“A delivery app made a mistake with my order. LaBarra took charge and the general manager personally delivered 2 delicious pizzas to make up for the outside apps mistake. Above and beyond! Thank you!“

“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 food was excellent. We were a party of 6 and everyone had something different. Portion sizes were large. Food was piping hot when served. Wait staff was friendly. The owner came over to check on our group at least twice during our dining experience. Loved the atmosphere. I will come here every time I’m visiting Chicago!“

“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!“

“Best GF Pizza I have ever had and I have been GF for 15 years! Highly recommend!“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

“I heard a lot about this place through out the years! I have tried to stop in but for 1 reason or another it was closed so let’s dive into this review. Incredible Fantastic Phenomenal Amazing Spectacular Food! Freddy’s is the Famiglia on Holidays and your Nona’s and Zia’s all cooking pumping out hot fresh delicious food from all the Kitchens
(typically 2 in most Italian households 1 upstairs and 1 in bashement) lol 😂
Freddy’s is like I went back to 1990’s St.Calistus St.Joseph’s table. Stop in the Food Service and Establishment all live up to its promises. You can not have a bad meal here.

“Absolutely Outstanding!

Mike, Bransino, and Poppi are an absolute delight — their passion truly shines through in every slice. As a Chicago native who’s had more than my fair share of pizza, I can confidently say this place sets a new standard. The pizza is crafted to perfection — crisp, flavorful, and made with fresh, quality ingredients.

The menu is spot-on: simple, focused, and designed for true pizza lovers. But what really makes this place special is the people — their warmth and genuine hospitality make every visit feel like you’re part of the neighborhood family.

Today was my first visit, and it definitely won’t be my last. Consider me a regular from here on out! If you’re looking for incredible pizza, great company, and a relaxing neighborhood vibe, this is the spot. Don’t hesitate — come experience one of Chicago’s finest pizza gems!“

“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.“

“Went here for a late night pizza to celebrate my friends birthday! They were super hospitable. Their pizza is good as hell and they gave us a free cannoli. Wow. I’m sure if my friend batted his eyelashes hard enough they would’ve invited him out back for a lil sumpthin sumpthin. If you’re drunk and hungry in Logan square, you simply cannot do better than this establishment. If you go, do yourself a favor and get the GARLIC FRIES“

“I’m no stranger when it comes to Serbian food, since I have been to one Serbian restaurant and now 3 Serbian style cafés. The location can be easily missed if you don’t look closely, but it’s between J&C Modern Way Dry Cleaners and D’Pelos Salon. When you walk in, you order at the counter. They have 5 tables that you can sit at if you choose to dine in. I decided to go with some of their traditional bakery items like burek and mantije. I also ordered prosciutto cotto calzone. The owners were very nice and helpful. One of the owners offered me a piece of mantije to sample. Prices were extremely reasonable, they definitely give you a generous amount of food for your money.

-burek (meat) 5 - they have 3 different kinds, meat, cheese, and pizza. It had a flaky crust and the meat was very tender. If you have this for breakfast, it is filling but it’s good if you’re in a hurry.
-mantije (meat) 5 - kind of a miniature version of a burek but bite size. Crust is crunchy with a plentiful amount of meat in each piece. This was one portion.
-prosciutto cotto calzone 5 - you will have to be patient because it does take a little awhile to prepare and cook. I loved the big pieces of prosciutto and I like how the pesto just oozes out with each bite. The crust has a tasty, cheesy taste from the mozzarella.“

“I don't like pizza in general but I can't say no to Belonas.“

“Ordered catering for a 40th birthday party and it was excellent! A great value and everyone enjoyed the food! Huge portions of chicken and salad and guests devoured the beef! And of course the pizza never disappoints! Highly recommend! Great service!“

“We've loved Joe's for over a decade and decided to rent the party room at their new location for an event. It was fantastic! The food was great as always, and Kim and Eric took wonderful care of our party throughout the event. Thank you for making everything perfect for our friends and family!“

“Found this little gem after a nearby hike. Small little spot but big on flavor. Had the wings and the Forget About It pizza. Both were outstanding in flavor and value.

“DOMINOS BETTER GO OUT OF BUSINESS. First time trying this place and let me tell you… RUN TO THIS PLACE! By far the best pizza ever. Went here on an empty stomach. Left there as a happy camper. Very impressed. Truly a hidden gem. Finally a pizza that’s halal and delicious. I’m definitely coming back! Yay!! The negative reviews need to stop. First of all they are clearly trying to fix mistakes bc no business is perfect 2nd they will improve if you just give them a chance. Chill out! I definitely recommend this place.“

“We ordered the Ciprianis Special stuffed pizza, baked meat ravioli, garden salad with creamy garlic and cannoli's for pick up. The customer service was great and the food was ready when promised. Now let's get to the food. Amazing crust on the stuffed pizza with tons of ingredients which tasted fresh and not a slice was left after the whole pizza was devoured by myself and the crew. The baked ravioli with cheese on top was also fantastic! Their garden salad had everything a garden salad should including radishes and the cannolis had a crunchy shell with tasty filling. I was 100% satisfied with my order and will definitely be coming back. Thanks Ciprianis!“

“Love this place. Great flavorful food, great wait staff. Our “goto” place for great comfort food.“

“I walked into Paisans the location for your next Super Bowl Party experience. My pics will speak for themselves. I wanted their Chicken Chili soup but I was out voted. As you stroll through the party row get your line dance on. Service was top notch and cocktails well once you get one you will come back for another. The see through kitchen took me back to Italy.“

“bello romantic delicioso“

“Amazing Beefs! And- Love Lynette !“

“These guys have been on my list for a while and it was worth the wait. THIS IS PIZZA. Bridgeport phils still has my heart but this place just bumped into the 2/3 spot for me. TOP 3 Chicago pizzeria.

Crust: this is what did it for me. The crust was a perfect thickness and kept its structure/ crisp throughout the whole pizza

Sauce: they’re cooking down their own sauce I believe. It’s got a touch of that fresh tomato sweetness. Nothing over powering, just a great classic sauce

Sausage/cheese: high quality Battaglia products. Traditional cheese blend and good sausage. Nothing crazy in this category but definitely brings their pizza together

DONT SLEEP ON ROSANGELAS!“

“From the Minnesota area. I work in Chicago area for last 2.5 years and just heard of this place. Glad I stopped by. The pie was ridiculously delicious and Mile the bartender was a way cool bartender! I love this place highly recommend!“

“Hands down the Butter Burger was the best burger I have ever enjoyed, and I have thrown back a few burgers in my time...😎“

“We love your pizzeria and bar! Colleen was an amazing server! The food is delicious!“
