Wow interesting choices for pizza! Pizza is definitely a matter of taste and preference!
I lived in and around Chicago all my life till moving here 12 years ago. No pizza around here has come close to what I am used to. Tried Belleview Pizza and thought it was pretty good, not great. Flippers gets a thumbs up for a nice thin crust and very fresh ingredients. Did not like Bravo especially for their price. Never liked Paulies never understood what people raved about. Toscanis is ok. Haven't tried NYPD Pizza , Giovannis is ok. Will give Legends a try. My very favorite that we discovered too late a they sold a year later was Phils in Belleview awesome food and pizza for Florida anyway. LOL Unfortunately I have found some frozen pizzas as good as any around here for 1/4 the price LOL Very sad. My favorite in Chicago was Gino's East and a place on Archer Ave called Chessdans Pizza (not sure of that spelling been a few years) but then it was hard to find a bad pizza in Chicago Some of the Mom and Pop ones were the very best like Alex and Aldo's in LaGrange Park. So that said still on a search for a really great pizza same goes for Chinese (not Asian fushian) plain old good Chinese! LOL

rdhdeleo, For a nominal fee, I will stop at the Gino's East on Higgins Road near O'Hare on my way to the airport on Friday to pick up a couple of pizzas for you :). Gino's East does have very good pizza. Not quite as good as my personal favorite, Lou Malnati's, but still very good.

Either Gino's East or Lou Malnati's would do quite well if they opened in TV. :icon_hungry:

Schaumburger there you go teasing again!!! Not nice! LOL Don't get me wrong Lou Malnati's is awesome also! When I lived in Arlington Hgts. I loved a little Italian owned place called Scipios! awesome Italian food mostly take out but I lived right around the corner from it. They closed and in the same strip mall opened up Marino's...omg best Italian food and pizza outside of Little Italy! I too agree either place should come to TV!

We love Giovanni's! They are very generous with the pizza toppings. Been getting takeout for 8 years and never disappointed. Highly recommend!!!

What's the address of this where is that here in the villages?

rdhdleo 10-08-2013 05:57 PM

Giovannis is in the same plaza as the Publix off of 466. Just at the other end of it.

rdhdleo 10-08-2013 05:58 PM

3439 Wedgewood Lane. They do make a nice antipasto salad!

Was looking for recommendations for the Best Pizza located within The Villages.

Yesterday we took takeout from Bravo Pizza located at Lake Sumter. Large cheese pizza was $ 14.50 with each additional topping $3.00.

Would be interested in hearing everyone's recommendation.

Just returned from Giovanni's in Wedgewood Plaza. Large Pizza w/sausage and mushrooms. . . . $12.00. Thin crust, very, very good.

Sorry for hijacking the thread...what part of Arlington Heights did you live in? When I lived on the border of Palatine and Arlington Heights I was parishioner of St. Edna's Catholic Church on Arlington Heights Road, just south of Hintz Road.

Interesting comments from Pizza Lovers. Reading through the posts I've come to the conclusion that Pizza is a personal preference with many varied opinions.

Keep the comments coming as this is enjoyable reading.
