Joe's Italian Villa

My boyfriend and I dined in here a few weeks ago. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. Food: We started off with pink lemonade. It was solid. We then ordered a thin sausage pizza + a stuffed pepperoni pizza. We were told wait time would be about 20-30 mins depending on the pizza. The wait time was worth it, and reasonable too. The thin pizza was pretty good. The crust wasn't burned but not soggy either. It was a flaky, crispy crust with sweet sauce. The stuffed pizza was even better in my opinion! It was so delicious. I like the little detail of the pizza having pepperonis in the crust too. It was also not burned nor soggy – just right! The dough for both the thin and stuffed pizza was fairly easy to bite into. I want to also highlight the dessert; We got cannoli. The shell was crispy and sweet. It didn't crumble but it wasn't hard either. The sweet cream filling wasn't overpowering but wasn't plain either. I like that it had some chocolate chips in there too. I didn't even know Joe's had dessert, so I really wanted to highlight this. Overall, the food was made with a great balance. It had a nice presentation too. Service: I didn't catch her name, but the waiter was patient and kind. She checked up on us here and there. Prior to getting a table, I didn't have to wait too long to be seated. This was my first time at this place, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The delivery guy Jim was welcoming too. Everyone at Joe's seemed familiar with each other in some way, adding to the comfortable service and atmosphere. Atmosphere: Like the service, it was welcoming and comfortable. Although it's a small place, it's not overcrowded as people can get by the chairs and tables easily. The room temperature was comfortable too. Overall great experience. I'm happy to revisit this place with my boyfriend:)

Been a customer for over 50 years. My parents used to order every Friday. Now that I have my own family. I will drive the 45 min.to my pizza fix.

There is no better pizza in the Chicago area. Their sausage (made in house) is fantastic. Their pizza sauce is perfection. The staff is always kind and very attentive. So good that we regularly travel 50+ minutes for it!

It was my first time having real tavern style pizza and i was very happy with it. I was told this is what Midwesterners get to share with the homies and family and deep dish is special occasion food. It's very different but i like it. Just gotta get used to the way it's cut i guess. We had the sweetest waitress and everything came out super fast. We shared an appetizer platter and a pitcher of soda. Price was very fair and I'm excited to go back

The best pizza going in Palos and a true contender for best on the south side. Nice crispy thin crust with a sauce that’s not overly sweet. Top quality cheese that’s not greasy. Hidden gem is the meatballs if you’re looking for a quick app before or a sandwich. Go to Joes!!!

Delicious thin crust pizza. I had sausage, green pepper, and mushrooms. Incredible. My wife ordered the fried chicken. She loved it. We will definitely be back!

First time getting pizza from here and it was soo good! Whenever I order pizza I ask for it well done and it’s never right when I get it home but this place was complete opposite. It was well done leaving the crust nice and crunchy it was perfect. I don’t live down the street from here but I’ll def make the drive to pick up from here again. Also had sausage on the pizza and that was also very good coming from someone who doesn’t even care for sausage that much because of the fatty pieces but there was no problem with the sausage from here. If you haven’t tried this place before I recommend that you do!

I am an Insurance Agent doing Teacher Lunch & Learns at local elementary schools. Having to accommodate several lunch periods and dietary requests can be daunting. Additionally, a lot of local pizza places do not open until 4. Kevin was super nice and accommodating to help me feed a 10:45 lunch crew with hot, fresh delivery! I am indebted. The teachers raved about the pizza and I put up a sign letting them know it was from Joe's Italian Villa. May this business continue to be blessed. Thanks for making a stressful situation much, much better. On time deliveries and tasty food really make a difference.
