Had Bob's pizza about 2 or 3 times and honestly thought the pizza was pretty decent and predictable. However, the last time I went I was left with severe food poisoning for days. I'm not sure what they put in their dough but it WILL leave you with having stomach aches for days on end. As for the food poisoning I'm sure it was from old cheese/toppings or contamination. It's just cheap crappy quality pizza. I never right reviews but had to give everyone thinking about this place a FAIR WARNING! read more

Yum but got it with the hot honey and you couldn't really taste it. Also the prosciutto is baked into the pizza so its crispy instead of fresh like I would've liked. read more

Bob's Pizza - prosciutto pizza - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

I've spent three years looking for something that resembles the pizza I grew up on in NYC. This place so hits the mark that it brings me to tears. Bless those perfect, foldable wedges dripping with orange oil (don't turn your nose up--it's the hallmark of a good slice.) Do you really need to add a order of truffled cheese curds when you're wolfing down a gut-busting pie? Yes. I wanted to hate the Korean pizza with chicken and kimchi. I figured they'd skimp on the funky kimchi flavor but it was definitely there, and I appreciate it. Finally, the pickle pie. Brilliant idea. The dill flavor was a great foil for the rich mortadella. No, I didn't order them all at once. I just can't stop going back. But that brings me to this: a takeout window with single slices would be a fantastic addition. read more

Bob's Pizza - Solid cheese pizza. Must be familiar with a NY slice to appreciate its greatness. - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Came in on a Sunday for my birthday dinner. The food was great all around as were the beers on tap. We tried the fries, wings, a smash burger and a pizza. Everything was spot on. Perfect dough/crust and the pizza sauce was also great. Service was great and the waitress was awesome. Very welcoming and attentive. read more

Came here for football Saturday. What a fun atmosphere. Pizza was beyond delicious, some of the best in the area. Drinks kept flowing, staff were friendly, attentive, and overall made the experience next level amazing. 110% will be coming back for any sporting event or fun group outing. read more

Ordered for the first time tonight- quick delivery and generous portions. We had an arugula and shaved Brussels sprout salad and a pepperoni pizza--Both were deelicious! read more

I really like this place. They have some of the best pizza crust EVER. Friendly servers, good location...keep up the good work! Check them out Tuesday nights at 8pm for pub trivia. That's why I started going there, but I really like the food... and although I miss the old Whiskey Thief, Bob's is a good addition to downtown Evanston. read more

Easy 5 stars here. The pizza is very unique, with the crust being the real stand out. When not eating (the one, true) Chicago Style deep dish, I like a really doughy crust. This had dough and air pockets for days, which means a double crunch as you bite into. We split the shaved brussle sprout salad, but we subbed the ceaser dressing for the dijon vinegarette because my wife is a vegetarian. That was nice, fresh, definitely enough to make a medium entree or split between two people with healthy portions. Then we moved onto the pizza. I got the Korean BBQ Chicken as I had never seen KB Pizza before. It was great! A bit on the greasy side, but you don't want your pizza to be too dry. Not greasy to where it acts as a detriment, but if you want to avoid that, it may be better to order the Margherita, which is what my wife got. She says it's very tasty, but could use a bit more cheese (but she says that about most things). The sauce was clearly their own recipe, not something out of a jar. Her crust also had giant bubbles! She says she would definitely come back for this pizza alone. We each ordered our own pizzas and ate two of the six slices a piece. Looks like we have pizza for lunch next week, no complaints there. We'll be back! I'm trying the pickle pizza next, that thing looks wild. read more

I appreciate that this restaurant is open late at night and offers delivery service. About the food: The smash burger was fine, but I didn't like the roasted wings at all because the sauce was really salty. read more

I always get take out pizza from here and it is so tasty! Packaged well and keeps well on the drive home, with decent portion size for a family of 3-4. Pizza is also always ready a little earlier than the estimated time which is a nice bonus. Worth every penny. read more

Pizza is great. Specialty pizzas are super thoughtful and are very well put together. Other amazing menu items +Baked wings +Cheese curds (with an amazing honey truffle drizzle) +Best fried pickles I've ever had. It isn't new york style like other people have said. It's like the chicago version of New Haven meets Neoplitan. Like a heartier Piece Pizza with better flavor, and a better overall product. Solid A grub. Wish I lived closer. read more

The closest thing to NY style pizza we've found in Evanston. Recommend ordering extra sauce on it though, we did that on our second order and it was perfect. *it's inside of a pub, walk straight to the back and you'll see the pick up counter. read more

Bob's Pizza - Nice thin, airy crust. - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Fun casual ambiance, the booths were quirky and private. Decent service. Food was amazing. We came for the pizza. I'd go back again for sure. read more

Great pizza, great ambiance and great customer service. They also have a great selection of beers. My only complaint, is that they do not have giardiniera peppers. My go to pizza toppings is sausage and giardiniera peppers. So I was little disappointed, but the sausage pizza was good enough read more

Ordered delivery for my family tonight, and we were all impressed by our first experience with Bob's! Played it safe and ordered the pepperoni and the mushrooms pizzas, and both were really tasty with a really crunchy crust. My food also arrived within 30 minutes if ordering, which is amazing! We definitely want to order it again and go for something more adventurous-- maybe the fried pickle pizza? read more

The manager was extremely aggressive and kept yelling that I was "trying to hack the system" when I explained that I had misunderstood their BOGO deal. I'm pretty sure he was purposefully towering over me, which was super uncomfortable. He then stormed away after saying his piece. Cashier dropped swear words the entire time. Pizza was average at best for price. read more

Fantastic every time we get pizza. We call in our pizzas for pick up and they offer the happy hour promo. Recommend the pepperoni but add jalapeños, the proccuito and arugula is great too but not too great to reheat... very large pies so you'll have plenty of left over. read more

"Pilsen Style Pizza"--the creation of the Bob's head chef, Matt Wilde, is crazy good. We had been wanting to go for a few weeks since we received a mailer encouraging us to visit this relatively new addition to the Evanston food scene and were at last able to stop in yesterday night. We ordered a Pickle Pizza and a Bob's Sausage Pizza. The sausage pizza was made with quality ingredients and a fluffy, flavorful dough. This was the first time that I had ever had pickled onions on a pizza and they added an extra zest to the pie, while retaining the crunch of a fresh onion--definitely an ingredient that I would love to see on more pizzas. We chose the pickle pizza because we were curious to see how this pizza could possibly be good. We were expecting it to be salty and overwhelmingly dill flavored. But we were very pleased to be proved wrong. The toppings are a refreshing combination of mortadella, garlic cream, and dill pickles--but it seems as though that the pickles are only lightly pickled (still retaining a fresh crunch), sliced very thinly (perhaps before they are pickled) and expertly seasoned with fresh dill. The pickle pizza would have to be our favorite of the two that we tried, although both were great. The only thing that I would change would be the way my beer was served--which arrived at my table with no head; which may be because I don't know how many people are ordering Old Style from the tap, but it was something that I was looking forward to, but became something that I was ultimately disappointed with. read more

Had the audacity to order a French liqueur and was met with bullying from the clientele at the bar, encouraged by the bartender. Not a safe place for women. read more

Bob's Pizza - Bobs Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

The ambiance was great! I had to walk through the tight aisle to get my pizza though. I had the Margherita pizza. Asked for extra cheese. I found the pizza lacking sauce and cheese. If I wasn't so hungry, I wouldn't have eaten more than one slice. I ordered extra cheese to share with my pup. I ended up giving the pup most of the cheese I could find. At the end, all I could think of is " Bob must have discount furniture AND pizza." read more

Came here for the first time and we ordered everything. Literally everything on the menu was a 10/10. Would def come back. read more

Had a couple slices of late night pizza here. Enjoyed the layout and the atmosphere of the restaurant.

I enjoyed their pizza - it was bigger than expected with a really hard bottom crust, which ended up being a pleasant surprise. However, I took out one star for the cold venue, unclean plates, and frequently being forgotten by our server. read more

*Drooling* I usually stick to my known pizza places, but I am so happy I gave Bob's a try! I had the Sausage, which was amazing. I can't wait to try the mushroom next! :-D read more

I had the cheese burger twice it was good. The cheese pizza is good but let them know not to sprinkle the oregano on the top. Makes the pizza tast unusual . The waiter with the blond hair is absolutely rude. I asked her for ranch sauce and she tossed it on our table. If you ask her to do anything else aside from putting your food on the table she sighs loudly as though your disrupting her. Made the whole experience terrible . read more

Great pickle pizza. Wings are good too. Highly recommend. Delivery is always very fast. Want to try to Korean pizza next.

Delicious pizza, sandwiches and salads in a fun and family-friendly atmosphere. The people who work here have always been very cool and helpful. They also have a huge bar with many screens if you're into drinking and sports. read more

This is the best pizza in Chicago. We don't like the deep dish style so we search for good thin crust. Cheese curds were delicious. I generally don't eat cheese curds but these were irresistible. Service was great in the Evanston location as well. read more

Food arrived stone cold after the delivery driver made two other deliveries with the pizza befor dropping it off. This is the 3rd time this has happened with this restaurant. read more

I've walked by this place a few times and decided to check it out. I rather enjoyed the casual atmosphere, service was quick and friendly, and food was delicious. I'll definitely be back. I wonder if many people know about this place because it doesn't pop up on my online restaurant searches. But if you do come across this place, definitely pop in! read more

Honestly pizza was overrated. Everyone kept taking a bout how good it was went at 10 for the slices that might've been the mistake. Got pepperoni it was okay taste wise nothing crazy. The server didn't really check on us he seemed out of it and he charged me wrong then proceeded to say he refunded me and needed to take my card again for the right amount. Weeks later i never got my money back from the first charge that was wrong. It's obviously really dark at night so it was just a dark ambiance. read more

Always a mismatch of quality and service. Yelp wants a longer review so I should tell you that there are lovely pizza places like union or napolita and many other alternatives. You know. Bread cheese sauce. read more

An excellent place. Had dinner here 2 nights in a row while staying at a local hotel. One 9f best burgers I have had in a long time. Great sausage pizza and meet balls were a hit as well. The fried pickles are addictive. This a place to stop at! read more

Excellent pizza. Sort of NY style but with a much better crust and less greasy. If you like pizza, you gotta try it.

Oh my, how excited I was in anticipation of a new pizza joint coming to town. Got this pizza delivered and was disappointed in its lack of flavor and the audacious move by them to top my pizza with onions. You're fired, now pack your things and get out. read more

One of the best pizza places me and my girl have tried since moving here. The variety of toppings and quality of the pizza itself makes this place a 8.5/10 for me. I definitely recommend you try here if you haven't already! read more

Not horrible, not great. Not worth the price. We asked for an 8:30 pick up time and you could tell they made the pizza well before as it was cold at pick up. read more

I'll start by saying this Bob's pizza in Evanston is 10 times better then the original in Pilsen from the service to the taste of the pizza! Bob's pizza is located Inside of the whiskey thief tavern. You tell them that your there for bob's at the front when you enter they don't have a seperate counter. Pizza was certainly made from high quality ingredients. Dough was amazing! The texture was on point with a nice bite cooked perfectly. The pizza itself tasted phenomenal...I ordered 1st half cheese and 2nd half dill pickles and ham. This was my first time eating a pickle pizza and l loved it. I'm happy I got half and half a hole pickle pizza would of been to much on the pallet...the cheese half helped cut some that rich dill pickle flavor or else it would have been overwhelming. The service was great. My wife and I were in a closed off booth with a candle light witch was pretty cool and romantic. 100% recommend! read more
