Barnaby's Pizza

Super GemNiles (suburb) · Pizza (Tavern-Style) Community-sourced, unverified
📍 7950 N Caldwell Ave, Niles, IL 60714

Barnaby's Pizza has been in the same family since the mid-1970s, one of the first Barnaby's locations in the Chicago area -- the chain itself traces to 1969, when George and Ruby Stratigos opened the original -- and still a genuine neighborhood gathering spot after five decades.

Cracker-thin with a real crunch — the signature crust here isn't a marketing line, it's the whole reason regulars come back.

It runs a self-serve setup: order at the counter, grab a drink at the bar, and find your own table. The tavern-style crust — thin, cracker-crisp, made with cornmeal — is the reason people keep coming back, alongside wings that get almost as much praise as the pizza itself.

Holds a 4.3-star rating.
