    One of the top spots for me to carryout pizza. This spot is always consistent with well priced pizza, crispy crust, and plenty of cheese. The best reason to come here is for the special pizzas which are like an entree on a pizza like the Mexican Style Pizza and BBQ Beef pizza. The order is always ready on time and the pickup process is fast and easy.

    Italian beef pizza

    Great place pizza is amazing - decent pricing and great wait staff! I like the pizza better eating in than dining out! Give it a try

    Husband has been talking about this place for years; the night before we head back home he decided to bust a mission into the city to get his favorite pizza. He ordered a large Italian beef pizza and added bacon. It is the best thin crust pizza I have ever had! The crust was tender and not cracker-like or dry. The beef was sliced thin and in piles dotted under the cheese. It exceeded my expectations! We were literally the last customers in the place and they didn't rush us out. The restaurant is homey and reminiscent of the pizza joints from the 80s. Overall, I am very happy to have gotten to try a real Chicago pizza made with Lake Michigan water. The difference really is in the water! Pros: - quality - friendly - ambience and decor - street and lot parking - even the tap water is delicious Cons: - none really

    Sausage thin crust

    I had to call in a pick up order since they don't do online orders. Can't be mad at that. Me like old school. I ordered a large sausage pizza. Everyone in my family loved the pizza from here. The crust was cooked perfectly, it had the perfect amount of cheese, the sauce tasted great and the sausage tasted amazing. A very perfect pizza and can't wait to come back.

    Bloody Mary

    Since it was just me, I decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was absolutely amazing! I mentioned I was staying at a hotel for the weekend, so not sure how I was gonna fit the pizza in the tiny hotel fridge and he packed up smaller boxes for whatever we don't eat at the hotel, foil, paper plates, napkins, Parmesan, oregano, red pepper flakes and even plastic ware! After the Bloody Mary, side salad and bread I ordered the pizza to go because I was too full to have any there. Tried it when I got back to the room and wow! Amazing! Will definitely be having more tonight and leftovers tomorrow. If you are looking for good pizza and service give them a try!

    The service and food were amazing. Especially the bar tender Jim. He was a very friendly and restaurant first type of guy. I highly highly recommend trying the place out. The pizza was incredible.

    Minestrone soup
    Joe B.

    A nice little hole-in-the-wall pizzeria -- very clean and cozy. The food was flavorful and the service was good overall. We did have a small issue with the check, as the server accidentally overcharged us, but it was handled politely. Prices seem fair and reasonable, just be sure to ask for a detailed receipt when you visit.

    Sausage, onion pepperoni, and half mushroom  It was amazing
    Scott R.

    This place was so good. I absolutely loved it. The old oven and the really cool front door made it really cool too. Definitely worth trying!

    Monday 01 Sept 2025, I was very surprised to find "Dino's Pizza" was open on this Labor Day holiday, but I'm glad it was open since I was dining all by myself and I was very hungry. I ordered the Veal Parmigiana dinner which came with soup and bread plus I also ordered a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza, the food was just spectacular. My server was Zoe, I told her that I was severely hearing impaired and she was very helpful in assisting me with my order. She stopped by my table several times to see if I needed anything, she was very efficient. Great food, great service -An absolutely great dining experience on this holiday. Five stars...

    Italian Salad

    First time, ordered carry out, pizza and salad, for our anniversary and we both said I think we found our new go to for pizza. Salad was just as great and fresh as the pizza too. My new favorite Italian salad.

    Is the thin crust a cracker crust (thin and crunchy)?

    Yes, very thin. It's good, but we really like their stuffed pizza lots!

If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation.

We had visited Florence last year, and one of the numerous wonderful moments of our trip to Italy was seeing "Il Porcellino" - the lucky bronze boar fountain that draws tourists from around the world. A copy of the boar stands proudly near the entrance of the restaurant, and though it is not as old as the original 1634 sculpture, it was a charming reminder of our amazing Italian holiday. Did I mention that the weekday Happy Hour (4-6PM) specials are quite good? The specials are served only at the bar area, so you might have to wait a few minutes for available seating. We started with some drinks, including two kinds of Negroni. The wild mushroom arancini (5 little balls for $6) were the smallest I've tried, but they were creamy and melt-in-your mouth delicious. The whipped ricotta and jam beautifully served on a strip of toasty focaccia was a unique taste sensation. Prime beef meatballs and short rib sliders on toasted ciabatta bread also hit the spot. Even though we were merely dining at the bar, we enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant. There are lots of photos on the walls, interesting lighting from the ceiling, nice serving dishes, and servers who seem to know who their regular diners are. We look forward to returning to Il Porcellino, to bask in that indescribable feeling of being in Italy again.

It's one of those places that you find yourself talking about long after the meal is over. The garlic bread alone is worth the visit. They pour what feels like a gallon of garlic butter over it, and somehow it's still never enough. It's rich, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. We order it every single time and would probably be disappointed if we didn't. The real star of the show, though, is the lasagna. Between the two of us, we've had lasagna at countless restaurants, and nothing has come close to this one. It's hands down the best lasagna we've ever had. Perfect layers, incredible flavor, and the kind of comfort food that makes you want to savor every bite. Their Grey Goose espresso martini is also unmatched. We've tried espresso martinis all over Chicago, and this one is still our favorite. It's smooth, perfectly balanced, and the ideal way to start or end the meal. The atmosphere is another reason we love coming here. The restaurant is gorgeous inside, with a dark, moody vibe that makes it feel special without being stuffy. It's the perfect date night spot whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a great night out together. If you're visiting Chicago and love Italian food, Il Porcellino is a must. Great food, amazing drinks, beautiful ambiance, and a meal you'll be thinking about long after you've left. We make a point to visit every time we're in town, and it never disappoints.

The wife wasn't impressed. Not sure about the younger folks. We shared a bottle of Classico Chianti, Montescondo which was very good. Boyfriend had the braised beef short rib. He seemed to enjoy it. Daughter had gnocchi. Wifey had Bucatini Amatriciana while I ate penne bolognese. Wifey and I shared an order of chicken Parmesan. So much of it the kids took home almost half. The wife had wanted to get the tagliatelle carbonara but with certain ingredients. They weren't sure if they could do it since the sauce was already made. She switched to the Bucatini but the server came back later with the carbonara for her to enjoy on the house. They are very nice here.
