Recommendations: White Pie, Sicilian Style…read morePepperoni, Sicilian Style Breaded Onion Rings We went to Professor Pizza for dinner on a Friday night, and it was not busy when we arrived. We started our dinner with the mozzarella onion rings. They were crispy and tasty, and the cheese, onion, and breading balanced each other really well. For our pizzas, we picked the White Pie, Sicilian style, which comes with whipped ricotta, onions, fried rosemary, and Mike's Hot Honey. We also ordered the Pepperoni, Sicilian style, as a gluten free pizza. The crust was really good and crispy, and the red sauce had a nice flavor. We all enjoyed the pizzas and ended up taking about half of the pizza home for the next day. The price is on the higher end, but considering the portion size, we thought it was worth it.

So I started eating Professor pizza when they were still being served on Tabu's rooftop. Sadly…read morethings have changed. I ordered delivery a few days ago and was so excited to get the Deluxe Pepperoni cracker style. I immediately noticed something was off when I opened the box and saw the thick white cheese. It reminded me of Beggars Pizza. Typically Professor Pizza cheese has a yellowish hue. I put the pizza in the oven for about 20 minutes thinking that maybe it was undercooked. Unfortunately upon taking my first bite the cheese remained thick and lacked the classic Professor Pizza flavor I was paying for. Also, even after the oven the bread/dough at the bottom of the pizza didn't have a cracker like crunch. My guess is that the brand has had to reduce costs, which is understandable but deeply unfortunate. I won't be ordering again and wasted $60 in delivery fees. I'm giving them two stars bc it was edible, just nasty.

Okay!! So the first time I had Bob's pizza was yearsss ago (~2021?) at Recess. I remember trying…read morethis pizza sitting on the patio, and immediately falling in love! Flash forward, I stopped seeing Bob's pizza on the Recess menu and had almost forgotten about it until I moved to Old Town this year. Convenient... right down the street from Bob's! A girlfriend and I ordered a pepperoni pizza to split on a Friday night in. We were surprised there was only one size, but it ended up being perfect for two! I even had it as a leftover slice the next day and it was just as good. Next time I NEED to try the pickle pizza- the photos look incredible and it sounds like something right up my alley :). I will be sure to update the review when I try it!

First of all, I ate there three times in the week I was in town working. Granted, the location is…read moreperfect for me, but if the food did not hold up, why bother? They have a great little special - buy two slices & get a free drink. There is no way I am finishing any two of their slices for one meal, but with that in mind, I will add that the value is A++++. I fell in love with the spinach and mushroom pie. I ended up getting that each time so went in, of course, mixing it with one of the other pies they had up. I worked my way through the pepperoni, sausage, and meat lovers. They all hit on all the desired notes - just the right bit of spice, decent charge pull, and properly dispersed toppings. Honestly, this little place is my favorite Chicago-area pizza joint. The service is prompt & friendly, they use a proper oven deck, and, to be honest, they have a lot of other menu options I'd love to work my way through. The ONLY thing missing on the toppings list is anchovies. Now, let me return, if I may, to that spinach & mushroom pie. The sheer amount of cheese is worth the price of admission, and, again, the proportions of everything else rocked.

Not only was the food unseasoned, lacking sauce, and overall just embarrassing, they just threw an entire chicken breast into the middle of the pasta bowl.

Not sure what went wrong at the restaurant but a disappointing takeout order this evening.

Then, we also got the Pizza Pot Pie 1 lb for the two of us to share. It took about 20-30 minutes to make it. It did not disappoint! It was phenomenal. Our server was very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The pricing was appropriate for the quantity and quality of the food. We left full and satisfied!

I came to Chicago as a tourist and definitely wanted to try Chicago-style pizza. I didn't know much…read moreabout the different types of pizza or what to order, so I decided to visit the famous Lou Malnati's. There are several Lou Malnati's locations in Chicago, and I chose the one on N. Wells St. because they offer a personal-size pizza, which was perfect for me. The service was great. Grace was very kind, friendly, and helpful. Since I was a tourist and didn't know much about Chicago pizza, I really appreciated her help and guidance. The deep-dish Chicago pizza was absolutely delicious! I really enjoyed my experience here, and I'll definitely come back to this location the next time I visit Chicago

I didn't mind waiting because it gave me and my partner a chance to look over the menu more and ask our server for recs, to which he recommend the Lou Malnatis salad. This salad honestly blew my expectations and I can see why it's such a crowd favorite - the roasted salami bits and gorgonzola cheese provided a really nice savory contrast with the sweet vinaigrette they used. When it comes to the deep dish pizza however, I think deep dish style just isn't for me. You can taste all the ingredients (the cheese, tomato sauce and sausage) but they don't really come together in a cohesive manner. I had one bite and I didn't really feel compelled to take another after, it reminded me of my own home cooking when I would add too much tomato sauce and overcooked the cheese on a lasagna. I'm not saying deep dish pizza or Lou Malnatis is bad necessarily, the service was friendly and attentive, I just think a regular pizza is more my speed.

Pequod's Pizza near DePaul is definitely a busy spot! While it looks modest from the outside, it…read moreactually spans two floors. It was the perfect setup to book a movie across the street and have a reservation laid out ahead of time here. We were seated upstairs, which had a cute tavern vibe complete with pop music playing and sports on the TVs. I started off with a Haymarket Honey Ale, which was very light with a delicious yeasty aftertaste. Once we put our food order in, it took just 5 minutes for the cheese corners to arrive. They came out shaped like triangle nuggets with a light golden crust and a wet marinara on the side. They didn't look super impressive at first glance, but as soon as you bite into one, the cheese pull is impressive and tastes great--like a thicker, elevated mozzarella stick! About 30 minutes after ordering, the main event arrived: a deep dish pizza with sausage, mushroom, and giardiniera (Note: I was told that sometimes it can take a long time for the cook so just be mindful in case you come through starving.) The crust was buttery with crispy bits, a little doughy, and those legendary caramelized, charred edges were absolute perfection--the real star of the show that felt like a total hug in my mouth! The sausage was so good, with a cook that mirrored the crust with just a slight crisp edge, while the giardiniera added a nice touch of acidity to balance out the fat. The toppings were evenly spread, and after two slices of a large pie, I was completely stuffed. As a new resident, this was my very first Chicago deep dish experience, and I very much enjoyed it. Pequod's completely lived up to the hype for me!

My interest in visiting Pequod's Pizza came after watching LATRYGUY, a foodie YouTuber I have been…read morefollowing lately. As a fellow foodie, I am always looking for new spots to try--whether they are in Chicago, the surrounding Chicagoland area, or outside the state of Illinois. I honestly feel as though you cannot order from Pequod's and not get a pan pizza! Pan pizza is the entire essence of Pequod's; in my opinion, it is almost a crime not to order it. I ended up ordering their 7" personal pan pizza for lunch on a day when I was craving either pizza or pho. Whether using Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online for the convenience and the ability to schedule a pickup time. Most of the time, my orders are ready--or nearly ready--upon arrival. By the time I reached the restaurant, my order was almost finished. If you are someone who orders online as faithfully as I do, just keep an eye on the tracker for the notification that your food is ready. Because of this smooth experience, the likelihood of me ordering online from this location again is very high. I will warn you: if you are driving to this location, the curb sits high outside the storefront, so be mindful of that if you have a smaller vehicle. Parking is pay-to-park and shared by other businesses along Clybourn Ave. Remember to give yourself plenty of space when parallel parking; it can get tight since this restaurant has a consistent flow of customers moving in and out. During my brief visit, I noticed customers either carpooling or being dropped off, which I highly recommend if you plan on visiting this Pequod's location. Now, as for my food! "A cute little pan pizza," was my first thought after receiving the box from the employee. It was so adorable that looking at the box made me almost regret not ordering a larger size. However, its actual appearance took me by surprise once I opened it. After unwrapping the pizza from the aluminum foil, I saw its charred, caramelized cheese ring around the edge, a heavy crushed-tomato and herb sauce on top, and a stringy mozzarella pull in the center that was sticking to the foil. That sight alone made me salivate in anticipation of my first bite. I brought out gloves for this because I didn't dine in. Instead, I just pulled into a park and enjoyed this "cute little pan pizza" from Pequod's, which tasted incredible! The rich, tangy tomato sauce packed a serious punch that made me smile with enjoyment as I carefully avoided getting it on my hospital scrubs. Don't be deceived by the look of those charred edges, either--they are completely edible and delicious! You don't need to worry even if you have sensitive teeth. After finishing the last bite, I wiped my mouth and declared, "That was good!". If you are like me in search for something light, then I highly recommend their 7" personal pan pizza because it will leave you satisfied. In closing, I had a great ordering experience, as indicated in my review of Pequod's Pizza. Thanks to LATRYGUY for bringing this to my attention; I am happy to share my endorsement of this business with the Yelp community. I also want to point out that I am connected to 13 quality Yelpers who have already shared their excellent feedback about this location.

After another summer of eating the delightful pizzas at this rolling oven cart, I have to update…read morethe level of superlative in my last review. This isn't JUST the best hot food at the farmers market, it's probably the best pizza in the city of Chicago -- better than Coalfire, better than Spacca Napoli, better than Piece, better than the deep-dish places too, just for good measure. I won't say that it is the only reason we drag ourselves out of bed on Saturday mornings to hike two miles to the farmers market, but it is the biggest reason. It's worth the line, worth the wait, worth arriving early. And they do have a knack for odd but excellent combinations -- this morning was corn and jalapano and ham and egg, which my wife liked even though she doesn't like breakfast pizzas; another classic has been peach and pepperoni, which I liked even though I don't like fruit anywhere near my savory foods. These people know what they are doing, and what they are doing is making painfully amazing pizza.
