If you one of you and a good meal, come here! Definitely get a reservation as a lot of the seating is outdoors and of course, the beautiful weather with the breeze and the view makes this place really busy. It's on the river. We made a reservation and got seating outside on a Friday night. It was super packed.. We got to make your own pizza, I think the pizza needed a little more sauce. It was delicious, but less flavorful than I thought. The crust was great, not too thick like your usual Chicago pizza. Service was good quick and easy. read more

Had a great time at Robert's. We celebrated mother day here on a Saturday. We ordered calamari, wings, drinks, and two pizzas, and everything was enjoyable. The service was great -- we even got a table touch from Robert himself. My only issue was with the bill at the end of the night. Our server brought us two different receipts with nearly a $50 difference and couldn't clearly explain the discrepancy. We paid the adjusted bill, but the experience left us feeling a bit uncomfortable. read more

There's just something about Robert's Pizza and Dough Company that keeps us coming back every single time We've been here so many times already and somehow every visit feels even better than the last. The second you walk in, the entire atmosphere just feels cozy, lively, welcoming, and honestly impossible to leave Between the views, the music, the energy, the smell of pizza coming out of the oven nonstop... it's genuinely one of our favorite spots in the city. We started with cocktails that were SO refreshing and perfectly made, then got surprised with burrata on the house which was such a sweet touch and absolutely incredible. Creamy, fresh, flavorful -- the kind of appetizer you immediately wish was twice the size because it disappears way too fast And then THE PIZZA. Their char pizza is seriously one of those pizzas you think about days later. Perfectly blistered crust, crispy edges, cheesy, saucy, with those little pepperoni cups that get crispy on top Every bite somehow tastes even better than the last and the crust alone deserves its own appreciation post honestly. As if we weren't already completely obsessed with the experience, they ALSO brought out flan on the house for dessert and WOW. Smooth, creamy, rich, perfectly balanced sweetness with the whipped cream and caramel... literally the perfect ending to such an amazing dinner. But honestly what keeps making us fall in love with Robert's over and over again isn't just the food -- it's the entire experience. The service is ALWAYS incredible, everyone is so welcoming and attentive, and the ambiance is truly unmatched. It's one of those places where dinner turns into sitting around talking longer because you genuinely don't want the night to end read more

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! read more

Robert's Pizza and Dough - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

UPDATE: I added a star because our experience was acknowledged by the restaurant management. Service matters and while we didn't need anything fixed or reimbursed, I so appreciate that level of focus on customer satisfaction. We got it delivered via DoorDash as we heard great things about Robert's gluten free crust and we had someone visiting who eats GF. The sauce was excellent, but we were disappointed by the lack of meat on a carne pizza (it was light cheese, but we thought that was fine) and our crust was so hard and chewy that we literally couldn't power through the outer edge of the crusts after eating past the toppings. The salad was fine, not remarkable. I didn't see anywhere on the site that mentioned the size of the pizza so we gambled a bit that we would have enough for 3 adults, but we had enough since we didn't love it. It was our first time and maybe we would try again without GF, but it's a very expensive pizza so maybe take that into consideration. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Let me just say, Robert knows what he's doing in this restaurant. This place got recommended by locals while visiting Chicago so I knew it had to be good. The place is quite large and has indoor/outdoor seating. The indoors section I was at has a cozy dim lighting vibe. Everything was clean and the staff were really nice. I tried their seasonal acorn squash pizza and it's definitely up there as one of the most unique and flavorful pizzas I've had. Also their crust... I mean just look at it. As a tourist, if I'm ever back in Chicago this is my first stop. read more

Service: 4/5 Pizza: 5/5 Salad: 3/5 Visited on a Friday afternoon. Sat on the patio and enjoyed the vibes and nice weather. Started with a Caesar salad. It was just ok! Went with the make your own pizza (red sauce, pepperoni, bacon, red onions, and garlic). Unlike the salad, the pizza was great. The total was a little pricey, but overall 4/5. read more

This is not the pizza place you bring guests who are looking for iconic Chicago style pizza. However, this is a place where you go to get one of the best pizzas in Chicago. It's not deep dish, but it is delicious pizza. Variety is great, from white artisan style pizza to traditional red sauce pizza. My favorites are still the Margherita (Rita) and the Pepperoni (Cup and Char). Go to happy hour if you want to try different toppings since slices (1/8 of a pie) of the traditional pizzas are only $8. They do not offer varied topping on Whole pizzas on the regular menu. You will need to order separate pizzas. Get there early since happy hour is very busy and hard to get seats. They also offer good drinks at a discounted price. To truly enjoy this restaurant, make a reservation for outdoor seating specifically asking to be on the dock. Offers nice views of the river, and away from the main walkway. We have tried different menu items like the meatballs, and short rib pastas. They were just OK, but at least this restaurant offers items for those not wanting just pizza. This place is all about the PIZZA. I believe it's rated as one of the Top 10 Pizzas in the US. The rating is well deserved. read more

Food was amazing! Meatballs, soups, mocktails and NA drunk options. Beautiful outside seating was a little chilly and more heaters would have been nice but would still highly recommend!

I'm all in on Robert's now. What a great pizza. It's a slightly charred crust with the pillowy interior. Yes. You heard me. Pillowy. Fresh flavors in the toppings. Crushed tomatoes were so sweet on the "Rita" (Margherita) pie. My mouth is watering just remembering it Arancini was okay, but not very exciting. I wouldn't order it again. The arrabiata sauce that came with the arancini was awesome though. Very spicy and packed with flavor. Super attentive server on a busy Friday night. We sat outside to soak up the last of summer. Could not be a better location. Its on the Ogden slip side of River East. Which feels tucked away and in the center of everything all at the same time. Great place to come feel like a tourist in our own city. read more

Robert's Pizza and Dough - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Robert's Pizza and Dough has become one of our favorite restaurants in the city of Chicago for a variety of reasons. First, the food and drink are delicious. Some of our favorite pizzas include the Fennel, Carne (both with house made fennel sausage which is fire!), and the Duck Prosciutto. If we want leftovers, we'll get two pizzas between the two of us. If we want to feel healthy, happy, and not have leftovers, we'll get one pizza and a starter salad like the Apple Hazelnut Salad or the Beet & Kale Salad, both which are delicious! My spouse loves the high quality local beer list and I love the creative and delicious cocktail list, both with seasonal rotations. You can't go wrong! Second, the location and ambiance are incredible! Located on a waterway inlet from Lake Michigan, the outdoor space and water facing indoor bar offer stunning views of the water and treed-in area. The indoor space is nice and welcoming as well, just not as visually stunning. For a visual curb appeal and romantic date, this is the spot for you! Third, the overall experience is top-notch: (a) kind, helpful, and professional staff and service, (b) reasonable prices for such an incredible meal and stunning location, and (c) reservations via OpenTable that guarantee your spot! We recently went for my birthday and I felt so well celebrated! The waitress was so kind and celebratory and the free dessert ice cream was delicious: salted caramel with salted caramel peanut butter cups. YUM! Thanks for being an amazing and delicious dinning experience from start to finish, Robert's! And we'll see you again soon! read more

Robert's Pizza & Dough Co. never disappoints -- from the waterfront views to the perfectly blistered crust. We started with cocktails that were just as beautiful as they were delicious. One was light and citrusy with fresh herb notes, and the other had a soft floral sweetness topped with delicate rose petals. Both were refreshing and set the tone for a great meal. For appetizers, we had the bruschetta. It was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced -- crisp toasted bread layered with creamy cheese, salty prosciutto, and sweet pear slices. The combination of savory and sweet worked so well together, and the ingredients tasted high quality. For the main event, we ordered the heart-shaped Cali Italia pizza -- which was not only adorable but absolutely delicious. The crust had that signature wood-fired char: crispy on the outside, airy and chewy inside. Topped with prosciutto, melty cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, it had the perfect balance of salty, savory, and slightly sweet flavors. Every bite was rich but not overly heavy. Robert's is such a solid Chicago spot for date night or a cute dinner with friends. Great food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere -- I'll definitely be back. read more

Such good pizza and such a cute vibe. Def get a reservation in advance they book out. And sit on the patio outside. The cup and char pepperoni is a MUST (5/5)!! So delicious - spicy and slightly sweet. Pepperoni is crispy. The pizza crust is perfect - solid not soggy base and fluffy crust. It's perfect. Caesar salad (4/5)- pretty standard, goes well with pizza! read more

Robert's Pizza and Dough - Cup & Char Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We ordered the Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza it has an olive oil base which is unique but very tasty. I will say this place really does know what they are doing when it comes to the dough because it has the perfect crunch on the outside and softness on the inside. I do appreciate a thin crust pizza with a good crust so I would go back and try a different pizza again. I loved the open kitchen concept they really have the workflow down it was amazing to see how great they all work together in the kitchen. The inside was warm and cozy and the seating is very close to others it was a bit hard to get around to our seats but it adds to the ambiance. Only downside is that our waiter Beatriz did not stop by to check up on us once or refill our water! We saw her for a good 10 minutes just chatting it up with her coworker. Which there is nothing wrong with it as long as you check on your tables. I will say other staff members did pick up the slack for her so we appreciated that! read more

BEST PIZZA I'VE HAD. Top 10 in America and Top 1 on my list. We couldn't pick between two options so we got both pizzas. #1) cup & char pepperoni (a classic) - my fav and would get this again. - I highly recommend adding ricotta cheese and basil to it. Trust. #2) prosciutto & arugula - too much arugula and felt like it was a salad on a pizza. But flavors came together and it was delicious. The best part of both pizzas was the dough. So light and fluffy. Takes zero effort to bite into the crust, wow! They both were bursting with flavors, but really the highlight was in the dough mixed with the fresh ingredients. Incredible. For sides we just got the calamari. It has a perfect kick of spice, perfectly battered, but on the chewier side. You know it's good when it doesn't need the marinara sauce. Topped off our dinner with a homemade cheesecake that tops any other cheesecakes we've had. It came with mango sorbet ice cream which surprisingly pairs well with the smooth and creaminess of the cheesecake. Our waiter was so kind and sweet. Truly the nicest and made our experience there delightful. Cons (not deal breakers!) - Tables were a little close together and atmosphere was very loud. - Bathrooms were outside the restaurant down the hall. :( - long wait time (try to get a reservation if you can) read more

Robert's Pizza and Dough - Arancini - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

$34 for 1 pizza and I had to throw most of it away. My 'A Walk in the Woods' gluten-free pizza was on dough that was still raw - to taste (that's why had to throw away the base) and to touch (white powder). It was a Saturday evening but I consider that no excuse for under-baking your pizza for a guest. There was hardly any cheese on it, despite the description claiming 3 kinds of cheeses, and had zero flavor or seasoning. I'm not generally one to fall for hype and PR claims, but I did this time and what an absolute waste. read more

Amazing artisanal pizza with a light, crispy crust. We had the chorizo pizza and it was very good. The flavors worked very well together and it had the perfect crust, and the right amount of spice.

Robert's Pizza and Dough - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I first came here during a pizza tour but I had high expectations, after all my brother previously came here and said it was the best pizza he's ever had and as a sourdough lover, I was excited. We were given a pepperoni pizza and by golly, it was amazing! For such a large slice, the crust held its integrity and the sauce was delicious. I'm not a fan of pepperoni in general however the one on the pizza was not too salty and blended well with the other flavors. The dough itself - I mean I love sourdough and I've never had a sourdough pizza before - was spectacular. Probably one of the best doughs (or breads!) I've had in a long while. The pizza was so good, we came back within two days. While the toppings were different, it had the same delicious crust, sauce and cheese. aND IT WAS SOOOO DELICIOUS that the day before my flight, I bought a pizza to-go to bring back home! (Yes it is legal, no I did not get flagged by TSA). I took The Lia home in three gallon ziplock bags, safely secured in my personal bag (hand carried, of course) and when I got home, my brother got a wonderful souvenir. Although it wasn't as tasty as if it was fresh out of the oven as it travelled 5 hours on plane, it was still tasty!! 10/10 recommend read more
