Go-to for a unique pizza experience. We bring everyone new or visiting the city here, especially for the Mac N Cheese and BBQ pulled pork pizza. BYOB is the cherry on top. The staff is always super nice, they gave my sister- a non-Chicago native, s'mores ravioli on her birthday. read more

Great pizza. We came with our 4 kids and none of them were disappointed. Huge selection of toppings and a fun, family friendly atmosphere next to Wrigley field. Only complaint is that they do not have ice. We will be back. read more

Good pizza, Friendly service, poor atmosphere. The whole time my wife and I were in there, they were blasting uncensored rap music. The mac n cheese was kinda plain, but I had Jack Daniels pulled pork pizza and it was really good read more

Pizza was soggy and service was poor. Also, do NOT pay full price, they constantly offer a groupon for a 20-in pizza and salad. Just google it and save money. If you don't care about quality, that is. You do get a lot of food for a little money. read more

This guy's are epicness!! The pizza is fantastic, and the staff even better. Sooo many options and something for everybody. I come here at lease ocne a week, and you should too... read more

Pizza is great but I loved the boiled wings even more! True to their names the teriyaki, barbecue & buffalo wings are delicious and fresh. Looking forward to next time ! :) read more

Great pizza to pick up as you go home. Don't get it for delivery though. I ordered a few slices for delivery thinking it would be quick since they're always prepared. I've been waiting for an hour and 40 minutes on a Tuesday for a few slices of pizza and it's still not here. A bit ridiculous if you ask me. I could have ordered a fresh pizza and eaten it by now. Easily. read more

This pizza is the best pizza I've had since I moved here from the east coast. You should eat this pizza. Tastes good with alcohol.

Not bad pizza, but delivery consistency is a problem. This time my pizza was cold- like it had been outside for while, before it had been over an hour late, one time it was early, but they forgot my drink. read more

this place is so good!! I love coming here for the late night pizza cravings w my group of friends!! best price for the best food.

Love the mac n cheese pizza. Cool laid-back place. Menu has many delicious options, including seasonal options.

I was a huge Ian's fan as far as "specialty, value slices in Wrigley" were concerned, but after I tried Big G's and those bold flavors rocked my world, I'M NEVER TURNING BACK. This place is my new go-to for a pre/post lunch/dinner slice. Everyone is friendly, very helpful, and the pies are fresh and piping hot. No gimmicks and $1 bottles of water. I'm going to get a BBQ chicken slice....NOW read more

Since moving here from NYC a few months ago, my husband and I have been on the look out for a some what comparable (by Chicago standards) pizza. We had a groupon for this place which was going to expire at the end of this month so went to Big G's for lunch today and got a large pizza. Half of it was the BBQ Chicken Bacon and the other half was the Jack Daniels BBQ Pulled Pork. The flavors were very very good but the crust on the pizza was very uneaven and that totally ruined the pizza for us. In some places it was nice and crispy and thin and in other parts the pizza was all doughy and just totally inedible. I had to throw out a LOT of dough and just pick off the toppings. I'm hoping that our experience was just a one off fluke due to all the amazing reviews I have read. We would probably be willing to come back and try the pizza's here again although I would probably come back with another groupon as I couldn't imagine paying full price for the pizza's here. The one thing that I must say is that the staff here was very friendly and hospitable. For that I would give them a 5/5! read more

Make sure you are hungry because this was absolutely the largest pizza I ever ordered in my life. We had it delivered (the 3 veggie pizza) and was bumping the sides of the box against the doorway as I brought it in to my apartment. Great, thin crust, the veggies were fresh (and I'm a huge fan of spinach on pizza) and the slices are so large they are very filling. But wait, we ordered garlic knots. Oh, the garlic knots, they are manna from heaven. Hot, covered in garlic and they come with a dipping sauce. You have your choice of marinara or ranch and I went with marinara (the thought of ranch with them makes me ill). Order them and the pizza, you will not be disappointed. read more

TL;DR version, because I don't want to harp on the negative: waited an hour, call from Eat24 -no delivery, go to pick up, food still not ready, Eat24/fax machine snafu. Crabby. The lone, frazzled employee (owner? Big G himself?) talks me into waiting, which I agree to because 20 minutes for pizza is faster than starting new somewhere else. Then the customer service kicks into high gear: I ordered a large pizza, wings, and a salad. He charged me for ONLY the wings, and upsized to an extra large pizza. No hard feelings here, then! Oh, and the pizza is really, really good. I went traditional - pepperoni, onions, and mushrooms, and all the toppings were solid. And my NYC brother-in-law, who had to wait just as long as I did, declared the thin crust fully up to snuff. The wings are fine -- grilled wings just aren't going to be as good as fried, if you ask me -- and the salad was pretty good. But the pizza's the star. Anyway, they went beyond professional and into the reaches of generosity when it came to dealing with their mistake. So I'll be back, for sure. read more

Just had my first experience via delivery. Ordered the Chicken Parmesan twenty incher. Phone ordered, super simple- as it should be. Price was not bad at all for Chicago- $28. Delivery time also gets no complaints- about 40 mins or so. And let's be honest, anyone who ever bitches about delivery time in a city has either A. Never worked at a delivery restaurant B. Believes there is a traffic control wizard out there or C. On a power trip The pizza was fantastic. This coming from your average pizza lover with a little extra experience in the pizza business. Not dropping with grease, which was relieving. The cheese tasted like cheese and was not over nor under loaded. Sauce has a good garlicish aftertaste, and the toppings tasted fairly fresh. Overall, I would recommend this place for delivery and eats. I'm happily fed, I'm not sick, and I'm not broke. read more

I love their mac and cheese pizza! I'm moving farther away and won't be able to enjoy it as often, but I will definitely go out of the way to get my fix. Sooo delicious and the prices and portion is amazing. read more

Big G's is THE best pizza I have ever had in Chicago. They figured out how to make the perfect crust, amazing toppings options and that big New York slice feeling. This is what pizza is supposed to taste like. I ordered two pies late at night and they were delivered within the hour, still hot and perfectly cooked. This is easily my new go to pizza location whether I'm looking for a slice or to feed a party. read more

I'll start with this; I've been here both drunk AND sober, and both experiences were equally as lit. The pizza options are ridiculously creative and good, and the service is good; everyone's nice, but not overly nice, like uncomfy nice where it gets on your nerves. But that ain't the point. This is a genuinely good eating establishment and it's next door to the Metro, so what more can you ask for? 10/10 read more

Great pizza. Best since Italy. Nice crispy pizza. I was able to eat two pieces. No line cheap. Prefect.

This place is great. Didn't really know what to expect when someone told me to get mac n cheese pizza (didn't even know that existed) but boy were they right! I also got just a regular pepperoni cuz I wanted to see how their "normal" pizza was too....The pepperoni was terrific, the crust is awesome...really thin new york style, but still crispy the whole way through. Will definitely be stopping in at Big G's when I'm at Wrigley. read more

Love the pizza. I tried several different types. The first time I was at Big Gs, I choose a slice that had goat cheese and tomatoes. It was deleece. The second time, I had several slices--Yum! The avocado burrito pizza just tastes cool. The mac'n'cheese pizza had the best crust as well as pure comfort food. What could be better than combining your 2 fave foods: mac'n'cheese and pizza! They also had orange slices with jello--really cute and flavorful. I give this a Yum's UP! read more

This place is the perfect Wrigleyville pizza joint. The pizza is so tasty and the menu has an insane amount of choices (from taco pizza to Jack Daniels pulled pork to habanero covered pizza and of course the best mac n cheese pizza)! You couldn't ask for a more fair price per slice since it's bigger than your face!! I'll definitely make a habit of coming to this place. It's the best for Cubs games before AND after. Plus the 5am closing time is incredible. read more

Fantastic pizza - the fact they serve all the specialty kinds (at an awesome price) makes it a winner in my book. Of course they have the traditional pizzas, but I like the weird kinds - mac and cheese, smoke house, tortellini etc. They have something for everyone - the picky eaters, the adventurous ones, and everyone in between. Big G's is a fantastic place with great food, great prices, great staff, and best of all great hours. Of course it also goes without saying, but the neighborhood it's in is perfect. The only thing that makes it better is the fact their pizza hits the spot if you've been drinking, plan on drinking, or woke up after drinking too much. It's for certain going to be a staple of the area and I look forward to their presence in Wrigleyville growing. read more

Okay here's the thing . I moved all the way here from Philadelphia and had been missing my cheesesteaks like crazy (Jim's on South Street in particular). I refuse to eat one elsewhere. It would just be a disappointment. Anyway one not so sober evening I decided to give Big G's Philly Cheesesteak Pizza a chance. My friend and co worker suggested we get it. It was quick and cheap so I expected some bland pizza with taco bell meat on it. Grabbed some honey, hot sauce and parmesan to drizzle on there and sat down. WOW. The hazy clouds parted ways and the angels sang from above in that first bite. We giggled with the employees and enjoyed every minute. I have been a frequent customer ever since! read more

Big G's is by far the best pizza joint in wrigley. Better than Dimo's and Bacci's combined. If you are a fan of crispy yet chewy pizza, Big G's is the right place for you. The staff is friendly and helpful and the pizzas are fresh. Savage and the Mac and Cheese can't be beat! read more

This place is right by my house so I walked over this past weekend to check it out. I am a big fan of pizza so I'm always looking to try new places. I got 5 slices for my girlfriend and I to try out. The mac-n-cheese, the Philly, the one with pull pork/beef (can't remember which) and Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, and then one pepperoni and one with pepperoni and sausage. They were all amazing and the prices were great. I'll definitely be going back for more. read more

Please do not see this one star and think that I am knocking the food, because I haven't tried it yet.....which is part of the problem. I called two days ago to place and order and no one ever picked up and the voicemail stated nothing out of the ordinary so I tried calling back and never got a hold of anyone so I moved on to another establishment. I gave them another chance and called last night to place an order, again no answer. So I decided to drive over there and pick up a pizza. Sign on the door says - closed for the week. First off, seems odd to close a pizza place for a whole week. Secondly, how could you possibly not state this on your voicemail?!?!?! I basically drove over there and got nothing - I feel like I am jumping through hoops just to try this pizza....which I won't be doing anymore. I have given up on going there, it's too bad - pizzas look good. read more

Normally not bad but a bit disappointed recently. Had a groupon for the fab 5 pizza and garlic knots. Ordered carry out, mentioned the groupon, and they were really nice over the phone. They didn't even charge tax. My philly cheesesteak pizza was ok, but realized that there was no cheese on it. Good flavor, good meat, but needed less ranch and have cheese! The garlic knots that were part of the groupon were terrible, and the marinara dipping sauce was half frozen. I think this place can do better and will likely grab a slice sometime if I'm walking by, just make sure to order a pizza with cheese on it. read more

Thing crust is usually all the same, overpriced and tasteless not this stuff. The price was pretty good-about $3 for a slice, the slices were loaded in cheese and tomato sauce and it felt fresh and had a lot of flavor. They also have a lot of unique toppings which are original and make otherwise boring pizza exciting and different. A must do and they have boardgames and lots of good indoor seating for a group which I thought was great. One of the few places in that area also your kid can sit in and not be belched on by a fratty drunk 27 year old. read more

So far, I think this is my favorite thin crust pizza. They have unique pizzas too, apparently the Jack Daniels one is amazing, but I didn't try it, I'm partial to pepperoni. Additionally, their ranch dressing is made in house. read more

Came in here after bar crawling which I assume most people do, great pizza, good price, definitely hit the spot

Not only is the pizza amazing, but the entire staff is passionate, dedicated, and in love with their jobs and their pizza. My favorite is the Nacho pizza, but you can't miss out on the Chicken Parmesan pizza, the Mac N Cheese, the Philly Cheese Steak, and more. This place is not to be missed. You will love the quality, the service, and the PIZZA read more

This place has awesome late night hours and the mac and cheese pizza is AMAZING! If you are dining in, don't expect much for ambience as it is in the middle of all the Lakeview bars, really close to Wrigley field, and will probably be full of drunk people. However, you will get great pizza, and if you order delivery you can get the great pizza without the annoying aspects of this place. Yum! read more

So bout an hour and some change before the World Series we ordered a pizza from Big G's. It took some time and my boyfriend waited in line a bit to pick it up. No big surprise as we live in the neighborhood and knew how crazy it's been. We stop in for slices regularly and always get Mac and cheese and more off the wall choices. This time we got a supreme and HOLY COW, it was so good. I was expecting a decline in quality to the fact they were crazy. So yummy and now maybe I'll branch out and try the regular pizzas more often. read more

When we walked in the door we felt iffy about it. The atmosphere is not particularly inviting, and the gal behind the counter seemed disinterested. We were the only customers and still waited twice as long as we were told it would be - even for the salads. That being said, the food more than made up for it - the salads were excellent with very fresh greens and delicious dressings. The pizza we ordered was very good. I especially liked the crust and the sauce. The veggies on top were cooked perfectly. We had a small pizza, 2 small salads, and 2 drinks for $26. Very reasonable for Chicago dining. read more

Chicken and waffles and syrup pizza! That is bomb. I walk in and the place looks cool and funky and the guy who attended me was really nice and told me about the super cool pizzas they have. Plus, it's not even that pricey here. Will definitely stop by again if going to a cubs game or a show at the metro. read more

Big G's Pizza - Trashcans that'll eat your trash - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I just woke up from a 3 1/2 hour nap. I was hungry even before I slept off all of those calories. A call from a friend got me mobile and being mobile made me realize that I should probably try something new at 10:21 p.m. on a rainy Thursday. The newly opened Big G's was that place. I stepped into what seemed like a carbon copy of Dimo's (formerly known as Ian's) minus the magic of Ian's. The magic of Ian's was the array of "oh yeah, we went there with pizza" flavors mixed in with in the silly atmosphere of drunk Cubs fans, high Lakeview residents, and what-could-have-been instances of Chicago (mainly Cubs) history if only Ian's were there. God knows what will happen to Chicago now that it's gone and it can't prevent future dilemmas. God knows what will happen to this twin of Diman's (Dimo's + Ian's). For those that aren't loyal to Ima's, this place will give you an extended variety of what you are used to without having to worry about trying to adjust to a new kind of crust. It has plenty of volume for dipping or for just good ol' fashioned white bread chewing, like mom and pop used to do. I got the Jack Daniels BBQ pulled pork with crispy onions and cheddar cheese, which fit in perfectly with graduation season. If I don't get pulled pork around this time the world just doesn't feel right. Now that I'm graduated, I might as well start getting as many things as I can with alcohol mixed in. I may need it. Of course, I didn't need any additional alcohol with this piece of pie. It was reheated well and seemed to be a legitimate enough reason for an elderly woman to come get over and over again (this story was told to me by the pizza man behind the counter). After scoping out the other slices, I don't know if I would have gotten anything besides the BBQ pulled pork. It looked the freshest, but not by much. I'm sure it's better at other times than 10:21 on a rainy Thursday. I was inspired to demolish my slice as much as the OKC Thunder were demolishing the San Antonio Spurs on Big G's one flat screen. It made me wonder if the Big G underdogs were going to mount a similar rise in the Wrigleyville against the veteran Ianmo's. Since most of the clientele are likely to be some form of inebriated, I can see some well placed marketing bring this place up in the ranks. They may have to change their name to really put themselves up there though. Just like the former Seattle Supersonics. read more

Great pizza, super great staff, and even better hours. I had the pulled pork and fried onion ring pizza. Looking forward to trying the mac and cheese pizza soon. read more

Great pizza, I had the quesadilla and mac n' cheese. The staff was lively and was greeting others who came in by name. The quesadilla had great spicy chicken in it and the sauce on the mac n' cheese was exquisite. Very happy I found this place and I will be sure to come back again. read more
