stopped by on Sunday Jan 26th in the evening and the service was horrible. The gothic bartender server looked miserable, she kept huffing and puffing as customers kept going to the bar for drinks. She wasn't welcoming nor appreciative for the cash tip that was left for her. She rudely said im about to close and you gotta go. Horrible experience and ambiance was depressing, will not return. I will go to another establishment where they appreciate goos business. read more

Kitchen 17 - pizza was cold and hard, had no flavor - Vegan Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

10/10 recommend! We are vegans visiting from LA and found this spot from TikTok. DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The venue had a super cute and fun vibe. We got recommended a Chicago Handshake (shot/beer beverage) which was fun! Buffalo Cauliflower wings were fire! The pepperoni deep dish was FIRE! Triple chocolate brownie was also fire! And we got food to go! All the vegan cheese and soy meats are made in house. And they have games! The service/servers were also wonderful. Thank you Kitchen 17 for a wonderful Chicago experience :) read more

Kitchen 17 - Deep dish pizza - Vegan Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We have liked the pizza, especially the fully loaded, although the wife is not a fan of the cheese, but I like the Creaminess. I think the pizza is unique and delicious. We are less fans of those sandwiches. It seems hit or miss. The several times we had it, the gyros doesn't have nearly enough meat. Also not enough vegetables, and it in the end has nothing to do with a gyros and shouldn't be called a gyros, but a pita wrap, and then not a very good one. One time the Philly cheesesteak was delicious full of meat and cheesy. Today it was very disappointing. Not nearly enough meat, all bread, no substance. Hard to believe it's the same restaurant. Chicken parm was substantive, way more weight. read more

This place was very mediocre. We had ordered from them in the past when they were in lakeview and the food was much better. Beer was lukewarm. Pizza was a lot of dough without much flavor. Just my opinion but I won't be going back. I has a gyro sandwich which lacked flavor. French fries were really good though read more

Delish deep dish pizza! Highly recommend! While I didn't visit the location, I ordered online and was so impressed with the pizza. The dough was perfect, sauce seasoned well, toppings and cheese were incredible. If I could give them ten stars, I would! read more

Couldn't ask for more from this place great pizza great movie playing on the tv. PHAT BEACH!!

My husband's and my favorite place place to order vegan! We've tried the following: Gyro - both our personal favorites. The sliced seitan does a great imitation and overall the gyro is so flavorful. It comes with a side of fries which are warm and slightly crispy even by the time they deliver. BBQ Cheddar Burger - my husband's second favorite. He also gets the sweet potato fries (extra charge) as his side and they add a LOT so I end up stealing a bunch. :) Deep dish pizza traditional - also my husband's second favorite tied with the burger. It helps satisfy his pizza cravings - he recently turned vegan. Super flavorful and one of our fav vegan pizzas and almost ALL their desserts! We tried the caramel apple spice, the mega cookie mud pie, oreo, parent trap, funfetti, and more. my favorite is probably the parent trap or mega mud! read more

Kitchen 17 - Gyro - Vegan Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

During a recent train ride from Denver to Buffalo, my partner and I got to spend a 6 hour layover in Chicago. One of the hardest things about being vegan is missing out on local delicacies when traveling. Nothing makes my day more than visiting a restaurant that allows me to indulge in the vegan version of specialty foods. Kitchen 17 was this magical place! Everything on Kitchen 17's menu is vegan, and it all sounded delicious. My partner and I ordered the veggie deep dish. The vegan version of deep dish was tasty in its own right. One thing that all vegan pizza lacks is the stringiness of the cheese, which isn't anyone's fault, but don't go expecting that quintessential cheese pull you get with original deep dish. Kitchen 17's sauce was really flavorful and the crust was the perfect crispiness to keep everything from sliding off. The atmosphere at Kitchen 17 is where it looses one star. We were a bit confused coming in, there was a host stand at the entrance but there were no signs directing us to seat ourselves or where to place our order. No one was on the floor to greet us. We figured out that we had to order at the window and the food would be brought out to us. There was also a blocked off area where a bunch of storage items were visible, which may indicate they're in a state of transition. Overall the service was friendly, the food was delicious, and I would for sure visit again next time I'm in Chicago. read more

We found this gem on Yelp and even though we ordered carry out we were able to enjoy ourselves. This dope vegan spot has video games at the bar and random board games that are all around the restaurant. You can definitely come here with your friends after work and have a mini game night out. The bartender was also very friendly and helpful. We got the impossible and beyond burger and my partner said that was one of the best burgers he had. We are definitely coming back here for some burgers and games. read more

Deep dish pizza was disgusting, truly. I couldn't even eat it and tossed it. Pizza lover here and honestly this was probably the worst pizza I've ever eaten. Honestly I hate to leave a bad review for a vegan restaurant anywhere... we need more successful plant based restaurants... but had to, it was that bad. read more

Lived by here for so long but never went in until last June. The food is amazing, the ambience is excellent, just a great scene. Plus they've got pinball! read more

The BEST cauliflower wings, are righteous found in Chicago, at Kitchen 17. I need to give the deep dish another go around, but it was definitely good enough for me to tell you to go try it. The artichoke dip is a skip for me. Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer read more

I generally enjoy their food, however, I have a few pointers that might be helpful: the marinara sauce needs to be more seasoned. Understandably, the goal is to make it similar to standard (non-vegan) deep dish, however, because of the difference in taste and texture of plant based food, a very tangy simple sauce actually is much too tart for their pizza. Yes the option exists to get no sauce, or some other sauce like pesto, etc, but then it would not be deep dish without the sauce. Also, there's just way too much tomato sauce in general. As others have said, the plain tomato sauce tastes straight from the can. It ruins a good thing. In addition, the food needs to be both tasty and attractive in appearance. Sometimes the food is only tasty and not lovingly made. A little attention to this would go a long way. Their desserts are great and portions for desserts and sandwiches are generous. read more

Grungy all-vegan dive bar feel, specializing in pizza (deep dish available), along with sandwiches and some other items. Since this was our first time in Chicago, we ordered the Fully Loaded deep dish pizza ($31 plus tax), which was more than enough for two of us. The pizza came with soy sausage, spinach, onion, black olive, spicy giardiniera, vegan mozzarella, and marinara. Not as deep dish as expected, but very hearty, somewhat under-salted and not as saucey as expected either; but it all comes together, and the condiments provided (nooch, oregano, salt and pepper) help it out. Solid spot to try vegan deep dish pizza. Recommended. read more

Great atmosphere, food and drinks! Enjoyable bar and live music. I recommend this place for a good time.

Just had a slice of their Plant Eater deep dish pizza at the Sideshow Gelato vegan event and it was amazing! Just what I wanted and so satisfying. Friendly service from 2 who were working the booth. Looking forward to visiting in person for more deliciousness! read more

Such a great spot! I ate here with my boyfriend and a friend late on a Friday night. We sat ourselves and grabbed water from a dispenser. My boyfriend and I joke that the best vegan spots always serve room-temperature water! We ordered a deep dish cheese to share and still left absolutely stuffed. My boyfriend is vegan and had never visited Chicago, but I didn't want him to miss out on the deep dish experience. I was skeptical of the idea because I usually don't like vegan cheese substitutes, wow was I wrong! The pizza was fantastic. You can taste the difference because the texture is obviously a bit different but honestly it was still a gooey cheesy dream. I would recommend this spot for anyone, vegan or otherwise! **ETA: Two nights later we were up late and a bit under the influence, looking for a treat. We ordered dessert off Uber Eats and devoured all 3 pieces. We each had a different favorite but liked them all, so you truly can't go wrong! read more

First time in Chicago and we HAD to try deep dish pizza, and unfortunately found this place through the Happy Cow app. We came to run the Chicago marathon and stayed in the city so the distance was already a big deal between our hotel and the restaurant but of course we traveled far to try their vegan pizza. Walk through the door and the guy who was working the bar doesn't acknowledge us at all but we give him the benefit of the doubt and continue to be polite to him. When he finally decides to take our order, it was still dismissive. Pizza took a long time but we were aware as it is a deep dish so we stayed just to be served the worst pizza I have ever had. The crust was extremely hard could not even cut it with a knife let alone comfortably bite it, the vegan sausage tastes awful, and the million pieces of spicy pepper were not tasty just burned. The portions are big so you get a lot for what you pay but that definitely shows the quality is not great. The server topped things off with making us feel like we were a bother to be there from start to end. Atmosphere and restroom were the same.. dirty. I was so disappointed that I took time to leave this review despite having to get ready for the marathon the night before. read more

I finally made it to Kitchen 17's newer location. It's a dark bar with Bud ads on the table (and it's somewhat reminiscent of the former Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, if that means anything to you). By the way, the alleged story behind their name is that they had 17 seats in their original location, so they named it Kitchen 17. The food is as deliciously messy and as plant-based as ever! read more

I am loving Kitchen 17 the food is delicious and inclusive regardless if you are vegan! and the show space, Fallen Log is so fun! Definitely coming back read more

Buffalo cauliflower was great texture. Soft on the inside and crisp exterior. Ranch was foamy texture but decent taste maybe a touch overly acidic. Seitan chicken was too largely chunky. Bbq sauce is good maybe a touch acidic. Servers were nice but a bit unprofessional as in too casual like being served at a friend's house. Atmosphere is very loud like a rock punk night club. I had the pizza shipped to me prior to visiting in person and it was great! Peanut butter cheesecake was very delectable! read more

Ok, I know chicken breasts are large these days but woah. Are they always this big?!? (Just kidding, I know it's not real) Like wholly crap, if so I will be ordering again because it was delicious and huge. I don't know if this was an accident or normal for size, I had to take a picture with the bottom part of the bun gone so you can see how big it is. I have already taken a few bites at this point, this was the chicken sandwich. read more

the Cauliflower wings were unbeatable. Crunchy crispey texture great, sauce perfect, served warm, highly recommend. Great ranch dressing! The pan dish pizza 12 inch size was ample and came out nice and toasty. I was not a big fan of the cheese but the crust was yummy. Our salad was good and a nice generous portion. I liked how the salad greens were a surprising variety. The food was lovingly cooked and these folks know their vegan cuisine. Service: one man seemed to be handling the bartending, hosting, taking our order, and handing off food to the delivery persons on a friday evening. He was not behind the bar most of the time so i felt like there was no one working in the restaurant a lot of the time. I ordered a salad and my companion ordered a pizza and we planned to dine on our respective dishes together but the pizza came out later than the salad. So by the time it came out we were full from eating the salad. I liked how we were left alone and overall it was a nice laid-back ambiance. Ambiance: The restaurant was decorated in a Mardi-Gras, halloween, Christmas ornamented Dive Bar way. It looked like it needed a good cleaning, door was full of smudges, floor needed a vaccuuming, table top did not seem too clean. A few flies were buzzing around. Lively music was playing and luckily it was not too loud so we could converse. read more

The service was a nightmare. Great band but they have a two drink maximum and are like crazy about it. Horrible bartender. Really? 2 drinks in 3 hours? It's Chicago. read more

This place has been on my list for forger but unfortunately the wait wasn't worth it. I opted for the Philly cheesesteak & I should've read the description prior to ordering because for one I didn't know it was made with seitan & for two I didn't know they put ranch atop the dish. While I do enjoy seitan (the seitan from Chicago diner is the best) this seitan tasted more like gyro meat & the ranch was just weird. I have to mention that cheese on a vegetarian dish totally makes it but this cheese was plain. The fries were fried to perfection I must add. If they put some truffle into them they could be ranked amongst the best in the city. read more

I absolutely loved this place. I was visiting Chicago for a trade show with my coworkers, one of whom is entirely plant-based, and I myself am vegetarian. The other two eat meat but were happy to go vegan for the day. The place is so quirky. The lighting, the setup, the board games, the ambiance is there to make you feel a little bit off kilter in the best way. Even the overhead playlist was such an adventure. We were helped by Jennie, who is an owner/founder of the restaurant and she was fantastic. She was so friendly and she was telling us so many fun stories about going plant-based and opening the restaurant, she was so kind and sweet and entertaining. Seriously I just wanted to have her sit down and chat with us the whole time. The food was phenomenal. The flavors were great, the textures were lovely. We got the pepperoni deep dish - It was so good! We also got the cauliflower wings which weren't to my taste, but my coworkers love buffalo and they loved the flavor (I wasn't expecting to like them since I'm not a buffalo sauce fan). The spinach artichoke dip was my favorite. It was seriously so phenomenal. The flavor, the creaminess, I don't know what it was made of but it was so delicious. Jennie talked to us for a while about the in-house vegan cheeses and vegan dairy, and we were comparing various store-bought vegan dairies... It was awesome, she had a lot of great insight and as I said she was a very fun storyteller so we were just thoroughly engrossed with her. It is such a quirky funky little restaurant. The lighting is a little weird the decor is even weirder, and the music playlist is completely confounding in such a fun way. I really genuinely loved my experience, and had such a good time, I would recommend any person who's into plant-based food come check this out. read more

Kitchen 17 has some of the best vegan pizza in Chicago period! We did a round trip 2 and a half hour drive today to bring this pizza home to the fam because when you need to flex that vegan food can be dope, you have to do it right. We have now tried three different pizzas there, and they have all been great. My fav is the deep dish. The pepperoni is legit and makes the NY style pizza. Stop in and give them a visit!

I cannot believe this place actually exists. While eating the traditional deep dish pizza, I had to stop and confirm that Kitchen 17 is actually vegan, because dang, it tasted legit. I have never actually had deep dish pizza before, since I have lived in Hawaii my whole life, but my befriend said it was spot on. The traditional pizza had layers of meat (beef crumble and pepperoni), cheese, and sauce. Their cheese didn't have that vegan fake cheese consistency and flavor that I am personally not a fan of. This cheese was perfect and creamy. Their Mac and cheese deep dish was also amazing. A creative item that made my taste buds dance. Definitely go here for your deep dish needs....even though they are moving and may be closed for a little. read more

This place is amazing. I haven't felt as verbose lately, preferring rather to distill my experiences at any place into one sentence. I don't think that will be possible for Kitchen 17! I first heard of Kitchen 17 because my friend in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) orders the pizza to be sent to him there. I looked on the website, and they do indeed ship pizzas all the way up to us, somehow using dry ice to accomplish that feat. However, upon viewing the menu, I knew that I would need to try it in person. My partner, an avid fan of deep dish, agreed. Luckily, we were heading to Chicago the following weekend. I'm very glad that we tried the deep dish pizza here. We ordered 2, and could easily have only ordered one pizza for the three of us! They were large and very filling. I also had the house salad, which was quite delicious. The jalapeno popper pizza does use the medium spicy jalapenos, which gives it a nice kick. We also tried the traditional deep dish, which was really standard date, but absolutely delicious also. I will definitely be making the trek to see them again, hopefully before they move! Such a unique space. read more
