Ordered two slices of sausage pizza. $10.00 out the door. Slices were very small but DELICIOUS. I'd still go back because they were that good. I'm 170 lbs and could probablly eat 5 of those small slices though. Next time I'll order a whole pizza in hopes of a better $ deal. Definitely recommend this place. (It was also a very very clean joint).

I've purchased from this location multiple times, never experienced this. The pizza was undercooked. Completely inedible.

We just received our delivery order. That came on time and the guy was very nice. No problems there. One of our items was a gluten free pizza. If you’re sadly subjected to the GF life, steer clear. The texture is AWFUL. Literally disintegrates in your mouth and feels like sand. It’s ROUGH. So, I’m pretty much just eating cheese with toppings at this point. So disappointed because I heard so many great things about this place. ?
Edit: The owner (I think??) or maybe a manager contacted my husband last night. He was very apologetic for the GF pizza and gave my husband a credit to use at a later date. What I failed to mention (bad on me) is my husband enjoyed the pizza he received. He had a regular crust. We’d like to extend our thanks for taking it upon himself (whether it was a manger or the owner) to reach out. That was very kind.

Take out order. Had to order an appetizer to meet a delivery requirement. Always order pizza from here, always good. Ordered calamari and it was just terrible, very rubbery, chewy and a very nasty fish smell threw it out, also just from 1 ring stomach problems the next day. DO NOT ORDER THE CALAMARI!!!

Got a tavern style sausage pizza with a butter crust. Maybe I went in with mid to low expectations, but it was very good. Highly recommend if you live in the neighborhood.

GOD I do not want to write this because I want to like Phils and I support small local businesses, but man, I regret going back there. I believe I met the owner once, nice people but - I am done with Phils.
I've picked up pizza from them more than once. Their GF crust is very good - rice or cauliflower choices. Do ask for extra sauce because mine was basically cheese on crust, it was so DRY.
Yesterday, a Friday, about 3:50pm, (not a busy time) I ordered delivery and they said under an hour. Well, I wish I went anywhere else. I gave them the building code, but they did not write it down, instead they told the driver to call but apparently did not give him the phone number. At 1hr and 20 minutes, nothing- so I called Phils to be told the driver is waiting downstairs.... He said he had been waiting just a few minutes and they told him to call but for whatever reason, he did not. He called Phil's instead but they did not call me either.
The food was **ICE COLD** and so gross, I threw most of it away. I should have called them. I very carefully reheated it (not so much as to cook it longer) in my toaster oven/air fryer. I am a professionally trained chef, I know my way around food and what not to do.
-Chicken Vesuvio (no soup or salad included as typically is w dinner entrees, just 3" of french bread, no cheese or butter) Chicken breast TOUGH AF. I mean rock hard chicken breast. I could barely get a sharp knife through it and could not chew it either. I cannot believe they would send this out. Overcooked to harden the proteins. HOW do you make chicken.. in liquid ..so tough? How do you screw this up? The heat is too high or you are overcooking it by ALOT.
-Extra order of Vesuvio potatoes- $9 I don't think they even put an entire potato in there, it was 5 small slices. $9. Are you kidding me?
- Italian Beef, asked for not dipped but DROWNED - gravy bread, yeah? This came w slaw and fries. The sandwich came on dry bread, they barely dipped it at all, even though I told the guy "take it for a long swim, a soak in the gravy vat". I am glad I ordered a side of gravy, but the beef and gravy have NO flavor, just like an arby's french dip or basic AF roast beef sandwich. Not kidding. No spices, it is not what I would call a Chicago Italian beef, at all. No no no. They probably order it from food service vs making it in house.
- Chicken Wings. ordered them crispy and dry with sauce on the side so they don't get soggy in transit. No blue cheese available. The meat tasted old..rotten smelling, not even close to fresh. I worried I would get food poisoning! HOW could you cook this much less send it out to a customer? Did you not smell the rot? I DID!! The oil used to fry them smelled rancid but it could have been the meat. The wings were not crispy but burned in places while the rest of each wing's skin was rubbery and still uncooked. The meat was dry. Turn you fryer temperature down. Dry the wings off from all moisture before they go in it. Change your oil. In addition, the buffalo sauce must have been bad too because it did not taste right, there was a sour funky thing going on, so I used a bottle of hot sauce. Ice cold fries tasted so gross reheated.
Their coleslaw is good, like KFC sweet and chopped similarly. Their Caesar dressing is good but the salad I had ordered another time with my pizza, was wilted and turning rotten. Caesar salad is loaded with parmesan cheese and the croutons were good.
Another reviewer commented they do not even give ketchup with the fries. Be aware.
Let's just say I went to bed hungry last night.
Phils, man, you gotta do better. IDK if I will ever be back and if I am, it's pizza and nothing else. Pick up, because delivery during slower times is almost 90 minutes... for NOT STUFFED PIZZA, NOT

Phils is one hidden gem in a crowded Milwaukee Avenue food corridor. I love their pizza and salads. Generous offerings and personal modest service..just like the old country.

I find that the most reliable pizza reviews come from Chicago natives. With that being said, I’ll give you a reliable review here. The pizza is outstanding! Phil’s Special is the way to go… green peppers, onions , sausage, and mushrooms. Oof! The crust is perfect, not too thick and the right texture. The sauce is so good. It has a hint of sweetness. The cheese is nice, not too much and not too little. The sausage has a homemade taste and was full of flavor. The XL 16” is perfect for a family 4-5 or three grown men.
Delivery is cheap and lightning fast. Overall, Phil’s is legit Chicago, tavern style. Fresh, fast, delicious!
6/2024 2* Sorry guys. I just did not like the pizza! Looks great. Tasted not so good. I could not even finish the pizza and had to throw it away. Flavor was just no good for me. Service when I was there was ok. And the atmosphere was alright. I just did not like the pizza. I will not be back.
