This place has the worst pizzzaa ever!! We ate here today just a couple of hours ago didn't have any food and my cousin ended up puking four times after eating it! So grossss luckily my other cousin an I didnt finish eating it and pur stomachs hurt! We paid $24 x 3 for the most disguting pizza everrrrr. Ughhhh so mad right now! The one star is only for their xmas decor which was amazing. Instead pf spending so much time and money on their decor/ heat they could've gotten a better chef. I do not understanndddd!! So grossssss read more

We came here for drinks and apps over the weekend. Amazing atmosphere, exactly what we were looking for! Love the back patio!! We ordered the potato skins and jalapeño homies. We were a little surprised at the barbecue sauce for the jalapeños, but it totally worked! Cut out the spicy without sacrificing flavor. My only complaint was that we had to ask our server three times for ranch. We had only two potato skins left by the time he brought it, and we still got charged for it. read more

This was a great addition to our Chicago trip - the vibe in this place is awesome. We started with some breadsticks with cheese which were awesome. Next came the smoke show pizza which was amazing. We finished up with some dough boys which was a great dessert choice - A++ read more

Get some homie! After coming here many times, it is probably time for a review. For me, I enjoy coming back to Homeslice really because of the overall vibe and unique spin to their pizzas (za's) and drinks they offer. The neon signs, spacious indoor and outdoor seating, and the interior retro decor all make Homeslice a very trendy, 'instagrammable' place to eat some pizza. I've come here both for brunch and dinner. The only appetizer I've gotten here is bread stix with goat cheese marinara, which is good but nothing amazing. In terms of the pizza, the breakfast za's is one of (if not) the best breakfast pizzas I've had because they do an excellent job cooking their egg on the pizza. The Special K and the Big Teve are also all around solid pizza picks here. While I'm not a fan of Hawaiian pizza, the Alo-Hot is actually pretty good, the jalapenos add a nice balance to the sweetness of the pineapple. The drinks are delicious and fun. My favorite drink here, by far, is the brunch bloody marys that come with a mini slice pizza on top of your drink as well as a beer back. The downsides of being so hip and trendy is that, depending on the time, it can be very busy, which leads to long wait times and slight decline in service. Personally, I wouldn't wait more than an hour to go here. However, if the wait is just right and I'm looking for a fun environment to hang out with some friends and eat some tasty pizzas, I'll be here at Homeslice. read more

Super cool vibe and so many choices of pizza. Came here on st paddy's day so everyone was feeling it. The patio is awesome read more

I have two rules in life: whenever a stranger offers to give you ride in their van, gladly accept; and whenever a zoo offers free admission, take advantage. So there I was, famished from a late fall afternoon at the Lincoln Park Zoo. My options for a meal were few. I could incapacitate a nearby zookeeper, break into the tiger pit and abscond with a tray of rat bones and rabbit meat; or I could set out my own to one of the scores of Lincoln Park restaurants. My jiu-jitsu is a bit rusty, so I opted for option number two. As I strolled down Belden Avenue I perused my phone for nearby locales, all while concocting a plan for how I can weasel my way to the top of the will of any of the homeowner's on the stately street. I had a craving for pizza and decided to give Homeslice a try. It's a thin crust joint on the neighborhood's west side. Urban Dictionary defines "homeslice" as a good friend or someone who seems like a little slice of home. If you can't trust Urban Dictionary, who can you trust. I wasn't dining with my homeslice for this meal, but nonetheless, was excited for what was in store. Upon stepping inside, the first thing you notice is the exposed brick and rustic wood. I was half-expecting Ron Swanson or a Keebler Elf to pop out and take my order while carving me a new chest of drawers. If there'd been a moose head hanging from the wall, I would've thought I'd made a wrong turn and ended up at a ski lodge in Vail. While I was admiring the fun Christmas decor and trying to decipher if a nearby man was a human or a walrus (50/50 perhaps?) a waiter came by to provide water and collect a drink order. He informed me that free refills are provided here so I quickly sent him away to bring me the largest vat of Coke that they have. Homeslice's menu is enormous with an endless assortment of apps, salads, soups and calzones. The pizzas, which is what you came here for, dear reader, come in 10", 14" or 18" sizes. There are numerous offerings whether you want heavier meats like beef and sausage, something lighter with chicken or veggie only. You also have the option to build your own or take it by the slice if you need a quick fix. Go crazy and even get a gluten free option. They have those too. I'm looking at you, Zooey Deschanel! Upon my waiter's return, I was listening as experimental indie rock (Wasilla's own Portugal. The Man to be exact) through the speakers and gazing upon Homeslice's freshly lacquered tables, but composed myself long enough to order the Bennett's Beauty (pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, mozzarella, provolone and marinara). Of the dozen meat pizza options, there isn't a single one that contains only meats and cheese (much to my chagrin). I've never cared for veggies, olives or mushrooms on pizza, so I got mine without 'shrooms. The Meatball 'Za (meatball, giardiniera, and marinara) was also in the running too. I plan on sending Homeslice a sternly worded email that the name of the pie should be changed to the Meatball 'Suh. "Pizza" is pronounced "peet-SUH" not "peet-ZA". Meatball 'Za should be saved for a lasagna dish if one is ever added to the menu. Say it with me, "la-ZAhn-yuh". To review: peet-SUH and la-ZAhn-yuh. Are we clear, Homeslice? My 10 inches of Bennett (Tony or Beck, I wasn't quite sure) arrived in short order and my server was quick to bring me a free refill as well. The pizza was piping hot just as it should be. It was loaded with toppings and the bake was perfect from the crust to the bottom. I must warn you, the base of the pizza on which the mountain of toppings rests is paper thin. Placing one's thumb in the center of the slice will cause the front of the piece to droop downward resulting in some of the topping falling off. A thumb near the front of the slice will cause the middle to dip like a rhinoceros on a tightrope. I recommend using a fork for the first few bites until the slice is more easily manageable. I found the cheese to be average, but the fresh toppings and chewy but flavorful crust more than make up for it. The tangy sauce was my favorite part, and I would not have turned down even a bit more even though it was distributed nicely. In fact, I enjoyed the pizza more and more with each piece. I was very full at three slices, but had walked a good deal on this day (with more to come) so the extra calories were not a concern. The 10" is plenty for one really hungry person or even two people who don't want to feel overly stuffed. There's even sriracha on the table, not my thing, but worth a shot for the more adventurous. Homeslice currently holds the place as my favorite thin slice establishment in the city. I do wish the cheese was more flavorful and the pizza itself wasn't so flimsy, but I'll be back to try one of their many other offerings. As the halogen display in the restaurant says, "I could give up pizza, but I'm not a quitter." Food: **** Atmosphere: ****1/2 Service: ***1/5 Overall: **** read more

What a fun place! Cute decor, food is pretty good but limited options, since they serve primarily pizzas. I can't tell if I'd categorize this as a bar that serves good food or a food place that serves lots of alcohol. Regardless, they both mean you will have a great time. The line can get long, so prepare to wait a while (especially on a Saturday, which is when I came). Pizzas are great for what they are. Crust is nice and crispy/chewy, you know the kind where it is still doughy enough to give you something to munch on? Yum. Toppings fresh. I got one with artichoke and feta, it was really well done (if a little greasy, but that's what we all want from our junk food, right?). Was it the best pizza I've had in Chicago? No, but this was by far one of the more enjoyable locations to eat it in. We also got some sort of garlic bread starter that was okay. There was bread served with baked garlic and some sort of gorgonzola cheese dip, which didn't make much sense. There wasn't nearly enough bread for either of the toppings, and the gorgonzola was so strong it overshadowed everything else. Eh, wouldn't get it again. Overall? A fun spot to hang out with some friends if you want the options of pizza and drinks. I'd come back! read more

I honestly don't get what all the hype is about with this place. I came her with my sister and we ordered a pitcher of beer and a bbq chicken pizza. I am a person of the belief that there is no such thing as bad pizza. I really love pizza and rarely wouldn't want it. But I honestly did not like their pizza here. It's nothing special. It kind of reminds me of a pizza I made with pre-made dough from the grocery store. It's not bad, per say, but it's not worth the hefty prices they're charging or the praise I always hear from friends. I mean we're Chicago. We know good pizza, so this doesn't reach the level of what we have. That being said, the restaurant itself is cool. With cool neon signs and a dark, bar vibe, it's an event to come here. If you're with friends, there are plenty of places to take pictures. But I would say pass on the pizza. Not that great. read more

I don't like it for 3 reason 1theres no roof seating 2 there only street parking and 3 there is no fries!!!!!

Great pizza place with unique menu. I also love their ambiance. We ordered customized vegetarian pizza and it was good. I think we over customized the pizza that we were bit disappointed. The staff is amazing and drinks are great. A cozy place for great pizza and drinks. Will be going back to try more pizza. read more

Good & fun pizza place, affordable, good for vegetarians, and good for groups. Need to know: there are restrictions (i.e. 21+) at times, so make sure you know the rules. Homeslice is one of the few Chicago pizza places that shies away from deep dish in a creative and fun way. There are many different varieties, good for all different tastes, and it is affordable. read more

Visited Homeslice for the first time last weekend and just loved it. Christmas decorations were still up and made for a beautiful setting. There was no wait on a Saturday night-post holiday is a little slower. Great service, drinks and food. Really good time. And the round of cinnamon-smores donuts was amazing! read more

Waitress gets 5 stars. Pizza gets 3.5 stars. Burrata gets 5 stars. The bartender who I saw pour Svedka in to my $9.00 "Tito's/Soda" drinks does not get any stars. I truly don't think this was the fault of the waitress, she only went to pick up the drink. I was staring right at the bar and saw him poor Svedka into my Tito's and Soda that was the drink I was served. Not OK Homeslice! Aside from the sketchy bar service, cool atmosphere and decent 'Za. read more

This place is great. I love the uniqueness of it and the outside and semi-outside seating. The service is amazing and it just has such a chill, feel good vibe to it! The theme is part camping and part hipster. There is no shortage of outdoor seating and you should expect to be pleasantly surprised by the decor out back. I love the vibe. For those of us in the #vegsquad I would not have know that they had vegan cheese if Homeslice hadn't reached out to me on Yelp! Shout out to Josh for amazing customer service! Moral of the story... they do have vegan cheese! All you have to do is ask! So ask for that Daiya cheese and 'Be Awesome' @ Homeslice! read more

Homeslice - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My family and I went to the city to see some fall colors and try to get a taste of normalcy! We stopped at Homeslice for lunch and it was the perfect choice! We did have to make a reservation in advance for outdoor seating and tables have an expiration time. It was a brisk day so heaters were set up in the tent for some warmth...it was lovely. We ordered a couple of pizzas, the BMZ and Bennett's Beauty. Both were delish! The crust was the best. It had a flavorful crisp to it but not crunchy, it was still soft! Yum! It topped off our trip to the city. Thank you Homeslice for creating a safe, yet welcoming, environment for families amidst these crazy times! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this lively spot! They added a huge outdoor area with a great vibe. I shared the large Hughes Delight veggie pizza with vegan cheese. There was an overwhelming assortment of toppings which made the slices heavy, but the vegan cheese I recognized and was delicious!! It tasted like normal pizza, which I missed so much. We also shared the Sesame Soy salad, which was alright but not a huge portion. The pizza portion, however, was quite impressive. I only had two slices and another leftover, so I'd say the pizza is a good deal for the sheer size, toppings, and flavors you get. The Matcha Lemonade was simply amazing! One of the best drinks I've had in a while. Not sure how much alcohol was in it though; they might have skimped a little. Service was iffy but it was a busy night and it didn't bother me or take away from the fun atmosphere. I would love to go back when it's a fully functioning bar again! read more

Great local place with a nice rustic type of feel. At Christmas time they go all out with the decorating and it's pretty impressive, especially for a local pizza place. They also have a fair amount of outdoor seating in the summer in the back and the side of the restaurant. I've been here about 4 times in the last few months and they've been pretty good all those times. I want to make it my local spot to recommend, but for some reason that I can't quite put my finger on I can't say it's amazing. The service is usually fine, but they are sometimes slow even when it's not too busy. So that's why 4 stars is a solid rating for me. I'd still go back and would recommend to others to try out, but I won't swear to anyone that it's the best pizza spot in town. read more

This was the first time we ordered Homeslice - I found them online because I was looking for a place that offers vegan cheese pizza for my son who has a dairy and egg allergy. When I called, Julie answered and was really friendly, informative and reassuring that they could safely make my son a pizza - she said that she'd go back in the kitchen to talk to the cooks about my allergy order. For a food allergy mom, I was so grateful for Julie because I knew that she'd take special care of my sons order. My son loved the pizza and a very special thank you to Julie! Can't wait to order from there again! read more

I made the mistake of not researching homeslice before attending and damn did I regret that. Buckle in. The food: I am not sure if they have a kitchen or a toaster oven out back. I have had better potato skins from a box, and they weren't even hot. The pork on top also had gristle in it. I got the gluten free pizza (which is a small might I add) to share and we ate a single slice. It was not cooked and stale at the same time. Beats me how they managed that! The service: We got seated promptly and were taken care of, only reason they are getting 2 stars. The decor: In its attempt to be trendy, this place is a mix of almost cool and straight up strange. Sparkles, industrial lights, and plastic wooden logs? Huh? read more

Was dragged here for Sunday Funday by my friend from NY who's obviously a Giants fan. The concept of hanging out at a bar the whole day watching football is completely foreign to me. Like...why on earth? But I was bribed by my friend saying the place is totally Instagram worthy. Alas, she knows me well. I do it all for the 'gram. So to Homeslice we went. Overall, the atmosphere is great! The pizza? Could be better. I wasn't impressed but then again, Chicago pizza always lets me down (sorry but true). My favorite part of the meal was the bloody mary with the pizza slice on top. So extra!! So instagram-worthy!! I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here but it's a decent bar/restaurant if you just want to kick back with friends in your flannel shirt at a place with good vibes and watch a game while munching on sub-par expensive pizza. Yes. Live the Midwestern dream y'all. read more

I was a little concerned about getting salad, since this is primarily a pizza joint. But, my gluten sensitive friends, fear not for the super solid sheffield salad (say that 5x fast) have your back. Combine with a Stone Delicious IPA and you're in for a good time. My server, Ian, was knowledgable and friendly, offering a warmth that the chilly breeze had taken from me. Will return. read more

Simple concept that works great. The pizza is great for quick dinner or parties with friends. The breading and crust is not too thick or filling. Also get the cheese bread ASAP. I moved here recently and fell in love (maybe a little too much) with this pizzeria. read more

Today, I was enjoying my day. Until I entered into the worst restaurant I have ever been to. 3 of my friends and I made a reservation and one of us arrived earlier. She sat on the patio and when we showed up, they wouldn't sit us with her because they said our ID cards and vaccination cards were "fake". They made us sit in a different section and would not let us order drinks, but our friend who arrived first was allowed to order drinks just because they were flirting with her. It was very creepy and didn't make sense why they picked only one person of the group of 4 (she is also the prettiest) to be able to drink. Makes no sense because we are obviously all the same age... the vibes were super weird. We didn't want to fight them on it because it seemed like a waste of time, so we just ordered an appetizer and left. read more

This place is absolutely packed, even with the limited amount of seating they have, and I can see why. The decor is obviously amazing and I think this would be a great place to take someone visiting the Chicago area who isn't interested in only being in the Loop area. The wait staff did forget about us for probably 20 minutes after we first sat down but they apologized profusely and comped our drinks, which was really great of them. I got the turkey calzone and it was delicious, filling, and not too heavy - next time I will definitely be trying one of their pizzas. The only downside is the bathrooms, they're one stall and if you're waiting for the ladies room, you're gonna be waiting for a while. read more

I can't wait for summer when the patio is open...oh wait, they have the patio open and covered so you can enjoy the dream! Try everything. You can't go wrong here!!! The Big Meaty Ziser and Party Boi, pictured, are definitely my fav. The breadsticks are cheesy and flavorful. Great service and ambiance. A definite try. read more

Similar to others in this COVID-19 pandemic, it has been a LONG time since we ate out at a "sit down" restaurant. First, the staff: from the young gentleman that took our temperature upon entering and asked for my ID (you are my new friend since I'm in my 50s), the gracious hostess, and the waiter who noted our "soccer love" with our Cubs shirts; fantastic. Second, the food: appetizers (stuffed jalapeños, guac & chips). Last, but not least: pizza, the crown jewel (mac diesel & BMZ). Wonderful experience! read more

Overrated to say the least. I tried the Zephy pizza; it tasted very simple and basic. Like something you could make at home. I expected so much more taste and flavor. The goat cheese they add to the Zephy ruins the flavor. Honestly, Pizza Hut and Jet's pizza make much better pizza for a fraction of the cost, haha. I don't see what the big hype is about Homeslice. Their pizza sucks and is overpriced. Like one user said previously, you're not paying for the food. You're paying for the atmosphere that they have. read more

I am obsessed with all things Happy Camper/Homeslice. I love these two restaurants almost as much as I love pizza itself. The atmosphere is always fun, inviting. You can tell these people have a passion for pizza and happy stomachs. There is really nothing better than piping hot goat cheese and tomato sauce. I really don't know how/why every person doesn't order this at either restaurant. It's the best thing on the menu. Other than those goat "stix," the Da Duba pizza is great. Our waiter, whose name I'm blanking on but absolutely LOVED, recommended that we dip the crust into the remaining goat cheese mix (which, funny enough, we already had that idea). He was fantastic and was smiling with every check in. He also brought us free cookie dough bites at the end of our meal because he "loved our vibe." Well, guess what, we loved your vibe, too! Thank you to Homeslice + Happy Camper for somehow making tomatoes, bread, and cheese an even better combination than anyone imagined. read more

Yummy!! In a city known for its deep dish pizza, Homeslice is the place to go if you're looking for something not so deep dish . A little pricy but the ambiance is fun and is a great hang out place with friends. It does get a bit challenging to have conversations if you're seated in the section below the train station though. A new train passes by every 3-5 minutes and you start having to yell what you're saying so everyone can hear you, haha. read more

Homeslice has also been on my Chicago list for some time as I am severely lactose intolerant and also sensitive to gluten (a constant struggle...) when I heard they had vegan cheese AND a gluten free crust I could not stay away! Atmosphere- Visited on a Sunday afternoon and luckily beat the mad brunch crowd. We were seated immediately. The place is very nice (especially if you love good instagram posts). There is more "dim-lighted" seating coming in but towards the back there is also a bar and open seating/the infamous Happy Camper neon sign. Service- Great service, everything was served quickly. Food- The fact that I could have this pizza already made my day! Their drinks are also good (and strong) and they have so many different options. I'd definitely come back! Overall, a great casual spot for lunch/dinner with friends or for a date. read more

We went back here to give it another chance and we were NOT disappointed! We had Alissa as our waitress, today was her first day, and she was awesome!! We forgot our leftovers and she ran after us to give them to us. So sweet. We will definitely be back!! The back patio has a really nice ambience. Food's yummy and filling. We get a small, personal size pizza and still end up having at least 1 slice leftover! read more

One of my best friends hosted my wedding shower here last weekend. I have nothing but the best to say about Homeslice and their amazing staff. Dylan was our server that day and he did wonderfully at getting everything out and taking care of everyone. They gave us a large table for our group of 15. The pizza was obviously delicious... but my favorite thing was the mozzarella sticks! I had been here one other time with on a double date and I can say regardless of your party size, this is a great place to go out and have a beer and some pizza! Also, a sincere thank you to Homeslice and Dylan for making our wedding shower a really comfortable and enjoyable experience. read more

I went here with some co-workers/friends for a nice get-together with beer and pizza. We really enjoyed our time here! We sat in the back patio, which was such a fun ambience, especially for bigger parties! I will say though, if you want to sit in the back patio, be prepared for intermittent loud train noises, as the train passes right over Homeslice! We didn't mind it though, because it was a casual get-together. The food itself was good. Not the best pizza I've had by any means, nor the best prices, but definitely worthy of it being called a pizza place. The crust is super crusty and has a lot of flavor. The bottom of my slices were a bit soggy though. I'm a vegetarian so I can only comment on the veggie options but I felt that there were plenty of options and different toppings! I would definitely come back, moreso for the "hip" atmosphere though. read more

Gotta give props to Homeslice manager, Nick, last night for accommodating our request for a COVID friendly table. He opened a section of the outside patio that'd been closed all night just for our group of four. Fired up the heaters, cranked it full blast and put the hockey game on two TVs - a prerequisite for dining there in the first place. Exceptional customer service all night from the manager who could've easily said, "sorry, that section is closed ." We'll be back again & again because of Nick and, oh yeah, pies are great too! read more
