Best Italian in Lincolnwood
Master Critic Review
Rocket Slice
7.6
A kosher, style-hopping slice shop where the draw is choosing your lane—NY-style, Detroit, tavern-thin, or deep dish—without committing to a full-service night out. Best used as a quick-hit pickup or late-evening bite when you want pizza variety more than dining-room atmosphere.
Must-Try Dishes:
NY Style Slice, Detroit Style Pizza, Chicago Style Deep Dish (9")

Logistics & Planning

Noise level: Moderate — typical slice-shop energy with background chatter and kitchen noise.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes during peak evening hours, shorter if grabbing slices only.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese slices and vegetarian-topping options across multiple styles.
