    Caesar salad
    Jason S.

    Tried Ranallis for the first time last night and it was a solid dinner choice. I ordered their 12-inch hot honey sopressata with ricotta on thin crust, plus an individual Caesar salad. Portion-wise, it was a perfect meal for one person. The pizza really hit the spot--exactly what I was craving. Not the best thin crust I've ever had, but definitely really good, and I'm glad I went with one of their popular options. The hot honey and soppressata paired with the ricotta was a great combo and made the whole thing come together. The Caesar salad was just okay, but it satisfied the craving. Overall, I'd absolutely try Rinaldi's again, and I'm looking forward to stopping in person next time to check out the bar.

    Seasoned French Fries SO GOOD YOU MUST GET THEM! They came with ketchup and truffle aioli
    Melissa M.

    Came here on marathon day for a break between cheering on runners! We shared the margherita pizza and seasoned fries, and I got a coke. The pizza was sooo good and garlicky. The fries were amazing! At first I thought it was funny that the specified "seasoned" on the menu, but the fries really were seasoned with some secret salt/pepper/sugar combination that was addicting. And maybe I was tired and thirsty but they had the best coke ever. Service was great especially considering the crowd. There was a nice mix of adult groups and families dining in. There were TVs at the booths showing the sports of the day. Restrooms were clean. You can pay at your table without having to wait for your server which was convenient. Thanks, Ranalli's! You hit the spot.

    Toasted Bolognese Ravioli
    Sagarika G.

    Ranalli's is the perfect spot in West Loop to grab a bite before a night out--or after--since they're open late. The vibe is fun, casual, and exactly what you want when you're out with friends! The service was phenomenal--seriously, some of the most attentive and welcoming staff I've had in the city. They kept the energy high and the drinks flowing!! We split a half jalapeño + pepperoni, half sausage + green pepper pizza, and it hit the spot. The crust leaned on the soggier side, but the flavors still came through and made it delicious. The toasted ravioli was another win--crispy, cheesy, and the perfect appetizer to share! With good food, great drinks, and even better service, Ranalli's is a solid go-to. Whether you're starting the night or wrapping it up, you can't go wrong here!

    We shared these tavern style pizza: Hot Honey Soppressata - whipped ricotta, soppressata, roasted tomato, hot honey Ranalli's Special - italian sausage, mushrooms, onions, green peppers Not the best tavern style I would take tourists to but solid, affordable, go-to bar pizza when you're craving it. Good spread and flavor of toppings; crust could be crispier. No issues with service. Terribly loud inside.

    Gluten Free 11inch Thin Crust - Hawaiian
    Anna S.

    It gets crowded in there, looks like a fun place to go before you head to a United Center game! They even provide shuttles that take you to United Center. They're known for their thin crust pizza, more so than the pan style (per the host). My fellow diner went with the pan style, "looked good, tasted okay." I had the Gluten Free 11inch Thin Crust - Hawaiian. I really loved the toppings on their take of Hawaiian: habanero BBQ, honey baked ham, smoked gouda cheese, thai basil, grilled pineapple. It was good, but I've had better crusts. The toppings/cheese slid off the crust as I ate it, so it wasn't as cohesive. The nice thing is that the gluten free crust is only an additional dollar, and just one inch less in size. Looks like they've got salads, appetizers, sandwiches as well. I would go there to watch a game in the future!

    Went here for a march madness game on a sunday and it was busy! The service was pretty quick which was surprising. We started off with the calamari for an appetizer which was pretty average. Then we got the hot honey soppressata pizza which was mid. Overall was not very impressed with the food. There is definitely better pizza places in Chicago. The bill was also rather expensive for a couple drinks each and food.

    Nice setup w sports tvs

    Chef Alvaro is a great chef. We really love the pizza and the raviolis that are fried and the red sauce is really good and it's also sweet. The pizza is really thin crust and crispy, and if you buy a pizza with toppings, they lay on the toppings and it's amazing to enjoy your favorite stuff carefully laid out all over the pizza grid including putting mozzarella cheese very close to the crust which most pizza makers don't do. I tend to think that chefs like Alvaro really take such good care of making the pizza bc it takes time to add cheese so close to the crust. Thank you! The fried raviolis for $15 (not a lot of good at 5 pieces) were good but I didn't like the batter bc it was thick and grainy. I would have preferred a lighter batter. But the dipping sauces were good! Love the sports bar atmosphere and tons of ppl come here after United games too. Seats are comfy. Our waitress Dani was very sweet and attentive. Thank you! Street parking only and it's $4.75 per hour and the meters stop at 10pm.

    Margherita Pizza
    Richard Y.

    Stopped by before a show at the UC -- the staff was so accommodating-- we didn't want to wait so they set us up outside with heat lamps. Our server was super friendly and prompt-- we thoroughly enjoyed our calamari, salad and entrees-- the margarita pizza and chicken parm sandwich. All the food came out surprisingly quickly and all at the perfect temps. The chicken parm sandwich was excellent -- thin, crispy, with the right amount of cheese and sauce-- the focaccia it was on was perfectly crispy. And the thin cut sweet potato fries? Spot on. We'll be back!

    Where do I start. Clean and casual right when you walk in. The smells in the air were so inviting. Service was prompt and polite. The Cabernet with the pizza was a perfect combination for me. The pizza got the extra star for sure!

    Hot Honey Soppressata
    Melissa B.

    Ordered for take-out through DoorDash so I won't comment on the environment of the location, however I was compelled to review because of the level of costumer service this spot has. I put in the notes of my order to change one of the Soppressata pizzas I ordered made with pepperoni instead of their usual hard salami ham they use, fully convinced they would just ignore the note as a lot of other places do when ordering takeout. However I was more than pleasantly surprised to see they listened to my request! Automatic brownie points in my book. Also, to make a good thing even sweeter, their pizza was amazing! The Soppressata pizza was actually a bit spicy, and the one we had made with pepperoni was a lot more mild if anyone is worried they couldn't handle the OG. Can't wait to come back in person and try more of their specialty pizzas!

    Skillet Cookie
    Sarah W.

    We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop in here on Friday night and had an easy time getting a table. The decor is pretty sleek and modern, very comfortable chairs. Loved the tavern cut pizza, it was a bit spicy so having the Caesar salad on the side was a good choice. The waitress told us how good the skillet cookie is and it didn't disappoint. Considering the price the beer could've been better/colder, they were almost warm.

    Dill Pickle Pizza, large Greek Salad, Chicken Tenders, Toasted Bolognese Ravioli
    Clara S.

    Such a fun spot pre-united center events! Came here before a Blackhawks game and was thrilled with the energy of all the folks in Blackhawks attire. Took advantage of the fun free shuttle to the game after our meal as well. Service was quick and prompt. We shared a dill pickle pizza, jumbo chicken tenders, large Greek salad, and toasted ravioli. Everything was delicious though the Greek salad dressing was too sour and overpowering so we barely ate that. My spicy margarita went down well with this meal. A fun time for the big group!

Clean and well-organized place with about 8 TV's and bar and table seating. Drinks were great and the wine list is very good. Mid-priced and higher end wines. My Favorite Neighbor is the upper end Cab at $25 a glass. It's excellent. Didn't eat, but food menu looked good. Seemed like an earnest guy trying to bring a good experience into the neighborhood!

There is an upstairs area that's a little more loungier whereas the downstairs can get more rowdy on game day. We came during the championship game, and this was the perfect spot to be. We came early to be able to snag some bar seats upstairs and enjoy multiple drinks and food. Drinks are great - some cocktails and beers are only offered downstairs. Food was a mix: Chimichurri cauliflower: smaller portion than I expected, nothing special I'd skip this dish. Ceasar salad: dressing is very heavy on the anchovy paste, otherwise good portion and veggies. Loaded fries: huge portion with lots of great toppings, though I wish their fries were more 'fry' like versus potato skin-like. Chicken tenders: I got this with sweet potato fries, and they were way too salty. The chicken tenders were 4 skimpy pieces of chicken, and I was charged for extra dipping sauces and ketchup. The spicy mango habanero and buffalo are good - skip the garlic parmesan. I will most definitely be back for the vibes, drinks, and service. I'm hoping the food is just working on some kinks and will get better the next time!

    Kari's Rating 8.5/10…read more TLDR: -Sports themed bar with many TVs -Interesting variety of appetizers -Bathrooms look like a prison Came in for drinks about 6:30pm on a Wednesday and it wasn't too crowded since it was a bit early. I think there were some kind of corporate happy hour happening in the back, but a friend and myself just came in for quick drinks. I usually don't drink on the weekdays, so I ended up just getting an iced tea and him a tequila soda, but because I don't drink, we decided to get an appetizer and we browsed the menu for a minute and ended up splitting the Parmesan chicken egg rolls. Truthfully, I really just wanted to see what that would entail because it seemed a little disgusting or maybe even some kind of high-food, but to my surprise, it was actually a really crispy skinned pizza roll. I'm pretty sure it had been previously frozen, but in that moment- served with a side of marinara, I didn't really care. It was full of gooey melted mozzarella cheese and almost like a breaded chicken nugget center. Pretty decent as far as bar food goes. They also had crab rangoon to which I thought, "hmm are they doing a little too much?!" I'm sure drunk me would have gotten them years ago so what can ya do. Overall, quite a positive experience. The bartender was really sweet and everything wasn't super expensive. I've been in the neighborhood for such a long time, but I've actually never been here and I'm glad I came on a night that it wasn't chaotic.
