My Picks for Best Delivery Pizza at UIC

If I may, I'd like to offer a varying opinion on the delivery pizza scene at UIC. Here are my picks below:

Pompei Bakery

At Pompei Bakery, you can purchase pizza by the slice for around $3.00, or you and several of your friends can eat for $10.00 to $15.00 total. The Pompei Bakery prides themselves on using their family 100 year old dough recipe, which is always hand rolled. And, they now have a new item on the menu: a personal deep dish pizza that only costs $5.00.

Damenzo's Pizza and Restaurant

While Damenzo's has the regular type of toppings, there is nothing ordinary about their pizza slices; they are huge. You can order a 10” pizza for approximately $7.00 to a 24” pizza for $29.00; you will get the most bang for your buck at this pizza delivery place. And, their pizza puffs, or calzones, must be mentioned; pizza lovers from all over the midwest come to taste the delicious crust and fesh toppings that make up these pizza puffs. Damenzo's Pizza also offers stuffed pizza and pan pizza to suit any palate.

Bacci Pizzeria

Bacci Pizzeria's pizzas start at $11.25 for a small, 12” cheese pizza to $16.65 for a “family”, 18” cheese pizza. They also make a stuffed pizza or pan pizza that comes in a small, medium, or large. The next time you place a delivery order from Bacci's, think about trying their “Bacci Special”: sausage, mushroom, green pepper, onion, pepperoni, and an optional garlic crust. Every menu item is made to order, and their homemade pizza dough and sauce is made fresh every day.

Aurelio's Is Pizza

Aurelio's Is Pizza; Aurelio's is pizza with variety at a decent price. Their 6”, “lil” pizza costs around $5.00, and their 18”, fiesta pizza costs around $23.00. Aurelio's stuffed crust pizza is fantastic and moderately priced: $11.95 buys a small pizza for two people, and $20.45 buys a large pizza for 4 to 6 people. No matter what size pizza you need delivered, there are several crusts, tons of options, and combination specialty pizzas to suit you. Order from Aurelio's, and you will find out why everyone raves about their sweet sauce, and even if you are not a big fan of thin crust pizza, you will love Aurelio's.

Oh yeah, and I'm obliged to say that you can order pizza online via Delivery.com. It's great for people like me who can't get out a full sentence over the phone without stuttering, panicking and then accidentally ordering anchovies or something.
