    Good appetizers and pizza with good variety of toppings and styles to choose from. Customer service was friendly and attentive. Would recommend making a reservation because it can get very busy.

    Lasagne
    Margie T.

    Our waitress, Teresa, with a beautiful smile, greets my husband & I with a glass of extra straws & napkins with 2 glasses of water & lemon... Huge stars!!! Listed on the Specials menu, the ravioli was outstanding!!! Really flavorful! Marinara sauce was delicious!! My husband enjoyed himself so much, he cleaned his dish of lasagne! I usually have the lasagne but I craved something different. Considering they're more famous for their pizza & pasta. I took a chance to try their salmon. Surprisingly, it was phenomenal!!! Exactly how juicy I want it. I hate onions, so there wasn't too many. There was plenty of zucchini, which I love!! Win, win, win!!! We are there pretty often. I can't wait to go back for more salmon!! It is graduation season, so they were pretty packed for a Thursday night. To our surprise, everything came out perfectly!! Wait wasn't too long.

    Ambiance - massive restaurant with their own parking space Service - our server was really nice, made sure we were taken care of Food - pizza was definitely on the saltier side, homemade zucchini sticks were amazing and lightly battered

    Came here for a team lunch and enjoyed our time here. We ordered family style and shared a bunch of pies and salads. Our service was attentive and we received our food fairly quickly considering how large our party was. I especially loved the margherita pizza!

    Reasonable prices

    Parking lot makes it easy and the Christmas decorations are over the top fun! Our server was amazing. We had a group of 9 and we were able to make a reservation on the weekend of Black Friday, pretty last minute. The place is massively large. Food came out fast, even the deep dish didn't take as long as some other places. It was good, not my favorite pizza place, but we like the food and the prices are reasonable. Bc of the ambiance, friendly service, parking lot, reasonable prices and clean bathrooms, I give this place 5 stars. I'm sure the pizza is a favorite for some, but as a vegetarian, I thought there should've been more olives on my olive and cheese deep dish pizza. There were very few and it felt like it should've been simple and flavorful, but it felt like it was just lacking that certain je ne sais quoi. It's an order I do a lot for pizzas, so I guess I was expecting what I am used to- Simple and flavorful, but I felt it was just not it. My kids got a margarita type thin crust type pizza, and they liked it, but said it was also not their favorite. We tried it and agreed. The zucchini sticks were great, as was the artichoke dip. Also, I'm fr California, and I do feel like I'm an expert on Asian food, NOTan expert on Chicago deep dish by any means lol- but just for my kids and myself- we prefer a few other other spots in Chicago as far as the taste of the pizza more than this one. It's just personal preference though, nothing against the quality of the pizzas here. I do recommend this place though, it's really fun and the food is good!

    Tavern Pizza (Pepporoni and hot honey)
    Thomas Y.

    What I love about Connie's is how unassuming it is. From the outside, you don't know what you are getting yourself into. The brick facade is reminiscent of Macaroni Grill. Once you walk-in, the restaurant opens up into a lovely, decorated old-school Italian space. It's clear this is not a 5-star Italian restaurant. And it doesn't have to be. The food and service also speaks to the vibe. Service is attentive and the food is surprising great. Don't judge this restaurant by their frozen pizza business. Everything about the food here is quality, fresh, and flavorful. We came here for Thanksgiving and their turkey meal special was fantastic. Recently, we came again and ordered everything bolognese spaghetti, chicken vesuvio, their new tavern style pizza, and kid's meals. The tavern style pizza is among the best in the city and they just started making it last year. Do not sleep on Connie's. It will exceed your expectations.

    Deep dish and pan pizza and stuffed pizza
    Julian G.

    First off, I have to say you know this place is iconic as soon as you walk inside. It's a massive building with lots of old timey decor (feels like an old tire shop or something?). Great place for groups and a good place to stop after a Sox game. While the ambiance is certainly appealing, the pizza isn't quite as special. I enjoyed the stuffed pizza (margherita) as it added a unique dimension to classic deep dish. Otherwise I felt the pizzas weren't as flavorful as other deep dish places in the city. I also may just be partial to caramelized crusts, but their crust style wasn't particularly noteworthy. Still, I'm glad I tried their various pan pizzas to compare. Would order the special chicken salad again. Service was good, even if we came right before closing. Wouldn't go out of my way for the pizzas but definitely worth checking out.

    Large stuffed pizza - half sausage, half cheese
    Lara B.

    This place is what Chicago pizza is all about. The service was quick and friendly, the atmosphere was fun with an old school pizza tavern feel to it but decorated for fall! My husband and I went there to kick off our date yesterday and it was so good! We got the stuffed pizza with the sauce on the side. I highly recommend getting the sauce on the side. By doing that the pizza crust was perfectly crisp and it stayed like that throughout the whole meal. I will say the sangria was rather lackluster. Tasted more like just regular red wine with a seltzer in it. Not much of a fruity flavor to it. But some may prefer it that way. I like a little more fruit to my sangria. But regardless we still loved this place and will be back very soon!

    Large deep dish "Super" with pineapple added, because pineapple DOES belong on pizza

    What is the yelp secret dish? In sure it's good, but I ask because my group doesn't eat pork so usually we get veggie pizzas.

    No I don't have any idea sorry

    This is one of those places that feels frozen in time -- in a good way. The wood‑paneled coziness,…read morethe dim lighting, the slightly chaotic entryway where a host with a clipboard controls the fate of your evening... it all sets the tone for a meal that's equal parts ritual and indulgence. They push the Mediterranean Bread, and honestly, you should let them. It's enormous, blistered, fragrant, and arrives like a hot air balloon made of carbs. More importantly, it gives you something genuinely delicious to tear into while you wait for the pizza pot pies to emerge from whatever subterranean chamber they're baked in. It's both a starter and a survival tool. A reservation is non‑negotiable unless you enjoy contemplating your own mortality in a weekend crowd. The wait times can stretch so long you could starve to death before your name is called -- and the regulars will nod knowingly as they step around your skeleton. Plan ahead. The salads are comically oversized, the kind of portions that make you wonder if they're meant for a family of four or a single very determined marathon runner. But let's be honest: no one is here for lettuce. We're all here for the pizza pot pie, that molten, bread‑wrapped, cheese‑laden dome of joy that defies every attempt at categorization. It's not deep dish, it's not thin crust -- it's its own thing entirely, and that's the point. This is the place you bring out‑of‑town guests when you want to show them something uniquely Chicago without defaulting to the usual deep‑dish suspects. But it's also the place you come back to on your own, because once you've had that pizza pot pie, it lives rent‑free in your brain until you return.

    Nice service. pizza pot pie is a unique take. takes 30 minutes but worth the wait…read more combo grinder was great. meditation bread was made to be shared.

    I went here for the first time right after they opened and I am HAPPY to report it still holds up…read more I genuinely love their tavern style crust. It's not as thick as other places, but it's perfectly cracker crust. They also have one of my new favorite salads in the city, which is the Sunday salad. My mom and I both agree that we hate when a restaurant is lazy with their salad and this one has so many toppings and good stuff. The ricotta gnocchi was decent but I'd skip next time. Service was fine, but the vibes are just really solid here and I think it's such a good spot in the area. It is a bit loud upstairs in the bar area and I do prefer the speakeasy but both serve different purposes.

    We got takeout, so everything was around room temperature by the time we ate it…read more Mozzarella Sticks (6/10): They had a thin, slightly crispy coating with mozzarella cheese inside. They were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. The pomodoro sauce was on the lighter side and could have used a bit more flavor. Artisan Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey on the side (7/10): The standout was definitely the crust. It was huge, puffy, and had a nice crunch while being soft and airy inside. Even after takeout, the pizza wasn't soggy, which was a plus. Overall, though, the flavor didn't really stand out.
