Large Pan Cheese Pizza

GOOD PIZZA. You don't need anything else. They are a staple in Brighton park. I would go again and again.

Sausage, olives, and mushrooms - a house pie and really, really delicious...

Southsider by birth here. This is the best damn Chicago style pizza around. This is old-school. Our parents used to come to all of the pizza joints and debate the merits of each. Falco's is all around great...sauce is not too sweet but nice and punchy. Cheese is plentiful. Sausage is really really good...as it should be. Good olives on it, too. Mark my words--South Side pizza is a kind of best kept secret and Falco's still does it dead on. Right across from Kelly High so you know the kids have been getting this pizza for decades after (and sneaking out of) classes... I got the classic sausage, olives (green...of course), and mushrooms. It was awesome as always. Crust was crispy and braided...usually don't eat the crust but I do here! Pizza itself was delicious. Hard to stop eating that really melted cheese, mushroom, and salty olive combination on a nicely textured and perfectly baked pizza. Service was superb. The woman serving it checked up on me frequently and was really kind--and she was even helping a lot of folks at the bar on that particular Sunday night. Really thoughtful. Beyond that...I ordered a pitcher of Lite and she made it a point to me the fullest pitcher of beer I've ever gotten...wow...it was like getting an extra beer (see photo). Really a deal as well at about 9 or 10 bucks a pitcher.

I ordered a pizza early in the day because I wanted to make sure that I'd get it on time for dinner with family. After waiting past the scheduled time, I called and the person on the phone seemed confused. She said that it was on its was. Said that if it's cold, they'd replace it. Well, it came later and cold. Not only that but it looked like it was put together with parts of other pizzas. I spoke with someone who works there and was informed that the manager forgot to send my order. I called to speak with the manager, sent pictures and was given a refund. I was afraid to order from them again, but I called for pickup, and was told that I was red flagged and needed to talk with the owner to be unflagged.

I said "well done"

I said "well done" . Disappointing because I love Falco's and this has happened the last 3/4 times I have ordered from them.

This is the pizza after I finished baking it. I ate this 2 1/2 hours after ordering.

THIS IS FOR THE Cicero location: If I could rate this a zero, I would! Ordered pizza on Slice app at 5:05 pm. App stated it would be 45-55 minutes. Ok, I can wait. App tells me order would be delivered by 7:00. What?! I chatted the slice app to see if I can cancel...No, pizza is in oven. Pizza arrives and the canned mushrooms look like they were thrown on after pizza came out of oven. Cheese was really gooey and undercooked. Pizza crust was stuck to the cardboard.

I had falco's for the first time in years when I visited in August. I have to say this pizza is so yummy! I order cheese pizza with mushrooms and jalapeños. This is always my go to! There's nothing better than Chicago pizzaaa the service was fast and friendly.

If you know , then you know....Falcos is seriously some of the best pizza in Chicago! No it's not fancy.. no it's not celebrity endorsed.. no it's not overpriced and overrated!! Great Southside Chicago pizza and solid drinks at this old skool bar/pizzeria!! 10 out of 10 pizza and sold by the slice to boot !

Thin crust, cheese, sausage, green peppers,  onions, mushrooms and jalapeño hot peppers.  Awesome

Poor customer service. Pizza is alright if you want a quick bite and big enough to satisfy.

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.

He recommended some great items on the menu, checked in at just the right times without ever hovering, and somehow managed to get our food out incredibly quickly. The best part, though, was his sense of humor. He had the whole table laughing with his witty jokes and made the meal even more enjoyable. And that Irish accent? It deserves a 5-star review on its own. We're not sure if it's included with the service, but it definitely made everything taste better! A huge thank you to Adam for making our visit so memorable. Great food, even better service, and we'll definitely be back. If you're lucky enough to have Adam as your server, you're in for a fantastic meal and a few laughs too!

I got there and there was about 15 people in front of me in line. The hostess was really nice and because I was there by myself, she called up to the bar to see if there was any seats at the bar so I didn't have to wait. I found out that Chicago style pizza takes about 45 minutes to cook, but I was willing to wait. After about an hour I asked where the pizza was, and they said "we lost it". Although I was disappointed that I had waited so long , they were accommodating and apologetic, and took ownership, which I really respected and appreciated. They said they could get me another pizza quicker than 45 minutes, so in total I waited about an hour and a half. They asked me if there's any appetizers I wanted for free or drinks and because I didn't wanna fill up before my pizza and I had already had a salad , I declined. The pizza came out and it was absolutely delicious. Was it worth the wait? Because I didn't have anything else that evening for a while that I needed to do, it was worth it. If I had been in a rush, it would've been a different story. The hostess, the bartender/waiter and the manager were all very nice and attentive. I had a great time at the bar socializing with people from different parts of the country. I would definitely recommend Giordano's.

Excellent service. Bar seating…read moreTable seating. 3 TV where they show sports. They showrd world cup games. Monday - $1 chicken wings. The wings are double fried but the meat stays moist. Big bang buffalo- standard buffalo. Can't go wrong. Hot honey- pretty good, honey flavor, some sweetness Garlic galaxy glaze- this is really good if you like garlic flavor. I would get this again. Bayou in the sky- super super good. I would get this again. Hint of spice, hint of sweet. Carolina bbq- tasted like straight deli mustard. I would pass. The pizza, even though they advertise Detroit Style pizza, their take is more like Focaccia style pizza. They provide nice crunch, not enough sauce. Pretty airy dough. Drooling mushroom- they offer lots of mushrooms on top but the rest of the pizza was not too great. Next time, I would get Ham Radio- pepperoni, bacon, sausage, got and sweet pepper.

That's at the tone for what became unforgettable night. Had the space debri salad which is basically a Greek salad with potatoes and I think in Italian vinaigrette Soooooooooooo for it!!! So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere. Another one of our crew got the pepperoni pile up loved. And I got the sweet and salty space candy pizza With bacon, pineapple, pickled red onion, goat cheese, sambal. Genius, the goat cheese, instead of ricotta was the move for this pizza! All the flavors worked in perfect harmony.Nothing short of amazing. Cozy spot, super cool atmosphere, couple of old school arcade games like ninja Turtles let's goooo We had so much fun. The drinks were absolutely excellent as well. Oh my God cannot forget this drink program. Galactic gift basket and Jedi mind trick sooo fire. Speaking of perfect harmony, everything at sharpies coexist in a lovely harmony from the all the staff, to the vibe/ambiance and absolutely killer pizza and food. WILL BE BACK! Check em out!
