Best pizza in Plainfield? Vito & Nick's

Outside Plainfield? Traverso's in Naperville and Gino's East. Maybe we can convince them to open up in Plainfield.

I think that the old, abandoned fire station, located in downtown Plainfield, would make an awesome pizza place (similar to what Lou Malnatis did in downtown Naperville). My favorites are Malnati's, Giordanos and Vita Bella.

We saw Luigi's Pizza & Pasta on the "Chicago's Best" TV show and thought we'd give it a try. Wow, WOW! Not only is Luigi's the best pizza in Plainfield, it's the best pizza anywhere....period! Best we've ever had for sure.
Puts Lou Malnati's to shame and simply tops all the others by far!

Michael G. D'Aversa

Beggars pizza was on CHicago best for the lansing location. Same pizza in PLainfield as in Lansing. Cant beat the pizza but could use beer in DIning room.

Droncz87

3:02 pm on Thursday, August 9, 2012

You gotta be kidding me with people saying Lou Malnaitis or Girodanos or whatever. Sure those ARE great pizza, but we are talking about LOCAL pizza here.

For my money Vita Bella's doesn't get much better. They have a great sauce, 3 or 4 pieces in your feeling pretty good and the staff is always awesome.

For the record though Beggars pizza? Seriously, I think I have tasted better pizza at the Cici's Buffett along 59 over there.

Couldn't agree more. Although, if you haven't tried Luigi's you have to get there. Hard to say if it's better than Vita Bella because they are different from each other but both amazing. Forget Malnatis and Giordanos. Beggars in Oak Lawn was great when I lived there, but they have changed. The one in Plainfield is, in my opinion, really overrated and ridiculously overpriced.

Jimmy

I have been watching the voting since it began and what I see today is a sham. The presidential election barely gets as many votes as Beggars gets in an hour. They sat for most of this with hardly any votes. The fix is obviously in and it's so unfair to the other contenders Are all their employees being paid to sit at computers tonight? Cheats. I will stay away from Beggars for that very reason.

Totally agree! If you have to cheat at a local town poll as this one, then Beggars must know that they wouldnt win for their pizza! Had em once, pizza was bland and barely hot. Staff & service was sub par. Try Luigis people! Not only will you walk into the cleanest, most tastefully decorated restaurant in Plainfield, you will be served the BEST deep dish pizza piping hot by any of the servers that surely know their stuff! Always a great time there. Have never been dissappointed. Sad that Beggars felt the need to stoop so low....
