Carsons Corner Pizzeria and more - Shorewood, Illinois

I love the thin crust pizza. It has the perfect crispy, flavorful, airy crust. The homemade meatballs are also amazing. If you grew up on Palermo’s 95th and/or Vito and Nicks, you’ll enjoy Carson’s Corner.

Halloween tends to be one of the busiest nights for pizza joints so I called earlier in the afternoon asking if I could order now for an early evening pickup which they were accommodating to.

Ordered 2 medium pepperoni pizzas, added sausage to one and pineapple to the other. Side/appetizer of garlic bread ordered as well.

Extremely wild weather in the area today so I headed out early to avoid any potential traffic issues. Ended up arriving earlier than the scheduled pickup time so I just waited around the small dining area. Another customer came in and picked up his order. The lone employee was very pleasant, chatted with myself and the other customer before ringing him up. He said mine were in the oven still and was checking on them.

Once they were finished he brought them up front with my garlic bread and completed my transaction. I was in the car and on my way home about 5 minutes before my scheduled time so props on the timing.

Once home I opened the boxes up and was pleased with the looks and aroma coming from the boxes. Both pizzas were exactly as ordered and taste as good as they looked. I prefer a bit more pepperoni on my pizza but that's not to say this amount was lacking, I just like a lot. The sausage had a good flavor and weren't tiny little pieces, which is nice.

I'd have no issues ordering from them again and looking forward to trying other menu items next time.

First time here. We ordered over the phone for pickup. We got sandwiches, fries & a calzone. Everything was delicious. Very fresh ingredients , homemade meatballs. Calzone had us excited to order pizza next time. Crust and ingredients were so good. Had that slightly yeasty taste of a fresh made, authentic crust. You can’t get that from a chain! Family owned, small business that should be supported. Great prices, great food, check them out! Also, if you pay cash, there’s a 3.25% discount over credit/debit card according to a sign near cash register.

I tried this place because I heard they had a good breaded steak sandwich. This place is nothing special from the outside or inside. It's a to go place only. But the breaded steak sandwich I tried was delicious and rivaled the Ricobene's sandwich in taste and size and for under ten dollars you can't beat it! The size was a little bigger than a regular sandwich from Ricobene's. The one thing I would suggest to the owners is to wrap the sandwich in foil and not just wax paper, to help keep the sandwich warm until you get it home. Otherwise if you don't feel like driving to the Southside for Ricobene's this place is a great alternative!

Cool little hole-in-the-wall place! We heard about this place and had to try it out. We ordered a large pizza and picked it up. Everyone inside was extremely nice and had that home town cozy feel to it. Pizza was large, hot and tasted great. We’ll definitely be stopping in here again.

Our family has been ordering from there for years. A true diamond in the rough. Authentic Southside thin-crust pizza. A small family-owned business run by good, hard-working individuals.

The food is so good the people learned my name and voice. This pizza is the best in the area. Little hole in the wall but it’s amazing!! The people and the food are both authentic. May god bless them and their establishment. Food and service so good I will be back soon !

Have lived in the area for the last 4 months and finally found our new go to pizza joint. We have tried three other pizza place before Carson’s Corner and none of them have compared. They were quick and good was great.
