    Sicilian Style Cheese Pizza with Pepperoni and Veggies
    Japhe J.

    I recently serviced this location and I appreciate how fast the service was! I also wanna say the staff were very friendly and made the ambiance pretty decent! I attached some pics of the food as I had a Sicilian style pizza and it was pretty good!! I will definitely service this location again!

    This neighborhood Italian restaurant is very casual - the dining room and the bar area are the same. I passed on the food / salad bar because I think it's a little too soon after COVID to share food with strangers. I ordered a fresh pizza from the menu and it was the right choice. The "Around the World" pizza featured edge-to-edge toppings of sausage, mushroom, onions, green peppers on a crispy thin crust.

    If I could give them no stars, I would have. I came home to experience why I missed living in Cleveland, and this ain't it!!! My pizza was sliding and runny. We each took a piece and regretted it. Also the pasta is cold, hard, rubbery and filled with dried rolled up ricotta cheese. With dried up parsley and Italian seasonings. The sauce had a bad smell of tanginess and too old. NEVER AGAI!! This place sucks NO STARS!! Don't waste your money. $50 gone. Just like that.

    Burnt pizza

    I didn't want to give them a one star. I order from here all the time and today I was having a Christmas party for my daycare children and when I opened the pizza it was burnt. I called the manager (Joey) and he said that all he could do was make me another pizza but I explained to him I have children sitting here hungry which would mean I would have to make them wait another 30minutes to an hour. I didn't have a problem with him making another one but the fact that u wanted the other pizza back was ridiculous...I ended up having to give my kids the pizza because it was their lunch time and they were hungry but I won't be patronizing this business anymore...will just have to drive further for pizza!!!

    The sauce is so thin and the sausage is very scarce

    This is a sad day in Chicago (well Beverly), I don't like this place and would never pick it BUT the hubs will eat anything that's not from his hometown and like it. Not this time tho, the few other times for some reason he liked it. I asked him why? He said "it doesn't give me heartburn." Ummmmm there's not enough sauce on it to give him heartburn that's why. But today he's pissed, and I'm finally glad he's seeing what I've always known about this trash pizza. Thank goodness I don't have to endure this as a meal again in life!!! The sauce to toppings and bread ratio is way off. It looks and taste like they ladled one spoonful of sauce on the dough and tossed a handful of meat on that. Today isn't a "off day" I've had the same issue with this place each and every time. As you look at rye pics the beige on the pizza is indeed dough you're able to see thru the sauce and go on and count the sausage. There's no hidden sausage, what you see is a what you get. Before any assumptions are made NO it didn't slide during the drive home. The other Yelpers love to Yelp about the fresh ingredients, I guess they have a point there because the sauce doesn't taste spoiled (although I can't say I've ever experienced that). The fries are always soggy and I asked the order taker if that was going to be an issue today of course she said it wouldn't but it WAS! I'm just ecstatic that today is the last time. I'd take Giordano's on Western or even Begger's on Stony over this mess any day.

Went and had some ice cream from Ghirardelli until it was our turn to deep dive into some deep dish pizza.

The place is set up nice, underground pizza parlor style. The Cubs/Dodgers game was happening at the same time. Got to watch some of that while we were at it. I will definitely be back!

While I am not a native, I have been a frequent visitor over 20 years and always brag on Lou's as the best of the big boys and as good as several of the lesser known neighborhood spots. Sadly, my last two in person visits have more closely resembled the frozen product they ship from their website. The most recent visit last week included 11 other family members who were "first timers" that had trusted my recommendation for the good stuff only to be disappointed by both the temperature and small amount of both cheese/sauce. We shared several large, medium and personal pies across the menu and I honestly can't say a single one measured up to the standard they have set for decades. The always delicious butter crust saved this from being a one star review, but my next visit to Chitown may not include another visit to any of the way too many locations.

It's still pretty basic with simple meat sauce and cheese, but I actually appreciated the simplicity--it was different without trying too hard. The highlight was definitely the BREAD for a starter! Super thin, perfectly seasoned, and so delicious. It also held up really well as leftovers later that evening. A fun little spot for a casual date night!

The wood‑paneled coziness,…read morethe dim lighting, the slightly chaotic entryway where a host with a clipboard controls the fate of your evening... it all sets the tone for a meal that's equal parts ritual and indulgence. They push the Mediterranean Bread, and honestly, you should let them. It's enormous, blistered, fragrant, and arrives like a hot air balloon made of carbs. More importantly, it gives you something genuinely delicious to tear into while you wait for the pizza pot pies to emerge from whatever subterranean chamber they're baked in. It's both a starter and a survival tool. A reservation is non‑negotiable unless you enjoy contemplating your own mortality in a weekend crowd. The wait times can stretch so long you could starve to death before your name is called -- and the regulars will nod knowingly as they step around your skeleton. Plan ahead. The salads are comically oversized, the kind of portions that make you wonder if they're meant for a family of four or a single very determined marathon runner. But let's be honest: no one is here for lettuce. We're all here for the pizza pot pie, that molten, bread‑wrapped, cheese‑laden dome of joy that defies every attempt at categorization. It's not deep dish, it's not thin crust -- it's its own thing entirely, and that's the point. This is the place you bring out‑of‑town guests when you want to show them something uniquely Chicago without defaulting to the usual deep‑dish suspects. But it's also the place you come back to on your own, because once you've had that pizza pot pie, it lives rent‑free in your brain until you return.

He recommended some great items on the menu, checked in at just the right times without ever hovering, and somehow managed to get our food out incredibly quickly.

It deserves a 5-star review on its own. We're not sure if it's included with the service, but it definitely made everything taste better! A huge thank you to Adam for making our visit so memorable. Great food, even better service, and we'll definitely be back. If you're lucky enough to have Adam as your server, you're in for a fantastic meal and a few laughs too!

When I walked by, it was very crowded, loud, and busy with a line going down the street. I decided to place my order online instead, but here's something you definitely need to know: ordering online does NOT mean your deep-dish pizza will be ready quickly.Mine took about an hour and 15 minutes which I was told is pretty normal because deep-dish takes a while to make. I had my little stool with me, so I sat outside, took some pictures, and did some people-watching while I waited. There is some street parking, but there's a large building across the street that looks like apartments or possibly a hotel, so parking wasn't the easiest. They have a little To Go area where you can grab drinks and other items. I also bought a couple of their frozen deep-dish pizzas to take home and I'm glad I did! I baked one at 350° for about 40 minutes and it came out gooey, gooey, CHEEZY Iwould've liked a little more meat on it, but it was still good. They ship also. I also ordered a small/personal deep-dish pizza while I was there. By the time I ate it, it wasn't as warm as I would've liked, and I'm one of those people who does NOT like cold pizzaI know some people love it, but that's not me! So if you're like me, I recommend eating yours as soon as you pick it up from the counter while it's still hot. I ordered a soda. Total about $75 If you plan to dine in, give yourself plenty of timeThis place is very popular and the line can get LONG. Overall, the pizza wasn't bad, and I would definitely go back and try something different next time. The frozen pizza I brought home and baked fresh was actually one of my favorite parts!

Vibes in there are super fun and chic, casual but still cute and a little bit old-school I had done my research on our order lol but was really impressed by everything. We started with mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, and meatballs, which were all generous portions and very tasty. The mozzarella sticks were very silky on the inside crunchy on the outside and came with a nice flavorful pomodoro dip. The meatballs had an Italian sausage/fennel flavor and were very tender, and the zucchini chips were the star of the apps!! Nice and crisp, they were cut into little super thin chips not like a traditional fried zucchini and the dipping sauce on that was also delicious and super fresh tasting Finally, we tried the spicy vodka tavern style pizza and added pepperoni to half. It was great both ways, super flavorful and the crust was perfectly crisp without being dry or overly crumbly. Pepperoni was a nice addition but not needed for sure. Would love to come back to try a pasta and dessert!
