Best pizza in the area!! We’ve tried probably 5-6 spots over the last few months and there’s a couple good spots, but Penguinos is the tops. Delicious breadsticks too. Perfectly crispy crust, good sauce, well seasoned cheese, nothing bland. Tasty pizza through and through!!

Of course I had to try a place with a near perfect rating. Owner was really nice. Ordered thin crust. I really appreciated that the toppings were placed and not thrown onto the pizza. Pizza was very good but not the best I’ve had. The crust was just too dry for me, especially the outer pieces. Definitely worth trying though and deciding for yourself.

We love Penguino's Pizza! This is a staple in our pizza rotation. The breadsticks are amazing. We love the pizza, especially the buffalo chicken & the sausage/pepperoni. Mr. Penguino is very kind and the pizza is always on time & fresh! I highly recommend this location!

Hands down the best thin crust in the Northwest burbs. Pizza was fully loaded with delicious pepperoni slices. The sauce complimented the crust in a great way. Crust so amazing that you could literally eat the edges with ranch or something. I mentioned the book Pizza City USA to the owner and he actually pulled out a copy of the book. Cool, friendly guy who took care of us. Highly recommend this pizza joint if anywhere near the area. We drove 17 miles one way from Chicago to try Penguino's and we both agreed it was worth the drive.

Questions & Answers

Why do they cut the pizza pie into squares? It should be pie cut.

Chicago style thin crust is usually cut into squares. This is done because chicago area pizza places are stubborn and a little dumb. I once had a manager of a chicago pizzareia tell me she "cant guarantee it will be pie cut". The excuse these brainiacs use is "that's how we've always done it". Its dumb, it complicates the cut, and almost no one prefers it.
