\"20140504_084624\"<\/a>(August 2015 Update:<\/strong> \u00a0Luigi’s is now a branch of Sal’s Pizza, in Algonquin. See Sal’s reviews<\/a>). Spoiler alert: Luigi’s pizza is spectacular. If you’d prefer to stop reading now and head directly to the restaurant, that’s ok with me. Actually located closer to Rockford, IL than Chicago, the village of Huntley, once a bucolic rural town surrounded by dairy farms, has become a burgeoning suburb of the Windy City; so burgeoning that it will in the near future, get its own commuter train.<\/p>\n

Before the farmers started selling out to development companies, long before the commuter train was even imagined, Luigi’s Pizza and Restaurant was serving the good folks of the village, every Tuesday through Sunday, with classic American style pizza and a full menu that includes pasta, sandwiches, and daily specials.<\/p>\n

I was meeting some pals at this family owned and operated restaurant; walking up to it, I wondered if a 6PM time on a Friday was a bad idea, but there were a couple of tables still open. \u00a0The restaurant has seating for \u00a0– perhaps thirty, with room for a few more at the bar.<\/p>\n

The table was attended to by one of the owner’s daughters, and she was both affable and diligent in her work. \u00a0The food came out as ordered, and in the right order, with only the pizza taking a bit of time, maybe 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

I could find no fault with the pizza as my personal tastes go. Cracker crisp crust, tangy tomato sauce, really, really excellent cheese in copious quantities, and a perfectly seasoned, hand pulled fennel laced Italian sausage.<\/p>\n

This may be the best thin crust pizza in Chicago land, and is worth a drive to Huntley, even if you aren’t bound for the town’s annual Turkey Testicle Festival! \u00a0 The full menu is in our menu section<\/a>.<\/p>\n
