    Specialty slice with ham and potato
    Christina A.

    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.

    Pepperoni pizza with ranch, chicken and waffle pizza, Funnel Cake Fries, Chocolate Chip Cookiechocolate

    Overall great experience, delicious food and very nice staff! I recommend everything!

    Philly Cheesesteak!! Couldn't wait until I got home

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Hamburger and pepperoni slice
    Ian C.

    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.

    Pepperoni Pizza & Mac n Cheese Pizza

    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

    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.

    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.

Reservations: We were visiting Chicago and I was able to snag a reservation a week early but the time slots were either really early (before 4 PM or after 9:30 PM). Thankfully, I was able to turn on notifications for cancellations and got a better time slot, I'd recommend looking earlier than a week out if you want more flexibility Food: The pizza was all build your own style which was pretty nice! We did a small deep dish and it was great and incredibly filling, the small pizza was a lot of food for 2, I will say, but we wanted it to come in the cast iron pan. The blackened crust was incredible. After getting over the fact that I was eating pizza with a fork and knife, I really enjoyed it but I can't say I'd repeat this often for the sake of my health haha. It was a bit too heavy for me to want to have consistently but I'm sure that's part of the experience. I'd love to come back and try the pan style pizzas since those receive a lot of praise and are probably easier to eat more of Ambiance: this place is way bigger than I thought with multiple floors, the interior was great with the brick all around and a game or two always playing

We ended up doing a walk-in on a Sunday night and showed up at 8 PM one hour before close. This worked out for us because we got a really good seat after only waiting for 20 minutes. Service is good and timely- the hostess was super kind and helpful. We started with some cocktails- a Negroni & a spritz (both were good & pretty strong). Then we split the Caesar salad and a pizza with half sausage/olive and mushroom/onion. Yeah, the pizza did blow me away- the crust is perfectly crunchy and so so thin. I wouldn't even describe it as traditional tavern style pizza because I think it's a really crunchy crust- but it's definitely wayyyyy better than Dimi Dimi (that's the most comparable crust imo). The sauce has a slight spice to it, and the whole pizza just feels very layered in terms of flavorful profile. The sausage was also spicy but very good and I absolutely loved the mushroom and onion duo. Sometimes when you go to a certain pizza places, it doesn't feel worth it, but all the ingredients felt elevated here and the pizza had an elevated taste. The Caesar salad had a nice light dressing and a ton of cheese. I wish that the lettuce had a bit more of a crunch to it, but they seemed to use butter lettuce. The inside feels like a classic Italian joint, but it's very small and simple Overall, so glad that I finally went and although it's not a place that I would go regularly because I live far, I would definitely come back!
