Cute vibes and great drinks. I love coming here w friends and grabbing a drink and a huge pizza. I love the energy here over anywhere else in Wrigley, which feels dirty and just fratty. It's super chic here but also still feels sporty and fun. Def recommend to come on a non-cubs night so you can just watch a little sports and hang w friends read more

SO glad to have a Happy Camper up in Wrigleyville now! I previously ordered delivery from either Homeslice in LP or the OG Happy Camper in Old Town, so I'm very excited to have this location just a few blocks away. Was craving a Dime Piece the other, like so many nights before, and that's when I was reminded of this location. I've dined in before, and they have a lovely outdoor space, with a HUGE rooftop patio. But this evening, I was looking to enjoy a personal pizza with a ranch boat in bed. Happy Camper has some of the best pizza in the city! It's not your typical cheese and pepperoni (while they have the classics), you're coming to/ordering Happy Camper for one of their more creative pizza options. My absolute favorite is the dime piece. Huge pieces of grilled chicken, fresh jalapenos, cream cheese, chili flakes, garlic, and cheese, I'm getting hungry just writing this review! It's absolutely delicious, and it has the perfect amount of spice to it. I also LOVE the jalapeno homies appetizer. Which is hollowed out jalapenos, filled with cream cheese, bacon, cheese, tomato, and a side of BBQ sauce. Must order! I've tried a lot of their other chicken pizzas, all of which are amazing. And if you're dining in, you cannot forget their drinks! My favorite is the Umbrella, which is vodka and a grapefruit radler. Two of those are you're feeling great. They also have a lot of fun alcohol to go options right now, none of which I've tried, but they look cool and creative. You really can't go wrong with Happy Camper! PS order the ranch boat (large) because you're gonna want more. Best ranch in the city, hands down. read more

Great choices for pizzas; satisfied the carnivores & nearly vegetarian. The crust was freshly handmade. The pan allowed the pizza to bake perfectly and not at all greasy. My son declared the Matt was more delicious than Costco's--after he removed the bell pepper, olives, and mushrooms. The Linda was wonderful with spinach, roasted peppers, feta, and garlic. Service was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable. The women's restroom was clean & attractive. The Happy Camper provides great food & atmosphere to the afternoon family crowd (me) and the evening crowd. read more

Very busy place but reservations are the way to go. Husband and I walked in after cubs game because we were starving and they did not want to serve us due to not having a reservation even though seats were available when they said it was a full house. I disrespect that as server/bartender my whole life. Food was great though and fun atmosphere. Overall we were Happy Campers read more

Such a fun bar among a ton of options near Wrigley. Good drinks, good food (great pizza), and very friendly service.

Super cool place! The food, service, and look of the place is very nice. Love all the lights, RV logo, and the huge disco ball. The drinks and food are delicious. I ordered a vegetable pizza that was just the perfect size and the crust was perfect. read more

This was my second time being subjected to what they call food. My younger friends love this place and I'm seriously concerned about their taste buds. Latest was a visit for "brunch". I was early so ordered an Aperol Spritz. $19.72 for an average sized glass and it wasn't even made quite right. Yes, $20 for the pleasure of sitting in their establishment. What a joke. My friends get there and we are seated. I'm GF so ordered a GF pizza. I wanted a pesto base but waitress said not to get it with the cheese spinach item I also wanted. I ordered a build your own. I added mushrooms, the cheese thing, arugula (paid $1 for it, never got it!), and roasted chicken. The pizza comes. I almost gag. The chicken looks like deli style, sliced chicken. It was disgusting. The pizza was super dry. No arugula, which until I just looked a receipt to send $ to the friend that paid, forgot about. It was almost unedible. I had to then order pesto on the side. All of this and I spent over $20. I managed to choke down 2 pieces, I ripped off the gross chicken food slices too. NEVER again. This place is so super cute. Cute logo. Inside is nice. Waitress was nice but damn, she saw I was disgusted. Never once did she ask if I wanted it redone. A good place wouldn't have let someone eat something so clearly gross. She also mislead me on the pesto base, and she seemed to realize this. She was nice but it was bad customer service. I'll never set foot in this place again. Overpriced everything. Horrid food. Just awful. read more

Fun place for good eats and drinks. The whipped feta and warm elote dip were excellent. Large portions great for sharing, and lots of bread and chips so no need to ask for more. Pizza, as expected, was pretty good, nice chewy crust. Large beer selection and decent cocktails. It can be a bit chaotic, but exceptional servers covered all the bases, never letting anyone go hungry or thirsty. read more

I recently went to Happy Camper and it was fantastic. The atmosphere is very ascetically pleasing. They had upbeat music playing and lots of great decor. There were four of us and we split the hummus plate, pulled pork nachos and then the Buffalo pizza and pepperoni pizza. It was larger portions for the app then we had anticipated. They all tasted great, but I really liked the Buffalo chicken pizza and nachos the best. I also had an old fashioned with no simple syrup that was really good. Loved the vibe here and would definitely come back. read more

This is my first time at happy camper and the manager Lew and the waitress Sarah was very accommodating! We came on a Tuesday and did not expect much but they blew out expectations! The service was on point! Highly recommend for a night out. Sarah went above the call of duty, can't expect a better place for a Tuesday than this place! Manager Lew is also very knowledgeable about his place, I have never seen a place so keen to details for customers. Thank you everyone who works there! read more

Came here for opening day of cubs - solid, as always! Incredibly busy, but we were able to get a table for 10 - so shout out to the incredible service and hostess! Food is always solid for snacking. We got a pizza, whipped feta (AMAZING) and chips and elote (more like queso and chorizo, a bit disappointed). I've also gotten the potato skins (YUM) and jalapeño homies (SO SPICY) before - as well as the Ryan pizza (solid) Cocktails and draft drinks are very reasonable and creative. Everything came out quickly and the rooftop ambiance was excellent - light, airy, crowded - yes, but cute as ever. A great spot for munchies and chill drinks. read more

I came here for bingo last night with some friends. It was my first time at either location so I was excited to try the pizza. The place is right in Wrigleyville and when you walk in it feels like a bar/club/restaurant mix. There are bright lights, loud music, and people sitting down for food. The four of us ended up starting with the wings and mozzarella sticks, got the wells st salad and the kale cobb, and then a large Tony and Mike. The wings were typical wings, while the mozzarella sticks were slightly different than I expected. They weren't fried, they were soft bread with cheese on top, served with marinera. Both were decent. The wells st salad was light and refreshing, and the kale cobb was really good if you like kale. It was pretty packed. As for the real reason we were there, the tony was the winner of the 2 pizzas we got. I thought it was good not great, while the mike lacked a little bit of punch if you will. On a bright note, I really enjoyed the dough. Overall it's a fun spot and I recommend you try it if you're in the mood for a fun pizza spot. Score 7.1/10 read more

Came in for Sunday brunch with my sister who's visiting from out of town and it was a hit! If you're looking for the perfect background for an Instagram story, Happy Camper is the spot. We split the full bottle of Prosecco, which came with the cutest pitcher of orange juice. We started with the mozzarella sticks, and while they were delicious, it was more-so cheesy bread and not breaded mozzarella sticks like we were expecting.. but truly any combo of carbs and cheese cannot disappoint. I excitedly ordered the breakfast pizza which was pretty good. What won us over, however, was the brunchtime DJ. There was not a single song he played that we were not either singing out loud or bopping our heads to. read more

Happy camper truly makes me happy! The vibes of this place are the best, and every one of the staff members is always making sure you're having a good time.

This is a great place to meet up and grab a casual dinner & drinks with a group of friends before a night out. During the holidays the place is decked out with shimmery vibrant decor and you can take plenty of Instagram-worthy photos if you're into that type of thing. Make sure to make reservations because there will def be a wait esp on the weekends. The menu is fun - our favorite pizzas are the Matt and Ed. I would say the pizzas are pretty average, they are great for when you're drinking & hanging out. For drinks - I like the pink flamingo (tequila, pomegranate & jalapeno) and matcha mama (who knew green tea matcha and lemonade would go so well together). read more

Warning!!!!! Don't ever plan on making a reservation here with children with you. I had family in town with 4 kids. I specifically made reservations in advance to insure a place to eat. When all 7 of us arrived the bouncer told us we couldn't get in. I said I made reservations 2 weeks ago and it wasn't A problem when i called. When I asked to speak to the manager he told us no too and that this was a "new policy a month" ago...what a crock of shit!! I then again said nooooo we called two weeks ago! They made no exception for us. So now we are struggling to find a place near by to eat with 4 hungry kids. Thanks FOR NOTHING! Get your policy right! It's either yes to kids or it isn't...the manager was extremely rude and the bouncer was laughing/smirking at us when we Had to leave....glad he thinks it's so Funny....bet he has NO KIDS of his own (asshole). read more

I still haven't been to the original Old Town location, but I've had my fair share of pizzas and other dishes from this restaurant group. Obviously, I'm a fan, as I keep coming back to each of the restaurants for more. This new Happy Camper in Wrigleyville was intelligently designed with a big open patio space, rooftop area, and huge bar in the middle. Our service was great too, even on such a busy Saturday afternoon. We started off with some drinks, buffalo wings, and blackened chicken ceasar salad. All delicious and scarfed down immediately- we were hungry! We also ordered two medium pizzas for our group of five- the Matt (meaty) and the Lance (veggie). Both were absolutely perfect combinations of delicious toppings. We were so full and couldn't finish, but don't worry, the leftovers were consumed later that day. The fun part of Happy Camper is staying and drinking with your big group while your food digests, and we did exactly that. It was a great meetup spot for our friends, and we enjoyed the food and service as well. read more

Adorable spaces for drinks, food, baseball, and celebration. Came here with a big group and were seated on the second floor. Food took some time to arrive, but they (pizza, breakfast burrito, breakfast bowl, club sandwich, etc.) were all tasty and fresh from the kitchen. Drinks were strong and yummy. A friend ordered the bottomless mimosas, and our server did a good job at spotting when the glass was empty and refilling with the delicious goodness. The service got slower and incomplete (many items were forgotten) as the day goes by, our server seemed very overwhelmed toward the end of our dining experience. Overall a pleasant experience, if you're okay with potentially slow services. read more

I subscribe. I was definitely a Happy Camper! If you've ever seen this place in passing, you can probably guess that ya best make a reservation... nuff said. For food, I've only ever had their pizza, and it is incredible. The pizza crust is immaculate. The cheese overfloweth. 10/10. Would recommend. For drinks, I went with the Bloody Mary. Their menu says it's voted one of the best in Chicago, so obvi. Gotta try it. My waitress asked if I wanted it spicy. YES. She then asked if I want it extra spicy. EXTRA YES. To my surprise, it arrived with a whole slice of pepperoni pizza across the rim of the glass. It looked so appetizing that I ate it and "forgot" I was vegetarian. The ambiance here is fun and lively, so be prepared to raise your voice above the noise to talk! read more

On a busy Saturday night, the service was friendly and overall efficient. It took a while for seating despite tables sitting open for fairly long periods. Shared several pizzas and all were delicious. The Tim and Matt were stand outs. The beer selection was good. read more

The energy & vibe was wonderful. The hangover iced coffee was delicious, not too sweet, and the donut on top may have been the best part! The pulled pork hash was SO filling- wonderful, fresh ingredients, and the egg was cooked perfectly. Loved our server, Amir! He had great drink recommendations (The Flamingo is delicious if you love spicy!) and was fun & attentive. Also unrelated to the food- LOVED the bathroom decor! The Christmas energy was so fun read more

We had the Benny's pizza and it was amazing! Definitely recommend to anyone who likes green peppers! Even better than the pizza, was the service. We had the pleasure of dealing with Rachel and George. Couldn't have asked for a more attentive duo. (At one point we thought Rachel was a manager lol). Aside from that, the drinks were also very good. We had the umbrella drinks. Edit (8/10/19): Rachel is still the bomb with exceptional service. Go see her and you won't regret your experience! read more
