Large Pan Cheese Pizza
Raunel U.

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.

Pizza

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

See all

Burgers were awesome.

But that's not all-- he also came with a sunday "just to celebrate" it wasn't anyone's birthday or anniversary but we definitely were in the mood to celebrate after a night talking with him. Thanks for great service and great food, give Antonio a raise he is AWESOME

I got sat at the bar area where you can see all the action of the kitchen. The place is busy and full and I think it's awesome that it's an open kitchen cause you can see the magic happening. My waitress was super friendly and seems like she's used to everyone coming in to try the burger lol I heard her repeat the spiel many times. A single patty is 2 and a double is 3z I went with a double but honestly should have done a single. Food came out quick and the burger is super juicy. Fries were hot and delicious and even though it was the simplest burger I've ever had in my life I would say it's one of my top three favorite burgers I've ever had. Can't wait to come back.

The Chronicles of Ragebaiting My Brother continue…read more My brother is a die hard Chicago fan. He visited once during a college internship in 08 and decided he would move to this city. Shout out to him for doing the damn thing. Although I would like to mention it was I who named it and claimed it for myself way back in 2001 after a visit to the city for a college conference. However me and my bestie couldn't figure out how to make it happen on a 20,000 labor organizer salary lmao. So we remain on the east coast while my swagger jacking little brother paints the Windy City red. Anyway because he's so in love with this city and knows its in and outs, I often send him dubious "influencer content" of recent transplants that act like just because THEY just Columbus'd a new spot it must be new to EVERYONE. And the recommendations are often awful and likely paid for (extorted). It sends him into a rage which again - we love. My fave kind of terrible content to send him is Top 10 burger spots in Chicago. The lists are often wrong, outdated, and criminally under seasoned. Every once in a while though there is a fleeting moment of alignment and Little Bad Wolf is it. This truly may be the best burger in Chicago. Food: -Wolf burger - egg fried HARD for me -Bad burger - add egg for my brother -Bad burger - as is for my mom -crab cakes - for SIL -mashed potato- for the toddler -Brussels sprouts for the table The patties were well seasoned and melted in my mouth. I adore crispy onion straws. Beer was crisp and refreshing. Service was outstanding Perfect vibe on a midday Monday Bench and chair seating for all bodies. 100% worth the hype! The menu description is also a good way to annoy your loved ones. See pics for my friend's visceral reaction lmaooo

I got the veggie version of the Little DMK and the Lazy Refresher mocktail. *I ordered fries for us to split, which is when the waitress warned me about the fries. I really appreciated the call out, but was surprised it wasn't on the menu itself. Husband got the patty melt and noted that the beef tasted very peppered. Both burgers were fine. My drink was a little sweet, but overall good. Staff was friendly and attentive, but even if I were in the neighborhood, I don't see it as a place we'd frequent.
