Mr V's Pizza — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Over the weekend I went to Mr. V's in Chicago. This place wasn't even on my list. Small dining room with a few tables. A lot of people coming in for pick up orders. I went with a 16" sausage pizza. The crust was firm and crisp with nice crunchy ends. The cheese was really flavorful and had a buttery flavor to it. The sauce was really tasty and had a lot of spices in it. You could see oregano and black pepper. The sausage was juicy and had a great fresh Italian sausage flavor. All of the ingredients complimented each other well and you could taste each ingredient in every bite. I really enjoyed this pizza.

A friendly neighborhood pizzeria that has been in business for over 60 years, Mr V's offers an excellent thin crust pizza, crunchy and toasted, with their homemade sauce and fresh ingredients.

My friend's family has been coming here basically since before they were born.

I live near here so when I just had a craving for pizza and didn't want to go far, I called Mr. V's. When I first went in there a year ago, I thought their prices were high... But they have been coming up with some great specials that make me think I'm coming back for a Beef Combo.

The Double Dough pizza (with sausage & mushrooms) was wonderful and I even had it for breakfast this morning it was so good.

It is a great little place that looks like a rat-hole but is really good if you give it a chance.

In a neighborhood where Consumer Level Businesses are hard to find, I'm shocked this place isn't hopping all the time.

Even if I move, I'll come...
