After moving into the neighborhood, me and my partner decided to get pizza for our guests. I was greeted by the friendly staff and manager and had a chance to talk about the area and how Bellona'a was trying something new with their recipes. It was a pleasure to meet them. Our food was delicious! I hadn't had a decent pan style pizza in a while, and their by-the-Slice pizza was really good too! We were impressed and happy with our purchase, and we will definitely return!! read more

This place just lost loyal customers that order at least once a week. This is the second time they got my order wrong. The manager is a piece of work and rude and not customer friendly. After the first time the order was wrong the manager pretty much told me well too bad. The owner eventually called me back and gave me a free pizza to remedy the situation. This second time the manager--Nico-hung up on me. I wonder if the owner knows he has a rude manager running the place. I am sure more people will stop ordering from this place. I heard a rumor that there is a new owner and the quality is not as good. My last deep dishes had a burned bottom. Get some real pizza makers and a professional manager. For another option go to JB Alberto's Pizza in Roger's Park. They have the biggest giant pizza for parties and delicious pizza, way better compared to Bellonas. JB Alberto's does deliver to Albany Park. Time to order from a new place. Bye, Bye. read more

- Nice owner and cooks - The place smells divine! - Pizza by the slice if you want to test it out first - Great price for tasty fried cheese curds Overall another Neil Diamond meal (so good, so good, so good!). read more

Bellonas has AMAZING food. The pizza by far is the best around and it's truly a hidden gem. The owner is very humble and kind. It's a family owned restaurant. You walk in and the vibe is very cozy and Chicago. I love it. read more

Pizza slices and combos available. Their thin crust game is solid. (Tavern) Due to their location, it's easy to grab a pie and head over to a friend or family's home. Pizza comes out of the oven piping hot and I can make it back to a dinner table fairly quickly enough to enjoy it while still warm. Crust intact. They also offer pasta, appetizers and deep dish. I have tried both styles of pizza. Their thin is best, I'm not yet sold on their deep. The last time I ordered one I picked up just as it came out of the oven. Wish I had looked at the pie prior to taking it home. The bottom was soggy and slices drooped as we grabbed slices. Smh. Everything had to go back into the oven. Based on the ingredients, I'd be open to try again. Well done with a properly baked bottom. The kitchen likes to improvise on pizza styles. Recently they offered an Al pastor pizza with pineapple! So if you're ordering, best to call in and see what new styles are available. Pasta? (Advice to staff: when mixing pasta with sauce, allow them time to bind together. Add in the cheese and let them cook together for a time. Otherwise in the carryout container it isn't going to look properly created and the pasta separates from sauce like they weren't made for each other) read more

Bellonas Pizza - A slice of pepperoni pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great thin crust pizza. Service is always fast and nice. Also a great price. Highly recommend the cheese cake also!

Definitely delicious. In Chicago from out of town and dialed bellonas up and was pleasantly satisfied. Good food! I would most definitely order again. read more

Every time I order from There - something goes wrong. Mostly, the service is horrible, food never arrives on time- I try to give them another chance but same experience. "Nikko the Manager" hung up on me 2x. He does not apologize for the port service... his response is they're "busy". Welcome to Chicago and ordering food on the wknd! Worst service in Chicago. read more

This is my favorite pizza place! Makes me ratatouille/ nostalgic for a pizza from my childhood. Get the Bellonas' Special but be warned its very greasy. read more

Amazing food and attention to detail regarding service. Best pizza in the neighborhood and the owner is one of the coolest guys around. Whenever we want take out pizza, there's no doubt we come here. Great homey ambiance with nice people making great food . Do yourself a favor and pull up read more

This is how you do deep dish pizza, great sauce, good amount of cheese, and a great crust! I ordered four deep dish pizzas online on Slice so I could get them before heading back to Nebraska. The pizzas took a bit longer than the estimated time but I had no problem waiting, Bellonas is always worth it! The person at the register even threw in a free soda for the wait. While I was waiting, they brought out their pizzas that they sell by the slice. I was a bit hungover so I bought a couple of pepperoni slices, which also includes a soda with the purchase of the two slices, score! When I tell you that slice brought me back to life! So delicious! All my family is excited that I brought them their own pizzas, even if it is now technically "left over" pizza, it is still the best deep dish we have tasted. Do not waste your time at those chain pizza stores, COME TO BELLONAS! You won't regret it sorry for not taking a picture of the deep dish! read more

Bellonas Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is a fantastic local business, with owners that are very invested in the community. Their pizza is some of the best I've had anywhere! I love their thin crust Chicago Combo pizza with Italian Beef, Italian Sausage, & Giardiniera. The kids love that they do bacon pizza. They have old school RC Cola and now have some desserts I want to try (cheesecake and tres leches). I would love it if they started offering a salad or two on their menu - I love a Greek salad with my pizza! But I can't complain: prices are reasonable, quality is great and consistent and the service is excellent!! read more

I ordered online thinking a Friday special came with a free dessert. I misread the specials and was given a free dessert anyway, simply because they wanted us to try their desserts. The only thing better than their pizza is their customer service; it's clear they really care about taking care of everyone. And their pizza is definitely our go-to place to order at this point! read more

Honestly one of the best neighborhood pizza places I've been to, especially for the price. Owner truly seems to care about his customers and always plans to take care of them. And the pizza? Phenomenal. Makes big chains like dominos feel like little Caesar's. Never been a disappointment. Will always come back as long as im in the area. read more

I love grabbing an Italian beef every week from Bellona's, the service is quick & the workers are very nice. Occasionally I grab a small cheese pizza with basil read more

This has been our go to pizza place for the last six months. Thin is excellent but pan pizza is pretty special too! The guys are all very nice, great service. I highly recommend you give Bellonas a try. read more

We've lived in the area for 9yrs and finally tried this place. Got 2 small thin crust 1) Hawaiian which is fantastic ! 1) pepperoni, mushroom, garlic, onion also very good and 1 Italian beef. Great prices can't wait to try the deep dish and we will totally be ordering the Hawaiian thin crust again read more

First time trying this pizza and the whole family approves! We had the Bellonas special and the other half spinach and tomato, and we also got the pepperoni pizza. What I liked about the pizza was that it was thin. It was crunchy. It had enough sauce on it with enough cheese. The ingredients were delicious. The people were wonderful on the phone and when I walked in. Thanks for the experience! We will be back. read more

Recently moved from Uptown and exploring local pizza spots and unfortunately was disappointed. -Sauce flavor is great, but it's too watery -Crust is flavorful, but too thin in the base -Way too much cheese My main complaint is there was NO structure. The ratio of cheese to crust was off and it completely fell apart. I love cheese, but I had to pull half of it off to eat the slice. The base crust was so thin, it was sogged through and super floppy. I had to eat with a fork and was left feeling not full. A few adjustments and this could be a great pan pizza. read more

Bellonas Pizza - Pan Pizza with 1 Topping - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Live around the corner always wanted to try. I walked in and got a slice to go and at first bite the pizza was very very good. Perfect Chicago thin stye crust and taste will be coming back! They are also extremely welcoming at the counter. read more

We ordered 2 large pizzas (one deep dish) and they were great! lots and lots of cheese which I was happy with. We also got onion rings which were tasty Will definitely order again read more

The pizza was delicious! The owner and staff had amazing customer service. To be honest I wish I had the sauce recipe. The sauce had a different flavor and spice that I haven't tasted before. I would highly recommend the thin crust pizza. Keep up the passion and drive to be different than every other pizza joint in Chicago. read more

We were able to order and pick up our order so quick and easy. We decided to try their thin crust bellonas special and added pepperoni, I thought the pizza was good, the crust wasn't my favorite but the ingredients were fresh and plentiful. I'm happy to support local businesses in my neighborhood and next time we'll try their deep dish! read more

Best Chicago style pizza in the neighborhood (and surrounding). Love their stuffed pizza and thin crust. Sauce is super herbed and flavorful and toppings are fresh! Incredibly reasonable pricing. Very nice people! read more

I don't cook much and I've been ordering in a lot during the pandemic. I found this place online, so I gave it a try and ordered for delivery. The guy on the phone was nice and I ordered a sausage pizza. It came pretty quickly and it was very good. The sausage is totally baked under the cheese, not on top like most places I've had pizza in Chicago. The crust was OK and the flavor was very good. This is a decent backup place near my apartment. read more

This place is ridiculous. Tony (the manager) is unprofessional. He calls his female customers "honey" when explaining why a 7:34pm order doesn't get delivered until AFTER 9:45pm. He waited to update the customer until 8:40pm to tell him 20 minutes when we called at 9:22pm and he states he is drivers short. You need to communicate with your customers and redeem you business. Do not call your customers out of their name. That is disgusting and degrading. read more

Decided to switch it up the other night with my same ol go to. Noticed that this was a neighborhood spot that doesn't disappoint -- ordered a XL half cheese half pepperoni and onion well done . This not only satisfied but had me wanting more. Defiantly my new go to spot . Quality with a great price and great family run spot read more

Bellonas Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really good neighborhood pizza! Small operation, friendly folks! Glad I gave it a try! read more

I hate giving 2 star reviews but I'm feeling frustrated in my search for good (actually, I'd settle for decent!) thin crust pizza in Chicago.So, my apologies to Bellonas for ranting a bit. But darn, with all the 4 and 5 star reviews I was set up a huge disappointment. And indeed I was. The large pepperoni and mushroom pizza didn't meet the "decent" threshold. Am I being too tough you think? No. I'm sure I'm not. The sauce was ok, the toppings were almost average (mushrooms brought them down) and the crust was horrible. The dense thin crust tasted like cardboard. And as leftovers? Yuck. I didn't like it fresh or next day. Sorry. Still searching. read more

First time ordering from Bellonas. The good...Everything! ratio cheese dough and sauce on point! cooked to perfection. delicious crust, above average sauce very balanced and quality whole milk mozzarella cheese blend. The bad...(I knew this) We are out of their delivery zone but being a first time customer I figured I could pull a fast one and I did. Bellonas cheers to you! Not many places on the north side make a good Chicago tavern style thing crust pizza. read more

Roast beef pizza is the Best. you cannot go wrong with the roast beef pizza. it won't disappoint.

Pizza was okay, the sauce was sweet, but not really my kind of pizza. The crust wasn't my favorite. The service and friendliness of the staff is beyond exceptional. I would go back for that, not nessessarily the food. read more

I wasn't intending on leaving a review but now feel like I have to... I have ordered, both pick-up and delivery, from Bellona's at least 10 times over the last year or so. The food is defintely better than average, with the pizza being better than most. However, the delivery has been dreadful. Four out of the last five times I have ordered delivery they have either gotten my drink order wrong or simply did not deliver it. The latest time I even specifically told the person taking the order on the phone that I have had issues with not receiving the correct drink order only to have the driver completely forget to bring it. My recommendation: do not order delivery and only order for pick-up. It's unfortunate considering how good the food is. read more

Omg I'm dreaming of this pizza. It was bomb .com like literally. The sauce is so good. We got the thin crust pepperoni and sausage. We had this for the game of thrones finale. It was better than the episode. I ate ten slices. It is very addicting. The cheese had a nice golden brown color. It does not get better than this well maybe if you add jalapenos. Lol but definitely highly recommend it. They also sell slices. But man this pizza is highly memorable. read more

This place is so AMAZING! My in-laws like a place called Crust something ...NOT. So we tried here...and fell in love! You have got to try this place..the toppings and crust is to perfection and they top it off with great customer service! Family owned! It looks like a litte hole in the wall...usually the best places are like this...ANYWAY no fancy stuff...just great homemade pizza! I promise you will come back again and again!!! read more

Food is great have been coming here for almost 3 years now I order 2-3 times a month when I order for delivery always comes in a timely matter the deep dish is always a must prices are decent and the staff is very friendly as well read more

Bad costumer service. Pizza is so good and everything but I ordered and it took 1 hour and 30 minutes then I called to see if it was on the way and said they needed an extra 30 minutes. I told the guy I would like to cancer the order in a nice way . He told me he is not going to take orders from me anymore . Good food but bad costumer service never again. read more

glad my coworker told me about this place. i have been getting the junior size thin crust which is the perfect size pizza for 1 person. got it for my mom once, and she said their pizza is "cute" LOL. toppings are baked under the cheese, so it is a "surprise" xD read more

This was the greasiest pizza I've ever eaten. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not exactly good either. When I told the guy behind the counter that I was literally in the process of moving into the neighborhood, he told me to take a 2L bottle of soda, compliments of the house. I thought this was super cool until I saw the menu and anyone who orders a large one topping gets free soda. Either way though, I'm a winner. They have a few tables inside their shop, but it looks like the majority of their business is delivery or take out. They're right down the street from me, so I'm sure I'll be ordering again from them, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get their greasy pies. read more

I first tried this at a friends place when they ordered in on a Friday night. We had the stuffed pizza with spinach, simply amazing.They use a tangy homemade sauce & fresh dough. The pizza oozed with cheese (a bit too much for me but who doesn't like cheese?!). This is now my number one spot for stuffed pizza (even though I have to go out of my way to get it). I have never had it delivered, always pick it up hot & Fresh. read more
