Each slice was filling, so it’s definitely a meal to share with friends or family. The place had a laid-back atmosphere and the staff were friendly, making it a spot worth visiting again.“

“Eravamo in 4 a cena e siamo rimasti soddisfatti sia del cibo che del servizio . Il locale era pieno di gente ma la cameriera Maria ci ha serviti velocemente e in maniera simpatica e professionale. Le pizze che abbiamo mangiato sono state ottime. Ristorante consigliato.“

“A buttery, crunchy crust loaded with chunky tomato sauce and layers of gooey cheese and sausage. It’s a fork-and-knife kind of meal—and worth every bite. Heavy but incredibly flavorful.“

“Good food , good gem and good friends…..?“

“Awesome atmosphere and killer service from the crew at the bar! Top notch amazing pizza and overall experience! ���“

“Great customer service and atmosphere 👍🏽“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

“oh my goodness I found this pizza by chance at my local Meijer. Hands down best frozen pizza or any take and bake. The sausage was delightful and the Cheese was The Cheesiest ever it actually did the cheese stretch. Great Job it doesn't deserve the Bottom shelf“

“The deep dish was extremely good. The crust was a combination of tender, chewy and crunchy. The tomatoes were superbly seasoned, great cheese pull…friendly staff.“

“Amazing dine-in pizza spot. Unique pizzas by the slice means everyone can try something different. Their pulled pork pizza is the best slice I've ever eaten, bar none. Cheese curds are delicious too!“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

“Pizza was great! The honey drizzles made the pizza and the mozzarella was so fresh! Music was trendy and drinks were well made. Attentive server 😊“

“We live towards the Rockford, Il area but never ever miss an opportunity to visit. I get the Italian beef pizza and my friend gets the polish sausage and sour kraut pizza. TO DIE FOR!!! Love love love ❤️“

“I love this place and I love Giant. The crust is great, good texture and flavorful, and the cheese they use is top notch. Pepperonis were also high quality, if there’s a problem it lies with the sauce. There's hardly any, not even close to enough on either their tavern or NY style. Order the NY style with extra sauce. The tavern is so thin that there’s barely any room for sauce, if you care. Still solid tavern.“

“Delicious food & great menu. The service is top notch! The Italian beef is a favorite of mine when visiting from Cincinnati. 🙂“

“We recently had dinner at Coalfire on Grand Ave. in West Town and really enjoyed their coal oven baked pizza. We dined early on a weekend evening so no problem with grabbing a table on a walk in basis. Opening hours are Indoor environs were urban modern with tables spaced nicely. Opening hours are 4pm to 10pm (Tue-Thurs) and noon to 10.30pm (Fri-Sun), closed on Mondays. Service was very friendly. Menu features a few salads as well as a list of pizzas. They also do a build your pizza custom order if preferred. We ordered the Jalapeno Pepperoni which was nicely baked thin crust with a good amount of char. Savoury tomato sauces, cheese, pepperoni and jalapeno were all good quality and tasty. This was a really good pizza, one we'd gladly return to reorder. Would also be happy to try other pizzas on the Coalfire menu.“

“We just moved into the neighborhood & was excited to try Roots. The cheese sticks were the best. Dorian was our waiter. He was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He suggested the Bbq pizza. It was so good! Our experience could not have been better ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

“Outside patio was so charming. Enter thru the alley and look for the twinkle lights. Fun music selection and awesome pizza and salads. Staff was super friendly and quick, Definitely a gem in the neighborhood!“

“Great pizza. Closest Chicago NY style pizza to actually eating it in NYC. And I’m from NYC.“

“This is easily the best neopolitan pizza I’ve had in chicago! Haven’t had anything better honestly. We got the pistachio pesto pizza and soppresata - both were super good. It was about a 30 min wait at lunch time so just make sure you have time to hang out or order ahead. One pizza could feed two if you aren’t crazy hungry, although my husband and I finished one each!“

“I have lived most of my life in Chicago not eating New York-style pizza, but this place opens a few years ago and it is becoming one of my favorites. I still eat a lot of other styles of pizza but for just one quick slice this is a go to. I had a friend recently turn me onto cheese pizza, and that is my favorite slice here. If you’re going to eat here, you have to make sure to fold your slice of pizza because that is the traditional way to eat this style of pizza. I hope you enjoy it.“

“Was excited to finally try this neighborhood gem. An excellent choice for my birthday dinner. The arancini were phenomenal! Can’t wait to come back.“

“Great tasting gluten free pizza for this Celiac Disease person! Best ever in 12 years! Owner Robert was very well informed. Pizza was very fresh, tasty and the crust was out of this world. Can’t wait until I get back to Chicago!“

“This spot is a lively place to grab pizza and drinks with friends. The menu has a nice variety of pizzas along with other comfort food favorites, and everything comes out hot and flavorful. The atmosphere is upbeat and fun, making it just as good for a casual dinner as for a night out. It’s an easy go-to when you’re in the mood for good food and a good time.“

“We sat at the bar and loved that they had the college football games on, but what made it even better is that they were happy to change it to whatever we wanted to watch. Our waitress, Geniveve, was absolutely amazing—so sweet, attentive, and friendly. She was serving so many tables yet still made sure we felt taken care of. She honestly deserves a raise!

The chairs were comfortable, the atmosphere was clean, and the food came out quickly and hot. We ordered Nancy’s wings, the “A Lot of Meat” pizza, a kids’ portion of spaghetti with meat sauce, a Caesar salad, mozzarella sticks, and the cannolis. Everything was on point!
• Nancy’s wings: Flavorful with a really tasty sauce—definitely a hit, but wings as well!
• Mozzarella sticks: 8.5/10 – huge (almost like breadsticks) and loved the variety of dipping sauces.
• Caesar salad: 10/10 – hands down the best Caesar salad I’ve ever had!
• Pizza: 7/10 – solid, but pretty standard, nice crust on the pizza and color.
• Spaghetti with meat sauce: 7.5/10 – a classic, tasty, and satisfying, the meat in the sauce was yummy!
• Cannolis: 6/10 – the filling was thick and rich, and the shell had a nice crunch. They were massive—about the size of a mozzarella stick but even thicker.

The pesto and pizza sauce were a tiny bit on the salty side, but overall the flavors were so good. Great spot to hang out, relax, and enjoy good food with awesome service! Overall a solid 4.0 food spot!“

“I just did a catering order for 250 people at a company event yesterday. The food was delivered on time and everyone loved it. This is a great place to consider for catering.“

“Delicious food and great customer service . Staff super friendly.“

“I absolutely enjoyed my lunch here yesterday! I've walked past here many times in the evening with my dog 🐕 and finally had an opportunity and excuse to come in to try their pizza. I picked the Mary pesto pie 🥧 named after Chef Joel's Aunt and he personally came to my table straight from the kitchen to present it to me. I enjoyed the texture, flavors and lovely presentation and the restaurant itself is charming, cozy and perfect to enjoy some gourmet comfort food. All the staff here is welcoming and excited to share their knowledge of the contents of the food they serve. My mouth watered though once I viewed their pastry selection so I couldn't leave without trying their version of chocolate pudding. They open their doors 🚪 at 9 AM for breakfast so I would love to return here again just to understand in a hot chocolate and pastries. Thanks for a wonderful time and I've still got pizza 🍕 leftover from yesterday's indulgence. I hope to find outside patio seating here this summer 🙏 so my dog can share a pizza pie with me ....“

“Happy Camper Pizza definitely has a fun vibe — the décor is playful and the setting is unique, with tire swings and a casual, lively atmosphere. The pizza was good, though not outstanding. It’s a nice spot to hang out with friends, especially for drinks, but it can get pretty loud and service felt a bit slow during peak hours. Worth a visit if you’re in the mood for something different.“

“MAN LISTEN!!!! We drove from the far south side (state line to be exact) to taste a slice. We showed up and you showed out!!! You lived up to our expectations and gave us a story to tell as well. Thanks to the team at the Roscoe Village location. #EatingMyLastSliceNow You are now my recommendation for best pizza in Chicago to my guests at my job. #TeamHospitality“

“The Stop a Long did not disappoint. Amazing burgers and fun atmosphere. out server Jack was great. thank you for a great experience“

“We were excited to try Bonci, but the experience was jarring from the moment we walked in. Instead of the welcoming ambiance you’d expect at a Roman-style pizzeria, we were blasted with deafening Spanish music—so loud it was impossible to hear my date. If I wanted a Roman pizza, I definitely didn’t sign up for a Dominican jungle soundtrack. It completely ruined the atmosphere.

Now, the pizza itself is fantastic—no complaints there. But the service? Terrible. The guy behind the counter didn’t understand English and kept asking me the same question over and over. I told him multiple times that I wanted four slices, all the same size. Each time, he asked, “How much?” It felt like an absurd game of broken telephone.

Honestly, the service in this city is consistently awful, and Bonci is no exception. It’s a shame that such great pizza is marred by such an incompetent staff and terrible atmosphere.“

“I was visiting Chicago and stumbled upon this place looking for a quick bite for lunch. It was so good I went back two more times, and brought friends on the subsequent visits. Nothing fancy, just a great giant slice of Chicago style thin crust pizza and friendly staff. Not only that, it's priced great -- two slices and two drink for $15. They have some tables so you can eat in. Would definitely go back on my next visit and would definitely recommend.“

“We love the Stopalong! This location is lovely and the patio is a fun spot. Vegan options. Friendly staff. Something for everyone. The pizza is SO GOOD. We especially love the text club (they send great promotions and coupons!)

Dietary restrictions: Elle Woods is the best pizza!“

“Great food and top notch service. A must have when we are in the city.“

“Best Chicago deep dish pizza.“

“Bellona’s never disappoints. They usually arrive earlier than quoted, food is always delicious and hot upon arrival. Tonight it was later arriving but I blame myself as I order a stuffed as opposed to the regular thin . Oh and the stuffed was amazing!“

“My friends and I love this spot. We have gone multiple times and had a great experience every time. Recently I had an issue with a delivery order and the restaurant's manager Phil was SO accommodating and kind. 10/10 would recommend... great food and great service!“
