Ordered Dino’s tonight . They nailed it, crust was thin and crispy, sauce was zesty, cooked perfectly. Honestly this will be my new place when ordering pizza. It’s so hard to find good pizza in the Algonquin area but this is it!!! 5 stars all the way!!

Tonight we had the thin crust pepperoni with the Dino's bread and a cannoli. The cheese mix used for the pizza was a super tasty blend and the crust was nicely crispy around the edges. Overall we were very impressed. The bread was great, and the cannoli delicious. Going forward, this will be our go-to for pizza. And, if you want to try something new if you're in the area visiting, give it a shot! I can't believe I lived in the area for 30 years and hadn't tried it until recently! Best pizza in Lake In The Hills. Friendly staff too. I can't wait to try their sandwiches...

Update 2 (2024): We moved to North Carolina about 2 years ago but we've come back to Illinois a few times since. Each time we make it a point to get Dino's pizza because it is fantastic! Not only is the food amazing, so are the owners! We just ate there last night and we're going to order again Friday. It's something that we look forward to every visit. If you haven't tried Dino's yet, don't wait, order it for dinner tonight. Make sure you order extra for that late night snack (yes, it's delicious cold also). Update 1 (2019): I have an update on my original review. I didn't think things could go bad... and I was right! The pizza is just as good, or better, than the first time we tried it. Dino's hasn't just raised the bar, they've blown away the scale. I don't consider myself a pizza expert. I just eat a lot of pizza (usually from Dino's) and I believe that they are by far the best pizza around! If you haven't already tried it, do so! I encourage you to go in, see the owner (Dino?), play some slots and enjoy the pizza! Original (2018): We tried Dino's for the first time last night and it was amazing! The sauce they make has a strong tomato flavor but is excellent when posted with the cheese used. The price is right where it should be. We ordered one sausage pizza and one pepperoni pizza; I'm usually prefer pepperoni pizza but this sausage pizza was awesome! The pizza isn't overly greasy, it is still pizza after all. Oh, and the mozzarella sticks... Amazing! The short is, I don't know if I can eat pizza anywhere else without wishing it was Dino's pizza!

The pizza was great. The crust was amazing. The Wise guy sandwich was delicious. And the Beer nuggets are a must have add-on for every order. Highly recommend.

When Riverview changed to Brew Hause, we wanted to try something different. We didn't feel like ordering from Morettis or Firebar either. Dino's did not disappoint!!! We liked it so much, we took the kids the following week. This is definitely our new go-to for pizza!! Dino and his wife are extremely dedicated and kind. If you like to try different pizza places, you will not be disappointed.

This little pizza spot is great. Love the food and staff. This has to be on your must-have pizza restaurants in the far northwest suburbs.
