Reviews Summary
Danny's Italian Pizza & Beef offers a wide array of Chicago favorites, with many praising their Italian beef, thin crust pizza, and diverse menu. However, some reviews point to inconsistencies in quality and service, particularly regarding pizza slices and the handling of specific orders. Despite mixed feedback, the restaurant is recognized for its value and community involvement.
"This place has excellent pizza, both the deep dish and the regular Chicago thin crust. We were visting from the East and I wanted to make sure that my kids had the deep dish pizza and I have to say, it was one of the best I have had. I used to live in Chicago but the only one I had before was the more commercial place and this was so much better and made excellent leftovers. Glad we were able to order from there and take it back to our place to enjoy. Would definitely go there again if in the area."

"Check photos , not even the pepperoni was heated enough to cook or curl.
Guys are always in and out trying to watch a soccer game and rushing an order. That's the first bad start to entering.
Have had their pizzas months ago so stopped by for a quick slice. Big mistake and disgusting. My wife went in for me otherwise I would've been able to look at the pale slices and known they were there for over an ol hour at least. So long there was barely any sauce and the sauce it did have tasted to be from a cheap jar.
Quality was nothing like a year ago, pepperoni seems to be less quality than one from aldis and their cheese was just discolored. Don't go for their slices. Pizzas are much pricier than a true Chicago pizza so adding to the new taste; I'm done with this place. Will go to a closer and cheaper paisans if I'm driving from that area."
