Readers' Choice: Best Pizza Place in Joliet

Everyone has a favorite! Make sure yours is nominated so we can ensure it's on our list when it's time to vote.

 

There may be as many pizza places in Joliet as there are types of pizza. And we're willing to bet, if you ask 10 people, you'll get 10 different restaurant names for the place that does it best.

Our job is to get you to tell us your favorite. We'll put together a list of nominations so the definitive choice can be made.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves. First we need you to tell us what place is the best place in Joliet to grab a pizza? Or, are you eating pizza in our neighboring Channahon, Minooka or Shorewood Patches?

You already nominated your favorite local businesses. Now it is time to vote! You have until Aug. 17 to vote. We will announce the winner Aug. 24.

Chicago pizza moved to Joliet, so maybe it's not fair, but in my travels around the country, I have found no better pizza than Lou Malnatis. As far as local only, Francos is great.

Totally agree with Adam H. Local pizza it is Francos. It is carry out only, but it is as good a pizza as you will find anywhere. It is worth the drive to pick one of these pizzas up and enjoy. Trust me, really. Located at Caton Farm and County Line Rd in the little plaza. Try it once and you WILL go back.
