1 Star - Service, service, service I placed an order for pizza (specifically asking for no fresh basil) and decided to sit inside while I waited. The person who took my order made the pizza, placed it in the warmer, and put the salad in the refrigerator--while I was still sitting there waiting. No one bothered to call my name or let me know my order was ready. Only when it was close to closing time did the staff finally ask, "Hey, what are you waiting for?" I told them I was waiting for my order, and they casually handed it over pizza that had been sitting in the warmer for 15+ minutes and a salad pulled from the crisper. When I finally got back to my hotel, I opened the box to find basil all over the pizza, even though I had specifically requested none. Their only solution was to remake it and wait another half an hour for it. No, I'm good. Completely unacceptable. Poor communication, inattentive service, and careless disregard for my order. I am irritated and disappointed. read more

Bob’s Pizza - Basil on a pizza that I asked no basil - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Happened upon this restaurant after several failed attempts to eat in the area. One restaurant was too hot. Another restaurant had a 45 minute to an hour wait, with no drinks. Therefore we left that establishment and ventured over to Harper Street. Easy seating at Bob's. Our drinks and water came to the table fast which was good because it was a very hot day. Every day they have slices from 11am to 4pm. This worked out great since our party could not decide on a pizza. I really wanted to try the Chicken Sausage pizza. For pizza I got the pepperoni slice and my friends got beer battered cheese curds and the fried pickles. Both appetizers were great. Really appreciated the thinly sliced pickles. The waitress was very nice and the Manger was too. Learned that the pizza dough is made with beer versus water. All in all a good experience. I would suggest eating here if in the area and I plan on checking out their other Chicago-land location. read more

For several years, Bob's has been my son's favorite restaurant in the world, but there have been a couple of big changes to the menu and the setup here that warrant a re-review. One big change is that the deep fryer is gone. That means french fries and fried cheese curds are no longer on the menu. That's good news for me and my lack of willpower, but hurts Bob's otherwise celestial status among the children in my household, who were blown away by the idea of being able to get french fries and pizza at the same restaurant. On the other hand, a nicer Italian salad, and maybe even some soups, have joined the menu, giving the adults some slightly better non-pizza alternatives. You still can't get, say, a grilled chicken breast on top of that salad, but hope springs eternal. The other big change is that most of the table service is gone. Now you order at the counter, get your own water, silverware, and plates from a self-serve station, and wait for them to bring your food to the table. This is a HUGE improvement, because the speed and attention of the previous table service was pretty bad. I'm very excited to be able to get a glass of water and a table knife whenever I want. My son remains a big fan of the pizza (so long as it is ordered with no seasonings). read more

I've tried a ton of pizza places in Chicago and the suburbs and this place is the best. I don't know what they do to season their pizza, but their cheese has more flavor than any cheese I've ever had. There is a zing to it... a zesty-ness I can't get enough of. I am truly obsessed. I placed this order for the UChicago Fossil Lab today (usually we get Giordano's but it was closed for some reason, so someone in the group recommended Bob's), and we are planning to order from Bob's for now on! I ordered over the phone, and the guy who took my order (I think his name is Zach) was super sweet and gave great advice on the number of pizzas and how it's sliced etc. I picked the pizza up, and met the person who took my order, and he had excellent customer service. I don't know what your name is sir, but that you for being so kind. Inside there are tables and booths and a bar. Outside, the road to drive up to the restaurant was blocked, so I parked down the street. I'm not sure if there is dedicated parking, but I will find out next time. And, although my order wasn't at the right time for it, they have happy hour M-F from 16:00-17:00 where you order one pizza get the second free. You can't beat that! If you haven't been here, make sure you give it a try! read more

I tried to contact a corporate or main office for Bob's with no luck. There is no such thing on the website. So instead I share the following with possible customers of the Bob's in Hyde Park: Hello, I would like someone to contact me about my experience this afternoon in the Hyde Park store with the manager, Tyrisa T. Please see photo below of my lukewarm mushroom pizza, taken out, with few actual mushrooms. The service over the phone was questionable, as was the service in the store when I pointed out that if this were a pepperoni pizza that no one would actually take it (she offered not to make the pizza again but to refund my money because she stated that she'd had nothing but problems from me since taking my order???) I've had and enjoyed this pizza in the past. It definitely had more mushrooms on it. This was definitely my last visit/purchase at Bob's. Not worth the effort or money. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Let me start by saying that the service there is cold probably because the server is cold because the restaurant is literally cold. There is no heat. The atmosphere looks good, but feels eerie. The staff has literally zero personality zero knowledge of what's going on and does zero work and they have the nerve to have the restaurant set up where you give a tip first then you realize that you have to get your own water your own silverware it's like you almost have to get up and serve yourself your own food. Then speaking of the food not very good to my liking pizza sauce is very watered down. They claimed to serve only one size pizza, but we dined in during the buy one get one free. I ordered one mushroom pizza and one pepperoni pizza, and my pepperoni pizza was so much larger than my mushroom pizza. I'm like if this is 16 inches then this has to be like 14 so why are you charging me the same price and when you say something to them about this it's like it's nothing oh well. How on earth do you offer one size pizza and you can't even get the size right? read more

We had a big event and wanted to provide dinner for our attendees. I called Bob's Pizza with questions and spoke to Mark who was incredibly helpful as I navigated many things such as how many pizzas to order and how to address multiple dietary needs/restrictions. Mark answered questions and really made the process to place the order as easy as possible. Very friendly, great service, and the pizzas were delicious. Our dinner was a huge success! Thanks, Mark! read more

My friend and I decided to give Bobs pizza a try. I will say the owner was super friendly! I will say the service was slow but, that was due to the event that happened during the day and he was short staffed. I will say the cheese curds were one of the best I have had! And the wild mushroom pizza was legit one of the best I have had! read more

Great location. Great food. Great drinks. Great service! I finally had the chance to dine at Bobs pizza and it was excellent. So far, I've tried the pepperoni pizza and the mushroom pizza and both were delicious. I tried the lavender fizz since I enjoy vodka, it sounded like a great choice. It's made with lavender syrup,lemon juice, soda water and fresh basil. It's so pretty and refreshing! The restaurant is decorated so nicely and the staff ja very friendly. You can get a slice of pizza from 11am to 4 pm daily. They offer happy hour Monday through Thursday from 4-5 pm where if you buy one pizza you get one free. What an awesome deal!!! Check out Bobs pizza in Hyde Park for some amazing food and drinks! read more

I absolutely love the pizza. But the ambiance has downgraded significantly over the last 6 months or so, and the service was inexplicably slow. It seems the pizza is just heated up at this location, no real cooking occurring. It's just OK now but it was better once. read more

I stopped by on a food tour around 2 PM and it was pretty empty and quiet at first. I tried the wild mushroom pizza. I gotta admit, I usually don't like mushrooms but this pizza was delicious. The balsamic added a sweet twist to a savory bite. Mark, the owner, was also super sweet! We chatted with him a bit about the ingredients he used and he was happy to answer any questions we had. read more

[FOOD] I've been getting their 6 dollar pepperoni slices and it's a good quick bite. Their pizzas slices are thin, crispy, and big too. The pepperoni is also nice and crispy mmMMmm.

This is his rth spot that just opened in February 2023 Bob's is famous for his pizza dough that has beer in it, with an amazing malt taste.

NO FUN!!!! Bob's is now self-serve, which means we had to place our order with the cashier who was rude and would not volunteer any of the details concerning the changes. The woman behind the bar (with no drinks) had to explain everything. We were all frustrate. We later had to get up and place a beverage order because of the cashier failed to ask us if we had a beverage order. The pizza was okay. But we did get the onions we added. I usually bring out of town guests to Bob's Because of the lively vibe and great food. This time we were all disappointed. I prefer not to quote my guests "@&$/@&$@&" read more

We were very pleased with our pizza. Our server Ishmael went above and beyond to welcome and serve us.

Ahh! This used to be Native Foods, remember that? This is the fourth location. I have only been to the Evanston location. This location is a full-size restaurant. The Pilsen location is only dine-in, carryout, delivery and BYOB. The Old Town location is only carryout and delivery. The staff and service is fantastic. PS. Soft opening 'til further notice & liquor license TBA any day. read more

3/16/2023--Just ok is the only thing I can come up with. I tried the chicken sausage pizza. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the meat. The price point was questionable, given the aforementioned, and there's only one topping. Our server was really nice, which was honestly the best part. They appeared to be short staffed given the fact the tables weren't clean. The grace in me wants to say I'd try this place again, but given the plethora of dining options in this area, I can't say that I would. There's metered parking and a parking lot nearby. The hours listed on Yelp (listed as closed) were different than those on Google. We called first to be sure they were open. read more

Love this place. Bobs pizza is pretty new to hyde park, and is located in Harper court. The pizza here is delicious- my personal favorite is the chicken sausage pizza, which comes with a drizzle of honey on it, a unique topping that hits the spot. The cheese curds here are the best I've ever had- and that's not an overstatement; have to try it! It's the perfect mix of lightly sweet and savory, perfectly crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. Great happy hour deals here as well! read more

Hope they can get better and menu. read more

It is very hard for a Hyde Park restaurant to get five stars. My friend calls it the "Hyde Park Effect". Something is always missing, be it the food, service, or consistency. I will say we went on a Thursday at about 1:30. No students around. The pizza was AMAZING. It was more like Neapolitan. We tried slices, which are available until 5pm, then wished we had split a pie so that we could have leftovers. The fried pickle chips were to die for. They are like chips, thinly sliced served with ranch. The fries were delicious, my peach mule was exemplary. They have a buy one get one free for whole pies from 4-5 M - Th for happy hour. I will return. read more

The people were nice, the place was empty except for my friend and I who ate our slices in the restaurant. We paid, chose our seats and the slices were brought out to us. Here's my issue, the pizza slices were the greasy ones I think I've ever had. There was literally a layer of grease on top of the cheese pizza slices. I used so many of the paper towels to dab grease off. My friend initially picked up her slice and the grease poured down she had to sit it back down because it was dripping all over her hands and the table. After sopping up and pressing grease out it was a fairly ok taste, nothing special. The globs of grease was a turn off for me though. She also got a slice of pickle pizza which she didn't eat there but we looked at it, it was a bit greasy but not as much as the slices we ate in. I probably couldn't bring myself to get it again even though I wanted to go back and order a whole pickle pizza with no meat. I'll pass. read more

I must say the name is simple, so I wasn't expecting much. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was really good, our waiter Mario was outstanding. He gave us a very thorough explanation of the menu. The different pizzas and drinks on the menu were clearly explained, and he gave his honest option. It was a nice relaxing vibe as well! We're definitely going back for a few more slices. read more

Should have known at 7:30 on a Thursday with no one in the place that it wasn't any good. No kids menu, can't by pizza by the slice. So we got a large cheese pizza bc that's all my kids would eat. No breadsticks either. Would rather have Digiorno from the grocery store. Fountain cokes were terrible as well. Expensive beers. Won't be back. read more

I was visiting in Hyde Park and went to Bob's Pizza with a local who had never been there. We had the chicken sausage pizza. It came out fast, fresh and hot. It was delicious. The crust was perfect. The toppings were yummy. The chicken sausage really surprised me how tasty it was, the fire roasted tomatoes, two types of cheese, you couldn't go wrong with this one. This is a help yourself to drinks and table service place, but this is happening more and more with the economy. read more

i love bobs pizza! i'm from nj so my fav thing to do is get a plain slice for lunch w a side of ranch. it's really annoying to me that they only offer slices at lunch, anytime other than lunch you have to get a full pie, but i guess pizza culture here is different. i also wish they had flavors like bacon chicken ranch. my other fav thing about bobs is the fries, the fries are the best in hyde park in my opinion!! i will often come here and get takeout just for the fries. they use lots of seasoning and the portion size is huge. read more

Finally tried out Bob's Pizza and it was great! It reminded me of NY pizza but with a springer crust. We had the pepperoni pizza and pesto pizza. Both were great and we will have plenty of leftovers. We were glad we ate in - the service was excellent and the atmosphere was super fun for a Saturday night. While the pizza cooked we had fries - and played a quick game of cards at the table. Awesome time and looking forward to coming back on Thursdays when they have bogo pizzas. read more

They have one of the best happy hour deals in Chicago! Mon-Thu from 4:00pm-5:00pm, pizzas are buy 1 get 1 free! Their specialty pizzas are a steal at this price.

I definitely recommend picking up a pizza from here! read more

This review is based on comparing the other local pizza joints in the area. Beggars pan is very unique. Jets is also unique because it's a different type of pan pizza (Detroit style). Italian Fiesta in my opinion is real Chicago pizza, very thin sliced. All 3 sell slices, all 3 will give you a better bang for your money. Bobs prices compare to Giordano's and Medici but can't compare it's quality. The ambiance of Bobs is cool. They serve booze and are located in the "middle of it all" read more

Bob’s Pizza - Bobs Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

As a TRUE Chicagoan, Pizza Head, and Foodie (who's lived in other states and travels often), I am always excited to try new restaurants......especially when they're located in my neighborhood (Hyde Park). So as you can imagine, a NEW Pizza joint in Hyde Park.....I had to indulge. As you can see by my review rating, I was underwhelmed and highly disappointed. I ordered a chicken sausage pizza with black olives, jalapeños, and green peppers. Crust: This crust gave a bad name to NY Style. The most memorable thing about it was the meal that accumulated in the box. Sausage: the worst part of the pizza was the processed chicken sausage that looked more like cut up hot dogs. YUK! Sauce: The pizza sauce tasted like canned tomato sauce mixed with ketchup. Way too sweet and too much of it. The good thing is that I can say that I've tried it and don't ever have to try it again. There are TOO MANY great pizza spots in Hyde Park and throughout Chicago (Shout out to Lou Malnati's!) for me to eat at BOB's Pizza! read more
