    "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

    Food it delicious! Fast and friendly service. Old Chicago. You can get pizza by the slide or whole. Delicious hot and cold subs. Don't miss out on this chicago gem

    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 was mid-afternoon when we visited and I'd gone online to make a reservation prior to our visit, but that wasn't really necessary. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and shown to a booth in the back room...far away from the cold draft of the front door. Our server came over to take our drink orders right away and we ordered a Caesar salad to share. I found it odd that their Caesar comes with tomatoes, but it must be a Chicago thing because I saw that on the menu of another pizzeria that we visited while in town. The salad was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of it. We also ordered a small pepperoni pie (deep dish) and were surprised at just how small it was. It was almost like a personal size...but let me tell you, the personal size is tiny! One slice of the small pie nearly took up the space of the entire personal sized pie that we took home with us. While in-store, I signed up for their rewards program and got a coupon for a free personal sized pie, with some stipulations. It was to-go only and you had to spend at least $10, but our dine-in order could not count towards that total. It had to be processed as a separate transaction. That was no problem for us since we were headed back to our hotel and had a full kitchen there, we decided to order wings along with our free baby-sized pie to-go. The wings were phenomenal. Top tier. A+. Highly recommend! I actually preferred the sausage pie that we took home over the pepperoni pie, and that's not usually my vibe. I think something about the grease in the sausage lends itself to the moisture of the pie. The pepperoni pie was a little dry. Overall, we loved the atmosphere and the service, so we would definitely come back again in the future.

Creamy, fresh, flavorful -- the kind of appetizer you immediately wish was twice the size because it disappears way too fast And then THE PIZZA.
