Ordered their monster slice and 6 piece spicy wings the food was great but the ranch on the other hand was a bit questionable, it was pretty watery but the wings tastes great alone. read more

Pizza is even worse than I remember. fries the only thing they got right. service is what it is. the vibe of papa rays is like a dead 4am bar open in the daytime. read more

Papa Ray's is a solid spot for pizza if you're looking for a big slice without breaking the bank. The slices are huge, the flavor is decent, and the price is very reasonable. The fries are also surprisingly good -- crispy and well seasoned. Overall, it's a reliable spot for a quick, satisfying meal without any fuss. read more

Total junk place, they used to be good and really great pizza then the place just went downhill so fast. Bad customer service who is ok hanging up on customers and just no absolutely no food. Go to Sarpinos or Pats 2, or even dominos instead. Bad customer service, bad delivery, rude people, find pizza elsewhere. read more

The biggest issue I have, they play this Spanish music blasting.. I feel like I'm in a Mexican Restaurant. This is why I don't like dining in there anymore. I rarely ever hear them play music in English. It's very selfish to your customers. I now go to Pequods in Old Town, at least they play music in English. read more

I've had their wings two times and each time I got really sick. Their pizza is pretty mid also

The cashier refused to give me a cup for water and instead reminded me they sell bottles. And I can assure you she knows I've been coming here for years. Made no difference. I will do my best to not return. Good slices but clearly no regard for customers read more

I've been eating Papa Ray's for a couple of years but it was at the location that is now closed, on Sheridan in Uptown. I was happy to discover another location. The service was very nice and the guy ringing us up was helpful. The restaurant was clean with a nice amount of seating. They have slot machines, which is taking me a while to get used to seeing inside of Chicago restaurants and stores. I'm a lover of ribs and unfortunately these didn't do it for me, like the ones I used to love at the Uptown location. The ribs were just okay, a few tough pieces. The sauce was burnt so the flavor wasn't good. My husband liked the wings and my kids loved the pizza. I may give the ribs another try before I say I wouldn't recommend. I'll update my review if I go back. read more

Not the Papa Ray's of before. Shame. Order at location for takeout. Wings and a calzone. Waited 1 hour and 5 minutes while listening to the staff laughing and goofing around. I asked when will my order be ready. They said oh it's been ready we forgot to call your number. Really?! Then I get home hangry and surprise missing part of the order and food is cold. 3 stars since I called and they tried to make it right but the food doesn't seem worth it anymore. My son liked his room temperature calzone. read more

Wings, Wings, Wings! My family and I love eating here since the wings are always fresh and flavorful. The Tuesday special offers wings for only 50 cents each, so you'll find me there with a 20-piece order and four different flavors including garlic parmesan and mango habanero for only 10 dollars! Hence, the size and quality of the wings are really great- they're not your average small wings, but big-back ones that we all love! The service is friendly, from the person at the counter to the cooks in the back. The seating area is spacious, although it can get a little crowded later in the night. However, most people are just in and out. My family's favorite spot! read more

I've been coming to this spot since 2016 -- that's nine years of loyalty. Back then, their suicide wings were unbelievably spicy and so worth the drive. Over the years, though, both the flavor and the service have gone downhill, and this past Saturday night really confirmed it. My grandma is visiting from out of town and wanted these wings one last time before she left, so we made the 40-minute drive. I even placed my order 20 minutes before arriving, thinking it would be ready or close to ready. When we got there, the lady at the counter told me it'd be about 15 minutes, which I understood -- but 15 minutes turned into over 35 minutes, while people who ordered after me got their food first. When I asked about my order, the cashier tried to get the cooks' attention, but they completely ignored her. She apologized and said it might take another 15 minutes. Frustrated, I went up to the cooks myself, and one of them told me my food would be ready in about three minutes. So I waited again. While I was talking with my grandma about how disappointed I was, a man nearby (who I thought was just a regular customer) overheard and asked what was wrong. I told him I'd ordered a while ago and was still waiting. Not long after that, my food finally came out -- but there was no apology, no acknowledgment for the delay, and no accountability. After driving 40 minutes each way and waiting over 30 minutes in-store, it felt like they'd forgotten my order altogether. To top it off, the wings just aren't the same anymore -- not spicy, not fresh, and honestly not worth the drive. I never thought I'd say this after nine years, but I'm really disappointed in how much this place has changed. I was around when it was .50$ TRADITIONAL wings were around-- yea FOREVER ago. read more

The crust is actually fantastic but the cheese taste like it's from the dollar store :/

This is a neighborhood pizza place with a decidedly upscale menu but retaining the family-friendly prices and portions. Of course there are great coupons (free cheesy bread!) and daily specials on all the favorites you would expect from a Chicago pizza joint but there are also creative pizza concoctions that will whet your appetite and not disappoint. Prices are surprisingly reasonable compared with other superior-pizza options on Chicago's North Side. read more

The food here is AMAZING. Always hot and fresh and all the food is made to order. I got some wings, fries and the large cheesy garlic bread. This place has some of the best wings in the city. Love their spicy sauce of the wings. Staff is kind and the inside is very clean despite it being 11 PM. They need another location up north. R.I.P. the Uptown location! read more

I'm giving this place four stars because the customer service is extremely admirable. LOL but I ordered a supreme slice of pizza, which I steadily questioned them how on earth were they going to make a slice of pizza that was already made into supreme. They told me not to worry about it. Well let's just say thank goodness I didn't spend my on money on this excursion. Lol as a matter of fact some random guy who is outside also about to go to the pizza shop decided to treat me to my own slice of pizza as well, after deserting me with me and his slice of the exact same supreme slice of pizza. The funny thing about this supreme pizza is that they literally just threw a bunch of very large slice RAW toppings on top of a pizza that was already done. I'm not going to complain however because my pizza was free and the toppings which I love vegetables were still just as good mixed in with the already done pizza crust cheese and pepperoni. read more

Check your receipt because the price on the wall is incorrect. When confronted with problem cashier points to wall and says "price subject to change" If you are gonna raise the prices you can afford a new sign. Am I right? Pizza is just okay, nothing to write home about. read more

I've always been a huge fan of Papa Ray's pizza but their hidden gem, their secret weapon, is their calzones! They are massive in size and super cheap - $8.49 for 4 ingredients beyond cheese and big enough for two meals. The crust is the perfect combination of chewy and crispy and the pepperoni and sausage are delicious. Furthermore, Papa has a slice of chocolate cake for $6 that has no business being as good as it is. It is moist and chocolaty with frosting that is not at all cloying and sweet. A decadent and insanely rich dessert, it is big enough for 4 servings, unless you are an irredeemable chocoholic. And if you are, believe me, that's OK - this is a judgment free review. Easy online ordering and delivery throughout Avondale - an excellent option when the usual pizza just isn't cutting it. read more

I tried this place for mother's day, I know WRONG day to try a place out. Although the guys that answered the phone were pleasant. We were disappointed with the taste, it hardly had any flavor to it. I originally want Italian sausage but SUBSTITUTING with chicken. Keyword "SUBSTITUTE",when I called back I asked ezz mushrooms. Hm.mm Wait! You said Chicken..bottom line...DID NOT CARE FOR PIZZA. Also don't like premade pizza from restaurants, as that's what I was told. ‍Thank you though. read more

Pizza is thicker, softer chewier than the typical thin tavern pies, its a nice changeup. Slices are cut into big triangles, they are generous with cheese and sauce. This place also makes good wings if you are feeling like it, they taste like how a buffalo wing should. read more

Braved the elements to stop later in the evening and the wings were more than worth it. Made fresh with the perfect amount of breading and attention to detail that goes into great wings.

I order from here a lot and every time I order for delivery something is always wrong with my pizza. When you go in store your food is alway right but once you order for delivery it's like they just don't care for their customers who order online. They wonder why I do not tip. Just look at the picture I uploaded. Horrible. When I called in to complain the girl who answered the phone had me on hold for 15 minutes and then I finally got to talk to a manager. At this point I was already furious because I just wanted to eat my food and go to sleep. But no he suggested that he remake my pizza and the pizza would make it to me in 20 minutes. I wanted to ask for a refund but the last time I asked for a refund when they gave me uncooked sausage the previous manager acted like he didn't want to refund me. And I had no time to be arguing with anyone so I agreed to them sending me another pizza by the way it was passed midnight already. It was 12:30 when the new pizza arrived and by that time I didn't even want to eat the pizza anymore I put the pizza in the fridge and went to sleep. It's still sitting in my fridge untouched. read more

Papa Ray's Pizza & Wings - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Warm, summer evening so didn't feel like cooking. Thunderstorm rolling in, so didn't feel like going out either. Browsed through my drawer of menus and decided to give Papa Ray's a chance. Turned out to be a decent decision. I ordered the rib tips with fries. Tips were good with a tangy sauce. I was happy with my choice of ordering the fries well done. I hate soggy fries and they arrived perfectly crisped but not burnt. I also ordered the cheese bread which was just ok, nothing spectacular even though I added asiago cheese and bacon to it. Delivery guy was nice enough but I had to remind him about my soda which he had left in the car. He was quick about going back to his car and bringing it to me. I'm curious to how their pizza is, planning on ordering again. They have good coupons. read more

This place is THE place they have the wings they have the pizza it's open late what more could you ask for

For late night grub, it's as good as it gets. There aren't many fast food hubs that will do rib tips and still, do them well. Their food is decent though not consistent. I'm not sure why. Sometimes it's pretty damn good and other times it's passable. A pizza slice and a drink are the often combo, the drink is free and the cost is affordable. The size is much like a NY size slice or the size of a small pizza since that's the size of box that contains it. Service: The guys at the check counter are informative and relatable. But when grabbing food for takeout, if busy, always check your food. A previous experience left me clueless. I ordered by phone and upon entering found out that my food was given to some guys that ordered (inside) before me and somehow I got their food. The guys that work the food counter don't speak English as a first language and sometimes mix up orders..... Since there are numbers on the check, I don't get why this happens? For a place with the "late night" designation, it's pretty damn nice inside. Most locations are kept pretty clean. This is a bigger location, than some of its sister sites. Many of these Papa's are decorated the same with nice full size color photos of foods served. Decorative counter-tops that look like it could be knock-off granite or recycled material. Even the seating is ample, new looking and comfortable enough. It's hard to miss this address at night since its got a ton of neon lighting luring your eyes into their storefront. Late nights can be strange out here since there are a number of transients walking about asking for handouts. This is where the free drink comes handy, I don't drink soda so this becomes the easy handout. read more
