Let me start by telling you that their online ordering system didn't work at all today. It kept telling me that the system rejected my order. I finally had a chance to phone in my order after waiting for them to open. The order was placed smoothly and with no problems. Set up a specific pick up time and everything. When I got there to pick up the pizzas everything also went smoothly. Upon my 10 minute drive home my phone started ringing, I don't take my phone out of my pocket while driving. When I got home I checked the message, it was from Wayne's. They said the coupon I gave didn't go through and asked me to call ASAP. I called back to figure it out and they told me that they had actually given me the wrong pizzas and that there was nothing wrong with the coupon. I drove 10 minutes back to Wayne's. When I got there I gave them back the wrong pizzas, I have no idea what they did with them, and they gave me the ones that had been sitting in boxes on the counter for almost 30 minutes that I had ordered. They didn't offer me a discount, coupon or to keep the other pizzas for the inconvenience. They didn't even say sorry. Another 10 minute drive home and I was finally ready to have dinner. By this time the pizzas had been sitting in boxes for almost 45 minutes so I really can't comment on whether or not it was good because mine was old, cold and chewy. I will definitely not be going back, but I do wonder if my pizzas would have been good when they were hot and fresh.

Started going here about 12 years ago when my brother lived in Arlington Hts. He introduced me to the double decker pizza - a definite pizza HOF'er! Well, he's quite a ways from this place nowadays, but fortunately I now live close enough to enjoy the goodness of a Wayne's double decker. I'm awarding Wayne's four stars because they made a single decker (normal) pizza for me once and it was just OK. Pickup or delivery only.

This is hands down the best pizza in the NW Burbs for your money. Thin crust is great and there is no skimping on cheese like the other pizza joynts do. Also, on website you can print $2 off coupons and walk out with a 12-inch pizza with 2 ingredients for $10 and some change. See if you can get this quality and price elsewhere, I doubt it. Do yourself a favor and try Wayne's, really you can't go wrong!!

Down a star, but why? Wayne's put on a pretty good run of stellar pizzas but lately the pizzas have been soggy in the middle. I don't mind a soft pizza but soggy...almost wet on a pepperoni pizza isn't a tasty meal. Will I stop eating here? Probably not but be on the lookout for a wet a pizza pie.

Delicious pizza! We always order the thin-crust sausage. It's a great value. Hot, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommended!

The best Northwestern IL suburbs pizza hands down. I've been away and coming back to Arlington for 15 years and always make it a point to grab a thin crust sausage when I'm here. The best Jerry, the best!

I don't understand Chicago pizza. It's either deep dish (and pretty good) or this other poor excuse for a pizza that the majority of places, like Wayne's serves. I'm from Michigan originally where we have delicious Detroit style pizza or normal pizza. I don't understand why normal pizza isn't an option in Chicago, it's either deep dish or thin-crust cardboard pizza with no flavor. The crust is like cardboard, the sauce is ok, the cheese is bland (is it unsalted?). We got a veggie pizza (spinach and mushroom) and there was pretty much no flavor. I've never wanted to put salt on a pizza before but I did on this one. The meat pizzas are better since they actually seem to have a little sodium in them. The yelp ratings of this place baffle me. Unfortunately, this is the closest pizza place to our house and anything within a few miles isn't any better so we're stuck getting it for poker night but I feel awful serving this to my guests.

One of the few places that truly knows what a crispy thin pizza should result in texture and taste. Also one of the few that offers giardiniera as a topping as well - try it you won't be disappointed! Sorry Wayne's!! I'm moving next month 30 miles away ;(

Good Pizza! Ordered a Thin crust sausage. Hot, crispy and cheesy! Carry out or Delivery only. I don't think they ever have any specials or coupons...

We went her based on a recommendation from a friend and he was right, this is the best thin crust around. Super thin, crunchy crust, big hunks of sausage, fresh onions and juicy mushrooms! In fact, I knew his pizza was good just by smelling it in the box. There is a certain smell that great pizza gives off and Wayne's makes it! If you like thin crust,this is for you. And that girl from Michigan who wants" normal" pizza, should go back to her home state and that rat-ass Domino's!

I love thin crust pizza and tried this place out with a friend. It's definitely a more carry-out store. The cheese is delicious! but the sauce was not the greatest. The workers were friendly and there were 2 tables for people who wanted to dine-in.

Amazing. The best thin crust pizza I've ever had. I've ate pizza in Vegas, LA, DC, NY, and obviously Chicago and this is hands down the best. Right now I'm eating their deep dish which is also excellent. The place is located right off of Northwest Highway by Arlington Park. Take-out and they do deliver. Pizzas, that's all I have to say. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and made to order. When you walk in to pick up your order you can even see them making the pizzas like a well oiled machine. The thin crust is so good, it's crisp, but not too hard. It's chewy, but doesn't get soggy. The deep dish is great to. Not like normal Chicago deep dish where you're full after 1 piece. This, you can eat 2 or 3 pieces. Which I love cause I love eating. If you're in the Palatine, Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows area, definitely go there for pizza. I'll update the review after I have one of their sandwiches which also look great.

So it's a Friday night and I'm chatting on the phone with a dear friend who happens to live in Florida. As I finish venting about our Chicago weather, I say that I wish I lived in Florida. Then I mention that I am going to order pizza for dinner. My friend says he wishes he were here, so he could order pizza- from Waynes! So I thought: Hmmm...never tried that place. Why not? All I can say is AWESOME!!

Sarah K.

The deep dish is almost as good as Giordano's in the city. We even prefer it over Lou Malnatis. Very fast for delivery or pick-up. Pizza reheats well, too!

Have ordered from here a few times while in Arlington Heights visiting a friend ...and I absolutely love their thin crust pizza! Always delivered nice& hot by a friendly dude, sausage has great flavor, veggies always taste super fresh, and the cheese is fantastically gooey :) Although i would love to see ricotta on the ingredients menu...this girl LOVES cheese... STILL AWESOME PIZZA!

Wayne's has been my go to pizza for the past 8 years. Great crust and sauce make for one of better thin crust pizzas I've had. Pepperoni, mushroom and onion are the way to go. The onion is sliced thin, not diced in big chunks, and slightly charred. Gives them a sweet taste you can't beat. Garlic bread is also very good. You have to try the Dyna-Bites!

Joseph P.

Wayne's has been a favorite for years now. This pizza is very good, and the service from the phone to delivery has always been top notch. I have to admit I order from Wayne's alot and its just good food. The Wayne's Special is always tasty and if you want soda in cans you can mix and match a six pack.

Our favorite pizza place, hands-down. The double crust is fantastic.

I live down the street, so it's quicker and better than frozen pizza. I've gotten a pizza that was a bit too crispy (burnt), but most have been great.

Steve m.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place. By far the best pizza in the northwest suburbs. Can't go wrong with just a simple thin crust pepperoni. Service is always quick and the people working there are friendly. Good prices, too. There is nothing to complain about--and if people complain about it--well, they're probably hard to please.

Had the pizza twice. First time pizza was very bland and had very little sauce. After coworkers bragged about it I tried again. Same as first experience. Way too little sauce and pretty tasteless. Wouldn't recommend

Deepak S.

i fell for the yelp good review and decided to try them out.. though the pizza was cheaper and the service was good... i really didnt like the pizza taste.. it tasted like eating rubber pieces with no flavour in it.

Andrea K.

Wayne's has the best pizza in Arlington. I cannot give them 5 stars because the quality is not always consistent. Their off-nights pizza is still vey good, but when they are on the pizzas are fantastic. They seemed to have cut back on the sauce and so to compensate I order extra sauce on the thin crust which is fantastic. However, I feel let down that I have to order the pizza to get them to make it the way they used to. Their thick crust pizzas are great too. The thick pizza uses a different sauce. Excellent sausage and their pastas are very good too.

Paul K.

I have been a fan of Wayne's pizza for a long, long time. I have never been disappointed. I only ever order the thin crust, which is crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, and the sauce has a great flavor to it. My pizza is always ready when they say, and the price isn't bad. My favorite PIzza in the area. It's a take-out / delivery place.. there's one or two booths in the front, but i've never seen anyone in them. The owners/operators are nice.
(5)
Brian S.

I have ordered from Wayne's for the last six months and I have not been disappointed. If you pick up your order, go to their website to get the $2 off coupon. Their thin crust pizza is awesome. Their pan is good. The service is good and they always have your pizza ready when they say, if not earlier. Looking for a good pizza, look no further.

Robert N.

Wayne's Pizza is an institution in my family, if you want the Best Pizza in Arlington Heights look no further. Its take out only and parking is in the rear, you might even miss it if it weren't for the Orange lights in the strip off NW Highway. I recommend checking out their website before you order, they usually have a coupon available to download and print out.

Pizza always delicious. The wings I'm very picky and they get them right all the time. Wings with bone medium sauce easy sauce well done with ranch. But what stuck out the most was I called at 10:50pm on a Sunday and asked if it was to late for a delivery. They wanted to say NO. but they took my order and delivered. I was very happy and grateful!!! 6 month pregnant wife was hungry and I had been working in nursery all day. I would never do this again but they helped me out by not having to go out that night and searching for food. Shout out to Jeremy S. driver who made it happen.

After driving past this place many times, I finally decided to try them out. I placed an order for delivery, you know the signature pizza they have and some mozzarella sticks and more. It was a long day for me after work so I figured that this would be a nice meal to be delivered to wind down to with some friends. After placing the order and charging my card, I was told my order would take about an hour. My mind was set, I was tired from working a full day, I was glad my order was done and placed so I could finally kick back. Well after about 20 minutes, I got a call back saying that the address where I wanted my food delivered was out of their delivery range, its literally two blocks past their cutoff. I was shocked they didn't tell me that when I gave them my address and here I was looking forward to a nice meal after a long tiring day and now I have to drive all the way to them to pick up my food? I was too exhausted and annoyed so now Id have to wait even longer to order food from elsewhere. After charging my card and having me wait a good 20 minutes already, Im surprised they didn't offer me a courtesy service and delivered it to me after making that big mistake on their end. I mean, it was only two blocks, I even tip really well. If they had decided to deliver to me after making that mistake, I would of tipped the driver even more as a thank you for stepping up and delivering. Now I know if I ever order from here I have to pick it up. In the end though I had them reverse the transaction and put my money back onto my card.

Wayne's features old school pizza with lots of options to make it "your way". Wayne's web ordering system is one of the easiest and most user friendly that I have encountered. Payment can be cash or major credit card- no checks accepted. With each order you get a "Ticket", save 4 and get a dollar off, save 8 and get two dollars off. On Wayne's website there is a print out coupon for $2 off any order over $10; be sure to bring the coupon with you if you do a pick up. They have only a couple of booths if you want to "eat in", otherwise take-out rules. Tip: Wayne's entrance is in the rear of the building.

I have grown up in Arlington Heights and NO pizza place compares to Wayne's! Even the delivery guy knows me cause I order from Wayne's so much. They might as well get half of my paycheck. :-D It is by far the best pizza around and their bbq sauce is amazing!! Keep up the good work guys! You have a forever loyal Wayne's Pizza customer here!

First time visit last night. I live in Algonquin but work in Arlington Heights. Ordered pizza half cooked. Four minutes under broiler was done. I have no idea why anyone would think the sauce was bland. It was GREAT! Sausage was good & did not go easy on ingredients even the peperoni! Parking is in the back but so is the carryout door. Pizza is thinner then most but not too crispy, thank God! The only down side was because the 16 inch was so thin it did not fill the two of us enough for am second dinner. Will have to try the double decker with the crust so thin it should be great.

Kevin S.

We've recently tried this place a couple of times. I really like the supreme/special thin crust. The sausage is great and the other ingredients seem nice and fresh. My only complaint is that even with a well-done pizza, the center of the crust on the underside always seems to end up pretty soggy, which I haven't really experienced with other places. Great pizza though!

Delicious! We ordered pick up and I should have told him to wait to cook it because we were coming from Cary. Even cold it was terrific. We tried the thin sausage and onion and it was not greasy. The onions were sliced thin and well placed on the pizza, sausage was generous. We ordered a meatball sub too. They stuff four meatballs onto the roll. They were tender and tasty. We can't wait to come back and try the thick crust.

Deeeeep Diiishhhhh. Whoever wrote the Best Pizza in Chicago is Wayne's and Lou Malnatis ....you are darn right!!!!! Truly amazing !!! THeir wings were great too!

They got it. Skills, that is. No frills. All pie. Worth picking up to go, fo sho. I'll edit this after I finish eating. Ok and here we go... The crust (ordered well-down) is almost a pretzel. So twisted, crispy, and not over powering. It was dense and firm so it held the juicy toppings of onion, green peppers, sausage, and spinach effortlessly. The fresh tomatoes on the top were so sweet and herbed. They melted like sauce. Sweet, sweet sauce. The toasted, gooey cheeses were so delicious. Not too much but definitely enough. The veggies were fresh and tasty. I LOVE THIS PIZZA!!! Even though they don't deliver to me, 3.3 miles away, I'll definitely be ordering more frequently. I'm sorry, now, that I've waited so long to order from these masters of pizzaology. My pie was ready in 30 minutes, or so they say, for pickup. I got it fresh out of the oven and uncut so all the juices stayed in the pie and not all over the box. On the passenger seat next to me it sat all the way home, still piping hot as I rolled my cutting wheel through the caramelized cheeses and crust. Five fuhhhh king stars. Word.

I have lived in Arlington Hts for 43 years and I would say they have served me and my family very very well ! the pizza is great and I guess I didn't realize you guys even serve up cheese sticks so the next time I am in I. will ask for a take home menus

Carl J.

This is one of the best places in the country to get pizza in my opinion. They have it all, super thin crust, thick crust, double decker (yes a real double decker pizza), and deep dish pizza. They really make a solid pizza with all fresh and some homemade ingredients. My favorite is an 18 inch with green peppers, pepperoni, and garlic. I've eaten a lot of pizza and not many can compete with Wayne's on their thin crust pizza.

I used to really like their pizza. Now it arrives cold. The crust is like cardboard. No longer a fan.

I've ordered here a number of times over the years mainly because the location is convenient. Their thin crust and double dough pizzas are only fair. The cheese is rather hard tasting and they are not generous with toppings except for the less expensive items. There is very little tomato/spicy taste. Some of their side orders can be good (onion rings, breaded cauliflower, seasoned fries, and chicken wings when they are hot and fresh tasting. They do not travel very well however and this is a pickup or delivery restaurant only. If you order these items for delivery watch out. Their delivery service is reliable though the food doesn't always taste freshly prepared (including the pizza). However if you pick up when they're crowded you can be ignored which can cause delays in getting your already prepared food. This place is substantially overrated.

We've eaten here since the early '80's. We love their pizzas both thin and pan. The sandwiches are good too. Love everything they make ! I still prefer over the bigger pizza businesses. These seem to be made with love.

Wayne's Pizza is a good go-to pizza joint for tasty carry out. More often than not the pizza is cooked well and is delicious. There are times (I think, perhaps, when they are busiest) when we get an undercooked, hastily made 'zza (ingredients strewn unevenly across the pie, soggy crust), but 7 out of 10 times we get a great pizza at a good price. There are some that do it better, but Wayne's is our first call because it's close, the guys are friendly, we get what we order, and they've been here forever and we want to seem them stick around. A solid "B" in our book.

Awesome pizza! Been going here for a long time. Just getting into this yelp thing with my new ipad. The crust is amazing and my cheese,sausage, mushroom, and onion never fails me. To many more years of good za. Keep it up. They also deliver.

Their double-decker pizza is amazing! But I made the mistake of trying the chicken fingers and was very disappointed. They were just tiny frozen ones made out of that "fake"-tasting chicken. I'd love to see them upgrade the quality of the other food on the menu besides the pizza, which needs no improvement!

I had heard about the Double Decker pizza. And within the week, I had one sitting in front of me. I had to try it to see if it lived up to the hype. I had also ordered it with Italian Beef, which I had never really had as a pizza topping before. So this in itself was really a unique experience for me. Well, the pizza was great. I have to admit, I was really bummed about the sauce levels. It was shy of what I usually like, but they made up for it in cheese. No skimping on the good stuff! The crust was a little bit tough to eat, but I'm thinking it would be a different story had it just been a regular thin crust. Side note on the fries; I wasn't a huge fan. They were kinda cold, and even slightly soggy. Anyways, I was impressed enough to be ordering up a second one a week later. I'll give them a second shot to redeem themselves on the sauce, and the fries. Should that happen, 5 star quality for Waynes pizza no doubt.

The pan pizza is so good! Probably one of our favorite pizza places around and the workers are all so friendly!

This is my number one pick for the best beef sandwich in the northwest suburbs. Whenever I get a chance this is a place to go unfortunately they don't open till like 4 p.m. If they had lunch hours I would go here more often.

I have eat and made every style of pizza under the sun from Chicago Deep dish to Detroit style, New York floppy crust, Neapolitan and everything in between. I've used brick ovens, gas ovens, wood burning ovens, the list goes on. I've worked at 4 pizzerias in my life (Including Wayne's) and I can tell you without a doubt Wayne's is the best pizza I have had, in taste, consistency and price. There's a reason this establishment has been operating for 50 years, because they never skip a beat. This is mom and pop quality, get in, get out "We're all about the quality of food." What to order: Appetizer: Good ol' French Fries Mozzarella sticks Chili Pepper and cheese bites Main Dish: 1. Thin crust sausage - Keep it simple if you're a first timer to this place, their known for their thin crust sausage. Don't attack the pizza with salt and pepper, red flakes or Parmesan until you've tasted it and THINK that it MAY need it. OR 2. Deep Dish Pan Pizza - Wayne's is known for their thin crust but employees and fans will tell you that their Deep Dish is just as amazing. I order Sausage Bacon or Sausage Giardinera. For the adventurous: Try a BBQ chicken pizza with onion, and some cheddar cheese. ;) If you want extra sauce, well done, crispy, or burnt the staff will happily oblige you.

One of the best small non chain chicago Za joints. One of my food snob to the extreme friends recommended it so I had to try and man are we glad we did. It's a staple place now though I've never tried anything but the thin crust. The sausage is perfectly spiced.

Carol L.

Great carryout pizza. I ordered pizza for a blackhawks game party I had and the pizza was ready on time and the order was 100% correct. I am not a pan pizza fan but theirs is very good. We also ordered their thin crust, I wasn't as thrilled about that but it was fine. The toppings were adequate and the cheese and sauce were good quality. It is definitely a good carryout pizza choice.

WOW!!! Let me just start by saying that the owner, Rich, is nothing but an arrogant businessman! I ordered a pizza for delivery and the employee on the phone took my order, address and gave me a total. 10 minutes later, Rich calls back saying that they do not deliver to my location and would not deliver to my location. I would think as a business owner, Rich would take RESPONSIBILITY for his employee's MISTAKE and deliver to my location. However, instead he constantly said he would not deliver, never once took fault or even apologized. Even when I brought up the FACT this was his and his employee's mistake - not my mistake. This was a lack of training on HIS end, and his response to my asking how does he think you can run a successful business when you do not properly train your employees was 1) The individuals taking the orders are just high school students and 2) Wayne's has been around for 50 years so he guesses they are doing pretty good. My thought on Rich's response is does Rich not have trust in his own employees to train them on street names and/or delivery boundaries? Does he not think a 16 or 17 year old can understand what a street is? What kind of business owner does not have faith in young individuals - the individuals who will some day run their own business? I don't even want to put effort into thinking about Rich's bigot comment about how his business is doing pretty good. In 5 minutes talking to Rich, I have come to the conclusion he does not sound like a good boss, successful business owner or even a contributing member to the development of our youth. I just cannot support a business, regardless if they have been around for 50 years or 5 months, where the business owner blatantly does not care for his employees or customer satisfaction. I have been in this area for a little over 2 years now, and thought I had finally found our pizza place... I guess its back to square one.

This place is one of the best places to get really good pizza! We have been coming here for at least 17 years. I love their Double Decker Pizzas! My husband and I usually get a large because we love eating the leftovers again the next day! Everything we ever get, thin crust pizza, sandwiches or appetizers has always been great! They use fresh ingredients and they don't skimp on the toppings! I love that when I call to place an order they recognize my number and already know what kind of pizza we usually get. Plus they keep to their word of how much time it takes to get the food ready for pick up or even delivery.

Great local pizza place we always go for the double decker pizza it's literally two pizzas on top of each other, just something different ... Always good & fresh! A little pricey but still a great pizza! Carry out only by the way...

Brian O.

Just moved to the area and I'm trying different places out. I ordered a small thin crust and some boneless wings. It's a very true to the 'thin' name too, but I mean that in the best way posible. All the toppings tasted great and the crust was the perfect amount of crunchy. The wings were actually really good for take-out pizza wings. Hot and juicy with nice breading and the sauce tasted good. I can't wait to try the double decker and other things there next time. This is most likely my main pizza place now.

Been around forever for good reason. A perfect pan-pizza crust, super-reliable and friendly service, and prices that seem a smidge lower than the other local shops. We hit Wayne's about once a week. A neighbor treasure.

Great Pizza! Friendly Service! Good Prices! Favorites: Thin Crust, Double Crust, Double-Decker (Yes, a pizza on top of a pizza!). We haven't tried the deep dish yet, but I'm sure its just as good as the rest. Don't forget to bring in your competitor coupons for $2 off each pizza.

Jeka M.

I LOVE WAYNE'S. The deep dish is delish, and while they usually get everything perfect, once our pizza wasn't what we ordered (or maybe expected?) and they brought us another one post-haste. Friendly, local, and with a huge variety of crusts (which I appreciate!). Try the double crust or the deep dish!

J D.

My favorite pizza place of all time because it's absolutely delicious and has been our family pizza place forever. One time we went in for pickup and two other people from our family had ordered that same night. And it's not a family party without pizza from Wayne's.

Lilah J.

Their thin crust pizza is very good. We always order their pizza, and never get disappointed.

CL M.

I grew up loving deep dish/pan pizza, but my entire family prefers thin crust. Wayne's thin crust won me over! It is not that thin, squishy NY-style that you fold to eat...yuck! Wayne's thin crust is crispy, almost has a snap to it and is very tasty! With their crispy crust you really appreciate the quality of the ingredients. Their sausage is excellent. They have a few "outside of the box" options, too, like penne pasta on your pizza, which is great with spinach, too! Wayne's has been around for decades and with their quick, pleasant service and delicious pizzas, it's no wonder they've been so successful.

Chuck K.

We've been ordering from Wayne's forever. Thin crust is excellent, but we've had a deep dish and double crust a couple times and those are very good as well. I wouldn't consider it a restaurant as there's only a couple of tables to sit. Most of their business is pick up, and thin crust orders are ready in 20 minutes. My wife says the Italian sausage is a little salty, and maybe it is, but it is still excellent. Only gripe: they give you a coupon with your orders, save 4 and get $1 off, but now there's a $2 printable coupon on their website. We used to save the pizza box coupons, but now don't really bother as the repeat customer reward is smaller than the generic Internet printable coupon.

Michelle K.

Since I'm fairly new to the Arlington Heights area, I was excited to try out a nearby pizza place - and one that specializes in thin crust?! Heck, yes! My guy and I ordered a medium thin crust pepperoni, and we eagerly anticipated crunching into that crispy crust. Except...the crust wasn't crunchy. It wasn't crispy. It was actually kind of floppy, soggy, and greasy. Talk about a letdown! I mean, this pizza wasn't AWFUL, but it wasn't remarkable in any way. I suppose I would give the Chicago-style pizza a whirl sometime, but not for awhile.

Jon F.

Let me start by saying I am not a big fan of Pizza. That being said, I enjoyed Wayne's thin crust pizza. I used their online ordering system and it was perfect. They also have a mobile app. I downloaded it! I will be back!! If ordering online and you use their website coupon you have to print out the coupon and bring it in or give it to your delivery driver. I did not know this and I find this to be a bit wasteful.

Jen S.

Only lived in Chicagoland for 5 months but this was the best pan pizza we had and we went back many times....no sense in continuing to find the best when it's this amazing! The pizza weighs a ton and we had multiple meals from it. We also tried the Chicago style pizza and we didn't like it near as much and it seemed like the dough was only partially cooked.
(5)
Chris K.

I recently had Wayne's pizza because some friends told me it was the best around Arlington heights. However I was not so impressed with the sauce, I thought it was bland with no flavor. The crust was nice and crispy but overall there are certainly much better pizza around the area.

Carolyn B.

Our favorite pizza place, hands-down. The double crust is fantastic.

I live down the street, so it's quicker and better than frozen pizza. I've gotten a pizza that was a bit too crispy (burnt), but most have been great.

Dave G.

Wayne's has been my go to pizza for the past 8 years. Great crust and sauce make for one of better thin crust pizzas I've had. Pepperoni, mushroom and onion are the way to go. The onion is sliced thin, not diced in big chunks, and slightly charred. Gives them a sweet taste you can't beat. Garlic bread is also very good. You have to try the Dyna-Bites!
(4)
Joseph P.

Wayne's has been a favorite for years now. This pizza is very good, and the service from the phone to delivery has always been top notch. I have to admit I order from Wayne's alot and its just good food. The Wayne's Special is always tasty and if you want soda in cans you can mix and match a six pack.

Jacqueline W.

Have ordered from here a few times while in Arlington Heights visiting a friend ...and I absolutely love their thin crust pizza! Always delivered nice& hot by a friendly dude, sausage has great flavor, veggies always taste super fresh, and the cheese is fantastically gooey :) Although i would love to see ricotta on the ingredients menu...this girl LOVES cheese... STILL AWESOME PIZZA!

Nick S.

Let me start by telling you that their online ordering system didn't work at all today. It kept telling me that the system rejected my order. I finally had a chance to phone in my order after waiting for them to open. The order was placed smoothly and with no problems. Set up a specific pick up time and everything. When I got there to pick up the pizzas everything also went smoothly. Upon my 10 minute drive home my phone started ringing, I don't take my phone out of my pocket while driving. When I got home I checked the message, it was from Wayne's. They said the coupon I gave didn't go through and asked me to call ASAP. I called back to figure it out and they told me that they had actually given me the wrong pizzas and that there was nothing wrong with the coupon. I drove 10 minutes back to Wayne's. When I got there I gave them back the wrong pizzas, I have no idea what they did with them, and they gave me the ones that had been sitting in boxes on the counter for almost 30 minutes that I had ordered. They didn't offer me a discount, coupon or to keep the other pizzas for the inconvenience. They didn't even say sorry. Another 10 minute drive home and I was finally ready to have dinner. By this time the pizzas had been sitting in boxes for almost 45 minutes so I really can't comment on whether or not it was good because mine was old, cold and chewy. I will definitely not be going back, but I do wonder if my pizzas would have been good when they were hot and fresh.

So it's a Friday night and I'm chatting on the phone with a dear friend who happens to live in Florida. As I finish venting about our Chicago weather, I say that I wish I lived in Florida. Then I mention that I am going to order pizza for dinner. My friend says he wishes he were here, so he could order pizza- from Waynes! So I thought: Hmmm...never tried that place. Why not? All I can say is AWESOME!!

The deep dish is almost as good as Giordano's in the city. We even prefer it over Lou Malnatis. Very fast for delivery or pick-up. Pizza reheats well, too!

Rob W.

Started going here about 12 years ago when my brother lived in Arlington Hts. He introduced me to the double decker pizza - a definite pizza HOF'er! Well, he's quite a ways from this place nowadays, but fortunately I now live close enough to enjoy the goodness of a Wayne's double decker. I'm awarding Wayne's four stars because they made a single decker (normal) pizza for me once and it was just OK. Pickup or delivery only.
(4)
Michael D.

This is hands down the best pizza in the NW Burbs for your money. Thin crust is great and there is no skimping on cheese like the other pizza joynts do. Also, on website you can print $2 off coupons and walk out with a 12-inch pizza with 2 ingredients for $10 and some change. See if you can get this quality and price elsewhere, I doubt it. Do yourself a favor and try Wayne's, really you can't go wrong!!
(5)
Mark F.

Down a star, but why? Wayne's put on a pretty good run of stellar pizzas but lately the pizzas have been soggy in the middle. I don't mind a soft pizza but soggy...almost wet on a pepperoni pizza isn't a tasty meal. Will I stop eating here? Probably not but be on the lookout for a wet a pizza pie.

Michael L.

Amazing. The best thin crust pizza I've ever had. I've ate pizza in Vegas, LA, DC, NY, and obviously Chicago and this is hands down the best. Right now I'm eating their deep dish which is also excellent. The place is located right off of Northwest Highway by Arlington Park. Take-out and they do deliver. Pizzas, that's all I have to say. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and made to order. When you walk in to pick up your order you can even see them making the pizzas like a well oiled machine. The thin crust is so good, it's crisp, but not too hard. It's chewy, but doesn't get soggy. The deep dish is great to. Not like normal Chicago deep dish where you're full after 1 piece. This, you can eat 2 or 3 pieces. Which I love cause I love eating. If you're in the Palatine, Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows area, definitely go there for pizza. I'll update the review after I have one of their sandwiches which also look great.

Steve m.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place. By far the best pizza in the northwest suburbs. Can't go wrong with just a simple thin crust pepperoni. Service is always quick and the people working there are friendly. Good prices, too. There is nothing to complain about--and if people complain about it--well, they're probably hard to please.

Wayne's has the best pizza in Arlington. I cannot give them 5 stars because the quality is not always consistent. Their off-nights pizza is still vey good, but when they are on the pizzas are fantastic. They seemed to have cut back on the sauce and so to compensate I order extra sauce on the thin crust which is fantastic. However, I feel let down that I have to order the pizza to get them to make it the way they used to. Their thick crust pizzas are great too. The thick pizza uses a different sauce. Excellent sausage and their pastas are very good too.
(4)
Paul K.

I have been a fan of Wayne's pizza for a long, long time. I have never been disappointed. I only ever order the thin crust, which is crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, and the sauce has a great flavor to it. My pizza is always ready when they say, and the price isn't bad. My favorite PIzza in the area. It's a take-out / delivery place.. there's one or two booths in the front, but i've never seen anyone in them. The owners/operators are nice.

Brian S.

I have ordered from Wayne's for the last six months and I have not been disappointed. If you pick up your order, go to their website to get the $2 off coupon. Their thin crust pizza is awesome. Their pan is good. The service is good and they always have your pizza ready when they say, if not earlier. Looking for a good pizza, look no further.

Wayne's Pizza is an institution in my family, if you want the Best Pizza in Arlington Heights look no further. Its take out only and parking is in the rear, you might even miss it if it weren't for the Orange lights in the strip off NW Highway. I recommend checking out their website before you order, they usually have a coupon available to download and print out.

Delicious! We ordered pick up and I should have told him to wait to cook it because we were coming from Cary. Even cold it was terrific. We tried the thin sausage and onion and it was not greasy. The onions were sliced thin and well placed on the pizza, sausage was generous. We ordered a meatball sub too. They stuff four meatballs onto the roll. They were tender and tasty. We can't wait to come back and try the thick crust.

Pizza always delicious. The wings I'm very picky and they get them right all the time. Wings with bone medium sauce easy sauce well done with ranch. But what stuck out the most was I called at 10:50pm on a Sunday and asked if it was to late for a delivery. They wanted to say NO. but they took my order and delivered. I was very happy and grateful!!! 6 month pregnant wife was hungry and I had been working in nursery all day. I would never do this again but they helped me out by not having to go out that night and searching for food. Shout out to Jeremy S. driver who made it happen.

Kevin S.

We've recently tried this place a couple of times. I really like the supreme/special thin crust. The sausage is great and the other ingredients seem nice and fresh. My only complaint is that even with a well-done pizza, the center of the crust on the underside always seems to end up pretty soggy, which I haven't really experienced with other places. Great pizza though!

Fern M.

After driving past this place many times, I finally decided to try them out. I placed an order for delivery, you know the signature pizza they have and some mozzarella sticks and more. It was a long day for me after work so I figured that this would be a nice meal to be delivered to wind down to with some friends. After placing the order and charging my card, I was told my order would take about an hour. My mind was set, I was tired from working a full day, I was glad my order was done and placed so I could finally kick back. Well after about 20 minutes, I got a call back saying that the address where I wanted my food delivered was out of their delivery range, its literally two blocks past their cutoff. I was shocked they didn't tell me that when I gave them my address and here I was looking forward to a nice meal after a long tiring day and now I have to drive all the way to them to pick up my food? I was too exhausted and annoyed so now Id have to wait even longer to order food from elsewhere. After charging my card and having me wait a good 20 minutes already, Im surprised they didn't offer me a courtesy service and delivered it to me after making that big mistake on their end. I mean, it was only two blocks, I even tip really well. If they had decided to deliver to me after making that mistake, I would of tipped the driver even more as a thank you for stepping up and delivering. Now I know if I ever order from here I have to pick it up. In the end though I had them reverse the transaction and put my money back onto my card.

Wayne's features old school pizza with lots of options to make it "your way". Wayne's web ordering system is one of the easiest and most user friendly that I have encountered. Payment can be cash or major credit card- no checks accepted. With each order you get a "Ticket", save 4 and get a dollar off, save 8 and get two dollars off. On Wayne's website there is a print out coupon for $2 off any order over $10; be sure to bring the coupon with you if you do a pick up. They have only a couple of booths if you want to "eat in", otherwise take-out rules. Tip: Wayne's entrance is in the rear of the building.

I have grown up in Arlington Heights and NO pizza place compares to Wayne's! Even the delivery guy knows me cause I order from Wayne's so much. They might as well get half of my paycheck. :-D It is by far the best pizza around and their bbq sauce is amazing!! Keep up the good work guys! You have a forever loyal Wayne's Pizza customer here!

First time visit last night. I live in Algonquin but work in Arlington Heights. Ordered pizza half cooked. Four minutes under broiler was done. I have no idea why anyone would think the sauce was bland. It was GREAT! Sausage was good & did not go easy on ingredients even the peperoni! Parking is in the back but so is the carryout door. Pizza is thinner then most but not too crispy, thank God! The only down side was because the 16 inch was so thin it did not fill the two of us enough for am second dinner. Will have to try the double decker with the crust so thin it should be great.

Karl M.

They got it. Skills, that is. No frills. All pie. Worth picking up to go, fo sho. I'll edit this after I finish eating. Ok and here we go... The crust (ordered well-down) is almost a pretzel. So twisted, crispy, and not over powering. It was dense and firm so it held the juicy toppings of onion, green peppers, sausage, and spinach effortlessly. The fresh tomatoes on the top were so sweet and herbed. They melted like sauce. Sweet, sweet sauce. The toasted, gooey cheeses were so delicious. Not too much but definitely enough. The veggies were fresh and tasty. I LOVE THIS PIZZA!!! Even though they don't deliver to me, 3.3 miles away, I'll definitely be ordering more frequently. I'm sorry, now, that I've waited so long to order from these masters of pizzaology. My pie was ready in 30 minutes, or so they say, for pickup. I got it fresh out of the oven and uncut so all the juices stayed in the pie and not all over the box. On the passenger seat next to me it sat all the way home, still piping hot as I rolled my cutting wheel through the caramelized cheeses and crust. Five fuhhhh king stars. Word.

I have lived in Arlington Hts for 43 years and I would say they have served me and my family very very well ! the pizza is great and I guess I didn't realize you guys even serve up cheese sticks so the next time I am in I. will ask for a take home menus

This is one of the best places in the country to get pizza in my opinion. They have it all, super thin crust, thick crust, double decker (yes a real double decker pizza), and deep dish pizza. They really make a solid pizza with all fresh and some homemade ingredients. My favorite is an 18 inch with green peppers, pepperoni, and garlic. I've eaten a lot of pizza and not many can compete with Wayne's on their thin crust pizza.

I used to really like their pizza. Now it arrives cold. The crust is like cardboard. No longer a fan.

I've ordered here a number of times over the years mainly because the location is convenient. Their thin crust and double dough pizzas are only fair. The cheese is rather hard tasting and they are not generous with toppings except for the less expensive items. There is very little tomato/spicy taste. Some of their side orders can be good (onion rings, breaded cauliflower, seasoned fries, and chicken wings when they are hot and fresh tasting. They do not travel very well however and this is a pickup or delivery restaurant only. If you order these items for delivery watch out. Their delivery service is reliable though the food doesn't always taste freshly prepared (including the pizza). However if you pick up when they're crowded you can be ignored which can cause delays in getting your already prepared food. This place is substantially overrated.

We've eaten here since the early '80's. We love their pizzas both thin and pan. The sandwiches are good too. Love everything they make ! I still prefer over the bigger pizza businesses. These seem to be made with love.

Wayne's Pizza is a good go-to pizza joint for tasty carry out. More often than not the pizza is cooked well and is delicious. There are times (I think, perhaps, when they are busiest) when we get an undercooked, hastily made 'zza (ingredients strewn unevenly across the pie, soggy crust), but 7 out of 10 times we get a great pizza at a good price. There are some that do it better, but Wayne's is our first call because it's close, the guys are friendly, we get what we order, and they've been here forever and we want to seem them stick around. A solid "B" in our book.

Awesome pizza! Been going here for a long time. Just getting into this yelp thing with my new ipad. The crust is amazing and my cheese,sausage, mushroom, and onion never fails me. To many more years of good za. Keep it up. They also deliver.

Their double-decker pizza is amazing! But I made the mistake of trying the chicken fingers and was very disappointed. They were just tiny frozen ones made out of that "fake"-tasting chicken. I'd love to see them upgrade the quality of the other food on the menu besides the pizza, which needs no improvement!

I had heard about the Double Decker pizza. And within the week, I had one sitting in front of me. I had to try it to see if it lived up to the hype. I had also ordered it with Italian Beef, which I had never really had as a pizza topping before. So this in itself was really a unique experience for me. Well, the pizza was great. I have to admit, I was really bummed about the sauce levels. It was shy of what I usually like, but they made up for it in cheese. No skimping on the good stuff! The crust was a little bit tough to eat, but I'm thinking it would be a different story had it just been a regular thin crust. Side note on the fries; I wasn't a huge fan. They were kinda cold, and even slightly soggy. Anyways, I was impressed enough to be ordering up a second one a week later. I'll give them a second shot to redeem themselves on the sauce, and the fries. Should that happen, 5 star quality for Waynes pizza no doubt.

This is my number one pick for the best beef sandwich in the northwest suburbs. Whenever I get a chance this is a place to go unfortunately they don't open till like 4 p.m. If they had lunch hours I would go here more often.

I have eat and made every style of pizza under the sun from Chicago Deep dish to Detroit style, New York floppy crust, Neapolitan and everything in between. I've used brick ovens, gas ovens, wood burning ovens, the list goes on. I've worked at 4 pizzerias in my life (Including Wayne's) and I can tell you without a doubt Wayne's is the best pizza I have had, in taste, consistency and price. There's a reason this establishment has been operating for 50 years, because they never skip a beat. This is mom and pop quality, get in, get out "We're all about the quality of food." What to order: Appetizer: Good ol' French Fries Mozzarella sticks Chili Pepper and cheese bites Main Dish: 1. Thin crust sausage - Keep it simple if you're a first timer to this place, their known for their thin crust sausage. Don't attack the pizza with salt and pepper, red flakes or Parmesan until you've tasted it and THINK that it MAY need it. OR 2. Deep Dish Pan Pizza - Wayne's is known for their thin crust but employees and fans will tell you that their Deep Dish is just as amazing. I order Sausage Bacon or Sausage Giardinera. For the adventurous: Try a BBQ chicken pizza with onion, and some cheddar cheese. ;) If you want extra sauce, well done, crispy, or burnt the staff will happily oblige you.

One of the best small non chain chicago Za joints. One of my food snob to the extreme friends recommended it so I had to try and man are we glad we did. It's a staple place now though I've never tried anything but the thin crust. The sausage is perfectly spiced.
(5)
Carol L.

Great carryout pizza. I ordered pizza for a blackhawks game party I had and the pizza was ready on time and the order was 100% correct. I am not a pan pizza fan but theirs is very good. We also ordered their thin crust, I wasn't as thrilled about that but it was fine. The toppings were adequate and the cheese and sauce were good quality. It is definitely a good carryout pizza choice.

Been around forever for good reason. A perfect pan-pizza crust, super-reliable and friendly service, and prices that seem a smidge lower than the other local shops. We hit Wayne's about once a week. A neighbor treasure.

John O.

Great Pizza! Friendly Service! Good Prices! Favorites: Thin Crust, Double Crust, Double-Decker (Yes, a pizza on top of a pizza!). We haven't tried the deep dish yet, but I'm sure its just as good as the rest. Don't forget to bring in your competitor coupons for $2 off each pizza.
(4)
Jeka M.

I LOVE WAYNE'S. The deep dish is delish, and while they usually get everything perfect, once our pizza wasn't what we ordered (or maybe expected?) and they brought us another one post-haste. Friendly, local, and with a huge variety of crusts (which I appreciate!). Try the double crust or the deep dish!

My favorite pizza place of all time because it's absolutely delicious and has been our family pizza place forever. One time we went in for pickup and two other people from our family had ordered that same night. And it's not a family party without pizza from Wayne's.

Natalee L.

WOW!!! Let me just start by saying that the owner, Rich, is nothing but an arrogant businessman! I ordered a pizza for delivery and the employee on the phone took my order, address and gave me a total. 10 minutes later, Rich calls back saying that they do not deliver to my location and would not deliver to my location. I would think as a business owner, Rich would take RESPONSIBILITY for his employee's MISTAKE and deliver to my location. However, instead he constantly said he would not deliver, never once took fault or even apologized. Even when I brought up the FACT this was his and his employee's mistake - not my mistake. This was a lack of training on HIS end, and his response to my asking how does he think you can run a successful business when you do not properly train your employees was 1) The individuals taking the orders are just high school students and 2) Wayne's has been around for 50 years so he guesses they are doing pretty good. My thought on Rich's response is does Rich not have trust in his own employees to train them on street names and/or delivery boundaries? Does he not think a 16 or 17 year old can understand what a street is? What kind of business owner does not have faith in young individuals - the individuals who will some day run their own business? I don't even want to put effort into thinking about Rich's bigot comment about how his business is doing pretty good. In 5 minutes talking to Rich, I have come to the conclusion he does not sound like a good boss, successful business owner or even a contributing member to the development of our youth. I just cannot support a business, regardless if they have been around for 50 years or 5 months, where the business owner blatantly does not care for his employees or customer satisfaction. I have been in this area for a little over 2 years now, and thought I had finally found our pizza place... I guess its back to square one.

This place is one of the best places to get really good pizza! We have been coming here for at least 17 years. I love their Double Decker Pizzas! My husband and I usually get a large because we love eating the leftovers again the next day! Everything we ever get, thin crust pizza, sandwiches or appetizers has always been great! They use fresh ingredients and they don't skimp on the toppings! I love that when I call to place an order they recognize my number and already know what kind of pizza we usually get. Plus they keep to their word of how much time it takes to get the food ready for pick up or even delivery.

Delicious pizza! We always order the thin-crust sausage. It's a great value. Hot, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommended!

The best Northwestern IL suburbs pizza hands down. I've been away and coming back to Arlington for 15 years and always make it a point to grab a thin crust sausage when I'm here. The best Jerry, the best!

I don't understand Chicago pizza. It's either deep dish (and pretty good) or this other poor excuse for a pizza that the majority of places, like Wayne's serves. I'm from Michigan originally where we have delicious Detroit style pizza or normal pizza. I don't understand why normal pizza isn't an option in Chicago, it's either deep dish or thin-crust cardboard pizza with no flavor. The crust is like cardboard, the sauce is ok, the cheese is bland (is it unsalted?). We got a veggie pizza (spinach and mushroom) and there was pretty much no flavor. I've never wanted to put salt on a pizza before but I did on this one. The meat pizzas are better since they actually seem to have a little sodium in them. The yelp ratings of this place baffle me. Unfortunately, this is the closest pizza place to our house and anything within a few miles isn't any better so we're stuck getting it for poker night but I feel awful serving this to my guests.

Steve H.

One of the few places that truly knows what a crispy thin pizza should result in texture and taste. Also one of the few that offers giardiniera as a topping as well - try it you won't be disappointed! Sorry Wayne's!! I'm moving next month 30 miles away ;(

Nicole M.

Good Pizza! Ordered a Thin crust sausage. Hot, crispy and cheesy! Carry out or Delivery only. I don't think they ever have any specials or coupons...
(4)
John C.

We went her based on a recommendation from a friend and he was right, this is the best thin crust around. Super thin, crunchy crust, big hunks of sausage, fresh onions and juicy mushrooms! In fact, I knew his pizza was good just by smelling it in the box. There is a certain smell that great pizza gives off and Wayne's makes it! If you like thin crust,this is for you. And that girl from Michigan who wants" normal" pizza, should go back to her home state and that rat-ass Domino's!
(5)
Sarah P.

I love thin crust pizza and tried this place out with a friend. It's definitely a more carry-out store. The cheese is delicious! but the sauce was not the greatest. The workers were friendly and there were 2 tables for people who wanted to dine-in.

Chris K.

I recently had Wayne's pizza because some friends told me it was the best around Arlington heights. However I was not so impressed with the sauce, I thought it was bland with no flavor. The crust was nice and crispy but overall there are certainly much better pizza around the area.

Tino A.

Pizza always delicious. The wings I'm very picky and they get them right all the time. Wings with bone medium sauce easy sauce well done with ranch. But what stuck out the most was I called at 10:50pm on a Sunday and asked if it was to late for a delivery. They wanted to say NO. but they took my order and delivered. I was very happy and grateful!!! 6 month pregnant wife was hungry and I had been working in nursery all day. I would never do this again but they helped me out by not having to go out that night and searching for food. Shout out to Jeremy S. driver who made it happen.

Kevin S.

We've recently tried this place a couple of times. I really like the supreme/special thin crust. The sausage is great and the other ingredients seem nice and fresh. My only complaint is that even with a well-done pizza, the center of the crust on the underside always seems to end up pretty soggy, which I haven't really experienced with other places. Great pizza though!

Only lived in Chicagoland for 5 months but this was the best pan pizza we had and we went back many times....no sense in continuing to find the best when it's this amazing! The pizza weighs a ton and we had multiple meals from it. We also tried the Chicago style pizza and we didn't like it near as much and it seemed like the dough was only partially cooked.
(5)
k h.

Delicious! We ordered pick up and I should have told him to wait to cook it because we were coming from Cary. Even cold it was terrific. We tried the thin sausage and onion and it was not greasy. The onions were sliced thin and well placed on the pizza, sausage was generous. We ordered a meatball sub too. They stuff four meatballs onto the roll. They were tender and tasty. We can't wait to come back and try the thick crust.

After driving past this place many times, I finally decided to try them out. I placed an order for delivery, you know the signature pizza they have and some mozzarella sticks and more. It was a long day for me after work so I figured that this would be a nice meal to be delivered to wind down to with some friends. After placing the order and charging my card, I was told my order would take about an hour. My mind was set, I was tired from working a full day, I was glad my order was done and placed so I could finally kick back. Well after about 20 minutes, I got a call back saying that the address where I wanted my food delivered was out of their delivery range, its literally two blocks past their cutoff. I was shocked they didn't tell me that when I gave them my address and here I was looking forward to a nice meal after a long tiring day and now I have to drive all the way to them to pick up my food? I was too exhausted and annoyed so now Id have to wait even longer to order food from elsewhere. After charging my card and having me wait a good 20 minutes already, Im surprised they didn't offer me a courtesy service and delivered it to me after making that big mistake on their end. I mean, it was only two blocks, I even tip really well. If they had decided to deliver to me after making that mistake, I would of tipped the driver even more as a thank you for stepping up and delivering. Now I know if I ever order from here I have to pick it up. In the end though I had them reverse the transaction and put my money back onto my card.

Wayne's features old school pizza with lots of options to make it "your way". Wayne's web ordering system is one of the easiest and most user friendly that I have encountered. Payment can be cash or major credit card- no checks accepted. With each order you get a "Ticket", save 4 and get a dollar off, save 8 and get two dollars off. On Wayne's website there is a print out coupon for $2 off any order over $10; be sure to bring the coupon with you if you do a pick up. They have only a couple of booths if you want to "eat in", otherwise take-out rules. Tip: Wayne's entrance is in the rear of the building.

I have grown up in Arlington Heights and NO pizza place compares to Wayne's! Even the delivery guy knows me cause I order from Wayne's so much. They might as well get half of my paycheck. :-D It is by far the best pizza around and their bbq sauce is amazing!! Keep up the good work guys! You have a forever loyal Wayne's Pizza customer here!

First time visit last night. I live in Algonquin but work in Arlington Heights. Ordered pizza half cooked. Four minutes under broiler was done. I have no idea why anyone would think the sauce was bland. It was GREAT! Sausage was good & did not go easy on ingredients even the peperoni! Parking is in the back but so is the carryout door. Pizza is thinner then most but not too crispy, thank God! The only down side was because the 16 inch was so thin it did not fill the two of us enough for am second dinner. Will have to try the double decker with the crust so thin it should be great.

Karl M.

They got it. Skills, that is. No frills. All pie. Worth picking up to go, fo sho. I'll edit this after I finish eating. Ok and here we go... The crust (ordered well-down) is almost a pretzel. So twisted, crispy, and not over powering. It was dense and firm so it held the juicy toppings of onion, green peppers, sausage, and spinach effortlessly. The fresh tomatoes on the top were so sweet and herbed. They melted like sauce. Sweet, sweet sauce. The toasted, gooey cheeses were so delicious. Not too much but definitely enough. The veggies were fresh and tasty. I LOVE THIS PIZZA!!! Even though they don't deliver to me, 3.3 miles away, I'll definitely be ordering more frequently. I'm sorry, now, that I've waited so long to order from these masters of pizzaology. My pie was ready in 30 minutes, or so they say, for pickup. I got it fresh out of the oven and uncut so all the juices stayed in the pie and not all over the box. On the passenger seat next to me it sat all the way home, still piping hot as I rolled my cutting wheel through the caramelized cheeses and crust. Five fuhhhh king stars. Word.

Just moved to the area and I'm trying different places out. I ordered a small thin crust and some boneless wings. It's a very true to the 'thin' name too, but I mean that in the best way posible. All the toppings tasted great and the crust was the perfect amount of crunchy. The wings were actually really good for take-out pizza wings. Hot and juicy with nice breading and the sauce tasted good. I can't wait to try the double decker and other things there next time. This is most likely my main pizza place now.

I grew up loving deep dish/pan pizza, but my entire family prefers thin crust. Wayne's thin crust won me over! It is not that thin, squishy NY-style that you fold to eat...yuck! Wayne's thin crust is crispy, almost has a snap to it and is very tasty! With their crispy crust you really appreciate the quality of the ingredients. Their sausage is excellent. They have a few "outside of the box" options, too, like penne pasta on your pizza, which is great with spinach, too! Wayne's has been around for decades and with their quick, pleasant service and delicious pizzas, it's no wonder they've been so successful.

We've been ordering from Wayne's forever. Thin crust is excellent, but we've had a deep dish and double crust a couple times and those are very good as well. I wouldn't consider it a restaurant as there's only a couple of tables to sit. Most of their business is pick up, and thin crust orders are ready in 20 minutes. My wife says the Italian sausage is a little salty, and maybe it is, but it is still excellent. Only gripe: they give you a coupon with your orders, save 4 and get $1 off, but now there's a $2 printable coupon on their website. We used to save the pizza box coupons, but now don't really bother as the repeat customer reward is smaller than the generic Internet printable coupon.

Since I'm fairly new to the Arlington Heights area, I was excited to try out a nearby pizza place - and one that specializes in thin crust?! Heck, yes! My guy and I ordered a medium thin crust pepperoni, and we eagerly anticipated crunching into that crispy crust. Except...the crust wasn't crunchy. It wasn't crispy. It was actually kind of floppy, soggy, and greasy. Talk about a letdown! I mean, this pizza wasn't AWFUL, but it wasn't remarkable in any way. I suppose I would give the Chicago-style pizza a whirl sometime, but not for awhile.

Let me start by saying I am not a big fan of Pizza. That being said, I enjoyed Wayne's thin crust pizza. I used their online ordering system and it was perfect. They also have a mobile app. I downloaded it! I will be back!! If ordering online and you use their website coupon you have to print out the coupon and bring it in or give it to your delivery driver. I did not know this and I find this to be a bit wasteful.

Let me start by telling you that their online ordering system didn't work at all today. It kept telling me that the system rejected my order. I finally had a chance to phone in my order after waiting for them to open. The order was placed smoothly and with no problems. Set up a specific pick up time and everything. When I got there to pick up the pizzas everything also went smoothly. Upon my 10 minute drive home my phone started ringing, I don't take my phone out of my pocket while driving. When I got home I checked the message, it was from Wayne's. They said the coupon I gave didn't go through and asked me to call ASAP. I called back to figure it out and they told me that they had actually given me the wrong pizzas and that there was nothing wrong with the coupon. I drove 10 minutes back to Wayne's. When I got there I gave them back the wrong pizzas, I have no idea what they did with them, and they gave me the ones that had been sitting in boxes on the counter for almost 30 minutes that I had ordered. They didn't offer me a discount, coupon or to keep the other pizzas for the inconvenience. They didn't even say sorry. Another 10 minute drive home and I was finally ready to have dinner. By this time the pizzas had been sitting in boxes for almost 45 minutes so I really can't comment on whether or not it was good because mine was old, cold and chewy. I will definitely not be going back, but I do wonder if my pizzas would have been good when they were hot and fresh.

Started going here about 12 years ago when my brother lived in Arlington Hts. He introduced me to the double decker pizza - a definite pizza HOF'er! Well, he's quite a ways from this place nowadays, but fortunately I now live close enough to enjoy the goodness of a Wayne's double decker. I'm awarding Wayne's four stars because they made a single decker (normal) pizza for me once and it was just OK. Pickup or delivery only.

This is hands down the best pizza in the NW Burbs for your money. Thin crust is great and there is no skimping on cheese like the other pizza joynts do. Also, on website you can print $2 off coupons and walk out with a 12-inch pizza with 2 ingredients for $10 and some change. See if you can get this quality and price elsewhere, I doubt it. Do yourself a favor and try Wayne's, really you can't go wrong!!

Down a star, but why? Wayne's put on a pretty good run of stellar pizzas but lately the pizzas have been soggy in the middle. I don't mind a soft pizza but soggy...almost wet on a pepperoni pizza isn't a tasty meal. Will I stop eating here? Probably not but be on the lookout for a wet a pizza pie.

Delicious pizza! We always order the thin-crust sausage. It's a great value. Hot, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommended!

The best Northwestern IL suburbs pizza hands down. I've been away and coming back to Arlington for 15 years and always make it a point to grab a thin crust sausage when I'm here. The best Jerry, the best!

I don't understand Chicago pizza. It's either deep dish (and pretty good) or this other poor excuse for a pizza that the majority of places, like Wayne's serves. I'm from Michigan originally where we have delicious Detroit style pizza or normal pizza. I don't understand why normal pizza isn't an option in Chicago, it's either deep dish or thin-crust cardboard pizza with no flavor. The crust is like cardboard, the sauce is ok, the cheese is bland (is it unsalted?). We got a veggie pizza (spinach and mushroom) and there was pretty much no flavor. I've never wanted to put salt on a pizza before but I did on this one. The meat pizzas are better since they actually seem to have a little sodium in them. The yelp ratings of this place baffle me. Unfortunately, this is the closest pizza place to our house and anything within a few miles isn't any better so we're stuck getting it for poker night but I feel awful serving this to my guests.

One of the few places that truly knows what a crispy thin pizza should result in texture and taste. Also one of the few that offers giardiniera as a topping as well - try it you won't be disappointed! Sorry Wayne's!! I'm moving next month 30 miles away ;(

Good Pizza! Ordered a Thin crust sausage. Hot, crispy and cheesy! Carry out or Delivery only. I don't think they ever have any specials or coupons...

We went her based on a recommendation from a friend and he was right, this is the best thin crust around. Super thin, crunchy crust, big hunks of sausage, fresh onions and juicy mushrooms! In fact, I knew his pizza was good just by smelling it in the box. There is a certain smell that great pizza gives off and Wayne's makes it! If you like thin crust,this is for you. And that girl from Michigan who wants" normal" pizza, should go back to her home state and that rat-ass Domino's!

I love thin crust pizza and tried this place out with a friend. It's definitely a more carry-out store. The cheese is delicious! but the sauce was not the greatest. The workers were friendly and there were 2 tables for people who wanted to dine-in.

Amazing. The best thin crust pizza I've ever had. I've ate pizza in Vegas, LA, DC, NY, and obviously Chicago and this is hands down the best. Right now I'm eating their deep dish which is also excellent. The place is located right off of Northwest Highway by Arlington Park. Take-out and they do deliver. Pizzas, that's all I have to say. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and made to order. When you walk in to pick up your order you can even see them making the pizzas like a well oiled machine. The thin crust is so good, it's crisp, but not too hard. It's chewy, but doesn't get soggy. The deep dish is great to. Not like normal Chicago deep dish where you're full after 1 piece. This, you can eat 2 or 3 pieces. Which I love cause I love eating. If you're in the Palatine, Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows area, definitely go there for pizza. I'll update the review after I have one of their sandwiches which also look great.

So it's a Friday night and I'm chatting on the phone with a dear friend who happens to live in Florida. As I finish venting about our Chicago weather, I say that I wish I lived in Florida. Then I mention that I am going to order pizza for dinner. My friend says he wishes he were here, so he could order pizza- from Waynes! So I thought: Hmmm...never tried that place. Why not? All I can say is AWESOME!!

The deep dish is almost as good as Giordano's in the city. We even prefer it over Lou Malnatis. Very fast for delivery or pick-up. Pizza reheats well, too!

Have ordered from here a few times while in Arlington Heights visiting a friend ...and I absolutely love their thin crust pizza! Always delivered nice& hot by a friendly dude, sausage has great flavor, veggies always taste super fresh, and the cheese is fantastically gooey :) Although i would love to see ricotta on the ingredients menu...this girl LOVES cheese... STILL AWESOME PIZZA!

Wayne's has been my go to pizza for the past 8 years. Great crust and sauce make for one of better thin crust pizzas I've had. Pepperoni, mushroom and onion are the way to go. The onion is sliced thin, not diced in big chunks, and slightly charred. Gives them a sweet taste you can't beat. Garlic bread is also very good. You have to try the Dyna-Bites!

Wayne's has been a favorite for years now. This pizza is very good, and the service from the phone to delivery has always been top notch. I have to admit I order from Wayne's alot and its just good food. The Wayne's Special is always tasty and if you want soda in cans you can mix and match a six pack.

Our favorite pizza place, hands-down. The double crust is fantastic.

I live down the street, so it's quicker and better than frozen pizza. I've gotten a pizza that was a bit too crispy (burnt), but most have been great.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place. By far the best pizza in the northwest suburbs. Can't go wrong with just a simple thin crust pepperoni. Service is always quick and the people working there are friendly. Good prices, too. There is nothing to complain about--and if people complain about it--well, they're probably hard to please.

Had the pizza twice. First time pizza was very bland and had very little sauce. After coworkers bragged about it I tried again. Same as first experience. Way too little sauce and pretty tasteless. Wouldn't recommend

i fell for the yelp good review and decided to try them out.. though the pizza was cheaper and the service was good... i really didnt like the pizza taste.. it tasted like eating rubber pieces with no flavour in it.

Andrea K.

Wayne's has the best pizza in Arlington. I cannot give them 5 stars because the quality is not always consistent. Their off-nights pizza is still vey good, but when they are on the pizzas are fantastic. They seemed to have cut back on the sauce and so to compensate I order extra sauce on the thin crust which is fantastic. However, I feel let down that I have to order the pizza to get them to make it the way they used to. Their thick crust pizzas are great too. The thick pizza uses a different sauce. Excellent sausage and their pastas are very good too.

Paul K.

I have been a fan of Wayne's pizza for a long, long time. I have never been disappointed. I only ever order the thin crust, which is crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, and the sauce has a great flavor to it. My pizza is always ready when they say, and the price isn't bad. My favorite PIzza in the area. It's a take-out / delivery place.. there's one or two booths in the front, but i've never seen anyone in them. The owners/operators are nice.

Brian S.

I have ordered from Wayne's for the last six months and I have not been disappointed. If you pick up your order, go to their website to get the $2 off coupon. Their thin crust pizza is awesome. Their pan is good. The service is good and they always have your pizza ready when they say, if not earlier. Looking for a good pizza, look no further.

Wayne's Pizza is an institution in my family, if you want the Best Pizza in Arlington Heights look no further. Its take out only and parking is in the rear, you might even miss it if it weren't for the Orange lights in the strip off NW Highway. I recommend checking out their website before you order, they usually have a coupon available to download and print out.
