OMG!! I love CPA! It's my first stop every time I come to Chicago and it never fails. The best pizza by far. Freshest ingredients and Midwest cheese that I just can't get in L.A. Definitely recommend this spot if you're ever in in my home town. The service is great and you'll want to end the meal with either a brownie or chocolate chunk cookie!!!

Fantastic pizza! It is the kind of pizza where everyone fights over the last piece. The pizza we ordered had a sausage, onion, green olive... and it was delicious. Delivery was also extremely fast. We also ordered a Caesar salad and the dressing was homemade!

We ordered a full slab of ribs tonight for dinner, the were delicious, tender and lean. The flavor of the bbq was awesome. The onion rings were plentiful and good. It was a very good meal. We enjoyed every bite! Have a good meal and try the ribs.

I order the same pizza every time. The works on a very thin crust. The pizza is to DIE FOR! Just enough sauce and toppings. That's generally difficult with a pizza with so many toppings on a thin crust to remain in order. A delicate balance that CPA gets right. With the works pizza at least. Delivery is friendly and on time. Food arrives hot and delicious. We ate the pizza before taking a picture, next time.

I have been here numerous times, I can't believe I'm only now writing a review! This is definitely my favorite pizza in Elgin. I've only ever had the thin crust pizza here and it might been the best Chicago tavern-style pizza I've ever had! Reasons: They consistently load their pizza with plenty of cheese. Lots of cheese, always. And I always swap out their regular pizza sauce for GARLIC MARINARA. It's so unbelievably good. Fresh and garlicky. I pretty much always order a house salad (large generous size for less thank $5!) ... read more

Ordered a few pizzas, a salad and a couple of apps last minute on Halloween. Long wait but with the shut downs due to Covid, and only delivery or carry out available, it was to be expected. Food was all delicious. The kids loved the pizza!

Pizza, lasagna, ribbs are great...all fried food is horrible and soggy ...also hit or miss on actually reading any special institutions for extra sauce

Food is good, but ever since Melanie left, the service has suffered. Also,the manager is an idiot. They got my last order wrong.

I love this place. We've been going for a minute now. They're right near our home. I love their Lasagne. Their shrimp plates are the bomb, too. My stepdad loves their 4 piece fried chicken. I'm also a fan of their mozzarella sticks. Their thin crust pizza is some of the best in town.
