Candlelite pizza brings Indiana residents in for dinner!

by Jean H. (Munster, IN) on March 5, 2012
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Very good restaurant, wasn't sure what to expect outside of the city since I don't come up here very often except to visit. The pizza was thin and crispy and tasted great.

Our reply

Thanks Jean for coming in! Munster, Indiana is quite a ways away so we appreciate you taking the time to write a review! We hope you enjoyed our Chicago thin crust pizza - we make the dough and sauce from scratch!

Gurnee pizza lover chooses Candlelite over Pizza Hut and Dominos

by Jon Bailey (Gurnee, IL) on June 20, 2011
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Love coming here but its a bit of a drive for me. If I know I will be in the area though I usually try to stop in or take something home for carry-out. The pizza is good and Gurnee doesn't have any good independent places, just chains like Pizza Hut and Dominos and Papa John's.

Our reply

Jon, thanks for stopping by when you're in town! We think it says something about what we do...when it drives people to want to make a stop when they aren't even from the area...well, that's something. Thanks for choosing us as your Gurnee pizza of choice and thanks for shopping independent instead of heading to the Chicago Pizza Hut or the Chicago Dominos Pizza! We're not haters of other pizza places...we just think we do it the best :)

Gary makes Candlelite his Melrose Park pizza place for thin crust and Gumballhead

by Gary W. (Melrose Park, IL) on May 1, 2011
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Love coming here to watch the Chicago Blackhawks! They had a good 2011 playoff run, I watched a couple games here, there was a good crowd but not uncomfortablly crowded. They have good appetizers, I usually get them with a beer. My wide likes the organic vodka they have. I like the Gumballhead beer and Blue Moon too. Garlic herb fries are great, best with feta cheese though added.

Our reply

Thanks for the Candlelite Chicago pizza review, Gary! We'll try to keep that Gumball head cold and in stock for you! It's a hot item though and goes quick! Maybe we could get you on for a video review next time our video guy comes by? You can check out our video reviews on our YouTube Candlelite Chicago pizza reviews channel and see if you'd be willing!


Best spinach thin crust pizza in Chicago, according to Darla of Evanston IL

by Darla C. (Evanston, IL) on April 29, 2011
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Best damn thin crust pizza in Chicago, and I'm not kidding. I like it because they are always consistent and it's good every time. Never over cooks or dry or bad. I like their spinach pizza and sometimes I get garlic or pepperoni thin crust. The wraps are good too. Gotta get the garlic herb fries and do the Facebook check-in thingie to get them free. We'll be back!

Our reply

Thanks for coming in Darla! Great review, glad that you really enjoy our pizzas! Thanks for driving over here and making us your Evanston IL pizza place of choice instead of ordering from one of them chains!! We'll cook it up right, just for you :)

Candlelite Chicago regular loves new flat screen TVs at Rogers Park sports bar

by John S. (Evanston, IL) on April 21, 2011
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Good bar, I like to come here fairly often to watch games on the flat screens and have a drink and some food maybe. Only gave it four stars cause I've been to better places in my life so it was hard to give it the best rating possible, but it is great and the pizza is good and not like bar food thats crappy. The bartender was very attentive. Good pulled pork sandwich too.

Our reply

Hey John, thanks for coming in and enjoying our new flat screen TVs! We think they're a great addition, and we know that everyone is loving em. Thanks for choosing us as your Evanston pizza place! Go Northwestern!!!


Park Ridge pizza lover gets 2 for 1 pizza specials on Tuesdays at Candlelite

by Pam Marshall (Park Ridge, IL) on April 11, 2011
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Excellent food, one of the best sports bars in chicago in my opinion. I come here often for food, mostly their thin crust pizza. Good family friendly atmosphere so I don't mind bringing the kids on 2 for 1 pizza Tuesdays. It's consistently good which I like cause I hate when I go somewhere that I like and get disappointed. Definitely would recommend to anyone to go here. Good place for parties too.

Our reply

Thanks for coming and enjoying our thin crust pizza! Be sure to join us on Facebook, we have Facebook Places check-in specials, Foursquare specials, and coupons and exclusive deals on Facebook as well. Thanks for making us your Park Ridge pizza place of choice!

Three Floyds Gumballhead served cold at Candlelite in Rogers Park...usually!

by Ariel Adams (Skokie, IL) on April 11, 2011
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Really good food, would of gave five stars but they were out of my favorite beer, Three Floyd's Gumballhead! They usually have it but I know it goes quick there and Three Floyds only gives them a limited amount. I love the pizza!!!! best thin crust AND ITS NOT LIKE REGULAR BAR PIZZA, IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD!!!!!!

Our reply

Thanks for the review, Ariel! You're right, Three Floyd's Gumballhead in Chicago gets rationed out and we are only able to get a certain amount. Believe me, we would get 4x the amount if we could! It's such a great beer! But we have tons of others you should try too. Ask the bartender Pat for a sample of one of our new Microbrews, or our organic vodka!

Oak Park Pizza lover choses Pulled Pork at Candlelite instead

by John Franco (Oak Park, IL) on March 29, 2011
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Loved the pulled pork, had a good time with the kids and would definitely come back here. I drove from Oak Park to get pizza here and ended up with good pulled pork though.

Our reply

Thanks for coming in, John! It's ok if you got the pulled pork, I think many don't realize how good it really is! Hope the kids had a good time! Thanks for choosing Candlelite as your place for pizza in Chicago.

by Paul Reicher (Evanston, IL) on March 19, 2011
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Always a great time at the Candlelite. Great beer and the best thin crust pizza pie in Chicago. If you haven't had it, come try it. They also do Facebook Places and Foursquare check-in specials where you get free garlic herb fries with your pizza purchase. I'll definitely keep coming again as I have for years. Love watching Northwestern University and Blackhawks games here!

Our reply

Paul, thanks for the great review! We're happy to be your hometown Northwestern University pizza place and Evanston sports bar! So happy to be in the neighborhood! Keep claiming those Facebook places deals!!

Chicago thin crust pizza is a Rogers Park favorite for Joey at Candlelite

by Joey L. (Schererville, IN) on December 1, 2010
Waitstaff: Pat Fowler

Absolutely love this place! It is definitely worth stopping at whenever I find myself in the area (or can give myself an excuse to come to the area). It's for sure the best thin crust pizza in Chicago, or at least I thought so. The garlic herb fries with the feta cheese were awesome, and Pat the bartender and manager is very socialable and a pleasure to chat with. Good sports bar, yet great family restaurant too. Great for all ages.

Our reply

Joey,

Thanks for coming in and having our delicious Chicago thin crust pizza, Chicago's best thin crust since 1950! If you ever plan on coming in town on business or for any other reason, we'd love to see you! Be sure to 'Like' us on Facebook to get information about upcoming events, coupons, and more!
