It really is good. Some pizzas are better than others. But all in all it's one of true better options than McDonald's in the middle of the night. I try to stop in when I'm in town from Skokie read more

The pizza is great BUT nothing else was. Just stopped here for a few slices before a show. Ordered 3 slices of pizza and the employee used his hands without gloves to pick the slices up and put them in the oven. We went to go sit down (there are 5 tables total) and every single table was filled with grease and left over crumbs. I had to wipe the table off by myself with napkins. I went to throw the napkins out and the garbages were over flowing. It wasn't busy at all. The employees were sitting on their phones and talking to each other. I'll give it another chance due to the pizza but so far it was so dirty read more

big g's, I could eat you every day. Even just the mac & cheese pizza. I could live off of it. Not successfully, but happily. In searching for pizza places a few months ago, I saw they boasted the best mac & cheese pizza, and a claim like that must be tested. They are not lying. I'm a vegetarian but sometimes when I'm extremely hungover I eat chicken, so one time we ordered the BBQ chicken pizza... equally awesome. Didn't even feel bad for breaking my vegetarianism. I trust that all of their pizzas are phenomenal, but the mac & cheese is a must. Please eat it and think of me, Anna from a yelp review. read more

Delivery took about 45/50 minutes and I live a mile away, so it wasn't exactly speedy, but it was reasonable. The food was- meh. I thought the mac and cheese slice was disappointingly bland, the "savage" (chicken, bacon, ranch, cheese, and BBQ sauce) was too sweet, and the steak and fries had an odd taste to it. However, the 3 veggie (red peppers, portobellos, and spinach) was actually delicious, and the one with green and red bell peppers and beef (almost like an Italian beef on a pizza) was pretty good. Those 2 slices and the absolutely incredible garlic knots are what save this place from being 1 1/2 stars. read more

Never going back. I went there for a slice of cheese pizza and there was a piece of pepperoni on it. I was starving and took two bites before realizing what I had just consumed. I am a vegetarian and it made me sick both physically and mentally bc I made a life choice to never eat meat again and they just violated that bc of their carelessness. I shouldn't have to take the cheese off my pizza to make sure it is safe to eat. I called to let them know what happened and they didn't seem to care much. They could have comped my food but no. It makes me wonder what other food codes they could be violating. read more

It started out as a night out with my friend. Turned into a night out in the car!! I couldn't find parking anywhere! So time passed by now we're hungry!! I googled the closest POSs place near me and this place popped up!! I immediately went when I saw they had a Philly Cheesesteak Pizza!!! Omg!!! It was so good! read more

This will be a go to spot in Wrigleyville! My friend and I ordered delivery to her place, delivery was on time and friendly. We got mac and cheese pizza slices, pepperoni pizza slices and garlic knots. All absolutely delicious, especially those garlic knots, I wish there was more than three in an order though! read more

Called me up after waiting an hour for my delivery to tell me they were out of ONE ingredient of my pizza topping, and that their "delivery is now up," so they were cancelled my multi-item order. Wasted my time, and didn't care enough about customer service or respect my time enough to make good on the on the transaction. Will never attempt to order from these unprofessional people again. read more

NEVER ORDER PIZZA FROM THEM GRUB HUB SHOULD BAN THEM I had a initial good experience yesterday so I ordered a whole pizza this time 1. Was late due to their driver I asked for a free desert or something and they BSed me and didn't provide that 2. The driver asked me to coe down 47 freaking flights because he couldn't park, Hey the guy yesterday could park but you cant??! 3. The pizza was cold and BURNT NEVER NEVER NEVER USE THESE GUYS AGAIN read more

Omgosh- this place is heavenly! We went here right before the end of a Cubs game and it was fairly quiet (left before the 9th inning). We each ordered a slice of the mac and cheese and a slice of the Philly cheesesteak. They heated the pizza up a little but believe me, it wasn't necessary because the pizza was fresh. The mac and cheese is the most amazing pizza I've ever eaten in Cook County! This pizza is cheesy and creamy but not overwhelming creamy so that the cheese is falling off. It's not too salty and the macaroni was cooked to perfection- it is tender and light and evenly spread out in the pizza. The pizza crust itself is finger licking good- it's thin, fresh and crispy. There some pizza crusts that are too chewy or too hard but this one tasted like it just came out of the oven even though it was out for about half an hour. The mac and cheese goes out quick so be patient- it really is worth the hype! The Philly cheesesteak is delicious as well- extremely savory and honestly, it tastes better then the real Philly cheesesteak. The combination of steak, green and red peppers, onions and cheese is well seasoned, fresh, tasty and makes you wish you lived closer to Wrigley so you can make a daily appearance. Prices are reasonable and worth it- our total was $16 for three slices and two sodas. Once we left, the large masses arrived and it was madness! Highly recommend this place- its a hidden gem! read more

Big G's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I think Big G's might be the best thing to happen to this section of Clark Street since... well... it's been a while since anything this good happened to this particular section of Clark Street (sorry, Cubbies). My mac 'n cheese pizza addiction is nearing catastrophic (for my wallet and my waistline) levels, but I just... can't... stop... If you've ever had it before, then you know how good it can be, and at Big G's it's the best. If you haven't had it before, take the plunge into mac-y 'n cheese-y goodness, and you won't regret it. You might even join me outside on the sidewalk when they haven't opened yet, with the pizza-withdrawal shakes, dreaming of globs of orange cheese, perfectly tender macaroni, and a just-thin-enough crust that creeps into your mind like the memories of a lost lover. Think I'm being melodramatic. Huh-uh, this is love, and it's for real. They have a ton of other specialty pizza slices, too, but when I find a good thing, I don't need to stray. It doesn't hurt that everyone behind the counter is friendly, helpful, and just all-around awesome. It also doesn't hurt that it's right across the street from my office. Before/after a Cubs game, after a long day or a long nap, a bad break-up, whatever is kicking you in the gonads today, I promise you that Big G's will pick you up, fill your belly and lift your heart. Go, now! read more

Remember when you were a kid watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Michaelangelo made those pizzas with insane toppings? Well, this place borders on that. In a good way. Just about any topping you could want is here, in both sweet and savory variations. Fancy a sloppy joe with French fries? They got that. Portabella mushrooms and roasted red peppers? They got that too. Jack Daniels BBQ with onion strings? No doubt. How about a S'mores pizza with marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate? It's here. There's enough different combinations to keep you busy for a while. Thankfully, anchovies and peanut butter or sashimi with whipped cream hasn't made the menu. Yet. I wouldn't put it past these guys to try it... read more

So, there was a second great schism, and this time is was not Christianity splitting in two, but the former Ian's Pizza, which was really great. Ian's became Dimo's and Big G's opened up Clark St. And life went on. Except I didn't realize Big G's was part of the equation. I just read "Ian's is now Dimo's" and ran with it. However, Dimo's just wasn't as good. The people weren't as friendly and delivery times soared. Gave Big G's a try one night and haven't looked back. Great people, the salads are way better than you'd expect, and they have the chewy, tasty crust I'd been missing. Michael's in Uptown is my favorite, but this is a close second and a great change of pace. read more

I grabbed a slice of pepperoni pizza and a garlic knot from a pop-up in my building's lobby. The girl tells me $6 and I hand her my credit card. But wait I think....isn't pepperoni pizza $3.63 and a garlic knot $0.91 + tax (went back to look at the sign to verify), so I ask how she came up with my total. She said it's with tax. By now she already swiped my card and showed me that the pepperoni pizza was in fact $5 on her phone. I had't realized that Chicago raised sales tax to over 32% (hint: they have not). I probably would have never written this review if the girl just apologized for the mistake or anything, but she turned away from me as if she no longer wanted the conversation to continue. I asked again about it when she handed me my food from the oven; she insisted that it's what the tax costs. Obviously not the biggest deal (only $1 difference), but it just seems deceptive. The actual taste of the pizza and garlic knot was fine (3/5 stars on taste), but I would be weary to ever hand over money to these people. read more

We've all been there: it's late, you're hungry, restaurants (at least the ones where you want to eat) are closed. No fear, Big G's leaves the light on for you into the wee hours! It's almost become a ritual for me to stop into Big G's after going to shows at the Metro. There are so many positives to this place besides being open late. Firstly, they offer a lot of creative toppings that appeal to the...ehem...late night crowd, like mac and cheese, buffalo chicken and bleu cheese, and bbq steak and fries. Secondly, they offer their pizza by the slice, so you try a few different styles and share with your friends. Thirdly, they are BYOB, which is so convenient for it's location in Wrigleyville. Finally, the staff here is always friendly and patient. Yup, there's no shame in the late night pizza game, especially when a place like Big G's does it right! read more

The hospitality was off the hook! The Owners were cooking and serving us, and they really were awesome! The Mac and Cheese pizza really is one of the best pieces of pizza I have ever eaten what else can be said! Marvelous! read more

Soooooo disapointed... We chose this place because of the great yelp reviews. We ordered a salad and a few slices of pizza, including the well reviewed mac and cheese pizza. The pizza was bland and we had to add garlic salt. The pizza was also burned. The greek salad was actually ok, but how do you mess up a salad? The price was decent, but we could have gotten dominos for this price. And to top it all off, there was a weird noodle stuck to my pizza. I hear subway makes pizza now. May be better. read more

Big G's itself gets 4 stars--delivery service gets 0. Let me elaborate: I ordered a pizza last night (3/23/15) and had it delivered. I specifically asked the person on the phone to tell the delivery guy NOT to buzz up to my apt, but to just give me a call/text (buzzer freaks out my dog). Well, the pizza arrived in the time frame they said it would, but the dude buzzes up. I go meet him in the stairwell, and the pizza box is ice cold. To their credit, I called Big G's and explained the situation. I mean, I know it's cold outside, but the pizza shouldn't be THAT cold. They offered me a $10 credit and explained that they had told the delivery person not to buzz. I've never heard of a pizza place farming out its deliveries, but maybe you might want to reconsider that. The pizza itself--once it was warmed up--was delicious though. read more

After a Cinco de Derby bar crawl I obviously needed something to soak up the many Corona Lights I enjoyed and ended up at Big G's Pizza to fulfill this need. I will say that the menu on the wall there is seriously overwhelming. They'd do well for themsleves to get it organized. People love their toppings and need to know what is what! After giving up on reading the menu I started checking out the pizza they had in the display case. A gorgeous conconction that was chock full of cheese and ranch dressing caught my eye. I inquired about the pizza and learned it was their "Savage Pizza" (it can be found in the Grand Slam section of the menu). A slice loaded with grilled chicken, bacon, barbecue sauce, ranch dressing and tons of cheese. I decided I had to have this beautiful piece of pizza and got it to go with a coke. Upon arriving home I practically inhaled the piece of deliciousness. It was that good! I'd definitely recommend Big G's pizza. I now have a laundry list of things to try next time I make it back! read more

So I have to update my review because I am a stickler for customer service and Big G's KILLS IT in that category. 2 things I love- good pizza and good customer service. From Big G's I got both. After writing my last review the manager contacted me saying he wanted to make my experience better. Two days later, I received coupon for a free "1-20in pizza" with a waived delivery fee. (I have no idea what a 1in pizza is..sounds depressing..just saying). Anyways, the pizza that showed up at my door 45 minutes later was AMAZING! Floppy foldable slices that were perfectly greasy and tasted delicious. The pizza was fresh and hot when it came to my door. NOTHING like the first time I ordered Big G's. The crust was delicious, not flat, but puffy with a great taste to it. Not bland at all. All in all, Big G's really redeemed itself for me and I will definitely be ordering from them again. Even though my 20in pizza was free this time, they are usually really cheap anyways so I am excited for the weekend when I can break my diet and order Big G's again! Great customer service. If you are unsatisfied with anything I would really suggest talking to the management, they will do whatever they can to please their customers, which always deserves 5 stars in my book. Thanks Big Gs!! read more

Visited Big G's for the first time around midnight on a Sunday after having a few drinks at Guthrie's. This is a great alternative to Dimo's (and better than Dags in my opinion) if, like me, you need a break after being there the past two times and a) an all-dudes kickball team screams 90s hits at the top of their lungs and b) random dudes coming up to you and rapping and stealing hats (it's not you, Dimo's; it's me). Here's what I thought: Interior: 3 stars. Interior reminded me of a cover operation. I will also acknowledge that I was the weirdo random person who was not drunk enough to be wandering into a pizza place post-midnight on a Monday morning. You don't go here for the atmosphere. Pizza: 4 for initial appearance; 4.5 for taste. Initially, the pizza looked cold and weird in the case, but I was buzzed, cold, and hungry enough to go for the Macaroni pizza.. It was very filling and warm. Perfect for when you want something heavy and delicious followed up by passing out for the night or a looong nap. Service: 5 stars. Only my friend and I were there. It was super fast. Workers were nice but brief, which I like. I will go again for sure, and it may become my go-to in the neighborhood. read more

After having been introduced to them at a yelp event and finding out they have macaroni and cheese pizza, my two favorite things together. I had to go try this place out, and I was not disappointed. Although I was specifically looking for the macaroni and cheese pizza I was pleasantly surprised by the unique and diverse types and flavors of pizza they have. This place has got to be the best pizza place as far as unique combinations of pizza and they do them justice because they are delicious. While there I tried the savage as well as my macaroni and cheese slice and they definitely hit the spot. I was disappointed that I couldn't try more but I was too full after that. They also change up one or two of their pizzas to go along with the seasons and events in that area. I can't wait to go back and try some more of their great pizza. read more

Great pizza, great service in a cozy comfortable setting. My family will be life long customers. read more

NASTY!!!! The pizzas that they cook in the afternoons must be left out until the very end of night (if they don't sell) because they look so ragged and sloppy. Nothing looks fresh in here!! Also, the garlic rolls are waaaaaaay over priced! read more

A large pizza at Big G's is a really, really large pizza, especially for two people. The crust at Big G's is probably the high point of this thin crust experience; very chewy, doughy, not a hint of overcook. We used a Groupon on a large pepperoni pie, and the pepperoni, cheese and sauce were pretty ordinary. Our order came with a small order of garlic knots, which were good but too dense for me. The marinara sauce that came with the knots was also just ok. The space is big enough for 15-20 people to eat so good space; the combo of loud music and a loud TV was kinda weird but the guy behind the counter moved fast and was friendly during our visit. If I come back, I want to try the slices, since that's where the magic seems to lie--like Dimo's, there seemed to be some creative-looking toppings behind the glass. read more

The pizza is huge so you only need a slice or 2. I went for National Pizza Day and slices were $1 each, a really good deal.

The pizza was what you expect. As it has been sitting out for god knows how long and looks like it . I got the crab Rangoon pizza which was super dry but had great potential. Maybe fresh this stuff is better. The bbq on the steak and French fry pizza was inedible. Otherwise there is no reason for the hype unless ur drunk walking after a game read more

Big G's Pizza - Basically meh and super dry - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Mac'n cheese pizza was very cheesy! Loved that , but the chicken penne pizza was dry. Maybe it would've better fresh out the oven. Felt like it was sitting out there too long. Garlic knots were served with cold marinara. Tastes better with warm marinara not sure why they serve it cold. read more

I used to be a Dimo's fanatic but after their quality dropped off a cliff a few years back I switched over to Big G's and they've yet to disappoint me. Their selection is better and appears much fresher, and the price is great. I've never ordered delivery from here but I definitely stop by every now and then to get a couple slices. Especially great late-night drunk food. read more

This was definitely a great choice for my friends and I! My friend had recommended this place since It had its infamous Mac n Cheese pizza! It's so close to Wrigley Field and is in such an amazing location. The restaurants decorations could use some work but I can't complain because the food was just so good. read more

Big G's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One thing we can all agree on- Chicago has great pizza. Everywhere I turn, pizza- deep dish, stuffed pizza. However, I think that there is an overwhelming LACK of good NY style, pizza by the slice. With this in mind, Big G's was a very welcome additional to my neighborhood! Upon entrance, we were kindly greeted and given an overview of how Big G's works (pizza by the slice, you can order the whole pie, but that requires a wait). They also incorporated a roulette wheel upon checkout for some savings- sadly, we weren't winners. I indulged in their savage slice, which is basically a chicken, bacon and ranch slice. It was amazing! I definitely savored every bite, because with my discipline I managed to only order one slice. I also got a salad, which was pretty jam packed with veggies. My guy ordered their mac and cheese (yum) and philly cheese steak. I didn't try the Philly, but he seemed to enjoy it. We ordered soda and water, but I believe they are BYOB. Overall, I like my somewhat ill-conceived notion that I am getting skinnier while still indulging... I walk there, I only order ONE slice of THIN crust pizza, and then I walk home. If only we could all have such an easy and satisfying diet plan ;-) read more

Walked in post game and asked if they had Mac and cheese pizza as advertised on their BIG sign outside (we had never been there before or heard of them). The guy responded with " what you see is what you get." We said "so are you out of Mac and cheese pizza?" He responded with a very rude what you see is what you get again. It's fine if you're all out...that happens....but please don't be rude to customers! We will not be giving any business to a place that doesn't value the customer! We will not be returning. read more

I get that people come here for pizza, but I didn't want pizza - I wantes fries and the fries were extremely freezer burnt, so I suffered through eating them. I'll definitely go elsewhere the next time I'm in the area. Gross. read more

I hail from Albany NY, which must have the largest concentration of late night cheap slices. Now that I live where everything is deep dish or pan, I've been missing this kind of pizza - until Big Gs!!! It's super good NY style pizza that you can get at 2 am. The crust was thin and super crispy. Although it didn't have those Albany prices - it was $12 for 3 slices. I'll definitely be back the next time it's after 10pm and I just HAVE TO HAVE pizza. read more

To this day I thought we only had 2 options for sliced pizza in the wrigleyville area until I was told about this little gem by my pizza loving friend. I had their Thanksgiving pizza. The name says it all. It was topped with stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans, and turkey. The coolest part was that they donated proceeds from this pizza to the local food bank! I thought that that was really going with the holiday spirit and a way to give back to the Lakeviee community. The fact that they have great pizza and is not that crowded makes me really like this place. I'm in and out with my pizza on a late Friday night without being surrounded by drunkards. read more

I've ordered delivery via Grub Hub twice in the last month...on the 2nd time, the delivery guy recognized me. Props to him for having a great memory. I have a tendency to order a lot of food with the intention of having left overs....sometimes, it turns into an all day graze fest, sometimes-I am far hungrier than I planned. I've had their BBQ Chicken & Bacon Pizza, the Bacon Cheddar Burger Pizza, plus most of their desserts. The crust was great and is in the hand tossed vein. It was slightly chewy with some crunch. Great taste, wasn't soggy-even with the gluttony of toppings, and provided a great foundation for the topping. The pizzas were really good. They have a wide range on their menu, from the more typical 1-3 meat + tomato sauce pizzas all the way thru more adventurous combinations. Some oddballs, salad pizza, Chicken Cordon Bleu Pizza, and Mac N Cheese Pizza. The desserts were nearly diabetic coma inducing...The SMores Ravioli make me want to move up a weight class. The Smores Pizza & The Apple Pie Pizza both will be ordered again. The biggest challenge will be only ordering one at a time. They also sell wings & salads-I haven't tried any of those. I'd like to try their pizza in store. The idea of doing a pizza sampler of 3-4 diff slices is appealing...except, I think I'd probably leave feeling sick since so many of them sound so good. read more

Walked in with my Mets t-shirt and was as happily greeted as if I was back in the Big Apple. Not a bad introduction. The pizza here reminds me very much of the pizza of my NewYorkian roots. Foldable, cheesy with a sauce that's tangy, not tinny. I haven't tried the mac and cheese pizza, but I can vouch for the pepperoni being some really good stuff. read more

First off, super friendly service, the guys working there were awesome. Okay, now food. Mac and Cheese pizza - Bland. I was pretty bummed out because there's just so much cheesy yes to a dish like this that when I took a bite, I cried a little on the inside. Cheese is life but they didn't do it justice here. Gyro pizza - This one was better, but still not that great. The gyro meat tasted a bit dry. Garlic knot - Got it for freeeee because of the check in on Yelp. Tasted really good but it was so damn small! I would need at least another 150 of these, ASAP. Overall, decent pizza if you're in the area, but there's better options in this city. read more

Lots of creative toppings + good prices = great value, especially close to Wriggly. 2 adults and 4 kids are for $40. Crust is very thin, New York style. Ambiance is mostly set for by the slice carry out, but several tables big enough for a family or small party. read more

This place is rock solid. In a city full of deep-dish and specialty pizzas, it was refreshing to find a reliable plain cheese pizza that would make the Ninja Turtles proud. I look forward to trying some of their toppings too, though. Our wings were fantastic. We did the Frank's Red Hot and the Jack Daniels' Honey BBQ. Both sauces were perfect and the meat was practically falling off the bone. We left nothing behind and with little effort. It's worth noting that the wings tasted (and looked) like they were cooked using more than just a traditional fryer. Hard to describe, delicious nonetheless. Cowabunga. read more
