"I've lived in the Crystal Lake area for about 6 years and I've known about this gem for a few years. And I'm just doing a review now. We were actually introduced to Alfredo's pizza at a neighbor's house during a birthday party. They ordered like 6 different pies to try and all were an absolute hit. I don't remember exactly which pizzas they were, as this was quite a few years ago but 1 specific pie did stick out above the rest. I'm from Elgin and there's a pizza place from there called Zza Factory and they have a pie called the Chicago Fire. On this pizza there is Italian beef and hot giardiniera. I crave this pizza every so often and being that Elgin is a hike from Crystal Lake I needed to find something that would fulfill this craving. The pizza from the Zza Factory is more of a Detroit style pizza with the thicker crust and Alfredo's pizza is not like this at all. If you're looking for good Detroit Style pizza, look up La Pizza Via in Fox River Grove. My go to at Alfredo's is the thin crust Italian beef pizza with hot giardiniera. This pizza nails everything correctly from the cheese to the sauce to the crust, EVERTHING just works and your taste buds will thank you for trying this pizza. Alfredo's Pizza is usually a forgotten thought on our dinner selection but this isn't a bad thing. The reason why this isn't a bad thing is because it's like a special occasion pizza. We might have it 2 or 3 times a year but every time we order, we remember why we love this place to begin with and how good it is. We've gotten the wings, boneless and traditional before and it's good. Being Laotian, we are very picky about our wings. I remember my friend Rashad telling me, I thought I've seen my family put down some chicken.... boy was I wrong... until I saw my Laotian homeboy and his family put down some wings, they can put down some chicken"
