I really missed Barnaby's after moving out of Chicago! Ambiance: This Barnaby's look the exact same as the ones in Chicago. It had the dark rustic wood interior, and beautiful heavy wooden booths and tables. I've never been to Germany, but it kind of reminds me of the traditional German bars I see in history books and online! Service: Like all Barnaby's, this place is counter order only. Once you place your order and the pizza is ready, they will bring it to your table. If you're customizing your pizza, expect about a 25-35 minute wait. Food: The tavern style pizza wasn't as good as I remembered...but it was still pretty delicious! I loved that we can customize and add our own toppings on the pizza. read more

Quaint restaurant that throws me way back to childhood years and similar places I enjoyed going to with family & friends while growing up -- a fantastic era. I ordered an " individual" sized pizza (more than enough for me to get three lunches out, so I'm taking a to-go box). Very good crust, cheese, sauce, and topping and an excellent "bite" after a small amount of cooking time to avoid the upper palate searing of hot cheese & pizza sauce. Very friendly people, and excellent quality food! read more

We ate a sausage/pepperoni pizza. One of the best pizzas I have had in years. The homemade crust was cooked to perfection. Try it you will like. Simply great pizza... read more

I can't tell you how nostalgic a trip to Barnaby's is for me . They have that true Chicago taste Italian sausage . The crust is a real crust . The sauce is pizza sauce not too sweet . And the cheese , nothing gets that good brown going like that .i miss my calumet city days but barnabys can safely transport you to 1977 . Nothing still around beats it .sorry aunt lukie ( Gino's cc ) you're still no.1 ! Oh and get a salad , don't be cheap paisan . Tell em Goomba sent ya , read more

Should have known something was off when the entire block smelled like a bread factory..... That crust was so yeasty and the bottom was covered in corn meal. Yuck. The pizza was mediocre. The sauce was not sweet enough to balance out the yeasty crust. Yuck again. The 8$ frozen mushroom appetizer was not impressive either. The low quality chemical tasting bottled ranch dip did nothing to help the mushrooms. Side note. DO NOT ADD TIP TO THE BILL. That money goes to the person running the register..... weird weird weird!!!! read more

You must need to be a local to figure out the way this restaurant works. The pizza was tolerable and the wings were a joke but the salad was good! The order process was interesting- drinks from one counter, food from another. And pick up of food was from two different counters- pizza from one and, as far as i could tell, all other food at another counter......and that's only if you hear your number called from the scratchy, quiet speaker. It was a clean restaurant but loud and uncomfortable simply because we were so confused. read more

Great prices and solid pies !! We always make a visit when we are in town - love the old school ordering style on paper with check marks on items you want read more

Wow this place where do I start of . Sent my son his friends to get pizza, He calls and says dad the man has his four arm no gloves on up to his elbows tossing the cheese that's fucking just nasty we didn't even ask for a refund fucking eating this nasty ass pizza. With nasty worker no proper PPE. read more

Just an old school pizza joint. Pitchers of beer, great pizza of all types. I love pizza cut in squares. This ia my jam. Really high quality toppings and nice caramelized crust. Really solid atmosphere. We had six people total and we had 5-6 pizza and four pichers of beer. Pizza heaven!!! Only downside is it's on Notre Dame's campus, and I am a Buckeye!!! National Champs!!! read more

Best pizza in South Bend. No question about it. Great times great food cool ambience!

Great food from my childhood! Always take advantage of it when I'm driving through. Best pizza and burgers.

Shitty food, offensive service. RUN, do not walk away from this place Paid for a pizza and waited nearly an hour, in a near empty restaurant. When I went up to remind them that I've ordered and they forgot, they made no effort to apologize, and the manager actually tried to scold me for taking him away from burning pizzas, as if I was the reason he wasn't attending to those pizzas. Save your time and money, Hall's Kitchen down the road is much better, and they actually sell pizza. read more

Had a Grubhub order delivered. The salad had a lot of wilted greens. The ingredients that looked great were the egg, cucumbers, and grape tomato. I also appreciated that there was plenty of dressing included. I had ordered a chicken sandwich with a side salad but got a chicken salad instead. Not a huge deal but it wasn't a chicken sandwich equivalent of meat either. I received almost as much cheese than chicken. read more

Quite confused about reading all of these great reviews right now. Are these family members of the owners? Anyway, I wish I'd experienced the fantasy land that they did. The staff are friendly, and that's where the good part ends. Do yourself a favor and get a Tombstone from the gas station, because this pizza is terrible. The crust tastes like cardboard, the ingredients are processed, the restaurant smells funny and the ambiance, well, it's like a morgue in there. read more

Just a good ole fashioned family pizza joint. Love it. Easy and comfy. Great flavor , affordable and kind service. Will be back for sure

I ordered two sausage and pepperoni pizza's with extra cheese and a chicken strip basket to be delivered. I also asked for Parmesan and ranch in the notes. The pizza has no extra cheese and I did not receive Parmesan or ranch and the pizza was so burnt the pepperonis were crispier than burnt bacon. The lack of quality they let go through their doors to their customers who pay their high prices is insane. If you want good Chicago style pizza, visit the other Barnabys in the area that is not affiliated with this one. read more

Been going here since I was a kid and through the years I've never been disappointed until now. The burger was good along with the fries and mozzarella sticks but the pizza was not good. The pizza was cut but not all the way through so we had to try to cut it ourselves with the knife and it was not doughy but it was tough in a chewy way. The toppings were melted and the cheese bubbly but the pizza was not cooked throughly and the pizza used to come with cornmeal all over the bottom that added to the crunch and flavor and it was non existent on the bottom. The sauce was also sweet leading me to think corners were cut and sugar added to make up for ingredients. I love this place with all my heart I really do but I can't recommend going here when the pizza was like this. Change happens nothing is consistent especially in this new post Covid world but the issues with the pizza come down to execution for the most part and cooking the pizza longer. We were also here early and there might have been 20 people in the whole place eating so it was not like they were rushing to get the pizzas out. I hope this was just a one of moment I really do. read more

Review is from a visit on 9/1/23- Great place to dine- family, friends, or solo. Brings back the old school pizza joint feel. They weren't too busy when we went so we didn't have to wait. Everything was amazing. We will definitely be back when we return to South Bend. read more

You guys need a better flow process for drinks. Shared this over 15 years ago. Plus staff seems more stressed. read more

I can now say that I got a bad pizza from Barnaby's. Crust was way off from what I'm used to getting.

It's always amazing pizza, even when carrying out. Our favorite place for pizza. They always get the order right.

Parking outside we could smell the pizza baking inside and immediately felt the hunger pangs radiate thru my body. Quickly ordered and got our drinks. We were early for dinner but there were about 10 other families eating. I had set my phone time and in 16 minutes we had our delicious pie. Great pizza! read more

The food was not good, the beef melt was way too salty and the pizza looks like sludge. They claim that they have the best pizza in town but to be honest I would rather have Costco pizza. read more

Great pizza and great service in an old school atmosphere. Highly recommend, maybe the best pizza in South Bend.

Like pizza? If you are in the South Bend area this is a great spot to stop in for really good pizza. Many choices including meatball as a meat option and is you prefer veggie pizza like me, they have two options one of which doesn't have red sauce. read more

Pizza was greasy, half burnt and cold had grub hub delivery and they were great but the pizza was not

Excellent pizza with great tasting crust, high quality ingredients and great service. Will definitely return next time I visit South Bend.

Pizza crust is a dry cracker with flour to dry it even more. Toppings are weak. Salads are iceberg lettuce in a bowl, toppings bar had almost nothing to add. Not sure how this place is in business. $25 for that pizza is robbery. Never again. read more

I don't know who is making the pizzas now, but something has definitely changed. My last two pizza orders were terrible. Crust was wet and soggy. Seemed under cooked and then there was a thick layer of cheese. Like...way too much cheese. About 2" layer. On my first order it seemed like the new method is putting all the toppings under the cheese which there was a whole stack of pepperoni. A disproportionate amount man. I don't who's cooking the pizzas now but definitely hurting the reputation. Jefferson location used to be a sure bet now it's very hit or miss. read more

We've been coming here for many many many years! I don't know why we came on s Friday night at 6 pm to I take partial blame for the bad experience!!!!! We usually don't have this problem but we don't go 6 on a Friday night. Parking lot was packed but there was a lot of open tables so that was good! I believe people parked and walked to the park across the street to an event going on. I ordered our 1 pizza 1 salad 1 order cheese bread. Pizza came up..... half hr later STILL no salad or bread... I go up and ask I got attitude from the worker... I stood there with 3 other angry people 2 were waiting on salads as well. 30 more minutes I finally got my salad. I paid for a large dinner salad and got a small side salad. Then she said 5 more min on the cheese bread! I ended up waiting over an hr for the salad and almost an hr and a half for the bread. The bar tender was kind and friendly. read more

Excellent pizza and beer. A game weekend classic. Great atmosphere. Self / counter service!

Last night a group of us went to this location and it was SUPER busy and very loud. You order the pizza and you are given a number and they will call it out when it is ready. You get your sodas or adult beverages at the bar and it took over an hour for the pizza to be done. The toppings are great but the crust was very hard and so much so I just took the toppings off and ate that. I paid $26 for a large two topping pizza - I have had better frozen pizza from the grocery store. read more

The best location of the two in town. The pizza and sandwiches are all super good. If you have never been, ordering can get confusing. You wait in line and order now because of covid. They will call your number when it's ready. Sandwiches are usually out a lot quicker than pizza. The poppyseed dressing is good and you can get a side salad instead of fries. The pizza is unlike anything else in town. Only negative is they charge you for the box if you get it to go. Also more expensive than chains. Best day is Monday, $3 off a large pizza! A must do every time I visited home. Half sausage and half double cheese is the way to go. read more

Was told to go to three pizza places. This was one of them. I believe there may be a few different locations. The crust on the pizza was really good. Almost cracker like and the edge was thin too which I don't think I've had before. Overall really good pizza. This would definitely be on the try again list if in town again. read more
