It was 9:30 after a VERY long day of travel. The kids weren't willing to sleep without full bellies. So, this exhausted momma was thankful to find Big G's quick and delicious pizza by the slice, and only a half a block from our Airbnb!! I had the tomato, spinach, and feta. I'll be dreaming of this pizza from now on. I ended up with an extra slice to go!! The perfect blend of crispy and chewy crust with plenty of yummy tomatoes. My 11 year old said her slice was "the best cheese pizza ever"!! We'll definitely be back when we have time to order off their extensive menu. Excellent and friendly service to boot, with fun wall decor to peruse while eating. Thanks Big G!! read more

Slices were amazing! Went with the suggested slices of Mac N Cheese, Philly and classic pepperoni. Service was fast and courteous and the food was fresh. It's BYOB as well so makes for a simple date night! A must to visit and short walking distance from Wrigley Field. read more

Small pizza place by Wrigley Field. Pizza is pretty good being we're from New York area and are usually wary of pizza outside our area. Had a ton of specialty pizzas. The person working was friendly and answered all our questions. The cheesesteak pizza was my favorite! Mac and cheese pizza also had a good amount of cheese which made it better than other places I've had Mac and cheese pizza at. read more

I went down to check out Wrigley Field. I'm a Red Sox fan who thought it would be cool to see the only ballpark older than Fenway. Walking around the park I saw familiar names on the pavers. First Harry Carey, then Mark Grace, then Bill Buckner. Seriously, WTF Cubs? I thought we were brothers in suffering but apparently you hate us. Then I found Big G's and got a slice of Beef Stroganoff pizza and it completely redeemed the whole neighborhood. This place has great and inventive types of slices. Maybe next time I'll get the Chicken Parmigiana slice. Shout out to Brady Tkachuk, maybe he'd like it. read more

The owner is the sweetest funniest guy and the food is absolutely amazing! I love this place

solid pizza, i order it well done so the bottom is a bit more crispy and i've never had a complaint. have ordered probably 30-40 times over the years. don't get the chocolate chip cookies tho, they're legitimately terrible which is almost impossible when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. get the lemon blueberry cookie instead. but for pizza, you're in good hands. read more

Very delicious!! Loved the crust loved the sauce loved the cheese! The person working behind the counter was also very kind. And pizza was still just as good cold the next day. Loved it. Perfect drunk food or sober food lol read more

Big G's Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza & Mac n Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Big G's Pizza gives me flashbacks of my college days! I know Chicago has a lot of great pizza places but only a few offer a diverse selection of gourmet slices and a monthly specialty pizza slice. I first discovered Big G's Pizza after a night out, I feel like this is probably how most people find out about the restaurant. I have been to Big G's Pizza way too many times that I can count and I have not been disappointed. The pizza slices are a nice size, you can easily get by with just one, and they offer a variety of gourmet slices. The prices are reasonable especially for a place so close to Wrigley Field and busy bars. I really like that even though Big G's Pizza is closer to Wrigley Field they don't focus on having a fancy dinning area and keep the place looking like a classic hole in the wall pizza joint. They have a lot of cool murals around the restaurant and highlight valued customers by posting pictures of them on the walls. I would highly recommend checking out Big G's Pizza if you are looking a NY Style slice of pizza. read more

Garlic knots are absolutely gas here at big G's. Satisfied my essential garlic knot craving and would come back 100x!!!! Xoxo

Big G's has been here a minute. At least since before all the new businesses moved in. Back when people hit bars for beers and drunks walked the streets seeking food till 4 am.. Ahh, gone are those good ol' days. (Wrigleyville was a different drunken scene a decade ago. More fun and higher populations. Drunken douchebags aside.) Aside from Dimo's, this is that other thin crust pizza joint in Wrigleyville offering specialty slices. All those crazy slice offerings like mac n' cheese, taco something, pulled pork, etc. It's not the cleanest place nor are their employees following all the rules of cleanliness but, when you feel like a tasty slice with a drink.. there ya go. Nowadays depending on how busy the night is, there are times I've passed by and found them closed or just unwilling to answer the phone despite posted hours of operation.** There are times of great slices and there are times they don't look very appetizing. The slices on display can look quite unappealing at Midnight and there after. As far as my preferences, I am slice specific nowadays. A good cheese or 1-2 topping with ample red sauce is what I am most hungry for. If I don't see a good one, I'll bail. Until recently when on a whim I decided to order a full pie. Holy crap.. the full pie was EXCELLENT! Not like, I'm drunk wow this is so good excellent. Like; wait, I'm sober and this actually tastes reasonably good. And to think it only took some many years and terrible looking display slices to force me to buy a whole pie.. Hmm. The best part, compared to the per slice it makes the best sense to order a full. Note: When storing. Leave'em in the freezer. I've found that when these slices are heated at 350F in an oven for some ten or so minutes, they come out perfect. read more

Big G's Pizza - A medium two topping pizza. Mushrooms & sausage with extra sauce. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came in when wandering around the neighborhood recently, and I really want to give it more stars...but the fact they didn't have gloves on, no heat lamps under food, and other general dirtiness in the kitchen area, I couldn't give more stars. I will say the slice I had was okay. I got one of their specialty slices, hamburger and pepperoni. Which has ground beef that is seasoned and pepperoni. As I said, the pizza wasnt bad, but the crust was like eating rubber if it were crunchy. Overall not a great experience, but if in the area and willing to overlook some quirks, you're guaranteed to find something you like. Also, prices are solid, as a large slice and drink was $6.75, so not bad for being a block from Wrigley. read more

Big G's Pizza - Hamburger and pepperoni slice - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

They're not open for quite as many hours as they used to be, but the pizza is good forever.

Love big gs. They have so many unique toppings for their pizza but honestly their pepperoni is amazing if you don't like all the extras. Only a few places in Chicago serve New York style slices and this is one of them. They're open late and perfect for after a baseball game or after bar crawling in wrigley. The owner is super cool too and if you come enough you'll end up on the wall . read more

My friend and I stopped at Big G's for New York Style pizza. He's from Queens, New York. I had a BBQ chicken pizza and pepperoni pizza. It is sold by the slice. I was hoping for a sausage slice but didn't have any more at the time. They did have some interesting toppings: Maccaroni & Cheese and some kind of Thanksgiving Dinner slice. I asked my friend if this was a common thing in New York and he said Yes. I would recommend going to Big G's but perhaps earlier in the day so that you have more options to choose from. The slices were Good so my rating is based on availability of toppings at the time. If there was a higher rating, I would give it a 3.5 star. As always, I hope it helps. Check it out for yourself and form your own opinion. read more

A great variety of toppings and combinations, sold by the pie or slice. The garlic knots and house-made ranch are delicious. Super friendly staff. read more

I was really impressed. Lots of unique pizza combinations like the Philly Cheesesteak and the Chicken Parmigiana and Macaroni & Cheese. Each one does a great job of putting your favorite meal on a nice chewy and yeast-flavored pizza dough. I placed my order through yelp and it was ready earlier then expected and they did exactly what I wanted which was to cook the pizzas longer so they'd be extra crispy. I'll be honest... it smelled so good, I could wait the 10mins to get home and had to have some right there lol. read more

In a pinch before a show at the Metro next door my husband and I came in for a couple of quick slices. They didn't offer up the best pizza I've ever had but for a very quick bite they certainly got the job done. I think I was more impressed with my pepperoni that my husband was with his sausage, but we both found them satisfying. They're well known for their mac and cheese pizza, and I remember when they opened with that almost a decade ago when I lived in Chicago, so perhaps that's worth trying in the future. Service was friendly and the seating was fine for a quick in and out meal. Not a remarkable experience but very serviceable and the perfect place for a quick bite if you need sustenance before a show or a baseball game up the street. read more

Big G's Pizza is hands down the best pizza in Wrigglyville. When it comes to flavor, price,portions and atmosphere, this pizza place really knocks it out of the park (pun intended). Great place to grab a slice with friends as you'll have a ton of great tasting well thought out taste options with fresh ingredients including an exceptional hand tossed crust that holds up to the taste bud popping toppings. Also friendly staff and great customer service if you need help choosing a slice or ordering a whole pizza. read more

Doesn't get much better than Big G's! The pies are as delicious as they are creative. Whether you pop in for a slice (or two) to go, or stay a while (BYOB!), or enjoy it for delivery (which I did last night), you cannot go wrong. Mac and Cheese pizza is fire! And the wings are an underrated beauty. Right across from Wrigley Field. Excellent life decision to try it! read more

OMG excellent NY pizza! We got a large cheese pie, the best way to determine whether a pizza is good is to taste the actual pizza. And this one was great! And it passed the NYC "flop test" with flying colors. Bonus is that the owner is a really friendly, nice guy! Double bonus is it is BYOB so if you need to eat your pizza out of the oven hot like we do, just bring a couple of beers and sit down. read more

You can never go wrong with Mac and cheese Pizza. It was obviously delish! However can't really say the same for the funnel cake fries and Nutella bombs they were ehh mediocre. But I still come back here often only for the Mac and cheese Pizza it really is that good. The delivery service is always quick and fast. read more

I think this is the best pizza in Chicago! Yes, better than deep dish. The quality of the NY style crust and sauce is always perfect -- crispy, not too oily or sugary. A large size feeds a deceivingly large amount of people. Even a pepperoni pizza tastes fantastic, and I nearly devoured a whole large pizza the first time I tasted it. Love a pepperoni and garlic combo (pictured). I buy this pizza for my out of town guests and they love it. Staff is always friendly and at this point recognize me by face and name. Highly recommend, and you are supporting local while you order! read more

Unfortunately, the kid serving our pizza was grabbing it with his bare hands (no gloves or tongs). It was pretty gross :( and I did not have time to react. He was picking up the phone and using the cash register in between doing so as well. It all felt pretty unsanitary. We resorted to cutting off the crust he grabbed when we got home. read more

Popped in after a Cubs game for a quick bite... cause, ya know, those footlong hotdogs in the stadium weren't quite enough junk food. ;-) Big G's is an awesome, local pizza joint with your tradition pizzas, but most notably, their non-traditional. We got a pizza with potato and bacon- mmmm, very filling. Cheap, easy, no-frills eat. Not easy to find in Wrigleyville- but we are happy we popped in! read more

I love this place! I have ordered the pizza, garlic knots, and the smore ravioli. They do crazy pizza's! I haven't tried them yet but their regular pizza is so good! Its my favorite in the Lakeview area. I always look forward to pizza night at my house, because this is where I am going. read more

I'd like to give a big shout out to Big G's Pizza in Tampa FL. The pizza is amazing and they have so many selections. I usually order a large amount of pizza's when I'm in the area to take into my customers. As a outside sales rep I look for quality and value for my customers. The staff at Big G's are always friendly and take care of my orders quickly. You can count on them each and every time. read more

Walked in before the Cubs home opener game. I've heard Mr G's Mac and cheese pizza was the best in Chicago So I had to check it out while had the chance. Off the bat right when I walked in I didn't not feel welcomed at all Hispanic guy at counter has horrible customer service! Now back to the pizza. Mac and cheese was the best Mac and cheese slice I've had but like most Mac and cheese pizza it's was a little bland...I add little bit of garlic salt made a big difference. The cheese pizza was basic nothing special would not recommend! The Mac and Cheese is definitely a must try if ur in WrigleyVille. read more

I love stopping by this place after a show a few doors down at Metro. Pizza by the slice! A little more expensive than you'd pay elsewhere for a single slice, but with the toppings, it's more than worth it. They usually have maybe 7 or 8 options of unique pizza topping combos to choose from that change depending on the day. I loooove the mac & cheese pizza. As with any pizza by the slice spot, some of the slices have been sitting out for awhile. They still taste good to me so that's not a deterrent at all, but if you're not into that kind of thing, ask which pizza is freshest or just order your own full pizza. I'm out of their delivery zone so I'd never ordered delivery here, but a few weeks ago I was in Lakeview we got a pepperoni pizza delivered. I'd never had just a regular pizza there, usually I order the stuff with the craziest ingredients -- but this was ridiiiiiculously good and the delivery came super fast. It's a little greasy but that's the way I like it. Last time I was at this place they were playing the OJ documentary on the television, and the entire place was silent because everyone was so engaged with it. I think I stayed an extra half hour after I finished my pizza to finish the doc and they didn't kick me out, so kudos to them! read more

This is my first time trying the pizza even though I pass by the place every day- I've never been a fan of Dimos sadly. I got the El Diablo because I definitely enjoy a good spice challenge and it didn't disappoint. Not too spicy that I didn't enjoy the flavors, but definitely had my sweating. Excited to try more flavors! read more

After passing Big G's multiple times over the past few years, I decided it was time to stop in and see what it was all about. There aren't a ton of NY style pizza places in the city and this one does not disappoint. Their garlic knots are super tender and tasty, enough garlic to leave you wanting more but not a disgusting breath after. The pizza itself was cooked well, not soft but not over crisped, was easily foldable which is key with NY style. Their blueberry lemon cookie sealed the deal with the meal. All in all a great place that I will definitely be ordering from again soon read more
