    "Pepperoni" pizza with no toppings
    David R.

    This was some of the worst pizza I've ever had. We ordered two pizzas for delivery, one pepperoni and one mushroom. The pepperoni pie had zero pepperoni on it (even though we were charged) and the mushroom pie had a few small pieces of mushroom. The crust was nearly tasteless - like something you'd expect in a bad school cafeteria meal. Definitely not worth the price or the time.

    Slice of pizza

    Came in for a quick slice as I was in the neighborhood and was generally unimpressed. The place was spacious and empty when I came by, about 6:30. Pizza was almost cardboard-like and had a rubbery tasting cheese. Maybe I came in on a bad night, but I wasnt impressed. The garlic bread was okay, and the prices weren't bad for the area. Overall, not super impressed, but on a positive the guys working were nice and seemed to have fun, as they were singing to the music in the place.

    My friend was visiting from out of town and only had two hours in between meetings to come say Hi! He wanted to try a bunch of "Chicago food" and there wasn't one spot that I could decide on, so instead I chose to check out Primos because their menu looked HUGE. This popular lunch spot had everything I was looking for: pizza, Italian Beef, and pasta. Sure it all sounds overkill on the carby side, but this was exactly what my friend wanted. Not only was their menu vast but their portions and offerings were just as large as well. Nearly all the items come with some soup to accompany your already heavy meal. We ordered everything I listed above and enjoyed two spinach-chowders as a side. The chowder was pretty salty so we barely touched it to be honest. However, the real mission were the pizzas and Italian beef sandwiches. The thin crust pizza was decent and the Italian beef was the clear winner of the two. It's not as good as Al's or Porto's but I feel you get a much bigger portion here at Primos. Oh, we didn't end there. We also ordered their Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (yes we were crazy) which was toasted up in a tin tray. The piping hot pasta ended up being my favorite of the three main dishes that we ordered. In the future, I think I'll stick with either the pasta or the Italia beef. Overall, this is a great lunch spot if you're feeling indecisive and need a spot with plenty of options to choose from for affordable prices.

    About a mile walking distance from the Amtrak station. I had a brief layover and decided to walk to grab a bite to eat before my next departure. I called ahead and placed my order. Once I arrived my pizza was being pulled out of the oven. Fresh hot and ready. Service was attentive. Slices are HUGE. You have the option to have it sliced in half (like a regular pizza) or in small squares. EPIC. Decent spot to grab a bite to eat.

    A little gem in the west loop! If you are looking for an affordable place to eat while in the west loop, check them out. Great pizza, sandwiches and soup! My husband and I would come here often for lunch when he use to work in the west loop and the owners were always there working behind the counter. This was years ago, and I haven't seen them recently but very nice people. I recently came back when I was in the area and the food is still excellent! They have a great variety to choose from.

    We tried Primo's for the first time tonight and we were quite disappointed. Delivery was fast and the pizza was hot; however, we cannot rate it more than 2 stars. The pizza would have been 3.5 to 4 stars if, and this is a big if, it had sauce. We still want to try the pasta, but we won't be back for the pizza. -B

    If I could leave less than one star i would. I ordered a salad with no green peppers for $9 and received about a whole pepper cut up and places throughout my salad made of iceberg lettuce and some sliced tomato. Then for the "Chicago pizza." Now I'm not from here I'm from Las Vegas. This tasted like the shitty gas station pizza we would get while I was wasted. I wouldn't spend my money at thIs place ever again. And extremely disappointed I did in the first place.

    It's been a month since I flew to Chicago and tried this place, but it's absolutely a place you…read morecannot forget. Small spot you could casually pick up food and walk to if you're around downtown. Lots of cheese and sauce with a beautiful baguette to remind you that this place makes pizza too. Dough, cheese, and sauce are what this place really excels in. It's no surprise that they do it well across the board. Out of the sandwiches I tried, the gardinera pairs the best with the Drunken Chicken sandwich. I'm unsure if my hunger pangs were amplifying my experience, but this sandwich was something of legends... The ingredients combo into something a little too unfair to not be distributed to the rest of America. The food really feels special when you have it late night after a really long day of fun. The people are casual and nice and didn't make it awkward to eat there even though the place itself is quite small. Considering cops came in to order here out of all the places around, I can see how anyone could make this their staple spot.

    This one was a huge letdown! Been following known as for a while it was super excited to stop in…read morewhile traveling in Chicago. For starters I arrived at like 10:50 AM, they said they opened at 11. At like 1110 I'm looking around confused thinking maybe I missed something so I started checking their Instagram and see if maybe they had a last-minute closure. That was not the case at all they just opened about 15 minutes late that day for some reason. Once they finally open the doors and we get inside, I take a quick look at the menu in order the chicken Parm sandwich. The sandwich took about 10 minutes to come up. But I can say it was hot and seemed like they just cooked it fresh. I go to sit outside open it up take a bite absolutely zero seasoning Period I mean it has the breading on the chicken but I mean there's no kind of flavor in the breading so I taste this tomato sauce or the marinara that comes on the side that's just straight blended tomatoes, no salt, no sugar no spices no herbs nothing. I leave the food go inside ask for salt they end up giving me a small ramekin of salt. I go out and try seasoned the food so it's at least semi-edible. Unfortunately, top seasoning. Food is not the same as seasoning it along the way when you're prepping the food and so while I did help it a little bit it's still left a lot to be desired. I'm super disappointed that this is my experience because I had high hopes for this restaurant, I really wanted to enjoy a delicious sandwich instead, I received Some hot bland cutlets on bread. I don't know, maybe this is a bad day, maybe their delivery for season and didn't come in from their purveyor. I really don't know the issue. Maybe they got so busy. They forgot to season the food. All I know is at the end of the day. I paid the full price and got none of the seasoning that should've been on the food. Hell, I would've paid a little bit extra for it if I had to. Just highly disappointing because it was hot, the cheese was melted, it had the capability to be such a phenomenal sandwich, but it was really missing some key ingredients. Maybe then, being behind an open late should've been assigned that it was not gonna be their best performance. But after traveling across the country, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt because we all have bad days unfortunately, the day got worse than just opening a little bit late.

They offer a student and teacher discount during the week, but even without it, the prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food.

During November, you don't want to miss the thanksgiving sandwich. I'm looking forward to finally trying the gelato this summer.
