Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

White Cottage used to be my favorite but the last few years, it seems to have gone downhill a little. Their cheese seems tasteless and there is hardly any sauce on the pizza at all. A dry pizza makes for a bad pizza in my opinion. The pizza is just okay lately which is why I gave it the three star,A-OK rating. Not sure what happened but I am disappointed.

Recently my wife and I were recommended to go to White Cottage for pizza. Seeing that we are always up for trying new pizza we decided to venture out on a rainy Friday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the inside of this restaurant, it had that comfortable atmosphere that had you inside but convinced you were in a courtyard. We came for pizza but decided to try a few things to see what else they had to offer. First we had some of the focaccia bread they had to offer and I could have made a meal out of that and a bottle of wine! We started out with stuffed mushrooms, out of the norm for us, and both found them to be above average. Simply stuffed with sausage and drizzled with oil, they were a hit but not a light app. We then had a pizza and gnocchi in vodka sauce. The gnocchi was as good as you are going to find and the portion was perfect for 2 with some pizza or just for someone alone. The pizza was some of the best we have found in the area, generous (but not too much) of all the toppings and great cheese (even better the next day!) What tops the whole experience was the excellent service we got from George. All the regulars seems to like George and we could see why, attentive but not over bearing and extremely pleasant and cheerful. I honestly would never have found this place but I am so glad were heard about it and went. We will certainly return and be more adventurous on the menu in that I have no doubt they will be able to execute anything they have to the highest level!

I have been in Addison for 11 years many pizza places have come and gone, but white cottage has always been there to stay. Save your coupons and use them for your next visit. Always ask about their specials, and for big game days expect at least an hour. I never ...knock on wood in 11 years ever had to send a pizza back, or they forgot my order. When I have a house full of kids the stadium size pizza has always been the life saver. If you like a variety try the cheese,sausage, green pepper, and onion pizza - YUM and I love their dessert menu!

We have been looking for a good authentic Italian restaurant in the suburb for a long time. A friend of my recommended this restaurant and we decided to give it a try. We ordered fried calamari and stuffed baked clams for appetizer. The calamari and clams were fresh and cooked to perfection. The server was attentive. The pasta dish was flavorful. I highly recommend it and you will not be disappointed.
(5)Jay R.
Abbondanza.....Went here for lunch and was surprised how cute the dinning room is. A nice little atmosphere to enjoy some pretty solid Italian food in. I had the chicken, sausage special it was served with peppers onions and potato in a herb wine sauce. The pieces of chicken breast where tender and flavorful the sausage was not spicy but had a good flavor to it and the veggies where still crunchy but cooked. I would of liked to seen a side of pasta served with this dish would of rounded it out. The minestrone soup was also good but the capper for me was all the bread they serve you. When you sit down they put some focaccia pizza bread on the table I drizzled it with olive oil and cheese yummy. With the entree they brought a loaf of warm Italian bread which I also gave the olive oil cheese treatment to. I definite go to place if you are hungry for Italian in the Wood Dale area.
(4)Chuck K.
We had pasta and were very satisfied. It was all very cheesy so if you like cheese you will be over joyed with the pasta. The service was top notch too. Had some nice wine, limited selection but multiple good choices

I ordered a pizza Saturday night and was so disappointed . Four slices of my medium size pizza had melted pieces of paper in them omg I've never had this happen before and on top of it the pieces of paper were of their menu . I called and the girl gave me a $5 credit . They lost me as a customer and I still have that paper taste left on the tip of my mouth ugh !
(1)Hank B.
There was nothing special about their pizza....the layer of cheese on the thin crust was so think I was ready to call 911 to prepare them for a heart attack. The delivery guy was cool. I would probably not order from here again....its just too much...too much....too much
(3)SoSunnychicago S.
The pizza is great, and reasonably priced. Great wine selection. They have a nice big restaurant area. Nice enough to host a big family. Love the decor. Nice, comfortable setting for an evening dinner. You won't be under or overdressed. Huge parking lot. Favorites: calamari, wine
(4)Dennis D.
I have ordered there recently and I have to say, their food is really good. Today I ordered a panzerotti, and would pick it up at 2. I get there and I am told that they have ate my food. There is no reason why they would eat my order, as I clearly told them that I would pick it up at 2. I have never had that happen to me...ever. I will not order from this location ever again.
(2)Samantha V.
I looove the cheese on their thin crust. Delicious sauce, generous toppings and crisp crust. My local fave! I'm glad I live in wood dale so I can eat here often. The restaurant is also very romantic. Great for a date. Pretty decor. Delicious bread appetizer with oil and parmesan on the table. Makes me feel fancy and not too terribly expensive.
(5)Rowdy R.
The best in the midwest...been eating there pizza for over 25 years...always love going back home to wood dale to have one of there pizzas.
(5)Adriana E.
Recently moved to Addison and gave them a try! Delivery was pretty fast. We got the Deluxe thin crust and it was amazing. Plenty of cheese and toppings! Definitely worth the money! Will be ordering again soon!
(5)Kevin G.
Probably the second best thin crust pizza I've ever had. Protip: ask for your pizza cooked well done. 9.5/10
(5)Sarah D.
Casual but nice quant place on the edge of the industrial park. Quite A few business lunches were going on! Brought hot tomato focaccia, gratis to start with our drinks. I had a great Gluten free cheese pizza. The salads looked great and the artichoke ravioli my friend had was in a aglio olio sauce and was wonderful and light It is defiantly a do-over!
(5)Tony U.
This review only pertains to the pizza. I've never actually ever eaten in the dining area so I'm not sure what the dinners are like. I've had the thin pizza and the stuffed pizza. Their thin pizza is absolutely my favorite in the northwest suburbs. They are very generous with their toppings and even have humongous "Super Stadium" pizzas that serve about 15 people. We always get our thin pizza "well done." This means the cheese is slightly browned on top. We have family in from Canada and from Chicago and everybody loves the pizza. I've even had their Hawaiian pizza and it too is delicious. We order their pizza one or two times a month, and they always have coupons attached to the pizza as well as coupons in our mail. If you order a certain size pizza (family maybe?), you get a free 12" cheese pizza. Really good deal. But more importantly, the pizza is great. Now...don't overlook the stuffed pizza. It also is fantastic. I can only describe it's taste as being very similar to a Giordano's stuffed pizza. If this is your style, you should give the White Cottage stuffed pizza a try. All in all, our favorite neighborhood pizza place in the northwest suburbs.
(5)Bob B.
The thin crust pizza is amazing. As for the pasta, it's just ok. I really expected it to be better since the pizza is so good and the place is nice inside and the prices are not cheap. Most of the time the people in the pick up area are not very friendly. The delivery drivers are usually very friendly. I'll probably stick to the pizza.
(4)mindy K.
If you like greasy cheesy food this is the place for you. Even when I order my pizza easy cheese it is so greasy. Marinos pizza taste way better. And as far as their pasta goes its over priced and I can cook it way better at home.
(2)Kristian P.
Since I moved to the area, I tried multiple pizza places. White cottage has the best pizza in the area. Seems all ingredients are fresh. They have the best chicken bacon ranch pizza ever. Their delivery service is fast too. I'd recommend it to everyone
(5)Michael B.
I ALWAYS HAVE MINE DeLIVEReD!! i never eat in the restaurant so this is a delivery review.. For the most part, they have a decent pizza. I usually ask for a "well done" pizza when ordering. Its cooked a little bit more than normal and makes the crust a bit crunchier. The baked clams are ok but they usually get mushy during the delivery and the top of the clams are not baked to a crunch. The calamari gets a bit soggy as well during delivery but nothing a toaster oven wont fix.. I also recommend the shrimp as well. Prices are a bit overpriced for my liking too
(4)Susan B.
If you've never had an Italian beef pizza, I highly recommend you try one from White Cottage. My office used to be located closer to White Cottage so we would order pizzas all the time, the Italian beef being one of the variations. I haven't had it in a while so we decided to get one the other night. It is a lot different than your normal pizza. There is Italian beef (naturally), giardiniera, green pepper and onions. If you don't like spice, this isn't for you as it can get pretty spicy. I think I had to blow my nose a few times as this completely opened up my sinuses. We got a 14" and it was $20 so not terribly bad. When you order, make sure you mention "italian beef special". It is listed on their menu as such. We placed the order and just asked for Italian beef assuming we would get the special....had to make some adjustments when we arrived. Definitely going to come back and try the BBQ chicken and taco pizza.
(5)Ron S.
Ordered a sausage & mushroom pizza and it was just OK. The crust was chewy, not crispy (probably my mistake for not specifying thin and crispy). The cheese was "gloppy" and not very flavorful. On the plus side, the sausage was good and the mushrooms were fresh. Also ordered garlic bread which was a waste - threw half away. I'm not as impressed as I once was.
(3)Tina R.
Love white cottage the pizza is delicious and the service is great ... We have been ordering for years
(5)Michele S.
I can only recommend take out. That said, a bit pricey for what you get. Cheese is good on the pizza but sauce is too sweet for my preference. Linguine shrimp diavolo was not as flavorful and not nearly as "spicy" as preferred. Service was very good. We sat outside and watched the planes, trains, and automobiles.
(2)Fast Eddie F.
Very good pie. Very good CHICKEN! This place is a very pleasant surprise.
(4)David T.
Just to throw it out there, I have never been much of a Giordano's, so I wasn't a huge fan of the stuffed pizza. But taking a chance and going for White Cottage was a gamble that paid off. This is the best stuffed deep dish pizza I have ever had. Of course, the sauce and the toppings (or stuffings, if you like) had great flavor. The cheese wasn't overbearing over extremely chewy. But what made the pizza amazing for me was the crust. Unlike other deep dish pizzas, this one had a very soft, bakery-like crust which was tasty, and tasted like it had a slight hint of butter. Usually with deep dish pizzas the crust is cast off to the side. Not with this pizza, the crust helped make it a complete pizza. The only issue that I had with the pizza, as well as my beef with Giordano's, is that the "toppings" seemed a little skimpy. If you are looking for a Lou or Gino's East amount of sausage, you aren't going to get it. In hindsight, I would have scrapped the pepperoni and added extra sausage. That is, and always will be, a downside to a traditional Chicago stuffed pizza. Still, it was absolutely amazing and has restored my faith in stuffed deep dish pizzas!
(5)David M.
I decided to give these people another shot after all the ravings the barkeeper made about this place. So I called and spoke with Amber and ordered a large with sausage green pepper and onion well done with a coupon for a free cheese is I could share with the staff. Amber said it would be an hour which is average. The pizza showed up in about thirty minutes my first thought was that this pizza won't be cooked properly unless they have an oven in the truck. I paid and opened the box and I saw just what I expected an undercooked all white glob of barely cooked cheese. I tried to eat it anyway but the cheese was not cooked nor was the peppers onions and sausage. The staff was going to finish cooking it in the kitchen I just went to the vending machine and bought a microwave dinty Moore stew and went to my room and ate. The next night I stopped in the lounge the staff member apologized as he had never had a worse meal. I said maybe they kept my number on record and did it on purpose because of my previous review because nobody could give service so bad and food so nasty and stay in business. As for the cheese I have seen this before where the cheese won't brown properly even if they cooked it long enough because they use the low fat low moisture cheese pizza should be made with 100 percent mozzarella whole milk cheese to appear and taste like Chicago's world famous pizza As for me when I'm back in that area it will be tree guys or sorrentos

Worst experience ever..... Ordered a pizza and it never arrived unbelievably poor service.
(1)George M.
This is a great pizza joint....love the thin crust pepperoni pizza......delish
(4)Keith T.
This is my prefered pizza place i order from... they have the best pizza i've tried in the addison area so far i've had most items off their menu over the last 4-5 years and with a few exceptions I've enjoyed them all. i will say i'm not a fan of the calamari & some of their other appetizers because they either undercook or overcook some of them, and they drown their sandwiches with sauce... which makes the bread soggy & picking it up and eating it almost impossible and a fork & knife has to be used... but for pizza & pasta... 5 stars across the board the big downside to this place... and why i'm not giving them 4/5 stars is they are pretty expensive for a pizza place... also they don't deliver a "small" pizza, so when I'm alone and in the mood for their pizza, I'm stuck ordering a medium and eating off it for two days.... which can cost $25+ with a couple soda's and a tip... if it wasn't for those two issues I'd probably order from them exclusively... but the money i have to put out to have their pizza delivered has made me order from another place in the area... the pizza isn't as good in my opinion but they do deliver a small and i can save $10-ish overall... the pizza is top notch but you do pay a premium for it
(3)Kim M.
The pizza tastes like Pete's on Western. The CARRY OUT side of this establishment is wonderful! the restaurant is NOT White Cottage. It is La Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant, a totally different name. Crust and sauce here are what makes it. Just delicious. Worth the money.
(4)Alonso G.
Its a shame that i have to give this place a single star. I have not even had the opportunity to try the menu in its entirety. The past four times we have attempted to enjoy a meal from this place, the service has been absolutely horrible. two of the visits were in their dining room. The first time, our waitress was not very interested in helping us at all. The wings I ordered were not what I was served but they took so long that I did not send them back because i was starving. We let her know and was not offered a small discount, a free soda...nothing. i don't expect anything for free but there was no attempt to fix the problem, not even an apology. At he end of the same visit, we ordered the Italian Ice and were told that she doesn't recommend it because their freezer has been on the fritz and it was not good! Our second visit to their dining room was just as bad. It just seemed that because we went there with a larger group, the gratuity was going to be added and preset according to the bill. This made our waiter just disappear. Our wings came out wrong again and this time they were sent back. Again, no attempt to fix the situation. The next two experiences have been through delivery. We thought that maybe we would just try to eat at home since the pizza we did get to try was good. That was a huge mistake both times. The first time, I ordered 24 traditional breaded wings along with a few other things. I asked for the wing sauce to be on the side along with the bleu cheese dressing. For a 24 piece half pan of wings I was sent a 2oz cup of wing sauce. The delivery took forever so I did not want them to send someone with more wing sauce because everything would have been cold and greasy by the time I got the sauce so i did not want the order. I traveled there myself and returned all of the food. They offered to remake everything but after my two dining experiences there already, I did not want it. I was told that i would be refunded my money to my debit card and have yet to receive the credit. Rule number one for success in the restaurant industry....if you don't take care of your customers, someone else will!
(1)Jennifer S.
My office orders thin crust pizzas from here about once a month. The sauce is tasty, the crust is crispy and the Italian sausage is quite good. I am not a big fan of sausage on pizza, but they cook their sausage thoroughly so it's okay in my book. I just started to convince my co-workers that they like bacon on their pizza (as that is my favorite) and White Cottage does that up right, too. Their delivery times are accurate (even a little early sometimes) and their employees are pretty nice. It's been years since I have actually eaten at the restaurant, so I will have to do that soon and post an update. All in all, it's a quality pizza that everyone can agree on.
(3)Fate O.
Fate: Their thin crust pizza are so champ! They're the best pizza in west suburb. I have been there for over 25 years. Cons- their service sucks. Waiting for waitress too long.
(4)Casey A.
I just don't know.. Ok I'll round it up to a 4 because who goes to a pizza place and expects quality fries? I worked at this place for all 4 years of high school and I love the pizza still sooo I'd say that's saying something. We usually pick up our pizzas but I've had delivery as well and have no complaints.. Great local pizza!!

Happy Anniversary! I yelped 'pizza delivery' in Wood Dale, Il and found this lovely gem. I needed some pizzas delivered to my BF's work as a surprise 5th year anniversary gift for him. There's no website so I had to call and have a menu faxed over. The man on the phone was very friendly and had the 5 page menu faxed over before I could even walk over to my fax machine- now that's service! The prices are a bit high but I'd heard raving reviews about their pizzas. I settled with a 20" cheese and a 20" buffalo chicken pizza (has buffalo sauce, bleu cheese, bacon, chicken, etc. The cheese pizza was $21 and the buffalo chicken one was $40- yikes! But I knew my meat eating bf would love it. I called back to place my order and the young girl that answered the phone was also very friendly. She took my order, answered my questions, allowed me to pay for it over the phone and leave a tip for the driver, along with following through with my special request to write "Happy 5th Anniversary" on the pizza boxes. When the pizza arrived to my bf's work he was totally shocked. In fact, he thought someone was pranking him and he argued with the pizza man that those were not his pizzas and he was not paying for them... the pizza guy then said that they were from his girlfriend. My boyfriend, who had not totally remembered our anniversary (we never really celebrate them), was confused. The driver then says, the pizza boxes say "Happy Anniversary" and were paid for by Candice. He then smiles and tells the man he'd be more than happy to take those pizzas off his hands. My BF and his work raved about the pizzas and the 20" giant pizzas were more than enough food for his company to have for lunch, take home leftovers for dinner, and lunch the next day. My BF said that everyone agrees White Cottage is the best pizza place around there and the Buffalo Chicken was insane- my Bf said that it would make me want to eat meat again. My lovely man was kind enough to bring a piece of the cheese pizza home for me to try and it was quite delicious, even reheated. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars right now is because I want to try more than one reheated piece for myself before I give out the 5 sexy stars. I will defo be heading to White Cottage soon to get my pizza on and hopefully upgrading to 5 stars.
(4)Jason W.
I ordered the Chicago style stuffed pizza with sausage and was very disappointed. All I could taste was the cheese. It was just an over whelming amount of cheese. I guess maybe when ordering this pizza it needs a lot of different toppings. Also I ordered some buffalo wings. There was hardly a buffalo taste to any of the wings and the buffalo taste was not even that good. I spent 50 dollars for a delivery order and I am going to throw away most of the food because it is disgusting.
(1)Monika S.
Lived in Wood Dale for 5 years and never realized great pizza was so close! Sizes are confusing but you forget that once you get a delicious thin crust pizza slice in your mouth. Mmmmm, drool. We always get pick up service, times given are pretty spot on and staff is friendly.
(4)Katreena I.
Delivery service is not good. Putting in a phone order took 20 minutes! Literally. She could not understand anything... You're better off eating at the restaurant or going/ordering somewhere else.
(1)Christina A.
I am so lucky to have White Cottage within walking distance of my house... okay, my hips aren't so happy about it, but at least I can walk off the delicious pizza! I am just reviewing the take out / delivery operations of White Cottage today. White Cottage has the best pizza around (and I think the freshest ingredients); they even have Italian beef and giardiniera for a topping! I personally love that they have capers (another favorite). Their thin crust is superb; slightly salty, buttery and crispy. Another reason why I love White Cottage: they will give you plenty of freshly grated parmesan and red pepper and even paper plates (delivery) if you ask! Why I didn't give them five stars: 50% of the time the toppings are incorrect on delivery orders. I have come to learn that I will probably get all the correct ingredients but mixed up. For instance: last night we ordered half sausage and onion, half pepperoni and mushroom but we received half sausage and mushroom and half pepperoni and onion. Why the incorrect orders don't bother me too much: It's delicious.

A++++ been going here for years, always great pizza!
(5)Renita M.
White Cottage is a great choice for quality but standard-issue pizza. We keep meaning to try other things on their menu, but we keep going back to the pizza. (And occasionally the cheese-stuffed garlic breadsticks.) Someday we'll go inside, sit down and order some asiago gnocchi or a sub or some other delicious-sounding entree from their menu. See if it lives up to expectations. But for now I can tell you that the pizza is quite good. Taste in pizza is subjective, and I'm not even sure I can tell you what my "perfect" pizza is, but this is really, quite good. Solidly 4-star pizza. Lots of cheese, good sauce, tasty crust. Served hot and ready when they say it will be. What more could you want? Oh, and the garlic-cheese breadsticks are pure stuffed garlicky greasy deliciousness. Probably bad for us, but since they only come 3 to an order I don't feel too bad about it. On a side note, I will say that trying to turn north onto Wood Dale Road from Irving Park can be a giant pain in the butt at rush hour when there is a train... blocks both roads and nobody can go anywhere for 10 minutes and then trying to turn left into White Cottage... alas. The pizza's still worth it though.

Pizza alla Tony. A contender for the best pizza in the world.

The food here is awesome. The staff is superb as well. Tonya T.

The crust was tasteless, the pepperoni was really low quality, like what you would get at Aldi and this place is too expensive. Go to just about any neighborhood on the north side of Chicago and you will pay less for better quality. I wish these west suburban 'restaurants' would learn how to respect the ingredients and the customer instead of just ringing up the sales. They kind of make me sick.
(2)Edin D.
Best pizza ever, I've had so many different pizzas From all over, White Cottage is the best of all, the sauce is just right the cheese perfect. The dough is always just right never burnt or crispy. Delivery or Pick up Pizza is always hot and ready to go. Best pizza!
(5)Amanda F.
This is my favorite place in the world for thin crust pizza!! They put the perfect proportion of cheese and sauce, and their toppings are fresh. I usually will get sausage, green pepper, and onion. Their specialty pizzas are good too. I have had the buffalo chicken pizza before and that is really good if you're looking for some pizza that's slightly outside the box. The to go staff is usually young local teens, but they are so polite and always serve you with a smile. They are also very willing to work with local groups. I was on the Wood Dale swim team for a number of years and even coached one summer. They had our end of the year parties for us a couple times. Despite serving a bunch of kids, the service was great and the staff was friendly making sure we had everything we needed. In fact, I love this restaurant and their pizza so much, this is where I am having the rehearsal dinner for my wedding. It is such a great example of Chicago thin crust.
(5)Kelly H.
This is the best pizza place in the western suburbs. Being from the city where great pizza was abundant, we searched high and low for a decent thin crust pizza out here. I am so glad we gave White Cottage a try! White Cottage thin crust pizza has always been delivered fast and fresh. We love just their plain cheese, but also enjoyed their BBQ chicken za. It is always covered in a ton of amazing cheese with a delicious sauce. If you are also in the quest to find that "the go to" pizza place in the burbs, give White Cottage a try. You will not be disappointed!!!
(5)Beth M.
Elgin location...Mediocre pizza... Terrible customer service. When I accidentally left the coupon at home when I went to pick up the pizzas, they told me I had to return that evening to bring the coupon or they will charge me full price. I have never had to do that at the other take-out places I go to. When I returned with the coupon, the 2 "ladies" handeling the front ignored me and helped people who came in after me. Finally, someone came out from the back, and took the coupon. No apology, or thanking me for my business... We will never go to that place again.

The pizza was some of the best we have found in the area, generous (but not too much) of all the toppings and great cheese (even better the next day!) What tops the whole experience was the excellent service we got from George. All the regulars seems to like George and we could see why, attentive but not over bearing and extremely pleasant and cheerful. I honestly would never have found this place but I am so glad were heard about it and went. We will certainly return and be more adventurous on the menu in that I have no doubt they will be able to execute anything they have to the highest level!

I have been in Addison for 11 years many pizza places have come and gone, but white cottage has always been there to stay. Save your coupons and use them for your next visit. Always ask about their specials, and for big game days expect at least an hour. I never ...knock on wood in 11 years ever had to send a pizza back, or they forgot my order. When I have a house full of kids the stadium size pizza has always been the life saver. If you like a variety try the cheese,sausage, green pepper, and onion pizza - YUM and I love their dessert menu!

I have ordered there recently and I have to say, their food is really good. Today I ordered a panzerotti, and would pick it up at 2. I get there and I am told that they have ate my food. There is no reason why they would eat my order, as I clearly told them that I would pick it up at 2. I have never had that happen to me...ever. I will not order from this location ever again.

I looove the cheese on their thin crust. Delicious sauce, generous toppings and crisp crust. My local fave! I'm glad I live in wood dale so I can eat here often. The restaurant is also very romantic. Great for a date. Pretty decor. Delicious bread appetizer with oil and parmesan on the table. Makes me feel fancy and not too terribly expensive.
(5)Rowdy R.
The best in the midwest...been eating there pizza for over 25 years...always love going back home to wood dale to have one of there pizzas.
(5)Adriana E.
Recently moved to Addison and gave them a try! Delivery was pretty fast. We got the Deluxe thin crust and it was amazing. Plenty of cheese and toppings! Definitely worth the money! Will be ordering again soon!
(5)Kevin G.
Probably the second best thin crust pizza I've ever had. Protip: ask for your pizza cooked well done. 9.5/10
(5)Sarah D.
Casual but nice quant place on the edge of the industrial park. Quite A few business lunches were going on! Brought hot tomato focaccia, gratis to start with our drinks. I had a great Gluten free cheese pizza. The salads looked great and the artichoke ravioli my friend had was in a aglio olio sauce and was wonderful and light It is defiantly a do-over!

This review only pertains to the pizza. I've never actually ever eaten in the dining area so I'm not sure what the dinners are like. I've had the thin pizza and the stuffed pizza. Their thin pizza is absolutely my favorite in the northwest suburbs. They are very generous with their toppings and even have humongous "Super Stadium" pizzas that serve about 15 people. We always get our thin pizza "well done." This means the cheese is slightly browned on top. We have family in from Canada and from Chicago and everybody loves the pizza. I've even had their Hawaiian pizza and it too is delicious. We order their pizza one or two times a month, and they always have coupons attached to the pizza as well as coupons in our mail. If you order a certain size pizza (family maybe?), you get a free 12" cheese pizza. Really good deal. But more importantly, the pizza is great. Now...don't overlook the stuffed pizza. It also is fantastic. I can only describe it's taste as being very similar to a Giordano's stuffed pizza. If this is your style, you should give the White Cottage stuffed pizza a try. All in all, our favorite neighborhood pizza place in the northwest suburbs.

The thin crust pizza is amazing. As for the pasta, it's just ok. I really expected it to be better since the pizza is so good and the place is nice inside and the prices are not cheap. Most of the time the people in the pick up area are not very friendly. The delivery drivers are usually very friendly. I'll probably stick to the pizza.
(4)mindy K.
If you like greasy cheesy food this is the place for you. Even when I order my pizza easy cheese it is so greasy. Marinos pizza taste way better. And as far as their pasta goes its over priced and I can cook it way better at home.
(2)Kristian P.
Since I moved to the area, I tried multiple pizza places. White cottage has the best pizza in the area. Seems all ingredients are fresh. They have the best chicken bacon ranch pizza ever. Their delivery service is fast too. I'd recommend it to everyone

If you've never had an Italian beef pizza, I highly recommend you try one from White Cottage. My office used to be located closer to White Cottage so we would order pizzas all the time, the Italian beef being one of the variations. I haven't had it in a while so we decided to get one the other night. It is a lot different than your normal pizza. There is Italian beef (naturally), giardiniera, green pepper and onions. If you don't like spice, this isn't for you as it can get pretty spicy. I think I had to blow my nose a few times as this completely opened up my sinuses. We got a 14" and it was $20 so not terribly bad. When you order, make sure you mention "italian beef special". It is listed on their menu as such. We placed the order and just asked for Italian beef assuming we would get the special....had to make some adjustments when we arrived. Definitely going to come back and try the BBQ chicken and taco pizza.
(5)Ron S.
Ordered a sausage & mushroom pizza and it was just OK. The crust was chewy, not crispy (probably my mistake for not specifying thin and crispy). The cheese was "gloppy" and not very flavorful. On the plus side, the sausage was good and the mushrooms were fresh. Also ordered garlic bread which was a waste - threw half away. I'm not as impressed as I once was.
(3)Tina R.
Love white cottage the pizza is delicious and the service is great ... We have been ordering for years
(5)Michele S.
I can only recommend take out. That said, a bit pricey for what you get. Cheese is good on the pizza but sauce is too sweet for my preference. Linguine shrimp diavolo was not as flavorful and not nearly as "spicy" as preferred. Service was very good. We sat outside and watched the planes, trains, and automobiles.
(2)Fast Eddie F.
Very good pie. Very good CHICKEN! This place is a very pleasant surprise.
(4)David T.
Just to throw it out there, I have never been much of a Giordano's, so I wasn't a huge fan of the stuffed pizza. But taking a chance and going for White Cottage was a gamble that paid off. This is the best stuffed deep dish pizza I have ever had. Of course, the sauce and the toppings (or stuffings, if you like) had great flavor. The cheese wasn't overbearing over extremely chewy. But what made the pizza amazing for me was the crust. Unlike other deep dish pizzas, this one had a very soft, bakery-like crust which was tasty, and tasted like it had a slight hint of butter. Usually with deep dish pizzas the crust is cast off to the side. Not with this pizza, the crust helped make it a complete pizza. The only issue that I had with the pizza, as well as my beef with Giordano's, is that the "toppings" seemed a little skimpy. If you are looking for a Lou or Gino's East amount of sausage, you aren't going to get it. In hindsight, I would have scrapped the pepperoni and added extra sausage. That is, and always will be, a downside to a traditional Chicago stuffed pizza. Still, it was absolutely amazing and has restored my faith in stuffed deep dish pizzas!
(5)David M.
I decided to give these people another shot after all the ravings the barkeeper made about this place. So I called and spoke with Amber and ordered a large with sausage green pepper and onion well done with a coupon for a free cheese is I could share with the staff. Amber said it would be an hour which is average. The pizza showed up in about thirty minutes my first thought was that this pizza won't be cooked properly unless they have an oven in the truck. I paid and opened the box and I saw just what I expected an undercooked all white glob of barely cooked cheese. I tried to eat it anyway but the cheese was not cooked nor was the peppers onions and sausage. The staff was going to finish cooking it in the kitchen I just went to the vending machine and bought a microwave dinty Moore stew and went to my room and ate. The next night I stopped in the lounge the staff member apologized as he had never had a worse meal. I said maybe they kept my number on record and did it on purpose because of my previous review because nobody could give service so bad and food so nasty and stay in business. As for the cheese I have seen this before where the cheese won't brown properly even if they cooked it long enough because they use the low fat low moisture cheese pizza should be made with 100 percent mozzarella whole milk cheese to appear and taste like Chicago's world famous pizza As for me when I'm back in that area it will be tree guys or sorrentos
(1)Jeff B.
Worst experience ever..... Ordered a pizza and it never arrived unbelievably poor service.
(1)George M.
This is a great pizza joint....love the thin crust pepperoni pizza......delish
(4)Alonso G.
Its a shame that i have to give this place a single star. I have not even had the opportunity to try the menu in its entirety. The past four times we have attempted to enjoy a meal from this place, the service has been absolutely horrible. two of the visits were in their dining room. The first time, our waitress was not very interested in helping us at all. The wings I ordered were not what I was served but they took so long that I did not send them back because i was starving. We let her know and was not offered a small discount, a free soda...nothing. i don't expect anything for free but there was no attempt to fix the problem, not even an apology. At he end of the same visit, we ordered the Italian Ice and were told that she doesn't recommend it because their freezer has been on the fritz and it was not good! Our second visit to their dining room was just as bad. It just seemed that because we went there with a larger group, the gratuity was going to be added and preset according to the bill. This made our waiter just disappear. Our wings came out wrong again and this time they were sent back. Again, no attempt to fix the situation. The next two experiences have been through delivery. We thought that maybe we would just try to eat at home since the pizza we did get to try was good. That was a huge mistake both times. The first time, I ordered 24 traditional breaded wings along with a few other things. I asked for the wing sauce to be on the side along with the bleu cheese dressing. For a 24 piece half pan of wings I was sent a 2oz cup of wing sauce. The delivery took forever so I did not want them to send someone with more wing sauce because everything would have been cold and greasy by the time I got the sauce so i did not want the order. I traveled there myself and returned all of the food. They offered to remake everything but after my two dining experiences there already, I did not want it. I was told that i would be refunded my money to my debit card and have yet to receive the credit. Rule number one for success in the restaurant industry....if you don't take care of your customers, someone else will!
(1)Jennifer S.
My office orders thin crust pizzas from here about once a month. The sauce is tasty, the crust is crispy and the Italian sausage is quite good. I am not a big fan of sausage on pizza, but they cook their sausage thoroughly so it's okay in my book. I just started to convince my co-workers that they like bacon on their pizza (as that is my favorite) and White Cottage does that up right, too. Their delivery times are accurate (even a little early sometimes) and their employees are pretty nice. It's been years since I have actually eaten at the restaurant, so I will have to do that soon and post an update. All in all, it's a quality pizza that everyone can agree on.
(3)Fate O.
Fate: Their thin crust pizza are so champ! They're the best pizza in west suburb. I have been there for over 25 years. Cons- their service sucks. Waiting for waitress too long.
(4)A C.
Excellent pizza, I'm new in the area and white cottage was recommended. Small cheese and sausage. I will be back for sure
(4)SoSunnychicago S.
The pizza is great, and reasonably priced. Great wine selection. They have a nice big restaurant area. Nice enough to host a big family. Love the decor. Nice, comfortable setting for an evening dinner. You won't be under or overdressed. Huge parking lot. Favorites: calamari, wine
(4)Theresa Z.
We have been looking for a good authentic Italian restaurant in the suburb for a long time. A friend of my recommended this restaurant and we decided to give it a try. We ordered fried calamari and stuffed baked clams for appetizer. The calamari and clams were fresh and cooked to perfection. The server was attentive. The pasta dish was flavorful. I highly recommend it and you will not be disappointed.
(5)Jay R.
Abbondanza.....Went here for lunch and was surprised how cute the dinning room is. A nice little atmosphere to enjoy some pretty solid Italian food in. I had the chicken, sausage special it was served with peppers onions and potato in a herb wine sauce. The pieces of chicken breast where tender and flavorful the sausage was not spicy but had a good flavor to it and the veggies where still crunchy but cooked. I would of liked to seen a side of pasta served with this dish would of rounded it out. The minestrone soup was also good but the capper for me was all the bread they serve you. When you sit down they put some focaccia pizza bread on the table I drizzled it with olive oil and cheese yummy. With the entree they brought a loaf of warm Italian bread which I also gave the olive oil cheese treatment to. I definite go to place if you are hungry for Italian in the Wood Dale area.
(4)Allan B.
Great pizza and great service!!!! I have been going there for 40 years now and the food has always been good... Enjoy
(5)Jess F.
White Cottage used to be my favorite but the last few years, it seems to have gone downhill a little. Their cheese seems tasteless and there is hardly any sauce on the pizza at all. A dry pizza makes for a bad pizza in my opinion. The pizza is just okay lately which is why I gave it the three star,A-OK rating. Not sure what happened but I am disappointed.
(3)Chuck K.
We had pasta and were very satisfied. It was all very cheesy so if you like cheese you will be over joyed with the pasta. The service was top notch too. Had some nice wine, limited selection but multiple good choices
(4)Lisa D.
I ordered a pizza Saturday night and was so disappointed . Four slices of my medium size pizza had melted pieces of paper in them omg I've never had this happen before and on top of it the pieces of paper were of their menu . I called and the girl gave me a $5 credit . They lost me as a customer and I still have that paper taste left on the tip of my mouth ugh !
(1)Hank B.
There was nothing special about their pizza....the layer of cheese on the thin crust was so think I was ready to call 911 to prepare them for a heart attack. The delivery guy was cool. I would probably not order from here again....its just too much...too much....too much
(3)Keith T.
This is my prefered pizza place i order from... they have the best pizza i've tried in the addison area so far i've had most items off their menu over the last 4-5 years and with a few exceptions I've enjoyed them all. i will say i'm not a fan of the calamari & some of their other appetizers because they either undercook or overcook some of them, and they drown their sandwiches with sauce... which makes the bread soggy & picking it up and eating it almost impossible and a fork & knife has to be used... but for pizza & pasta... 5 stars across the board the big downside to this place... and why i'm not giving them 4/5 stars is they are pretty expensive for a pizza place... also they don't deliver a "small" pizza, so when I'm alone and in the mood for their pizza, I'm stuck ordering a medium and eating off it for two days.... which can cost $25+ with a couple soda's and a tip... if it wasn't for those two issues I'd probably order from them exclusively... but the money i have to put out to have their pizza delivered has made me order from another place in the area... the pizza isn't as good in my opinion but they do deliver a small and i can save $10-ish overall... the pizza is top notch but you do pay a premium for it
(3)Kim M.
The pizza tastes like Pete's on Western. The CARRY OUT side of this establishment is wonderful! the restaurant is NOT White Cottage. It is La Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant, a totally different name. Crust and sauce here are what makes it. Just delicious. Worth the money.
(4)Michael B.
I ALWAYS HAVE MINE DeLIVEReD!! i never eat in the restaurant so this is a delivery review.. For the most part, they have a decent pizza. I usually ask for a "well done" pizza when ordering. Its cooked a little bit more than normal and makes the crust a bit crunchier. The baked clams are ok but they usually get mushy during the delivery and the top of the clams are not baked to a crunch. The calamari gets a bit soggy as well during delivery but nothing a toaster oven wont fix.. I also recommend the shrimp as well. Prices are a bit overpriced for my liking too
(4)Casey A.
I just don't know.. Ok I'll round it up to a 4 because who goes to a pizza place and expects quality fries? I worked at this place for all 4 years of high school and I love the pizza still sooo I'd say that's saying something. We usually pick up our pizzas but I've had delivery as well and have no complaints.. Great local pizza!!
(4)Candice G.
Happy Anniversary! I yelped 'pizza delivery' in Wood Dale, Il and found this lovely gem. I needed some pizzas delivered to my BF's work as a surprise 5th year anniversary gift for him. There's no website so I had to call and have a menu faxed over. The man on the phone was very friendly and had the 5 page menu faxed over before I could even walk over to my fax machine- now that's service! The prices are a bit high but I'd heard raving reviews about their pizzas. I settled with a 20" cheese and a 20" buffalo chicken pizza (has buffalo sauce, bleu cheese, bacon, chicken, etc. The cheese pizza was $21 and the buffalo chicken one was $40- yikes! But I knew my meat eating bf would love it. I called back to place my order and the young girl that answered the phone was also very friendly. She took my order, answered my questions, allowed me to pay for it over the phone and leave a tip for the driver, along with following through with my special request to write "Happy 5th Anniversary" on the pizza boxes. When the pizza arrived to my bf's work he was totally shocked. In fact, he thought someone was pranking him and he argued with the pizza man that those were not his pizzas and he was not paying for them... the pizza guy then said that they were from his girlfriend. My boyfriend, who had not totally remembered our anniversary (we never really celebrate them), was confused. The driver then says, the pizza boxes say "Happy Anniversary" and were paid for by Candice. He then smiles and tells the man he'd be more than happy to take those pizzas off his hands. My BF and his work raved about the pizzas and the 20" giant pizzas were more than enough food for his company to have for lunch, take home leftovers for dinner, and lunch the next day. My BF said that everyone agrees White Cottage is the best pizza place around there and the Buffalo Chicken was insane- my Bf said that it would make me want to eat meat again. My lovely man was kind enough to bring a piece of the cheese pizza home for me to try and it was quite delicious, even reheated. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars right now is because I want to try more than one reheated piece for myself before I give out the 5 sexy stars. I will defo be heading to White Cottage soon to get my pizza on and hopefully upgrading to 5 stars.
(4)Jason W.
I ordered the Chicago style stuffed pizza with sausage and was very disappointed. All I could taste was the cheese. It was just an over whelming amount of cheese. I guess maybe when ordering this pizza it needs a lot of different toppings. Also I ordered some buffalo wings. There was hardly a buffalo taste to any of the wings and the buffalo taste was not even that good. I spent 50 dollars for a delivery order and I am going to throw away most of the food because it is disgusting.
(1)Monika S.
Lived in Wood Dale for 5 years and never realized great pizza was so close! Sizes are confusing but you forget that once you get a delicious thin crust pizza slice in your mouth. Mmmmm, drool. We always get pick up service, times given are pretty spot on and staff is friendly.
(4)Katreena I.
Delivery service is not good. Putting in a phone order took 20 minutes! Literally. She could not understand anything... You're better off eating at the restaurant or going/ordering somewhere else.
(1)Christina A.
I am so lucky to have White Cottage within walking distance of my house... okay, my hips aren't so happy about it, but at least I can walk off the delicious pizza! I am just reviewing the take out / delivery operations of White Cottage today. White Cottage has the best pizza around (and I think the freshest ingredients); they even have Italian beef and giardiniera for a topping! I personally love that they have capers (another favorite). Their thin crust is superb; slightly salty, buttery and crispy. Another reason why I love White Cottage: they will give you plenty of freshly grated parmesan and red pepper and even paper plates (delivery) if you ask! Why I didn't give them five stars: 50% of the time the toppings are incorrect on delivery orders. I have come to learn that I will probably get all the correct ingredients but mixed up. For instance: last night we ordered half sausage and onion, half pepperoni and mushroom but we received half sausage and mushroom and half pepperoni and onion. Why the incorrect orders don't bother me too much: It's delicious.
(4)Dan W.
A++++ been going here for years, always great pizza!
(5)Duncan S.
I like the pizza here, used to get it for work all the time. The thin crust. Won't blow your socks off, better than your average local joint, I recommend it
(4)Renato P.
The Pizza is decent here ,and I ordered here multiple times before I found some place I liked better. The food on the other hand was mediocre at best. I thought the stuffed clams were alright , my wife HATED them. I was not a big fan of the chicken vesuvio. I did not like the mosticolli with meatballs , and I ended up eating it because my wife didn't like it either. Pizza is a 3.5 star , the food is a 2 star, I'll round up the average because they had bitchin desserts. Canoli , tiramasu ,and cheesecake (elis) were awesome.
(3)Tony K.
Damn good pizza! Not as good as it COULD be but good enough for me to keep ordering from them when Im around. The actual restraunt is a Pizza Hut looking joint.
(4)Deonna L.
They make the best pizza I have ever tasted! I say "tasted," because I am being honest! I haven't tried every pizza in the world. If you are a pizza lover I suggest trying it for your self. Their pizza is amazing! They do have other dishes on the menu, like pastas since White Cottage is also an Italian restaurant. They do deliver, so nothing should stop you. Actually if you can get it delivered that is probably best since the restaurant is kind of small for groups. If this is your first time trying there food I do suggest the pizza! Oh and No, I don't work for White Cottage I am just a huge fan of pizza!
(5)Renita M.
White Cottage is a great choice for quality but standard-issue pizza. We keep meaning to try other things on their menu, but we keep going back to the pizza. (And occasionally the cheese-stuffed garlic breadsticks.) Someday we'll go inside, sit down and order some asiago gnocchi or a sub or some other delicious-sounding entree from their menu. See if it lives up to expectations. But for now I can tell you that the pizza is quite good. Taste in pizza is subjective, and I'm not even sure I can tell you what my "perfect" pizza is, but this is really, quite good. Solidly 4-star pizza. Lots of cheese, good sauce, tasty crust. Served hot and ready when they say it will be. What more could you want? Oh, and the garlic-cheese breadsticks are pure stuffed garlicky greasy deliciousness. Probably bad for us, but since they only come 3 to an order I don't feel too bad about it. On a side note, I will say that trying to turn north onto Wood Dale Road from Irving Park can be a giant pain in the butt at rush hour when there is a train... blocks both roads and nobody can go anywhere for 10 minutes and then trying to turn left into White Cottage... alas. The pizza's still worth it though.
(4)Danielle S.
Pizza alla Tony. A contender for the best pizza in the world.
(5)Tanya S.
Expensive Pizza. Cool combinations.
(4)LaTonya H.
The food here is awesome. The staff is superb as well. Tonya T.
(5)Christopher B.
The crust was tasteless, the pepperoni was really low quality, like what you would get at Aldi and this place is too expensive. Go to just about any neighborhood on the north side of Chicago and you will pay less for better quality. I wish these west suburban 'restaurants' would learn how to respect the ingredients and the customer instead of just ringing up the sales. They kind of make me sick.
(2)Edin D.
Best pizza ever, I've had so many different pizzas From all over, White Cottage is the best of all, the sauce is just right the cheese perfect. The dough is always just right never burnt or crispy. Delivery or Pick up Pizza is always hot and ready to go. Best pizza!
(5)Laurel S.
This is by far the best pizza ever. We live outside their delivery area but that doesn't matter at all we order as often as possible. There is nothing not to like about this pizza, it is absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!!!
(5)Amanda F.
This is my favorite place in the world for thin crust pizza!! They put the perfect proportion of cheese and sauce, and their toppings are fresh. I usually will get sausage, green pepper, and onion. Their specialty pizzas are good too. I have had the buffalo chicken pizza before and that is really good if you're looking for some pizza that's slightly outside the box. The to go staff is usually young local teens, but they are so polite and always serve you with a smile. They are also very willing to work with local groups. I was on the Wood Dale swim team for a number of years and even coached one summer. They had our end of the year parties for us a couple times. Despite serving a bunch of kids, the service was great and the staff was friendly making sure we had everything we needed. In fact, I love this restaurant and their pizza so much, this is where I am having the rehearsal dinner for my wedding. It is such a great example of Chicago thin crust.
(5)Kelly H.
This is the best pizza place in the western suburbs. Being from the city where great pizza was abundant, we searched high and low for a decent thin crust pizza out here. I am so glad we gave White Cottage a try! White Cottage thin crust pizza has always been delivered fast and fresh. We love just their plain cheese, but also enjoyed their BBQ chicken za. It is always covered in a ton of amazing cheese with a delicious sauce. If you are also in the quest to find that "the go to" pizza place in the burbs, give White Cottage a try. You will not be disappointed!!!
(5)Beth M.
Elgin location...Mediocre pizza... Terrible customer service. When I accidentally left the coupon at home when I went to pick up the pizzas, they told me I had to return that evening to bring the coupon or they will charge me full price. I have never had to do that at the other take-out places I go to. When I returned with the coupon, the 2 "ladies" handeling the front ignored me and helped people who came in after me. Finally, someone came out from the back, and took the coupon. No apology, or thanking me for my business... We will never go to that place again.
(1)Michael M.
We get their pizza all the time. Best thin crust around. Barbecue chicken pizza is great
(4)Tammy L.
there are so many better places to get pizza from in the area. I find WC pizza to be very gressy and not good.
(2)Chris R.
Best place around the Elk Grove Area. Italian Beef pizza and Southwest BBQ are really good but the good old Cheese is better than any around our areas as most places are pretty standard/hit or miss cookie cutter joints. Except Lou Malnati's but thats a whole other category of Pizza...
(4)Brian Z.
We have ordered delivery from here a few times. We normally order a thin crust pizza for my wife, and a pan for me (not stuffed). The toppings, sauce, cheese, and crust are all great. This is definitely quality pizza. As others have said, it's a bit greasy, but I can live with that. The reason for the down-ranking is because of the value (or lack thereof). Maybe I'm spoiled with lesser-quality chain pizzas, where you can usually get two large pies delivered for roughly $25 with a coupon, but every time I order from White Cottage, I seem to be spending $50, even with a 10% off coupon. Maybe I'm using the wrong coupons, but $50 for two pies is a bit tough to take. Am I the only one? Anyways, if you think the price is acceptable, this is definitely good pizza.
(3)Lauren S.
AMAZING!! Ive lived in wood dale a majority of my life and this is the best pizza I've ever had! Not even just the pizza, the ghocchi is fabulous, the chicken vesivio is 10 stars, I mean, literally everything is fabulous! The pizza there can literally be done anyway you want! if you want xtra thin or extra thick or pan or deep dish, you got it!! They can put anything you think of on these pizzzas. I've had meatball pizzas, pineapple and bbq sauce (my personal fav), pizzas with alfredo sauce instread of red sauce. You can do what ever you like! And you must try the foccacia when you go in! if you get take out ask for a slice, its 75 cents and worth every penny. They make it fresh every morning so make sure you get it early! The owners of White Cottage, Tom and Tony and two wonderful wonderful people.
(5)Melissa Z.
Wow. My best friend during my adolescence moved away from Wooddale when we were 14. When she got her driver's liscence at 16, the first thing she did was drive 45 minutes to White Cottage. For Real. Its that Good. This pizza is phenomenal. Even the plain cheese is fantastic! Something about their special blend of cheese, its just amazing. Buttery, gooey, flavorful, and they always make them piping hot!! They have been getting a little expensive over the years, but its WELL worth it! Haven't you noticed that shitty pizza makes you feel like shit? I LOVE White Cottage pizza, and whenever I'm back in WoodDale, I always order a pizza - even if I'm not hungry! Cuz the leftovers are just as good!
(5)Sue D.
I've only had the pizza here and it was good. Cesar Salad, not so much., tasteless and lettuce was crisp but had a funny taste. I hope they redeem themselves next time.
(2)James M.
They have always had great pizza and the place is spotless with attentive service. I've loved their pizza for over 30 years that I've been in the area.
(4)M M.
So... I work out a lot. I eat a lot of fruits and a decent amount of vegetables. Overall, I'm in really good health, but seriously... I've got to stop... just... have to stop. We've had White Cottage pizza before, but it was awhile ago and wasn't fresh enough in my memory to warrant writing a review. Now that we've had it once again I can safely say this place is easily in my top three for area pizza places. The crust is nice and crispy, the cheese has an excellent flavor and texture, the sauce is just about perfect. All around it's just a thing of beauty. The only thing that keeps it from being the tip-top is that it's a bit on the greasy side. Have a paper towel ready to soak some of that up. Other than that though, you'd still be hard-pressed to find anything significantly better than what you get here here, especially for that price.
(4)Jay W.
Great grigliatta. Ask for it special with baked clams. Great pizza, but expensive. Very. Rest of their food is good but nothing comes to mind that stands out from the crowd, compared to the Italian restaurants we frequent. Nevertheless, try it. AFAIK the Wooddale location is still closed on Sundays. Crazy but true.
(4)Frank R.
This place was around before Mario's, when there were not many places in the charming little town of Wood Dale; so for that alone it deserves praise. The food is good, without necesarily blowing you away. (Obviously way better than that ubiquitous "Italian" chain which fortunately is nowhere near WD, Bensenville, or Itasca.) But alas, since I moved, I have found no good reason to return now that I live near Hillside and work in Oak Park, where there are equally good, in fact better options at a much closer distance. In other words, a TRULY 5-Star place would have had me coming back to the area many times, which this has not.

should not get one star even! after waiting two hours to get our food because they claimed to be stuck behind a train, we finally started eating to find a huge beetle in our pasta! these people are sick! they should be shut down!

My fiancee tells me about this place every Friday. He kept bragging how good the pizza was and that it was the best pizza he's ever had. Now, coming from a guy who eats nothing but chicken nuggets and who thinks Campbell's Tomato soup is godsend...I wasn't buying it. We walked in and the ambiance felt just right. The place was dimly lit but not dark. Pretty cozy, white linen tables, tall glass bottles of olive oil, plastic grapes tastefully hanging from the ceilings, great decor. When we were seated, quickly, we were given two medium sized wedges of fresh warm bread topped with a smear of thick tomato sauce. I dipped mine with the olive oil. The olive oil was so good and slightly flavored. We ordered half cheese (guess who's ordered that) and half special with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. All I can say is: OH MY GOD! The pizza was excellent! It was.....the best pizza I've ever tasted. There was just the right amount of sauce, not too little, not too much, not too thin, not too thick. The sausage was real lumps of Italian sausage, thin-sliced spicy/slightly salty pepperoni rounds, fresh mushrooms, crisp onions and green peppers cut in perfect sizes. The crust was not too thin, not dry, mildly buttery, and it didn't break under the weight of the toppings. The cheese was the highlight. I don't know where they get the cheese. I'm sure the cows get pedicures and other spa treatments and sparkling water because this cheese was to die for. We ordered cocktails and they were pretty good and had the right amount of liquor. About $6 a glass. Our total bill for two was about $36 after tax & tip for two drinks and a medium pizza. I was full after three slices of pizza. The leftovers were just as good the next day. This is a great place for a romantic date!

Ordered a sausage & mushroom pizza and it was just OK. The crust was chewy, not crispy (probably my mistake for not specifying thin and crispy). The cheese was "gloppy" and not very flavorful. On the plus side, the sausage was good and the mushrooms were fresh. Also ordered garlic bread which was a waste - threw half away. I'm not as impressed as I once was.
(3)Tina R.
Love white cottage the pizza is delicious and the service is great ... We have been ordering for years
(5)Christopher B.
The crust was tasteless, the pepperoni was really low quality, like what you would get at Aldi and this place is too expensive. Go to just about any neighborhood on the north side of Chicago and you will pay less for better quality. I wish these west suburban 'restaurants' would learn how to respect the ingredients and the customer instead of just ringing up the sales. They kind of make me sick.
(2)Edin D.
Best pizza ever, I've had so many different pizzas From all over, White Cottage is the best of all, the sauce is just right the cheese perfect. The dough is always just right never burnt or crispy. Delivery or Pick up Pizza is always hot and ready to go. Best pizza!
(5)Tammy L.
there are so many better places to get pizza from in the area. I find WC pizza to be very gressy and not good.
(2)Brian Z.
We have ordered delivery from here a few times. We normally order a thin crust pizza for my wife, and a pan for me (not stuffed). The toppings, sauce, cheese, and crust are all great. This is definitely quality pizza. As others have said, it's a bit greasy, but I can live with that. The reason for the down-ranking is because of the value (or lack thereof). Maybe I'm spoiled with lesser-quality chain pizzas, where you can usually get two large pies delivered for roughly $25 with a coupon, but every time I order from White Cottage, I seem to be spending $50, even with a 10% off coupon. Maybe I'm using the wrong coupons, but $50 for two pies is a bit tough to take. Am I the only one? Anyways, if you think the price is acceptable, this is definitely good pizza.

AMAZING!! Ive lived in wood dale a majority of my life and this is the best pizza I've ever had! Not even just the pizza, the ghocchi is fabulous, the chicken vesivio is 10 stars, I mean, literally everything is fabulous! The pizza there can literally be done anyway you want! if you want xtra thin or extra thick or pan or deep dish, you got it!! They can put anything you think of on these pizzzas. I've had meatball pizzas, pineapple and bbq sauce (my personal fav), pizzas with alfredo sauce instread of red sauce. You can do what ever you like! And you must try the foccacia when you go in! if you get take out ask for a slice, its 75 cents and worth every penny. They make it fresh every morning so make sure you get it early! The owners of White Cottage, Tom and Tony and two wonderful wonderful people.

This is my favorite place in the world for thin crust pizza!! They put the perfect proportion of cheese and sauce, and their toppings are fresh. I usually will get sausage, green pepper, and onion. Their specialty pizzas are good too. I have had the buffalo chicken pizza before and that is really good if you're looking for some pizza that's slightly outside the box. The to go staff is usually young local teens, but they are so polite and always serve you with a smile. They are also very willing to work with local groups. I was on the Wood Dale swim team for a number of years and even coached one summer. They had our end of the year parties for us a couple times. Despite serving a bunch of kids, the service was great and the staff was friendly making sure we had everything we needed. In fact, I love this restaurant and their pizza so much, this is where I am having the rehearsal dinner for my wedding. It is such a great example of Chicago thin crust.
(5)Kelly H.
This is the best pizza place in the western suburbs. Being from the city where great pizza was abundant, we searched high and low for a decent thin crust pizza out here. I am so glad we gave White Cottage a try! White Cottage thin crust pizza has always been delivered fast and fresh. We love just their plain cheese, but also enjoyed their BBQ chicken za. It is always covered in a ton of amazing cheese with a delicious sauce. If you are also in the quest to find that "the go to" pizza place in the burbs, give White Cottage a try. You will not be disappointed!!!
(5)Beth M.
Elgin location...Mediocre pizza... Terrible customer service. When I accidentally left the coupon at home when I went to pick up the pizzas, they told me I had to return that evening to bring the coupon or they will charge me full price. I have never had to do that at the other take-out places I go to. When I returned with the coupon, the 2 "ladies" handeling the front ignored me and helped people who came in after me. Finally, someone came out from the back, and took the coupon. No apology, or thanking me for my business... We will never go to that place again.
(1)Michael M.
We get their pizza all the time. Best thin crust around. Barbecue chicken pizza is great
(4)Chris R.
Best place around the Elk Grove Area. Italian Beef pizza and Southwest BBQ are really good but the good old Cheese is better than any around our areas as most places are pretty standard/hit or miss cookie cutter joints. Except Lou Malnati's but thats a whole other category of Pizza...
(4)Melissa Z.
Wow. My best friend during my adolescence moved away from Wooddale when we were 14. When she got her driver's liscence at 16, the first thing she did was drive 45 minutes to White Cottage. For Real. Its that Good. This pizza is phenomenal. Even the plain cheese is fantastic! Something about their special blend of cheese, its just amazing. Buttery, gooey, flavorful, and they always make them piping hot!! They have been getting a little expensive over the years, but its WELL worth it! Haven't you noticed that shitty pizza makes you feel like shit? I LOVE White Cottage pizza, and whenever I'm back in WoodDale, I always order a pizza - even if I'm not hungry! Cuz the leftovers are just as good!
(5)Sue D.
I've only had the pizza here and it was good. Cesar Salad, not so much., tasteless and lettuce was crisp but had a funny taste. I hope they redeem themselves next time.
(2)James M.
They have always had great pizza and the place is spotless with attentive service. I've loved their pizza for over 30 years that I've been in the area.
(4)M M.
So... I work out a lot. I eat a lot of fruits and a decent amount of vegetables. Overall, I'm in really good health, but seriously... I've got to stop... just... have to stop. We've had White Cottage pizza before, but it was awhile ago and wasn't fresh enough in my memory to warrant writing a review. Now that we've had it once again I can safely say this place is easily in my top three for area pizza places. The crust is nice and crispy, the cheese has an excellent flavor and texture, the sauce is just about perfect. All around it's just a thing of beauty. The only thing that keeps it from being the tip-top is that it's a bit on the greasy side. Have a paper towel ready to soak some of that up. Other than that though, you'd still be hard-pressed to find anything significantly better than what you get here here, especially for that price.
(4)Jay W.
Great grigliatta. Ask for it special with baked clams. Great pizza, but expensive. Very. Rest of their food is good but nothing comes to mind that stands out from the crowd, compared to the Italian restaurants we frequent. Nevertheless, try it. AFAIK the Wooddale location is still closed on Sundays. Crazy but true.

Damn good pizza! Not as good as it COULD be but good enough for me to keep ordering from them when Im around. The actual restraunt is a Pizza Hut looking joint.
(4)Deonna L.
They make the best pizza I have ever tasted! I say "tasted," because I am being honest! I haven't tried every pizza in the world. If you are a pizza lover I suggest trying it for your self. Their pizza is amazing! They do have other dishes on the menu, like pastas since White Cottage is also an Italian restaurant. They do deliver, so nothing should stop you. Actually if you can get it delivered that is probably best since the restaurant is kind of small for groups. If this is your first time trying there food I do suggest the pizza! Oh and No, I don't work for White Cottage I am just a huge fan of pizza!
(5)Duncan S.
I like the pizza here, used to get it for work all the time. The thin crust. Won't blow your socks off, better than your average local joint, I recommend it
(4)Renato P.
The Pizza is decent here ,and I ordered here multiple times before I found some place I liked better. The food on the other hand was mediocre at best. I thought the stuffed clams were alright , my wife HATED them. I was not a big fan of the chicken vesuvio. I did not like the mosticolli with meatballs , and I ended up eating it because my wife didn't like it either. Pizza is a 3.5 star , the food is a 2 star, I'll round up the average because they had bitchin desserts. Canoli , tiramasu ,and cheesecake (elis) were awesome.
(3)Laurel S.
This is by far the best pizza ever. We live outside their delivery area but that doesn't matter at all we order as often as possible. There is nothing not to like about this pizza, it is absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!!!

Excellent pizza, I'm new in the area and white cottage was recommended. Small cheese and sausage. I will be back for sure
(4)Hank B.
There was nothing special about their pizza....the layer of cheese on the thin crust was so think I was ready to call 911 to prepare them for a heart attack. The delivery guy was cool. I would probably not order from here again....its just too much...too much....too much
(3)SoSunnychicago S.
The pizza is great, and reasonably priced. Great wine selection. They have a nice big restaurant area. Nice enough to host a big family. Love the decor. Nice, comfortable setting for an evening dinner. You won't be under or overdressed. Huge parking lot. Favorites: calamari, wine
(4)Dennis D.
I have ordered there recently and I have to say, their food is really good. Today I ordered a panzerotti, and would pick it up at 2. I get there and I am told that they have ate my food. There is no reason why they would eat my order, as I clearly told them that I would pick it up at 2. I have never had that happen to me...ever. I will not order from this location ever again.
(2)Samantha V.
I looove the cheese on their thin crust. Delicious sauce, generous toppings and crisp crust. My local fave! I'm glad I live in wood dale so I can eat here often. The restaurant is also very romantic. Great for a date. Pretty decor. Delicious bread appetizer with oil and parmesan on the table. Makes me feel fancy and not too terribly expensive.
(5)Rowdy R.
The best in the midwest...been eating there pizza for over 25 years...always love going back home to wood dale to have one of there pizzas.
(5)Adriana E.
Recently moved to Addison and gave them a try! Delivery was pretty fast. We got the Deluxe thin crust and it was amazing. Plenty of cheese and toppings! Definitely worth the money! Will be ordering again soon!
(5)Kevin G.
Probably the second best thin crust pizza I've ever had. Protip: ask for your pizza cooked well done. 9.5/10
(5)Sarah D.
Casual but nice quant place on the edge of the industrial park. Quite A few business lunches were going on! Brought hot tomato focaccia, gratis to start with our drinks. I had a great Gluten free cheese pizza. The salads looked great and the artichoke ravioli my friend had was in a aglio olio sauce and was wonderful and light It is defiantly a do-over!
(5)Allan B.
Great pizza and great service!!!! I have been going there for 40 years now and the food has always been good... Enjoy
(5)Jess F.
White Cottage used to be my favorite but the last few years, it seems to have gone downhill a little. Their cheese seems tasteless and there is hardly any sauce on the pizza at all. A dry pizza makes for a bad pizza in my opinion. The pizza is just okay lately which is why I gave it the three star,A-OK rating. Not sure what happened but I am disappointed.
(3)Chuck K.
We had pasta and were very satisfied. It was all very cheesy so if you like cheese you will be over joyed with the pasta. The service was top notch too. Had some nice wine, limited selection but multiple good choices
(4)Quin C.
Recently my wife and I were recommended to go to White Cottage for pizza. Seeing that we are always up for trying new pizza we decided to venture out on a rainy Friday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the inside of this restaurant, it had that comfortable atmosphere that had you inside but convinced you were in a courtyard. We came for pizza but decided to try a few things to see what else they had to offer. First we had some of the focaccia bread they had to offer and I could have made a meal out of that and a bottle of wine! We started out with stuffed mushrooms, out of the norm for us, and both found them to be above average. Simply stuffed with sausage and drizzled with oil, they were a hit but not a light app. We then had a pizza and gnocchi in vodka sauce. The gnocchi was as good as you are going to find and the portion was perfect for 2 with some pizza or just for someone alone. The pizza was some of the best we have found in the area, generous (but not too much) of all the toppings and great cheese (even better the next day!) What tops the whole experience was the excellent service we got from George. All the regulars seems to like George and we could see why, attentive but not over bearing and extremely pleasant and cheerful. I honestly would never have found this place but I am so glad were heard about it and went. We will certainly return and be more adventurous on the menu in that I have no doubt they will be able to execute anything they have to the highest level!
(5)Joanne D.
I have been in Addison for 11 years many pizza places have come and gone, but white cottage has always been there to stay. Save your coupons and use them for your next visit. Always ask about their specials, and for big game days expect at least an hour. I never ...knock on wood in 11 years ever had to send a pizza back, or they forgot my order. When I have a house full of kids the stadium size pizza has always been the life saver. If you like a variety try the cheese,sausage, green pepper, and onion pizza - YUM and I love their dessert menu!
(4)Theresa Z.
We have been looking for a good authentic Italian restaurant in the suburb for a long time. A friend of my recommended this restaurant and we decided to give it a try. We ordered fried calamari and stuffed baked clams for appetizer. The calamari and clams were fresh and cooked to perfection. The server was attentive. The pasta dish was flavorful. I highly recommend it and you will not be disappointed.
(5)Jay R.
Abbondanza.....Went here for lunch and was surprised how cute the dinning room is. A nice little atmosphere to enjoy some pretty solid Italian food in. I had the chicken, sausage special it was served with peppers onions and potato in a herb wine sauce. The pieces of chicken breast where tender and flavorful the sausage was not spicy but had a good flavor to it and the veggies where still crunchy but cooked. I would of liked to seen a side of pasta served with this dish would of rounded it out. The minestrone soup was also good but the capper for me was all the bread they serve you. When you sit down they put some focaccia pizza bread on the table I drizzled it with olive oil and cheese yummy. With the entree they brought a loaf of warm Italian bread which I also gave the olive oil cheese treatment to. I definite go to place if you are hungry for Italian in the Wood Dale area.
(4)Lisa D.
I ordered a pizza Saturday night and was so disappointed . Four slices of my medium size pizza had melted pieces of paper in them omg I've never had this happen before and on top of it the pieces of paper were of their menu . I called and the girl gave me a $5 credit . They lost me as a customer and I still have that paper taste left on the tip of my mouth ugh !
(1)Michele S.
I can only recommend take out. That said, a bit pricey for what you get. Cheese is good on the pizza but sauce is too sweet for my preference. Linguine shrimp diavolo was not as flavorful and not nearly as "spicy" as preferred. Service was very good. We sat outside and watched the planes, trains, and automobiles.
(2)Tony U.
This review only pertains to the pizza. I've never actually ever eaten in the dining area so I'm not sure what the dinners are like. I've had the thin pizza and the stuffed pizza. Their thin pizza is absolutely my favorite in the northwest suburbs. They are very generous with their toppings and even have humongous "Super Stadium" pizzas that serve about 15 people. We always get our thin pizza "well done." This means the cheese is slightly browned on top. We have family in from Canada and from Chicago and everybody loves the pizza. I've even had their Hawaiian pizza and it too is delicious. We order their pizza one or two times a month, and they always have coupons attached to the pizza as well as coupons in our mail. If you order a certain size pizza (family maybe?), you get a free 12" cheese pizza. Really good deal. But more importantly, the pizza is great. Now...don't overlook the stuffed pizza. It also is fantastic. I can only describe it's taste as being very similar to a Giordano's stuffed pizza. If this is your style, you should give the White Cottage stuffed pizza a try. All in all, our favorite neighborhood pizza place in the northwest suburbs.
(5)Bob B.
The thin crust pizza is amazing. As for the pasta, it's just ok. I really expected it to be better since the pizza is so good and the place is nice inside and the prices are not cheap. Most of the time the people in the pick up area are not very friendly. The delivery drivers are usually very friendly. I'll probably stick to the pizza.
(4)mindy K.
If you like greasy cheesy food this is the place for you. Even when I order my pizza easy cheese it is so greasy. Marinos pizza taste way better. And as far as their pasta goes its over priced and I can cook it way better at home.
(2)Kristian P.
Since I moved to the area, I tried multiple pizza places. White cottage has the best pizza in the area. Seems all ingredients are fresh. They have the best chicken bacon ranch pizza ever. Their delivery service is fast too. I'd recommend it to everyone
(5)Susan B.
If you've never had an Italian beef pizza, I highly recommend you try one from White Cottage. My office used to be located closer to White Cottage so we would order pizzas all the time, the Italian beef being one of the variations. I haven't had it in a while so we decided to get one the other night. It is a lot different than your normal pizza. There is Italian beef (naturally), giardiniera, green pepper and onions. If you don't like spice, this isn't for you as it can get pretty spicy. I think I had to blow my nose a few times as this completely opened up my sinuses. We got a 14" and it was $20 so not terribly bad. When you order, make sure you mention "italian beef special". It is listed on their menu as such. We placed the order and just asked for Italian beef assuming we would get the special....had to make some adjustments when we arrived. Definitely going to come back and try the BBQ chicken and taco pizza.
(5)David T.
Just to throw it out there, I have never been much of a Giordano's, so I wasn't a huge fan of the stuffed pizza. But taking a chance and going for White Cottage was a gamble that paid off. This is the best stuffed deep dish pizza I have ever had. Of course, the sauce and the toppings (or stuffings, if you like) had great flavor. The cheese wasn't overbearing over extremely chewy. But what made the pizza amazing for me was the crust. Unlike other deep dish pizzas, this one had a very soft, bakery-like crust which was tasty, and tasted like it had a slight hint of butter. Usually with deep dish pizzas the crust is cast off to the side. Not with this pizza, the crust helped make it a complete pizza. The only issue that I had with the pizza, as well as my beef with Giordano's, is that the "toppings" seemed a little skimpy. If you are looking for a Lou or Gino's East amount of sausage, you aren't going to get it. In hindsight, I would have scrapped the pepperoni and added extra sausage. That is, and always will be, a downside to a traditional Chicago stuffed pizza. Still, it was absolutely amazing and has restored my faith in stuffed deep dish pizzas!
(5)Michael B.
I ALWAYS HAVE MINE DeLIVEReD!! i never eat in the restaurant so this is a delivery review.. For the most part, they have a decent pizza. I usually ask for a "well done" pizza when ordering. Its cooked a little bit more than normal and makes the crust a bit crunchier. The baked clams are ok but they usually get mushy during the delivery and the top of the clams are not baked to a crunch. The calamari gets a bit soggy as well during delivery but nothing a toaster oven wont fix.. I also recommend the shrimp as well. Prices are a bit overpriced for my liking too
(4)David M.
I decided to give these people another shot after all the ravings the barkeeper made about this place. So I called and spoke with Amber and ordered a large with sausage green pepper and onion well done with a coupon for a free cheese is I could share with the staff. Amber said it would be an hour which is average. The pizza showed up in about thirty minutes my first thought was that this pizza won't be cooked properly unless they have an oven in the truck. I paid and opened the box and I saw just what I expected an undercooked all white glob of barely cooked cheese. I tried to eat it anyway but the cheese was not cooked nor was the peppers onions and sausage. The staff was going to finish cooking it in the kitchen I just went to the vending machine and bought a microwave dinty Moore stew and went to my room and ate. The next night I stopped in the lounge the staff member apologized as he had never had a worse meal. I said maybe they kept my number on record and did it on purpose because of my previous review because nobody could give service so bad and food so nasty and stay in business. As for the cheese I have seen this before where the cheese won't brown properly even if they cooked it long enough because they use the low fat low moisture cheese pizza should be made with 100 percent mozzarella whole milk cheese to appear and taste like Chicago's world famous pizza As for me when I'm back in that area it will be tree guys or sorrentos
(1)Jeff B.
Worst experience ever..... Ordered a pizza and it never arrived unbelievably poor service.
(1)Fast Eddie F.
Very good pie. Very good CHICKEN! This place is a very pleasant surprise.
(4)George M.
This is a great pizza joint....love the thin crust pepperoni pizza......delish
(4)Keith T.
This is my prefered pizza place i order from... they have the best pizza i've tried in the addison area so far i've had most items off their menu over the last 4-5 years and with a few exceptions I've enjoyed them all. i will say i'm not a fan of the calamari & some of their other appetizers because they either undercook or overcook some of them, and they drown their sandwiches with sauce... which makes the bread soggy & picking it up and eating it almost impossible and a fork & knife has to be used... but for pizza & pasta... 5 stars across the board the big downside to this place... and why i'm not giving them 4/5 stars is they are pretty expensive for a pizza place... also they don't deliver a "small" pizza, so when I'm alone and in the mood for their pizza, I'm stuck ordering a medium and eating off it for two days.... which can cost $25+ with a couple soda's and a tip... if it wasn't for those two issues I'd probably order from them exclusively... but the money i have to put out to have their pizza delivered has made me order from another place in the area... the pizza isn't as good in my opinion but they do deliver a small and i can save $10-ish overall... the pizza is top notch but you do pay a premium for it
(3)Kim M.
The pizza tastes like Pete's on Western. The CARRY OUT side of this establishment is wonderful! the restaurant is NOT White Cottage. It is La Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant, a totally different name. Crust and sauce here are what makes it. Just delicious. Worth the money.
(4)Alonso G.
Its a shame that i have to give this place a single star. I have not even had the opportunity to try the menu in its entirety. The past four times we have attempted to enjoy a meal from this place, the service has been absolutely horrible. two of the visits were in their dining room. The first time, our waitress was not very interested in helping us at all. The wings I ordered were not what I was served but they took so long that I did not send them back because i was starving. We let her know and was not offered a small discount, a free soda...nothing. i don't expect anything for free but there was no attempt to fix the problem, not even an apology. At he end of the same visit, we ordered the Italian Ice and were told that she doesn't recommend it because their freezer has been on the fritz and it was not good! Our second visit to their dining room was just as bad. It just seemed that because we went there with a larger group, the gratuity was going to be added and preset according to the bill. This made our waiter just disappear. Our wings came out wrong again and this time they were sent back. Again, no attempt to fix the situation. The next two experiences have been through delivery. We thought that maybe we would just try to eat at home since the pizza we did get to try was good. That was a huge mistake both times. The first time, I ordered 24 traditional breaded wings along with a few other things. I asked for the wing sauce to be on the side along with the bleu cheese dressing. For a 24 piece half pan of wings I was sent a 2oz cup of wing sauce. The delivery took forever so I did not want them to send someone with more wing sauce because everything would have been cold and greasy by the time I got the sauce so i did not want the order. I traveled there myself and returned all of the food. They offered to remake everything but after my two dining experiences there already, I did not want it. I was told that i would be refunded my money to my debit card and have yet to receive the credit. Rule number one for success in the restaurant industry....if you don't take care of your customers, someone else will!
(1)Jennifer S.
My office orders thin crust pizzas from here about once a month. The sauce is tasty, the crust is crispy and the Italian sausage is quite good. I am not a big fan of sausage on pizza, but they cook their sausage thoroughly so it's okay in my book. I just started to convince my co-workers that they like bacon on their pizza (as that is my favorite) and White Cottage does that up right, too. Their delivery times are accurate (even a little early sometimes) and their employees are pretty nice. It's been years since I have actually eaten at the restaurant, so I will have to do that soon and post an update. All in all, it's a quality pizza that everyone can agree on.
(3)Fate O.
Fate: Their thin crust pizza are so champ! They're the best pizza in west suburb. I have been there for over 25 years. Cons- their service sucks. Waiting for waitress too long.

I just don't know.. Ok I'll round it up to a 4 because who goes to a pizza place and expects quality fries? I worked at this place for all 4 years of high school and I love the pizza still sooo I'd say that's saying something. We usually pick up our pizzas but I've had delivery as well and have no complaints.. Great local pizza!!

Happy Anniversary! I yelped 'pizza delivery' in Wood Dale, Il and found this lovely gem. I needed some pizzas delivered to my BF's work as a surprise 5th year anniversary gift for him. There's no website so I had to call and have a menu faxed over. The man on the phone was very friendly and had the 5 page menu faxed over before I could even walk over to my fax machine- now that's service! The prices are a bit high but I'd heard raving reviews about their pizzas. I settled with a 20" cheese and a 20" buffalo chicken pizza (has buffalo sauce, bleu cheese, bacon, chicken, etc. The cheese pizza was $21 and the buffalo chicken one was $40- yikes! But I knew my meat eating bf would love it. I called back to place my order and the young girl that answered the phone was also very friendly. She took my order, answered my questions, allowed me to pay for it over the phone and leave a tip for the driver, along with following through with my special request to write "Happy 5th Anniversary" on the pizza boxes. When the pizza arrived to my bf's work he was totally shocked. In fact, he thought someone was pranking him and he argued with the pizza man that those were not his pizzas and he was not paying for them... the pizza guy then said that they were from his girlfriend. My boyfriend, who had not totally remembered our anniversary (we never really celebrate them), was confused. The driver then says, the pizza boxes say "Happy Anniversary" and were paid for by Candice. He then smiles and tells the man he'd be more than happy to take those pizzas off his hands. My BF and his work raved about the pizzas and the 20" giant pizzas were more than enough food for his company to have for lunch, take home leftovers for dinner, and lunch the next day. My BF said that everyone agrees White Cottage is the best pizza place around there and the Buffalo Chicken was insane- my Bf said that it would make me want to eat meat again. My lovely man was kind enough to bring a piece of the cheese pizza home for me to try and it was quite delicious, even reheated. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars right now is because I want to try more than one reheated piece for myself before I give out the 5 sexy stars. I will defo be heading to White Cottage soon to get my pizza on and hopefully upgrading to 5 stars.

I ordered the Chicago style stuffed pizza with sausage and was very disappointed. All I could taste was the cheese. It was just an over whelming amount of cheese. I guess maybe when ordering this pizza it needs a lot of different toppings. Also I ordered some buffalo wings. There was hardly a buffalo taste to any of the wings and the buffalo taste was not even that good. I spent 50 dollars for a delivery order and I am going to throw away most of the food because it is disgusting.

Lived in Wood Dale for 5 years and never realized great pizza was so close! Sizes are confusing but you forget that once you get a delicious thin crust pizza slice in your mouth. Mmmmm, drool. We always get pick up service, times given are pretty spot on and staff is friendly.

Delivery service is not good. Putting in a phone order took 20 minutes! Literally. She could not understand anything... You're better off eating at the restaurant or going/ordering somewhere else.

I am so lucky to have White Cottage within walking distance of my house... okay, my hips aren't so happy about it, but at least I can walk off the delicious pizza! I am just reviewing the take out / delivery operations of White Cottage today. White Cottage has the best pizza around (and I think the freshest ingredients); they even have Italian beef and giardiniera for a topping! I personally love that they have capers (another favorite). Their thin crust is superb; slightly salty, buttery and crispy. Another reason why I love White Cottage: they will give you plenty of freshly grated parmesan and red pepper and even paper plates (delivery) if you ask! Why I didn't give them five stars: 50% of the time the toppings are incorrect on delivery orders. I have come to learn that I will probably get all the correct ingredients but mixed up. For instance: last night we ordered half sausage and onion, half pepperoni and mushroom but we received half sausage and mushroom and half pepperoni and onion. Why the incorrect orders don't bother me too much: It's delicious.

A++++ been going here for years, always great pizza!

White Cottage is a great choice for quality but standard-issue pizza. We keep meaning to try other things on their menu, but we keep going back to the pizza. (And occasionally the cheese-stuffed garlic breadsticks.) Someday we'll go inside, sit down and order some asiago gnocchi or a sub or some other delicious-sounding entree from their menu. See if it lives up to expectations. But for now I can tell you that the pizza is quite good. Taste in pizza is subjective, and I'm not even sure I can tell you what my "perfect" pizza is, but this is really, quite good. Solidly 4-star pizza. Lots of cheese, good sauce, tasty crust. Served hot and ready when they say it will be. What more could you want? Oh, and the garlic-cheese breadsticks are pure stuffed garlicky greasy deliciousness. Probably bad for us, but since they only come 3 to an order I don't feel too bad about it. On a side note, I will say that trying to turn north onto Wood Dale Road from Irving Park can be a giant pain in the butt at rush hour when there is a train... blocks both roads and nobody can go anywhere for 10 minutes and then trying to turn left into White Cottage... alas. The pizza's still worth it though.

Pizza alla Tony. A contender for the best pizza in the world.

Expensive Pizza. Cool combinations.

Excellent pizza, I'm new in the area and white cottage was recommended. Small cheese and sausage. I will be back for sure
(4)Michael M.
We get their pizza all the time. Best thin crust around. Barbecue chicken pizza is great
(4)Tammy L.
there are so many better places to get pizza from in the area. I find WC pizza to be very gressy and not good.
(2)Chris R.
Best place around the Elk Grove Area. Italian Beef pizza and Southwest BBQ are really good but the good old Cheese is better than any around our areas as most places are pretty standard/hit or miss cookie cutter joints. Except Lou Malnati's but thats a whole other category of Pizza...
(4)JOHN M.
should not get one star even! after waiting two hours to get our food because they claimed to be stuck behind a train, we finally started eating to find a huge beetle in our pasta! these people are sick! they should be shut down!
(1)Tony K.
Damn good pizza! Not as good as it COULD be but good enough for me to keep ordering from them when Im around. The actual restraunt is a Pizza Hut looking joint.
(4)Deonna L.
They make the best pizza I have ever tasted! I say "tasted," because I am being honest! I haven't tried every pizza in the world. If you are a pizza lover I suggest trying it for your self. Their pizza is amazing! They do have other dishes on the menu, like pastas since White Cottage is also an Italian restaurant. They do deliver, so nothing should stop you. Actually if you can get it delivered that is probably best since the restaurant is kind of small for groups. If this is your first time trying there food I do suggest the pizza! Oh and No, I don't work for White Cottage I am just a huge fan of pizza!
(5)Duncan S.
I like the pizza here, used to get it for work all the time. The thin crust. Won't blow your socks off, better than your average local joint, I recommend it
(4)Brian Z.
We have ordered delivery from here a few times. We normally order a thin crust pizza for my wife, and a pan for me (not stuffed). The toppings, sauce, cheese, and crust are all great. This is definitely quality pizza. As others have said, it's a bit greasy, but I can live with that. The reason for the down-ranking is because of the value (or lack thereof). Maybe I'm spoiled with lesser-quality chain pizzas, where you can usually get two large pies delivered for roughly $25 with a coupon, but every time I order from White Cottage, I seem to be spending $50, even with a 10% off coupon. Maybe I'm using the wrong coupons, but $50 for two pies is a bit tough to take. Am I the only one? Anyways, if you think the price is acceptable, this is definitely good pizza.

AMAZING!! Ive lived in wood dale a majority of my life and this is the best pizza I've ever had! Not even just the pizza, the ghocchi is fabulous, the chicken vesivio is 10 stars, I mean, literally everything is fabulous! The pizza there can literally be done anyway you want! if you want xtra thin or extra thick or pan or deep dish, you got it!! They can put anything you think of on these pizzzas. I've had meatball pizzas, pineapple and bbq sauce (my personal fav), pizzas with alfredo sauce instread of red sauce. You can do what ever you like! And you must try the foccacia when you go in! if you get take out ask for a slice, its 75 cents and worth every penny. They make it fresh every morning so make sure you get it early! The owners of White Cottage, Tom and Tony and two wonderful wonderful people.

Wow. My best friend during my adolescence moved away from Wooddale when we were 14. When she got her driver's liscence at 16, the first thing she did was drive 45 minutes to White Cottage. For Real. Its that Good. This pizza is phenomenal. Even the plain cheese is fantastic! Something about their special blend of cheese, its just amazing. Buttery, gooey, flavorful, and they always make them piping hot!! They have been getting a little expensive over the years, but its WELL worth it! Haven't you noticed that shitty pizza makes you feel like shit? I LOVE White Cottage pizza, and whenever I'm back in WoodDale, I always order a pizza - even if I'm not hungry! Cuz the leftovers are just as good!
(5)Sue D.
I've only had the pizza here and it was good. Cesar Salad, not so much., tasteless and lettuce was crisp but had a funny taste. I hope they redeem themselves next time.
(2)James M.
They have always had great pizza and the place is spotless with attentive service. I've loved their pizza for over 30 years that I've been in the area.

So... I work out a lot. I eat a lot of fruits and a decent amount of vegetables. Overall, I'm in really good health, but seriously... I've got to stop... just... have to stop. We've had White Cottage pizza before, but it was awhile ago and wasn't fresh enough in my memory to warrant writing a review. Now that we've had it once again I can safely say this place is easily in my top three for area pizza places. The crust is nice and crispy, the cheese has an excellent flavor and texture, the sauce is just about perfect. All around it's just a thing of beauty. The only thing that keeps it from being the tip-top is that it's a bit on the greasy side. Have a paper towel ready to soak some of that up. Other than that though, you'd still be hard-pressed to find anything significantly better than what you get here here, especially for that price.
(4)Jay W.
Great grigliatta. Ask for it special with baked clams. Great pizza, but expensive. Very. Rest of their food is good but nothing comes to mind that stands out from the crowd, compared to the Italian restaurants we frequent. Nevertheless, try it. AFAIK the Wooddale location is still closed on Sundays. Crazy but true.
(4)Frank R.
This place was around before Mario's, when there were not many places in the charming little town of Wood Dale; so for that alone it deserves praise. The food is good, without necesarily blowing you away. (Obviously way better than that ubiquitous "Italian" chain which fortunately is nowhere near WD, Bensenville, or Itasca.) But alas, since I moved, I have found no good reason to return now that I live near Hillside and work in Oak Park, where there are equally good, in fact better options at a much closer distance. In other words, a TRULY 5-Star place would have had me coming back to the area many times, which this has not.
(3)Renato P.
The Pizza is decent here ,and I ordered here multiple times before I found some place I liked better. The food on the other hand was mediocre at best. I thought the stuffed clams were alright , my wife HATED them. I was not a big fan of the chicken vesuvio. I did not like the mosticolli with meatballs , and I ended up eating it because my wife didn't like it either. Pizza is a 3.5 star , the food is a 2 star, I'll round up the average because they had bitchin desserts. Canoli , tiramasu ,and cheesecake (elis) were awesome.
(3)Laurel S.
This is by far the best pizza ever. We live outside their delivery area but that doesn't matter at all we order as often as possible. There is nothing not to like about this pizza, it is absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!!!
(5)Tasha B.
My fiancee tells me about this place every Friday. He kept bragging how good the pizza was and that it was the best pizza he's ever had. Now, coming from a guy who eats nothing but chicken nuggets and who thinks Campbell's Tomato soup is godsend...I wasn't buying it. We walked in and the ambiance felt just right. The place was dimly lit but not dark. Pretty cozy, white linen tables, tall glass bottles of olive oil, plastic grapes tastefully hanging from the ceilings, great decor. When we were seated, quickly, we were given two medium sized wedges of fresh warm bread topped with a smear of thick tomato sauce. I dipped mine with the olive oil. The olive oil was so good and slightly flavored. We ordered half cheese (guess who's ordered that) and half special with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. All I can say is: OH MY GOD! The pizza was excellent! It was.....the best pizza I've ever tasted. There was just the right amount of sauce, not too little, not too much, not too thin, not too thick. The sausage was real lumps of Italian sausage, thin-sliced spicy/slightly salty pepperoni rounds, fresh mushrooms, crisp onions and green peppers cut in perfect sizes. The crust was not too thin, not dry, mildly buttery, and it didn't break under the weight of the toppings. The cheese was the highlight. I don't know where they get the cheese. I'm sure the cows get pedicures and other spa treatments and sparkling water because this cheese was to die for. We ordered cocktails and they were pretty good and had the right amount of liquor. About $6 a glass. Our total bill for two was about $36 after tax & tip for two drinks and a medium pizza. I was full after three slices of pizza. The leftovers were just as good the next day. This is a great place for a romantic date!
