Barnaby's Of Northbrook is one of the best thin Chicago Pizza's ever! It is the only one I know of that has the corn meal crust on the bottom. It's very much a family place. You go up and order and sit in your high backed wooden booth & wait until your pizza is ready. It was one of the first self-serve places around making it great for kids.We used to take our kids there when they we little and now theyare 15-32 years old, so that tells our history. We love it! Highly endorse the Pizza!

The food at this Barnaby's is the best. I love the potato skins and the french onion soup. The pizza cannot be beat for thin crust. While the restaurant is hectic, the one in Niles is even crazier - AND WONDERFUL. Bring the kids and they can laugh and visit and walk around and be loud and HAVE FUN. Barnaby's is not for a romantic dinner. I love all of the Barnaby's for their relaxed, fun atmosphere and Fantastic pizza! Pros: Fun, great pizza, beer and varied menu Cons: Not for a quiet romantic dinner

I'll give in to the fact that the place has good food. That's the ONLY compliment I'll give the place. It is a free-for-all as far as finding a place to sit. People throw their coats, bags, phones...whatever on the tables to "hold their place" while they run up and order their food. It is complete chaos! The customers were the rudest bunch of people I've ever seen. While the food is good, it's not worth eating here...order to go if you must. I'll never go back!

Labeled as a family restaurant that serves a full menu of food and drink, Barnaby's real treasure is the beloved pizza pie. In true Chicago style, this pizza is of the thin crust variety and cut in squares. The outer edge of the crust is a little more raised and molded into a curvey, wave-like shape. This feature, along with the use of corn meal added to the bottom, gives Barnaby's a unique look with an original, great tasting crust. They offer a wide array of toppings, including italian sausage, which is simply tremendous. The cheese and sauce are consistently served in correct amounts, that blend together delightfully. The interior gives off a nice, dark tavern feel for the romantic couple, as well as a jukebox and several televisions, for large groups and sports fans respectively. Barnaby's of Northbrook is the Chicago area's best kept secret for pizza. Pros: Inexpensive, Abundance of seating, Good parking Cons: No food servers, At times noisy, Sometimes crowded
