I placed an order online for a 16inch Half Pepperoni/Haf Sausage, I picked up this order and get home to a burnt pizza. Apparently they can't even check the quality of there food. This is seriously Ridiculous. read more

They used to be the best but now every time I place an order they have gotten it wrong or completely forgot to even make it. It'd be one thing if they offered to rectify the situations but they only make you pay up and deal with it. read more

The worst experience ever! Called for reservations and when I arrive the host abruptly said she don't have the reservations and walked away. I then went to the bar and asked for a manager and was told it was busy. Nobody came to ask if I wanted to order or what else I needed. I tried to stop two hosts and no help. After waiting 20 minutes I left. Horrible service and never fully staffed!!! I will be calling corporate! read more

Barraco's used to be a family favorite growing up. It's been a very long time but we have held parties in their backroom it was just a great restaurant many years ago but it has definitely gone downhill. I honestly haven't eaten there in years, however we visited my mom and we ordered from here last night. Pretty large order we got a salad, pizza, 2 orders of breadsticks, 2 beef sandwiches and a new york strip sandwich. I have to say the only thing that was enjoyed was the salad. That is pretty sad because it's hard to mess up a salad. They forgot the steak sandwich which I had to go back for. Which was the saddest looking steak sandwich I have ever seen. Meat on 2 pieces of bread with raw onion absolutely no seasoning and cold. The bread sticks were absolutely terrible no taste what so ever. I get better ones frozen from the store. The beef sandwiches were cold which I can somewhat understand bc it's winter in chicago. The pizza was just okay. We weren't given the side of peppers that we asked and paid for. And after calling to complain they did absolutely nothing. I can tell you that I will never order from here again. Horrible food and service experience and if they wanted me to return to try again they would have at least apologized but not even that. read more

I now understand how this place makes $$$. They hire kids, and dont pay them or train them. I have nothing against kids working, but at least train them properly. I am giving the business $$$, train the kids to say "thank you" and how to appreciate a customer. I ordered a pasta meal, and the broasted chicken....the chicken was a let down, and the pasta was dryer then it should have been. Fail on both orders, and very over priced for what it is. I wont be back. Stay away. read more

Pictures can speak for themselves. How dare anyone allow molded bread to leave their facility, let alone their kitchen. No Stars. On a few occasions I've received some sort of little blue plastic coils along with my orders of broccoli. Cold, raw, baked? potatoes. Maybe the level of care is reduced due to my location. Who knows?! Get it together, or just give it up. read more

Ummmm I ordered 5 Italian shells with melted cheese paid over 15 dollars and well let's Let my picture of what they gave me speak for itself I'll never be back here! read more

I would say that this Barraco's has the best thin crust pizza in the area. Actually, all of the food here is great, but when you come here you gotta go for the thin crust. Those little squares are too easy to pop into your mouth, so watch out-you may end up eating half the pizza in a few minutes! Hah! I've always been pleased with ordering at his location, whether it's through carry-out, delivery, or eating in. Although it's very convenient to order out, I suggest you try dining in. The dining room is nice and cozy. You get warm bread and parmesan cheese and olive oil for dipping while you sit and wait for all of the other delicious food to come out. It's one of the nicer sit down experiences in the area. There's also a separate good-sized bar area near the front of the restaurant if you want to hang there. read more

They deliver to me!!! Apparently, I live in the delivery free zone. As a former northsider, one of the hardest adjustments to living south was the lack of delivery. THat problem is exasterbated by the fact that I live in a .5 mile radius that the restaurants that do deliver, won't deliver to. NO it has nothing to do with violence...it's purely poor boundary lines...a modern, frustrating mystery that no one can explain. Anywho, Barraco's will come to me and with some ridiculous double delivery charge. As for the food, it's standard pizza/italian restaurant quality. Everything I've had, dine-in or delivery, has been good. I would order from them more often but it took me so long to even find places that deliver when I moved over here, that I broke my 2-3 times/week delivery habit. I'm extremely happy to have the option, however. read more

$2.95 for a stale piece of bread. Served with zero butter. Last time I ever order from there

Have had the pizza through carry out several times. Tonight decided to dine in. Holy expensive! I had chicken parm. Chicken was chewy and tasted reheated. Red sauce was ok. Cream of chicken soup was a semi creamy soup with what I believe was grilled chicken chunks added to it. We also ordered spaghetti with meatballs and mostaccioli with red sauce. Appetizer was bruschetta which was very good. Inside of restaurant was dark and was hard to read the small print in the dim light. Floor was super slippery but not one person working there had said anything about it. Do yourself a favor if you decide you want to eat here, ORDER YOUR FOOD FOR CARRY OUT! All the food we ordered for dine in was higher than carry out menu. That is crazy ! Don't order chicken parm! Pizza is fantastic though! read more

I came here for a quick dinner before a play I was seeing in the area. At first, I was super frustrated with my experience. My friends were running late and all I wanted to do was sit and read with a beer while I waited. However, the bar was super crowded, really dark and really loud and most of the high tops were marked reserved. I asked for a table explaining that the rest of my party was literally in a car on the way, but they wouldn't seat me. No one said anything when I ordered a beer and just sat at a reserved table to wait, so I'm letting it pretty much slide even though it was super annoying. Because my friends had been late we were kind of short on time and I was a little worried we would miss the beginning of the play. I shouldn't have worried, though, because the service was super attentive and quick. The food-Everything here is big and really cheap, you get more than you pay for. The app platter was too much for three people to finish and was delicious...lots of deep fryer goodness. We ordered pepperoni thin crust and it was good. Not the best pizza I've ever had, but still good enough to eat again (and often, if I lived closer). read more

Not impressed with the food. I guess I'm spoiled living in the city with a lot of options but the grilled calamari was especially bad.

Great thin crust pizza! Nice casual dining room on one side and a bar on the other side. Service was good even when they were packed during the dinner rush. Menu was pretty extensive and reasonably priced. read more

I stopped in here in the late evening to have a few drinks and maybe a quick bite to eat. Boy did I ever over order, but it was damn tasty. The lobster ravioli special was extremely reasonably priced to get your lobster on (12.95 or so) - though it is shredded lobster and not lump meat, so there is a bit of an odd texture to it. Pretty tasty. The fried cauliflower was also tasty but do note that the portions on appetizers are huuuuuge. I wasn't expecting quite so much when I ordered both, so when they came out with the calamari that my companion ordered as well it was just a food overload. A pretty tasty food overload, to be entirely fair. My gin and tonic was also relatively cheap, huge and quite strong. Nice place to grab a bite and a drink for a rather reasonable price. I'm sure I'll be back. read more

(I had to change my review I'm disappointed) I'm always defending barracos swearing up and down that they're amazing! Today I was not very happy at all! I ordered from them and they got my order wrong so I called, the lady read me the correct order but I had the wrong one in front of me. I was upset because only half the pizza was wrong and she told me to stop eating it. I explained it wasn't fair for my family but she said they needed it back. So I was annoyed but did it anyway. I then get the correct pizza maybe 30 minutes later. Then, I am starving at this point and bite into my pizza only to spit out a HUGE thumb nail! I called again and the manger gave me a "credit". I spent $44.44 and at this point I wanted my money back but didn't want to argue anymore. read more

Barraco's - Pizza Near Me - Evergreen Park, Illinois

Very good stuff! We tried a burger, pesto chicken pasta and a pizza to try a variety of what they offer. Everything was great. Pizza on par with Rosatis - our regular favorite. Burger was well cooked and pasta was perfect. For delivery, they make you pay in cash the first time for some reason, but you can bypass that with GrubHub. We will definitely use them again and maybe go in person. read more

I. LOVE. BARRACO'S. PIZZA. The end. Yea right! Since when I have ever written a review that short? I have some good friends out in Evergreen Park. We've ordered from here quite a few times and it's SO freakin' tasty! I've had the stuffed and the thin. Both are good but man the stuffed is....addicting. The crust. Sweet Lord the crust! Nice and crispy but warm and soft on the inside. Their sauce is solid and they use just enough cheese. I'm extremely picky about sausage on my pizza and will often times order mine without....but not here. After partaking in this tastiness, I found myself wishing there was a Barraco's close to me...because sometimes good pizza is hard to come by. To my surprise I found a Barraco's in my neck of the woods in good ole Lisle...and I was in the delivery zone! Woot! We started off good but my last visit left me quite disappointed. The Evergreen Park locale has never let me down. If you are in the area and in the mood for some great pizza....look no further! I hope to give the Lisle location another go. Fingers crossed that they redeem themselves! read more

We chose this place based on Yelp reviews and its proximity to the place where we were seeing a play. Definitely a big success in my book. The only annoying thing: they won't seat you unless your entire party is present. My friend arrived super early and they wouldn't seat her even though there were a ton of open tables in the back. The beer list was nice and the prices were super cheap. I'm glad the south side and surrounding suburbs charge considerably less for the same ales as other bars in the city. We didn't bother waiting at the bar for a drink and I'm glad because it was super busy and annoying. I wasn't too happy with our seating arrangement because we were right in a traffic aisle between two areas of the restaurant, but it ended up not being as bad as I had expected. We were tucked in near the wall enough that the traffic of servers, bus boys and patrons didn't disturb our meal too much. Apps were good and HUGE. We ordered the sampler platter, which ended up being a huge mistake because it was enormous. There was too much for three people to eat... especially considering we had also ordered a pizza. Apps are pretty much breaded everything, so you know it's all delicious. The sampler included breaded mushrooms, mozzarella sticks et al, so everything was fried and yummy. Pizza was pretty good. Not the best I've had, but definitely not the worst, so it was worth coming back and having more. They may deliver, so try having that. The restaurant is pretty packed, especially as the night wares on, so you may not want to be around inside that long. All in all, a solid four star performance from Barraco's. I'd go back if I were ever in the area. There's a private lot across from the entrance and there's pretty ample street parking. The entrance situation is a little confusing (as there are many doors but they are not all valid entrances) so watch out. read more

One of the darkest restaurant interiors I have ever been in. I think I saw some people using their flashlights on their Smartphones to read the menu or just eat. Apart from the fact they don't like to use the miracle of incandescent lighting, Baraccos was ok overall, especially for a large group. I'd come back again, especially for the delicious veggie pizza. Just wish the slices were cut just a little bit bigger than appetizer size. . read more

Recently I had a meeting in the area and the friends I was with were looking for a good place to eat. After some thought this place came to mind (as it was close by), which was highly recommended by the person we were meeting with. Having not been to this place for many years, I was not sure what to expect. It was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant was not very full so we got a table right away. After some scrutinizing the menu, I decided on the Pasta Medley which was a combination of different shaped pastas (ravioli with meat was one of them) which was filling and tasty. My friends got the Eggplant Parmasean and another pasta which they said were also very good. We also got the choice of salad or soup (I opted for the Minestrone which was hot and good as well). I will be back one day for more great Italian dishes! read more

I used to eat their pizza in high school and it was mediocre but I was a teenager who would eat out of a garbage can, so it didn't matter. So when my aunt suggested it as a place for a sit down family dinner I was hesistant but its a nice place, a little pricey for the area, the table bread was great, service awesome, I got Chickenm Vesuvio, it was differet. They made a good gravy, potatoes was excellent but the chicken was whole, not chopped and mushrooms were everywhere, just dumped on top. I don't like mushrooms, it was too many even for my mushroom loving wife. I'd give them another try but not get Vesuvio. read more

Yes! For the pizza- the thin crust we had was super tasty. No! For the pasta. I had a sampler of some sort that had spaghetti with meat sauce, fettucine alfredo, and chicken parmesean. The spaghetti was mediocre and the alfredo was terrible. Like noodles-and-Vaseline terrible. Yes! For the chicken parm. Probably the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Hell No! For the way our newbie waitress delivered our "refill" bread to the table- in her bare hands! So, I guess I'd come back for pizza and the assurance that they won't palm my food... (At least not in front of me). read more

The wings where really good for my taste and I'm really hard on how the wings are in places but the wings here I recommend and the burger is just wow it's definitely something you have to try! read more

Had my holiday work dinner party here yesterday (12/01/18). We had about 25 people and I choose the Dinner Selection with Bar. We had a curtained off area, it was great. Tables were set beautifully. Everything was good to go even though I came in earlier than expected. Vincent was our server and he was top-notch. No one waited for anything and he was always checking in on everyone. Food was hot and portions weren't skimpy at all. I loved that we weren't crammed into a tiny space, plenty of room to mingle. Thank you, Barraco's, for taking care of everything so I could sit back and relax! All of our guests were very impressed! read more

This has always been a favorite restaurant because it's close to home and open late! Food and service are always excellent... Even at midnight in the dining room!!! Thanks for the great and very reasonable wine list and for feeding me when I get home from work and don't feel like cooking at midnight! Also, love all the servers but love Sam P the most!!!! Thanks ! Mangia! read more

Love it love it love it. With the dairy allergies in the house I like to get the bruschetta pizza w/out cheese for the family. It's awesome. Haven't tried gluten-free yet, but that's next. But for my pizza-addiction, it's thin-crust cheese and mushroom and Barraco's does it so well. Everyone there is helpful and hard working. They've even got a couple tasty organic wines in their 'store'-carry out area. read more

Based on fellow Yelpers' reviews. I choose this place to have dinner for my birthday. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. Being it was my first time, we entered through what looked like the deli area and then the bar and then finally snaked around to the dining area. Yes, partly my fault because I parked so frickin' far away, made everyone walk in the chilly October night and then entered on the wrong side. Even with it being late on Friday night, we were able to be seated right away. The waiter came by and took our orders super quick. We had the saganaki, it was good but a little too lemony. But hey this is an Italian place, so what do you expect? We then had the deep dished cheese pizza. Love the pizza toppings and sauce, they're really good and fresh tasting. I wasn't a fan of the deep dish crust. It tasted a little too airy, similar to pork rinds. But looking at other tables, it seems the pizza of choice is definitely the thin crust. The service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and very attentive. And a yeah for the fact, I did get a free birthday scoop of ice cream with a candle in it. Dorky, but awesome at the same time. I'm totally in love with Barraco's atmosphere. It was very relaxing and the best part... no screaming, running, crying children. Just the local residents from the neighborhood having a night out. I would highly recommend the place for taking out a date. Very chill and intimate. I will definitely be back now that I'm not a complete newbie. read more

Wow, Barraco's . . . my dinner was bloody awesome. Mama Barraco Stuffed pizza with sausage was freaking A++++++! Will definitely order this again and again! Barraco's has rekindled my love of pizza. Well done. read more

My family and I have been coming to Barracos since I was a kid and I'm never disappointed . Their Deep Dish pizza is the best , even better than most Famous Pizza spots in Chicago . The deep dish crust is heavenly and so buttery, I love It . I'm not a fan of the Thin Crust or how the sausages are like meatball. Eww !! But, they also have Grilled Chicken sandwich I get when I want something light , which I highly recommend . They are even open 24 hours and 7 Days a week!! How could you turn that down !! read more

Came here for a late lunch with friends and the place was packed! We ordered a thin crust pizza and I'm usually a deep dish girl, that had the best vegetarian topping's was fabulous. Even more fab was the service. Our waiter (young guy who suggested a Tabasco and ranch dressing pizza dip), was one of the best wait staff I've encountered in a long time. We felt catered too... Also had a market with a host of vino on display...loved it! read more

Love Barraco's. Have been coming here for over 10 years and have never had a bad experience. Pizza is great, steak is excellent and service is always impeccable! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would! I will start this off by saying everything that transpired last night was obvious and blatant. There was no room for misinterpretation! This establishment clearly does not welcome people of color! My two sisters and I along with our husbands tried to stop in on 5/21/22 around 9:30pm. We were headed to the bar for drinks. As we entered, a group of Black gentlemen said, "I heard them say they are only taking reservations as y'all were walking up." Now I'm unsure if they were told the same thing or if they had even been served. We continued in and the hostesses stated that it was reservations only. We said we were only heading to the bar. They then proceeded to say that the bar was closed for a private event. What?!? At almost 10pm. My brother in law said I'm a regular and they allowed us to the bar. It was clearly no private event going on. The bar was pretty full but there were 2 high top tables and a few booths available. We went to sit at one of the high top tables and they then said that the tables were for the private event but we could sit at the booth. Ummm no thank you! Is it a private event or a reservation? There's a difference! As we exited, I asked to speak to the manager. After 10 minutes we walked out because it didn't appear the manager was coming. We then saw her appear behind the desk. I expressed my disappointment and confirmed that there was no private event, instead a party had reserved the two high tops. Well you're telling me that that reservation warranted you too nearly turn us away when there were clearly available seats? I explained that there was zero question that we felt discriminated against and would never be back. We were clearly the only people of color during our brief stay and it appeared that we were treated much differently than the other patrons. As we were exiting a Hispanic family was told the exact same thing. They were closed for a private event. But what happened to the booth they were reluctantly going to give us? All in all, we will never be back. And as other reviewers have pointed out, if you're a person of color, you are not welcome. So we will take our money and business elsewhere. Oh and just so you know, they have their comments disabled on their social media platforms and I'm sure that's no coincidence. They don't want these type of comments appearing. But no worries, Yelp, Google and word of mouth works great! We will not patronize any establishment that is clearly racist. read more

I called in a take out order for a salad and was told because I'm a first timer they would only take cash. I couldn't even give them my debit card or credit card number over the phone. I won't be back. read more

I never write reviews, but this time I had to!! I have been on hold for over 25 minutes just to pay over the phone for my order. The order was placed online and did NOT offer the option of entering a card #. I decided to call to pay with my credit card and avoid the cash transaction once they got here. I not only had to repeat myself 3 times because the person on the phone said they couldn't understand what I was saying. Then they put someone on the phone who could understand ONLY to tell me that they couldn't take my card. Very disappointing experience to say the least. No one could tell me why, and she said, "All I do is take orders." I will NEVER order from them again. read more

Hi I am Kristine and I would like to give praises to Jackie, who was our server on July 17, 2015. We came to Barracos to celebrate our little sister's marriage that was to take place on the following day. It was around 8 o'clock at night and there was 6 of us in total. from the time we were seated until the time we left, Jackie was awesome. She was very plesant, knowledgeable and very patient. When there were changes to our orders she took it in stride like it never even happened. Our evening with our little sister was more enjoyable because of her outstanding level of service and professionalism. We ordered calimari as an appetizer and a whole array of beverages. Everything was as it should have been. The food was hot and the drinks were delicious. Our deep dish pizza was brought to us in a timely fashion and it was hot and scrumptious. Jackie was very attentive without being bothersome and she happily took several pictures of us which was the icing on our very delicious Barracos carrot cake. Thank you Jackie...you ROCK! Kristine read more

Food is always great , the atmosphere was so much better before the fire . I think it was a strategic idea to change the layout , atmosphere go more upscale raise prices . To limit the young crowd .from All races . I do remember nights of this place being packed that the corner you couldn't even get in. Maybe they got push back from the neighbors . The old to go foyer was perfect for customers to catch deals while they pick there food . If the plan was to change the atmosphere then it worked but at what cost $? read more

Barraco's EP - they treat you like family. Always great to stop in and see Nick, Frannie & Vito. The new restaurant is looking great - many upgrades since reopening after the fire. Excellent neighborhood hang-out; my favorite place in town. read more

Had the deep dish pizza. Was phenomenal! I highly recommend it... HOWEVER. I came on a Friday night with a friend & got a weird vibe from the waiter VINCENT. He was really short with us, barely checked up on us & overall had a unpleasant attitude. In short... Food was great but the service left something to be desired. read more

Barraco's was just disappointing. We got two pizzas and a Mediterranean salad on a weeknight. The salad was skimpy on the lettuce and inexplicably had an excessive amount of water in the bottom of the container, at least half an inch. There was something seriously off about their olives too. The DIY containers full of the components of balsamic dressing were ok. The gluten free meat special pizza was overcooked, with blackened crust and heavily seared cheese. Meanwhile, the regular pizza was undercooked and lukewarm. The crust was floppy and doughy. This was extra concerning when, after a few bites I noticed the sausage wasn't just lukewarm, but it was basically uncooked and pink inside. I'm really hoping I don't get food poisoning. Aside from the undercooking, two of the three toppings were barely present. At $1.75 per topping, all I got was 12 tiny pieces of spinach? Surely Barraco's can afford to put more spinach on than that for a $16 12" pizza. I couldn't even find the garlic that was supposedly on it. There was no evidence of it in taste, and really, it was one of the blandest pizza experiences I've ever had. Probably not doing this again. read more
