    I see this place is expanding somewhere else in Chicago landing. I was leaving work. I decide to pull over and give this place a shot. I do not eat pork so only went with the cheese slice. It was very underwhelming. I think that cheese slice was about $5

    Ambiance was good. Food was great and very fresh. Service was amazing and she was very kind. Will definitely be back! We loved it! (Do not pay attention to Haters in the neighborhood).

    Impressive. Finally we get something worthwhilein our neighborhood of West Elsdon, as we are often overlooked but the businesses are starting to flourish after 2020 and this makes me happy. Gone are the times of the smaller pizza places as Paisans was known in the suburbs and has now landed here which for us is a big deal. Nicely done! For starters we came on a Saturday and ordered chicken vesuvius I'm a rich dark sauve. Unfortunately I expected more as it was a few pieces of a chicken and large potatoes wedges. Not at all what I expected,, the taste was okay though. For the size and the price, I don't think it matches. It's not even 1/2 a chicken and at best, okay. It goes well with a nice and cold beer on draft though. The soup (lentils) had big chunks of bacon and was extremely well seasoned and very authentic. But of course in an Italian pizzeria, lentils soup is not the typical norm as this was done paisa (mexican) style, absolutely not bad though. This is something that many would surely appreciate for sure. The cob salad was 1/3 portion but extremely worth the price as I couldn't even finish it. They had roasted corn on it so it was a nice touch. All in all I would defintely come back for pizza and beer and maybe chicken wings. The vesuvius is not to my expectation but it is good I will give it that. Try it and I am almost certainly you would like it, but ask for a side of rice or something as I felt it lacked something of a side, potatoes wedges just don't seem to be the ending. So for circuses, I appreciate the really nice atmosphere and for the service, the waiter was very well versed in hospitality and that's is always a plus. Food was good, and like I said I would be back. So please make sure you try them out.

    An absolutely remarkable place, and the food its even better. So much flavor. Since the first time i had the pizza from Paisans 8 years ago Ive been keep coming back. We loved the place, its nice and crowded and They just opened a new location near my house and  let me they you the decor in the place is excellent! It's a combination of rustic and industrial, I will call it Rustrial. This time we were able to sat down right away. We knew what we wanted, so We order the jumbo Supreme pizza, it comes with Sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, and green peppers. and for the side order i had The Award winning First place at Chicago's best wing fest 2017 Pineapple Habanero Wings they are tossed with your choice of sauce. Served with ranch. and for my drink i had the Lemonade. Once the Pizza and the wings arrived. We were taken to flavor town. Every single bite was out of this world. But The pineapple Habanero Wings were the real winner in this feats. The sauce has become a favorite of mine. i didn't know the combination of pineapple and habanero will go so perfect, like a dance full of flavor. This place is amazing! Great atmosphere, family friendly and the decor is vintage beautiful! With 8 locations all over the chicago area and new ones opening up soon I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Thank you!!!

    The best quality is using fresh ingredients to make pizza, and tasty onion rings and lemon peppers are good, too.

    No good vegan options :(…read more I got the green salad and added avocado (paid extra just for 30% of an avocado) and extra dressing. Overpriced salad for sure. Also the outdoor seating was horrible. No umbrellas so we were melting under the hot sun the whole time. My friends enjoyed the fries but said the burger lacked veggies.

    There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

My friend and I each ordered a burger and fries for ourselves. The NADC burger ($16) was decent, but it didn't blow my mind like people have raved about. I know it's not the original location which can play a part as well. What I really enjoyed and even finished my friend's were the fries. I love some good fries and these were top quality. You could taste the difference of the oil these fries were made in. They were nice and crispy and very good! I could keep eating them and would rather get the fries than the burger next time. I'd probably still get a burger since I need some meat and savory.

Even better eating it in person! I learned this is a pressed patty and not a smash burger. This is my favorite burger in the city! Such a cool vibe in here, very fun music and decor. I'm obsessed!
