Pizza was fabulous! Highly recommend the meat lovers pizza and the wings, especially the garlic Parmesan. Owners are welcoming and they host fun big brother nights and trivia. The late night pizza window also came in handy!! read more

pizza was average (not bad). the service was cool asl that's really why I'm giving them 4 stars. The ambiance is very inviting.

45 minutes for a small pizza is crazy... to boot, they brought a pizza for another person 30 min in and then had to take it back. No one in the store... just incredibly slow service read more

Amazing experience! The pizza was delicious and the drinks are quality! (And affordable) I love the lighting and atmosphere. Plus the staff are so kind read more

Love this place! Open late, sells by the slice, and everyone working is so nice! They only have one bathroom stall but the rest of the place has plenty of seating options read more

Big Gay Sal’s Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

3 negative experiences with service and treatment as a customer. We have entered in 3 times and left with no food due to poor treatment by staff. Today's incident was with security, who ignored us initially and later wanted to engage by talked down and telling us we were in the way. I am so sorry but definitely will never try ever again, need better management and they don't deserve my money. read more

We had a lovely time here. Just left a well known establishment up the street around 3am and wanted pizza pizza before we took a rideshare back to the hotel. We stopped in and asked Cole, the handsome man with the deep voice behind the counter, which pie he suggested. We were directed to the taco twirl. We also got some fries, a slice of pepperoni, and some mozzarella sticks. While we waited for the free pizza to finish up in the oven, we enjoyed nice banter with both Cole and, Big Gay Sal himself who recently celebrated a birthday. This honestly felt like such a homey environment. I wish there were more gay owned businesses like this where I live!! read more

I can't think of a more convivial topper to an evening of debauchery in Boystown than this popular pizza spot on North Halsted. I believe it's only been open for a couple of months, but it already has my favorite neon sign, "Feed Me Pizza and Tell Me I'm Pretty" (photo: https://yelp.to/npSaHeUUpg). The positive vibe comes primarily from the sunny owner whom I presume to be Big Gay Sal. He was smiling behind the counter greeting all the customers. The pizza selection was pretty standard and sold by the slice. A slice was all Jamie W. and I wanted after imbibing one too many vodka slushies at Sidetrack. I had the Pepperoni (photo: https://yelp.to/jrBaVOBOjo) and Jamie had the Vegetarian (photo: https://yelp.to/iVOD4enXFn). Sure, they weren't artisanal masterpieces, but hey, that wasn't our aim at midnight. Besides, when the staff is this friendly, you just want to hang and stay pretty. FOOD - 3.5 stars...familiar pizza slices AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...very bright space with a lot of seating SERVICE - 5 stars...it starts with Sal TOTAL - 4 stars...I feel pretty, oh so pretty...and it's open until 5PM RELATED - Exploring Chicago?

The pizza is mediocre and the POS system forces you to tip. The correct setup would be no tip by default and the customer chooses a tip

Security tonight was very rude & on a power trip. Will not be back in a while because of this rude large man with blue eyes. Rude to us when we entered as well as when we left. read more

Delish pizza and wings! We stopped by for a weekday lunch when we were in the area, and had a great experience. Service is extremely accommodating and attentive, there is ample, comfortable seating, adorable decor, and the vibes are so fun and friendly. I love that they offer every type of pizza by the slice! We ordered slices of veggie and meat lovers pizza, as well as the spicy honey wings - everything was very good. If we had been there a little later in the day, we would have enjoyed a drink from their fully stocked bar. Highly recommend a visit! read more

Great pizza, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Good value for your money. I recommend it.

I've walked by this place so many times, but I'm glad I finally have it a try. The pizza has the perfect crust to toppings ratio! Pictures don't lie... this pizza is big, delicious, and if you like it, definitely get the jalapenos on top. The mozzarella sticks and cheese bread are perfect to begin with. Although we sat in the back, our waitress was super attentive and we never had to ask for extra of anything. The big neon light in the back is really intriguing, and the seating is ample for you and all of your friends. If you want to try something new in boystown, this is the spot to start at! read more

Big Gay Sal’s Pizza - 16" CYO Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here super late on a Saturday (around 3:30am) and fortunately they were open for us. It's getting harder and harder to find late night eateries around this area in a post-pandemic world, but this place that is fairly new came in clutch for us. Staff was friendly (even for that late night hour). We ordered a little pizza and took it home on the train. It was still warm and tasty when we got home. It wasn't a life-changing pizza, but for that hour, anything sufficed. Pizza was still good overall. read more

Wonderful vibe here! Veggie Pizza was fresh and tasty. Sal the owner is a delight - warm, friendly, attentive. read more

As Dorothy says on Golden Girls, "Why don't we go really high-fiber and spread ketchup on cardboard?" A Friday night at 7 pm, dinner hour. Ordered individual slices of pepperoni, sausage and veggie. Veggie was just cold, and the other two were lukewarm. None had enough of the "house made sauce" to make a difference. So bland it did taste like ketchup and cardboard. You're one of the only grab-and-go joints on Halsted. Do better if you want to stick around. read more

Solid slice spot in the heart of Chicago's Boystown neighborhood. They don't yet have alcohol, but indicated it was coming soon! They have a wide variety of slices and I recommend ordering those as an actual pizza takes much longer. Still working though some kinks but food was solid and staff was super friendly! read more

AMAZINGGGGG and Sal is super nice. Everyone please come and enjoy. Food is amazing and staff is so accommodating

After one minute of having conversations with friends, my friend and I were told to be quiet while the other (sober) friend we weren't being loud or obnoxious. I understand this place being an establishment but considering the amount of time that we had been sitting and talking, it seemed like maybe they didn't want us here at all. I could hear other conversations in this establishment and no one else was told to be quiet so I am genuinely offended about this. read more

I love coming here. The staff is super friendly. Tonight I had a slice of meat lovers and a slice of loaded pizza which has lots of stuff on it. They're both delicious and served nice and hot. It's a cute place. It's immaculate. It's really clean and the pizza is just great. read more

My buddies came in into town and stopped here for dinner and they didn't stop talking about it all weekend long. So I had to stop in and try it for myself on their recommendation and it did not disappoint. Solid crust, tangy sauce and good toppings. Happy hour is four dollar drafts which is a killer deal in the city. read more

Exactly what was needed after a night at Roscoes. Tons of options, big slices, friendly staff. And they're not frugal with the parmesan packets. Really met the objective. read more

That was the driest, sauceless pizza I've ever had in my life, with cardboard crust. It was horrible. Don't recommend.

I went here last night on my way home from a Sunday Funday. The staff was incredibly friendly! Like from the moment I walked over the threshold they shouted out greetings and were just super nice. I stuck with a basic slice of cheese. The Pizza was tasty and exactly what I wanted. One of the partners was working the register too and again was super friendly. It's nice to see a locally owned and operated place where service is a tenet. I would definitely go back. read more

Say his name! What's his name? "Big Gay Sal!" If you are out in Boystown aka North Halstead and you are looking for a tasty snack, stop at Big Gay Sals. The pizza is delicious, the drinks be poppin, and the service is impeccable. We have been here 5 times since it opened 2 months ago and everytime the food hits and the drinks are great. Please say "hi" to Claudia, Lady Diana or Sal and whether your a T, a B, or a V you'll love the food here! read more

Big Gay Sal’s Pizza - Allen, Husband, Sal, Me. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered a 12-in loaded pizza, mozz sticks, and a brownie for takeout. Everything I ate was delicious. Really great topping distribution on the pizza, crust was on the thinner side with the perfect amount of crunch, mozz sticks went perfect with the marinara, and the brownie was delicious as well. Pizza was just as good the next day cold or reheated. Will be ordering here more in the future! read more

This place is much better than Domino's and is the best pizza place. You get greeted once you come in, and the workers are really nice. I wish I could rate 200 stars. read more

You may not expect it, but this place has one of the best takeout Pizzas you can get in this neighborhood. Great price and delicious taste.

Stopped in after market days to grab a slice, we were famished from the festival. I ordered a slice of sausage and it was not great at all. It tasted like a tombstone frozen pizza, but with more cheese and sauce. There's better places in the neighborhood for a slice. read more

GREAT FOOD. AMAZING. Food came hot. My friend loved their pizza. Their bathroom was like a portapotty in design and was awesome. The staff is very kind. Overall 100/10 read more

This was such a cool new spot we came across while checking out some bars in the area. They're open late, the service was fantastic, and the pizza was even better. We got sausage and meat lovers, but our fave was the chicken ranch. Definitely check it out! read more

The food - the crust has not improved since they opened & the toppings are flavorless. Really unsure how hard it is to get pizza this wrong but they need to not focus on the bar & focus on their food read more

Went for the first time tonight! Pizza slices are delicious and HUGE. Food came out super fast and the staff could not possibly have been nicer. 10/10 service. The vibe is also really cute. I'll definitely come again. Will probably check out the daily specials and happy hour. read more

$15 for 2 slices. Couldn't make it up. Really odd for a couple slices that have been laying out. The service was good, only redeeming point. Pizzas are at best fine. Especially the slices. Ive had full pizzas and its better. Bottomline, slices should be at most $3 read more

I ordered two slices of pizza and asked for a cup of water with it. They told me I had to buy an alcoholic drink for them to give me a water with it. What kind of police it that? I ordered food. And forcing me to drink? That's messed up. Won't be coming back. A disgrace to NYNY - Ybors name as I heard it was inspired from. read more

Amazing pizza, refreshing beer, great location, well decorated & clean;; what more can you ask for?!?!

This pizza is legit and it's a cool place to hang out. Service is also top notch. Definitely check this place out

The pizza is amazing. We usually get delivery but the back patio is a sorta hidden gem and the staff is all super friendly.
