Josie was absolutely amazing!!! I came Friday with a friend and sat on the patio, and Josie took care of us with a huge smile on her face. She was kind and very attentive. The food was good but we were very impressed by the service and management. The short guy with glasses who looked a little nerdy was a great manager and checked in on us. We appreciate it!

Great pizza!! The giant pretzel was amazing. Be sure to have people to share it with!! It's close to the hemmens, so it's a good place to get dinner before a show.

We used Danny's Pizza as the late night snack for our wedding at The Haight. We heard nothing but great things on the quality and taste of the pizza! I was not involved in the coordinating, but the food appeared to arrive right on time and without issue. We spent around 900 on pizza for 145 guests, which was less than we budgeted!

This just may be the best pizza in Illinois, let alone Elgin! The thin crust is crispy and a perfect complement to the toppings. We ordered a 4-topping pizza with sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, and olives. What a great combo! The sausage is made specially for the restaurant, and the sauce has a great profile, not too sweet. Bar offers a wide variety of beers and ales. We also ordered the variety appetizer plate. Mozzarella sticks were tops, with onion rings a close second. Highly recommend!

For was great! Came there to watch my friend play a private event/life celebration this past weekend. Ordered the Italian beef/sausage combo sandwich with a side of their cheese cubes. Was very tasty! Great room and stage areas. Plenty of space and very friendly bartending staff!!! Would definitely come back! A

Great pizza! They make custom orders, and nail it every time! Big selection of beers on tap and can/bottle. Perfect place for a big gathering or sit at the bar and chat. It's our go to pizza place about every 2 weeks!

We had family visiting from out of state so we had a family dinner here. My cousin called in advance & reserved seating for 20 a week or 2 before. They set us up with more than enough room. They had no problem taking our orders as everyone came in which also ment we also had multiple checks. We had 2 miscommunications with my order which were cleared up right away. I wish I could find my receipt because our waitress did an amazing job. She was attentive, & super sweet as were the rest of the staff who took care of us. My family of five ordered 2 kids meals, an extra large sausage pizza (yes we had lunch the next day), 5 drinks, 2 pitchers of soda/lemonade & a cheese appetizer basket. With a tip it was around 120. After the band started warming up we paid our checks & made our way to the patio. It was just a little bit too loud for some of us to converse inside & that's coming from someone who's family is filled with musicians. We spend another hour or so outside. The kids played soccer in the grass next to the patio & played games at a table. The only reason for the 4 stars on atmosphere is honestly the noise level of the music. It was just too much there's a way to still be loud & rock while allowing your guests to enjoy themselves & still be able to talk & not have to shout. When we left to sit outside the inside wasn't very full. I wonder if that's why or perhaps the crowd just comes in later. All in all it was another great experience here. I'm sure we'll return.

We recently attended a celebration of Life for a very dear friend of ours, and he loves Danny's Pizza. There had to have been at least 30 people who attended this gathering of friends and family of our friend. Danny's Pizza was great! They attended to every person and they never let any Pizza run out. The employees were always checking on everyone to make sure they had something to drink and if a person wanted something other than Pizza, the employees made sure that everyone had what they needed or wanted. The establishment also had room for live entertainment. They even allowed service dogs into their establishment. The establishment was very clean and employees were very nice and friendly. Overall Danny's Pizza is a great establishment to have parties of any sort and size.
