“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“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

“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!“

“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.

“Excellent Deep Dish Pizza!“

“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!“

“Came with a party of 8, and every one of us were satisfied and happy with what we ordered. Our Server was awesome, and the desserts oh my. Will definitely be making our way back from the southwest burbs“

“I ordered the gluten free deep dish stuffed pizza and let me tell you, BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD. CRIED TEARS OF JOY BECAUSE IT WAS THAT GOOD. 10/10, CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.“

“Our go to Pizza Night spot. Quick & delicious every time!“

“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“

“Our waiter DJ was fantastic! So friendly & great service!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“First time here, amazing service and food was delicious. Owner or manager came to every table to check in and thank us for coming in and support this business. I will definitely be back. So good!!!“

“Probably the best pizza I’ve ever had (and as a fat guy from Wisconsin, I know a few things about pizza).“

“Very fresh ingredients, made to order, piping hot, great taste.“

“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!“

“Even on Halloween when every pizza joint was packed, pizza came out perfect and amazing! Well worth the wait! Great job guys keep up the good work! Midway loves you!“

“Holy moly that Caesar wrap add chicken was so delicious. Their pizza is great too! So decided they are next door to Imperial Oak Brewing in Willow Springs!“

“1st time being here and everything was A+! We came in and sat at the bar while our food was being freshly made. Awesome and Friendly staff! Enjoyed a little bit of the game on tv and had some cheese fries while we waited with our drinks. I definitely want to go back and try more on the menu! Brought the pizzas home to 4 teenagers and they devoured them in minutes. Lol Thanks so much for nice little “date” night while we waited. 🍕“

“their neapolitan pizza is the BEST around here. Perfectly chewy with a slightly charred crust ... trust when I tell you it is tasty, give it a shot. you won't be disappointed. Also, the sausage arancini is phenomenal... be sure to grab an order with a Margarita napoletana pizza and you're in for good treat.“

“����� there food is great and the pizza is awesome �“

“muy buena comida y atención!!“

“We LOVE ❤️ Milly’s meticulously hand crafted pizza! You can absolutely taste the love and care that goes into their food-well worth the wait to experience this deliciousness!! Keep up the great work we’re customers for life!“

“Great pizza! Moved into the neighborhood and was trying to find a good local pizza joint. I found them via advertisement in the weekly ads. Business is always very professional and kind.“

“The Best food in Chicago,delicious food,good prices,and the nicest owner in the world,Franco“

“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!“

“Best pizza slices around!“

“We stopped in for brunch on the recommendation of our son, who said he’d heard good things about the Wolfhound. He was right! Great food and atmosphere and the owner is a great guy!“

“Tuesday is their $1 wings deal of the day and they are fantastic! We also had the 3 sliders combo and they were also fantastic!“

“My first time trying Giuliano’s! I picked up a pizza last evening and literally could not stop eating it. This is arguably the BEST pizza in the entire Chicago suburbs. I got thin crust with spinach and roasted red peppers. The sauce, cheese, and toppings were absolutely amazing. What a great find and will recommend to all my friends!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Seen a FB post about it a Wed/Thur deal and the food looked good. I lived in Lyons for about 4 years and never heard about this spot until now. And definitely well worth it. Customer excellent and food delicious. Even w/o the sale price I truly believe this pizza is worth the value. This shall be our new go to!!! 1/4 of the pizza didn’t make it home🔥🔥🤫“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“No doubt the pizza’s are amazing but once we bring them home they do not taste good as we dine in at eat. Also, not only me but alot of people have noticed how rude the guy is who picks up the call. I am giving my order over the phone and he rushes me because he has someone coming in his restaurant. Next , I ask him couple of questions which he shows so much attitude. Third , I hate dining in this place . The guy keeps checking to see if we didn’t make the tables or floor messy. No kind of professionalism. We do not eat free . We pay for the pizza’s he should not show this type of etiquette“
