Great food. Great service. We've tried all their styles and signature pies. I love the meatball and ricotta. Very few places make that. My boys like the Detroit style with pepperoni. Last weekend we also ordered their panzerotti with Italian meats and cheese and the other one with sausage and peppers. Both were messy but tasted great. This is a great pizza place and we love it because it's not a chain. read more

The thin crust buffalo chicken was good, I wouldn't make a trip for it but if others wanted to go there I would get it and be happy. The buffalo sauce was good and the pizza was enjoyable to eat. The Detroit style pizza wasn't good, I was extremely disappointed because I love Detroit style. It was over cooked, simple as that. The crust was burnt and the thick crust tasted over cooked. I got the philly cheese steak with extra mushrooms (no chance there were extra mushrooms) and it was disappointing all around. read more

Even though I am a native North Sider, (Lakeview neighborhood), I've been a HUGE fan of Vito & Nick's on South Pulaski for DECADES.... Tonight, however, I was introduced to Pizzaboy... HOLY CRAP!!! 1: Jalapeño Poppers were on point. Not too oily on the inside, well seasoned and not drowning in grease on the outside. 2: Cherry Bombs??? YES, PLEASE!!! They were flavorful, NOT oily, and ...as the kids used to say...THE BOMB...the name fits. It was spectacular. 3: The Edison Park Deluxe...FANTASTIC!!! Although, I would liked the extra thin crust to be a bit more crispy...(maybe some more cornmeal underneath the dough in the oven?) but the ingredients were all top quality and it showed in the flavor. 4: Margherita: No idea...that was my wife's...but she said it was "VERY GOOD", and she is NOT easy to please. (after 31 years of marriage, I know that VERY well...and have mastered it...so for the Piza to earn VERY GOOD from her...BRAVO. Will DEFINITELY be back! I would've posted pics of the food, but I was hungry and dove right in... read more

Pizzaboy - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered through the slice app. Normally their pizza is amazing. This time it was way over cooked which made it hard and very dry. It tasted burnt. When I requested assistance through Slice they said the restaurant would only authorize a 50% pizza price refund. So basically Pizzaboy does not stand by their product and do not care if they lose customers. It's sad be because it was always so good. Update: I just received a call from the store. It turns out it was my fault because I did not call them direct. So for caring so much I gave him a two star review. But he did retract my refund he said, and then hung up the phone on me. So apparently it's my fault that they made a bad pizza today. It's sad because I love to support small businesses, but that's not how you run a business unfortunately. read more

This place is awesome ! We ordered take out but wow the portion size is very generous and it's one of the places in the city where you can get Detroit style pizza ! We got the "Don" Detroit style and it was delicious with the hot honey! We added the red chilli pepper on top n it's was perfect and very nice dough ! Also the portions are huge so well worth the 30 dollars for 2-3 ppl! We also tried the wings n got the mango Haberno and portions are also gigantic as well! Well worth 13 bucks for 10 wings ! The house salad is a good pairing as well. We usually go to Pauli g for Detroit style pizza but this is gonna be one of new fav places to also go as well! read more

I'm not sure what happened...we loved pizza boy and ordered from here all the time. The last few times have been so disappointing. We ordered delivery this past Friday and was told it would be 45minutes to an hour...an hour and 15 minutes later we called to see where our pizza was...we were told it's on the way...we got it finally, an hour and a half after we ordered it! This has happened often when we ordered delivery. The pizza had little to no flavor, and the cheese curds are not as good as they once were... I like to spend my $ on neighborhood restaurants, but I don't know if we can order from here again. The worst was ordering the cheese curds the other night and finding fried/breaded mushrooms mixed in. My children were not happy. My husband thought it was bad cheese until I looked closely and could smell the mushroom.... Just disappointed in the decline of food quality read more

Pizza was okay. We just picked from the ready made slices available that day. My kids enjoyed their thin crust pizzas. I had a nonna's pie. It was very crispy and had hot honey drizzled. It's a very large space with good amount of seating. It looks like they also have a party room. The service was very good. read more

Horrible service. The owner doesn't know how to run a business. He's arrogant. The staff is clearly not trained properly. Waited almost 30 minutes for 2 slices of pizza for them to just get the order wrong. Wanted our money back and the wannabe Italian owner came at us with anger like it was our fault the staff messed up our order. Instead of just apologizing and making the situation better he added hostility. I feel bad for the counter girls that have to work for him. You can tell he degrades the poor staff. Never going back. Clown show. Mediocre pizza at best. read more

This place was 1000009/10 the service was phenomenal and the food was on point ! The made sure the food was fresh and we even stopped next door to go to the bar and they made sure to come out and tell us that our food was ready for pickup. The workers were very passionate about their job, and making sure that customers (us) were happy. Wholeheartedly recommend this place: Food 1000/10 Ambiance 1000/10 Service 1000/10 Thank you for making the start of my birthday weekend amazing. read more

I'm so glad we decided to order from here! I wasn't sure, to be honest. I don't think of Edison Park as a hotbed of great pizza, especially a place that seems like it's out to be hip and instaworthy, but that's my mistake. I wanted to try the Detroit style pizza, which I've only had once in Detroit and didn't know there were places around here that made it. We got the Sweetheat. Pineapple was a favorite pizza topping when I was little, but I haven't been as keen on it in many years; however, it worked really well on this pizza. I've never had banana peppers, but the ingredients of this pizza are a great combination. In the Detroit style version it comes with hot honey as well, but we decided to leave it out since honey isn't something I'm especially fond of and we wanted to keep the possible mess to a minimum. I'd be curious to try it sometime with the honey, though I doubt they sell it by the slice... perhaps if I order again I'll ask for the honey only on part of the pizza. We also ordered some appetizers, fried mushrooms and garlic knots. Neither were great. I think I misunderstood and thought the garlic knots had cheese in them. And the mushrooms aren't my thing but they unexpectedly came with a dusting of parmesan cheese, which my partner doesn't like, so we had to pick around that and only about half of it was eaten. Definitely would skip the garlic knots next time and possibly the mushrooms (or at least ask that they leave the garnish off). They delivered, which thrilled me since I didn't want to have to go pick it up, especially now that the time change has occurred and it gets dark at 2pm (I feel like it's time to hibernate once the sun goes down). The estimate I was given was almost two hours, which I was actually fine with since it was a Friday night and it wouldn't surprise me that they'd be busy, but it came within an hour so that was another happy surprise. If you're a pizza connoisseur or just want to try something new, Pizzaboy is worth your time. read more

PIZZA LOVERS BEWARE!!! The Detroit pizza which I was told they are famous for was horrible!! My pizza was burnt on the bottom and it tasted like burnt olive oil, they overcooked it so much that it wasn't even cheesy.It was dry. We paid extra money to have extra pepperoni. Put on the Pizza as you can clearly see, it was not there. The second pizza ordered was a vodka sauce pizza with sausage, roasted, red pepper and garlic. When you lift it up the cheese, you couldn't even find the vodka sauce on there, this pizza was extremely greasy! I called the establishment and asked if I could speak to a manager, the gentleman that got on the phone happened to be the owner. I tried to explain to him everything going on with the pizza, he offered to make us a new one. But at this point, why would we want another Pizza? When we had everybody that was here who had a couple pieces and weren't happy with it. My son at this point was very upset. Because we spent $73 for these 2 pizzas. We asked the gentleman if we could just get some money credited back to our card Since it was a failure. My son was in the background, talking about how he had detroit style pizza from jets, and it was ten times better. The owner I guess was upset by hearing this because he ended up hanging up on me. I think this was a very unprofessional manner.And attitude that this gentleman had with me.Stating and being an owner! His excuse for the pizza being that way is that he didn't make it because he had to run out and make some pizza deliveries. Well I suggest if you're gonna leave other people in the kitchen to cook your pizzas that they should know how to cook a pizza!! Save your money people!! read more

Dropped by for some thin crust slices and couldn't have been more surprised by the quality. Nice crunch, saltiness, good chew from the cheese. The thin crust is a must and the only thing I would be returning for. The deep dish I found to be too heavy and you're just eating the bread. Garlic knots had good flavor, but once again, too much bread. Stick with the thin crust and you'll be rewarded with the perfect ratio of crust to topping and a satisfying crunch. read more

Their pizza is solid, but the crust is so thin that a grown man can eat a large on his own. But that's not why i'm leaving a review...They should start calling their meatballs "breadcrumb balls". The consistency is dense mush; and i can't taste or feel any ground meat. Pizza: B Salads: C Meatballs: D Wings: A+ read more

This place has great pizza, including a super thin crust that is thinner than a tortilla and yet still stands up to the sauce and cheese. It's not listed on their online menu but you can see it on their sit down menu. I had one of their ready slices which was very good they had a pretty decent selection at the front and it included a good variety including a NY style, a pan option, and a Detroit style. There was so much I wanted to try, including the Panzerotti and garlic knots we'll definitely have to come back. There was plenty of street parking when we got there but it seemed to fill up pretty quickly as dinner time rolled by as there are a number of other bars and restaurants in the area. Service was very friendly! read more

I got a Detroit style pizza and let me tell you I was shocked. Not by the flavor, which was mediocre and greasy, but from what I pulled out of my mouth after a single bite. A long black hair. I called the establishment and the lady who answered shocked me with her horrible and nasty attitude. She immediately told me what happened was impossible and kept repeating this. I laughed out of shock because I did not expect for an employee to try and gaslight me into thinking I have a wild imagination. What happened to good customer service? What happened to employees being taught the phrase, " the customer is always right"? The lady who was on the phone with me told me the chefs always wear hairnets, but let me tell you that is a lie. I have heard from multiple people, who are customers and even past employees the chefs have never once wore hairnets. This makes me believe they don't even know what a hairnet is nor what a clean kitchen is. During this unpleasant call I told the lady I can come back and prove to her there is in fact a strand in hair in the pizza to which she chose to hang up on me. Will I ever come back here? Definitely not. Also before you ask, what if it was my hair, I am a bleach blonde. Pizzaboy, or Pizza-avoid. read more

I've had really good pizza here before and then - I came in the other day and said hey you guys have sandwiches too right? The guy behind the counter said "Yeah, the BEST sandwiches!" OMG he was right. Especially...the eggplant parm we ordered. Warm, toasty in all the right places and soft in the middle, delish marinara saucey, and the eggplant (kisses fingertips - MWWUAH!) made JUST right. I'm DREAMING of that damn sandwich. I gotta go back and get more MORE MORE I tells ya! If you're reading this and going to Pizzaboy, you better get one and mangia mangia! read more

The pizza was good. Typical crispy crust pizza with pretty decent ingredients. I personally didn't enjoy the waffle fries with cheese and marinara sauce. Their version of loaded fries. The wings were actually very good. I highly recommend them. The only thing I can complain about was the price. 2 pies, wings and side order of fries was $90. Not the best pricing but understandable in the location. read more

We needed to grab a bite before going to Firewater to see a music act. We loved the fast service and the flash heating of the pizza by the slice. (Mmm!) Good value for the money--if you are a bit grease averse, dab this pizza with a few napkins. But good either way. We enjoyed the crunchy crust and great toppings and cheese! Counter service was attentive-- you can eat in or take out. Try it and you won't be dissatisfied. Trust me! read more

8/25/22 HAPPY UPDATE information for AAdvantage Dining members: Apparently, Pizzaboy is part of the American Airlines AAdvantage® miles, and since I paid with my connected credit card, I rec'd AA points! Thanks, Pizzaboy. I LOVE that you are part of this awesome program! It was a great surprise email to receive from AA. We will definitely travel out again because this makes it even more worth the trip! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, maybe you've seen Smothered on TLC? I have watched it, and the restaurant owners and family are featured on the show. So, we (my cousin and I) decided to head to Edison Park and grab some food. First, great location. On the SE corner of Northwest Ave and Oliphant, great parking options, and it's just the best part of the neighborhood. (I was born just a few blocks away.) My cousin was hoping to meet Carlo and Christina, the owners. I was just happy to take the photos for Yelp! LOL We arrived around 6pm. It was actually pretty empty, but to be fair, it was a Wednesday night. Pizzaboy's menu is extensive. We placed our food order with Maeve, who was super-kind behind the counter. I informed her about my food allergies. She had to ask about the oil used, and out popped Carlo! What a very nice guy. We went over the allergies, and I was fine. I ordered their curly fries and eggplant parmesan (sans cheese). My cousin ordered the garden salad with a new york style BBQ chicken pizza. We grabbed our table. The restaurant was so clean. I notice that kind of stuff. Maeve brought out our food. The salad was huge. We could not finish it. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion. The croutons were excellent too. Then Maeve brought out us our main plates. My sandwich was thick and a generous portion. Yikes! A lot of food! The sandwich was delicious, though. The eggplant was cooked perfectly. The Italian bread used was soft yet crunchy. The curly fries were more than the two of us could eat. Think of Checker's french fries, but I think waaaaaay better. The seasoning was fantastic! My cousin enjoyed her BBQ chicken pizza, saying she would travel to get it again. She did say it was a thick pizza, too, and she could have used a bigger knife to split it in half. Not in a complaining way, but a "holy crap, this is a large piece" type of way. We capped off our dinner with fried dough. I'm not a fried dough eater, but my cousin wanted to try theirs. OMG! They were OUTSTANDING! Like crave-worthy. The portion was a lot. The dough was soft, and they were covered in powdered sugar and a chocolate sauce of some kind. I had to reassess my life and diet as someone who does not eat sweets as the norm. Just delicious. I definitely gave our visit 5 stars. Clean, great service, really good food, truly impressive. Mangia! read more

First time here, but definitely going back! Ordered a thin crust and a salad for pickup - and a first for me, they called and said my order could be ready earlier than the time the ordering app gave me. Nice touch! Pizza was great, crispy and chewy! Tasty toppings - garlic, onions, pepperoni and sausage. They definitely don't skim on toppings either. One of the best thin crusts I've had in a long time. Salad was really good too - fresh and the creamy garlic dressing was great. Looking forward to exploring more of their offerings. read more
