Never had a chance to go there but when it was operating heard it was one of the best in the area.

I didn't, but I did find a few bits of discussion:

Charlotte's Pizza - Ask Your Local Source
Charlottes in Palatine. - Chicago Area - Chowhound

Found a map of where it used to be. Looks like it was bulldozed to make room for a highway ramp:
Former Site of Charlottes Pizza

Apparently closed in 1989. Primo Pizza, just up Rt. 14 has a pizza option that is supposedly like Charlotte's.

YES! Best pizza! We used to go there every week when I was growing. I havent been by the area for a long time but it was vacant land (the railroad bought it) the building was moved down the street - now a pricy car dealership ( or it was 6 years ago) they said they were going to reopen on that site ( Deer Ave & Rt14) but never did...then I heard they sold the recipe to a place on Rt12...never did find it! They were also the first pub around to sell Linny beer!
Guess I am one of those over 30 whose face lights up! Although I dont understand the moving it for an on ramp...for what the rail line?

You're right some bar bought the recipe and tried to duplicate it, but heard it was no where near as good as the original.

Sergio's Pizza now has a really good Charlottes Pizzeria that is the real recipe that is on Rt 14 in Barrington, IL.

I would wish I had the money to re-open Charlottes Pizza in the shopping plaza in Barrington where the Staples was with a party room, bar, local band performing area like Durty Nellies would be ulimate.

MOD EDIT: Not enough posts to make recommendation

What a great place we went there growing up probably twice a month or more , My dad use to get Linenkugals for .65 cents , They didn't have all the fixens Chesse and Sausage were the two options so we had to bring in your own , mushrooms, pepperoni or what ever you wanted and they would through them in when you ordered at the window. But is was a cool place to go .
Pizzas where only a couple bucks , I lived within Bicycle rang so the Buds and myself stopped by there a lot.
