Landmark pizzeria located in beautiful & luxurious downtown Lake Forest is a real gem for the locals and is truly some of THE BEST pizza I've ever had in my life.
When it comes to pizza, it really is what you like. Whether it's a popular franchise in the heart of Chicago or the Big Apple, or a hole-in-the-wall in some podunk town in Indiana or New Hampshire or Louisiana or maybe even a frozen pizza brand; to each his/her own.
I've only been to this location a couple of times being I did a few take-out orders from the west location which sadly closed down a few years ago. This pizza reigns supreme and for me is #1 tied with another local pizza joint which has locations in Mundelein & Third Lake.
Ferrentino's rocks and the venue kept clean/sanitized with an awesome menu with still reasonable prices and excellent customer service. Hope this place stays open for decades to come and I will continue striving to...
Read moreI have been going there about twice a month for the last six months because it's close to work. Pizza is good burgers are over priced.

The food is over priced and the mngr is rude and obnoxious to his employees. I felt bad that the kid got in trouble for asking a...
Read moreOh man. First time ordering take out the other day for lunch - amazing. This is up there with Barnaby's and Silo in my opinion. We got two pizzas - the Roma Mediterranean and the Chicago Thin. Both were fantastic but my favorite was the Med. the texture of the pizza was super fluffy and the garlic flavor was forward which I was a big fan of. Chicago thin was really delicious too, my only gripe would be that the giardinara kind of over powered the beef which I really wish I could taste more of as I think it should be the main ingredient of the 'za. I do prefer Barbary's cornmeal crust over Ferentino's, but Ferentino's is a nice change of pace from the usual suspects. We'll definitely be back to try the other pizzas,...
