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 food, the vibe inside is cozy and bright, making it a great spot for a quick bite or a casual hangout with friends. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.
Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Evanston—whether you’re grabbing a slice or sitting down for a full meal, you won’t be disappointed!

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.

DeSalvo’s uses third-party delivery services instead of hiring their own drivers. Because of this, delivery orders are often quite late, cold, and sometimes, don’t arrive at all. If you want to enjoy their Very Good pizza, I recommend dining in or picking up.

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

This Evanston pizza shop feels simultaneously new and hip while also feeling like a long-standing classic. The pizza is amazing, some of the best slices I’ve ever had! You can get pizza by the slice or pie, and they also have a gluten-free option that you wouldn’t even realize was gluten-free. The pizza and sandwich ingredients, craft beers, and hard cider are all local and carefully selected. I’m usually not big on sandwiches but the sandwiches here are so amazing! I’ve been eating them for lunch regularly now. There is soft serve oatly ice cream which is unique, dairy-free, and delicious.
This family-friendly pizza shop is doing everything right, I highly recommend it!

Perfection. DeSalvo’s Pizza is firing on all cylinders. The place is clean, light filled, hip, and cool. Great hospitality from the entire team. Even the Chef’s said hi!
Onto the food. Ordered some slices from the case (The Racccon, The Rabbit, Pepperoni, and some garlic knots) everything was superb. Perfectly foldable, high quality ingredients, flavor city. We also ordered the season salad and the seasonal vegetable. I HIGHLY recommend both of these, they were amazing.
I took home brownie and chocolate chip cookie as well as the Turkey Foccacia sandwich. It is no surprise that these are so incredibly delicious.
Do yourself a favor and go to DeSalvo’s Pizza.

We were looking forward to dinner during our visit to Evanston. We called to see if reservations were needed and the response was no “come on it” we paid for parking, ordered our pizza. Prior to paying we were told to wait to see how long it would be. It was an hour and 40 minute wait. They said they were overwhelmed with online orders. They don’t prioritize in person. I just wish they would have told us there was such a long wait when we called. I’m gluten free so I could not have the ready made options. Overall, just disappointed with the wasted time and money.

I ordered a large raccoon pizza and a standard small margherita pizza for delivery. The pizza was absolutely delicious. It had the perfect amount of filling. The pizza dough itself was well made and delicious. I will say, I do think that the margherita pizza needed some more fresh basil. The raccoon was kind of sweet, but the sausage, pepperoni, and goat cheese made it a perfect balance. I’m also a person that enjoys menu items with fun names. So the raccoon caught my attention right away. And since, I ordered delivery I didn’t score the atmosphere since I did not visit the restaurant. But the food arrived surprisingly fast. Overall, loved it. And I wish I could do half stars. A solid 4.5/5.
