“ This is by far the best pizza in the area. I’ve been all around this country and have had lots of pizza. Nothing comes close to Johnnys Pizza. They have a great deep dish and the original “thin” is the absolute best. Thin crust with sausage, bacon and light garlic is my recommendation. The staff is always friendly. Never had a bad experience and I’ve been coming here for 25 years. ”

“ Great pizza! It was really tasty. The first time there came from california! Cashier was really helpful and welcoming. The pizza was really good, and everything came out in a timely manner. I also had the Italian ice, which was great also. If you are ever in kankakee illions, please stop by they need more business, awesome, and very good food. ”
“ Pizza was great. Light fluffy crispy crust, tasty sauce, and decent cheese and toppings. I've had Chicago pizza and this is every bit as good. We dined in for lunch on a summer day. There were games for us to play like a giant Othello game. The fans kept us cool but were loud so don't expect to talk much. They waited on us even though I paid take out prices. 50 for four Italian ice drinks and a large pizza. Overall, I recommend Johnny's. ”
“ Tried their thin crust pizza for the first time tonight after getting a BOGO coupon in my mailbox and seeing a recent social media post rating the pizza as one of the best in town. The lady on the phone was extremely friendly and fast, and her hour delivery time was quite precise for a Saturday night order. Glad to say I’ve added to my very small local list of high quality pizza places — reminiscent of Chicago style thin crust! I collected my pizza tickets and WILL be a returning customer. ”
