    Large Pan Cheese Pizza

    GOOD PIZZA. You don't need anything else. They are a staple in Brighton park. I would go again and again.

    Sausage, olives, and mushrooms - a house pie and really, really delicious...

    Southsider by birth here. This is the best damn Chicago style pizza around. This is old-school. Our parents used to come to all of the pizza joints and debate the merits of each. Falco's is all around great...sauce is not too sweet but nice and punchy. Cheese is plentiful. Sausage is really really good...as it should be. Good olives on it, too. Mark my words--South Side pizza is a kind of best kept secret and Falco's still does it dead on. Right across from Kelly High so you know the kids have been getting this pizza for decades after (and sneaking out of) classes... I got the classic sausage, olives (green...of course), and mushrooms. It was awesome as always. Crust was crispy and braided...usually don't eat the crust but I do here! Pizza itself was delicious. Hard to stop eating that really melted cheese, mushroom, and salty olive combination on a nicely textured and perfectly baked pizza. Service was superb. The woman serving it checked up on me frequently and was really kind--and she was even helping a lot of folks at the bar on that particular Sunday night. Really thoughtful. Beyond that...I ordered a pitcher of Lite and she made it a point to me the fullest pitcher of beer I've ever gotten...wow...it was like getting an extra beer (see photo). Really a deal as well at about 9 or 10 bucks a pitcher.

    I ordered a pizza early in the day because I wanted to make sure that I'd get it on time for dinner with family. After waiting past the scheduled time, I called and the person on the phone seemed confused. She said that it was on its was. Said that if it's cold, they'd replace it. Well, it came later and cold. Not only that but it looked like it was put together with parts of other pizzas. I spoke with someone who works there and was informed that the manager forgot to send my order. I called to speak with the manager, sent pictures and was given a refund. I was afraid to order from them again, but I called for pickup, and was told that I was red flagged and needed to talk with the owner to be unflagged.

    I said "well done"

    I said "well done" . Disappointing because I love Falco's and this has happened the last 3/4 times I have ordered from them.

    This is the pizza after I finished baking it. I ate this 2 1/2 hours after ordering.

    THIS IS FOR THE Cicero location: If I could rate this a zero, I would! Ordered pizza on Slice app at 5:05 pm. App stated it would be 45-55 minutes. Ok, I can wait. App tells me order would be delivered by 7:00. What?! I chatted the slice app to see if I can cancel...No, pizza is in oven. Pizza arrives and the canned mushrooms look like they were thrown on after pizza came out of oven. Cheese was really gooey and undercooked. Pizza crust was stuck to the cardboard.

    I had falco's for the first time in years when I visited in August. I have to say this pizza is so yummy! I order cheese pizza with mushrooms and jalapeños. This is always my go to! There's nothing better than Chicago pizzaaa the service was fast and friendly.

    If you know , then you know....Falcos is seriously some of the best pizza in Chicago! No it's not fancy.. no it's not celebrity endorsed.. no it's not overpriced and overrated!! Great Southside Chicago pizza and solid drinks at this old skool bar/pizzeria!! 10 out of 10 pizza and sold by the slice to boot !

    Thin crust, cheese, sausage, green peppers,  onions, mushrooms and jalapeño hot peppers.  Awesome

    See all

    A great place to get deep dish on the southside. Every time I'm in Chicago I make it a point to get a pie from them.

    I heard great reviews from friends about this place and im so glad that i got to try it during my…read moretrip. came on a saturday night around 5:30 without a reservation and we were lucky enough to be seated without a wait at the bar. i noticed when we were leaving the restaurant, the waitlist had gotten longer. The waitress had informed us that a single is a double, a double is a triple, etc! Opted for a single with bacon as an add on and it was delectable. The thick pieces of bacon were truly the cherry on top. It comes with a slice of pickle. Additional sides, including fries, are extra. We unconventionally got an omelette.. but let's just say it was one of the fluffiest omelettes I've had-- not your classic breakfast omelette. Inside are roasted peppers and cheese. It's dimly lit inside to set the vibe. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. They have a QR code on the table linked to your check that you can use to pay or a check can be requested instead.

    Several people who have either visited or lived in Chicago told me to try the infamous cheeseburger…read moreat Au Cheval so I made it a point to stop by during my trip. I planned to dine at Au Cheval for Sunday lunch and unfortunately there weren't any reservations available on Resy for lunchtime when I checked. Of note, Resy charges $2.50 per person to book the reservation which does not go towards the bill. After looping around for parking and finding a metered spot, I checked in at the restaurant shortly after 11:30am and was told I was 28th in line and the host could not quote a wait time due to the inclusion of online reservations. I thought that was a bit odd so I ended up walking around to explore the surrounding businesses. I finally received a text that my table was ready around thirty minutes later. The restaurant itself is not big but gives off an old fashioned vibe which I guess correlated with the type of food served. I ordered a single cheeseburger, a side of thick cut peppered bacon, and a side of French fries. I figured it was more economical to order a side of bacon rather than adding it to my burger so I can eat as much or as little as I wanted. The food came around fifteen minutes later. The burger itself did not look as big on the plate as I expected, although it was apparent how thick the two hamburger patties were. Since everyone was raving about the burger I had high expectations which unfortunately were not met. The burger tasted like a burger found at any average diner across the country. The bacon pieces were thick and flavorful but I don't think they elevated the burger as much as I'd like. Also, I wished there were cheese options rather than offering only American cheese which is probably the cheapest cheese that can be added on a burger. The fries reminded me of In-N-Out fries but the fries at the bottom of the cup were way too salty as if all the salt was added to the bottom of the cup instead of trickling down after being sprinkled on the fries on top. Considering all the hype about Au Cheval and the claims that their cheeseburger is one of the best burgers in the country or world, I was very underwhelmed. If this burger were to represent the Chicago food scene on a national level, it should rank lower than several other major cities in the United States.
