    Meatballs
    Karyn T.

    Our first girl dinner of our Chicago trip was Robert's Pizza and Dough. My friend had found their restaurant online and so we were all really excited to check it out. It was maybe a 15 minute walk from our hotel which isn't anything at all but it is by the water so it's pretty cold. When we arrived we were able to get seats without reservations which was nice. Between 6 girls we order calamari and meatballs to share along with the Cali Itali pizza and Carne. Umm the food was so delicious, the meatballs had so much flavor and really huge definitely a good little share. Then the calamari was perfect, not oily and super crunchy, I haven't had good calamari in forever so this hit the spot. Our pizzas were perfect, the dough had good flavor and the toppings were just the right amount. It's not Chicago's tavern style or deep dish but this was by far the best pizza we had all trip. Note, the bathroom is down a spooky hall but it was really nice. The people here were so friendly and the food is superb. I bet during Summertime this place is just beautiful to eat outside! Ugh, I cannot wait to come back!

    Yummy pizza and plenty of specality options. Cinco de mayo was around the corner so they had decorated the place to the T. There was great indoor and outdoor seating. Make sure you get the ranch nd the calibrian chili oil!!! We had no issued with service and was seated fast.

    Caramelized Onion Pizza
    Carolyn T.

    I love Robert's! The crust is perfection: airy with a little crunch. I've been here multiple over the course of several years (since they first opened), and I've loved every pizza. My favorite topping is caramelized onion! I haven't been there for brunch yet, but those pizzas also look delicious. Pizzas are fairly priced, ingredients are super fresh, great ratios of all pizza components, and they're consistently made well without variability. I can always count on a good pizza from Robert's! The location is also excellent. I love dining on the patio when the weather is nice and enjoying that Chicago River view. Note when dining in on the patio that it can get pretty crowded with a long wait time. Takeout has always been speedy! Tip: if you have leftover pizza, make sure you heat it up in the microwave a bit to make the crust soft again!

    Had a fantastic river side patio dinner at Robert's! It was great weather to be out and while they were busy both inside and outside, we were seated fairly quickly for dinner time on a Saturday. Our server was kind and frequently checked in on us for refills. Our group opted to get a chorizo pizza and a carne pizza, both of which were delicious and flavorful! The chorizo pizza had a great mix of toppings (goat cheese, tomato, chorizo) that all went well together. the carne pizza had plenty of toppings and tasted wonderful too! Honestly forget the Chicago deep dish chains and come here, we did not regret it!

    Had an awesome experience here in River East. The weather couldn't have been better, and their outdoor seating really made the whole meal feel like a perfect Chicago moment. We started with the mussels, which were absolutely on point--fresh, flavorful, and a great way to kick things off. Our server recommended the acorn squash, and I'm really glad we listened. Such a great seasonal dish, and it felt like we caught it just in time before it's gone. A highlight was Robert (manager/owner) stopping by to say hi--super friendly and genuinely welcoming, which added a nice personal touch to the experience. Great food, great service, and an ideal outdoor setup. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Easy to navy pier or the river if you need to walk those calories off

    Sooo Robert's Pizza and Dough Company was such a tasty stop! Everything felt fresh and light, which I really appreciated. We sat outside by the water, and the view was really nice. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, which is a plus. I'm always down for good pizza and pasta, and this spot delivered. I'd definitely go back!

    Loved their dough/fresh ingredients. Pizza was cooked perfectly. They had a great selection of premium tequilas to choose from. Our server checked on us frequently. We had a great view of the outdoor dining area and canal from our table. We'll definitely be back. Place was almost completely full at 5:00 on a Thursday.

    Came here for Sunday lunch. The place was still festive! The to-go order area was also busy. It's nice that there's is an indoor separated waiting area to pick up to-go orders. The pizza looks good, but unfortunately the toppings were too dry for me. The crust was crunchy but has a stronger "charred" smell/flavor, but my mom loves it. Totally depending on your taste, you may love or hate their pizzas.

    Got the cheese and veggie pizza and their ranch was literally the best ranch ever! Got this for takeout but I know it would have slapped if we sat in the restaurant. This is a must place to try and would definitely come back here again

    This place was so nice especially on a warm day. Having a reservation and putting outdoor seating is a perk because they do get busy. We got their calamari which was good on their happy hour and I got their NA hibiscus mule which was really good. We have tried their mushroom pizza before and it's good but the walk in the woods is much better. Outdoor seating you can bring your little dogs as well.

    The pizza was good, but still kind of mid in my opinion, nothing too crazy. The arancini as their appetizer actually stood out more than the pizza. Overall, the service and vibe were really nice. The location right by the river is a big plus and adds to the overall experience. The space felt a little stuffy at times, but not really a deal breaker. The place gets a lot of hype for the crust and overall quality, but it did not fully live up to that level for me.

    Duck Prosciutto on Simple Salad
    Tiffany C.

    The duck prosciutto is a must try!! I've never had anything or known that it existed and my life is changed!! The pizza was flavorful and there are so many different options to choose from. We got the carne it was packed with meat and the tomato sauce made it a perfect blend of flavors in my mouth.

    Cup and Cup & Char Pepperoni Pizza
    Krista C.

    We live in the area and frequent Roberts whether it's dine in, carry out or just a few beverages at the bar. We have never been disappointed, and the staff is always amazing. The cup and char pepperoni pizza is our favorite item on the menu. The dough crisps just right, as do the pepperonis. The old fashioned is perfect, and blood orange margarita is surprisingly fresh! Love their staff as well

The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me.

Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor.
