truly live up to that title. The crust is perfection, and the flavor is unmatched. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice, ordering for delivery, or catering an event, Al’s has you covered.

With over 30 years in business, it’s no wonder they’ve earned the title of " Best Thin Crust Pizza in Chicago". If you haven’t tried Al’s yet, what are you waiting for? Five stars all the way!

Great pizza and hidden gem! I've eaten Al's pizza many times and have always loved it. Stopped to dine in for the first time while visiting with family and I really appreciated the attentiveness and service of the employees, very friendly and welcoming staff. For my family enjoying Al's for the first time, they loved it as well!

Hands down, my favorite pizza! If you like thin crust pizza, you owe it to yourself to try it. Very laid back atmosphere inside, and comfy seats to sit down and enjoy your delicious food. They were super nice, too. Stop reading, and get eating. See for yourself! A++!
