I grew up in Waukegan and now live in Chicago for the past 8years.Chicago is known for pizza and yes they have many good pizzas,but none of them compares to Quonset.I can't wait to visit my family and go straight there.My grandpa was a regular there Adolf Knoll and he and my dad Dave got me hooked.Now I look forward... more

My husband has worked here for 31 years and has seen many changes at the Quonset. I'm not native to Waukegan but I have to say this is the best pizza I've ever had. The sausage is what makes it good. They pile on a little more ingredients than most and it sometimes makes it more soggy but you get... more

My husband and I visit this area about 3-4 times a year and we insist that we go to Quonset when we come. The best thin crust pizza ever. And the homemade sausage has the best flavors. We have lived all over the country and this pizza is by far our favorite. WE take frozen pizza's home with us and... more

Obviously some of these people don't know good if it slapped them in the face. I can list 100 pizza places better than Quonset...I'd gladly take a Tombstone Pizza over that pile of crap any day of the week. The crust is never crispy, perhaps the side crust...however the bottom is like biting into a soggy paper towel. Unfortunately I... more

Had two thin crust pies here (that's the style huh?)... both were oily and soggy and tasted like that pizza you get in high school.... sorry just didn't taste what all the fuss is about. The service was pretty good and friendly. more

This pizzeria is a local favorite, the sort that locals whip themselves into a froth over. I grew up eating this thin crust pizza, so it's homey and wonderful to me. Out-of-towners new to Quonset might be turned off by the sometimes greasy, sodden pies. It's wonderful and awful at the same time. The dining room is a cute but... more

Growing up in an Italian neighborhood in Chicago, I was exposed to many great, neighborhood, family-owned restaurants. I've had a lot of good pizza. For my taste buds, this is the best. The crust is quite thin and crispy. The cheese is ample, and not just limited to Mozzarella. The sausage is truly unique - good quality meat with great... more

Quonset pizza is the best pizza I have had to eat. I grew up in North Chicago ....right next to Waukegan, and have been there many times. Other pizzas are good but not as good as quonset pizza. Hope to be back someday for pizza. more

I lived in Waukegan when I was a child and our family had Quonset Pizza almost every Friday night. I live in Florida now but whenever I go back for a visit I always go to Quonset for pizza. The last time, I brought a pizza back in my suitcase and when I got back home I called a few... more
