My family and I enjoy the pizza very much and think it's the best in the neighborhood. My complaint with them is their customer service. On more than one occasion we have ordered and been told the pizza will be ready in X minutes (this week it was 50 minutes). After the elapsed time we arrive to pick up the pizza only to find it hasn't even been made yet, so it will be another 20 minutes. I understand a place being busy, but if you tell me 50 minutes it should be ready in 50 minutes. I'm OK if you tell me when I order that its going to be 90 minutes. I went home and came back after 20 minutes and still had to wait another 5 before I got it. They will not make any concessions or give a discount for your troubles. I recommend calling before you go to pick it up, just to make sure it going to be ready. read more

By far has the best stuffed pizza that I have ever had. Been ordering from them for over 30 years. Also have pretty good chicken.

Nah...sorry.. I have to do an update. Their pizzas just arent consistent. The search continues....

Sausage/ green pepper was off the charts. Pizza joint that will take you back to the old days. Top notch!

Great pizza place, local and fast. Chicken is awesome as well. Never tried it before untill recently and I was hooked every Friday I'm there getting pizza.. read more

Everybody in Chicago has their favorite pizza. Everybody in Chicago has their favorite thin crust, thick crust or deep dish pizza. Everybody in Chicago has their favorite neighborhood, downtown and chain pizza joints. Obbies is my favorite pizza, thin crust, neighborhood pizza joint. They are fast, not expensive, and the pizza is outstanding. Pick up, or delivery. Neighborhood pizza joints come and go like the Chicago Cubs baseball seasons. Obbies has been around since the 70's. Why argue with success? Thin crust is the way to go. When you order a sausage pizza, you don't have to look for the meat. There is a ton of it. Ditto for the mushrooms or whatever toppings you choose. There is no skimping. The cheese and sauce covers the whole crust which is dusted with cornmeal to keep it easy to slide out of the oven. The oven has been the same one since I started coming here in the early 70's and I think that the oven is the secret. I have never had an undercooked pizza from Obbies. The sauce is on the sweet side and yes, if you order sausage there can be some grease - that would be because the sausage is fresh! Deal with it! If you live in the southwest side of Chicago - Summit, Clear Ridge or Garfield Ridge area - try Obbies when you are having the gang over to watch a game or if you just need a pizza fix. read more

The pizza is inconsistant ... depending on who's making it that day. But it's always been fairly good. Had a smartass delivery person tonight that stood at my door and argued about his tip. I think I'll try another place from now on. Good food - bad help! read more

In the midway area, the very best pizza. And I have tried them all! When ordering thin I get the Obbie's Special with easy on the onion. When going with the stuffed, I go with half sausage and half spinach. Have had their chicken dinner's and would order it again. read more

Obbie's Pizza - Thin - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

I've lived in Garfield Ridge for almost 10 years and sadly only started coming here the past few months. Saw them on Chicago's Best and decided to give it a try after seeing they use fresh ingredients (no canned mushrooms). Me and my family have been ADDICTED every since. We pace ourselves and order about every 2 weeks now lol. Best pizza in the neighborhood by far, a throwback spot that has lasted for a good reason. read more

Obbie's Pizza - Obbie's special - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Obbies, another South Side average Pizza joint with a faithful clientele. A very thin crust which I prefer, but they overload it with too much of everything. I understand that Chicagoans are bruttaly steadfast about getting a bargain, and this explains why most pizza places put one inch of toppings on 1/4 inch of pizza. I don't get it, I never will get it, in fact I refuse to get it. When ordering a Pizza you will be rewarded to stick to only two ingredients, this way you will taste the crust, sauce, and toppings. Then you will realize, this ain't all that. Unfortunately, whenever I get this pizza, someone else is doing the ordering, it comes with a salad bar of veggies and a couple of meats, this makes a difficult eating experience for me. The delivery is quite efficient, and they only take cash. read more

Best thin pizza in the Garfield/Clearing area! Place is an old mom and pops pizza joint that can use some upgrades. Staff is just okay. Nonetheless, Obbie's Pizza is so yummy!!!!!! read more

They cook the pizza on the crispy side and brown the cheese just a bit which is not an issue for me. It just adds to the flavor. I also ordered the buffalo wings too, they were a tad to greasy for my taste, but I came for the pizza, so I wont be holding it against them. Overall, they have a great pizza for a great price. read more

What can I say that my fellow Yelpers haven't already? The crust here is so thin it's almost invisible! Pretty tasty, though and the sauce isn't sweet at all. If you like a "crust handle" at the edge of your pizza, look elsewhere - Obbie's covers the entire crust with ingredients. Enjoy! read more

I realize that trying to get the average Yelper to venture to Garfield Ridge for pizza is like trying to get a member of the Workers of the World to read Ayn Rand (not that I recommend anyone read Ayn Rand), but I am going to give it the old college try. I used to have an apartment in Lyons and my dad and I decided to order pizza from here after a sox game. My dad assured me that this was the best pizza in Chicagoland (and he is a chef). I was skeptical as I am not sure any pizza beats a cold "Hot and ready" from the Little Caesars in Charleston,IL after a Keystone Light hangover, but I digress. We picked up the pizza from what was essentially a walk in closet with a cash register. We got it back to my apartment, and literally tore into it(it comes in paper wrapping). It was incredbile. I don't want to bore you with a bunch of metaphors, but suffice to say it was the best pizza I have had in Chicago. The crust was buttered perfect and the cheese was gooey enough but not too runny. So the next time you want a great pizza, give Gino's East the finger as you cruise on down to Garfield Ridge. I guarantee you won't regret it. read more

Excellent customer service. Brought out our pizza as we waited for extra crispy. Friendly pizza maker.

This place isn't a warm and friendly pizza place. They didn't do slices, they don't have tables, there are less chairs than a barber shop, and the pizza came in a paper bag on some cardboard. But who needs gimmicks and luxury when you have good pizza? If you want a no frills pizza that tastes good, this is your place. Pay and take it home. read more

The Best Pizza in Chicago! I've eaten pizza all over the world & nothing even compares to Obbie's. You'll be addicted after your first bite. - life long Obbie's inhaler read more

Please believe Ellen's review, as she has written mine before I could. The delivery was always prompt, the drivers courteous and the pizza superb. They offer the largest amount of fried mushrooms per order I have ever received. I've had everything on the menu besides the fish or the ribs, and it's all superb. Highly recommended!!!! read more

I have nothing to say but good things about this place. It was recommended by a friend that grew up in the neighborhood. It has the best thin crust sausage pizza that I think I've ever had. The crust is thin, crisp, and crackery. The sausage has plenty of fennel in it, and I love it. It's kind of greasy, but that's how I like it. I've also had their meatball sub which is equally awesome. Try this place! read more

Lately...for that past two maybe even three months, there hasnt been enough tomato sauce STEP IT UP

The best thin crust pizza! So amazing. Perfect sauce, cheese and crust. Delivery is always fast and comes hot. It's not just the best pizza in the area but also one of the best thin crust places I've ever had. Nothing around here compares to how good it is. I always get 1/2 cheese 1/2 sausage. This is the only place I eat sausage from because their sausage is that good. Ordered it tonight and ate way too much, I can't control myself around this pizza! read more

Great pizza, too bad they can't get their phones working. Been trying to call since 4pm and it's 6:30pm as I'm writing this and I still get a busy signal. I live just far enough away that it's not worth driving by to see if I can order a pizza and wait for it. Would love to give 5 stars but fix your phone and I'll gladly change my review. read more

Mmmmmm Obbie's! My favorite thin crust pizza in Chicago. As noted by the other reviewer, the pizza is well-done and delicious. Minus one star because they are usually a little behind. read more

Can't be beat- I've had pizza all over Chicago, the US & Italy. Hands down - you won't find a better pizza-pie...been going here since I was iddy-biddy. Sauce is balanced, sausage is bite size mild/sweet perfection. Just try it- you will be a loyal Obbies customer for the rest of your days. read more

I called for a delivery and some how they got the wrong address the delivery guy was very very rude the manager was no help at alll never will I order from them again good pizza but rude service read more

My husband and I decided to try a new pizza place. I called and ordered a sausage and peperoni pizza. The guy on the phone was very nice. My husband picked up the pizza and he said the place looked like a hole in the wall. Sometimes those low frills places produce the best food. The pizza was average. I like thin crust to be crunchy and the crust was soggy. It was also very greasy. Middle of the road pizza not the best and not the worst. I will give them another try. read more

Obbie's Pizza - Very greasy but not bad pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Been ordering here for over 30 years. THEE best pizza on the south side, hands down. I know there's lots of debate, but this place is tops. I would ignore the haters here and check this place out. There's a reason why it's lasted over 40 years and they are always busy- it's a classic pizza joint with no frills, no decor, or need to impress you with anything else but the taste of it's food. read more

I'm from this neighborhood and Obbie's has been my family's one and only place for pizza for as far back as I can remember. They have both amazing thin crust as well as deep dish. They make the pizzas right there in front of the window/behind the counter, and it's almost always the same guys/gals making them for years! Im not a huge sausage fan- but if someone orders it, it's hard for me to pass up a few pieces. (Their sausage is delicious). FYI It's only good for pickup or delivery- small inside with no place to sit and eat. read more

The have excellent pizza the prices some people say are high, but I believe you get what you pay for. I would rather pay a higher price and get great pizza. And they have great pizza. They also have good delivery here. read more

Been a local favorite of mine for 25 years. Obbies is one of a kind and I'll never stop going here

Whenever I venture home for a visit (God how I miss Chicago) I always attempt to eat as much Calorie/cholesterol yummy goodness this great city has to offer! I'm a stickler on Pizza and I hate to say that Washington DC has by far the worst pizza in the world..... that's why I was delighted to go home and try Obbie's for the first time....I typically go to Giordano/ Gino/ Rosati's (i promise you Giordanos is a gold mine compared to pizza hut which is all over DC-eww). ANYWAYS.... I give every last thanks to Greg for enlightening me with this superbly delish pie! the crust was thin, which is great! The sauce was great and not overpowering. The toppings were fresh and tasty. I actually ended up grabbing some Tupperware and taking my leftovers back to DC with me! So yeah if you want some good pizza....you may just have to drive to Garfield Ridge for it! Family owned-good as hell! :o) read more

After Danny's closed we needed a neighborhood pizza place. This place is spot on!!! Quick & great tasting!!! You need to have the pizza well done !! read more

Got off a flight from Midway and was hungry some for some pizza. If you're looking for a great greasy in a good way pizza this is the place. What a great find. I paid 10 bucks for a small pizza. I got home to the south suburbs and my daughter wanted a pizza. I polished off the small in the car on the ride home.I paid over 16 bucks for A much lesser pizza. This is gonna be my new go to place when I'm in the area read more

I order from here all the time. Their food is good if you can wait 2 hrs for a pizza. I understand weekends they are a little busier, but 2 hours. They need to add more ovens or add more drivers. There are plenty more options for pizza that do not take 2 hrs for a pizza. read more

Now here is one of the best places for pizza. Nice thin crust, tasty toppings, great service & delivery. Will always recommend Obbies for pizza. Great price too! read more

I love Obbie's pizza! I have never been disappointed by any pizza that I've had from here. Their broasted chicken is amazing as well! My household prefers deep-dish pizza and Obbie's beats Giordano's hands down. There is plenty of cheese and their crust is NOT super thick and doughy, like some of their competitors. The mushrooms and spinach here rock. I'm so glad that there is such an awesome neighborhood place so close to me! Thanks for all the great dinner, Obbie's! Keep 'em coming! read more

Great flavor and awesome thin crust, tried the sausage pizza delivery was also relatively quick.

Best pizza in Chicago!!!! Always consistent and delicious. Would highly recommend the thin crust-it's their specialty.

Large sausage and green pepper well done. Obbies is my favorite, with quick delivery(40 minutes after order was placed) and the driver is so nice ! I have tried other pizza places in the area but I like Obbies the most! I also recommend the breaded mushrooms 1 lb for 5 bucks ! read more

The deep dish is good when it's cooked well, however it's inconsistent. The last pizza I got was almost entirely raw dough, with a thin layer of cooked crust :( read more
