Had the BBQ pizza today. Â Classic thin and I mean THIN crispy crust. Â It was awesome. Â Great meats and cheese. Â The BBQ sauce is really good..not super sweet. Â Dan the owner was working, very nice guy. Â We will be back. Â It only has room for two people to sit so its carry out....but worth it! Â Enjoy.
Review Source:Not impressed. We ordered a veggie pizza and they told us that they don't have a veggie pizza. Fair enough. So we ordered vegetable toppings on the pizza. Â We were then charged separately for each individual veggie item. This ended up being one expensive veggie pizza. What pizza joint doesn't have a veggie pizza on the menu? Moreover, the sauce was just plain tasting and the crust very meh. I suggest Dan's update the menu and experiment with different sauces.
Review Source:The definittion of a hot dog is to be served in between a sliced steammed bun. Then often garnished with mustard, relish, onions, pickle spear, sport peppers and celery salt. However I dare to be different and prefer my frankfurter dashed with mustard sporting a french fry mohawk.
Its that simple! The greasy juice from the fries marry a great all beef blend of the hot dog. Resulting in a party in your mouf'.
The end :)
I can see Dan's Pizza from my window and have lived here since 1999, so I have finally decided to getting around to reviewing it here...
My favorite thing at Dan's is the cheesy garlic bread. Â It is the perfect mix of all the ingredients, AND it is cooked and served just like it should be. Â The bread is warm and firm, not soft or hard. Â The cheese is melted to chewy deliciousness. Â The garlic is subtle, not overpowering nor non-existent. Â YUMMY!
The hot dogs, Polish sausage, and fries are also all very good. Â They can be be bought separately or together. Â I usually get one hot dog with fries plus one extra hot dog. Â Hot peppers are available when requested.
I have never tried the beef, bar-b-q beef, or Italian sausage, but that is only due to my preferences for the items already mentioned.
Of course, the pizza is the main reason that people order from Dan's... Â The toppings are generous. Â The crust is thin or "double-decker". Â I have never had a Dan's pizza that was served at the wrong temperature. Â (Of course, I live nearby.) Â The sauce tastes more like tomato paste than some of the other local pizzerias in the Downers Grove area. Â If you like your sauce to have less spice then you will not go wrong.
The prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion/amount received.
Dan's Pizza is located just east of the I-335 and Maple Avenue interchange, so it has quick access to all nearby suburbs. Â They also deliver to a wide area and are open seven days a week.
Enjoy!

This place is average at best. Â I've tried this place four times because I have heard a lot of good things about it. Â I have been disappointed all four times. Â I gave it three stars because it is at least better than Domino's, but well below some of the other pizza places in the West Burbs.
Review Source:Undoubtedly the best thin crust pizza in a 10 mile or more radius from it's location. My wife and I only recently discovered Dan''s (past year) but have ordered at least a Family Size Dan's Special once a month (sometimes once a week) ever since.
The crust is cracker thin in a great way. The toppings are piled on. The sausage has a unique flavor that is outstanding. Chill and play some Ms. Pac-Man while waiting for your paper wrapped pie.
You owe it to yourself to try this pizza if you live within an hour drive of here. Seriously.
This was the latest stop on our cross-town trek to find a place for family pizza night. Â Dan's was pretty good, we will be back to try it again. Â Pizza toppings were good: it was not a cheese-goo pie, the peppers were fresh, and the whole pie was sprinkled with black pepper. Â That was useful, because the sauce was pretty neutral to my tastes. Â The crust on the large pie was crispy, on the small it seemed a bit chewy.
The kids all liked it, the garlic bread was popular. Â $35 for a small and a large pie w/garlic bread.
I'm not sure how this place has remained hidden for all the years that it's been open in the W -burbs.  Service is great - quick and accurate.  The "double decker" is a  delicious and unique pizza that, as far as I know, hasn't been duplicated by other pizza places for reasons unknown to me.
Review Source:Blazingly hot and fast, a large half cheese half sausage thin crust is exactly what I got in 30 minutes. Â The second you taste it, you know it's old school pizza. Â Sausage crumbles instead of huge chunks, and the sauce is not over salted or processed with 15 spice blends that ruin everything else. Â Super thin, $19 for a large would feed 3 people, 4 if it were children. Â With delivery came to $19. Â I have been a lou malnottis pizza lover for decades. Â I would take this one any day. Â Nice job guys! Â Can't wait to taste the rest of their menu.
Review Source:I've been getting pizza from Dan's close to my entire life. Â It is consistently good to great thin crust pizza. Â The sausage is incredibly fresh, and the sauce has a decent tanginess to it. Â Only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that the prices are on the higher end for takeout pizza.($17.30 for a large one topping). Â Look forward to another 30 years of getting pizza here.
Review Source:OMG- haven't had their pizza in years but so-o-o good!! We usually just get their beef and cheeses which are excellent but the pizza just hit the spot last night! My Hubby's been going to Dans for 25+ years and now I see why!! It's not close by but might be worth the drive! Nothing to look at inside, just a tiny old pick up lobby, just a few chairs and an old PAC Man game, very cool and retro! I definitely recommend folks!! Yummmmm
Review Source:Have been going here for the last few years - not your stereotypical "deep dish" Chicago pizza place. In fact, we always get Dan's thin crust, usually the supreme along with a mushroom only.
A few great things about Dan's pizza:
1. The crust is cracker crisp and thin - different than the flabby NY style thin crust.
2. The sauce is just about perfect, slightly sweet and with the right amount of spice.
3. Toppings are ALWAYS fresh (no canned mushrooms!)
4. Dan wraps the pizza's in a bag instead of a box. Not sure why but I love it!
I crave Dan's and wish there was one closer to where I live. Actually I take that back, I'd weight 20 pounds more if that were the case!
update: still great pizza but $17 for a thin crust cheese and pepperoni 14 inch? really?
yup- best pizza in area- although Old Tavern could also be the best.
they can make a deep dish pizza quicker than anyone around- and its great that they are a local successful business for so many years!
This is the best pizza in Downers! I thought I liked bbq pizza, but then I tried Dan's....turns out I LOVE bbq pizza (it's true; everything is better with bacon). There are plenty of places that are cheaper, but none that are better. Perfect cheese:sauce ratio, and the toppings are all super fresh. And when we ask for well-done, it is always done right.
Review Source:I've been going here for a few years.
My favorite thing about the place is that every time I go in there I see DAN.
Theres something about seeing the owner of the place cutting pizzas that just makes me smile.
I've had pretty much everything and its all pretty good but for definite favorite is the BBQ pizza. Nothing crazy or even that special its just a solidly made BBQ pizza with sausage, bacon, and onion.
Also I recommend bringing a few quarters and picking up early cuz theres a badass old school Pac Man machine there.
Do go, Dan is awesome and so is his food.
if i could give this place 4 & 1/2 stars, i would... i've only ever had the bbq pizza from this place (because it's so good i keep ordring that rather then trying something new) . let me tell you, i am not a huge fan of bacon, or bbq pizza at all. HOWEVER. holy awesome bbq pizza batman! i'll try anything once an my boyfriend really wanted me to try this pizza. thank you boyfriend! it was deeeelicious. the sweet onions and bbq sauce complimented the saltiness of the cheese and meat - perfectly. i've reordered this pizza a few times and will be ordering again for sure.
Review Source:I admit my review may be a bit biased since I basically grew up on this pizza since we lived only about 10 minutes away. Since I can remember as a kid, anytime we ordered pizza, Dad insisted we get it from here.
It's been around for some 30+ years so they must be doing something right. Their thin crust pizza is very good, and probably the best tasting crust I've had. Much better than any of the pizza chain restaurants around.
Read about this place on Yelp & decided to go here since I was attending a beer tasting event nearby & didn't want to abuse my liver on an empty stomach. Â Its a tiny storefront within a shopping plaza. Â The pizzeria is a carry-out/delivery establishment with one sitting area and an old school Pac-Man arcade beside it. Â My 12" double-decker (2 thin crusts on top of each other) w/bacon ($15) took only 15-20 minutes. Â I enjoyed the pie & it definitely met my expectations, which were on the high side. Â The cheese had great flavor, the tomato sauce kinda reminded me of Lou Malnati's (not runny, little chunky, & seemed high quality) & the texture felt fresh. Â I was very happy to find this place & I'll definitely be a repeat customer, despite living 45 minutes away.
Review Source:Ok, the food is good, but hot damn has the customer service gone down. Every time I call to order something, they act like it's an inconvenience to actually get your what you want. If they had customer service that matched the level of their food, I would go there more often, but now, I just avoid this place because everyone seems to moody and put out.
Review Source:My parents have been going here since 1976 and I am pretty sure I started eating it as soon as I graduated to solid foods. Â
Of all the pizza I have had in the WORLD, this is by far the best!! Â The sauce is zesty and sweet all at the same time. Â The sausage, if you like that sort of thing, is the best quality and best tasting I've ever had. Â (So take that New York!) Â And the thin crust is crispy and never flimsy. Â
They're not a chain and the ingredients are the finest quality out there. Â If it seems a little expensive, no worries, you are getting what you paid for -- PERFECTION! Â
Thanks Dan for 30+ years!
They have great thin crust pizza. Â They also have a rather large selection of other food. Â I had an Italian beef here once and it was great. Â You have to get the outlaw if you go because my brother use to work here when he was in high school and it is his pizza. Â The BBQ pizza isn't too shabby either.
