Lefty's Pizza Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings

My jaw dropped when I saw that this place only has 4.3 stars. Should be way higher imo. I don’t normally order pizza because it’s pretty easy to make at home and my partner and I are quite good at making it, but this place was recommended and we had to try it when we came to town. We were both blown away by it and we are very excited that they are here in Wilmette. We don’t live here but will be sure to swing by whenever we are in town! Also super friendly service. People need to get off their high horses here in the north shore because this place is legit and should absolutely be rated higher.

Lefty's in the best in town. Skip Lou's and get the Italian Beef and Giardinara from here. Fresh tomato sauce is sweet with the perfect blend of I-talian seasoning. They missed the beef on our order and made it right! Good people, better food, great neighborhood joint.

Arguably the best thick pan pizza (medium deep dish style) in entire Chicagoland area. I'm reluctant to write a review because I don't want the secret to get out and then prices skyrocket.

This has got to be some of the best pizza I have ever tried. The customer service was amazing and I could not recommend this place more.

Delicious. Carmelized deep dish crust. The crusty deep dish edges are on purpose, it's packed with amazing flavor! Very attentive service. Really good buttery thin crust too.

Anyone who doesn’t give 5 stars doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The thin crust is unbelievable. Better than anything else you’ve ever had. You like Lou’s or Pequods deep dish? This is as good if not better. If you don’t love this pizza you should stick with Dominos. LOVE this place. We have it every Friday since we moved here 3 years ago and it’s never disappointed. If you’re looking for something fun to do they let kids make their own pizzas on Mondays!

We were in Chicago for a week traveling from California and decided to stop and eat at Lefty’s. We were not expecting much but we were blown away by the pizza we ordered! By FAR the BEST pizza we’ve had in our lives. Our server was an older gentleman but he was so kind and made sure we were well taken care of. We’re seriously considering making another trip out to Chicago just to try this pizza again. I was kind of heart broken to find that there isn’t a location in CA. I would definitely recommend this dinner to anyone!
