    "Stuffed" pizza
    Claudia L.

    I called for delivery for a STUFFED pizza and the guy on the phone said "We dont make stuffed pizzas"(its in their menu) Then delivery got here 2 hrs later and driver said "were at the corner. your address doesnt exist can you walk to the corner" I waved him down n made him come to my home. Driver dropped the cc machine and they had to call the restaurant to get my card to go through. I open the pizza n the pizza was cold and cheese was shifted over. I called the restaurant n the same guy who took my order wanted me to place a NEW order instead of passing the manager the phone. I tell him why i needed to speak to the manager and he translates. I tell him I speak Spanish and want to speak to him directly and not have a translator. Manager was like ill give you a discount NEXT TIME I said no I want a refund. They said the option was theyll send a new pizza or they come get our current pizza for refund. Ive ordered many times before and understand if its busy but TWO hours for delivery is unacceptable. Also, this is NOT a stuffed pizza. Not even close

    Carne asada taco

    Pretty authentic tacos rice and beans, friendly staff, really fast service, great hours, perfect for after perfect for after Riot Fest My friend and I went to Damenzo's after Riot Fest, as it was one of the only food places near Douglass Park that open late and wasn't a fast-food chain. I wasn't really in the mood for pizza, but thankfully Damenzo's is much more than a pizza restaurant! As we walked inside, we noticed they had a full menu of classic taqueria menu items. Burritos, rolled tacos, tacos, etc. It was so awesome to see that people craving either pizza or Mexican food could be satisfied! I went with the classic 3 tacos with rice and beans. The folks who took my order behind the counter were clearly very busy, but also polite and eager to help. After ordering, the food arrived promptly. These tacos gave me a vibe of basic/essentials, done well for a restaurant that has 'pizza' in the name. There was nothing groundbreaking, but it was just a perfect meal after a long day. The salsas were definitely on the spicier side, which I really appreciated! The rice wasn't as soft as homemade rice, but still had a really nice flavor. Overall, I would recommend place is great for late-night munchies if you're in the area!

    Italian Beef, with mozzarella cheese, hot peppers, extra dipped.
    cecilia p.

    I absolutely love this place... I subtracted a star, the Italian beef this specific evening (1-21-22) was a lil extra salty.. The beer helped wash it down a bit. Other than that, I love the variety of food options, the cooks are amazing! And the girls at the front are nice. I highly recommend, having whatever you order with a beer!!

It was mid-afternoon when we visited and I'd gone online to make a reservation prior to our visit, but that wasn't really necessary. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and shown to a booth in the back room...far away from the cold draft of the front door. Our server came over to take our drink orders right away and we ordered a Caesar salad to share. I found it odd that their Caesar comes with tomatoes, but it must be a Chicago thing because I saw that on the menu of another pizzeria that we visited while in town. The salad was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of it. We also ordered a small pepperoni pie (deep dish) and were surprised at just how small it was. It was almost like a personal size...but let me tell you, the personal size is tiny! One slice of the small pie nearly took up the space of the entire personal sized pie that we took home with us. While in-store, I signed up for their rewards program and got a coupon for a free personal sized pie, with some stipulations. It was to-go only and you had to spend at least $10, but our dine-in order could not count towards that total. It had to be processed as a separate transaction. That was no problem for us since we were headed back to our hotel and had a full kitchen there, we decided to order wings along with our free baby-sized pie to-go. The wings were phenomenal. Top tier. A+. Highly recommend! I actually preferred the sausage pie that we took home over the pepperoni pie, and that's not usually my vibe. I think something about the grease in the sausage lends itself to the moisture of the pie. The pepperoni pie was a little dry. Overall, we loved the atmosphere and the service, so we would definitely come back again in the future.

The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me. It had too much wine flavor and the breadcrumbs got soggy fast. 4/10. Overall, come here for the pizza only. That's what makes this spot worth fighting for reservations.

The second you walk in, the entire atmosphere just feels cozy, lively, welcoming, and honestly impossible to leave Between the views, the music, the energy, the smell of pizza coming out of the oven nonstop... it's genuinely one of our favorite spots in the city. We started with cocktails that were SO refreshing and perfectly made, then got surprised with burrata on the house which was such a sweet touch and absolutely incredible. Creamy, fresh, flavorful -- the kind of appetizer you immediately wish was twice the size because it disappears way too fast And then THE PIZZA. Their char pizza is seriously one of those pizzas you think about days later. Perfectly blistered crust, crispy edges, cheesy, saucy, with those little pepperoni cups that get crispy on top Every bite somehow tastes even better than the last and the crust alone deserves its own appreciation post honestly. As if we weren't already completely obsessed with the experience, they ALSO brought out flan on the house for dessert and WOW. Smooth, creamy, rich, perfectly balanced sweetness with the whipped cream and caramel... literally the perfect ending to such an amazing dinner. But honestly what keeps making us fall in love with Robert's over and over again isn't just the food -- it's the entire experience. The service is ALWAYS incredible, everyone is so welcoming and attentive, and the ambiance is truly unmatched.

Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor.
