Fast delivery, good service as usual. I had a slice of my husbands sausage, onion, pepperoni pizza. Tasty as always, but I as in the mood for shrimp and a baked potato. Also had chicken noodle soup to start. They use linguini noodles in the soup. Good choice, but a heads up to cut them up with a fork first. read more

I would give then -100 if I could. This rating is entirely due to the rude, crude, and unwelcoming demeanor of the owner. Working just down the street, we have ordered food and dined there a few times a year. When we dine-in, it is always 20-25 people. If they weather is nice, we like the patio. We've always felt welcomed and been generally pleased with the fare and the service. This time? No. The last time I will ever step foot in that place? Yes. We had a party of 25. We pre-booked a week in advance. We were told we had to talk to the owner and asked to call back the next day. Odd, that never happened, before. I WAS ASKED to call back the next day. I called back the next day and was told the same. I gave my number and got a call back from the owner, who said the pizza and salad buffet we usually had cost more (I get that) and they would only serve us food for an hour, with the larger pizzas we would get, only available for take-out or delivery (I surely didn't get that), AND we had to give a depot (also a new thing I didn't get). In spite of these red flags, I offered to make a deposit over the phone. He told me to call him the next day or to come into the place to make a deposit. I called... he wasn't there. I, the customer bringing 25 people to this restaurant, was too busy to get there. So, on the day of the event, I went there early. The owner was there, and it all went downhill in minutes with him saying, "you can't come in here and take over half the restaurant for free." Free? We would have certainly paid. He would not let us rearrange any tables, so we could sit together. He did not want our business and was unprepared to serve us (I do not believe he had the staff). Mind you there were only 6 other guests in the place. What to do, our guests would start trickling in soon? We had to find another venue. I called another place we frequent across the street. They said, "give us 30 minutes to set-up a banquet table for you." Done. We reluctantly, ordered drinks and were pleased by the attentiveness of the bartender/service who pleasant demeanor was a most welcomed change from the surly owner. We paid our bill, as we didn't expect the drinks for FREE, tipped the nice lady, and gladly left fairly certain our tab was the largest they were going to see that evening. After our fabulous time and excellent service and great food at the place that accomodated us, I had to come to GCP as my car was parked on the street right there. There were like two people sitting at the bar. It would not surprise me if this place were to fail and close soon. Given the customer service mindset of the owner, it is the trajectory he has placed his business on. Now, I think I will write a glowing review of the place down the street that saved our evening. read more

If there were a "negative-star" rating, I would use it for the first time in my life. We pre-booked a reservation for a party of 25, having held the same gathering there the last 2 years. We were told we needed to make a deposit, which we were open to doing, and then arrived at our scheduled time to an empty restaurant and yet told we were not allowed to move tables in order to sit together. "You cannot take over the whole restaurant for free". The manager / owner's attitude was horrifying, with absolutely no interest in our business. We waited for our guests to come, had a drink and promptly moved across the street where a wonderful restaurant gladly accommodated us. I grew up here, and have ordered here for 30+ years, also working as part of an institution that has done the same. Done. read more

Tonight's service - Horrible at best. The service there is slow and they aren't attentive to you at all.

Not only that....when our fries came to us they weren't even luke warm. Disappointed - read more

The bartender here doesn't know how to make any drinks and will tell you he has something he doesn't. Service is very slow and they cannot follow instructions. After telling us our chicken parm was almost ready 20 mins ago, he asks now if we want that with pasta. That's what the menu says?? I ordered a caprese salad which on the menu, should have basil, and then after it comes out as just a tomato with mozzarella, they told me there was no basil. Why $13 for this??? Incompetent staff. Really gone downhill since covid. There's a reason it's empty read more

Golden Crust Pizza & Tap - Thick crust with 5 toppings. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been ordering from this place for years because their quality pizza is definitely good, Up until now and this is why. I looked up online and saw a deal for stadium pizza, 2 ingredients, 2 liter pop, large fries, and 12 wings for $41.95. Love it! I call and order, granted I had a couple more ingredients and it was delivery. Price total $73! That's ridiculous.. delivery and tax plus the extra ingredients does not amount to $33 dollars more. Only to find out that the online price $$ is no longer valid, and I had asked specifically when I called. The person stated the fine print says prices change without notice and not responsible for print errors. I'm sorry, but at the very least honor the price that's online and CORRECT THE WEBSITE. It's called customer service on your end as a business! Highly disappointed.. make sure to verify next time the prices. read more

I love this place so much. Me and my sister have been coming here for years when we didn't know what to eat. The cheese is so yummy, always hot when getting it too! They also give out a slice of pizza and a drink for 5 dollars! The slice of pizza is so large, can fill you up when hungry. Worth your money i promise! The service is so good too. So far been it's been 2 dudes and the're so chill and nice. And always gives us good quality pizza even service! read more

I use to love this place. I remember growing up in Albany park & this was my family's go to pizza spot, however not only has the food went downhill but also the customer service. Previously order a stadium size pizza last week & was given ice gold chicken tenders then tonight a burnt rock hard stadium size pizza with super dry chicken tenders to go with it. I called and told them my concerns regarding my order however they said & I quote "i can give you $10 off your next order if you'd like to put in another order right now if not I have other calls i needed to get to" wow! This was my experience recently but definitely won't spend my money here anymore ‍ read more

I went to Golden Crust Pizza & Tap for the first time the other day. This place is located just south of the Kedzie Brown Line stop. With "Tap" in its name, it should not be a surprise that they have a nice and lengthy beer list, including some specials scrawled on a chalkboard. Many screens were showing various sports matches, while the piped in music skewers towards classic rock like Led Zeppelin. Our server was super patient with us as we were initially socializing rather than perusing the menu. The three of us split a caprese salad, and our server noted that it featured four tomatoes so this appetizer would be a math problem for us. I don't know if one can describe a salad as meaty, but thick slabs of buffalo mozzarella and strands of basil adorned the solid whole tomatoes on the plate. Nutritious and delicious! We ordered a medium Greek Pizza, with the circular pizza cut into a grid of pieces. The toppings included spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, but the dominant ingredient was the blanket of gooey cheese. The edge pieces offered a satisfying crunch. I did my best to polish off the last few pieces of the tasty pizza for our table. read more

I want to like this place so bad--local spot with a patio, cheap drinks and a decent atmosphere--but I am always let down! I've been coming here for three years and have consistently been disappointed by the service, and the food quality has really gone downhill. We went a few weeks ago and were really disappointed. I ordered a whiskey coke and was brought their daily $5 special, which was Jack honey and lemonade that just tasted like sour mix, then got charged for a $7 well whiskey. The server never came back to ask what my wife wanted to drink, and never brought us water or refilled the one drink we were sharing between the two of us. If she had come back before we were done eating we would have ordered water much sooner! The pretzel was dry, dense, and flavorless and I could barely taste the pepperoni on the pizza we ordered. Overall, I wouldn't recommend you go here unless you want below average service and food. BUT if you're looking for a cheap local spot to drink, you're in the right place! read more

Ordered pizza from this place at 8:45pm, was told to wait an hour after ordering by a guy named Michael. Called in at 10:10 just to check in to see where my pizza is because i know if it takes longer than an hour, the pizza will be luke warm or cold. Michael answered and when i asked where my pizza was, he told me he needs to call the driver to find out. He never returned my called, so i called back and he had the audacity to put me on hold and hang up. I called again but the same result. I gave it another five mins and called again. He finally answered but couldn't give me a clear answer as to why my food didn't make it to me on time other than that the driver is older while I was given no explanation for the three times I was hung up on. Now the driver showed up and had to be on drugs the way he was acting. I was a customer of 15+ yrs and I'll never deal with this again. It's not the first time drivers constantly messing up deliveries and the ones answering the phones being rude. Deserves a zero but Yelp is saving these horrible restaurants by not allowing zeros. Only thing good was the pizza and it's not worth going thru that for some pizza. Save your money read more

My family has been ordering pizza from Golden Crust for as long as I can remember. Lately the quality and service has gone down however we decided to try it once more . We saw a special online for $41.99 when I tried to place the order I was told that special was old and the new price is $49.99 . They said I was the third person that day to complain and that they were taking down the site. They wouldn't honor the price !!!! I found them to be rude and once I read other reviews DISHONEST because it appears this has been going on for a while. read more

Golden crust has been a staple location for my family for years. We used to order football sized pizzas for parties all of the time and now that I'm back in the neighborhood, I'm grateful to find out the quality has not changed!

Dannys dad has been coming here for over 51 years. He now lives in California but when we're in town he always makes an effort to come out to pay homeage. We were recommended to try the thick crust. I loved that you can add as many toppings as you want to. We ordered a pepperoni and jalapeño pizza. Dannys parents ordered the usual sausage and mushroom thin crust. The server was really nice and friendly. Very family friendly and chill place. I would recommend this place to others. We came on a Sunday night for dinner. read more

When in town, this is my go to for pizza. Just like the name says, the crust is golden and delicious. The service has always been friendly, prompt, and welcoming. The pizzas have ample, good quality ingredients with reasonable pricing. Calamari, wings were both flavorful and cooked right. What's a standout and memorable is the garlic bread. It's delicious and very filling. It's the size and style of a small round pizza, definitely not your average garlic bread or breadsticks. The restaurant/bar has that neighborhood feel to it, where the wait staff knows your name. Actually, our waiter did remember us from a previous visit. There are plenty of televisions throughout that are visible wherever you are seated. There is also a nice size covered patio. Although this is a pizza joint, I'd suggest you come on Sunday and give their brunch a try. They offer Bloody Mary specials, make a good egged Benedict, and delicious, light and fluffy pancakes. The only slight drawback is the accessibility. My son was temporarily in a wheelchair and there's a slight incline in the front entrance. That was a little difficult to maneuver. He also had issues entering the restroom, luckily staff assisted him with the door. Regardless of the slight inconveniences, the food is delicious, staff is friendly, and we will definitely be returning. read more

I order tonight from Golden Crust. We generally love their food. Today was the first time I used their online order option. BAD MISTAKE! First my order was over an hour late. And when it did come it was cold and needed to be reheated. Second my pizza wasn't close to what I ordered. I had to call Golden Crust twice! Once to find if my order was going to be delivered- I was told it just went out and should be at my door shortly. Delivery driver called right after I called looking for my order. My second call was because the pizza was WRONG. The man was absolutely RUDE! Told me I got what I ordered, ah NO! I order a half cheese/half pineapple and Canadian Bacon. I got a full pepperoni and half CB. Not even close. He continued to tell me the order was right, yet ADMITTED ONLINE ORDERING SYSTEM SCREWS UP ORDERS CONTINUALLY! He repeated over and over call in the order to insure I get the right pizza. So by his own admission- I ordered something else but their system is flawed and I got the wrong pizza. But it's my fault! And I gave to eat the cost of their mistake. Further more my order was sitting around cooling off for that hour. Not only did their system screw up but it sat around not getting sent for delivery. I understand mistakes happen, but to tell the customer it's their fault for not calling the order in isn't acceptable. For my order to be an hour late and cold isn't acceptable. I paid good money and a frozen pizza would have been better. I wasn't offered even my delivery fees returned. Sorry this is absolutely poor CUSTOMER SEVICE. read more

Okay, so, this place has been in my neighborhood for, what, about six years now? (I mean the revamped full bar version, not the earlier sketchy pizza takeout place). Early on I dropped in there a few times for drinks, and was really put off by the whole scene- douchey crowd, attitudinally maladjusted bartenders, indifferent/ clueless wait staff. So naturally, I just wrote off the pizza as well- too much great pizza in this town to suffer through the aforementioned indignities. But I had this gnawing, relentless crave for pizza earlier tonight. And yet I didn't want to shell out for the usual exorbitant delivery fee plus tip, so I thought, you know what? I'll give that G.C. a shot- I'll call in my order, walk my LAZ-E arse 1.5 blocks down the street, and do a D.I.Y. (Deliver It Yourself). When I got home, I ripped open the hokey "map of Italy on the cover" pizza box, and chowed down. What I encountered was...a gloopy, gloppy, crumbly-crusted, "'mer'can style" cheez-saturated hot mess of a pizza. It turns out: I LOVE a good "gloopy, gloppy, crumbly-crusted "'mer'can style" cheez-saturated hot mess of a pizza." It was SOOOOO damn good! There's no pleasure like a guilty pleasure, I tells ya...other bonuses: ready in 30 minutes, and seamless pick-up (I was in and out in less than one minute). This is NOT a "destination" pizzeria, by any stretch. But if you live within a mile of this place, and you're a fan of the kind of pizza I described above, give it a whirl. Pretty sure you'll be glad you did. read more

Golden Crust Pizza & Tap - This is one order.. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Five stars for the pizza, three stars for the experience I recently had when dining in-house, resulting in a generous four stars total. Golden Crust has awesome pizza. The thin crust is amazing and last night I had the thick crust for the first time too, which is really awesome except for the crust, which is kind of boring. I will likely just stick to ordering take-out from here now on though, because although our server last night was nice, she was not particularly attentive. My friend's beer was flat and my gin and tonics left much to be desired. It was crowded and loud inside, and people were moving tables all over the place which was annoying: it definitely has a very sports bar vibe. They have a nice outdoor patio that's open during the warmer months, which is the only time I will ever concede to dine in at Golden Crust again. We enjoyed our food but then went elsewhere to have more beverages as we were annoyed with the ambiance, drinks, and service. read more

Had top stars via Grubhub. The good: lots of cheese, and fresh ingredients Bad: The pizza is/has a lot of dough. Taste of the crust Was blah. We were pretty hungry and could not eat more than one slice. Was not good, but the pizza looked great. Sadly, we threw the rest away. I'd give less stars, but I don't want to hurt the rating , especially during these times. read more

Just got my Super Veg pizza with an add on of ground beef. I ordered because I've passed by it for years and got a recent mailing. So, my question is do they lean towards the taps or the pizzas. I know that these reviews can be devastating for small businesses, and I always want to order from small businesses, vs franchises. That being said, I paid $56 for a single xl pizza delivered. Was it tasty, yes. Did I feel the value was there, God no. I wish them years of success. read more

My daughter's father loves this establishment because of its pizza and 3 Floyd's beer selection. I like this place because of the numerous beer specials. Every once in a while, I bring my 4 year old daughter here; however, when I do, I don't drink whenever she's present. Of course, in any establishment that serves liquor, my daughter cannot post up in a bar counter seats, only dining tables. I love fruity beers, so I had the Lost Coast Tangerine ($5) and an Apple cider beer made from Michigan apples ($6). The cider beer is clear and smooth. Both were enjoyable. This establishment has outdoor seating covered with glass divider. Small parking lot. Digital jukebox. Street parking is challenge, meter parking available. Near railroad tracks, brown line. read more

Great food the worst service ever! Maddie was so rude; not only did she make fun my need to make sure my beer wasn't too hoppy she was clearly all over the place.

I'm gonna keep coming back cause they let dog on the patio but be on the look out for Maddie she could win worst waitress of the year! read more

One of my favorite local spots, I've been coming here, recommending people, and ordering food from here for over 3 years. Unfortunately, one bad experience can surely spoil that, I would've given 0 stars if possible to the rude short Latina with the blond hair that couldn't even greet me properly. As a person who has done food service for over 10 years, trust me I know a proper greet. The last time this bartender served me she probably doesn't remember because she was a bit under the influence but the manager bought my first drink, I sat at the bar and ate my food it was a dead night. Today she said she's never seen me. It's gonna be awhile til I come back have to get the bad taste in my mouth, hopefully it'll give you guys enough time to clean house. Truly disappointed! read more
