Holy Biz-alls! I recently had a sausage, chicken and Giardinera pizza and I swear, I died and went to heaven. They never disappoint! Love Dominick’s!

Since I started working in the Area 1.5 years ago, my co-workers told me to go try it out. Went over there and picked me up a slice of Pepperoni and a slice of cheese. Man… those two slices were pretty delicious.
The place is a small, plain and not much going on. Granted, I’ve only been there around lunch time, but that is the jist of it. You show up, place your order and kick back for a few minutes to get your food. Usually you’ll find a few local gold rocking soprano type regulars or your local work crew with a samich.
The price is very good for a slice, just a little over $2. They also have a pretty decent 2 burger special with fries and a can of pop for $5. They also have good freshly made italtian sandwiches. They have your typical deep fried sides.
But I think the killer lunch here is the pizza. The cheese pizza, usually dull and not so good.. very good here. It hase some tastey seasonings. The pizza over all is fresh out of the oven, melty cheese, crunchy crust and nice and saucey. If youre in for lunch, definitely stop by for a slice, you wont regret it.

I love this place! I used to crave it back when I lived in the area.
I was raised on pizza and I’m a total topping snob. I like my toppings to be plentiful and rich in quality which is something Dominicks is no stranger to. The one thing that really stands out about Dominick’s though is their plain ole cheese pizza. Back in the day you could get a free small cheese if you had enough menus or box tops or something saved up and it’s just sooo good. I know it seems silly to rave about plain cheese pizza but honestly, I don’t know what it is but it hypnotizes. I, for the most part, hate plain cheese pizza. It’s for kids and whiny babies who can’t handle the manly flavor of delicious toppings… Or so I thought. This pizza has so much flavor already in the crust and the sauce and the cheese blend that you really don’t even need toppings. It’s strangely perfect.
The appetizers are also fabu! Everything is good and they have an extensive selection. I LOVE their baked clams, wings, breaded mushrooms, artickoke, etc … it’s truly all great.
Also, I’m not a pasta person but I do think their pasta is exceptional. I’ve tried some of their sandwiches as well and sadly, I’m not a fan but that’s okay. Everything else on their menu is savory and damn near perfect so it’s easy to let the sammies slide.
One last note, the value is exceptional. Such a nominal fee for greatness and their delivery is very speedy.

I go to dominicks about 2 times a week for lunch. I usually get the brandon special which is the spaghetti with a side of sauce, mini meatballs and some cheesy garlic bread. Alittle olive oil and butter to accompany. DELISH
Friendly and fast
love the artichoke. Not many places even serve something that great.

Sunday night special– Veal parmesan, side of pasta, and bread for $8.00. This is the deal of the century and it is delicious. We have gotten this once a month for several years. Their reuben sandwich is also excellent– loaded with corned beef and smothered in gooey cheese.
In the past, we had service issues with the girls who work the counter. Things have improved and they are now friendly.

I almost just passed out when I realized that after ALL these years…I have yet to review them!! Sorry D-Money! I’m about to get on top of things…
I have been getting food from here for like 20 years…literally! My mom used to get pizza from here when I was younger and I have ordered various items over the years as well, including quite a few catering orders. =] This family owned restaurant has some of the best customer service and awesome food to top it all off! And another plus, is they are super affordable!
Some of my favorites from here are their homemade mozzarella sticks, super chicken sandwich, pasta carbonara (I add sauteed mushrooms and peas), antipasto tray, Mediterranean style pasta and last but DEF not least their pizzas. Everything is fresh and fabulous. The pizza is a thin style crust with just the right amount of crunch and the toppings are plentiful and delicious! My ultimate favorite menu item, though, is the cheese sticks!! OMG…they are seriously THE BEST…anywhere!! SO fresh and you can just tell they are homemade by the quality of the cheese. Seriously, add them onto your order next time, you will not be disappointed!
Seriously…anyone in VP or Lombard that has not already tried the deliciousness that is Dominick’s…get your ass in there and support local businesses! Thanks. =]

Simply the best pizza around! The pizza specials with 3 toppings for the price you pay? Cant be beaten! Must try the Margherita Alla Rosa, traditional at its finest. The baked clams are to die for, nobody makes them fresher. The Super steak sandwich is killer and not to be outdone by the Enzolini sub. Service you say? The management and their staff are top notch. I asked to cater a company luncheon 1 day in advance for 30 people. They pulled it off with no hesitation. Not a single bite of food was leftover and my coworkers raved about the taste and quality. Do yourself and your family a favor, stop at Dominick’s for your next pizza pie. You wont regret it!

Dominick’s is a great example of a mom & pop locale that serves good food and gives back to the community.
The food is a solid 4 stars. Since the man grew up in VP, Dominick’s has been a go-to for pizza while we were dating and usually the place of choice when we’re at his Mom’s and want a no fuss but good dinner. The menu has a lot of options besides pizza–sandwiches, salads, pastas. Our go-to is always the thin crust sausage and mushroom. The Pizza is good. Nice and crispy crust edges (my favorite parts of the pizza) and always a nice layering of cheese and toppings. Fresh ingredients, tasty sauce and never too salty.
Most recently on a suggestion of Angela P, I tried the fried calamari and the Pasta Favorita (rigatoni). It was all delicious! The calamari was fresh, not rubbery, served with lemon and marinara. The Pasta Favorita is a red cream sauce with fresh mushrooms and sausage. Definitely a new fave! The pasta was perfectly cooked and there was a good amount of sausage and mushroom. Add some red pepper flakes for a little kick! YUM!
What adds that extra Yelp star? Dominick’s is always hosting special days where proceeds go to local kids sports leagues or local charities. Most recently they hosted a dessert tasting for a new catering business in the area. How can you not love a business that gives back to it’s community. 5 stars easily!

Good pizza and good staff. I love the thin crust pizza. If you’re looking for pizza in the western burbs, this has to be on the list to have.

By far the best thin crust pizza I’ve ever had! I used to live in Elmhurst and this beats their top pizza joints (Roberto’s, Mama Maria’s). Not to mention they mail out coupons almost every week.
