“Visiting the Bahai Temple nearby, JPs was an easy walk and well worth the stroll. Immaculate and charming inside, with large rectangular checkered covered tables and benches perfect for family or casual reunions. The menu catered to a range of tastes, and designer Pizza selections were extensive. We ordered spinach salad with beets and walnuts, and the North Beach pizza. We watched our gluten free pizza dough being rolled through kitchen doorway. The cheeses were unique and exquisite. Easily the best GF pizza I've tasted. But there's more. Dishes were delivered to our table with personal care, and coffee arrived in a full pot - a dark roast freshly hand filtered. This cafe is full of surprises and a momentary journey to a vacation setting. Please add JPs to your secret get away list.“
“I was born in Brooklyn, New York and came to Chicago 50 years ago. I have been searching for New York pizza throughout the years. What most places call New York pizza does not pass the muster. After all these years I have finally discovered NY pizza at Pizza by Sal in Wilmette. Thank you!!!!!“
“Really can’t think of anything that was missing from our visit to Neapolita! Came here for a quick bite before catching the train and sat at the bar for a glass of wine, the burrata, and a bowl of the kale and bean zuppe. It was outrageous how simple and delicious those things were, so I ended up ordering a pizza to go! The pizza had to be reheated but it was still amazing. I’d love to go back. Thanks for such quality service and food!“
“The pizza is the best in town in our opinion. Big Tomato is a long-time favorite of ours. They lose a star because delivery is chronically late. If we order for pick-up, they're really timely. Delivery is a problem. It's become routine for us to call 15 minutes after our order was due and have the delivery made a few minutes after we call. How long has our food been sitting there before they have to be reminded to deliver it? It's incredibly frustrating. Recommend you schedule your delivery order for much earlier than you need it, then plan to call them to remind them to send it out.“
“So we moved to the neighborhood a few months back and started the first weekend with a dominos pizza from this location. No matter what I have ordered, it is always hot, fresh and tasty. Let's talk about the speed of delivery. I use the app to order and they clearly have ovens in their car because what normally takes me the time to drive from the L station to my house, they are knocking on my door with the delivery. It is either speed racer or teleportation.“
“This is a takeaway location only.We have been coming here for many years, many years. The pizzas are always hot, ready and tasty. The folks are always fast, friendly and effective.For us the best deal are in the holidays when you can buy $100 gift cards and they give you a $20 bonus coupons. What a deal. But the bonus card have to be used with 2-3 months.“
“Probably the best pizza I've had in Chicago. Started with a small focaccia sandwich filled with spinach and cheese, on the house. Really enjoyed the pistachio and sausage pizza despite it's looks. It is quite heavy though. The prosciutto and arugula pizza was a bit too salty from the meats. The tiramisu was great too. Overall a nice, homey restaurant. Would love to try the arancini next time.“
“Absolutely. Worth. All. The. Hype!!!! OMG I’ve been trying to get my hands on this pizza and I finally did and let me tell you… incredible flavors the pepperoni with the jalapeños and the sauce was perfect! It is by no means thin crust New York style Lucalis pizza but this is Chicago pan pizza all day!!!!“
“It's truly a crime that this place doesn't have more reviews. This is one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life.The sourdough is splendid, giving the crust a beautiful balance between soft and crunchy. The sauce is out of this world, I wish they sold jars of it so I could eat it more often. Every topping is incredibly flavorful and fresh. My favorites were the ricotta, cherry tomatoes, beef meatballs, and spinach.Make sure to preorder at least a day before you plan to go, since they make a limited amount of pizzas. Do yourself a favor and order the larger size, that way you can enjoy leftovers once you're back home and dreaming about the pizza! I can't wait to come back here again soon!“
“This is the spot I NEEDED in the neighborhood. A casual pizza family-owned restaurant that brings me back to Italy. The staff is fantastic and the food is delicious. It's BYOB as well. I got the Pistachina and it was 10/10; I want to try other pizzas but that one is TOO GOOD...“
“The pizza was flavorful. My kids liked it, and winning a kid’s approval is tough. The only negative was the server/cashier might be a little forgetful lol. I got extra toppings and got olives instead of mushrooms. I asked for ketchup and we finished the fries before the ketchup arrived. No biggie tho. No pics because I was too hungry.“
“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.“
“Always a delicious experience! I live just a five minute walk away from here so it's hard not to be tempted every so often to come here for a slice or two of their gourmet NYC style thin crust.Everything I've tried here has been extremely delicious from the white pizza ? to the pepperoni and the grandma style slices.I even ordered a caesar salad ? here and the homemade croutons were amazing!If it isn't super crowded you can take a seat at one of the table and relax. I appreciate the fact that you don't have to commit to a full pizza here to indulge because slices are available from Wednesday starting at 12pm till 4pm through Sunday.This is seriously the best NYC style gourmet pizza I've had in Chicago and there's a wonderful rewards program too.The staff is very friendly and this is a great place to grab a slice to take home with you or take a mini break inside when you crave a pizza ? pick me up.“
“You know the kind of spot you pray you stumble into on that beautiful sunny day when you're feeling spontaneous, out on a walk and hungry, only to be completely blown away by the food and service and need to tell all your friends about it? That's Sfera.I've been a chef for many years and the food quality and consistency here is unmatched. They are not only talented Chefs & Cooks, but they clearly understand how to operate a business because it is consistently executed.My fiance (vegetarian) and I now frequent this spot. It is our feel-good neighborhood drop-in. Coffee is great, people are friendly, food is awesome.I hope to see an elevated full service concept in their future. They clearly have the chops.“
“I absolutely loved visiting! Pizza was amazing and the hospitality was unmatched! We tried slices of so many different varieties and couldn’t decide on our favorite! The salad and asparagus were so refreshing and brought the perfect balance to our meal. I can’t wait to come back!! If you are anywhere near Evanston you need to stop by, and if not you need to add this to your travel list!“
“A solid pizza that's worth adding to your rotation. We got a deep dish pepperoni for takeout, so I can't speak to the interior. But the sauce and pepperoni were fantastic. Basically the same thing as Pequod's. The big difference is the crust. While Pequod's crust is very airy and crunchy, Burt's crust has less rise. I really liked it, but it was probably thicker than it needed to be. It loses one star because the carmelized crust was straight-up burnt. I love Pequod's outer ring of crispy cheese, Burt's edges were charred to tastelessness. I was bummed about that. Still, Burt's was a tasty treat. It's great to have another standout option in the Chicago area pizza pantheon!“
“When I visited Zimis pizza and grill, i was just trying a new lunch spot and i ordered the grandmas pizza and i also tried the traditional qevapis. Very good pizza, and also the qebapis were to die for. the service was great. the enviroment was very classy, and upscale. i would definitely reccomend zimis to any one looking for good food.“
“Jimmy's used to be kind of a hole in the wall but has now upgraded to their location on Montrose. It serves DELISH true NY style pizza. As a New England native in Chicago, Jimmy's is the only reliable NY slice around. You won't be disappointed. That being said, its better to get a whole pie than a reheated slice for that perfect experience. Garlic knots are so tasty and their fresh marinara is the perfect addition- tell your spouse to beware of your garlic breath! Salads are great also! Wait times for a pie on weekends/nights is a little tricky but worth it! Dining in is great- lots of high tops and booths for all preference. I met Jimmy once and if I remember correctly, he IS from NY... so its definitely original!“
“I will do my best to properly articulate what a spectacular time we had at Pizzeria Munno!My wife and I had wanted to come here for a while and finally found a time on Valentine's Day.Our server and wait staff were so kind and personable and could not have asked more from them.We ordered an appetizer of Bufala and Prosciutto, which was light and delicious.For the main course, we couldn't pass on the pizzas and ordered (forgive me, I forget the names), but the pepperoni pizza with drizzled Italian honey and then the artichoke pizza. They both were both so different, but incredible in their own ways.Lastly, we ordered dessert, to which they had a special pistachio Bundt cake slice drizzled with olive oil.I would highly recommend this restaurant and am regretful it took us so long to patronize. I can't wait to return and eat more scrumptious food!“
“We finally had an opportunity to enjoy eating here while vacationing. Surprisingly, there's only 2 locations only. We traveled an hour to eat here and we didn't regret it. The food quality is still very good and the service was good too. Hopefully there are plans to open more locations. The buffalo chicken calzone is tasty, the potatoes are superb, and pizza is very good. I highly recommend eating here.“
“Just an incredible pizza, every single time. It’s just delicious. The owners and staff are really nice. The pizza has a vinaigrette glaze stuff over it, and with the crust being crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside, it’s got an old school Italian kind of taste that you just have to try. The first time I tried a slice, I ate it and thought, ‘that was different, delicious and different.’ Then I thought about how good it was for the next week. I went back for more and this is my go-to place now.“
“Fun atmosphere with lots of energy. Great place to watch sporting events. Their pizzas are what to order. The simple pepperoni Tavern style was really good. Great service, friendly staff and they don't mind if you stay for an entire basketball game.“
“The Wolfhound Pub offers a delightful experience with its exceptional food and cocktails, especially noteworthy are their espresso martinis and lemon drops which are truly outstanding. Brendan, Emily, and the entire staff create a warm and inviting atmosphere, making patrons feel right at home. Whether you're stopping by for a meal or drinks, expect nothing less than a consistently fantastic time at The Wolfhound.“
“These guys nailed the Indian-fusion food! Simple but excellent adaptations of classic favourites from Indian, Korean, American, Mexican, Italian cuisines (and then some!)We tried the vada pav (Indian burger with stuffed fried potato patty, spices etc) tacos samosa and chicken tikka were both delicious! Momos (potstickers), thin crust pizza, and samosa chaat (smashed samosas with chickpeas, chutneys, onions etc)Pleasantly surprised every dish done just perfectly with its own twist on the original. And lovely presentation.They have an ice cream station (not to be missed!)The place is casual, perky and fun… Absolutely try this place out.“
“Very good breakfast food that has a bit of an Italian twist. I have the croque madame and the Benedict pizza. We also got the all you can drink mimosas. There is a 2 hour limit to eat and drink. But you should not have any issues with the limit. Great interior with yummy drinks. I definitely recommend!!!!“
“I'd been wanting to try Bonci ever since I heard about it years ago, but never got a chance to visit their West Loop or Wicker Park spots.But this location is much closer to where I live, so I finally stopped in and tried small slices of the Fried Onion, the Margherita, and a Blueberry one.Really enjoyed all three (Margherita being my least favorite), and very much look forward to going back and trying more of their constantly changing offerings.“
“It was our first time, and I loved the classic atmosphere. I was intown for just a few hours and wanted pizza. I found Pat's from the 1 bite reviews. The thin crust did not disappoint. The draft beer list was nice, though they could have filled the glass a little. We also got a tiramisu it was delicious!“
“Best vpn pizza in the aria.. staff is on top of everything and service is great , fast quick and fresh then going there for years love it I just wish they would change up their money once in a while introduce new pizzas introduce new dishes but it’s 100% “

“We hosted my son’s communion party at Porretta’s last May and we were very satisfied with everything, so we decided to cater for my mother’s birthday party. We ordered a few days prior and John was able to accommodate us in spite of the short notice.We had it delivered on time and with care. All the food was delicious but our guests especially raved about the Rigatoni Vodka and the mini meatballs.I am already planning our next celebration and will be using Porrettas catering once again!“
“Creative, high quality dishes. A bit pricey, though it lives up to the cost.The steak tartare was very flavorful. Its was quite dressed for a tartare, i.e. not meat-forward. The duck was fantastic, as was the saffron prawn gnocchi. Like the flavors or not, none of the dishes were boring, ingredients were great, and the execution was beyond question.The blood and sand was perhaps the best balanced smoky scotch cocktail I’ve had. Partner’s bohemian was also very good.“
“My family member treated us to a dinner here. It was a Friday evening; it was crowded. He made reservations so we walked right in to our table. As we waited on our deep dish pizza, we ordered the sampler, calamari, traditional wings, regular fries, and garlic parm fries. I could not stop eating the garlic fries. By the time the pizza came, I was full but I managed to eat a slice. It was cheesy and good. I am currently missing this style of pizza. I will be back the next time that I visit here.“
“So good! Served up food for 5 people to go in about 20 minutes and every person was super happy with their food! Our favorite place in the neighborhood. Update: still the best place in the neighborhood. Update 2: still our fave, Burger of the week this week (2/8/24) was SO GOOD!“
“We have been going to Michael’s over 15 years and it has a great atmosphere and great service . One of greatest Ruben , Serafín , Bryan and rest of staff including owner Nick. When we go it feels like family . We are very appreciative of how throughout the years nothing has changed we love Michael’s and really recommend it .“
“I ordered through Postmates recently, and the food is amazing, so I decided to come in today! The decor is so lovely and the service is great as well. I'm so glad I got to dine in. Their outside patio is cute, and they have lots of seating available inside/ out. It was pretty busy. I can't wait to come back and enjoy. New favorite place! Their vegetarian and vegan options are amazing.Vegetarian options: They can sub egg with vegan egg, they also have beyond sausage, non diary alternatives and more!“
“This pizza pie is so very delicious. Imagine good dough rolled out thin topped by tangy sauce and thin coating of cheese with flavorful Italian sausage in hand formed balls. I haven’t been excited by a pizzeria near me for quite some time. Did I mention chewy crust. I also tried their deep fried cauliflower with garlic Ali oil. Golden crisp heads of cauliflower served with your choice of sauce. My next adventure I will try the Cesar salad and another flavor of pizza ... can’t wait. Love me some Logan Square pizza..“
“I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala pizza, and oh. my. goodness. It was love at first bite! The crust was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and juicy. And the cheese? Melted to perfection! ?And let's not forget the prices! So affordable and worth every penny. I'll definitely be back for more. ?In short, Halal Pizza Point is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious, authentic halal pizza. Don't miss out! ? 5/5 stars ?"“
“(Northbrook Location) Extremely easy to place my order. The employee (Tony) I believe.. Who had taken my order 1/17/2024, was polite and detailed throughout the order process.. And when I arrived he continued to be Very Professional, Helpful & Welcoming to a new customer, “which he did not know I was”. This was our second time ordering, and were completely satisfied and everything came as ordered.. First time was a younger woman who took the order and she was friendly and easy to deal with as well.. I don’t recall her name (Sorry) or date I ordered. But it was about a week prior to my second order. Also shout out to the cooks and other employees who made this meal happen. A++ All Around.. so we thank you all. Including management who hired some great employees… We will definitely be ordering much more often.. Thanks Again to the Authority!! 5 Stars All Around..Steve @ Hawthorne Global“
“One of the most underrated pizza spots in the city! You can always get a table, excellent service and amazing pizza! Tons of gluten free options in addition to pizza including cheesy garlic bread! The house wine is always inexpensive and delicious!“
“A fantastic place to have deep dish pizza in Chicago! A friend recommended this as we are from out of country. Would definitely come back again for their deep dish pizza stuffed crust. Their pizza crust is the best thing another the pizza (I personally don’t eat crusts on pizza, but here, it’s my favourite part). We also had a side of parmesan garlic fries and a Caesar salad which were a fantastic addition. Thanks Dimitri for the fantastic service!“
“Our Veal Marsala was great. We both had the same thing. The portions were so large that we had a lot to take home, and we have enough for another dinner. We were celebrating my wife's Birthday and they provided a delicious Italian Lemon cake, ice cream with chocolate sauce. Most of all our server, Maria, was excellent. Her Birthday is today, the day after my wife's birthday. We will be back very soon!“
“The food is authentic Italian and is delicious, especially the Rigatoni Con Sugo Di Carne!You can dine in to enjoy pleasant atmosphere and friendly, attentive service.It's in the center of a strip building between other restaurants that look alike so it's kind of hard to notice. In fact, I was told about the place and I live six blocks from it and drive by it almost every day.I have not tried the pizza since the Rigatoni is so good. If you like genuine Italian food, try it. You will return!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs look like they can roll right in. It's all ground level.“
“Max & Issy’s is a super cute date spot with great pizza. The inside is gorgeous and the food is incredible. They have a few unique pizzas, such as the Queen of Hearts, which is basically if spinach artichoke dip was a pizza. I had the hot honey pepper pizza and honestly whoever decided honey goes on pizza deserves an award. The pizzas only come in one size, which is 16” aka large, so you’ll probably want to share. Since my girlfriend and I have different taste palates (mine being good and hers being less good), we ordered two pizzas and now we have lots of leftovers. Highly recommend stopping by for date night or just a great pizza with friends.“
“Excellent pizza, fabulous salads, decandent chocolate lava brownies. All expertly prepared with fresh ingredients. What's not to love? This from a person who came from a family that had make your own pizza night every Friday. Love the Venus pizza and the Victor salad. The sriracha ranch dipping sauce is awesome as well. This place is a fabulous asset in the community.“
“Good spot... walking in.. it's really busy with a small bar and many tables surrounding/ exposed brick walls. Nice wine list with some good Italian bottles. Good menu with half a dozen apps, homemade pasta dishes & entrees! They also had an excellent *Specials Menu* she said. Started with a couple of glasses of Barbera and some baked clams with the bread of course. Great wine & clams were on the smaller side with an excellent sauce! They are known for their homemade pasta and I decided to try the special. This was a Jalapeño Gnocchi in a Vodka Cream sauce with Corn, etc... it was excellent, cooked perfectly! For dessert we had the Molten Chocolate Cake which was also very good & great ice cream. Waitress was very good & prices are a bit above average but worth it/ you can taste the quality ingredients for sure! Close it out with some Limoncello Shots// talk later“
“We saw that Chicago's Pizza offered a Mickey Mouse for children that they could build themselves and decided to take our children so they could have the experience. For our ourselves, we got a deep dish pizza, thin crust pizza, and fried cauliflower. We were all pleasantly surprised by the quality of our food, which was very tasty (and we had gone only for the kids' pizza).They're focaccia was superb. Unfortunately, the restaurant sent us Mickey Mouse pizzas that were already made (not made by our kids). Other parents will understand how your dinner experience is affected when you've promised a 5-year-old something all day and then that thing doesn't come to fruition-it ruins your dinner. The staff were nice and accommodating, and they did what they could to help, including bringing out dough balls to make it seem to our kids like they were making the actual pizza. In the end, it worked. However, the dinner was a lot more tense than it should have been feel (and contentious amongst the parents). This is a situation that should've been handled by management. If the place is going to cater to children, there are the sort of things that it must stay on top off. Most parents can overlook a flawed pizza, but not a child crying over dinner.“
“Chi Burger Babi ❤️?You absolutely need to try this restaurant !!!This place just went above and beyond my expectations. I had the Grilled Chicken Paillard Sammich and let me tell you!!!!!!!!……. It was SUPER TASTY ? Everything in the menu looks delicious ?“
“Last Friday my wife and I dropped into Joes for the first time and we weren’t disappointed! We were greeted by friendly staff and live music! David was our server and he was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had great food recommendations! My wife and I tried a few appetizers and the pizza. Everything we ate was delicious! This place is a 10/10 and we will definitely be going back!“
“This place has great deep dish pizza!! We were up at O'Hare and wanted to get a good local pizza and we hit the jackpot pot! The marinara sauce was superb and the Italian sausage was so flavorful! The service was great! Very attentive and polite! This is a traditional "local hole in the wall" gem!! So glad we went! Highly recommend!!“
“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“
“I love Pequod's so when I heard we had a place on the North Shore that was similar I was definitely intrigued. But also definitely skeptical. It's a small joint with zero atmosphere so it didn't look promising. But man oh man, the crust does not lie. Another reviewer called out the sausage and I have to agree. That might have been the best sausage deep dish that I've ever had. I almost wish my stomach were bigger so that I could have had a third slice. I can't wait for summer so I can truly enjoy a pizza on the sidewalk, something you could never do at Pequod's.“
